The Unbound OOC

Hello all! I'm Kia (she/her) and am so excited to be joining the game. I'm in my 30s & live in New Orleans, though I'm originally from Australia. I found y'all through Emily, who is an internet-poetry-community friend. I've been roleplaying since I was a wee pre-teen on Yahoo! chatrooms, but this is my first return to IJ / journal format RP in...quite some time! I work from home, so am available sporadically throughout the day and usually pretty late into the night. You can catch me on gchat (kia.groom at gmail dot com) for plotting and chit chat.


I'm dropping Adaline Auster into the fray, a 23 year old Clovennian noblewoman, polio patient, and shifter, sister of the inimitable Courtenay Auster. Adaline has fled to Aurelle to escape an arranged marriage orchestrated by her father, though she has framed this as "clearing her head" and "seeking her brother's counsel." Her current plan is to draw out the stalemate for as long as possible, until escalation becomes (inevitably) necessary.


Adaline likely has some history with other Clovennian woman of her same age, though she's been largely absent from the public eye due to complications following a childhood polio infection. As a result of the isolation she has periodically experienced, especially during her childhoods and teens, she often comes across as...a little bit strange. She has little regard for social niceties and is often extremely blunt. She also has a fascination with Clovennian folklore, especially faerie legends, which others frame as whimsical (or, more unkindly, borderline delusional). Her interest may, more accurately, be considered a conspiracy theory. She's also handy with a screwdriver: if you want your watch fixed, Adaline is your girl.


Dropbox forthcoming - gchat is best for now! Open to any/all plotting, though I'm an absolute sucker for power plays and tense dynamics, so if you're keen to build toward something of that ilk, let me know!
