This is two days late but I still want to celebrate the first anniversary of Soledormir's Keys RP, so I've chosen to share some unknown facts about Eira Whiteheart. More below and in the comments!
Also, the dress I had been hinting about before is this kimono, which she will probably wear to the Howaito festival.
Enjoy!

-------
1. I knew from the day I created her that I was basing Eira off of some character from a movie, but I couldn't remember who. But just recently, I recalled one scene from the first Narnia film where the White Witch wore a black dress and had what looked like feathers or spikes protruding past one shoulder. That single image had remained in my head as I created Eira, and it resulted in her corrupted side and ice abilities.
2. Before she left Howaito, Eira spent a lot of her time playing the violin. Although she played mainly for enjoyment, the experience brought out her love for music. Interestingly, Eira loathed the idea of picking up an instrument until her insistent parents finally stuck one in her hands and hired a tutor.
3. I think it's finally time I told you guys what on earth this girl was doing for the past four years. In order to sustain herself for so long, Eira ended up working for several groups of traveling musicians at different times.

In exchange for playing her violin for them (and dancing on some occassions), she was given food and lodging, and she got to travel across the whole western side of the Land of Dreams.
4. I have never mentioned Eira's brother because I keep forgetting about him, but he does exist and he's part of the reason why Eira was so reckless and tomboyish. However, Eira is ten years younger, so they didn't spend much time together before her brother moved out. Currently, she does not know how he is doing, but before she disappeared he was visiting Serenity.

5. And finally, rather amusingly, Eira has ichthyophobia: the fear of fish. Although she can tolerate being near fish, the thought of eating one or witnessing a dead one makes her sick. Her phobia manifested as a twelve-year-old when she was served a fish on a plate that was still twitching with life. Especially when the portion she ate gave her a stomach ache all night, Eira developed a hatred for and fear of fish that hasn't faded since.
Also a bonus fact, Eira is very self-conscious about the size of her chest, because it is below average. The moments when Hiiro called her "flat-chested" genuinely offended her because it wasn't far from the truth.
And that's all! Thanks for reading!

That was fun to read! I definitely wouldn't have expected her to have been an entertainer at any point. You should do more facts for her or write some for another character, I enjoyed reading through these. X)

Reply: I have an exercise I do with my original characters to help me learn more about them. You might want to try it sometime, if you're ever stuck on developing an OC.
Basically, you write down lots of facts about the character - the same number of facts as the years in their age. So if your character is 18, you think up 18 facts about them. It can be pretty fun. X)

Re: Thank you so much for all the nice comments!

Reply: You don't attempt it if they're that old. XD
Or, as an alternative, you can go by their age appearance. So if they're 2000 years old but look 25, you do 25 facts. It's a lot easier that way. XD
The largest number of facts I ever had to think up was 55, and that was hard enough. XD

Reply: Sure! Check my favourites on DA and you'll see I have a folder containing character development sheets and quizzes made by other people. I haven't tried all of them myself, but they might be worth looking at.

Ooooh, that's so interesting to learn! I never would've thought that she's afraid of fish XP
Her kimono is really pretty, too, but it makes me feel cold, with how open the top is X'D
