At a Glance:

Name: Bambina Levie (Bam-BEE-na Lev-EE)

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Species: Human

Height: 5 foot 1

Occupation: Author (just starting out) and Innkeeper (to earn money+family business)

Not-So-Basic Information:

Looks:
Babina has light pink wavy hair that goes to about the bottom of her shoulder blades. Despite being straight, it always seems to get in her way if she doesn't do anything... so she usually puts it up in a ponytail or messy bun. Like many Serinians, she has fair skin and is short. She has dark green eyes that follow you when you talk or make noise, but not otherwise. This is because she is blind.

Even though the tradition is that most women wear long dresses, Bambina hardly wears a dress that goes past her knees. Longer dresses are too easy to trip in. Even though she can't see, Bambina does help choose her dresses. She feels the texture and checks to see if there is anything attached (like bows!). She also asks for what it looks like (colors, patterns, etc). This is something that confuses many people that haven't known her for long, but it makes perfect sense to her. I'll explain how it works in abilities.

Personality:
Although you might expect Babina to be less judgmental because she cannot see, that is incorrect. She might not be able to judge you in quite the same way, but that doesn't matter. She has found her own way. For example, if you are wearing red, you will be judged harshly. After all, red is the color of blood and death... so surely if you wear it you are not a good person. Bambina has been spoiled all of her life and, for this reason, sometimes acts snobbish and stuck up. In truth, you can compare her to that of a six year old. Her mood changes are quick and she is constantly asking questions. Her energy seems unrelenting but once it's drained, it's completely drained. She hates when things don't go her way and will be very clear about that. But when she discovers something new or things go perfectly, you can just see her light up.

Magic/Abilities:
Bambina is quite the talented lady. While she doesn't have any shown magic, her ability to sense and remember things certainly have people questioning whether there truly is some magic involved. Despite being blind, she sees the world as a beautiful place. Growing up, she asked more questions than any other child. She'd ask what color things were and what they looked like and why they were like that and all sorts of things. Bambina can't see colors. But she links them. For example, she loves the feel of water. She also loves the idea that there is an endless infinity above her. Both of these things (water and the sky) are blue. So she loves the color blue.

Because of the connections that Bambina makes within her head, she actually creates an excellent story teller. She knows details about everything (because everything has been explained to her in wonderful detail) and can create wonderful imagery. Unfortunately, she cannot write. She tells stories verbally at town squares, but hopes to be able to make them permanent one day.

To continue on, Bambina has impeccable memory. With concentration, she can remember where things are and how to get there. She could travel to a clothing shop alone, remembering how many steps she always takes and going around people based on sound. In other words, she can create a map as detailed as needed within her head. But going somewhere new terrifies her. She doesn't know where anything is and one wrong step could lead her somewhere completely different.

History:
Bambina has been blind from birth. However, because of this, she has grown up knowing how to cope and adapt with it. Furthermore, she was spoiled rotten. While her siblings were all spoiled as well, she got special treatment due to her special situation. She could buy whatever she wanted and had at least three slaves/servants with her at all times to fill her needs and answer any questions she had. Despite living a life in which competence was not needed, Bambina was actually the one who demanded to be taught how to get around on her own. While she didn't admit it, she hated being seen as if she was 'lesser' than others. This happened primarily between the ages of twelve and sixteen. She then learned how to complete simple tasks, like getting dressed and creating an easy meal. However, despite her fair amount of independence, she never moved out of her parents' house. This was both because her parents didn't want her to move out and because it was easiest for her (she didn't have to work nor learn her way around somewhere new). But when she turned twenty five, her parents were killed by thugs on their way to Essyrn. She inherited everything—the house, the servants and slaves, and their booming business. Bambina still lives in the house, but she freed all the slaves and got the servants to work for her siblings. Now that she was in complete control of her life, she was determined to live it the way she wanted to. She bought one slave, Toseki, that she was drawn to... but only that one. Despite being blind, she still runs the business and spends a large part of her day there. Not only does it earn the money needed for the land she lives on (and all the clothes she wants to buy), it also gives her a sense of independence. She normally just stays in a back room and writes out loud. In other words, she says what she wants to be written and Toseki will write it down for her. After all, while she might be the innkeeper, it is still her dream to be a writer.
