Violet Macar

[Violet Macar]

NAME: Violet “Daisy” Macar

GENDER: Female

RACE: Ajatar, though she often claims to be a human to avoid the suspicions that go hand-in-hand with being what she is.

AGE: Thirty one years of age.

HEIGHT&BUILD: Violet, in the typical form that she has chosen, stand at five feet and eight inches and – in the morning – typically weighs around one hundred and thirty-nine pounds. This varies however; as her weight tends to fluctuate depending on what she eats and does quite annoyingly.


APPEARANCE:
From top to bottom, Violet looks eccentric, and of course that is only her typical appearance. At the top of her head sits an untidy mop of dark hair that appears to have been gelled out into a series of odd shapes and spikes. Some of her hair is even piled into two haphazard pigtails at the back of her head that keep the rest of her odd-looking black locks out of her pale face.

Her face itself is pretty run-of-the-mill despite the fact that she selected it for herself. Her eyes are a bland brown colour and unfilled with any interesting specks of gold or green or – well – violet. Her eyes are spaced evenly and her cheek bones are only slightly higher than those of your average Jane. She adds a rouge to her cheeks to bring them out a bit more (although it might be that she simply shapeshifts herself so that her cheeks come pre-blushed) and yet does not add any other glamour items like paint on her lips or dust on her eyes. The lips she leaves untampered with are slightly wide-set on her face, allowing her mouth to be a little bigger than the average – she says the big mouth lets her speak twice as fast and well. The nose that everyone wishes she would keep out of their business is not quite as large as people have imagined it might be, but it does still appear large on her face.

Violet’s usual body is of average proportions; average sized breasts, slightly pudgy middle, legs that don’t go on for miles as you see on most beautiful women. She honestly doesn’t mind if this is how people see her, Violet Macar doesn’t need to be a bombshell, she says. Violet Macar needs to turn into a bombshell when she needs to seduce information out of men.

The Violet Macar that everyone knows as that person wears eccentric clothing that matches well with her odd hair. Wheras most women wear simple dresses or trousers, Violet wanders around in a mini-dress decorated in a busy purple and brown pattern that ends far before her knees. A large sequined coat of leather and a bright weave finds its place atop of the poor excuse for a dress. It that has an incredibly high collar formed to stay up around her neck and surround it immovably. The sleeves of the coat are severely baggy, but pulled together at the elbow in order to create a bag-like look around her upper arm. Flowing down past the loose section is a tighter one covered in sequins made of silver and gold buttons that glitter when she walks through the streets of the cities.

All of this is, of course, what Violet looks like when she is simply being herself. Having perfected the shape-shifting abilities of her race like most do, she uses it to her advantage and transforms herself to become any form she thinks is necessary to entice a fascinating story out of someone.


SPECIAL ABILITY:
As all Asuwangs can, Violet has the inherent ability to become invisible at will, or to turn into her true form – a shimmering white orb that floats in the air as if it were strung up. Also like most Asuwangs, she has studied to perfect the art of shape-shifting – though she suffers a sacrifice within her physical strength, magical capabilities and speed. After she has shape-shifted it takes her a few minutes to regain her balance (she will typically fall and feel dizzy) and she cannot turn invisible for at least a day in between a transformation.


PERSONALITY:
Befitting of her odd appearance, Violet is peculiar. When not attempting to be someone else, Violet is sneaky and extremely charismatic. She always seem prepared with a topic for conversation to strike up talk with anyone who looks the least bit interesting, even those who don’t look at all intriguing if she’s bored at the time. She’s also an extremely curious person, leading her into awkward and dangerous situations, as she gets involved with people who ought not see her being involved.

When Violet speaks, she speaks with a diction full of odd slang and made-up words, phrases and things that people may never have heard of before. Many people find it odd and try to avoid her, some find it amusing, some endearing, and some find it completely annoying and the equivalent of loony speak – which many think she is in her typical Violet Macar form.

Violet is a very good actress. No one knows that she is actually Daisy Wright of The Tablet’s gossip column save for her employers, and she is very good at keeping it that way. Whenever she needs information, she shapeshifts into someone completely different and tacks on a new personality – and often a completely new voice or accent. This lifestyle keeps her from making many lasting friends (as many never even see the same version of her twice) which has turned her into the kind of person who can easily get through a day without another person helping her along.

Violet loves to make up stories, on a slow news-day she’ll typically invent new rumours about famous people to fill the spaces in the gossip column of The Tablet. Occasionally she even writes her own letters to herself in order to fill up empty room on the pages – this often makes people even more angry, especially the people who are the subject of the lie. To all of this, Violet simply says that gossip can never be as much fun when it’s the truth: “Daisy Wright” still has her die-hard fans who literally drool for more gossip and couldn’t agree more.


ORIENTATION:
If she were to settle down with someone, it would certainly be a man. However, she is more than open to have sexual relations with a woman if it means she gets a juicy bite of gossip for the sacrifice. Anything for the people, she says.

LIKES:
Due to her curious nature, Violet loves to investigate the mysterious – or even the not-so mysterious. In fact, anything that keeps her from being bored is a completely perfect way to spend her time. Coming up with stories, or finding people with truly interesting ones to share, is her life’s passion and thus she loves her job and everything it entails – going under cover as someone else, getting into high-danger situations and risking her neck, exploiting peoples secrets and of course exposing even the dirtiest of lies to an interested public. One of the simpler things she likes that doesn’t involve her work (not directly, anyhow) are daisies. Due to her love of the adorable looking flower, she named herself Daisy in the gossip column for her own safety.

DISLIKES:
There really isn’t a huge number of things that Violet dislikes. She’s always open to trying new things – especially for the job – and even in situations where she is reluctant to perform necessary tasks, she has hardly ever found anything horrible enough to say that she purely dislikes it. Perhaps, if nothing else, Violet dislikes the people who refuse to give her any information despite all she does to entice it from them.

HISTORY:
Violet, like many of her race, was born to two other Asuwang in the form of a brightly glowing white orb. Her parents, instead of attempting to feed her or love her, immediately began training her how to change into the human form that would become the one they assumed would contain both of their traits. When she transformed, however, she looked nothing like either of them expected. She looked like a conglomeration of their two original humanoid forms, the ones that they didn’t show one another. It was that first moment of her humanoid life they would realize showed how much of a hunger for what was beneath the skin their little Violet had – that was what they had named her, of course and, being the uncreative people they were, they did it because her eyes had held that very colour (the colour of her father’s eyes in his original form) when she first turned herself. The colour changed a few minutes later when she started crying for breast milk, but her parents always remembered it as such, even when they look at her plain brown ones now.

As she grew up, Violet held the same curiosity for the mysterious that many children had. The only difference was that Violet’s question were not things like “where does the rain come from?” or “why is the sky blue” or “why do birds fly” no – her questions were regarding the people around her. “Why do you have that bump on your stomach and why does your husband hate it?” Was the first thing she asked somebody that managed to make someone embarrassed and another furious. She eventually learned how to become more suave with her questions and far less forward with her attempted readings at their feelings – but she would still think the same things. It was the reason the community of Asuwang that filled a small portion of Prestego initially shunned her. Instead of being depressed that these people would force her to leave where she had grown up, she happily skipped off – at that time she was a teenager hungry to see the world and find out the secrets behind the people in it. Her parents were more than a little sad to see her go, but it was what she wanted and thus they decided to support their little girl.

After exploring the reaches of Rielcia for a bit and dabbling in the craft of story-telling she decided that she believed the truth tended to be a lot juicier and interesting – especially when it ruined someone’s reputation. The only question she had left in her mind at this point was one of how to spread a word far enough. Unbeknownst to her, around this time in her life the printing press was being invented and the creator of the Tablet was already spinning ideas in his head about a worldwide news provider. Not knowing how she could possibly spread her word far enough while staying within the confines of Rielcia, she took a boat over to the Aebrynis continent and spent her time living in different areas throughout the countries within it.

In Niseca, her first stop, she spent her days outside of the Clemen castle gates flirting with guards in a shape-shifted form. Hiding her movements in a flirtatious gesture she slipped Listening Pins onto their uniforms. She would use these to listen in on what they were saying, what the people around them were saying. She wrote them down in a series of parchment diaries that she still keeps at her home. There are many interesting pieces of gossip that could ruin many people’s lives that she is holding onto, waiting for just the right moment. The same can be said for her time spent in Fiamont, where she disguised herself as a foreign non-common speaking stable girl to be hired at the Padovan Castle. There are several leather-backed notebooks that she bought while in the Kingdom to write down all of the things she had heard there. In Aissic and Submiere she found herself experimenting with her ability to turn invisible. She gained a plethora of juicy information – depressingly for her; however, she would lose it in four years time in a fire that would be set within her office. She would never have a chance to publish the information.

After her many years spent discovering this incredible information in Aebrynis, she would hear through word of mouth the creation of The Tablet and its requests for writers to contribute articles to make an interesting document. It took Violet another six months to raise the funs to travel up to Artavia, but the moment she was there she sped to The Tablet’s new headquarters and demanded a job. She was given the position of secretary. Angered, but willing to work her way into something interesting, she poured herself into her work, impressing her employer. When she approached him with the idea of a section for gossip – something that had yet to exist in The Tablet – and he was intrigued. He allowed her to write out a copy of what she would provide, after he read it – it ran in the next issue of the news.

The paper was, at that point, only being spread through Artavia and Violet had many fans after articles upon articles from her were produced, of course she also had many people who hated the things she said. Her office was set aflame, destroying several of her articles and possessions – nearly killing her as she attempted to retrieve the notations. After that she invented a new name for herself, The Tablet claimed that due to her life feeling threatened Violet Macar opted out of the news, Daisy Wright took over the column.

Over the years, Daisy slowly became a household name. Several myths surround who she is, seeing as no one but the owner of The Tablet knows that Daisy’s real identity of Violet Macar who many believe is living an isolated life in a small house in Altuena. Violet however is living a life as isolated as one might expect the owner of a tavern’s to be – busy and full of interesting people that will tell you a lot of things when drunk. She travels the world looking for people to drag information out of for new articles, and any time she runs low she picks an unsuspecting victim to being circulating new rumours about. Daisy Wright has become even more notorious than Violet had been when she used her own name - on a slow month in gossip she's even created well-written rumours about the deities themselves.
