Monicah "Momo" Seafare of Cadosa

♔ Character Name: Monicah "Momo" Seafare

♔ Gender: Female

♔Age: 19

♔Birthplace: Cadosa

♔Physical Appearance: Monicah is never different from her family. She aspires to be among them, a line of great knights, and will never try to look like someone else. She dresses prim and proper, although those clothes always tend to get dirty after a stroll or two at the nearest shores. She never lets her long, wavy blonde hair down, and almost always makes herself clips and hair ties from the resources they use in doing fishing nets and baskets. Her face is small, with a sloped nose and moderately high cheekbones. Even though she's slightly conscious of the way she looks, her lips never cease to break into a wide grin minute after minute. It's another thing coming from the lively coast of Cadosa.

♔ Personality: Monicah is festive and joyous. It's almost a miracle to see her serious these times. Her manners only stop shortly at the way she grooms herself - she'd never stop to think before she pronounces her words at the top of her lungs. It's a trait everyone else shares, being so accustomed to the noisy streets of Cadosa's festival-lit towns and the rare but loud, foreign traders and their tall tales. It's one of the few things that get her into trouble. She could still control herself though, and would never risk a wrong move for the people she treasures the most.

♔ Past: Monicah comes from a fine line of knights serving Cadosa. Her mother is one, who'd been guarding posts along the sandy shores of the Port ever since she's still young and lively. Her parents met when her father came from the near port of Galieth, there to spend his week during a bright festival one autumn. Monicah's their only child. They'd brought her up well and she'd never experienced hardships before, really, save for the times they've trained her for her already-cemented path of becoming a knight. She responded to the King's call to see if being one is a test of her own courage, or something of a burden from all the high expectations of her large family. Whatever happens, she's ready to accept anything that comes in her way.

♔ Skills: Monicah is very good at dancing to festival songs - a tradition for young women in the small kingdom. The dances require flexibility at most, and that's why her body's greatly accustomed to complicated movements, something she could put into good use when getting into tight places and scaling through walls and trees. Aside from that, she's also great at throwing heavy objects and weaving nets.

♔ Strengths: Monicah's already skilled at throwing tridents and at most, spears. She's fast both on land and underwater, and could create the simplest traps within a minute.

♔ Weaknesses: She is never known to be good in combat. She's safe when at a good, far distance, but never up close. If put in such a situation, she'd either break into a run or make something up, anything at all. On top of everything, she also isn't very good at identifying faces and remembering names.

♕ King Artheur: A lineage contestant! How lovely. I look forward to seeing you continue your family's legacy, my dear.

♕ Queen Melinda: It'll be a shame when you let down your parents.

♕ Roland Delmere: Your spirit is so bright, so full of joy! It will be a pleasure to see you break under the weight of life's realities...

♞Sir Thomas: I've always enjoyed the festivals of Cadosa. You lot seem to have so many, but they're always so diverse. Sadly, I'm not as knowledgeable on the subject as you must be. You'll have to show them to me sometime.

♞Sir Adeline: Please ignore Thomas, he flirts more than he works. You can survive here if you hold fast to your spirit and joys and harden your mind to the will of the sword.
