Valorous [An Original Character Book]

Johanna Dawn

Role| The Fighter

Name| Johanna Dawn [Insert last name here] (People call her Jo for short if they don't want to pronounce the whole thing.)

Age| 18 years old

Looks| Johanna is tall, tall enough to warrant gawking in the street. Her figure isn't girlish, it's lean like a runner and toned as one, too. She has tan skin, bruises and cuts are hidden by her gown, injuries she earned from playing with boys or wandering off into the woods. Callouses claimed her soft skin, and she's okay with having tough hands. Her eyes are wide, a mint green color. Her nose is a tiny bit crooked thanks to being whacked in the face with the poker from the fireplace. She's not beautiful like a goddess, she's unnerving plain, yet her plainness is what draws you in. Her lips are a bit mismatched, with her bottom one being a little too full. Hair that tangles so easily, is a brilliant shade of bronze, coming past her rear if she doesn't braid it behind her ear. She can't even think of cutting it, even though it tangles with the leaves and the snow and any element of nature that gets close to it. She doesn't need any assistance of a corset or undergarments, given her thin frame yet buxom posture. Willowy doesn't describe her very well, for she's never really sure how to situate herself in a chair or a room, often walking around barefoot because her feet are tough enough from running outside that shoes hurt her feet. She cleans up well when she is forced to attend parties, but once she's able to pull the gown off and shove it in her closet is pure heaven.

Gender| Female

Sexuality| Heterosexual

Personality| Of course, Jo isn't like most girls,even her name isn't like most girls' pretty ones. She wishes she were an Isabella' or a 'Wendy',not Johanna. Underneath that dangerous look she exudes all the time,is a very lonely girl who just wants to be told she's beautiful,just once. She's ice cold, and not even a horse in the road can bring her to cry...as if she isn't human at all. She never laughs or barely smiles, sometimes her friends gossip that she's Frankenstein's monster in the flesh of an unsettling woman.She bares her teeth a lot when she speaks, showing aggression to those who wish to pull pranks on her.She's not a sweet, buttercup type lady, she's a wild animal that is best handled by a professional, mainly her parents. Occasionally, she can be sweet and alluring and really make your head spin...but only if you're alone with her. She's built up a reputation of being a wilding and doesn't want people to see that she's a girl who just never got the love she craved so she turned to being a tomboy and being one of the guys to earn their approval and respect in place of her parents.

Hobbies/Likes| Jo likes to run, a lot. She dresses up in men's clothing and sneaks out in the middle of the night to run down the streets and race the men in the taverns. She enjoys getting dirty, and smelling of pond water and no regrets. She knows she's supposed to be sweet and gentle, but wrestling with a man is so much better. She is still pure in the physical sense, but her mind is in the gutter and she likes it when men don't waste their time trying to be polite and excuse their French. Horseback riding is fun, especially bareback. She could paint and read for days on end, creating works of art for anyone to enjoy and reciting her favorite quotes.

Dislikes| Girls telling her she should be ashamed of her wild personality. Men saying she should go back to dressmaking or stay in the kitchen. Cooking isn't her best hobby, and she feels like she isn't made to be a high class lady, more of a girl on a farm, where her interests would be better suited. Beer makes her sick, when she can sneak a sip under the watchful eyes of others. Being seductive will make her laugh her head off, yet there's that small innocent part of her that would very much like a man to touch her. Often times she fears that no man will want her because they control her.

Password| Lemon

Thoughts on the Seven Days| She acts like she doesn't care, but she does just a little bit. She hides it very well, enough to make people believe she outright hates it.

Other| She's allergic to cats. A secret she has is that she wants to be courted, yet still have that intimate moment of excitement and pure joy.

Outfits| Things she wears.

One of the only dresses she wears, otherwise she traipses about in men's clothing of breeches, a cap, boots, and a long shirt.
