Personality


[ Polite | Well Mannered ]

Anberlin has always been well mannered and polite. She holds herself to a higher standard, and despite her snooty upbringing, believes that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their location or rank. She does not use any sort of foul language, and aims to be graceful and classy in all situations.


[ Reserved | Quiet ]

Anberlin chose to leave her life in Monabur to become a wanderer because she enjoys peace and quiet, and couldn’t bring herself to return to her family. She appreciates silence more than noise.. She isnt unfriendly, but she is very reserved with her emotions and opinions, she prefers to let others have the spotlight and talk, and would prefer to listen in the background, and only speak up when necessary.


[ Independent | Strong ]

Like her faction, Anberlin has always been independent. She knows how to take care of herself on her own, and does so very well. There are many dangers of living alone, and she is more than capable of handling them.. most of the time. Shes doesnt let fear get to her very often, and while she believes fighting is crude, and will avoid it at all costs, she can defend herself if she needs to.


[ Judgmental | Arrogant ]

Growing up in Monabur plays a role in the way Anberlin views others. While she will never be outwardly rude or disrespectful to anyone, she does silently judge others and the way they carry themselves. While not outwardly arrogant, Anberlin does subconsciously think less of those who treat others poorly. She can sometimes come across as "stuck up" or "conceited" to those that dont know her well


[ Distant | Shy ]

Because of Anberlin’s past, she has a hard time warming up to and trusting others. Anberlin never really had friends as a child, and as a result finds it hard making friends now. She often longs to be more outgoing and friendly, but does not know how, and instead usually shies away from social interaction. Anberlin is not particularly trusting of those that she does not know personally, and it tends to take a long time to earn her trust.


[ Socially Anxious | Awkward ]

Anberlin is not to be confused as to being anti-social. She often desires social interaction to break up the long amounts of times when she is alone, however when faced with potential social situations, she often panics and retreats back to solitude. Anberlin is often awkward in social situations, since she was not well socialized growing up was taught to only associate with horses of her own “class”. She often worries when speaking to others that what she says may be taken out of context, or misconstrued. Anberlin would never intentionally offend anyone, but worries about doing so constantly




History



Anberlin was born into a high class family in Monabur. Her family brought her up with a passion for religion that she still holds today. Anberlin was raised to hold a high respect for the royal family, as well as the high class members of society. Since Anberlin grew up in a high class family herself, she also holds herself to high standards.


Early Life

Anberlin had a trauma free upbringing for the most part. When she was first born, her parents were happy, and her life was relatively simple. Anberlin was born an only child, and wanted for nothing. Anything that she desired was hers without so much of a second thought. She was quite the spoiled child and often walked with her nose held in the air.

Early on, the importance of religion and attending religious celebrations was ingrained into her mind, and she diligently worshipped the Gods.

Anberlin grew up learning how to enjoy her own company, without any siblings to talk or play with. Her parents, having always been upper class, saw lower class families to be “beneath” them, and would do their best to keep Anberlin from speaking to them and “mingling with the commoners”


While Anberlin’s parents did love her, they thought the best way to show their affections were to shower her with any and all of her desires, rather than spending the time with her that she desperately needed. As Anberlin got older, it became increasingly hard to handle the near constant feeling of being alone and isolated.


Teen / Adolescent

When Anberlin was a young and angsty teenager, her parents fought frequently. Living at home had became almost unbearable and in a moment of frustration, she ran away from home.

Anberlin, in a moment of poor judgement had decided that the best way to fix her problems, was to run away from them altogether.


Anberlin ran as far as her legs would carry her, until she eventually passed out from exhaustion in a forest far away from Koruna. When Anberlin eventually woke up the next day, tired and worn, she had no idea where she was. Anberlin panicked, when she realized the reality of her situation, and became even more lost in the process. Having never been out of the city before, she struggled to keep herself alive in the “wild”.


After several grueling months of learning to cope and survive on her own, Anberlin came to enjoy her newfound freedom. Having never been outside of the city walls, the new world around her was intriguing. Anberlin took her time returning to the city, giving herself the space that she needed to clear her thoughts and overcome her angsty teen emotions and unhealthy thoughts. Anberlin found clarity when she looked at the sky, finding peace in the stars. She had never known how beautiful they were because their beauty was always muffled by the lights of the city.



Young Adult

By the time returned to the city once more, she had found herself replaced. In the grief of her absence, Anberlin’s parents had adopted another foal to fill the void that Anberlin created when she left. Anberlin, feeling that her parents had replaced her, chose not to come back home, and instead decided to live the life of a wanderer.


Anberlin found it hard to cope with the news of her family at first, but soon came to accept it as a fact of life and move on. While she never stopped loving her family, she did her best to push the thoughts of them to the back of her mind in order to move on and find happiness.


Anberlin has a passion for travelling the lands of Mereldia, which, while she hasn’t seen much of the land yet, she is eager to see all that the world has to offer. She is curious about the several different cities and factions, as well as the different religious celebrations and festivals. She spends her time collecting objects and souvenirs that she finds interesting along the way. She finds herself drawn to anything that shines and sparkles (possibly due to her being raised around such things) as well as colorful objects and flowers. While Anberlin is attracted to these things, she knows that there are more important things in life aside from objects, and isn't deeply or emotionally attached to much. The only objects she finds to be sentimental are those that are given to her.


Present Day

Today, Anberlin is not easy to find, as she rarely stays in any one place for very long. She can usually be found wherever there is a festival or occasion, as she loves attending events like she once had religiously during her time in Monabur.


Relationships

Anberlin has no current or former relationships or affiliations to speak of.


Random Facts

  • -Anberlin occasionally wears flowers adorning her mane or tail, especially if she is feeling particularly cheerful

  • -Anberlin always wears her cloak when going into any city, and her hood when going into Monabur. Anberlin has no desired to ever be recognized by her family, should they ever cross paths in the city

  • - Anberlin loves stargazing, but is not particularly fond of the dark (there are things that go bump in the night, afterall)

  • - Anberlin was never taught magic, but wants to learn and be able to practice light magic more than anything else. This is a secret desire, that no one knows about her.
