Rank: Vicountess
Occupation: Dance Instructor
Home: Brighthollow Estate, Manthir
Combat Experience: October has been given a bit of combat education when she was younger. She practiced in sword fighting and did competitive archery, which still happens to be a hobby of hers. While she's a master with a bow and arrow her work with a sword leaves a bit to be desired. She's relatively decent in a hand to hand scrap after growing up with two rowdy older siblings but other than a few scuffles she's never been in a real fight before.
Education: Growing up October was given some of the best education in the country. She saw various tutors, instructors, and even briefly visited Taknier when she was in her early teens. October took a particular love for dancing when she was young. With practice she became well versed in any dance she was introduced to. She also took a keen interest in playing the piano. She learned the ins and outs of social interactions and manners for both Manthir and Taknier and became a well loved socialite.
Magic: October is fairly well practiced with her magic and mostly uses it for entertainment purposes. When she dances her skin tells a story, shifting and moving with the beat of the music. Making her appear exotic and intriguing as she moves. This means many of her dancing clothes exposes much of her skin to show the designs that move across her skin.
Personality:
October is a confident, outgoing, and deeply intelligent woman. She's never feared taking up space or speaking her mind. Though she's never been one to start a fight she's been known to end them. When October enters a room she never goes unnoticed with the kind of air to her that draws attention. She's also known for her sass and sarcasm with a playful and laid back attitude. It takes a lot to get under her skin. She's not known for having a violent or explosive temper but once October has been wronged she can be very cold and calculating. Normally she wouldn't waste her time or breath on someone she doesn't like but if a person has truly done something to earn her ire, like done harm to a loved one, she will make it her personal mission to make their life hell.
October is a warm and loving woman. She has strong motherly instincts that make her eager to care for those around her. Especially her sweet husband. She's warm and compassionate with an overwhelming urge to do whatever she can to help people in need. She loves being a teacher and instructing young ladies and gentlemen in the art of dancing. October is an energetic woman who always seems ready to do something whether that's going to a party or assisting in an event. Which often includes her dragging her more homebody husband along with her.
Being someone that so many people lean on for support makes October more private about her own emotions. She's not quick to open up and would rather portray herself as the warm, joyful woman everyone knows and loves. There are few people she feels comfortable enough with to truly let down her guard and show her more emotional side to. October loves learning new things and is always seeking out new knowledge.
History:
October was born the youngest child of a small but well known noble family. Her father Luis was a high ranking General in the military while her mother was a stay at home wife and mother. She had a very happy and loving childhood. She and her siblings had their spats, as any children do, but they never lasted longer than a few days. October became particularly attached to her older brother August. She'd follow him around like a small shadow. Always wanting to do whatever it was he was doing. She started training in sword fighting because of him. while she wasn't terribly wonderful at that August was the one who introduced her to archery. A skill she picked up quickly and easily became amazingly talented with. Out ranking men twice her age by the time she was eleven.
She was the first, and one of the only people, that her brother told about his sexuality. A secret October vowed to take to her grave. She saw nothing wrong or different with her brother just because he happened to like men instead of women. It was through him that she would meet her future husband, his lover, Pearce. Pearce seemed like a good man. He was sweet, kind, warm, if not more than a bit shy. October's young age and enthusiasm seemed a bit much for him often. But she was always happy that her brother found someone who made him so happy. She could see it in the glow of his skin, the sparkle in his eyes, the little skip in his step. When October was eighteen she lost her older brother. Her best friend.
She was distraught. Inconsolable. It felt like she'd left a piece of her heart in that casket with him. The only person who gave any solace to her was Pearce. They turned to each other for comfort without expectation for either of them to be the strong one. During this time of grief the two became very close. Pearce became a very near and dear friend to her and in some ways it was almost like having a piece of her brother back. No matter how small that piece she clung to it. A short few years after her brothers passing the two were married.
October swore to protect Pearce's secret just as she'd sworn to protect her brothers. What better way to do that than to pretend to be this loving, happy couple? Which to a degree that was true. October loves and adores her husband to bits, but not in a romantic sense. And he does make her incredibly happy, but not the way a lover might. Pearce is her best friend and October is more than happy to spend the rest of her days by his side.
