Innocent Galasrinion, Yellow to Summer-Sky Healer
Innocent loves to be doing and this is reflected in her appearance. Her nails are short, and often less than perfect, her face sun-kissed. She has full lips, a regal nose (which she hates), and strong chin (fair warning). While her hair always starts the day properly arranged in braids or a bun, it doesn't take long before it is adorned with flowers or leaves. She avoids slippers in favor of soft-soled boots, equally suited to a walk in the forest or working her rounds. Her mouth is wide lipped, sensual and beautifully shaped. Most people don't notice the nose. They see her mouth. Her mother's despair is Innocent's skin. It is far from flawless, covered in freckles and bramble scratches. She has random tan lines, from herb baskets on bare arms, pushed-up sleeves during her walks in the wood, and paying no mind to the shape or fit of her neckline. Innocent, however, finds her nose to be much too large, giving her a gentle disregard for her physical appearance.
Innocent is a happy person by nature, with a profound faith both in Mother Night and the Ebon Wood. She is confident in her skills as a Healer, and in her place in society. Perhaps overconfident, but then she counts amongst her full siblings a Black-Widow, a Warlord-Prince and a Queen. She was also raised with half siblings numbering a Prince and a Healer, and a cousin as Priestess. A different personality might be awkward or jealous, but she simply feels safe. Her family can handle anything!
Innocent's father Polo Galasrinion was a Warlord and her mother Infinity Galasrinion is a Hearth-witch. This means Innocent has had intimate, longterm association with every Caste almost from birth. As such, she has internalized Protocol to the point where it is instinctive. Manners, courtesy and a yielding respect for each Caste come naturally to her.
She has high expectations, looking for the best from people: honor, courage, hard work, and empathy. This expectation has led her to be too trusting, despite her wise mother's best efforts to prepare the entire brood for Court life. Innocent's centered and stable home life have left her remarkably unscarred and with a great internal strength which allows her to support her patients (even the terminal ones).
She loves her family and will stand with them against all comers - she sometimes refers to her family as Nova's Court. Woe betide anyone who tries to hurt or bully her little Queen sister! It is worth noting that she makes no distinction between full sibling, half and cousin. She refers to all as brothers and sisters, and expects the same loyalty in turn. Innocent has especially nurtured (some claim spoiled) Apple, as they are of the same Caste. Her Black-Widow sister Hero however was most in need of Innocent's skills - to patch up her Warlord-Prince twin, Heron. Despite the age difference, the two ladies bonded powerfully over the trials of being close to such a man, and she understands all the subtle ways a Healer can assist a Warlord-Prince. She makes a special effort not to overlook Lynx, the youngest child. His Prince Caste makes him milder mannered and less trouble than the rest of her siblings, so he can sometimes get lost in the mix.
Deeply spiritual by nature, Innocent feels closest to her cousin Journey, and just a touch in awe that one of her own is High Priestess. She loves going to Temples and Dark Alters. She will never willingly miss a spiritual ceremony.
Innocent has made an informal study of philosophy, from which she garners advice and comfort. She is unlikely to ask for help, feeling on some level that as a Healer it is her job to strengthen others, not weaken them by making emotional demands, thus her spiritualism and philosophical studies fill that need. This is part of what had a fatal effect on her ill-advised first love.
