Character Number: 2nd

Name: Joelle Bhara (Joe-el Bar-uh)

Age: 24, Winter 3275

Gender: Female, Feminine or gender neutral pronouns

Sex: Female

Sexuality: Greysexual, Panromantic

Appearance: There is nothing really remarkable about Joelle, she's not fiercely attractive nor is she a sore sight on the eyes. Its not unusual for her to get the 'have we met before' or 'you look like someone I know' comments when meeting people for the first time. She's got "one of those faces", she supposes. Joelle has an oval shaped face that is framed with wavy, dark brown hair that looks quite like a mane when not tamed. She generally keeps it trimmed to an inch or two past her shoulder, believing that that length was perfect for either keeping it down or tying it up. Her eyes practically match her hair, though they seem to be a tad bit lighter, bringing up images of rich, sun warmed soil. Joelle's eyes are framed by arched brows that are a little on the thick side, and when she smiles its easy to notice the laugh lines around their corners. While she may have a serious case of resting bitch face she actually smiles and laughs quite a lot, so first impressions are almost always different from what people were expecting.

Joelle stands at around five feet eight inches without shoes. She's not neck breakingly tall though she does have a few inches over the average. Most of her height comes from a long torso and long legs that are not naturally thin in appearance. Joelle has, to put it simply, child baring hips. Her waist is smaller than her hips and her chest is modestly sized, giving her a faint hourglass shape. She's also pretty average when it comes to weight as well, not being trim nor being relatively large either. She's pretty, at least she thinks so... or rather, all that's important is that she does.

Joelle dresses to suit her tastes. Trousers, breeches, and pants make up the majority of her wardrobe. They're easier to move around in and are much more convenient to have around. Most of the time she's on the move anyway, so anything that's less than practical for running around would only hamper her. However, that being said she does occasionally enjoy skirts and dresses. Preferably during the hotter months of the year, or if she has promised to join friends for a drink out in one of the near by establishments. She also remains relatively jewelry free when it comes to necklaces and bracelets, though she has two silver rings that can always be found on her person. One on her left thumb and the other on the ring finger of her right hand. She also has two sets of earrings on each ear. She rarely changes any of her jewelry, but often takes them off when the situation calls for it.

Personality: Welcoming ★ Salty ★ Empathetic ★ Bright ★ Devious ★ Sneaky ★ Protective ★ Driven ★ Leader ★ Funny ★ Curious ★ Anxious ★ Ambivert

Joelle is kind of a mess, though in a good way most people seem to agree. There is a lot about her that seems to contradict itself. To the world she is a broadminded, welcoming individual who doesn't have a death grip on biases. While that isn't wrong, she's not entirely accepting either. Its not hard for her to bunker down into a group of people and come away with new friends or, at the very least, new information. She's friendly, open, and bright. Joelle seems to act in accordance with the feelings and moods of the people she's with, finding it naturally easy to pick up on the emotions and physical cues of other people. However, despite the fact she seems like she could be a social butterfly, Joelle is actually an ambivert. She can be extremely social, though there are almost an equal amount of times where she can't bring herself to face a large group of people without becoming extraordinarily exhausted. Putting on her normal chipper, happy act is all but impossible when she's like this.

Another contradiction is that Joelle is passionately driven and is ambitious, however, she's also a naturally lazy person. It stems from having just enough natural intelligence to never need to actually sit down and study something, also, it may come from growing up relatively well off, never having to exactly sell her soul for something. If its something she wants, Joelle will throw herself at it with the force of a storm, she will cling onto her goal until she's completely beaten down or she achieves what she's aimed for, even if it will take years. If its not something she's passionate about, she halfway expects it to resolve itself without her really needing to do anything. Her driven side, when it shines through, makes her a really good leader. She will keep her team or partner on task until the very end with positive reinforcement [and snacks if the situation calls for it].

The tendency to cling to things also speaks of a possessiveness that is hidden below the surface. While she's not generally possessive over things or lovers, she does sink her claws deep into those she considers the best of friends or those she works closely with. If anything goes wrong in their lives, Joelle tries to be there to help fix whatever is wrong. She's protective of the people in her life and is regarded as a rather good listener when it comes to problems. Though she offers advice, it comes from a mildly selfish place of wanting to be the reason that the other person got better. Endlessly curious, its hard to pry her away from something new or fascinating. This is what drove her to become a Historian. Mysteries and uncovering new information can get so immersive that she will loose herself in her research, often hours can go by without her realizing it.

All said an done, Joelle is truly an anxious person. Its difficult for her to deal with rejection, and her biggest fears are letting people down who have placed their trust in who she is and what she can do. She's also not the most confident person out there, even though people might otherwise be deceived. She's generally a gentle soul too, and would rather be hurt than hurt other people. Yet, she would rather hurt another person than allow a friend to suffer. Her empathetic self is a weakness she tries to hide as she can easily be manipulated by taking control of the people who are important to her.

Her sense of humor is unique and often thought of as dry. What is most common to see is sarcasm and obviousness used as the focal point of her humor. Much of the time she comes off as being very salty and jaded. And well, you wouldn't be entirely wrong.

Rank: Sekkai Dragon Candidate, Historian & Teacher

History: 3275

Joelle was born on a chilly winter's night in 3275, well past when decent people should be asleep. Her father [Rahyr] worked for Nyushian government and took contracts from the military under recommendation from his employers. What he actually did for them was a mystery, and still is, as Joelle was forever told she wasn't allowed to know. All she ever knew was that he was a scientist and really good at maths. Her mother on the other hand worked a much simpler occupation. Awnda sold and arranged flowers to whomever could pay and even sometimes to those who could not. Regardless the two were happy to receive a second daughter, for they had had one already. She was older by quite a few years, however it didn't bother the young girl that Joelle had come into the picture.

Lihn was their home. Rahyr's profession required him to remain in the capital for work, and to be honest, it was the safest place they could be save for living at the Academy. Even with the war going on, neither of Joelle's parents thought that the war would reach the heart of their territory. She was three when those thoughts were shattered and the Legion ripped its way through Nyushi to savagely defeat the Sekkai Dragons in battle. Her family was some of the many people to be trapped in the city as the Tainted took control. The next two or so years were terrible. Honestly Joelle can't remember most of what happened, though she painfully remembers being not allowed to leave their home, about having to be quiet and not draw any more attention from the Legion's soldiers as possible. There wasn't much time to do anything any more and her father was almost never home too. Her mother didn't sell flowers and worked doing something else that always made her tired. They also didn't eat the same things any more, though what exactly they ate was a misty memory to her now.

Never had she seen her parents more relieved as to hear that Sekkai forces had reclaimed Lihn and a good portion of Nyushi back from the Legion. For a moment the weariness dropped from their faces and the stress fled from their shoulders, it looked as if they were young again., not the old people she'd seen them as before. As the years dragged on Joelle became aware of one truth: war sucked. It sucked really bad. Even to a girl as young as she, she could slowly recognize the effects the war had on everyone she met. The war waged back and forth as one side triumphed over the other again and again, the emotions of the Sekkai people felt as if they were a turbulent sea. When the war was in their favor everything went fine, however when it went in the direction of the Legion, it was as if every little misfortune someone had could be blamed on the on coming Taint.

By the time Erebus was defeated in battle, Joelle had turned fourteen and was already on the path to becoming a historian. Not perhaps the most prestigious job, but someone had to do it, and Joelle was more than willing to hop on it. Most of what she did was assistant work for a handful of Masters, though they were mostly focused on helping the government as they were still at war with the Tainted. There wasn't much actual research going on.

She worked like this for a few years without a specific direction she wanted to go, instead working toward becoming a teacher to fill her belly in the meantime. However that changed when she was seventeen and Nidhogg was captured and sealed. It wasn't the Tainted Commander himself that suddenly sparked Joelle's interest, but rather the sudden intrusion of the Qih-nzak. Most of what she'd been even remotely interested in was the land's ancient history, closer to the time of The First Rider. So to have the Qih-nzak appear, who had only ever been mentioned in stories and perhaps a few times in old, faded texts it was like a punch to the face. And honestly that's how she'd describe it. There were so many questions that flooded her mind. She decided there to try and understand the reasons why they disappeared and where they'd been for so long. Later she'd broaden her research into a more generalized study, but it was the Qih-nzak that set her on her path.

Now, at the age of twenty-four Joelle resides full time at the academy as a historian attached to the archives. She also teaches in one of the schools set aside for the children who have military parents stationed at the Academy. She primarily teaches general Sekkian history but also teaches a more advanced course for older students on cultural inter-connectivity between the different regions. Recently at the urging of a colleague, she has enrolled as a candidate for the Dragon Riders. She's not too great with the fighting thing, but her hope is to become a Scholar rather than join a Wing.
