PLAY-BY: Allura, Voltron: Legendary Defender
FULL APPEARANCE: Allura is a tall, stately woman, with a sort of innate regality to her. She is elegant and graceful, her slender figure accentuated by fine dresses when she isn't in her riding leathers. Her dark skin and hair are a striking contrast to the brilliant turquoise of her eyes. Her features are delicate and lovely, although her ears are somewhat too large for the rest of her face.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Allura understands diplomacy, the need to be polite and polished and helpful. Someone needs to stay calm and say all the right things to smooth the waters so things can keep going. And that person is usually her, because she has the self-control it takes to hold her feelings in and the intelligence to come up with something persuasive and vaguely inspiring.
Among friends she trusts, however, her strong will is apparent. Allura believes she knows best how things are to be done and doesn't hesitate to say so. She's not usually the sort for warm displays of affection, instead showing she cares by trying to push her friends and wingmates to be the best people they can be. She is competent and hardworking and smart enough to do her part, but doesn't see much room for humor or goofing off when there are things to be done.
Allura is an idealist at heart, who believes she can make the world a better place and that people need to learn to work and live together if the world is ever going to make any progress. Even if sometimes she seems stern and yielding, she genuinely believes that if she just tries hard enough and does the right things- everything will be okay in the end. She can fix things. She just needs enough time. That said, she is also extremely capable of holding a grudge and her fury at those she thinks have wronged her can be...broad.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
Mother: Allea
Father: Uraon
Cousin: Honevra, Alfor
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Altea Hold, minor hold beholden to Telgar
HISTORY: Allura was born to a minor branch of the ruling family of Altea Hold. She was never expected to inherit or rule. Her place would be to make a strategic marriage or otherwise serve her uncle's children and help them rule Altea. She always wanted to see more of the world and thought she might be an ambassador. Or marry the lord of somewhere exotic and far away- like Ista. She'd miss home, but she also wanted to DO something more exciting than sit around and watch her life pass her by.
She watched her cousins Honerva and Alfor leave for Telgar Weyr. And heard with great surprise that Alfor had Impressed. Honerva never came back and there were rumors that she was now weyrmated to a rider. If it was true and Allura's cousin was gone for good...Allura's father would be the heir. The talks of her future changed their tone. Perhaps it would be best for Allura to marry someone closer to home, to stay, an heir whose eligibility could be counted upon.
While visiting her cousins, Allura was Searched and accepted. She loved her home, but had no wish to ever be a Lady in her own right. As High Reaches currently had a clutch on the sands and Telgar didn't, and part of Allura's ambition was to see more of the world, she requested a transfer. At Terminath's maiden clutch, she Impressed blue Sendaith and the two made it few weyrlinghood with little difficulty.
UPDATES
- Early Fall, 2767- Sendaith, unable to see the Thread to his right, turns that direction... right into a clump of Thread. His face is badly scored, blinding him in his remaining eye; the resultant crash breaks his right foreleg, but that will heal (Permanent).
