APPEARANCEEYES: Hazel
HAIR: Dark brown and long
HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5' 9", hourglass frame
PLAY-BY: Idina Menzel
FULL APPEARANCE:Malenkiy has a lot of very stereotypical feminine features, but she was able to pass herself off as girlish for a longer than most women, mostly through a carefully cultivated image. Now that she's out of her twenties, though, she's beginning to embrace a more mature look. She tends to wear heavy eyeliner to make her eyes pop. She used to keep her hair cut shorter, but she's been letting it grow out more in recent years, and the length has softened the curls somewhat. She has a very square face, hazel eyes, and a full lower lip. She has pale skin that tans easily.
Malenkiy has a very stereotypically beautiful hourglass frame that she is not afraid to lean into. Most of her wardrobe in her youth consisted of pink, but she is beginning to branch out into other colors. Still, she has not entirely replaced her wardrobe yet, so pink is still the most common color to see her in. She has excellent posture, a melodious and expressive voice, and exudes confidence from her very pores.
PERSONALITYPERSONALITY:Malenkiy has a massive chip on her shoulder, one that developed in childhood and that she has never grown out of. She resents that in her childhood, her parents didn't see her for her brain and her potential and instead as someone to marry off to give them a leg up in society. She was treated more as an object than as a person, and tends to assume that that's all anyone ever sees when they look at her. Perhaps ironically, the way she copes with this is by playing into that assumption as much as possible, although it is always to get the person to underestimate her so she can get the upper hand, whether physically or by learning something she can use against them later.
For a long time, she was able to capitalize on her youthful appearance, but she's getting to an age where that's not believable anymore and is finding she has to change tack. She is beginning to experiment with molding herself more into a object of desire rather than condescension, and after a rough early patch, she's beginning to get the hang of it, although sex is not something she's terribly interested in outside of what it can get for her. She is a remarkably good actress, to the point where she can even cry on command, with actual tears. Her main downfall, though, is that she thinks she's smarter than she is, and that nobody else around her is smart enough to see through her acts. She doesn't really know how to respond to people calling her out on her shards, since she never expects anyone to be able to.
Malenkiy is ambitious, craving power and the validation she never got from her parents. She is full of her own self-importance, believing herself to be luckier than most people and thus invincible to a certain degree. She is not a warm person,

- Janet (DEBS) - bimbo candidate

Tale as old as time, older apprentice working on journeyman status, falls in love has a gay best friend a little in love with him and a pechant for mind games, they're a hell of a duo until one day his (straight) fiancee sleeps with his best friend & Helen tells him it happened right before he has a major assessment in front of his masters that will allow him to move onto his journeyman knots. He has a breakdown onstage, forgets the words/melody of the song, jumps off the stage and runs out the door, hooks up with the first caravan he sees & gets as far away as he can. Searchrider tells him he's got aptitude, he actually impresses, & he never sings again :) (he does like fostering other people's love of singing & will encourage/help other dragonriders who want to pursue the craft, tho)
Has a pudgy fussy flit he's named after his best friend and talks to it like it's actually him. Has a slightly worrying habit of gesturing with his belt knife when he talks & fussing with it when he's not, but it's just something to have in his hands he really doesn't think about it. - Blooded charater --> mix of two Sabrina Grdevich's characters - Claire Donner (Slings & Arrows) and Florence (Slasher season 4: Flesh & Blood)
- The quest for camelot crew (kayley & Garrett specifically, & would wanna go tie-in on this one tho)

- Bullet Train: Tangerine (curly-haired white guy, Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Lemon (Brian Tyree Henry), Little Prince (young-ish woman w short dark hair, Joey King), grandfather (dignified older man, Hiroyuki Sanada), Hornet (Zazie Beetz), White Death (Michael Shannon)
Ody ala The Return
- Can use a trait to give him a bow that's very hard to string

- anyway, I'm thinking weyrfolk
