How old are you IRL? 22
What character are you applying for? Feferi Peixes
Why are you interested in this character? Feferi was pretty much my first love in Homestuck, and she's very dear to me. She's one of two characters in the comic I've put a whole ton of thought into and written numerous dorky posts about, HAHA. Portraying her well is very important to me, especially because she is so sorely unloved and misunderstood by the fandom.
What is your personal interpretation of this character? How would you describe their personality? At first glance, Feferi's the kind of person one might see as harmless -- cute, friendly, and cheerful -- but there is a lot more to her than the surface implies. While she has what are generally positive goals, she is strong in her drive for them, and she pushes herself hard, taking every obstacle in stride. She was raised in a situation that demanded the best from her, and the best is what she strives for. Her need to be "perfect", in this sense, and her position in society both make her pretty proud as a person — you can irritate her fast by condescending to or insulting her or her interests. However, if she doesn’t take you or your opinions seriously, she’s prone to laugh it off, instead.
She has a healthy amount of anger and this manifests in the occasional "joking" jab or outburst, but it is usually painted over with cheerfulness and diverted away from. She prefers to be everyone's friend rather than their enemy, because her image is important to her -- unless she thinks someone's negative opinion of her will have no effect on her, in which case, she will happily express negativity, too. More casually, she's fun-loving and open to experimenting with the manner in which she partakes in it, since she is naturally curious, if not a bit naive and occasionally inappropriate as a result. She's a pretty accepting person, and has patience for awkward and abrasive personalities -- as long as they don't push her for too much, that is.
What would be your character’s major or occupation? Feferi is a business major, grooming herself to inherit the family business(es), namely Short Pier Industries. The family is involved with the Amporas due to their related business affairs.
Give a physical description of your character. Pretty tiny height-wise at an even five feet, it's not always difficult to mistake her for younger than her age, especially given her penchant for wearing bright colors. It's compounded, too, by a bright, sweet voice, although if anything gives away her age, it's the veritable length of black waves that is her hair, which she has kept in good condition for many years of growing, and her curves. Her face is all dark eyes and round lips, her nose the slightest curve of the bridge and gently upturned. Of black and Asian parentage, the freckles inherited from her mother smattered over much of her skin would be more obvious were it not for her dark skin. Her body's in good shape, her legs especially thick with muscle from swimming and her hips wider than any other curve on her, though she's got a bit of baby fat on her belly and no lack of softness scattered elsewhere. Anyone close enough would note she's likely to smell like sea salt and citrus, and her person carries no less than three pieces of jewelry at all times.
Give an example post of your character in this AU. This was a serious occasion, and that called for all the proper measures.
Feferi was all but buried in a pile of clothes, searching for that one elusive garment that would make the proper impact. "Adelaide!" she barked, combing the halls for the housekeeper who must know the location of her prized blouse, and once she finally found her in the kitchen, she spared nothing to stress the importance of this piece of clothing.
Once she had finally relocated it with the maid's assistance and assembled her ensemble, all that was left was checking luggage and her appearance otherwise before a limousine carried her to the airport where a private jet awaited.
Portland, the place where her sister now called home. The place where Feferi would finally be striking out to further her mother's business ventures -- her eventual business ventures, too. It was the perfect place for a fresh start. It was only a shame that it wasn't near the ocean...
She was a little tipsy by the time she left the plane, but her grace on heels remained unperturbed (one had to practice these things), and the sky was an ugly shade of grey in Portland today, but that hardly put a damper on her arrival. Ugly weather and all, this was exactly what she had come here for (and turquoise was still fine in dim lighting)! And while she was still in the airport, she decided to bless everyone in her restaurant of choice with coupons for free Short Pier products after speaking to the owner about potentially carrying a new product for them.
Not a parched throat in sight! She truly was the brilliant businesswoman this city had been in need of. Now she just needed to finally see that top-floor apartment that Eridan had promised her was so great...
