Type of childhood: Shelted. She was kept mostly inside because of her Vitiligo (that was still being studies at the time), was constantly visited by doctors. Tutored at home with the best education money could by, she would only go out in cloudly days or at night... It was a bit lonely, but not different from other upper-class children her age.

Education: High-Level Education, as it was expected of a noblewoman. She studies languages, arts, sciences, astronomy, physics, politics and militarism.

Relationship with him: They adore each other! Carlos see Sol as his little girl, and Sol looks up to her father as an Assassin and as a noble! 🤲🏽
Siblings: Serena Hélène Josefina Cotoner-Artois (Younger Sister)
Relationship with her: Incredibly good, all things considered. They annoy each other, tease each and everything, but they got each other's back at anytime and wouldn't hesitate to kill to protect one another. In the end, they're sisters and love each other deeply. 🤲🏽🩵
Other important family members: Leopoldo di Sanseverino, Signore di Monterforte Irpino (Serena's Fiancé). They also get along well, despite Sol not approving their decision to delay their courtship more than the usual to "keep getting to know each other before marrying". xD

Form of entertainment: Read books on her underwear while eating a tart in her guest room, horse ride, stroll in the nature, observe the birds, collect fossils and gemstones.
Mode of transportation: Her Andalusian Mare called "Coronilla", she loves riding her across the streets of Tortosa. In London, she also preffers to horse ride than use a carriege, using one of her aunt's horses for so: "Idunn", a Friesian Mare.
(tho she drives a carriege much better than the twins-)
Most prized possession: The lower jaw of a Spinosaurid Dinosaur she found once in her family's terrain while she digged the garden. It was her first fossil and she found when she was around 8 years old... She keeps it in her collection and would literally kill if someone touch it. xD
Hobbies: Collect Fossils and Gemstones, Dance, Write Poems/ Thoughts in her notebook, Scrapbooking, Horse Ride, Aim Train, Physical/ Combat Training, Read, Embrodery, Study/Note about weird species/phenomena.
Plays a musical instrument? Piano! She's very skilled on the Piano and on Cello (Influence by her mother, Aimée, that insisted she would indulge a bit in the arts)
Plays a sport? Parkour, Running, Swimming, Hiking and Badminton (with her aunt).
Drinks: Mostly Wine (Red and Rosy Wines) and Rum. (Specially Porto Rican Rum, that is more refined in taste.)
What does she do too much of? Spend time putting on make-up to hide her Sploches.
What does she do too little of? Dancing. She loves to dance, but gets self-conscious about a partner potentially judging her and her appearance while they dance so close. 🥲
Extremely skilled at: Analysing Situations and Combat.
Extremely unskilled at: Cleaning. She has no idea how to clean a place. (In the sense of getting a broom and using it, not in the sense of keeping it organized) 😭
Nervous tics: Tends to shift her eyes whenever she feels nervous towards the wall by her side, also drums her fingers on her fan while holding it.
Usual body posture: Straight, tall and well-postured, with her hands on her sides or on front of her skirt, held one over the other.
Mannerisms: Tends to sit down with both legs together and her hands on her knees, tilts her head slightly when confused, like a bird. Will whistle while concentrated and hum a song sometimes. Will nuzze against Jacob's neck, brushing her nose against him like a bird. khkhjjkk
Peculiarities: Her nails grow surpriseling fast, so she always has to trim them. Will switch between Spanish and English when too excited, will occasionally curse while dressed as an Assasin bc Assassin Sol is very different than noble/common Sol. Lol
Optimist or pessimist? Optimist, although tries to keep a realistic view on things.
Introvert or extrovert? Introverted going to ambivert. (Jacob is slowly getting her to loose a bit)😭
Daredevil or cautious? Cautious, 100%, as many Assassins.
Logical or emotional? A mixture of both, she can be very logical but also very emotional, it depends on the situation... But generally, she tried to be as logical as possible. 🥲
Disorderly and messy or methodical and neat? Methodical and neat, she doesn't STAND a messy place. XD
Prefers working or relaxing? Working first, relaxing later. She's of the philosophy that the job must be well-done so the relaxation can be worth it. 🫶🏽☀️
Confident or unsure of herself? As an Assassin? Confident AF she knows she can deliver. As a noblewoman? Not so much... 🥲
How he/she feels about himself/herself: Mixted feelings, many mixted feelings... Overall, she pushes herself to be the best Assassin she can be, so at least she can feel proud about one of her aspects.
One word the character would use to describe self: "Defective".
One paragraph description of how the character would describe self: "A sick woman... An Assassin that will fight until my very last breath."
What does the character consider her best personality trait? "My loyalty to the Creed."
What does the character consider her worst personality trait? "My insecurities about my skin."
What does the character consider her best physical characteristic? Her eyes, everyone compliments them and their light yellow hue under the sunlight.
What does the character consider her worst physical characteristic? Her white sploches, they just "look so wrong and ugly..."
How does the character think others perceive him/her: As a sick woman unfit to give healthy heirs to a household without the "thing" on her skin. As an Assassin and as the Greatgreatgreatgreat-Granddaughter of Raimon Vicente Cotoner, they expect her to be as expectional as her ancestor.
What would the character most like to change about himself/herself: Definetly get rid of her condition to look "normal", she sometimes wished she could be "frail" and "fair-skinned" like the other noblegirls that were the beauty standarts of the era... Because her more athletic build, darker complexion and skin condition, she feels ugly compared to the beauty standarts. 🥲
A bit of an info dump about my dear Solange asked by my friend @navis18 , thank you so much, girl! 🥹🤲🏽💛
I'm working on a more complete ref sheet for her, but so far, this is the more detail I get can get with my dear Spanish Assassin. ☀️💛
