FULL NAME: 
Laurella Roseguildia Helioscourt 
 
 
FULL TITLE: 
Her Imperiale Majeste, Empress Laurella Rosenguildia Clarislighta Helioscourt VII of Apollosolaria. 
 
NICKNAME(S): 
Rells, Dolly, Bell, Little Miss, The Blood-Red Empress (By her foes, thanks to her fighting style.) 
 
AGE: 
200,003 years old. (Appears as a human female in her mid 20's) 
 
BIRTHDAY: 
February 25th 
 
SIGN: 
Pisces the Fishes (Human Astrology) 
 
NATIVE SIGN: 
Chrystyovel, the Orb of Fortune (Apollosolarian Astrology) 
 
 
GENDER: 
Laurella is female in appearance and function, but she can use her power to gender-bend at will into many different genders. She doesn't do it very often, as she enjoys her natural female look. 
 
RACE: 
Heliollonite. A Heliollonite is a particular race of an Angelic-Fae/Witch Humanoid. Much intermingling and cross breeding of certain species over countless years resulted in the unique Heliollonite race. They take on stark, flat monotone skin tones which looks like painted glass with no color dimension. They all appear to be a flat single color, save for their cheeks and lips, thus earning them the nickname ''The painted people''. 
 
Each gender has bright pink cheek patches and red or wine colored lips. Some of the ultra masculine men wear concealer to hide this lip color and their pink cheeks. Their skin tones are of the neutral variety and range from coal black, stormy gray and snow white. Every member of this race possesses white to ivory hair. The eyes are cool colored, ranging from different hues of violet, blue and green. The most common eye color is violet. Compared to other races out there, they are quite short in comparison with female and male average height being 5''9. 
 
Heliollonites are very hardy creatures, but their true form is very delicate, clear blown glass. They turn into this delicate glass once every century at the rising of the new century's sun and stay frozen in place until the sun goes down. Their enemies have caught onto this and the race relies on their political allies to keep them from invading. In turn, the Heliollonites help their allies in their own unique times of crippling weakness. Even pandering to their vanity and granting them longer lives, treasures and beauty. 
 
HEIGHT: 
152 cm. 
 
WEIGHT: 
7 1/2 stone 
 
BODY TYPE: 
Very petite, yet has a prominent bell-shaped waist-to-hip ratio. She leans more towards the busty side. She has very small feet but larger hands. 
 
FACIAL FEATURES: 
Face is round with puffy pink cheeks. Her eyes are usually in a very relaxed and almost lazy half-closed state and are rarely wide open. Her lips are small, red and pursed but not thin. Her nose is very sharp and pointy, yet small. 
 
COMPLEXION: 
Snow white 
 
EYES: 
Deep crystal blue 
 
HAIR: 
Bright ivory white hair that is naturally loose-tight curled, plush-looking and falls to her calves, though it's usually styled in some way.... usually a large single bun atop her head. with the rest of her hair hanging down., 
 
ALIGNMENT: 
Lawful and morally good. She'll sometimes go to chaotic good in order to get out of a pickle. 
 
PERSONALITY: 
Laurella is virtuous, gentle, and generally, very kind in nature. She tends to think with her heart rather than the cold logic in front of her, though she will come to her senses later on. She is extremely intuitive and tends to go with her 'gut feelings'. Nonetheless, in a world where magic reigns supreme and logic is often turned on it's head, this is a very reasonable outlook. At her core, she recognizes, she must rule with her head rather than her heart, though she'd like to believe she's found a 'happy medium'. 
 
The empresses' head is nearly constantly in the clouds and she daydreams often, despite the fact she is actually very intelligent. For someone who loves daydreaming, she is incredibly quick witted, can calculate strategy in seconds and is fast to action when the time calls for it. When in battle or war, she tends to go to her 'happy place', while everyone else sees a vicious, yet petite blood-coated fighting machine with a 1000-yard stare. This leaves some to think her fluffy, bejeweled exterior is just a cover for something that is much more sinister. She is also a bit of a snoop and loves investigating things. This side of her stems from her early years of her trying to find her parents. Though she was unsuccessful, she has uncovered many things along the way. 
 
Laurella is extremely mellow-tempered and is not prone to anger and it can take months for her to even begin to respond angrily to ill treatment to her or others. Some call her apathetic, but she'd rather stay in a constant state of mellow emotions and feeling. She doesn't like feeling too extreme with any emotion. When slightly peeved or annoyed, she can become snappy and sassy and can bring out a sarcastic side of her. This side of hers however, only shows when the offending party deserves it. Laurella tends to be a mirror to other people's mannerisms towards her. Though she normally treats others the way they wish to be treated, she will return the favors brought upon her, good or bad. 
 
The empress seems very straight-laced and somewhat bland to others and appears not the one to try and ruffle feathers or take too much of a risk. However, she is not entirely 'innocent', as she may come across. She possesses a bit of a 'boyish' sense of humor and can have fun and can break the rules at times. Underneath her blinding regalia and stiff royal mannerisms, there lies a bit of a 'goofball' streak to her and she is fond of comedy and harmless pranks. 
 
Laurella never truly wanted to be empress, for deep down she is not exactly leader material. She was forced to become one, due to her birth and sudden, unfortunate circumstances. She relies on a backing of those most close to her and her royal counsel cheering her onward, because by herself she can clam up due to her introverted nature. She has learned to muster courage and at least pretend to be as imperial as she could. She would very much rather be painting pictures and participating and hosting in royal runway than being Empress. Laurella is extremely aloof and standoffish from people in general. Some go so far to say she is a misanthrope, but she is just more to herself. In a way, she is secretive and mysterious to outsiders. 
She is selfless and very sympathetic to the point where others have tried taking advantage of her nature. She is reserved, a littlestandoffish, and not apt for starting conversations. Nonetheless, she has gotten better with being more outgoing since visiting lands outside of her imperial circle and court. 
She has been through a lot, especially through the incident of her parents going missing long ago. Behind her caring, soft eyes, she has been through some incidents, been through pain and seen things that would drive normal people insane. Despite that, because of her position, she has to simply put her head down, hold it high at the same time and ''drive on'' for her people. 
 
Though Laurella comes from a very ancient, staggeringly wealthy and powerful lineage, she is very humble, empathetic and generous to all. She still feels awkward when people bow to her or call her by anything but by her first name. In turn, she returns their cordial gestures all the same. 
 
ORIENTATION: 
Laurella has the potential to love and be slightly romantic with all genders and gender identities, but is not too sexually interested in them. Her truest love seems to be fashion, art and design. Some people have mistaken her kindness as flirting and she is also terribly dense when it comes to someone making advances towards her. She has been known to blush over and fawn after very well dressed, pretty and feminine ladies. (And sometimes men.), but most whom know her know to take it with a grain of salt. All Heliollonites can reproduce with each other, no matter the gender. They all possess mostly the same chromosomes, except under the microscope, a few of the males' are much more 'opaque' than the females'. This is what determines a male from a female for them. They all possess 'about' the same kinds of chromosomes, and even nearly identical sex cells, yet each parent, even those of the same gender, still has a 50/50 chance of creating a male or female baby. Other races are somewhat mystified by this chromosome phenomenon and have tried to 'mutate' said chromosomes for their own use. It doesn't seem to matter to the Heliollonites because some use their magic to change into their preferred gender anyhow. Whispers within the court say that the reason why Laurella has not provided an heir yet is because she cannot 'perform' correctly. Hellionites are known for being prudish and HUGE romantic and erotic teases for the most part, but even they understand that a royal's main goal in life is to produce an heir. In the meantime, Laurella is much more concerned of defending her country and planet and has no interest in being barefoot and pregnant just yet. 
 
FAVORITE COLORS: 
Red and gold 
 
FAVORITE FOODS: 
Mushroom, carrot, potato and celery chowder with heavy seasonings. (Vegetarian) and Lemon Meringue Pie 
 
 
LEAST FAVORITE FOOD: Green Olives 
 
FAVORITE MUSIC: 
Though she is very fond of her homeland's native ''angelic' music, she is actually a big fan of the newest hits on the modern human radio, much to her advisor's chagrin. She loves dubstep, 1980's rock, pop and jazz. She likes club remixes and likes the modern hip-hop dances compared to the traditional ballroom waltzes she has been trained in. She likes to get lost in her own little world with music and wears fancy golden headsets to block out boring news and delegations. 
 
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: : 
 
NATIONALITY: 
Apollosolarian. 
 
 
MAIN ATTIRE: 
As a fashionista at heart, there are few things the Empress loves doing more than dressing up in as many fashions as she can design and wear. In her culture, no matter one's class or station, the flashier and more detailed, the better. Sometimes, there is no such thing as 'too much'. Usually, whilst visiting the Gaia Lands, Laurella wears a shining, glittering white pleated full-skirt gown with gold trimmings and accents. Her ivory hair is let down and it set in golden laurels and a gold and ruby crown. She wears gold and ruby accessories with gold, diamond and white lace undergarments and with lace stockings with a matching large neck-ruff. On her hands, she wears white satin gloves with a ruby ring and on her feet, she wears petite sparkling golden slippers. She wears a golden rose brooch above her chest which can double as a music box to a projectile weapon. For her makeup, she wears light diamond white shimmer face powder and golden eye shadow. 
 
 
However, while in her homeland of Apollsolaria, her official and usual attire consists of a stunning and sequinned ruby-red silk and satin dress with very puffy sleeves with revealing shoulders. This dress reveals more cleavage and she wears no gloves, instead sporting a feminine carmine-red manicure with a silver and sapphire ring. Her hair is also put up and put up in laurels of silver. Her dress sports aqua and silver trimmings with sterling, pearl and aquamarine accessories with a tropical flair. She wears her mother's ancient imperial silver, gold and aqua crown though she sometimes wears her own, which looks similar, but smaller. She wears red lacy undergarments embedded with rubies. It is complete with sparkling golden stockings and silver pumps. As always, she wears her trusty golden rose brooch pin. For her makeup, she wears diamond white face powder, silver eye paint and occasionally paints her top lip with golden lip paint. 
Her lack of gloves, lighter dress materials, revealing shoulders and put up hair is a cue to the warmer climates of her native tropical regions. 
 
HOUSE: 
Helioscourt 
 
HOMEWORLD: 
Faucetition-2 (The Diamond Planet) 
 
COUNTRY OF REIGN: 
 
Apollosolaira. An empire that originally took up an entire continent of the Diamond Planet before the empire eventually engulfed all corners of the globe all together. The continent is known as Ausaurgyel, but it was just called Apollosolaria by nearly everyone on the planet. Now that the entire planet is basically an empire, along with some other galactic territories... anything under the empire's control is jut called Apollosolaria. The Ausaurgyel continent is large, but is also surrounded by the largest ocean on the planet, the Aquais Ocean. The continent is sort of isolated from the rest because it has it's own isolated face on the planet. The continent itself is bombarded with huge lakes and seas, making it a lush tropical place all around. Glowgorgeoushire, the capital of Apollosolaria, where Laurella resides is stationed by the Aquamarine Sea. It is the largest sea and port in the world, a whole city within a city built near it. It is full of beautiful marine life and coral reefs, helping the capital with its economy and tourism. The Ausaurgyel continent is surrounded by thousands of tiny, medium and a few large scale islands. Though many of the islands are inhabited predominately by farmers, a few of the islands are ideal for the the imprisoned. 
 
 
RESIDENCE: 
 
Glowgorgeoushire Palace. It is a towering and sprawling structure made of pure polished varying-yellow golds, sunstone, diamond, citrine and yellow topaz. The palace took may thousands of years to complete and was partially destroyed three times in history due to war. Because of it's harsh history, there are many buried and hidden rooms not entered for many thousands of years. Many people got buried within these rooms and places and were presumed gone or killed. Since they are immortal, they remain there undetected in the pitch, tomb-silent blackness of the dark........ waiting. But they are NOT the people they were long ago. And if Laurella knew what lied beneath her, she'd leave at once without even packing. 
 
 
FAVORITE PLACE: 
 
She likes visiting the lands of Gaia from time to time. She is also fond of Diamond Sand Beach by her castle that looks out to the surrounding royal city. 
 
 
TATTOOS: 
 
Has a cluster of yellow roses in a ''secret place''. 
 
 
PIERCINGS: 
 
Two ears pierced. She got her nose pierced once as a child when rebelling against her advisor, but it has since closed up. 
 
SCARS/MARKS: Has a little strait scar on her neck from where she was almost decapitated by bloodthirsty assassins as a baby in her crib, though she doesn't remember it. She hides this scar with necklaces and ribbons, preferably a choker. 
 
 
STYLE OF CLOTHING: Overwhelming influence from Angelic-Medieval/Elizabethan and with a bit of French and Victorian flair. Most garments are bold in color and she rarely wears just all white as many of her imperial cohorts do. 
 
 
FREQUENTLY WORN ACCESSORIES: Her yellow rose pin/brooch. It's an enchanted rose with eternal life and glowing dewdrops always on it. Her parents gave it to her before they disappeared during her 1,000th birthday party. 
 
 
SPEECH TONE: Is quiet like a crystal bell, but can become loud like a banging cathedral bell if need be. Though it is high and soft, it is never, ever shrill. 
 
SPEECH PITCH: Sing-songy soprano normally and while shouting can get two octaves lower. 
 
 
SPEECH TYPE: Extremely proper and is the speech used within her inner circle of the royal family and the court. 
 
 
NATIVE LANGUAGE: Northern Apolloson 
 
 
DIALECT/ACCENT: Laurella's native manner of speaking has French, German, Russian, British and Elizabethan medieval sounds and sentence structures. From other Apolloson language observers, the tongue also sounds slightly akin to Nigerian and Japanese. She speaks ''The Imperial's Apolloson'', which is exclusive within the court. She has picked up on the language of 'the common people' and speaks slang and sometimes slacks on her proper language in favor of being understood. She has a natural thick accent, so even when she is speaking English, she can be hard to understand. Nonetheless, this accent can be turned on and off at will thanks to speech lessons, though she is not perfect and sometimes slips back to her thick accent. 
 
 
WALK PATTERN: Walks as light as a bubble with short steps as her bell skirt bounces slightly. Sometimes she alternates at random and uses her magic to float. She walks with her hands folded down and lightly clasped in front of her. Her high heels are forever clacking and echoing wherever she goes. The scuttling of Duke behind her is almost guaranteed. 
 
COMMON GESTURES: Tends to put her left hand on her cheek with the pinkie out a lot. 
 
 
HOBBIES: Painting, designing dresses, sewing, loom-work, singing, reading, learning new languages, and magical chemistry. 
 
 
OCCUPATION: Empress of Apollosolaria, Protector of the planet. (and others on a smaller scale) She owns an imperial art gallery inside of an older residence, Solianite Castle. It is called Imperiale Incre (E)Imporium and is run by four of her closer friends named Holly, Emeralda, Maxis and Jo. 
 
 
ABILITIES: The default Heliollonites powers are flight, epic durability, shape-shifting, possession, telekinisis and super-strength. Magical powers are not a rule for Heliollonites , but over 58% of them possess the gift of magic and is more prominent in some bloodlines than others. Helionites with purple eyes are more apt to possessing the most powerful and potent magic whilst green-eyed individuals tend to have weaker magic or none at all. Each Heliollonite can ''learn'' magic, but it is a skill best left to the 'naturally gifted'. 
 
As a result, it is 'eye color' that seems to have a bit of an 'under-toned' class system in society and many 'purple eyes' tend to not 'breed' with the 'blues and greens'. Purple eyes are also the most 'dominate' trait that will completely overtake blue eyes and green eyes though sometimes there will be the rare 'brown eyes' from the result of a green eyed and purple-eyed parent. Brown eyes are seen as 'chic' and 'fashionable' in the society, because the color brown is actually a very hard color to come by in their nature. But are often a little 'pitied' because brown-eyed Helionnites have very strong and unique, yet 'muddled' magic and can become liabilities. Their children will also have the standard green or purple eye color, but they will more than likely have no magical powers. 
 
Many of their enemies in the past falsely ''concluded” that the Heliollonite's magic was in their eyes, but after gouging out enough of captured or imprisoned Heliollonite eyes, they found that this wasn't the case. 
 
The rest of the non-magical Heliollonites get by with their default powers, though there can be rise to some 'bitterness' among the non-magical. 
 
Laurella has countless royal magical book heirlooms, amulets, gauntlets, and scepters at her disposal to chant and cast spells in battle. She can summon the spirits of her long-gone ancestors whom have gone to another far-realm of being. Laurella, like her father, seems to have a talent of warping reality in a way of making even the most threatening of things into something harmless and full of whimsy. This ability is not as refined as her father's though she usually gets by with it. Laurella is an immensely powerful magical being who's powers had to develop quickly in order to defend her empire from invasion and her enemies once her parents disappeared. 
 
In her imperial culture, the reigning ruler must go and fight head to head against any foe that is a threat to the well being of the empire. If an army is involved, the current regent ruler is expected to lead the front lines, whether on land, sea or space. Emperors and empresses who refused this in the past were replaced very quickly. Laurella in her starting reign was seen as a sitting, defenseless duck and had to learn to be strong very quickly. Laurella's family tree are descendants of very powerful beings from another dimension and years of ''selective breeding'' and 'refinement' has ensured her powers and the select peoples for the imperial army can defend her empire and planet. It is her power alone that keeps her home-world from becoming sucked into orbit of much bigger gaseous planets and keeps the planet's tides and sea levels and diamond ice caps in check. If Laurella is off of the planet for too long, things start to get bad very quickly. So Laurella, and all of the decedents after her in a way is mostly bound to her planet. 
 
 
WEAPONS: Chained weapons and blades/sickles. Though she is usually loaded with secret chain weapons, her prized weapon is a 50 foot long, heavy chain whip with a large golden, diamond-tipped sickle on its end. Laurella wears this across her shoulder in combat, though she can conjure it at anytime. The chain link can get smaller or larger depending on the size of her opponent. 
 
 
FIGHTING STYLE: Though she is extremely light on her feet and gentle in her actions, even while fighting, her main aim is tearing into and literally ripping her enemies into a bloody pulp. When in hand to hand combat, she aims for the internal organs of her opponents. She sometimes resorts to ripping said organs out. It looks like she is not doing much work, but there is usually a lot of blood involved. This is why she is not fond of fighting in white in battle. She is also very apologetic and courteous before, during and after fights, still keeping her good manners and respecting her enemy's corpse. Her culture is beautiful, but her culture has developed a brutal fighting style to preserve their beauty from invading planets and rouge demonics. 
 
 
SIGNATURE MOVE: Laurella 'finishes' with golden mini-chains with razor clamps to come from five angles, clamping into her enemies' head and limbs. Once the chains tug, her enemies are torn five ways. Another more used move is thrashing her sickle through the torso of her enemy and tearing it back out, snapping their spine inward and into two. 
She seems to fight in a prissy-sissy, way, especially slapping, but her prissy slaps can send full grown giants and demons through stone walls. 
 
 
SKILLS: She is extremely skilled in handling her chain weapons, and normally doesn't go wrong when using them. She also has a good enough memory bank for spells, though she can forget and muddle the words because the words are very archaic. 90 
 
 
STRENGTHS: Laurella is extremely strong willed and never gives up, even when everything has been killed and or taken from her. She is not easy to brainwash or convince if she knows deep down it is wrong. She also has very high endurance. 
 
 
WEAKNESSES: She is tough as solid metal, but her true form is glass and if she turns to crystal glass unexpectedly, she can be shattered into a billion pieces. The pieces take all day to reform. If these pieces are burned, she might never return again. She is also quite venerable to freezing powers. Because she is wearing multiple chains, the enemy can sometimes hear where she is coming and going. Laurella tends to fight with her emotions and her heart, rather than with sense and logic sometimes, which some more aware enemies can recognize and use against her. Laurella's head is in the clouds most of the time and her trust of people is sometimes far too great. 
Laurella also tends to hold lifetime grudges against some people, though she is only reminded when they come around her. Though she finds it almost impossible to forgive, when she does, she still remembers and never forgets due to her vivid memory. 
 
 
TALENTS: Painting and designing. She also plays the harp and loves to cook. She embarks on a bit of detective work from time to time and tends to 'take the jobs' of some of the investigator sections in her counsel. She is a surprisingly excellent dancer, able to dance any kind of dance with supreme accuracy and creativity. 
 
GOALS: To find her parents. In the meantime, her devotion is her people, friends, spouse and country, fashion and style. 
 
 
FAMILY: Her parents went missing some time ago. Emperor Leono and Empress Laurella VI. While they were alive, Laurella spent much of her time around them in admiration. Then one day, they just went missing, their blood, clothing and bits of glass left behind. Though they are proclaimed dead, Laurella is obsessed with finding them, often taking long, sometimes secret expeditions to gather clues. She has no siblings, but has uncles, aunts and cousins from her father's and mother's side. Grand Prince Maxis and Arch-Duchess Holly are two of her closest living blood relatives that she communicates with regularly. 
 
 
PETS: Her most cherished animal friend is a cute, but planet-buster power level yellow duck named Duke. Duke was found abandoned among the pilings of a pond while Laurella was on her travels. He was abandoned by his family for being different in his abilities, missing feathers and homely appearance. Duke is an ordinary duck in looks and mindset. (Though he has a pair of mutated-looking little wings growing out of his back.) He does not talk, and wants nothing more than to play and be Laurella's companion. The truth is, that Duke's power is so strong that far too many underestimate the little yellow duck until it is far too late. Duke also has the power to lay normal-looking eggs which can be used as power-ups, though, being a duck, shows no interest in the infertile eggs. As far as his powers go, how he received them exactly is a mystery, though the high pollution of the area he was found in points to a clue. Duke is fiercely protective of Laurella, follows her everywhere, and can sense danger and secretly dangerous people. The more he followed Laurella, the more he matured and became beautiful. Although he is just a duck, Duke is smart and learns quickly. Duke wears a silver crown on his head with a red center jewel and a white ruff around his neck. Duke enjoys pecking for hermit crabs near the ocean, pretty ponds, eating grasshoppers and sleeping in. Duke sometimes pecks relentlessly at the floor and looks at Laurella with a worried look and there are places in the palace he will NOT go, but no one pays him any mind. 
 
 
CREST:: A gilded rose. 
 
 
COAT OF ARMS: A red velvet curtain with a mink sole. Atop the curtain is the original imperial crown of Laurella's house. Golden laurels surround the curtains and a golden shield with four separate squares. The shield is held up by two figures belonging to the Maevanglic religion. The womanly figure is the goddess of light and righteousness and she holds the original crown jewels scepter in her hand. The male lion-human-esque hybrid is the god of might, courage and conquering and holds the literal globe of Faucetition-2 in his hand. One square on the shield has three seeds. The other, three laurel leaves, the third one, an image of the air above the sea and on the last one, a green, gold, red and white checker board field.
