Age:
Twenty-five
Race:
Human
Occupation:

Allegiance:
Broddring
Physical Description:
Anck is a pretty enough girl to warrant a second glance, but she is no staggering doll-like beauty. What makes her attractive is mostly the way she holds herself rather than just her face- she is tall and slender, and wears flowing outfits that accentuate her every move as well as bright colours to set off her dark skin. Besides those, her confidence and proud bearing give off the sense that she is a woman of high birth, and eyes are drawn by her exotic features. Anck does, however, have one small physical deformity- she has six fingers on her right hand, in the form of an extra index finger, and translucent webbing is stretched between each of her fingers. It often causes Anck to be branded as a witch or trickster.
Anck’s homeland is a collection of islands to the west known as the West Antilles. The people there share their roots with the Nomads of the Hadarac, and therefore are physically very similar to them. However, the Antilles folk intermarried with people of other races, and now share some differing features that Anck possesses. She has the notable chocolate skin colour, but is otherwise slighter than the Nomads- she isn’t as tall as most of their women at 5’8”, her chest is much less exaggerated, attuning to her slender frame- although she has very blatant hips- and her facial features are smaller. She has a heart-shaped, deceptively sweet face and square jaw, high cheekbones, pouted lips, a hooked nose, and an arched forehead. Her eyes are almond-shaped and milky grey in hue, framed by small eyelashes and thin, arched eyebrows. Her hair is straight, and is also very dark, hanging past her waist. Anck usually keeps it up in a signature high ponytail.
As stated above, Anck, despite not being one, dresses nearly as well as a woman of Broddring’s high court. She always wears dresses and skirts, usually of light, flowing materials in bright colours. In winter, her body is hidden by heavy furs, although she wears light clothing beneath them. The cuts of Anck’s tops vary widely, sometimes showing her arms, neck, shoulders, cleavage, or a combination of the four, but she strictly never wears form-fitting outfits or shows her legs. Anck sticks to the bare minimums with makeup, using nude skin shades as opposed to the blaringly arresting colours that most women prefer. Oil for her eyelashes, colourless moisturizing gloss for her lips, black kohl to outline her eyes, and creamy pigments to even out her skin tone are her daily maximum. She only wears more for special occasions. Anck’s scent is also subtle, usually lavender or another faint-smelling incense. Jewellery-wise, Anck wears bangles and earrings that match her outfits accordingly. Her only piercings are in the lobes of her ears, and she has no tattoos.
Personality:
With a deep, sultry voice that hints at her singing ability, charm, and casual flirtatiousness, Anck is easily seen as a very attractive woman, and not just for her looks. However, in spite of her seductive appearance, Anck is not well-known for her bedside manner. She is incredibly pragmatic and embittered, with a snarky demeanour and a sharp temper that usually results in her storming out of the room. She is not one to display affection, and is very logical in demeanour, which is most easily seen in her affinity for chemistry and mathematics.
Anck is very world-weary despite her youth, with enough sarcasm and cynicism to pop the most optimistic bubbles. Quick-witted and down-to-earth, she often proves an excellent foil for Tox’s eccentrics and tendency to overestimate himself. She also has a very low opinion of men due to her negative experiences with them, and is confident of her attractiveness and sexuality- which she uses to break many hearts. Anck is not one for relationships, and all of her correspondences with men rarely last longer than a week.
Being also very independent, Anck also gives off a somewhat unconventional air of being a tough girl. Deadly calm and almost apathetic, she is cunning and dark in nature. Those traits, added to her almost indifferent airs and self-reliance, give her the supreme confidence of a military general. Two more of her skills are lie detection, thanks to her extensive training in acting, and her ability to see people’s true intentions- which often come in handy more often than not, as Anck has no combat training whatsoever- by far, her best attack is a heavy kick to the groin before fleeing for her life.
