A LITTLE MORE IN-DEPTH:

Personality: Mercy is a curious girl who enjoys exploring new places and learning new things. When giving the opportunity, she leaves her home and heads towards the Shire's borders, where she can spend the day alone in the forest, discovering what the world has to offer. Although, her wish has always been to leave The Shire, and see the rest of Middle Earth. She has heard so many fascinating stories about what's beyond her home, and having her own stories to tell would be a dream come true. Aside from this, Mercy can be a bit hot-headed. The slightest insult could make her upset, and when she's angry, you really don't want to be around her. Although, she is very temperamental, so if you make her mad, and then say something funny, she will instantly burst into a series of giggles, forgetting all about her previous outburst of fury. Even so, Mercy is a very loving girl. When not out in the forest, she is often helping the elderly hobbits or playing with the younger ones. She enjoys making others smile and laugh, and frankly, does the same quite often.

History: Mercy had a somewhat decent childhood. She had two happily married parents and one younger brother, all who she loved dearly. She was good at making friends as well as keeping them. Yet, her claim to fame would probably have to be her kind heart and big smile. Sometimes, she would sit outside her Hobbit Hole just so she could say hello to those passing by. Although, all that changed when her father died. He had caught a sickness that had never been seen before, and no one was sure how to cure him. After his funeral, Mercy felt as though she couldn't go on. She never smiled and seemed to always be crying. For 5 years Mercy acted this, all until her 19 birthday. Her friend, Ariana had run away from the Shire, leaving no trace of where she had gone. It was then Mercy decided to follow in Ariana's footsteps, and leave the place she called home. She packed her things and planned on leaving the day after her birthday party. Though, these plans never fell into action, for Mercy decided to wait the opportune moment before she left.

Roleplay Sample:

Sitting on the cold sand, Skei looked over to where her uncle was parked. He was eating the subway sandwich they picked up before they came, unaware of her eyes on him. She smiled, and focused her gaze out to the rippling ocean. The water wasn't very pretty, it was grey and had bottle and other litter scattered across it. Even so, the sound of the waves crashing against the beach was like a sweet lullaby. Still smiling, Skei crossed her legs, and spread out her bright blue skirt so that it made a big circle all around her. It seemed as though she were the only true color in the whole area. The sky was grey and cloudy, as well as the murky ocean water. The tree's leaves were brown and crumbled, for it was autumn, and winter was on the way. Even the car Skei's uncle, David, sat in was dull. It was completely black, with a few stickers colorless stickers on the bumper. Skei though, was wearing a bright blue dress. The skirt part of the dress went down to her knees, and expanded out faintly. The sleeves were simple thick straps that were the same color as the rest of the dress. To keep her warm, she wore a bright yellow raincoat that had cheetah print fur on the inside. She definitely stuck out in this scene.

After a few minutes, Skei began thinking of her parents. Gradually, the anger inside her built, and she began breathing heavily and more rapidly. Glaring across the open waters, Skei felt as though she could burn everything to the ground, including those she loved. She imagined the world in flames and her on top, smiling ever so slightly. Suddenly, she felt her uncle's arms around her. She shook her head. She was still sitting on the beach in the same position she had been in, but tears were streaming down her face, in which she hadn't even realized until then. Closing her eyes, Skei spun around and hugged her uncle back.

"I miss them." She sobbed.

"I know." He replied, his voice steady. "I know..."
