Reinette Poisson
Height; 5'5" near 5'6"
Weight; 170
General Appearance; Reinette is a beautiful, poised and regal woman. She is of middling height, close to 5'6" in heels. She possesses soft blonde hair and vibrant blue eyes. Her cheeks have a natural blush to them and her skin is a lovely white pallor. Reinette has a kind face, devoid of the natural cynicism and deception that many at court obtained through years of training. Her heart is worn on her sleeve and her emotions are easily evident from her eyes.
Physical Mannerisms; Reinette is a cultured lady and it is shown in every move she makes. She was well educated in ballet and dance, which has infected her general movement and hand gestures. She is graceful and dainty, always presenting herself as a lady, beautiful and delicate.
Verbal Mannerisms; Reinette speaks with a proper French accent, her language befitting the upper class. She speaks precisely and clearly. When she is angry, she will lash out in her natural language. She rarely swears, but if she does, it is only in French.
Fashion; She is an elegant dresser, more often preferring the styles of her time period. They are simpler than other ladies of Versailles, lacking the number of jewels and adornments, but are costly and beautiful. Lately, she has started adopting the Nysgod style and preferring flowing robes to the cumbersome corsets. It let's her move about more easily and grants her freedom.

Robb Stark

[personal profile] investigatetime 2014-08-27 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Robb Stark
Height; 5'10"
Weight; 165 lbs
General Appearance; Robb is of average height, and developed muscles from combat training and general rough and tumble as a boy growing up. He has gorgeous curly black hair with blue eyes, and is normally unshaven with about a week-worth growth of a beard. He'll shave from time to time, but actually prefers the facial hair.
Physical Mannerisms; Considering he's royal-born, he carries himself with his head held high, back straight. He walks with a purpose and often carries his sword with him still. There's also some scarring to his chest, shoulder, and gut from stab wounds (arrows to the shoulder and chest, knife to the gut). Originally he couldn't place where the chest scar was, but after dreaming of the Red Wedding, his memory is back and complete.
Verbal Mannerisms; Along with a usual stoic expression, Robb also speaks in a nondescript northern English-like accent that is often mono-tone. It's not too deep or too high-pitched.
Fashion; Since Robb is new to the Nysgod world, he had to get a new wardrobe, rather than the leathers and furs of the northern Westeros wear. He prefers a more classic look with fitted, tailored clothes, sticking to darker more earth-tones.

Blaine Thorps
Height; 6'2"
Weight; 215 lbs
General Appearance; Blaine is a tall, blonde haired, blue eyed, well muscled man who appears to be in his early to mid twenties but he's thirty now after a couple of years world/time hopping. He wears well tailored clothes when he can find them, so the muscle definition he has is hidden. He always has a ring on him, whether it be on a random finger or on a chain under his clothes. He also has 4 ear piercings and a clip, all silver in his right ear: a stud in his lobe, 3 small hoops going up the side, and a clip along the shell at the top.
Physical Mannerisms;When Blaine walks he has a long, confident stride that always makes him seem like he's going somewhere unless he purposefully slows down, and then it feels more like he's playfully stalking than meandering without purpose. His posture is more or less straight, but he'll slouch when he's trying to fade into the background, usually when he's working and trying not to be obvious. His hands rarely stay still unless he puts them in his pocket. He gestures when he speaks and if he isn't making motions he's moving the ring he wears from one finger to another.
Verbal Mannerisms; He has no accent, other than the standard American English accent, despite growing up in the south east. He speaks three languages fluently [English, Spanish, Italian], but his Italian sometimes has a Spanish accent. Whenever he speaks in another language his accent is Spanish rather than English. His vocabulary changes according to who he's speaking to, making him a bit of a chameleon when he wants to be. He whistles, hums, or sings to himself when he's cooking.
Fashion; His favorite color is blue and he often matches it with white or silver, but he wears a rainbow of colors according to whatever he feels like putting on. The style is generally preppy rich boy with pressed slacks, casual dress shoes -yes, casual dress shoes- and a button up, but he'll dress it down with a witty graphic tee. Never polos though. He hates polos, but he'll put on a vest in a heartbeat. He has a closet full of suits from when he worked in Big Pharma but he also has a lot of slouchy bum clothes that he used to blend in when he was working as a hitman. A lot of his clothes are tailored to hide his gun and to put a liner in his pants so he can skip wearing underwear without worry about it showing. Priorities.
Ect;You don't know how much I wish he had an anime so I had gifs to sprinkle around /weep.

Natasha Romanoff
Height; 5'7"
Weight; 123 lbs

General Appearance;
Natasha is your typical looking, young average female. She is categorized as slim, but is astonishingly strong and quite fast. What stands out the most is her red hair, green eyes and full lips, which add to the allure of her striking, yet deceptively beautiful features and benefit her while working undercover. Natasha has various scars, all of which she hides under her uniform, or clothing.

Physical Mannerisms;
Whether she's at work or being casual, Natasha always seems to exude a certain confidence, purpose and strength about her while also remaining alert and aware of her surroundings, and the people she's around. She holds herself with a straight back, her stride elegant and graceful. In a fight, however, she is swift, agile, concise and brutal with each and every blow she serves, with or without a weapon. Natasha wears a lot of 'masks' and can deliberately be someone else even when she's not working making it hard for anyone to get to know the real her.

Verbal Mannerisms;
Natasha's voice is lower, with a natural smoky rasp to it that makes seducing men while working undercover a breeze. Coupled with that, she speaks a number of languages with satisfactory ease, though despite her Russian heritage, she has no prominent accent. Words are enunciated and clear, and with a tone that makes it (almost) impossible to tell whether she's lying, or not.

Fashion;
While favoring leather a lot in her wardrobe, Natasha dresses for comfort. She does like dressing in skirts and dresses from time to time, but opts for dress pants, high boots and thin fabric tops. Her favorite color is black, and she will always work it into each of her outfits.

Martha Jones
Height; 5'3" She's really short guys!
Weight; 120 lbs. Sprinting for her life keeps her fit!
General Appearance; Thin but muscular from all her running around. Sometimes I think people forget she's black based off the fact that historical characters never have any sort of reaction to her - even when canonically they should. Hair is currently in braids, and with current living arrangements, will likely stay that way. Also, it's important to note the tattoo on her right arm - a butterfly with the Iranian word for freedom underneath it.
Physical Mannerisms; Martha actually has very good posture, partially because she's so short. Poor posture only makes her shorter! She walks fairly quickly, and she can run really really fast. She's fairly graceful, and from the way she moves, it's clear she's had some sort of martial arts training.
Verbal Mannerisms; Obvious English accent. Martha speaks very properly, but she's not afraid to pull out slang or even swear words when the situation calls for it!
Fashion; Martha's quite a fan of jeans, a tee, and a jacket. However, she's also very happy in black cargos a black tee, and a useful jacket. If she's dressing up, she'll be in heels for the added height, but otherwise she's wearing sensible trainers. Much easier to run in those. She does wear earrings.
Martha being badass

PUT YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME IN THIS SPACE!
Height; 5'6" We know she's taller than most Munchkins because of the Eminence Thropp blood in her.
Weight; She's REALLY SKINNY! So we'll say 130lbs
General Appearance; Well, the obvious thing is she's green. Like... really really green. The book consistently mentions that she's skinny and sharp. Her chin, elbows, knees... all sharp and spiky. Her hair is long and black. Also, she's 38 years old. There are some age lines. She doesn't take care of herself. But really... she's green.
Physical Mannerisms; Relatively graceful, though sometimes she appears to be sleepwalking. She normally has a broom to grip, and so doesn't really know what to do with her hands. Anyone around her long enough will note that she avoids water like the plague.
Verbal Mannerisms; Sharp, sarcastic tone. Once she calms down a bit, she actually can be quite social, but will end up leaving abruptly. And she's quick to anger.
Fashion; Black. Long black dresses, black cape, striped socks, black shoes, black pointed hat...
Etc; An inconsistency in the book maybe? Elphie melts in water, but she drinks tea, lemonade, and other drinks that are mostly water.

Lady Glinda Arduenna Upland.
Height; 5ft2"
Weight; 130 lbs

General Appearance; Glinda has natural blonde curly hair that is set into ringlets and pushed away from her face by either ribbon or hat. Her skin is pale and well kept as is expected of lady of her standing. She has bright blue eyes framed by very dark eyelashes. Her make up is always impeccable and she's never seen in public without it, particularly her lipstick. She is mildly plump for a woman of her height and carries most of her weight on her bust and hips.

Physical Mannerisms; Glinda stands, sits and walks as a lady should; back straight, chin up and a pleasant smile on her face. This is mostly due to her corsetry keeping her upright but also a lot to do with good rearing. One might get the impression that a lot of how Glinda holds herself and presents herself is because she's very aware that she's in the public eye. She is at her heart a politician and can't help but need to present herself in the best light possible. When talking she'll often use her hands to gracefully further her point, as if she were at a lectern or microphone.If she's nervous she'll often fuss with her clothing and hair to try and detract attention from how she's feeling, straightening skirts and playing with ruffles.

Verbal Mannerisms; Glinda's voice is very honeyed and sweet. She's a public speaker and can sound authoritative when the situation - rarely - calls for it. She rarely raises her voice, instead preferring to drop her tone when she's angry or upset. To most people she sounds like she's speaking with a received pronunciation of all of her words. She speaks very properly and formally. But she will on occasion simply make words up to extend her meaning. For example she wouldn't describe something as just pretty but rather pretticational. Being a Witch she can be quite philosophical and will often ponder things aloud.As expected she has a beautiful singing voice and a very clear soprano.
Example 1
Example 2

Fashion; Glinda is never willingly under-dressed and her usual outfit is a floor length gown with ample petticoats and skirts and silk slippers. She does prefer hooped skirts but can't wear them on the ship so they're reserved for ports now. She is somewhat of a magpie and a lot of her clothing is very brightly coloured, over adorned with bows, beads, frills, flowers, ruffles and whatever else she can get on them. She tends to wear dresses that are very low cut on the bust to show her more ample assets but is ever so cautious to keep her feet covered in fear of causing a scandal. In short she dresses in a thoroughly inappropriate manner for anything other than looking pretty and doing some light ladylike activities.
