Personality
With enough emotional issues to fill a shopping cart or two, Jaluna is the type of person whose energy is usually solely coming from ample anxiety running in her veins- and, while she tries to hide it, it often shows online. While in her primary state she appears cheerful and curious like a child, her attitude is as indecisive as she is and will switch quite easily to a more irritable act that often leads to her acting out in ways that can be dangerous, particularly to herself.
Because she always wants to learn something new but is often too afraid to try things, she lets herself be more adventurous in games where she feels it safer. Her curiosity lead her to learning a bit about many things in the world, and even when scared, she won't be afraid to share what she knows if she's asked. Her bluntly honest nature exists no matter what state she's in mentally- it just appears more abbrasive than intended when she's unstable. In those times, her creativity gets stronger and her distaste for herself gets bigger, making her anxiety seem to falter enough in games for her to be more violent and seek fights to distract herself when writing just won't do it.
Positive: Creative, Curious, Honest, Caring, Intelligent, Modest
Negative: Indecisive, Blunt, Naive, Forgetful, Anxious, Unstable
Biography
Jaluna was born to a cesspool of mental and medical issues, and as such, she's spent a lot of points in her life stuck in a hospital for her fragile body and mind. Perhaps because of this, along with many family members having tendencies to abandon or emotionally abuse each other with her included, Jaluna's always found it hard to deal with people and just generally lives life with quite a bit of fear. It took her until her mid-twenties to move out on her own using money she got through writing, and even then, she still stayed in New Jersey to be near her father, the one family member who's always been 'safe' to her mind, and the only one she more often than not trusts, even when she's starting to end up in a mental breakdown.
After getting a headset for deep dive as a reward for herself as she became more established as an author, Jaluna got an unusual email with a game client and decided to use it as a test for the system she wasn't really accustomed to. As she played, she found herself able to try new things without feeling as threatened by reality, and also to be able to comprehend certain sensory issues she's never been able to before in hopes of 'making her writing better'. It has let her learn smells she otherwise wouldn't know, and to learn more about herself in the process of playing the game.
In mid-winter of that year, she ended up hospitalized for a day or two due to stress from a deadline just after finishing it. She was in just in time for the winter patch to be done, and with the update for being able to be outside the northeastern US, she's begun debating if she should try leaving her 'nest' of New Jersey in the near future, at least for a writing trip or two. With new medication, she has hope her 'darker side' will be less often coming out as she returns to the game- but, in the end, it's still a part of her, so only time will tell.
