Personality
Francine is a child that was brought up knowing and understanding the rules in terms of propriety and having been in an all-girl’s boarding school since about the age of nine, she is quiet and reserved in real life. Her avatar personality sheds those binds with relish. Lycia is loud and in your face, happy and exuberant and always looking for ways to express herself. She will walk up to people and inquire about what they’re doing or feeling and feel no shame. She considers everyone a friend, unless they are mean to her, and will help at the drop of a hat. She enjoys meeting other players and learning from them.
Lycia has manners, she just doesn’t employ them. She doesn’t actively practice personal boundaries unless she is either told to step back or she gets the feeling she is making the other person unreasonably uncomfortable. If neither of those things happen, she will often ask outright if she is making them uncomfortable. She has no qualms about speaking her mind here and seeing others react to her words, gestures, and thoughts. This doesn’t mean that she is cruel to others because she isn’t. She still employs tact, just not as much as in the real world.
It’s very easy to take advantage of Lycia. She is very trusting, very giving, and – due to general naivety – believes that most people are inherently good. Manipulating her is easy, getting her to do your bidding is also easy. But should she find out, she will try to avoid you for the rest of her time in the game if possible. Similarly, she hasn’t mastered the ability to talk about her feelings in a way that would help solve problems, so she likely to either storm off when upset or lash out. While she will be sorry, the behavior and outcome won’t change so it’s likely to happen again.
Positive: Helpful, Cheerful, Outgoing, Adventurous, Friendly, Creative
Negative: Naive, Brash, Moody, Weak-Willed, Disorganized, Conformist
Biography
…I just think that mom and dad didn’t really know what to do with us. I mean, two kids at one time is a lot! And dad always says that we were…difficult babies. We would cry and whine and fret whenever everything was okay. Mom says they pulled their hair out a lot during those first few months, but the real challenge came when we started moving around. Walking and running and hiding and scheming. Dad says they were out of their depth.
I overheard gramma saying to Aunt Lydia that mom and dad got jobs to be away from us. Well, dad worked hard and got a promotion so he could put in more hours at the office and be away from home more. And mom said she got a job to help with expenses, but she really wasn’t cut out to be a mother. I think gramma is wrong because mom and dad always give us hugs and kisses and we go on family vacations together and take day trips to the beach. They love us plenty.
But, there were plenty of nannies and babysitters and sometimes we would come home primary school and Uncle Mathew was there with his dog, sitting on the couch with a beer and watching television. He would watch us for the night because mom and dad needed a break. So, I wasn’t surprised when we got sent to boarding school. It was for the best though, because mom said that the school would nurture our minds and gives us advantages that other kids didn’t have. We were going to be great. We were going to change the world!
I hated boarding school.
The teachers were mean and snooty and condescending. They didn’t listen to our problems and they often called us stupid or lazy or dumb. I was glad when the school was investigated and then closed. It should’ve happened sooner. But, the weeks before it closed, I did get an email on my school account. And it was about this game called TerraSphere. We weren’t allowed games at the school and mom and dad usually kept us outside, so we didn’t watch a lot of television or play a lot of games in the house, but maybe they’d let me keep this one.
Or I just wouldn’t tell them and play with Amy (Amelia) in our room. We wouldn’t bother them, so maybe they’d be happy…
