.:Use:.Dria will become a main character of mine, put in the 'main character' part of my Weebly, which isn't just a title but a real thing. She will have much art drawn of her, and many stories about her, however I am not always able to buy a bunch of art because I have a full time Job, and a I am a full time college student, and I do not make enough money to spend on points or art in general, most of my characters art comes from me, and I don't upload most of it because I do not have a scanner. However, with that being said she will be drawn quite a bit, in my sketchbook, or digitally when I can (And probably even in class when my professors are teaching...). I will make her an anthro form, for she is the PERFECT character (Or the character I Imagine her to be) for a story I have been itching to write, I just hadn't found the right character who fit the part. She will also be a main character in a story I am currently working on, but only have one page so far. She will be featured with her friends: Aillel a Japanese spy running from the bounty on her head; Laurela German thief from the Thieves Guild in Germany sent to Egypt to help out the Thief branch there; Narcotic Laurel's boyfriend, an American who climbed the ranks of the Thieves Guild, using illegal means, and now controls it and its expansive network of spies and merchants, and is helped by his right-hand lady Laurel. Dria's part in this would be of Narcotic's apprentice, him seeing so much potential in the princess. She will be a star!
About the character:.Name.:Alexandria
Pronounced Alex-anne-dria
Behind the Name wrote:When my mother could tear herself away from her 'love', the Emperor of Egypt, she would spend many nights laying awake with me late into the night, telling me beautiful stories of her homeland, Greece. My favorite thing to learn about when I was a pup was always my name's origin, which is of course Greek. She would tell me in her melodic voice that my name was a form of Alexander, a male's name that means 'Defender of Men', and she would tell me how one day I would be the defender of Egypt, which was, of course, a lie.
:.Nickname.: Alex, Dria (Prefers this)
Looking Closer at Names wrote:I truly don't mind what anyone calls me, though my subjects and the staff at the palace are required to call me Princess Alexandria. My closest friends call me Dria, the nickname I prefer. My mother calls me 'Pet', and my dad just says 'You there', for he never knows which of his children he is addressing, so again, I do not care what I am called, so long as it is with respect.

In Depth::Love Interest::Alexandria's love interest is a fellow apprentice spy,
Anubis. They met on their first day, and he was very distant and cold to her, but once they started talking he relaxed, only a smidge. He is everything she isn't, dirty, a 'street rat', has street smarts, cold, uncaring, raised in the streets with little to no food... And she is intrigued by him. The more she talked to him, the more she realized they may come from different places, but they are the same in soul and mind. She fell for him after her third month training with him, his mentor Laurel, and her mentor Narcotic after he saved her from
::Personality::Stubborn .:. ImpatientOne thing Dria most certainly is... No, scratch that, TWO things Dria most certainly is would be Impatient, and Stubborn. She doesn't deal well with other authority figures, and once she has an idea or something she wishes to do / have done she will not budge on the subject until she gets her own way. She doesn't throw a fit, she doesn't whine or complain, but will stand there silently staring until she gets what she wants. The same situation happens when she becomes impatient. If you tell her something will be done, and it is not done when you said it would be, she gets upset and tends to stare until you stop what you're doing to get whatever it is she wants done, DONE, right then and there.
Temper :.: Keeps Emotions InDria has a temper, but she tends to keep her emotions inside, even her temper. If she is mad at you, which could be as often as every hour, she will stop talking to you completely. With keeping her emotions in she does tend to just randomly snap completely, releasing all of the pent up emotion and negative energy inside of her, which does end up harming those around her, never physically, but usually emotionally. It is very easy to set Dria off, usually all you have to do is look at her cross-eyed, but she gets that from her mother, and as she grows older she finds it easier to control her temper.
Good Liar .:. IntelligentIntelligence and being a good liar go hand in hand for Dria. She can usually come up with a story quickly, and calmly on the spot while under pressure. Now, she may not be able to remember the story later, but no one usually questions her about something later. She is more book smart than world smart, but is pretty intelligent in both areas, though it took a while for her to learn each.
Pessimistic :.: Brutally Honest Dria likes to hold on to hope, but it isn't easy, especially after the loss of her mother. And like her mother, Dria always speaks what is on her mind, she has no filter. Her philosophy is she'd rather people be brutally honest with her rather than say one thing to her face, and another behind her back, which is the philosophy she took from her mother. She doesn't tend to tell you what she thinks unless asked though, so you won't find her randomly spouting things like 'Your fur looks terrible today, like you didn't brush it'. However, you will find her losing hope in situations quite quickly and find her spouting negative things constantly.
Dedicated .:. DeterminedOne thing Dria is is dedicated to her studies, and learning how to be a thief. She loves both, and is determined, another trait of hers, to be the best she can be not only in her studies but as a thief as well. She will not stop until she can finish what she started, always wanting to put forth 110% effort into whatever it is she may be doing. This is, however, hard for her to do when she is in one of her extremely negative moods, she does sometimes stop, claiming to give up, but always goes back to it with renewed vigor when she feels better about her life, and herself.
Responsible :.: PoliteIf watching over children taught her one thing it was to be responsible. She had to know where all of the children she was watching were at any given time, and thus her quarters are very clean and organized, and she gets whatever she is supposed to have done on time even if she has to push through one of her negative moods. She will, however, sometimes fail in getting things done on time, which effects her negatively, but she gets back in the game trying to be responsible. Growing up around tutors and consorts ensured that Dria grew to be a polite child, and indeed she is... Unless she is being brutally honest! The filter she has only pauses for her to be polite, and nothing much more than that.
Cunning .:. BraveIn the face of fear Dria is usually calm and doesn't freak under the pressure. She can also weasel her way out of many things by using her intelligence and skill at lying, thus usually avoiding the fear all together when she can.
::History/Background::My history is still in the making, and isn't as interesting as my mother's is ... Er... Was... I was born in the Consorts' rooms, the set given to my mother. My younger years are just a blur to me, filled with being rushed from one place in the Consorts' quarters to another part of the Consorts' quarters for lessons in everything from being a lady, to mathematics.
While it was a blur, what wasn't was my mother watching me grow up, the pride that would shine in her beautiful red eyes that I'm told mine look like. She was a strong, healthy fae with the Pharaoh's favour, which the Queen couldn't stand, for he was often in my mother's quarters rather than his own palace. Not that I really paid attention until after the death of my mother...
However, three years ago is when I truly began to listen, and watch, observing everything and letting nothing escape my sight. I was twelve, old enough to babysit the youngest of the Children when their mothers and mine got together to discuss accessories and what not. I remember this day like it was yesterday, I was in the courtyard playing on some stones, like I was not supposed to do, and the guards, who had been watching me the whole time I had been on the rocks, suddenly let out a howl, scaring me. I fell, and these stones were rather high, twisting one paw, and hearing the sickening crack of bone snapping. I knew it was my father's doing when I saw a guard, the one who didn't howl, rushing to my side while the other one pocketed some gold that was handed to him by my father's assassin in the shadows.
My wound was set, poorly, by my father's own personal foot doctor, which is what his life's studies were, so I find it hard to believe he set it wrong on accident like he claimed. My mother, of course, didn't believe my story, choosing her love over her own daughter. I should have known better though... And I shouldn't have let that make me stop talking to my mother, and stop cherishing her... For two years after that, at the age of fourteen, two years of the silent treatment, no I love you's from me, my mother died. I
I do not know the specific details of her death, just that I had come into her quarters one evening when she was supposed to have supper with the Pharaoh and didn't show. She had been served wine earlier, it was her usual evening-before-supper wine, which was later found to have poison in it.
I was allowed to stay and continue my studies being one of the Pharaoh's daughters, as well as the daughter of his favorite consort. He pretty much ignored me, as did everyone but the Children, the Queen, and the Queen's youngest. I turned to sneaking out of the palace, at first to be rebellious, then I met Narcotic.
Narcotic was, ironically, stealing from one of the merchants that had found their way into town and would be on their way the next day to deliver goods to the Pharaoh himself. Intrigued as to who would be as bold as to steal from basically the Pharaoh's own stores I followed him. He didn't hear me until he was almost at his base of operations, and even then he didn't make a move to attack as I thought he might've. Seeing my potential in stalking the Master Thief of the Egyptian Thieves Guild without being heard, he offered me a place among the thieves.
I accepted, but hesitantly, and for the last year I have been under the tutelage of Narcotic, training side by side with Anubis who is mentored by Laurel, Narcotic's girlfriend. My history isn't complete, and I have left out a few secrets, for a Princess must keep some things to herself, shouldn't she? ::Appearance::I am an averaged sized, female, Egyptian Wolf with dark brown fur. My markings are a light brown colour on my back, chest, stopping at the beginning of all four legs, and partially on my face, a darker brown on my ear tips, and a dust brown on my belly, tail tip, and around my eyes. My eyes are a beautiful crimson colour that terrifies most people. As for my fur, it is of average length, not too fluffy, or too sleek. It showcases my lithe form, and ripples over the muscles when I move.::Accessories::I have a large, real, solid gold collar around my neck, which is inlaid with a large ruby in the middle, right underneath my neck. There are two smaller rubies on either side of the gem, and the collar is worn to show of my dazzling red eyes. I also wear a solid gold cuff on my right leg, which also has a ruby on it.::Medical Issues::I have a twisted paw, which is an issue when I am out in the field, but it was from an incident three years ago, made by my father, though my mother refused to believe me, and the doctor my 'beloved' father sent to help me set it wrong. I do limp, and it hurts when it rains.
My red eyes have caused colour blindness, but only red-green... Which kind of sucks because, as I am told, my friends Laurel, Narcotic, and Aillel have one or all those colours!
Family Life-Pharaoh Semerkhet-There isn't much to say about my father. He truly doesn't take much notice of me, just my mother, and all his other wives. We children, unless we are actually part of the ruling family, are left to our own devices. I suppose it could be worse, he offers us all a place to live, and has tutors come in to educate us... I am only allowed to remain in his care because of my mother.-Queen Karomama-She hates me, my mother, and all of the Pharaoh's other consorts. She is Pharaoh Semerkhet's wife and queen in name, even though he has many other wives. I suppose she would be considered his first wife. She tries to hurt us in any way she can, often resulting in the we children steering clear of the main palace grounds for she dares not come into the consorts buildings.-Artemisa-My beautiful, Greek mother. She was one of Pharaoh Semerkhet's consorts, and perhaps his favorite. I am their only child together, and only considered a princess in name, and nothing more. My mother was a very kind woman, and despises Queen Karomama for the tricks and nasty things she plays / does to the children. She would defend us with her life if she had ever needed to do so. Sadly the Queen's jealousy got so out of hand she had my mother poisoned. It has been two years since her death and the wound is still raw.-Princess Jamila-My half sister, one of the two princesses of the Queen and the Pharaoh. I do not know much about her, just that she is a very sickly child. I met her once, she seemed very sweet, a better wolf than her sister can ever hope to become. She is the eldest, from what I understand, and is being married off to another country's prince, that if she is well by the end of this season.-Princess Kanika-Princess Kanika is my other half sister, the youngest of the three royal children. She is by far the meanest as well, taking after her mother in that manner. I try to stay away from her as much as possible so I have no idea what she is like, other than how incredibly scary and mean the five year old can be.-Prince Tepemkau-Prince Tepemkau is perhaps my favorite of the three royal siblings. He actually views his half siblings as real creatures with real feelings. I love it when he comes to play with us. He is about my age, and very handsome with black fur and golden eyes. He will be the next Pharaoh.-The Children-My half siblings. They are wonderful children... Okay well, most of them. The boys are rough, the girls are brats, but we all stick together and love each other. Their mothers are various consorts of the king, like my mother was, and so I believe that draws us closer together. I am in the middle group of all the children in age, there are those older than us, and those younger, but we all try to help each other as best as we can, and of course steer clear of the Queen.

A Taurus doesn't generally give away anything but a calm, cool, and collected exterior, so it is hard for them to let out their emotions. They tend to stay away from crowds, while somehow still being known for being 'people' people. They only let people get as close as they want them, and Dria is a good example of this, she doesn't really let people in, and they can only get as close as she wishes for them to be, unlike some who don't realize how close someone is until they get hurt. Stubbornness is a big Taurus trait, they don't generally budge, and if you try to get your point across you may as well be talking to a wall. Taurus love beauty and pleasure, and Dria has this both in abundance, and always goes for the fancier things when it comes to her thievery. They love to live for today, and will make the most of the time they have rather than worry about the future.
*Zodiac Animal*Earth Tiger
Earth Tiger Information wrote:Tigers are born leaders, and are selfish from time to time. They are brave, and courageous, which is recognized by both who are considered enemies as well as friends. They are fear junkies, and hard workers. They make hasty decisions, never really thinking before acting, and thus take the consequences of their actions. They very much like to be in charge and have issues with those in authority. Sometimes, however, they still hold in too much emotion and can find it hard to let out their stress.
*Items*An Emerald - The very first thing Dria stole for Laurel and Narcotic, it is one of her most prized possessions. She hides it in the tight fitting golden collar she never takes off.
A Stuffed Animal - This is something her mother gave to her, having one of the other consorts make it for Dria specifically. It is a little albino crocodile with rubies for eyes. It is tattered, and resewn in many places, but Dria cannot sleep without it.

Story Excerpt"Do you think they're here?" the whispered, melodic voice floated over Dria's ears, her red eyes glowing softly in the dim light. "Laurel, I did my spying, they will be at my father's banquet all night, I assure you." she replied, rolling her eyes knowing that the black fae wouldn't be able to see her do so.
The soft fur brushing against hers was distracting her, and she glanced over at her companion apprentice, his black fur making him almost invisible, but his golden eyes were glowing softly. "Mistress Laurel I am sure Alexandria is correct in her findings, she usually is." his deep voice soothed her nerves that had been piling up. "Now, we must go now, we are wasting valuable time."
It wasn't the first time that night that Dria wished she had her mentor, Narcotic, with her, he had opted out of this particular mission. Laurel was kind, but didn't always have a level head when it came to missions, and liked to place blame on Dria constantly. Blinking to clear her thoughts she realized Anubis and Laurel were already on their way into the home they had targeted. Sighing, Dria followed, wanting to get the item and leave.
She had lost sight of Anubis and Laurel completely but knew they were on their way to get their own items and get out, they'd meet up at the designated area when they were done. Creeping through the house, Dria spotted her targeted item, a beautiful golden necklace, just laying haphazardly on a dresser. She felt as if something was wrong, her brown fur standing up all over, but went along to the necklace anyway.
As soon as she had the necklace in her mouth a lantern's light flooded throughout the room, and Dria froze. She had been caught.
