:bot:
:basic:
Assigned Name: "Arlene"
Actual Name: Lili Zwingli
Physical Age: 15
Country of Origin: Liechtenstein
Creation Date: December 23rd
Model: F.A.C.U.
Appearance: The first thing one might notice about Arlene is her size. She stands rather short at only five feet tall, but when she wears heels she gains a couple inches to make up for it. Her hair is a dusty blond color and cute right to her chin with a rather tomboyish messiness that never goes away. To counter that she always wears a bow on the right side of her head just above her ear, normally purple but she does change it from time to time. Her eyes are round like walnuts and are a bright, energetic green and her skin-tone is always fair year-round even in the sunniest weather. She does get freckles during the summer though.
For clothing Arlene is normally wearing a dress, some hoop-skirts that reach her knees and others going all the way to the floor, as well as white stockings and the aforementioned heels. The only time she'll wear something other than a dress is when told to directly. But when working on cleaning or such Arlene likes to don the traditional maids garb and replace the bow in her hair with the head-dress that goes with it. Nobody is quite sure why she does this on her own.
Strengths
[x] House-keeping
[x] Cooking -- Specializing in sweets!
[x] "Companionship" -- Arlene is good at striking up a conversation whenever she sees somebody isn't having a good time.
[x] Quick-witted
[x] Artistic -- She will make her own clothing if given the materials and she draws fairly well.
Weaknesses
[x] Pessimistic -- She carries a rain cloud over her head at all times
[x] Temper Problems -- A surprise for most people, but she does have her limits
[x] Loyalty Problems -- Arlene has thoughts about running away quite often, even if she's being taken care of. She's always afraid of getting sold or given away.
[x] Easily frightened -- Exactly what it says on the tin
[x] 'Weak' -- Compared to other bots, Arlene is quite small. She has trouble with larger tasks that involve lots of moving and can run out of power faster attempting them.

Personality:
Arlene is the traditional bot and doesn't really 'feel', but she has quite the range of 'emotions'. She comes off as timid and gentle at first, offering little smiles and a few friendly words but otherwise hanging back from crowds and excessive social interactions. When put to work she does so quietly and without complaints, of course, and seems to genuinely enjoy the tasks given to her. More often than not the only times one can see Arlene smile bright is when she's in the middle of cooking or something involving helping her master.
However there is a short fuse under her pretty face. Arlene has a bad habit of getting easily 'angered' when she is being over-worked and will snap back. If somebody besides her master gives her an order she's also liable to talk back or completely ignore them. Despite her temper Arlene would never strike or do anything physically harmful to a human. She might set something up in a way that could fall on them or trip them however.
History:
Lili Zwingli was born into a family with too many children and not enough income, and as soon as she turned seven she was immediately set to work as a helper in her father's flower shop. She did everything she could with her father to bring people in, spending all of her time outside the little shop in her best dress, long blond hair tied in braids with a little basket of flowers on her arm. However cute she was the business simply did not prosper and Lili's mother and father grew older and her siblings sicker, and with them she too grew ill. Sometimes she would sit in the corner of their single bedroom and make a chart of the days she actually felt well-enough to beg on the streets. What little money she made from that was spent on food.
At age fourteen, Lili left home and started working at another shop selling sweets. It made her more money but it still wasn't enough for her family. Making a purely selfish choice she started to hide half of the pay for herself in hopes that she would save enough to escape. This plan went well, but fearing that she would be found out Lili ran away before the year had even ended. What she had didn't get her through four months.
Sick and hungry and poorer than she'd been in her whole life, Lili slumped into an ally way one snowy evening in the middle of November. She was cold and sure that she was about to die, so she shrugged her shoulders and curled up in a ball and hoped her next life would be better. But Lili didn't die. Moments after she'd closed her eyes a man in warm winter garb had touched her shoulder and woken her, offering her a place to stay for the night. Nervous at first, Lili was simply too tired and weak to turn him away and followed the man to his home.
The man asked a lot of questions: Where was she from? How old was she? Why was she so hungry? Lili tried to answer the best she could through mouthfuls of bread and tears as she told her short but sad little tale. The man, he still hadn't given her a name, told her there was a way to escape this life without being sad and hungry, and it didn't involve death. He even said it would help her destitute family. Without asking for the details, or noticing that she hadn't mentioned that her family was poor or even alive, Lili took the man's offer.
Lili Zwingli disappeared on the thirteenth of November at fifteen years old.
RP Sample:
The room was very cold, and everything in it was white. The walls were white, the tiles on the floor were white, the curtains that hung around her like a cocoon were white, and even her own body was wrapped in a warm white blanket. The fabric felt nice and soft, softer than anything she'd owned. The gown itself felt like it was made of paper but it was a thick paper, and it kept the cold out. She liked this place. She'd never been to a hospital before, but it was a lot nicer than she had heard. According to the children from the sweets shop hospitals were scary places. But this one was nice.
"Lili, are you all ready?"
The young girl looked up from examining the blanket to the doctor. He looked intimidating with his white lab coat and thick spectacles that hid his eyes. Lili couldn't even see his eyes through the glass since the light from the ceiling was reflecting off of them. "Y-Yes, sir," she said softly and gripped the blanket tight. The doctor got the hint and approached her, standing at the foot of the bed and giving her something that wasn't quite a smile.
"Are you scared?"
"A little," the fabric bunched together where she squeezed it between her hands, "I mean, I'm still going to do it. But what is it I am doing? I...I'm not sure I should be...where are my parents? M-mister Henry said they would come to see me before it began." The doctor didn't answer her, and Lili felt the panic rising to the back of her head and throb against her skull. "They aren't coming. Did he lie to me? D-did he not even try to reach them? Are they...did he lie to me, sir...?"
The doctor shook his head and started to walk closer. On instinct Lili scooted herself back to further the distance until she was right against the pillow. "He didn't lie, Lili. He did try to reach your parents, but I'm afraid they simply didn't want to come."
A moment of silence passed between the two, the young girl, holding the white blanket tight enough to feel her own nails through the fabric, and the doctor, who could honestly care less.
"Fine," she spoke in a cold whisper and bit at the inside of her mouth, "I don't want to be here anymore. I'm ready. I don't care."
"Alright. It'll all be over soon anyway."
