...I swear I'm not trying to be Hermione Granger, honest.
Name: Silenya
Age: 17
Race: Altmer
Gender: Female
Birth sign: The Lord
Physical Appearance: The best word to describe Silenya is either "yellow" or "gold", depending on how you feel about her. She is tall and leggy, with the classic Altmer skintone and long blond hair. Her eyes are dark brown, and seem to bear an eternal serious expression.
Hair style: Long (past her waist), usually pulled back in a pony-tail with a purple ribbon.
Hair colour: Blond
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 134 lbs
Misc: Classy gold hoop earrings.
Apparel: Uniform (with skirt cut exactly to regulation length), black velvet shoes trimmed with gold, and a purple ribbon to hold back her hair.
Weapons: None, and she is horrified that anyone might have some!
Misc.: She has a leather shoulderbag with a Mages' Guild decal stitched to the front. In it, she always carries textbooks; a small leather-bound planner; a vial of fatigue potion for late nights; and a hand-carved oak case that carries her quills, ink, and quill sharpener (a small razor).
Personality: A perfectionist and over-achiever to the extreme, Silenya is at the top of the class in History and Magic (particularly in Mysticism and Alteration). She feels the compulsive need to prove that she's smarter and better mannered than everyone else. She volunteers herself for community service activities and is particularly involved in the Peer Tutoring Program. To be fair, she really is very smart, but she tends to overthink things, and her attitude doesn't make her the most popular person in school, except with perhaps the teachers.
Bio: Silenya is the daughter of Tyressius, Wizard Rank and chapter head of the Amol Mages Guild... and she never lets anyone forget it. As far as she's concerned, "Daddy's" word is law and scripture, and she holds everyone--especially herself--to his exacting standards.
As both of her parents were members of the Amol (A mid-sized town in north-east Skyrim) Mages' Guild, Silenya was raised on a strict diet of magic and education. Her father was a strict disciplinarian who held knowledge in the highest regard; it was pretty much all she ever knew, and so she can't understand when other people don't. She was tutored by the Guild Mages from the moment she could walk, and was sent to the College as soon as she was eligible. As she had the brains and Tyressius had the money and power, she was accepted.
