Name: Blue Sargent Door: Door Pass – dominant! Canon: The Raven Cycle Canon Point: The Raven King; shortly before Gansey's death Age: 18 Appearance: PB: Kiersey Clemons History: The Raven Cycle @ wikipedia / Blue @ the TRC wiki Personality: » LOYAL Blue presents herself to the world a certain way – she leans into a loud, eclectic fashion choices, with a prickly, standoffish nature around the majority of her peers. It's a very carefully cultivated image designed to inform people very quickly 'yes I am strange, no I will not be your friend'. She has social connections, but by her own admission prefers to stick to the outskirts of a friendship. This only changes after meeting Gansey + Co. Quickly they all form close bonds, and it's not long at all before Blue describes the group as "all in love with one another". She considers them family — something which already has great meaning outside of blood relations to her. As part of her 'strange family' at 300 Fox Way, her life has been a revolving door of close female friends and family members. Often these women had a hand in raising Blue alongside her mother, and she was raised to be independent by all of these strong women influences. For Blue, family has never just meant blood, and once she decides someone is family, there's very little she wouldn't do for them. She's deeply loyal to them, and there's no telling how far she would be willing to go. It's perhaps the only thing that contradicts her "sensible" nature – Blue constantly shows herself contradicting that for the sake of her family. She's never one to rush into danger, but for the select group of people she has chosen as "her own", she will go anyway. » SENSIBLE Much to her annoyance, Blue is incredibly sensible. Another part of her carefully cultivated "strange" image is to demonstrate to the outside world how she feels on the inside – but for all the effort she puts into looking fashionably bizarre and 'other', she is deeply logical. Problems will be weighed up and considered and options well thought out before she makes a decision, and sometimes this results in no decision being made at all. That's not to say that she's particularly good at this – often the logic she uses is contradictory, or the facts presented to herself in a way that clearly points to her preferred outcome, but to her at least, they always make sense. Blue has lived most of her life without adventure. Growing up in a house full of psychics without being one would be adventure enough for most, but she longs for the kinds of adventures that she just wouldn't choose to take herself on. Despite growing up with all the freedoms in the world, she rarely exercises the freedom that comes with a parent who "doesn't believe in discipline". It isn't until the search for Glendower that she begins to break any of these rules at all. Even as she does, it's not about rebellion. It's because the only thing that can stop Blue from being sensible, is these new people she has chosen as her friends – though even then, she does not rush into danger so much as cautiously walk. » STUBBORN Without a doubt, Blue has a temper. All those women raised her headstrong as well as independent, and she's described as a "raging feminist". It's true that areas of injustice (perceived or otherwise) get under her skin very quickly, but beyond that Blue is just very short tempered and stubborn as a person. She's quick to offence and quick to reaction, easily picking a fight with a customer in her work place rather than letting a perceived grievance go unanswered. Blue also firmly believes that her logic or choice is the right one, a lot of the time. While she will consider hearing others out, it's clear that she more often than not believes that she is more right than others, and she will usually just do the thing that she wanted to anyway. When she's finally disciplined by her mother for one of the first times in her life, in a way that conflicts with what she needs to be doing, Blue easily rebels against this with only the tiniest bit of guilt. This also becomes part of her hypocritical, contradictory nature — some of the choices she digs her heels into, Blue would be furious if done by another person, or to her. But to Blue her ends often justify her means, even though she wouldn't likely accept that as an excuse from someone else. » JUDGEMENTAL Loudly and often, Blue judges people. She judges her family for the choices they make in life. She judges the locals for not having the ambition to leave that she believes that she possesses – despite her sensible understanding that she likely will also never leave. She judges her classmates and peers for not fully seeing her (while not allowing herself to be seen). More than anyone, she judges Aglionby schoolboys and rules them all 'bastards'. Part of this comes from a clear class divide – she doesn't respect the private school boys that come from wealth and let it turn them into loud, brash assholes – but even as she starts to befriend a very small, select group of them, Blue never lets the chip fall from her shoulder. To the point where she orchestrates a fake fight, so that none of the people at her school (ones she isn't even friends with) will get the impression that she might be friends with an Aglionby boy. Judgement is like breathing to Blue, it comes naturally and often, usually without her even recognising it as such. She knows that she can be judgemental, often unfairly or at least too quickly, but this awareness doesn't change her habits at all. Powers and Abilities: Blue is able to amplify powers – acting as a battery to other psychic/magic abilities, without any magical abilities of her own beyond this. This can be controlled by Blue consciously, and removed or given with intention, though it is an innate ability and she doesn't always have full control of this. (Although this is an innate ability OOCly it will be run as opt-in with a permissions post). Inventory: » a pink pocket knife » her mother's tarot deck » a hand mirror Samples: one & two |
