( appearance ) Daiadema is tall, intimidatingly so. She stands at 6'2, towering over most people she encounters. She has an slightly lithe build, seeming to be naturally muscled in certain areas of her body. Dark wavy hair falls over a delicately chiseled, work tanned face, Her hair is almost always filled with braids woven throughout it, decorated with silver or gold rings or bobbles tied into the strands. The first trait people are drawn to are her eyes. Naturally a deep green, when undergoing extreme feelings or experiencing a vision, they seem to glow a neon green. She has thick, full lips, that rarely smile, usually drown together in a frown or confused pout. A few dark inked tattoos are spread about her skin, intricate patterns from her home village or symbolism of things to come or things that have yet to pass.Her way of dressing is bland, honestly greatly standing out against those among the kingdom. She bears dark reds and blues, rags almost and no matter how much it's encouraged that she wears something more fitting for someone of the kingdom, she refuses and defaults back to her commoners clothes.
-- Forest Green.
-- Brown.
-- Everywhere but none of significance.
______
( personality ) Those that first meet Daiadema always assume she has an extreme superiority complex. She is expressionless with most and her answers are clipped and to the point. In all honesty, she is unsure as to how to act around the public so it's fair to call her awkward. She has difficulties understanding the motives and habits of normal people, making her seem off or rude often times. She's very stoic, choosing to remain in her own mind over large groups or social situations.
In contrast to the first impression people get from her, Daia is quite soft if she finds you to be deserving. She will put others before herself, often taking the blame for misfortunes or accidents about the kingdom but only if she deems you worthy. She has a strong sense of person, only ever showing her true colors to those she knows won't take advantage of it or who are true to who they are. And she always knows.
She isn't very open, not in the slightest. She greatly believes in self preservation on an emotional sense, choosing to keep her inner hassles to herself if they don't involve anyone else and for this reason, it's often impossible to understand what she's thinking until you hang around her long enough and can pick up on her subtle hints of displeasure or unease.
Due to her size and the mask she often carries with her, people are too often afraid of Daiadema and she accepts this to be the part she plays in everything. To be alone and without friends. It was what she was raised to believe so on the off chance someone approaches her for whatever reason, she may come off as suspicious and untrusting, but confused more than anything. To bond with her, one must have the strongest patience because she will not make it easy.
-- Lightning, open waters, death
-- Being normal
( history ) Daiadema was born in a distant village, far from Drakania. It was a rural place, known for their farmland and fishing locations. To someone from the kingdom, the place was a wasteland, not much going for it other than livestock and cargo from the ocean and it was more or less true. But to someone that came from here, knowing nothing else, this was home and Daia loved it.
But she didn't spend that long there.
She began developing clairvoyant abilities after her third birthdays. Some thought it to be coincidence until she woke up from a proclaimed nightmare, speaking of having seen her own death. The following day, she nearly drowned on one of their docks. Having been worried for her well-being, her father had tagged along and rescued her from her watery fate. However, in an attempt to save her, he lost his own life to the waves. It hadn't been her death she had seen, it had been his.
She was a proclaimed seer. Some in the village believed it to be a curse and demanded she be sent away at once to avoid spreading it to the rest of them. Some believed it was a blessing, and she would be the secret to the prosperity of the village. When other territories caught word of her abilities, though, they wanted it. The village was visited by many a ruler, offering riches and land to her mother to try and have Daiadema live in their kingdom and serve under their rule. Each time she would refuse.
This didn't sit well with some of the kingdoms though and they sent people to get Daiadema for themselves. Her mother had to choose. Keep her daughter at the village and perhaps in harms way or sell her and perhaps spare her these attempts on their lives.
On her seventh birthday, Daiadema was put on a boat and sent to Drakania. She's been there ever since.

______
( other ) She is a seer among Drakania. She forsees future events and reports them to the Queen. Her visions are never blatant and clear though, appearing more as fragments and flashes, almost like a visual riddle. It's up to everyone else to decode these visions and figure out what is to happen.
( roleplay ideas ) i'm thinking a ball of sorts? Something to bring everyone out and together and really busy but also increases the chances of something bad happening like an assassination attempt or something.
( character inspiration ) Lexa from The 100 and Nostradamus
