Description: Sunlight shimmers through loose, long strands of golden oppulence that shines in even the dimmest of lights. It's often worn pulled back in braids, filled with flowers or bows or pretty scraps of fabrics or beads, otherwise it is worn down and loose like a curtain of sunlight to frame an angelic face. Beauty is lost on her, utterly and completely. Her wide eyes may be a murky-blue, but they are filled with such warmth and tender hope that they shine. Her rosey red lips and her alabaster skin are not just perfect because they make a pretty picture- but because she is always smiling. Her feactures make her beautiful but it is that secret light iniside of her that makes her ....Radiant!

Personality: It's a hard-knock life! Or so people say, but the girl named Lola Tragedy never got the message. She is the embodiment of kindness, generosity and easy love. Life has handed her a bucket of sour lemons and she didn't just turn it into lemonade, she made sure everyone around her - everyone she passed in her life - had a glass of that lemonade too. She dedicates herself to the lower boroughs, and wakes every day with the promise to put a smile on each of their faces. Outside of the boroughs tells a slightly different story. While among her own she glows with warmth and kindness, as soon as her path is crossed with nobility she becomes so painfully and awkwardly shy that she can barely function. It has been a lifelong sruggle for the little sweetheart of the boroughs.

Background: An Orphans life is, generally speaking, not a very nice one. The Tragedy Orphanage of the lower Boroughs is definately no exception. Overcrowded and underfunded, no one was happy to have another mouth to feed. Those who can afford to adopt rarely do, and those who do adopt usually do so out of necessity for an extra pair of working hands. As lovely as Lola was she became just another face shunted from house to house and back to the Tragedy again. Her only exception to the rule is that she was always happy to go, and always just as happy to return. Sometimes she would be fostered out for months, working with a fishmongers wife to gut and scale the catch of the day and she was happy for the work, for the new faces and the change of scenery. However, she was rarely kept for too long as food and money would simply become too meager to keep her on, so back she went. She loved the other children of the Orphanage and plied them with exagerated stories and little gifts whenever she could. If she ever had the fortune of coming across any kind of money, it was usually spent on them. She was simply a happy girl with a generous heart. She never had grand ides of where she came from or who she was. She was Lola of the Boroughs and that suited her just fine.

As she grew older and began showing promise of a sharp intellect and various interests was taken on as apprentices by various shops around the city. She was always pleased to help out, and any coin she was given for her exceptional standards was almost immediately spent on clothes or books for the younger children of the orphange. Her only flaw, and one that proved to be dissapointing to many a merchant, was her complete and incompetent awkwardness when any of the Nobility entered a shop. She could barely string two words together and proved herself to be hopeless as a shop girl. Everyone hated sending her back to the orphanage, but they would often have no choice. They would give her what goods they could so she never returned empty handed - but she soon began to despaire of a future for herself. Then a stroke of luck was offered to her and she found an apprenticeship with Ferron Arms and Armor. Under the tutelage of Ida Ferron she found a niche that kept her just out of the limelight of the gentry and gave her hands something lovely to create. Despite her small build and frame she showed promise at smithing and hopes to one day be as skilled as Ida herself.
