[but wait] [theres more]
▆Personality
As a greenblood, Rasali is able to skate by through her life without too much difficulty. She's not red enough to garner much disdain from the highbloods, but she's not blue enough for them to expect a lot out of her. Rasali's life is pretty simple. She's a comfort creature who likes getting cozy with a blanket and a cup of tea. However, there's a thin line between relaxation and boredom for Rasali.
She's a big fan of all kinds of cinema--the more melodramatic and campy, the better, as Rasali is easily impressed by flashy special effects and flamboyant action heroes. Rasali also likes games, but her lack of creativity and patience for puzzles keeps her from taking up FLARP. She does enjoy other sports, though, but can become a bit of a drill sergeant with her team should things get competitive. She knows you could be a winner if you would just PASS THE ******** BALL.
While she adheres to the social order of the hemospectrum, Rasali is more judgmental when it comes to a troll's lifestyle: if they have their quadrants under control; if they know what field they want to go into as an adult; if they know how to stand up for themselves in a fight, etc. Strangely enough, Rasali is more likely to show enthusiasm than disdain if the troll in question's life is in a state of disarray. Rasali loves fixing things-- trolls most of all. She has romantic dreams of being in someone's pale quadrant and her thirst for entertainment gives her an aggressively meddlesome personality. It's in your best interest. Honest.

[heres the breakdown]
▆Strength and Flaws
Strengths:
Empathetic
"Please don't be sad! If you're sad, then I--*sniff*... hic...."
Rasali is very open with her emotions. She's naive and idealistic, but it lends itself to her friendly and outgoing nature. Her sensitivity could easily be seen as weakness to many trolls, but for Rasali, it serves as motivation to leave her comfort zone and involve herself with others. If she sees someone in trouble, she won't hesitate to see what she can do to help!
Supportive
"Don't forget: you are STRONG and SPECIAL and IMPORTANT!"
Rasali's tendency to meddle may be condescending and ultimately self-serving, but she wouldn't get involved if she didn't believe in her cause. She has a great deal of faith in the people around her and feels that they can accomplish great things if they just have a push in the right direction. She'll go to great lengths to help a troll out without asking anything in return. If anyone feels down about themselves in Rasali's presence, she'll be there to slap some sense into them.
Reliable
"I said I would be here, and here I am!"
Rasali is an honest troll. She doesn't beat around the bush if she's got a problem with someone, and her desire to do right by others means she takes her promises very seriously. While she's not above mind games when the situation calls for it, they don't sit well with her. She's got no problems with telling people "no," so if she agrees to do you a favor, she means it. She's a troll who gets things done.
Flaws:
Self-Righteous
"I'm just trying to help!"
Rasali never does anything half-way. She's either completely invested or couldn't care less, and when she does care, she cares a lot. Passion can make Rasali reckless, and she's prone to sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Whatever problems she may cause with her interference, Rasali will refuse to admit fault. She's good at explaining away any sort of involvement she may have with ensuing drama, though it's up for debate whether or not she really buys her own words.
Hardheaded
"You should have just said so in the first place!"
Rasali has a lot of energy, a lot of motivation and not a lot of patience. While she knows on a surface level that big problems don't have quick and easy solutions, it does little to deter her from attempting the most direct and aggressive route more often than not. Critical thinking is not something Rasali's good at, so she's rather not waste her time on it if she doesn't have to. Things would be a lot easier if everyone just did everything her way.
Objective
"What more do you want from me!?"
The hemospectrum isn't doing Rasali any favors, so she determines her self-worth by how many people appreciate her. In turn, Rasali often forgets that trolls are real people with feelings and can get too wrapped up in the thought of them as things for her to fix or goals to attain. This can lead to her taking a rather ham-fisted approach to comforting others in need, which in turn leads to frustration and exasperation when she can't seem to make anything better.

[im bored]
▆Interests
Spa Treatments: Rasali has relaxation down to a science. Hot springs, nail polish, makeovers, she loves it all. (She has a hard time not eating the cucumber slices, though.)
Sports: Relaxation is more fun if you're worked up about something first! Rasali is highly competitive and loves team activities. Sports are the best of both!
Skating: Rasali discovered a love of skating as a child, and has been practicing ever since. She hopes to get into roller derby someday!
Pop Culture: Rasali's tastes revolve around what's fun. She loves big action movies, catchy pop songs, and the screaming fan activity that comes with them. Leave the dully, snobby stuff to the highbloods.
Volunteering: Rasali loves to be proactive in her community. She's quick to help friends and strangers alike. Hell, she'll even assist an enemy if it'll win her points. She's probably a little more competitive than she is altruistic.

[its my dad]
▆Lusus Naturae
Rasali's lusus is based on a kappa. He's a large, bipedal turtle, roughly the size of a bear, with a duck bill. He also has a luxurious mane of hair accented by an unfortunate bald spot on the top of his head. He's very fond of his long locks and self conscious of his bald spot. He'll begrudgingly let Rasali give him a trim every once in a while so his vision isn't obscured.
Kappadad is quite old for a lusus. Rasali suspects he may have had a charge or two before her, but if he has, he's neither confirmed nor denied her suspicions.
While Kappadad would be content living in complete solitude, he was quite keen on following his younger charge around and making sure she didn't meddle herself into more trouble than she can handle.
When other trolls do get fed up with Rasali, Kappadad rarely steps in violently to aid his troll. Most confrontation used to be headed off by Kappadad hauling an indignant Rasali away by the back of her shirt. Nowadays, Kappadad is more open to trusting Rasali to settle conflicts herself. Emphasis on "open to."
Despite his curmodgeonly nature, Kappadad is quite smart and possesses sharp emotional perception. Being as physically slow as he is, Kappadad makes sure to always be quick to discern when to abscond from a fight, or where to station himself outside of the hive if he should he suspect Rasali of trying to skip out on a grounding.
Part of Rasali believes her lusus is psychic. She has yet to realize she just has a terrible poker-face.

[pull up a cushion]
▆Hive
Rasali lives in the Four Fronds area just on the edge of the forest. Her hive is small and unassuming, set just far enough back in the trees that it can't be easily seen from the well-worn dirt road that runs past it. Said road leads to a natural hot spring back behind Rasali's hive. Rasali looooves the spring and spends a lot of time there. Even if she's not sitting in the water, she can often be found hanging around next to the spring in order to spend time with her lusus, who insists on being in the spring when his charge isn't gallivanting across the countryside.
The hive itself is mostly a respiteblock with a kitchenette, but has a large sliding door that opens to a porch, making the space seem a lot larger. Rasali doesn't have much furniture outside of a low table and her recuperacoon, but she more than makes up for it in pillows and blankets. (She's the self-proclaimed empress of pillow fort building.) Most flat surfaces in her hive are covered in teapots while her walls are decorated with paintings of serene landscapes and posters of her favorite blockbusters and pop music groups. She's messy, but she knows where her things are.
While she loves her tea, Rasali's nutritionblock isn't used for much more than boiling water. Her eating habits are pretty abysmal. She doesn't like meat and doesn't have much patience for cooking. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily since it only enforces her poor nutrition), Rasali's palette isn't terribly refined. She could eat Styrofoam if she had a good cup of tea to wash it down. She just doesn't like being hungry and would probably be sick a lot more often if her lusus didn't force her to eat the gross, kelpy plant life he forages.
Rasali was forced into hiding with the rest of the Phoenix Initiative after Kursha's betrayal. She lives at the Salamire Outpost in the swamp. Her hive is a modest space reclaimed from the abandoned town the rebel faction now inhabits. It's a hollowed-out tree--enormous for a tree, small for a hive--on the edge of the "town square". The interior is homey, but clearly furnished with upcycled junk scavenged by the Initiative and what little she could retrieve from the remains of her burned-out childhood hive.
