3. Painfully Detailed Description:
Piper is an elven female. She stands at five feet six inches tall and weights roughly 100lbs. She's slim and fragile to look but that's mostly a deception seeing as she can hold her own when need be. Piper's complexion is elvish fair. Her hair is a silvery white with streaks of red in it, falling to just the top of her shoulders, often in a slightly organized chaos style. She usually wears it down or ties it back with a red strip of cloth in bandanna style. Her eyes are dual colored, her left being green and the right being blue, both have flecks of gold in them. Along with mismatched eyes she has mismatched ears, almost a complete half of her right ear sliced off in a diagonal upward slice. In her ears she wears three silver hoops each.

Clothing style is elvish, and she's usually in a tunic with elaborate embroidery and pants but it known to entertain a dress or barely anything at times. She favors the colors of red and gold. On her forearms she wears light brown colored leather gauntlets that are secured with deep brown leather straps with silver buckles, and also wears black fingerless gloves on her hands, under the gauntlets. Around her waist she wears a two inch wide leather belt with a silver buckle. She also usually wears black boots that come up to the top of her calves. Around her neck she wears a silver collar like necklace of vine and leaf scroll work, with little dangling arrows. Sometimes she wears a royal purple cloak. On her left hand she has a gold engagement ring with a ruby instead of a diamond and the band is fashioned to look like vines that have curling edges around the stone.

Her weapons consist of a pair of twin daggers that are usually strapped to her boots on the inside of her legs, a brown leather whip and a compound bow that still retains a well done elvish look the sight and gears being elegant and not over cumbersome looking, the wood being a blood red color from using a red wood tree. Her quiver never seems to be full of arrows but always seems to have a few when she needs them.

A few of her habit formers/favorite things are the color red, playing with her short ear or collar, fletching, feathers, and she has a particular habit of chewing on cinnamon sticks.

5. Information on Couple Commissions

Piper's love interest is Malik D'vinn.

Relationship Quirks:
1. Likening of selves/relationship to sunset/twilight/mix of light and dark.

2. Trust/Reliance. Based on the phrase "You bow shall sing with you sword and my sword shall sing with you bow."

3. Possessiveness/Protective - Malik is very possessive/protective of Piper.

4. Hair Length - Malik also has a thing about Piper's hair being really long. He likes it that way and it is in fact his job to brush it and such if he doesn't want her to chop it off as she often threatens.

Relationship Symbols: Sword and Bow motif, House Crest (found in reference links), forbidden atmospehere.

Pose/Conveyance Suggestion:
Note: Please do not let these limit your own creativity. I will not be heartbroken if your chosen pose and such is nothing like these. Long as it conveys they are indeed in a loving relationship. But people ask so I put these here.

1. Cinnamon Sticks. Malik often plays keep away/tries to seduce Piper with these because she's an addict to them.

2. Playing with ears/hair/collar/rings. They both like to play with each other's ears, and Malik likes to play with Piper's hair when it's long. Piper touches her own collar more than Malik does, but he's know to. They both have a thing with playing with each other's rings from time to time.

3.Possessive/Protective. Malik is quite possessive/protective of Piper from the rest of the world, in a loving rather than dominating way. He will often hold her in ways that show this/garner most of her attention to him rather than other things/people.

4. Climbing. Piper often climbs Malik, as if he were a tree. Usually either turns into a silly or seductive situation for them.

Background Suggestions:
Note: Again, do not let these limit your creativity.

Sunset scenery, Underdark scenery(Underfoot/Underground/Whatever you call itthese days. Rocks and glowing moss and such things (They live there), manor/library/high class indoor spaces/foresty or lakeside outside spaces (because Piper loves to get him dirty), night time surface scenery, Banner/Crest Symbolism backsplash, abstract light/dark/red/blue blends.
