Maryam al Shahar
Basic Character Information
First Name: Maryam | Marianne
Middle Name/Initial: al | VI
Last Name: Shahar | Morningstar
Epithet: The Morningstar
Birthdate: December 6th, 1802
Gender: Female
Species/Race/Tribe: Human
Faction: Revolutionary Army
Profession: Archaeologist | Politician | Adventurer
Physical Appearance
Height: 5'7" (human form) | 9' 7" (true form)
Weight: 117 lbs | 370 lbs
Hair Style: In combat Marianne's hair is typically done up in a ponytail or messy bun, while outside of combat she would usually let her hair flow freely.
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Green
Scars: Hoof of the Flying Dragon on her back.
Clothing and Accessories:
When in the field, Mari would typically wear armored dresses, her favorite being blue and white. When not in active duty, given her fascination with pirates, and having been thought to dress modestly, Mari has always been fond of the "pirate look". She likes her clothing loose and simple, consisting primarily of shorts and crop tops. She similarly isn't shy when it comes to her body. She isn't the type to walk around naked, and would in fact find such a woman disgraceful, but she isn't the type to be intimidated by the idea of a unisex bath or sharing a bed with someone of the opposite sex.
Description: Mari possesses a family heirloom that enables her to alternate her size between two states. While in her true state she stands at over 9' (like most within her family), she is capable of making herself shorter so as to better blend in with the common folk.
While full voluptuous figures is common of women in her family, Mari has a very lithe frame for her height, and is easily someone you wouldn't expect to see in the thick of battle. In fact, while in battle she can pull off superhuman feats, outside of battle, she's comedically known to have very poor physical conditioning, so much so that she gets tired running just a few feet.
The Past
Likes: Chess • Shogi • Strategy Games • Pirates • Partying • Horses
Dislikes: The World Government • Sweating • Smell of the Sea • Obscenities
Unique laugh: Joojoojoojoo
Hometown: Unknown
Personality:
• Compassionate | Mari has natural maternal instincts, always looking out for the wellbeing of others, even at the expense of herself. She also admittedly has somewhat old fashion values, believing a woman ought to be a caregiver, and so she loves cooking and cleaning up after her crew even though she doesn't have to.
• Diplomatic | Mari believes in solidarity above all else. She sees violence as a last resort and would much prefer to talk things out beforehand. Even against opponents she knows she can easily beat; she would still strive for some kind of bargain. Even if a deal is more beneficial to the other party, she would accept just to smooth things over.
• Honorable | Mari's noble upbringing wasn't all bad, and over the years would have ingrained her with a great sense of honor and values. She believes greatly in loyalty, duty, responsibility, respect, modesty & honesty.
• Strategic | Mari is always thinking one step ahead. Everything she does, everything she says, even the little minuscule things that nobody thinks about, she plans ahead. She's especially dangerous due to her patience as she has no problem taking small losses so long as she can secure her goals in the long run.
• Nature vs Nurture | Mari has conflicting feelings over who she was born and raised to be by her family & mother versus who she's now trying to be. While she would like to think she's a good person at heart, years of nurturing can lead to her falling into old habits and having her questioning her true intentions.
• Cunning | While her personality and intentions are generally good, Mari is at the end of the day always thinking of things pragmatically. She does care about people, but at the same time, she has no problem using people as a means to an end when necessary.
• Stoic | Control is everything to Mari, and that's especially true when it comes to her emotions. She prefers to keep her feelings close to her daughter, maintaining a cool demeanor in her natural state. Her words and actions can say two completely different things, with her usually remaining stoic even when being nice, and act of kindness to her is rarely personal, but rather simply just doing the right thing.
• Indulgent | While she prefers to maintain a certain level of honor for herself, Marianne is infamous for her indulgent treatment of others. She believes in freedom and would never talk a person out of something, even if she knows it might be bad for them and is always willing to help. Her indulgent personality makes her a lover of parties, adventure, etc. Some have described her as the devil on your back.
- History:
Born "Maryam al Shahar" at birth, Marianne was born into a royal family. Her family itself had a long legacy of being led by some of the most powerful & influential women in the world, with the name "Mary" passed down through the generations from mother to daughter.
Her mother had spent decades scouring the lands and seas, baring sons and daughters with wanton disregard for countless races in hopes of finding the greatest heir possible. From the moment of her birth, her mother knew that she was "her legacy". What she hadn't counted on was having twins. Or, rather, a contingency.
Growing up, Mari's love and idolization for her mother was all encompassing. She did everything like her, spoke like her, walk like her. For this reason, she had always been high motivated, pursuing countless hobbies to garner her mother's approval. Her sister never quite shared such all-encompassing idolization nor dedication, yet even so, her mother loved her for it. Mari never resented her sister for it, it was hard not to love her sister who spread joy whenever she went; still, it was hard for her not to acknowledge that her sister was much more likely to be her mother's chosen successor even if she was the elder twin.
It had taken her sixteen years, but she would eventually come to realize the true nature of her family, the World Government, and by extension, her mother. Although it was perhaps too little too late to undo years of nurturing, Mari would grow distant from her mother. Now old enough to take up court, she would request constant diplomatic missions so that she could be off on extended leaves from her hometown and her mother. During these travels, she would begin looking into possibly finding the countless children her mother had left orphaned over the years. She would also always find time to sneak away to mingle with the common folk, forming a connection with many of them everywhere she went.
Three years ago, she had paid a pirate crew to help her fake her death. She knew better than to trust pirates, but she was fine with the outcome so long as it meant getting away from her family. While the crew did their part in framing her death, they had more nefarious plans for her. She had spent two years enslaved on the ship. Yet, to her it didn't feel like slavery since in those two years she saw more places than she did on any diplomatic mission. And so, even though she was given many opportunities to leave by the captain, she opted to stay.
After a failed pregnancy, she would resolve to go her separate ways from the crew, setting her sights on joining the New Revolutionary Army under the new guise of Marianne Morningstar.

I think this character is acceptable except for the two elephants in the room.
One, you absolutely may not make your first character a celestial dragon, former or otherwise. We have a list of important positions which your character is not allowed to fill (or have filled in the past) without meeting the requirements. This also applies to any NPCs referenced in your history unless my express permission is granted under rare circumstances.
Two, you absolutely may not make up lore such as "celestial dragons can grow in size" as it has no basis in canon or in RevDawn's lore.
If you remove the second elephant entirely and modify the first elephant to be a more obscure royal family (you can make up an island for Marianne's origin), this bio may be closer to being approved.

Born "Maryam al Shahar" at birth, Marianne was born into one of the twenty royal families that founded the World Government.
