.:Personality:. Laurelin is a gypsy so she knows the lands very well. She knows how to manoeuvre through the forests with ease. Usually undetected if she needs. Because of this lifestyle she was brought up in she never had the feeling of the typical having grown up in a home. The land has been her home and it is common to her. For Laurelin hasn't really known any different. Although she has always been interested in how the rest of the land lives. With this also comes with that it is quite alien to her as she lives quite separate to them. Though as she moved through the lands, Laurelin had become to find small villages through the years. Getting a taste of the different cultures. As she has always loved music and Laurelin is a very creative kind. She can be seen in the small taverns as if she was herself a local and enjoying the entertainment. Dance and sing. Sometimes being the entertainment, From a young age she was taught how to hunt. Though Laurelin doesn't just hunt unless it is needed. For every life to her is precious. When she kills an animal, its to survive. She has an eagle that tracks with her called Nuri. The eagle is trained to come when called and needed, but it is generally free. So its not always seen with Laurelin. Laurelin loves the life of the gypsies, but she from a young age. Laurelin has found from time to time to seek her independence. Which is not always seen as a good thing from the other gypsies. Which is why she is generally alone when visiting villagers and travelling alone through different parts of the land. It was when her parents left that she had found more of a need to break away from the Gypsies. For how much she felt she was a part of them and it was her blood. There was just something she needed that wasn't there. She really is a free spirit. Though she knows the land quite well, she has a need to see more. Even if certain parts can scare her and are unknown to her. She also just loves life and seeks fun. Taking risks. She has been known to jump of cliffs into water. She loves water especially as she was born upon the seas. She is also quite an excellent swimmer. As much as she could be back then. She also can paddle a boat, but is seen more in the water. She is generally a nice natured girl. Welcoming of any kind of race or people. Although being a free spirit she isn't easily held down.

Tell stories and poems. This is what Laurelin was brought up with and its sensually flows in her blood. Her creativity is in most aspects of her life. Though this has also driven her need to find more, find it through other cultures. She finds small villages quite humbling. Although she has not visited many of the larger ones or kingdoms. She will soon.

| ~ • ~ | History | ~ • ~ |
.:Birthplace:. At sea .:Family:. Father: AMILCAR (Departed) Mother: EVITA (Departed) Grew up with gypsies .:Occupation:. Bard/Gypsy .:Current Location of Residence:. Everywhere .:History:. Laurelin was born at sea. Some distance from Britain. Her parents are what you call Sea Gypsies. They sail from land to land as did their parents before them and their parents before them. Also seeking to find more in the world and not a kind that stay in one place for to long. Her parents are a mix of races really. Mostly from Spain and Portugal area. Laurelin didn't see much of the life at sea. For her parents wanted her to grow up in a more one place kind of life style. They wanted Laurelin to sort of have a choice of how she was wanted to live, but they would wait until Laurelin is at a right age to ask. They chose Britain to raise their daughter. They had travelled with other seas gypsies which when they landed at shore. Some continued with them to live in Britain, where the rest continued sailing the ocean. Although her parents had in mind of raising her on land, they didn't want to completely leave their life style as gypsies. It was after all common to them.
So with the group they had soon found other Gypsies that lived in britain. Which is where Laurelin became to grow as a Gypsy herself. There was never one place they stayed, but camped in a decent size group across the country. Laurelin has probably moved place to place, from north to south. They generally stay within the forests and living of more natural way of surviving. Staying well clear of the kingdoms and wanting a much more quiet lifestyle. Where it is just them and the land. Though they have known to come across the much small villagers, but not a lot of interaction. Laurelin as she got older sort to be more interested in the villages and found new cultures. Finding the entertainment and fun that could be had there. Laurelin also found herself seeking a little more independence as she came into her teens. Though it wasn't for that long. Then the day came when the sea came calling for her parents. Laurelin was about 16 at the time, her parents knew she was old enough and could now begin to seek her own course through life. They gave Laurelin the choice to either come with them or to stay in Britain. It was a hard choice, for she felt home in Britain and she felt there was still so much of it to see. So they agreed she would stay. They gave her a cross that was handed down from a relative long deceased to remember them and their faith. That they would always be with her no matter where they were in the world. Laurelin stayed with the group of gypsies she lived with for the next couple of years. She left them from time to time as she had always done, but finding herself leaving for longer periods of time. It was maybe that last bit of holding on to her parents that she even returned. Until she decided it was time to see the land on her own. Laurelin still sees the others from time to time, but she does not follow them anymore. As Laurelin seeks a path all her own. Its now just a matter of where it will lead. For Laurelin knows these lands so well, she knows almost every rock and plaid of grass. Then there's a vast part of these lands, Laurelin doesn't know. It is intriguing to her, but also frightening at the same time. Almost like two worlds. The gypsies and the non-gypsies.
