ProlinCharacter type: Staff Appearance: Prolin's dark, slightly curly hair might soften her rather thin face more if she let it grow out a little. Instead though, she keeps it cropped at chin length in a cut that ddid *nothing* for her. She has a tendency to dress such a severely. Uniform-like grey clothes are smart enough but as her mother points out rather despairingly, they do *nothing* for her figure. She's a tall thin girl, with a rather pinched looking face - those who don't like her comment that she looks like she's permanantly sucking on something sour. Her eyes are a sharp grey-blue, and seem to dart about contantly, looking for things to do. Personality: Prolin has little time for humour and idle chatter. There is work to do and a position to keep working towards. She is a hard worker and expects the same of others. History: Prolin, as her cotholder mother keeps pointing out to her, is never going to find herself a good husband if she doesn't change that attitude. Doesn't the girl realise that she's oldest child, and that, shaffit all Proda wants grandbabies? Prolin doesn't want to pause to make grandbabies though. If she can keep on working the way she is, and impressing the Headwoman enough, one day she could be Headwoman herself. The girl was first noticed at the age of twelve, trying to organize the other kitchen children to work more efficiently. From that point onwards she was watched, and at fifteen, when most girls her age would be thinking about marriage, she was offered a place as Headwoman assistant instead. She's a bossy young madam, and can get very frustrated and bitchy when things aren't going right. Efficiency she can handle, but working with people is something she's having more problems yet. She hasn't worked out yet that there are ways to get people to work without making them resent you, that there is a safe middle ground between ordering people around and letting them get away with murder. That said, she is good at getting things done though. People may not always like her, but they *do* respect her. Except for her mother, who is still convinced that at some point she's going to drop this Headwoman business and marry and settle down like a good girl. And at the rate she's going, what man will have her? She's already 20 for Faranths sake - that's practically an old maid in Proda's books, and it's not as if the girl's particularly pretty or nice. If she doesn't start looking soon she'll *never* find a husband! Loud arguments result every time Prolin visits the cothold, with shouting and bad behaviour on both sides.
