Name: Cinderella Ashe
Nicknames: "Rill" (Code name)
Fairytale: Cinderella!
Age: 29
Race: Human
Hair Now a dirty blond hanging around her shoulders. Very oily and scraggly, so she mostly keeps it beneath her kerchief.
Eyes: Large blue eyes, perpetually with bags beneath them these days. Her eyesight is going as well.
Height/weight: 5"9 and fluctuating weight
Appearance: At first glance, she is a very plain woman with a sharp, elegant nose, but this is a carefully constructed look she achieves by smudging parts of her face with dirt and fireplace ash. Her body is ropy and lean and her shoulders and upper arms are very muscular because of her work. She usually stoops down and tries to hide this fact.
Attire: Baby blue long sleeved shirt, light gray/blueish overalls, large brown boots (usually she carries these), a white handkerchief tied around her hair and another hanging from her back pocket.
Personality: Cinderella is very practical and resourceful. She has a mind for machines. She can build and make things out of anything. Because of the greed her step-family continually displays, she has learned to keep mostly quiet and to manipulate people. As she nears thirty, Cinderella has become more manipulative, pulling people through hoops without really meaning to. She is also very secretive about herself by default, but not unfriendly. In fact, the reason she is so manipulative is because she knows her own kind nature and would prefer to guard herself.
Sexual preference: Asexual, but romantically has warm feelings for both men and women.
Romantic interests: None Yet, perhaps Charming later.
Occupation: Cinderella works for and lives with her step-mother as a grave robber. She and her younger step-sister go out to freshly-made graves and rob the corpse of its hair, teeth, elbows, the skin on the feet and shoulders, and any valuables it was buried with. Her stepmother then uses the hair for wigs (she is the finest wig maker in town) and the shoulder skin for wig caps. The skin of the feet and the teeth are given to the older step-sister to make shoes from. The step-sisters eat the elbows, the only payment they demands for their tasks.
Lives: In the attic of her Step-Mother's Wig Shop. Step-mother and sisters live in the house connected to it.
Likes: Machines, gears, scavenging, mice, birds, insects.
Dislikes: Being asked questions irritates her deeply.
Pets: None, but she is skilled at bird calls and attracts sparrows with her singing.
History: As is the standard story of Cinderella, her mother died and he father married a traveling wig maker with two daughters. He then took ill and died, leaving his clock shop to his daughter, Cinderella.
Step-Mother wanted to be rid of the girl and tried poisoning her, but Cinderella seemed to be resistant to poisons (really, she just wasn't eating the food).
When she was fifteen, the wig making business took a bad hit because the fashion was no longer for long, free hair but for done-up hairstyles. Step-mother, at a complete loss, send the three girls out to the forest daily to gather berries to make dyes to stiffen the synthetic hair.
One afternoon, the girls were caught in a very heavy downpour. While running in the limited visibility, Cinderella fell into a shallow, unfilled grave where a murdered hunter had been hastily buried. When she at last came home, two hours after her step-sisters, large clumps of the dead man's hair clung to her. The stiffness of the hair gave Step-Mother the inspiration to try using the hair of the dead for her wig-making. It turned out to be a very profitable idea.
At first, all three girls went out robbing graves, but after a failed attempt to rob the grave of a woman with whom a goblin was infatuated, both step-sisters were bitten, infecting them with goblin blood. From then on, the older sister, bitten worse, could not bear fresh air and had to stay where it was dark and damp- the cellar. She did, however, gain a remarkable talent for making shoes from human skin. The younger sister was also able to make shoes somewhat after being bitten. Both sisters also developed a taste for the elbows of dead humans, and would eat nothing else.
Other: Anything else?
