Maja Convallaria
Sylvanport Apothecary | Trainer | 27| She/They
General Information:
Maja is a dark skinned woman, with thick curly black hair and deep brown eyes. Freckles are scattered across the bridge of her nose and cheeks below her eyes. Constantly wears either a tired or stoic expression. She is usually dressed in a loose button-up with some kind of botanical design, or an oversized sweater. Her sneakers are worn down, but still in good enough condition to get her where she needs to go.
History:
Maja comes from a line of apothecarists, harvesting and processing the products of nature into usable medicine in the Deprin region. Though as time went on the rise of Salve Co. has lead the charge in the region's most brilliant breakthroughs. Skyrocketing from the realm of medicine and into competitive, advanced technology that allowed a total monopoly of the region. The small apothecary just couldn't keep up at the gargantuan scale. Maja watched as modern medicine flourished and the ancient techniques become relegated to the annals of medicinal history.
For years Maja wanted to learn more and dedicate herself to the craft. She was so profoundly fascinated by the wonders of medicine that she must know how it worked, how it healed, and how the machinations of nature all came together to mend the body. However, when Maja had reached her goal and began medical school she had doubts swirling in her mind. She was extremely intelligent, there was no question of that. Yet the glimmer that once has been radiant in her eyes lost its luster over the semesters.
At first it was only minor things. Misplacing her assignments, or feeling her mind drift during class. She knew these subjects thoroughly of this there was no doubt, but doubt was corroding her willpower. It turned into late or missing assignments, and then into missing classes altogether, and then into no longer responding to her professors, and then deeper and deeper into the dark depths of despair that she had fallen into trying to keep her head above water.
Now she was back at the apothecary. Wedged between two towering apartments and refusing to give up the property. Though, the small alleyway where she resided felt comforting. Turns out, there's still a market for herbal remedies and the sort. Though she cannot legally call it medicine...perhaps there is something else. Maybe a quaint little teashop would work?
Personality:
Maja can come off as sharp, scrupulous, and scathing to anyone she doesn't know. However, this is actually due to her having difficulties interacting with others and understanding non-explicit social cues. She will say something bluntly, and as matter of fact when she is trying to communicate something to another person due to the way she tries to keep everything around her in order. If something goes wrong, she falls into a state of panic and rushes to set things right no matter whos in her way.
In reality, though, Maja deeply cares for those around her and wants to be the best she can for them. Often at the expense of herself. She is generally calm, patient, and attentive to those around her and will try to be a source of comfort to those she trusts.
Highly lethargic unless motivated. Maja will typically be in a resting state or seemingly unresponsive to her surroundings, but when something catches her interest she will switch within seconds into a hyperactive state. Highly attentive and intrigued by the object of her obsession and will seek to learn everything she can about it.
Likes: Tea, Gardening, Books, Sleep
Dislikes: Crowds, Loud/Bright Stimuli
