GENERAL APPEARANCE
- Apolline is the very definition of prima ballerina figure. She is within height and weight standards for most ballet companies, and has a buildup of muscle thanks to years of training. She isn't very curvaceous, but her good looks make up for it. Apolline has been described as everything from cute to sexy. Her eyes are an auburn colour, with different lighting changing what her eye colour could be seen as. Her mouth is small and plump, with rosy lips and a sweet smile. Apolline's hair is long and a dark raven colour. She keeps it loose most of the time, but puts it in a
Typically, Apolline tries to dress smart and professionally. She wears expensive clothing, and is clean and well groomed. She prefers to wear loose, light clothing, and wouldn't be caught dead in any thick or heavy clothing. She likes floral prints, and manages to keep a kind of "modern day fairy" look. She wears minimal makeup, and only wears what she needs to. Overall, she dresses for comfort and general smart appearance.

Currently editing this part! (it's a bit rubbish sorry ; u ;)
Most people's first impression of Apolline is that she is someone reserved and polite, who isn't afraid of hard work. This impression doesn't change much as people become closer to her. Apolline keeps to herself, and only really speaks to people she doesn't know when she needs to. This makes it difficult for her to make friends. She isn't shy though, no, she's just quiet. Starting conversations are easy, she just doesn't want to or see the need to. At the core of her being, Apolline is a very generous person, and always thinks about others before herself. She will use up all of her energy to ensure people around her are happy and comfortable until she can't keep any energy for herself. Sometimes people use this against her. She tries not to let it happen, but because she just wants other people to be happy, it's hard for her to do that. She also spends a lot of energy working. No matter what it is she's doing, Apolline will put in 110% into it. She puts the most energy into her ballet. She's ambitious, and wants to work hard to get to the top. She spends an absurd amount of time training, a habit she kept from her youth. Her upbringing means Apolline is very disciplined. She likes routine, and sticks to her daily one as much as possible. Apolline is very strict with herself, and is very good at maintaining good habits and kicking old bad ones. Some habits she can't kick of course.
Apolline is what most would call refined. She's the kind of person who has perfect posture, can tell what kind of wine she's drinking, and knows which spoon t use in a fancy restaurant. People often mistake her for being stuck up, which she hates. Apolline has a tendency to keep secrets. This has many effects on her. Sometimes she withholds information from other people for no real reason other than she doesn't feel quite comfortable with telling them, even if it isn't even that important. She is especially tight about keeping secrets about herself. This means she has a tendency to lie a bit, even if she's not the best at telling them. Apolline isn't the best at socializing, but she tries her hardest, and always thinks twice before speaking. She can keep a pokerface pretty well when she wants to, but sometimes her emotions get the better of her.
- ✦CLASSICAL, TECHNO AND HIP HOP MUSIC - Apolline has a love for French and Russian composers, as her grandmothers taught her, but she also loves modern hip hop and techno. She can jump from Debussy to Nicki Minaj to a remix of both of the above in a moment.
✧DANCING - Just like her friends, Apolline loves dancing more than life. She dances every day, and dances when she feels happy, angry, or sad. She lives and breathes dancing.
✦TCHAIKOVSKY - Tchaikovsky is her favourite composer, and grew up listening to his pieces. She has ten different ballet pieces set to The Waltz of The Flowers, and dreams of one day being Odette in Swan Lake.
✧BREAKFAST FOODS - Apolline loves breakfasts, and she's seen a lot of them. She loves English Breakfasts with baked beans, bacon and sausages, she loves pancakes with maple syrup and butter. She can cook pretty great ones too.
✦DANCING SHOES - Apolline has an appreciation for dancing shoes. She only ever wears pointe shoes and sneakers, but she has dusty pairs of tap shoes and jazz shoes regardless. What shoes a dancer wears can greatly affect the performance, and Apolline understands that. Apolline has gone through a lot of pointe shoes, and has a "pointe shoes coffin", a box which has every pair of pointe shoes she's broken and/or grown out of.
- ✦HEAT - Apolline doesn't handle high temperatures well, and doesn't like to wear thick clothing.
✧SHARING INFORMATION - Apolline gets very nervous when telling people something about herself, but her level of nerves and vulnerability varies depending on what kind of information it is. Telling people she likes Tchaikovsky is fine, but giving out her phone number to someone she doesn't know well makes her feel queasy. She feels vulnerable when telling people things about her that they could use to harm her.
✦COMEDY MOVIES - Apolline has never been a big fan of comedy movies. Of course there are exceptions, but most humor shown in comedy movies just isn't her personal sense of humor. She prefers dramas and foreign films personally.
✧SOCIAL MEDIA - Linking in with her reluctance to share information, Apolline doesn't care for social media. She only ever gets accounts for the messaging systems so she can talk to people for free. Instagram's alright for her though. She has a pretty nice ballet themed account up. Apart from that, she's nigh impossible to track down on the internet.
✦PEARS - Apolline does not like pears at all. They make her feel ill, her vision blurs and she wants to gag every time she smells or tastes them. She despises pears.

- ✦BALLET - Despite her doubts, Apolline is incredibly good at ballet. Years of training have paid off, and she could get to wherever she wanted in the ballet world if she just believed in herself more.
✧COOKING - Despite growing up never having to cook for herself, Apolline is skilled in cooking. She's especially good at breakfasts.
✦LANDSCAPE PAINTING - Just like her ballet, Apolline was taught how to paint by her grandparents, and she excelled in landscape paintings, but her ballet was given more attention. Recently she has been painting a lot.
✧SEWING - Although it isn't always her job, Apolline can sew to a good extent. She can repair small tears in clothing, and she can darn socks as well. Those aren't the only things she can do, but they're the ones she does often.
✦ACTING - Although Apolline isn't Oscar standard, she can portray an emotion and carry across a story on stage wonderfully.
FLAWS
- ✦COMPULSIVE SECRET KEEPER - Apolline compulsively withholds information for no reason. She can keep secrets to her grave, and it's very difficult to weasel a secret out of her.
✧BAD AT SOCIALIZING - Apolline may be a great friend sure, and she tries her hardest to say the right things and not be insensitive, but that doesn't mean she's great at talking to people. There have been many a time she has completely bumbled over words and messed up an entire conversation because she's just bad at making small talk.
✦ANXIETY - Apolline has an anxiety disorder, and struggles with it daily. Dancing helps her keep it under control, and the only reason she can perform is because it's dance. If she were performing anything else she wouldn't be able to perform.
✧SIGHT READING - Despite studying piano for two years, Apolline cannot read sheet music for peanuts. She can't be handed a piece of sheet music and asked to do something with it. The only thing she'll do with it is put it on the fire.
✦SELF DOUBT - Apolline doubts herself immensely, and doesn't believe in herself nearly enough.
FEARS
- ✦HER BABUSHKA - Though Apolline says she respected her grandmother, she was truly scared of her.
✧PEARS - Just thinking about pears makes her feel incredibly ill.
✦ATYCHIPHOBIA - Apolline is afraid of failure. She doesn't want to go all her life without feeling successful with how she spent it.
✧INFORMATION BEING USED AGAINST HER - Apolline is so reluctant to share information because she's scared that someone she trusts will take the secrets and truths and everything they know about her and will use it to hurt her.
✦BEING MANIPULATED - Apolline knows she's too kind for her own good, and doesn't want to be manipulated. She has the fear that someone will take one of her qualities and twist it until she becomes a tool for them to use.

- Apolline's mother Vasilisa was a daughter of a famous prima ballerina, and a skilled composer. Her father Edmond was an aspiring entrepreneur, who became extremely successful when he made a surprising deal with a couch cushion company. He too was the child of a prima ballerina, and his father was a painter. After multiple sweet and
When Darya was 4, she was taught ballet by her grandmothers. This tradition continued with Apolline, who was a promising student from the start. Darya hated ballet, she didn't want to do it at all, but Iskra wanted both of her beautiful, promising granddaughters to be perfect, prima ballerinas like she was. She never said it but she had their entire lives planned out before they were born. Darya wanted to be a painter, not like her dedushka, but a modern artist. One that splattered paint across a canvas at a hundred miles an hour. Iskra wouldn't have any of it. While Apolline was the perfect daughter, Darya argued with her family on the daily. When Apolline was 8, and her sister was 15, her sister took a reasonable amount of money and ran away with her
