Name Meaning: Iliana means "bright" and Horace means "Hour in Time". So together, it comes out to be "Bright Hour in Time" ^^v
Character Position: Sailor Aion, Senshi of time
Birthdate and Age / Zodiacal Sign: April 5th, making her an Aries and she is the ripe old age of 17.
Physical Details:
Iliana stands at 5'4" with pale red hair and violet eyes. When you see her, you'd think of a child. Her eyes are huge and always have a somewhat mystified look in them, like she's always seeing something for the first time. Her hair reaches her shoulder blades but she keeps it pulled up in a shaggy ponytail held back with a simple band.
Her skin is rather pale, but not sickly. She carries herself like a deer, and even runs like one, with graceful leaps and bounds instead of the more traditional manner of just running (sorry, I've been watching Bambi a lot lately ^^;;). She stands with her shoulders back and her chin up, never showing shame.
Her clothes are loose and hide her rather pudgy figure. She's neither fat nor skinny, but in that area between the two that is considered 'healthy'. She has a love for the color yellow. She'll find a way to sneak yellow into everything she wears even if it's just a bit of trim or a belt. She doesn't wear much, however, because it doesn't go well with her coloring. As far is fighting goes, Lana wouldn't stand a chance against one of the weakest earthbound people. She hasn't got the physical strength to pose any serious threat, and she's rather slow in closed in spaces.
As far as an astral senshi goes, she?s pretty, but nothing worth writing home about. Her slightly chunky body type doesn?t seem to bother anyone except her mother and grandmother, and they?re real concern is all the money she eats them out of. Most people think of her as cute, not really dating material, more like a little girl.
Blood type: B
Gemstone: Diamond, especially yellow ones (yellow is her favorite color and diamond is the stone for April)
Likes:
Sundials--Well, watches aren't exactly invented yet right? She needs something to tell time on. They are also very useful when she needs to time the bread that she?s supposed to be watching so that it won?t burn this time and get her in trouble.
The smell of bread baking--She works in a bakery, this is pretty much all she smells all day. The smell reminds her of her mother and grandmother and is somewhat comforting.
Fresh fruit--Every morning she gets up, goes out and picks some fresh berries or fruit to eat with breakfast. Her favorite thing in the world is a fresh roll with fruit. In fact, her diet mainly consists of fruit and bread products.
Explaining things to others--She doesn't consider herself the smartest person in the world, so she's excited every time she gets a chance to share something she does know to someone else. This is usually limited to small children or others without an education, but occasionally she finds someone interested in the maintenance of the shop.
Dislikes:
Water--Anything deeper then two feet is a no no. Iliana never did get the hang of swimming and has had a few close calls at the pond. (she won't dare fight anyone whose powers center around the wet stuff).
People who think they know more then her--Usually because they do know more then her. Regardless, it's simply a matter of them having more information at their disposal, not intelligence.
Scrubbing dishes--One of the downsides of working in a bakery. It takes a lot of work cleaning all of the equipment needed to produce enough batter for the day, and then there are the stacks upon stacks of pans that the baking was done in. The three women take turns performing this task, but Iliana rather not do it at all.
Being so readable--Just because she can't tell a lie doesn't mean she wouldn't like to every now and then. Throughout her childhood she stayed in trouble because of her inability to tell a little white lie.
Running--Iliana is not a physical person. Her mother and grandmother think that she would be a bit more mellow if she spent time running and otherwise being active.
Hobbies:
Following Ide around--The best way to get a person to like you is to spend time with them right? Right? Okay, so it is annoying, but Ide is a very interesting person in Iliana's eyes and the determination she shows in her avoidance of Lana is what makes her want to try harder.
Talking to Granny--Iliana wants to learn, and the best way to do that is to listen. These are some of the few times when she'll let someone else talk without interruption. The two sit together and talk about anything from the past to the present.
Running the store--While it isn't really a hobby, it takes a lot of her time. Besides the regular work, she does a bit extra to give the place a cheery feeling to it. Fresh wreaths of flowers hang from the walls, and she takes the time to display the fresh bread and pastries in a pleasing way.
Picking wild berries--she loves them on the rolls she eats for breakfast, so spends a bit of time every day looking for them. She prefers strawberries but will also get some blueberries or raspberries.
Building friendships--Lana seems to be on a lifelong mission to gain popularity. She doesn't spend all of her time trying to make friends, a lot of it goes into trying to make current friends like her even more.
Practicing magic (duh)--What she does when she should be running. Iliana knows a few spells and whenever she sees someone using one she doesn't know she'll ask how it's done and then try it out for a while.
