Appearance: Lynette surely has the looks one would expect from an upper class debutant. Her parents have groomed her into quite the young lady though luckily good genetics helped to create the lovely young woman Hortence has made a point of perfecting, much in the same ways she was. Her hair is always kept to a longer length, perfect to be curled or put up into elegant designs when need be. When she can get away with it, however, she prefers to leave it down and allow it to just be. The typically pin straight locks are a medium brown hue that only has some slightly lightened strands through it, natural definition from time spent in the sun. Slightly darker eyebrows are kept well groomed but not thinned out too much.

Her face is a little on the slender side, long and oval. Plain brown eyes, that she seems to get rather annoyed with are actually a little on the larger side, giving her a doe eyed expression from time to time. Long and thick lashes, probably the one saving grace in her opinion, surround her eyes. While her nose may not be a small dainty thing like the rest of her person, it doesn't detract from her rather classic beauty. Her top lip is a little on the thin side but her bottom lip seems to more than make up for it with its plumpness.

A strict diet has always been in the Maroc household, keeping Lynette thin and trim. With little hard work ever having to be done by the young woman, she remains to be simply thin and dainty. Little muscle is built on her frame but she has little bulk to add to her frame either. She is surely a petite and dainty young woman with soft hands though the bright colors of paint always under her nails will forever be an irritation to her mother. And while she is still young, she is already starting to show signs of having child bearing hips and a decent sized bust.

Lynette appears to be predominately right handed though has been known to dabble with her left hand while painting from time to time. Though, the left handed painting started mainly to irritate her mother further about not just having paint under the nails on her right hand but her left hand as well. But while her hands may not always be in pristine condition, her wardrobe is. Only clothing of the highest quality and fashion cover her body and fill her wardrobe. Rarely is she seen in anything but a full get up with all the layers expected of her. And though so may not enjoy the process, Lynette has gotten rather used to and it and much prefers it over anything else.

• 1885, age 18; Her worst fears come true. Clarice has followed her to Hogsmeade despite the warnings from Nox and Stefano. He begins his favorite emotional torture of Lynette and sends her letters along with little tokens, things to further torture Lynette.

Sample Roleplay Post:

• Liliana knew exactly where to go to find her father. He wasn't the most social of men so she knew he'd stick into an area where he could remain next to Vymiath. Even though they could keep a constant connection and talk randomly, she knew her father preferred to be close to his large bronze when he was uncomfortable. The green tinged bronze had been K'ran's longest true constant. Vivian would have been a close second had she still been alive and the whole Weyr knew all too well that K'ran and Liliana had spent that past several turns barely on speaking terms. Despite their more silent times, Liliana still knew her father well enough to know what he would do. With that in mind, Liliana made her way easily through the crowds and in the direction of the field on the edge of the Gather where the dragons could land and then rest once their riders had wandered off into the fray of people. It didn't take long for her to spot the large green tinged bronze though and once she was away from the crowds of people, she was able to make an easy beeline straight for her father and his bronze. It also looked as though her own onyx had found them and was resting near the large bronze, her own green firelizard and Liliana's rose and copper curled up on her back. The three firelizards stood out rather brightly against the masked onyx's back but Liliana could see that all three were fast asleep.
  
  And you will disturb their slumber the moment you set those eggs with your father and Vymiath. Nymerth interjected rather simply as she caught sight of her rider approaching the small group. The shift of the black head didn't go unnoticed by K'ran and Vymiath and before Liliana knew it, seven pairs of eyes were watching her come up. It was almost a daunting realization if Liliana didn't already know all the eyes focused on her. "Hello father," she said softly once within speaking distance only to receive a single brow raised and a nod from the Weyrsecond. Obviously he already knew she was up to something. "I come baring gifts," she said pleasantly before settling the leather pouch in her father's hands and one in front of Vymiath. She had actually waited just long enough to where the eggs were rocking rather strongly in her grasp before seeking them out, knowing it had to be timed just right or she'd end up with two more firelizards of her own. And we surely don't want that. Nymerth added a snort for emphasis but only caused her to receive an annoyed squawk from Liliana's Lina.
  
  "Liliana," K'ran said rather gruffly to his daughter only for his dark gaze to focus back on the egg at the sound of a loud crack. The tall man sighed as he shot one last glare to his daughter. "Did you at least bring me something to feed the beast surely to come from this egg?" he questioned her only to be handed a kabob of wherry meat. The bronzerider glanced to his bronze who was staring rather intently at his own shaking and cracking egg. Vymiath spared a quick look to Liliana and snorted rather rudely at her, only causing the woman to snicker and step away from the bronze pair as it became apparent the eggs were well on their way to hatching
  
  Vymiath's was the first to finally break free from its confines. At first it wasn't completely obvious what the firelizard was actually going to be. It almost appeared to be a blue gray sort of onyx, his main coloring looking a bit darker from the egg slime. It wasn't until the pixie was fully free from the egg and already proving to be quiet the chatty boy as he started to creel and chatter to those around him that they noticed the paler blue underbelly. His gaze seemed to turn rather abruptly to Vymiath, however as he caught scent of the wherry meat kabob Vymiath now had dangling from his own mouth. He squawked rather loudly up to Vymiath before darting up to perch on the tip of the bronze's snout. Peering cautiously into Vymiath's eye, he quickly turned back to the kabob and grabbed it with his front paws and began to tug at it in an attempt to take the whole thing himself. Willing to grant the blue's wish, Vymiath loosened his hold on the kabob only for the weight of the thing to bring the blue crashing to the ground with it. Instead of receiving an annoyed shriek from him, the blue seemed to laugh with something of a titter before feasting on the meat. Liliana and K'ran couldn't help but laugh as well, especially when they saw the almost doting look in the all too serious bronze's eyes.
  
  K'ran's own laughter was short lived though as a yelp interrupted it. The firelizard within his own egg had knocked off a jagged piece of shell that seemed to jab into the man's thumb. Instinctively, the bronzerider brought the injured thumb to his mouth to suck on it and stop the flow of blood. A bright blue shining head stuck out of the hole from the broken piece of shell and glared up at K'ran, letting out a whole slew of sounds rather loudly. It quickly became obvious that this hound was to be a loud and almost obnoxious type. Viridian chattered from her perch on K'ran's shoulder, surely chastising the newly hatched firelizard for his unseemly behavior. It only resulted in the sapphire screeching even louder as he fought to free himself from the shell's confines. Eventually the strong movements from the firelizard made the rest of the shell crumble away to reveal the darker back and wings and a lighter and brighter body and legs to match the coloring of his head. To shut the creature up, K'ran quickly shoved a largish sized chunk of meat into his wide open maw before shooting a glare to his daughter. "You are in so much trouble," he said to her but while his tone was far from joking, there was a slight twinkle in the man's eyes that few rarely saw.
