Love: None
Preference: Males

Status: Single, interested
Personality: Swann, or "Iluni" as she is known, is not very well known by her neighbors. Those that have met her describe her as polite, eloquent, and softspoken, but other than that, she is incredibly reclusive. She tends to hide real emotion behind a mask of amiability, and though she is personable and easy to talk to whenever she is seen outside her home, she actually manages to keep people at arm's length because of her general kindness. It's hard to know what she's really thinking, and no one in Faerieland has yet seen her lose her temper or speak ill of anyone.
EDIT: Now that I have role-played Swann a bit, I've got a better grasp of her personality. It's not that Swann doesn't care about other people - but one cannot claim that she isn't a bit selfish, and perhaps even cowardly. Swann worked her way up from nearly nothing in order to make a life in Faerieland, and that included the stress of having to stomp out her previous identity in Meridell, giving up all the nobility she once had. Thus, she clings to her simple, peaceful life like a dragon to its hoard, and she will go to nearly any lengths to preserve it. Any threat to her current life or possible revelation of her old one will cause her to instantly put up high barriers and defenses, making her even more removed and cold.
Likes: The arts, writing, stormy weather, evening time, candlelight, simple and hearty food, shopping
Dislikes: Politics, selfishness, loud music, sports, fried food, electronic games

History: Swann Agnes Julia was the young daughter of a noble family in Meridell. She was brought up in the normal ways of a lady, though to the consternation of her parents, she had an affinity for something quite unladylike: The stage. More specifically, writing. As a young filly, Swann would often hole herself up in her room and write for hours on end, staining her face with ink as she pored her ideas onto paper. While her parents were supporters of the arts and being well-educated, they would remind their daughter that, as a noble, she had to always be aware of her social obligation and the title she would eventually inherit.
Such titles, however, also often come with danger.
Swann was still a young mare when the Darigan-Meridell War broke out. As Meridellian nobles, she and her family were obviously targets for Kass's forces. Her father joined the fight against Kass, while her mother took over family affairs. When other noble families were fleeing the land, Swann's family remained staunchly by Skarl's side... until the end, when disaster struck.
In the middle of the night, the fine Julia house caught fire. The fire spread much more quickly than naturally possible. Swann would have perished for her family... if not for a mysterious creature that saved her. After the war, when Darigan regained his throne, Swann had her suspicions about the strange creature that burst into her blazing home that night and saved her, but she has never given voice to these ideas.
The death of her family hit Swann incredibly hard. After being taken in by another noble family that was fleeing to Faerieland, Swann became even more quite and withdrawn. When word came that her father had been killed in the war, the Uni stopped talking altogether. She threw herself into her writing, giving voice to the words that would not come from her mouth. The family she was with encouraged her to send her works in to the Neopian Times and other papers. Gradually, Swann's works - under the pen name "Iluni" - became known throughout Faerieland.
When the war finally finished and the exiled families began to return to Meridell, Swann said the first words she'd spoken in months: "I will never go back." She decided to stay in Faerieland and continue her writing. Slowly, and with the help of many kind faeries and pets in Faerieland, Swann was able to establish her own small home and make her living through her writing.
Now, Swann is a grown mare. She is known only as "Iluni" in Faerieland, where she makes a modest living writing plays for local theaters (which are slowly gaining attention outside of Faerieland), and she seems to be content with these current state of affairs, and since her first arrival in Faerieland, has yet to step hoof outside of its borders... and staunchly keeps her face turned away from Meridell.

Song
Luna (Dream Mode)
By Eurobeat Brony
Click to Listen
For a thousand years
I've waited here for you
Waiting every night
For I thought you were the
answer to my life
Days turned into years
and into centuries
Patience had to fade
Don't you see that there is
vengeance in my eyes?
Luna won't you cry for me
I'm as lonely as I've ever been
I am forced back into the start
Is there any way to fix a broken heart?
Infinite despise
and endless jealousy
Bottled in my soul
Has erupted as I'm
tearing through the skies

Swann! Had this character for awhile now, but she's gone through quite a bit of change since she last had a bio. The song "Luna (Dream Mode)" I'll admit isn't perhaps the most accurate song, technically, but for some reason listening to it just makes me think of Swann. (Or Iluni now, I guess! lol) ANYWAY. Hope you like a new spin on my playwright Uni! ^^
And for as long as her history is, Swann is actually really underdeveloped and in serious need of RP. SO YES RP WITH HER PLZZZ. 83
