Character Overview

About
Souria is a mouse girl who lives in the city of Arylne, working during the day under Freya Sultana. While she holds a high position in the company, Souria is still just a shy mouse bluffing charisma for the sake of work, partially critical of her demeanor afterwards. Outside of her job, she enjoys watching films and lifting, always looking for something new to do by herself.



Personality
She's an elegant and gentle person, still somewhat shy, so she can be seen as very approachable. Many respect her for being a kind person, for having good taste in films, and especially because she lives a pretty healthy lifestyle mentally and physically. Her advice is like a mother's, but it's good advice. Her voice is very soft spoken out of consideration for others, but also so others can treat her better. There's moments where she is spoken over because of her quiet voice, or told to speak louder, which can be troublesome to her. She's quick in adapting to others' preferences at least. She has a bad habit of thinking out loud. Her mother encouraged her to speak before thinking rather than worrying and not talking, but sometimes the first thing she thinks of can make a bad impression or sound rude. She immediately corrects herself, but some find it funny.


Likes: Windy days, Gene Tierney, Fashion, Romcoms, Workouts
Dislikes: Meetings, Paperwork, Block heels, Horror, Tights

Character Lore

Backstory
Recalling the days where her parents’ film collections towered over her younger self, Souria was always enamored by the worlds within the movies she would watch growing up. Her mother was a film director, her father a costume designer in the film industry, the field where their love first blossomed. When she had a school day off, she’d tag along to her parent’s jobs, seeing the actors of now up close, but in all honesty it was the films of the past that enticed her the most.

Black and white, noir films painting an image of elegance, profound romances, all through the eyes of conventionally attractive actors. This caught her eye, made her fall in love with the idea of romance stories. She knew growing up that life wasn’t truly going to be so theatrical, that you can seek or be found by the one, but she sure didn’t have that in her to reach out to others. Despite the notable presence of her parents, Souria was always a shy mouse by nature. At least there’s the beauty in an extrovert, they can create that bridge between those who are afraid to cross, to meet them on the other side. Souria’s friend over the years was Cafuné. Over time, Souria had a discerning eye for those she’d meet, what actors she’d compare others to and how to play the role of another character to adapt to their personalities. With Cafuné, she had such a crass and unruly personality that made it difficult to compare to any actresses. Even Cafuné’s mother Freya had such a strong personality paired with an elegant look, which at least reminded her of Judy Knaiz.

Diligently finishing her academic years with Cafuné, Souria spent additional years in a university before she finally joined the workforce. Young, the idea still intimidates her, to be surrounded by many wise characters older than her, but she is also fairly intimidated by those younger than her likewise. Lucky, she ended up working under Cafuné’s mother, Freya, knowing she would be strict but a good opportunity to force Souria out of her shyness with time. Yet, what Souria truly looked forward to the most was dressing in business casual, an excuse to subtly experiment with her older fashion sense and become similar to the dolled up actresses she looked up to!

Freya was surprised to see such a difference between the two youngsters she hired, her daughter too underdressed, her friend too overdressed even if she didn’t notice it, but she wasn’t going to stop her if it sure boosted her mood and productivity. As a working adult now, Souria seems to be doing pretty well for the most part. She’s making money to pay for her hobbies, she’s enjoying her time as a young lady, she’s become better at speaking to others. Having taken her parents’ collections with her when she moved out, she continues to watch films most evenings, otherwise stepping out to the gym of her complex. She can’t say she’s exactly lonely either, a common issue initially for the heroines of the films she would watch; Souria feels she’s been able to surround herself with the things she loves.

When she speaks to her friend Cafuné, she still hasn’t been able to pinpoint any resemblances even now. They’ve grown up together, since Cafuné was once a shy, quiet child like her, up to now that Cafuné has become a loud person who only lowers her tone with Souria. While Souria more or less has figured out a steady way to live, Cafuné seems stuck, looking for something. To Souria, there’s no need to give “the best” that the world expects, just to give yourself “your best”. She sees potential in her friend to find something that suits her, not something to mold herself into one day. Perhaps even Souria doesn’t need to fit her into any mold either, always having appreciated the ever-changing form that Cafuné’s created since the beginning.

Character Relationships

Cafuné
"You're yawning, did you sleep enough? 11 hours, you say? That can't be good for you either..."
Childhood friends who initially bonded as shy, anxious children. Even growing out of their younger personalities to some degree, they still respect each others' individual paths greatly and get along. As rude as Cafuné is with others, it's apparent Souria is the only person who she'll speak kindly to, and of. Meanwhile Souria doesn't act any louder, she tends to whisper in her ears often. It's like watching two small children interact, somehow. It's a cute dynamic.

Freya
"Ms, I've finished with the latest reports, your emails have been sorted, and here are the notes from the meeting you asked me to attend for you. Is there anything else you would like me to do? Picking out a birthday present for someone, um, I guess I could take a look with you..."
Souria tries very hard to be a collected worker around Freya, who she's frankly intimidated by as much as she also looks up to her cool aura. Freya doesn't say much to her unless it is work related, so the occasional normal conversations are the conversational curveballs Souria's nervous side loses to. Freya really likes to rely on Souria, especially for decision making.

Arcadia
"Ms. Nadin, good morning. Yes, Ms. Sultana is currently in her office. That's-- you're just going to walk in? Wait, I could let her know first...she's walking ahead so quickly. Ah, she didn't even knock...amazing..."
Arcadia is a face Souria would see in some meetings with other corporations, but never thought anything other than "she's very ladylike", at least until she started seeing her a lotttt more. Souria wouldn't have guessed she was a childhood friend of Freya's (or that her boss even had friends), much less an apparent admirer. Truthfully, Souria is rooting for Arcadia lol. Sometimes Arcadia brings homemade foods and makes a batch specifically for Souria, maybe as an apology for stressing Freya's assistant by interrupting their schedules.
