Humility is nothing else but a right judgment of ourselves

 It had been three days and forty four phone calls when Vincent and Wangari let the remains of their vain hope about Louise’s departure go.  ( More ic info )

 

Ooc
- Hiatus for Lou. Our mod told me I can't play again until I finished Shameless. I don’t feel like I’m doing her justice and I want more for her. Thinking about a month, maybe sooner. It has to get worse before it can get better (I’m the worst for my characters, oml). In case people want to play with this (I'll play the parents for a day), here are some hints 
  -mama siren and other tuned in sirens could pick up a trace of heavily glamoured up siren all around Lou's cottage
  - the evil plant on her night stand wasn’t the only one, underneath the windows are loads of hallucinatory, create paranoia, become-addicted beauties
  - everything’s still there
  - the letter she left behind goes up in flames as soon as someone magic inclined touches it

 Come find me here for 

• Relationships, shared pasts (first kiss? Big Decisions about which education/job, coming out, anything), shared hobbies/dislikes
• Did Lou help your char out with parents'/people's/lover's problems? 
• Or is Lou the problem? (I'm definitely picturing her as the fairy godmother of Siren Cove but EVERYONE needs to be disliked/have non-fans imo) 
• Because she's older (the oldest) I'm up for holding family secrets your char doesn't (yet) know of.
• Besides this I'm ALLLL UP FOR dramatics. Already building a Sad, Sad story and I'd love to have more hiding behind her armor of Let Me Help You So You Won't Ask.

Besides that Lou has three brothers that are up for grabs, in case of need. 

• Pierre is the oldest at 37, but he's very naive when it comes to magic, trying to use it to his advantages. He's gay, but not quite comfortable with the idea
• Armand is 31 and the traveler of the four. Louise's always a bit jealous about how he successfully managed to escape her parental clutches
• Michel is 29 and the Benjamin of the family, cuddled by everyone. Michel always tells Lou to relax and don't act like she's Atlas. He's teaching Anthropology somewhere else in the country. 

CHARACTER NAME: Louise (Lou) "The Peace Keeper" Abasi.

CHARACTER AGE: 36

BACKGROUND & HISTORY: The Abasi are possibly one of the few black families in Siren Cove. They have been around for three generations, proving time and again that they were part of the fabric that held the town together. And not only because all of them had professions in law and justice. This family simply manages to be the Switzerland of the town.
Louise (her mother has a fondness for everything French) has three brothers: two younger, one older. All of them decided on an early age that when there was a fight, you went to her to get it cleaned up. Louise has an instinct for what's right and just. No wonder she's working as a judge right now.
For a long time Louise thought that career was the only thing that could satisfy a person. With her pro-deo work on the side she was sure she was helping other people in the best possible way, while the big financial cases helped society on a bigger scale. But five years ago she got in an accident, and ever since she has been unsure about the question 'Is there more?'. So instead of working 15 hour days, she works 20 hours a week and tries to make a better place of Siren Cove, her hometown.

PERSONALITY: Louise is so calm and patient that dumb people would call her dull and slow. She wants to know every side of the situation, won't ever make a rash decision or explode emotionally. Besides having an endless curiosity she can also be stubborn as hell, and can't be impressed by money, names or threats. The only things that makes her giggly and "thaw" are bunnies (she's looking for some for pets), monster/Kaiju films and horoscopes. She's a steady factor, a nice person without being a bore. She's a bit vain about her looks though, if she's outside the court she likes to dress up.

OPINION OF THE RIVALRY: Louise thinks it's very childish and a bit disappointed that both parties can't come sit with her to make an end of it.

LIFESTYLE: Great-grandfather Abasi bought a piece of plot when he arrived and the family house has been there ever since. Louise lives in a small cottage near the plot's boundaries, private but still sharing. Her house looks luxurious, but not shiny and glitz. She's about quality and originality, not showing off.
She likes to go watch a film, buy books as gifts to others and have lunches at cafés/restaurants.

HUMAN, WITCH, OR SIREN: Human. She knows, although it's in a passive way. She knows, but doesn't really count it in/believes.
