The sun was high in the sky as she stared outward, a stark, feminine figure outlined against a wash of endless blue. She had always known she was fierce, beautiful - easily placed into a category that was too oft forgotten. Oh, the beautiful ones. They could yell and scream and rage to the sky for all their worth, but again and again would be remembered for their allure, their comeliness. Rarely did their actions generate notice, save for some. Manon cared little about what others said about her: they could say she was pretty, stunning, artistic - or they could say she was brash, rude and ugly. Neither mattered. She was what she was. And she would be what she was made to be... whatever that meant. A slow sigh slipped from between her silken lips as she watched the ever-moving water, silver lashes low and brushing her sharp, angular cheekbones. Beautiful indeed.
Thoughts moved ceaselessly through her handsome head, swimming and swirling and never stopping long enough for her to consider them. Her whole life, she had sought power - but power over what, or whom she did not know. Even the reasons were beyond her. Love had escaped her, though she knew she was yet young, and though she found vast pleasure in pretty girls (and very occasionally, rough men), she had no attachment to anyone living or dead. Well, perhaps Swallow. Perhaps Saker. Thoughts of her siblings roused a spark, extinguished quickly underneath her fierce brow - they were gone, now. Far, far away. She wasn't even entirely sure Helovia was the same world she had been born into. Another sigh whispered over her full, sensual lips, opalescent eyes dipping back to her salt laden water as if to find answers, or even questions. The day was long, and she moved very little.
