“I often refer to the world as a cat, loving up to you for a moment, and the next, clawing at your throat.”
Name: Argenta Smith
Nickname (optional): N/A
Title(optional): None
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Asexual
Role: Cowardly Knight
How long have you had this role? Argenta has (was would be the correct term I guess) been a knight for around a year, she has had many fallings out and despite her training, did not seem to be ready for the tasks she would have to endure.
What is your family motto?
“Stick together till the end”
This motto is a very simple but straightforward one, her family has lived in the same house for generations, and many of her older siblings still live in the house they were born in.
Appearance: Argenta is skinny, some would even call her a piece of wheat if they wanted to state the obvious. However her she has muscles that only show when she flexes them, so she isn't just skin and bone. Her face is very circular and she has plump cheeks, giving off the effect that she is very childish, which leads to many people underestimating her. When she smiles she seems to get a twinkle in her eye, something that truly screams magic, even though she has none of her own. She is tall, around 5’8. Her arms are also abnormally long, giving her a misshapen look in a way. Despite her appearance though, she is strong and can lift things with greater ease than some other people in the village who fit the part better.
Argenta has a dark complexion, her face riddled with freckles and blemishes that many people have no idea got there. She has one scar above, or through I should say to be more accurate, her right eye, which has caused her to go blind in places that are too dark and too light, and which makes her vision blurry in places that aren’t either of those, which is why she opts for an eye-patch most of the time. Even though one of her eyes is a milky white colour the other one is a dark brown colour, and it looks like she has a ring of gold outlining her pupil. her hair is long, reaching down to about her hips, her hair is also very straight and neat. She has bangs that frame her face and that are the only curvy part of her appearance. Her hair is a dark brown colour, only a few shades darker than the colour of her skin.
Argenta goes simple with clothing when she has to, preferring a white dress to an extravagant orange one. She wears a white shirt, it nearly fits perfectly on her frame, however, it is a bit stretched out, seeing as she has worn it since she was a small child. Along with the shirt, she usually wears brown trousers, they are loose around her legs and seem to crinkle up when no one is looking.
Personality: Argenta is a polite person always saying “May I?” Or, “Please?” rather than demanding. Many people would say that that would be her downfall as a knight, being too polite never helped anyone fight criminals or do whatever else she was expected to do. Argenta is also very gentle, never to hurt a fly. It’s a wonder how she was knighted in the first place, what type of person in their right mind would ever choose a scarecrow to protect them, well a farmer would, so maybe that’s the appeal of it all.
At a young age, Argenta had anger issues, becoming fuming mad if anyone did something against her. Argenta is antisocial though so she would just become mad at herself, instead of telling the entire world, “That’s my toy and not yours!”, she would say, “None of this would’ve happened such as didn’t bring it here,”. This has led her to hate herself, a source of fire on those cold, harsh days.
Argenta is a very intelligent girl, seeing as since she didn’t have many friends it led her to think more. She prefers the company of books over anything else, a constant in the never-ending world of life. She can put a puzzle together easily, and she never needed a clear example to do so, maybe it’s due to her lack of creativity, or just because she will never stray too far from the path she set herself out for.
If Argenta were to have anything she would either have OCD, or Anxiety, for she is scared of everything if given a reason to be, maybe it’s because she is gullible and growing up in such a large family, never knew how to think for herself. Always putting the needs of others, (at least the ones she knows of) first if needed. You could tell her that a fly would suck her brain out and if in the right circumstances, she would be terrified, even if it wasn’t true in the slightest.
Argenta was never described to be a natural kind of girl, her legs were long, yes, but they weren’t long with muscles and the remembrance of hard work, they were long with bones thin and breakable, yet still she is a nature kid, maybe it’s simply because in a house with around 7 other kids and 2 adults at all times, she had to be to get the privacy she so deeply desired. Asking Argenta to run, however, that like your making her do some sort of torture, she wasn’t built for physical activity, reading books, yes, always listening and polite, yes again, but if you asked her to run, she would pass out almost immediately, her lungs not flexible enough to hold the air she needed to run the way others always wanted her to.
How did you lose your Knightley title? Why do you want it back?
“I never knew why I lost my title, but educated guesses are a welcome place where ever I live, I suspect that I lost my title because I wasn’t strong enough, not in the sense that I couldn’t lift what they wanted me to, but I couldn’t be anything they did want me to be, I followed the knights’ code, but the courageous part of it messed me up, causing me to fall lower and lower until they couldn’t take it, or me I should say, any more and I lost it.”
Why are you on this quest?
“Adventures are all well and fun until you die, so I would be stupid if I were to say that. I’m going on the quest for the title. I was born of high blood, but because of my appearance, it is hard to understand why I would’ve been chosen for this program, but somebody saw something in me that looked right. And I probably still have it now but just a bit of strength or courage would be a very nice push in the right direction.”
What do you think your worth is to the team?
“I may not be the strongest of the team, and I may not look the part of how so many other people want me to, but I can form a strategy very well, better than anyone else on the team, I’m sure.”
What does your character think about themselves?
If you read the personality, (which would’ve been very boring but thank you if you did), Argenta is not a very big fan of herself, she is confident in her abilities however and knows that she matters to at least one of her 12 siblings that she helped raise.
How observant are you?
“I would say I’m not very observant, I think a lot, so I often get lost in my thoughts and lose my place in the real world. It’s not a bad thing generally, but falling off a cliff wouldn’t be too good either.
Have you broken any laws?
“I have not broken any laws. It would be a bit weird if an ex-knight (for that is what I like calling myself) did commit any crimes. It would lower the chances of me being a knight ever again and I need it to be, whole, I guess.
What is your view on the Country’s Values?
“I can follow any rule or value if given a reason to, and I respect them, at least as much as one should, yes I may disagree with one of them but if the world didn’t have any rules or organization or values, it would fall apart into complete and utter chaos so anything to stop that break from happening is a welcome thing in my world.”
Family: Argenta has a lot of family members, 12 younger siblings and three older ones, plus two parents. She never got to grow up with her wants and wishes fulfilled, so she took care of most of her younger siblings in order to get her own money, to buy her own books, or toys, or stuff like that.
Affiliations: TBD
History: (I’m scared to do this one ;-;) Argenta was born to high class people, not people who had much influence, but enough for her to be well off so she could live a good life.
When she was three, her parents had a set of twins that was when her life really started up. She had to take care of those twins 24/7. Only getting the occasional break to get a snack or take a nap when one of her older siblings had to hang out with them (by her parents' will). Once her parents had another child the responsibility was thrusted upon the twins, and she finally got some time to relax, of course she had no idea what to do with this time, which is why she thinks so much in the present day, but it was nice
When she turned nine her interest in being a knight peeked, she saw a current knight ride around the place where she was living and she stared at them in awe. Not many people knew what they were going to do with their life when they were 20, but for her, it was clear to see. She practiced everyday, helping out her parents, studying about the great adventures knights have had in so many stories, and she got stronger.
When she was 12 her parents had some more kids, at this point she was wondering if they were ever going to stop. She practiced more and trained but one day something fell over her right eye, which caused the scar you may have read about in the appearance section. She stopped training as hard after that, her eye hand coordination going down the drain along with, slowly, her hope.
When she turned 19 she joined the ranks of knights. When she was just training in general, she got , A lot of.. negative emotions distributed toward her. Everyone said that she wouldn't be able to do it or she just should stop, stop training, stop trying. She'd never be strong enough for any of them, but if she cared about anybody, opinion she would've stopped a long time ago so she was fine with it, but it still hurt more then she likes to admit. since many knights have seen her training in a wide open space near where she lived, they had some ideas for her and she was knighted at age 21.
Other: Despite her form, she is strong, being able to lift around 200 pounds (Give or take a few) (Usually take). Also Hiii :D I hope I did well on the form!

RP example (link): (Don’t read the second post please, It’s really cringey) https://wolfplaygame.com/forums.php?f=15&t=75673&page=1 (I adapt to the amount of rping the other people in the rp are doing, so that is why my posts end up shrinking as they get further and further along. Just so I can maximize the amount of rping compared to the other people.
How active do you expect of yourself to be in this RP? I’ll be active enough for it to count, more active on Sundays and definitely in the upcoming week, though I am going for a few days at the end so I might fall short of the expected amount of posts.
How willing are you to do research for this? I already spent 20 minutes trying to find a name for this gal, I’m up for anything.
I hope this is good!
