Description: Goes by Roxy
Age: 26
Country of origin: Russia
Current location: Krakow, Poland
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Occupation: Masseuse


Appearance: No one quite knows what Roxy's natural hair color is. It changes almost monthly, although she favors shades of red. Her Russian genes give her a tall, lean body, standing at 5'10" in her bare feet.  She isn't what most people would call "pretty"; she has the look of a model, part fierce and part awkward, too tall and intimidating to be attractive to most. Her wardrobe boasts the largest collection of short red dresses in Poland, along with too many pairs of heels to count. Roxy's skin is pale enough to burn in ten minutes worth of sunlight. She's got some rather striking grey eyes, lacks freckles, and keeps her hair long. Although she looks the type to have piercings, she had yet to get any; her clear skin is, in her opinion, her best feature, and piercings or tattoos would detract from this.

Reflection: Rapture, or Bliss.

Personality: Roxy is half popular chick, half girl who sat at the back of the school bus to smoke pot.  She's extroverted, arrogant and laid back.  Rarely does anyone see her unhappy or quiet.  Quick to make friends and slow to take offense, Roxy has a wide network of contacts throughout Europe.  She has an obsession with keeping herself and the people around her happy, hence her occupation.  She'll go out of her way to find pleasure, or to pleasure others. She loves to crack jokes and will do so even within dire situations; this has gotten her in trouble with bosses and clients in the past.  Roxy prides herself on her independence.  She has no long term lover and probably never will because of this.  Although her job is disreputable at best, people tend to respect Roxy's enthusiasm and (relative) morality. She's a genuinely good person; she's known lend her guestroom to troubled clients and even give considerable amounts of cash to those in great need. She often volunteers with the local fire department; burns cause, in Roxy's opinion, the worst pain, and she strives to prevent this.

Although Roxy is the type to prefer going out to bars rather than sitting around reading, she's quite intelligent and has a teensy bit of a superiority complex.  While she won't come out and say she's better than you, she'll definitely think it. Hard. Her ego tends to throw people off, much to Roxy's amusement. She's a strong feminist and doesn't take kindly to jokes against women.

History: Roxy had a relatively normal childhood in Russia.  She has two younger sisters and was always the smartest of the three; her parents expected great things from her.  When she left for university to become a physical therapist, her mother was content at best.  When she dropped out to become a masseuse, her parents cut her off from money and most family functions.  Roxy left Russia to get away from the onslaught of family drama, bought a shop in Krakow, and makes a decent, if not exactly reputable, living. Her sisters Flora and Amy still visit her from time to time. Roxy is ultimately happy with her life, despite her family's protests.
