For your character please include:

I would like to play one of Beruthiel's servants if thats alright

NAME: Shumita

AGE: 25

RACE: human

GENDER:female

WEAPONS: none

APPEARANCE: Shumita is of medium height, her long brown hair is wavy and reaches her hips. The only clothes she has are old dresses which she had to make herself, most of them are plain black or white. Her face is oval and her eyes are deep green in colour.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Shumita only works for the Queen because she has too, it is the only way she can make a living. She works hard but does not feel that the Queen appreciates her enough. She is young and does not always follow instructions well and gets distracted easily.

HISTORY: Her family live in a town far away from Minas Tirith and she left them to find a better life, away from the farming community which she found boring. When she arrived in Minas Tirith however, she found that no one would take her in and she spent many days living in the streets. One day however, she was walked past the servant's quarters of the palace and she heard a row between some of the servants. They were arguing over who would help look after all the cats, since there were now so many. Jumping at the chance, Shumita voluntered and she gained a place in the servants of the palace.

She has not been working at the palace for long and she is still trying to fit in with the other servants.

First Post:
Shumita opened her eyes slowly. The morning light streamed through her window. She sat up slowly and yawned. Looking outside the window again She watched the birds flutter about and sing. Then suddenly, a black cat pounced onto the windowsill, scaring away the birds. The cat hissed menacingly at Shumita and ran off. Standing up quickly she realised, she was late! Running through the house with her hair in a mess and her clothes all twisteed and scrunched up she dashed across the grounds and hurried into the kitchens.

Before entering she made one last attempt to make her hair neat and she pushed open the door slowly. Peeking in she saw all the others were already there. She slipped in as slowly as she could but just as she turned to close the door, it creaked and everyone turned around and stared at her. "Shumita! How many times do I have to tell you! You must be here before the sun comes up!" The head of the kitchens sighed. Shumita looked at her feet and muttered a quiet apology.The other servants looked back at her while some whispered to their neighbour. She was greatly tempted to smack them all on the face but she restrained herself. Remember why you’re here, don’t blow it now!

The servants were then given their orders for the day and left the kitchens. Shumita was cleaning the entrance hall, again. Three days in a row she had to clean it and this time if it wasn't clean enough she knew she'd be in deep trouble. The hall was ages away from the kitchens, making her work time even shorter. Come on, stop whining or you'll never get anything done She thought. She picked up the buckets and the cloth and walked over to the hall. Not a bad start to the day was it? She said to herself as she dragged her feet.

Behind her she head a cat meow, still angry at herself she turned around about to scream at the cat but before she did she realised who was holding the cat, the Queen. Dropping to her knees she bowed. "Good morning Your Majesty." she said quietly. The Queen nodded but had a look of disgust on her face, Shumita quickly tried to fix her hair again but it was no use. The Queen walked on and the cat she was carrying hissed back at Shumita and then seemed to whisper something into the Queens ear...
