Description
Spoiler:
Nigh a fairer night had been seen this annum. The laughter of guests swept through the manse like a calm breeze. The pungent and spicy smoke of the exotic cigar lending a hazy quality to the night.

Her features bare an almost unnatural grace, and her elegance and courtesy are equal to her loveliness. Garbed in a gown of silk and saffron, she whisks her way through the various trade scions, noblemen, and assorted gentry with ease. Alas, not everything is perfect.

Business characters are cool. Even Especially ones with flaming instruments and no backstory.

I know right? I've been busy crying, so the backstory will get done in good time.

Not going to lie, I'll accept any character that can shred on the violent (coolest instrument in the world, btw) so hard that it is set ablaze.

That's not a violent, it's a violin. I also curse Christoph for making this because I had a very similar idea using that exact picture.

Occitanian folk songs
implying occitanian folk songs are anything but an old occitanian soldier's auto-tuned screaming of "DEATH TO THE AUSLANDER" synched with the beat of his sword as he's chopping up soldier after soldier on the battlefield

I'll accept this when you put a backstory in, and a decent reason why she comes from Occitan and doesn't worship the Saints.

Agree with the point on the Shar worship. A nice explanation would be... well, nice.
Otherwise accept.

Any fan of adventure time is a fan of mine. Also, I'm a sucker for musician chars. Plus, she just sounds cool. I think what I'm trying to say is YOU HAVE MY ACCEPT.
Also, I misread this and thought you were saying she was good at STARCRAFT. That's how it will always be in my mind.

After recent IC experiences on other characters, I've come to realize Shar worship is not really that fun. In this spirit, she now just worships the saints.

However, "features bare" would imply that they would go hidden if not for her features, and could be considered correct as well, if not a bit weird in terms of sentence structure. Both curtsey and curtsy seem to be correct, though I prefer the latter spelling of the word. It's your choice.
Because if you're gonna make me reach for a dictionary you should at least be grammatically and stylistically correct. Very good description of the scene. Is the character finished? If it is, I approve right now.
