Physical Description of Persona:
Cinale is a curvy woman with a shoulder wide enough for a crying apprentice and a smile that always cheers them up. A slim girl in her youth, the dangers of work in a kitchen have taken their toll... but until the healers tell her she has to lose weight, she's not worried about the extra padding on her hips. She wears her reddish blonde hair in a long braid, careful to keep it out of her way--and out of the food. Blue eyes are surrounded by smile lines, and her nose and cheeks are covered in freckles that stand out against her pale face. Her fair complexion burns easily, making a hat necessary when outside.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Cinale is a woman bothered by nothing and intimidated by no one. Although young to be in charge of the kitchens at a crafthall, Cinale is the only experienced cook who refused to be run off by the new Hallmaster's aggressive ire, and gained the position by default. The young ladies in the Hall who are afraid of Fielton's wrath tend to hide behind Cinale, which puts her into conflict with the Hallmaster more often than not. No one is sure how Cinale's cheerful blend of respect and fond chiding has managed to put Fielton at his ease, but no one minds having Cinale between the Hallmaster and themselves.

History of Persona:
Cinale's parents died before she was a turn old, and Cinale was left to grow up with her aunt and uncle at Vinter Hall. Her uncle, a journeyman vinter, doted on her, and he and her aunt spoiled her rotten. Cinale loved dabbling in the kitchens from an early age, and never really thought about doing anything else.

Naturally talented in the kitchen, Cinale became the default head of Vinter Hall's kitchens when the previous head cook and her assistant quit in a fury after Fielton's first two months as Hallmaster. Although she has no particular title, most people recognize that she is the head of the kitchens and no one is eager to take her place as long as she's willing to stand between them and the Hallmaster.

All her life, Cinale had cheerfully said that when the right man came along who'd be able to tame her, she'd know. And it finally seems as though that man has come into her life.

Pets

Fey, Green Firelizard: aged 9, hatched m7 d5
Being paler in color than most green flits, it's easy to pick out Fey from the rest of the greens living in the Hall. She is quite small yet but already is showing to be sweet-tempered. And this little darling has Cinale wrapped around her tiny claw.
