Meme: More Than Meets the Eye
We haven't done this since August and I'm curious about other people's characters since details like this often slip by the wayside after you've been IG forever.
There are certain characteristics about the people we play that *we* know, but we get tired of repeating in every introductory ping. There's also stuff that players wouldn't really be able to figure out just looking at an icon--how tall someone is, if they have an accent, what kind of clothes they are wearing...and in some cases, if their eyes/hair/whatever are different than the PB we've picked.
So wax poetic about what your characters look/sound like, if they have tics or scars, if they have a distinct singing voice, etc!
I'm personally especially curious about how characters sound. I've been floored by "oh man, their voice is way deeper than I thought" when getting into your canons sometimes.

Ghanima Atreides
* As a Spice addict, always has a carry-case of it with her. She'll always (subtly) sprinkle some into her food or drink if you're eating with her. It's not your cooking, it's her addiction.
* Is in her mid thirties, but looks barely twenty. Yay for complete cellular control of the aging process! Some of her students are now very much her physical age-mates or older. It tickles her sense of humor.
* Tall (5' 9"), red-gold hair, very striking. Has a beautiful voice.
* Is Pre-Born, which means she has the full genetic memories of all her ancestors in her head, as distinct people. Will register strangely to telepaths. Anyone who tries to evesdrop probably gets a nasty migraine.
* Clarvoyant, to a degree. And knows when you're lying, as an Adept Truthsayer (along with all the other Bene Gesserit powers).
* Twin sister of Leto Ateides II. Their mannerisms are eerily similar and they have a habit of finishing each other's thoughts. If you're not used to them, it can be creepy.
* When teaching, typically wears fancy formal wear of the Imperium, including hat and fancy hair-style. On her down time, tends to dress more Fremen, in tunics and loose pants with her hair down. Does own basic 21st century clothing, but generally only wears it when leaving the island.
* Is always armed. She always has her crysknife on her, but you can usually count on at least a dozen other knives somewhere on her body, a garrote, and a variety of poisons.
* Carries herself very regally when acting in an 'official' capcity, like teaching, but when she's being 'Ghani' over 'Atreides,' moves in a much more efficent, combat-ready manner. She's referred to as the 'Lioness of Atreides' for a reason.
* Has an utterly gorgeous laugh and smile. Is rather impish and playful when not in Princess Mode. She is the other half of the Chaos Twins, after all.
