ISFP personality types are true artists, but not necessarily in the typical sense where they’re out painting happy little trees. Often enough though, they are perfectly capable of this. Rather, it’s that they use aesthetics, design and even their choices and actions to push the limits of social convention. ISFPs enjoy upsetting traditional expectations with experiments in beauty and behaviour – chances are, they’ve expressed more than once the phrase "Don’t box me in!" | |

Personal History & Notes
Personal History | Chrysanthe was born to the Earl and Countess of Stratham, In London, on Earth. The Stratham’s were very powerful and wealthy .Her parents did the genetic manipulation before birth, choosing hair and eye colour and skin tone etc. They were fine with her being female, and wanted her to be physically beautiful. From birth to the Age of 5, Chrys was raised by nannies and governesses. At 5, her parents took her to a medical facility, ostensibly to have her hearing fixed. But it didn’t need fixing. They had her undergo further genetic enhancement, which increased her intelligence to a genius level and her flexibility was increased to Gymnastic level - not that she uses it. Again left to Governesses, Chrysanthe was given an education in Philosophy, Literature, History, Chemistry, Biology, spatial navigation, and physics. When she was 10 she underwent another procedure which granted her telepathy of a level of 8. (1 being normal 10 being extreme and able to control other people). After the surgery was completed, while Chryanthe was recovering in hospital, her parents were arrested by the government for genetically enhancing a minor against the law. Chrys was not present when her parents were arrested and her governess took her back to Stratham Place, the family home 2 days later. At 10, she was considered a ward of the state and was kept in seclusion at Stratham place for 6 months while her parents were tried and found guilty. As the heir to the Earldom, she was too young to take up the reins. So the Government put the estate under a court approved manager whose role was strictly controlled, dismissed her governess and found a proper family and changed her last name to Bennett. She was sent to the Duke of Leed’s home, and her background was changed to the fact that she was the niece of the Duke from his brother’s family. (Who was conveniently deceased). At 10, she found herself in a new home, with people she didn’t know. The Bennett’s had two children, both older than Chrysanthe. There was Charles, who was nearing 21 and Julie, who 17. So Chrys did not have much to do with them, unless they were home from University or boarding school. Chrysanthe, went to school for the first time at age 11. She hated it. She was so far ahead of her peers, and she found that her ability to socialise was lacking due to the fact that she had spent the first ten years of her life being secluded. So she pretended to be deaf, and ignored her teachers. She didn’t speak when asked questions, just looked at them blankly. After several weeks of this, His Grace, Edward Bennett found Chrysanthe in her room, reading text books of Charles’ who was studying Mechanical Engineering. Figuring she was bored at School, he hired tutors, and pulled her from normal mainstream school. She was sent to a specialised boarding school where her abilities were encouraged and not damped down. Where she was allowed to do as she wanted. Chrysanthe read voraciously and learned lots. She got into running daily and yoga. She learned how to paint, to draw, to rock climb and ride horses and to socialise with others her age and those of the same class. And at 16, she began with guidance from Edward to look over the Earldom’s books. They found that despite the strict guidelines, that the caretaker had been embezzling funds. Edward, as her guardian took the man to court, won, and had the man punished for his audacity. Then, Edward and Susanna, began teaching Chrysanthe the ropes of running her own property and business interests. From Susanna, Chrysanthe learned how to entertain and handle social situations. After two years Chrys chose to explore the opportunities offered by the Far Voyager Project. She considered her options, spoke with Edward and Julia and chose to rent a bar on the vessel. She named it The Mystic Cauldron. Being 18, her adoptive parents did not want her to go alone, but neither wanted to go on the voyage. So, Chrys re-hired her former Governess Lady Millicent Horsham as her chaperone. She and Millicent share a 2 bedroom suite, which allows them both privacy. |
