Full Name: Cecilia Clementine Oroitz
Favorite Quote: "Oh darn I've lost my glasses again..."
Appearance: Shoulder Length Blonde hair pulled into two buns. A cream jacket over a knee-length lavender colored dress. Blue-purple eyes and fair skin. Large Round glasses
Personality: Not much for short term memory, loses things and gets lost often (sees it as an adventure), pretty cheery most of the time, makes killer chocolate chip cookies
Backstory: Cecilia had grown up in a well off family, and at an early age she began to peruse how the human brain's memory system works. A childhood friend of hers had often stated that there was a few things she would have "rather liked to forget" (referencing mostly embarrassing school time events) and that statement stuck with Cecilia. She studied psychology and began experimenting on way the human memory could be "edited", to strengthen it or remove events if the person is willing. Unfortunately no great success has been made, but over years of exposure to various methods of memory manipulation- Cecilia has lost a great deal of her short term memory, so she can be a little scatterbrained.

The line-work on the glasses is a bit off, I was trying to fix the colors and they still aren't quite right. Neither is her design but here's a rough idea of it.
Nicknames: She goes by Cecilia, CiCi, or Clementine- whichever name she happens to think of first
Area of study at the Society: Memory/Psychology- has tried or is trying many different scientific method for her research
Jobs: She bakes sometimes?
Age: 25
Race: Human :)
Relationship Status: Currently Single
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 145
Anything else I should know about this character? 
She has no long term memory loss, simply misplaces things and forgets what she's just said or heard at times.
EDIT: She has a small notebook a pen, filled with scribbly handwriting of things she needs to remember, such as addresses.
EDIT: Has had occasional success on her experiments, but none could be repeated thus far.
Intro to the Society (EDIT: below in comments now):

The mid-day sun hung in the sky as a pair of boots clicked up the sidewalk to a set of large doors. Cecilia Oroitz stepped up to the doors in front of the Society for Arcane Sciences. She had sent a letter a few weeks ago, at least she thought she had... That's what was written in chicken scratch in the notebook rattling around in her bag. Hopefully that letter had reached good hands.
"I do hope this is the right address... I wrote it down..." Cecilia rummaged through a bag hanging at her side, pulling out a small notebook to confirm that yes- this was the Society she was looking for. She glanced up at the doors, adjusting a pair of glasses on her nose and shifting the bag on her side before knocking. A brief pause.
"Have I knocked yet?" ... "Better knock again just to be sure." Leaning forward a bit, she knocked once more- softer than the last- and stood back to wait for an answer.

(( Hello, and welcome to the forum! I'm Tai, I play the two lads in my icon, Dr. Richard Prince and Charricthran-Kothar, more commonly called Char.
Char's indisposed right now, else they'd both be coming to say hi to Cecilia. As it stands, you get to say hi to Richard, who's the taller one in the icon.
Looking forward to having you here ^-^))
The man that answered the door was quite tall even to someone of Cecilia's height--he stood a little over half a foot taller than she, and had to look down slightly to speak to her.
Aside from his height, there were several notable things about this man. A mess of auburn curls spilled out from under a flat hat, many of which fell to cover the (frankly, ghastly) right side of his face. What flesh that could be seen under hair, hat, shadow, and a large green scarf covering the lower half of his face was the shiny tautness of burn scars, pockmarked with flashes of knife wounds and curious places where it seemed large chunks had simply fallen out. The right eye itself was little more than metal plates arranged like a camera lens, and painted to match his one good eye with an aspen-green iris.
He was covered head to toe in dark clothing that seemed at odds with the midday warmth. If he was sweating underneath his black suit with silver pinstripes, the heavy, brown, leather apron that reached all the way to his black boots, and gloves that seemed as though they were made of the same material as his apron, neither his sweat nor his discomfort showed.
For all the world it seemed as though the only colors he had were the green of his scarf and eyes, the yellow of his hat, the olive tone of his skin, and the red-brown of his hair.
Perhaps the strangest thing of all was the cane he leaned on, whose handle was fashioned in a startling realistic likeness of a toucan and which seemed prone to fly away at any moment with an indignant squawk.
Still, for all his strangeness, the force of his welcoming smile was apparent in the squint of his left eye and the crinkle of crow's feet thereabouts as he gave a small bow.
"Good afternoon, Signora. How might I be of assistance to you this fine day?"
His voice was soft and somewhat low, and though the title he used was most certainly Italian, his accent was only partly so, and muffled through the scarf besides.

((Hello! Glad to be here! For reference, the notebook is about the size of her hand- Cecilia’s not holding a clip board.))
“Oh!” Cecilia looked upward, somewhat startled by the bow, to meet the eyes...eye?...of the man who had answered the door. “Hello! I’m here because...” Her current train of thought disappeared from her grasp. Cecilia’s eyes flicked down behind faintly purple lenses to the notebook she held in her hands, flipping rapidly through a few pages. “So sorry,” she mumbled. A pause, a glance down at the scrawled words on the pages in front of her, and Cecilia glanced upward once more.
“I sent a letter here a few weeks ago,” she continued. “I- hm- I needed a few materials I couldn’t find on my own, and was wondering if I would be able to find them here?” She flipped the spiral bound notebook closed with a smile, only the cover bearing her name and the words “memories” written in scribbled handwriting shown. “I may have forgotten to put a stamp on it... I can’t recall.”

The man looked skyward as he though, then rolled his shoulders back in a shrug.
"I myself do not oversee the flow of mail through these doors, so whether or not your letter arrived is something I cannot say."
He gave Cecilia an apologetic smile before continuing, taking a step back as he opened the door wider.
"That said, you will find many of the Lodgers here are more than willing to help a fellow scientist. Should you remember any of these materials you require, they may be able to provide them in part."

Cecilia looked down at her notebook, a miniature wave of embarrassment washing over her. Where the notebook was (in a roundabout way) a sign that her research was even working at all, it annoyed her she had to use it. Forgetting why you’d even left the house wasn’t the best of first impressions. Within a second or two she had dismissed the feeling and placed the notebook back into her bag.
“I’m sure I’ve written them down somewhere, I’ve just got to take some time to look,” she shrugged and adjusted the bag on her shoulder, looking back to the man in the doorway “I’m Cecilia by the way, if I haven’t already said so. Cecilia Oroitz.”

"I am Doctor Richard Prince, and it is a pleasure to be making your acquaintance. Do come in, Signora Oroitz. We may begin our search when you have found what you are looking for."
The smile he gave was as reassuring as one could be, smiling through an eye and not much else. Truly, it seemed as if Richard were unconcerned by whatever impression Cecilia was making, with some small expression hidden in the corners of his eye suggesting an amount of understanding and patience.
