cecillia alexandra maddocks-llyr

* tell us a little about yourself.

"Yes my name is Cecilla. It's a family name. Started back with my Uber Great Grandmother. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but it's so feminine. Not to say I don't like feminine. I am a girl after-all. And every girl I have ever met has at least a small feminine side. Anyway, Alexandra was a name of my daddy's doing. He had wanted another boy, and he was planning on naming him Alexander. My momma made it feminine, and ta-da! You have Cecilla Alexandra Maddocks-Llyr. The Llyr part was my momma's. She wanted her children to have her last name as well. Although for the most part, I go by Cecilla Alexandra Maddocks. No -Llyr. It's not that I have anything against my momma. It's just that the -Llyr just adds that much more to write in such tiny spaces.

For the most part I go by Lilly. You know, like the flower. Which may sound odd. After-all I complained about how girly my name is. So how is being called a flower any better? Well it's not, in all honesty. But it wasn't my choice. My mother started calling me Lilly back when I was younger and okay with feminine, and it stuck. So most people call me that. Those who know me better, a.k.a. my friends, call me Lils. But that name is reserved for my friends and only my friends. Ce-Ce is also a name only my friends can call me.

Well I'm nineteen, although you could never tell by looking at me. That's right. I've been legal for a year now. Not that that is the first thing on my mind. Anyway, I was born on May 14th. That makes me a Taurus. That's the bull right? I'm pretty sure about that. Yeah, it is. Taurus is the coolest sign ever. Taureans for the win!

I don't have a job really. I go to college, and take up whatever jobs I can get. Not very exciting. I'm trying to get a job at the Pasta Bowl. Or perhaps at the camp grounds. The woods there are just so inviting.

So a lot of people tell me I look a lot like Ginta Lapina. She's a model of some sort. She's really pretty from what I've seen. Either way, I don't see it. Not that I mind. After all, being compared to a model is perhaps one of the greatest compliments I have gotten."

* what are some of your positive traits?

&&.caring/polite-"One of the first thing that people notice about me is how polite and caring I am. It's just how I was raised. I addresses people properly, and always say my please and thank yous. I also cannot stand to see anyone in trouble, physically and emotionally. However, I'm not to good with physical injuries. I've never exactly taken a first aid class. That would have been a good idea, seeing as I often get into fights, resulting is some pretty bad injuries. That, and I happen to be rather clumsy and fall a lot. But in the emotional aspect of hurt, I'll try to give the best advice I can. Granted, sometimes I have muddled logic, being a teenager and all, so my advice isn't the best."

&&.smart-"Being the daughter of two smart people, I was destined to be at least a tad bit smart. And smart I am. My memory helps quite a bit with that. I love learning new words. They add a certain flair to my speech. As if that wasn’t enough, I like to speak in similes. Really odd and random ones at that. My biggest downfall with how smart I am is y attention span. To put it bluntly, I have the attention span of a gnat. This hinders me greatly, as I tend to get distracted by the most random things. Bright colors get me the most, as do shiny things.

&&.outgoing-"I'm a very outgoing girl. I try to make friends with just about everyone, even if they don't want to be my friend. I want to know as many people as possible. After-all, it's good to have connections."

&&.talks a lot-" I know this could go with outgoing, but I like it having it's on section. It seems people think that I don't know how to shut up. I suppose it's true. I do talk a lot. Sometimes on the same subject, sometimes going off an a million tangents. Sometimes I talk to other people. Mostly I talk to myself though. Not a lot of people want to hear the end of my rantings. If they do ever end that is. There are a few, but not a lot. Most of the time, those who stick around are people I don't know. Yes, I know that people aren't supposed to talk to strangers. But that just never clicked in my mind. Even with that catchy song, 'Never ever ever ever ever. Never talk to strangers.' Try having that stuck in your head for days on end. Not fun."

&&.brave-"So I'm pretty darn brave. I'm not afraid of much. So long as you don't turn the lights out, I'll do just about anything. I've often stood up against the bullies. They just don't scare me. What are they going to do? Shove me in the locker? Been there, done that."

&&.curious-"I'm a pretty curious person. I like opening things that I'm not supposed to open. Like Pandora, except that I don't believe in Greek Gods. I also have like a bajillion questions to ask. But it's not my fault that the world is so damn confusing. I blame it on, well someone. I'm not too sure who to blame. Not God. He's too awesome to blame for the many confusions that I have been blessed with. So I suppose I'll just blame it on the person who first asked a question. Now why is curiousness a good thing? I'll tell you why. It adds to intelligence. So HA!"

* what are some things that you can improve on?

&&.stubborn-"My stubborn streak is also notable. Although I fail at making decisions, when I manage to make one, it's hard to get me to change my mind. I stick to her choices, and have very few regrets when it comes to the decisions I make. However, when I set out to make a decision, I find it difficult to do so. I figure that this has something to do with the fact that I want everyone to be happy. It's either that or I try to incorporate everyone's best interests."

&&.sarcastic-"I can be a bit sarcastic at times. It's mainly when I'm in a bad mood or tired. Sometimes it'll just happen. It can get really annoying, especially because sometimes I don't even realize what I'm saying till I've already said it. It's gotten me in trouble before. A good deal of trouble because of it. However, I'll also be making sarcastic comments left and right if you make a stupid comment."

&&.has a temper-"So, I have a temper. A very bad temper. I mean for the most part I'm a happy person. I see the cup as half full and all. But here's the thing. It's pretty easy to make me mad. And when I'm mad, I'm no fun. How do you make me mad? Well you can say something that's just horrid. Saying anything sexist makes me mad. And doing something horrid to my friends. I'm rather protective over my friends. So if you do make me mad, I'm likely to fight you. But you can hear me rant about that later."

&&.reckless-"I'm a teenager. We do reckless and crazy things. Like throwing living fish at people. Do I really need to explain that? No I don't. Moving on."

&&.a fighter-"So people say that looks can lie to people. This is the case with me. When people describe how I look, they often use the word delicate. This is not the case, however. I can indeed hold my own in a fight, be it physical or verbal. I learned how to fight at a young age. This is credited to my brother. We would often start fighting out of no where. Granted it was in a playful way. My instinct however kicked in, and I fought as hard as I could. However, I would rather stay away from violent activity. I tend to fight verbally. She I fight back with biting words, and sarcastic comments that hurt many. How is this a bad thing? It hurts people, that's how."

&&.overly sensitive-"Despite the fact that I can deal it, I can't take it. If the right words are directed at my, I'll burst into tears. I try to avoid this, but it's rather difficult. When the tears do come, I often run off and let them fall in private. I would hate it if people started thinking I'm as delicate as she looks. I'm strong and I knows it. So everyone should see that too. Crying is for the weak. End of story."

* what's your biggest secret? we won't tell.

&&.wants to be a chef- "It's not a huge secret that I want to be a chef. Well not to any one buy my aunt. Seriously, she is just so oblivious, I could scream. She's trying to make me do "at least one thing right in my life," and In all honesty, I only pretend that I want to be a lawyer or a doctor or whatever it is that they wanted me to be. In truth I want to be a chef. I love food. I love making people happy. I love bringing people together. And what better way is there to bring all those things together than cooking? See it all makes sense. I would love to have my own place. Or a television show. How cool would that be? I could be like Robert Irvine. You know, the guy who does Dinner: Impossible. That is an awesome show. Or maybe a show more like Emeril Lagasse. And if that's the case, than I need to work on my catch phrase. After all, I can't just shout BAM! That's already been done."

&&.greatest fears- "I'm pretty secretive about what I'm afraid of. This is simply because fear is a sign of weakness. So what am I afraid of? The dark is one thing. It's silly really, so I'm not going to go on anymore. I'm also afraid of not living up to my parents expectations. My parents were always so good to me. But they had such high standards. I'm afraid what's going to happen if I don't live up to them. I'm not too sure why or anything. I just am. I'm also afraid of frogs because they jump out at people, and clowns because clowns are pedophiles. End of story. They just are."

* what does your heart want?

&&.sexuality- "I happen to go for the guys. Although right now, I'm avoiding the dating thing. It's a distraction. However, I suppose if the right guy does come along, I might change my mind about that."

&&.turn ons- What the right guy is like? Well that's simple. He would need to be able to put up with me. I consider myself a little crazy. Not too crazy, but you know, a little crazy. Ummmmm he needs to be good looking obviously. There has to be some physical attraction. He would need to pay attention too me. I don't talk for my health you know. Someone who could handle all my yelling would be nice. Seriously, if you can't deal with the fact that I like to deal out the truth, than you get the boot. Someone who likes to eat too. I cook a lot, so it would seem that that would be best. I can't eat all that food by myself. I suppose someone brave would be nice. I mean, I can handle myself, but I don't want to have to take care of him like that. That's hardly any fun. Someone who will treat me right would be nice. I don't care if chivalry is dead. I'm going to bring it back. Oh and he needs to be able to make me laugh."

&&.turn off's -"What turns me off? Hmmmm. Being a coward. Like I said, I don't want to have to defend whoever I'm with at the moment. I also don't want a man who thinks he's better than me because he's a guy. Seriously, that is so old school, it's not even funny. I can do anything a guy can do, and I bet I could do it better. Someone quiet would make me rather sad. I talk a lot, so he should too. I like to make intelligent conversation, so being quiet and idiotic would be a major turn off. "

* what do you do in your spare time?

&&.sewing: "I sew a lot. I don't know why I sew a lot. I just do. It was something my mama taught me how to do. Maybe that's why I sew so much. To stay close to her. I didn't know her very long. But I know she loved to sew. So I suppose that explains it. I suppose I also sew a lot because it was one of my chores while living with my aunt."

&&.cooking: "While I lived with my aunt, she made me do a lot of work. She made me sew, as I have already explained. She also made me cook. And I fell in love with it. It makes people happy, and brings them together. And I'm pretty sure I've already explained my love of cooking. So yeah."

&&.fencing/archery: "When I was younger, I was a tad bit chubby. Or a lot chubby. So I took up many sports. And the first one I could get into, and do well at was fencing. I also took a break and tried archery, something else I seemed to do rather well out. It seems I have good aim. Anyway, I only ever pursued those two sports. Why try anything I'm no good at. True I would have gotten better, but I wouldn't have much confidence while doing it."

&&.walking in the woods: "So my dear auntie lives near the forest. Every now and then I would head out there and hang out. It was pretty funny. Sometimes I would go out there with a few jars and catch snakes and use them to scare my aunt. It was so hilarious hearing her scream. But I liked the woods. They were relaxing, and it was pretty fun to get lost in them. At least that is, until it got dark. Thank goodness for footprints and flashlights."

&&.going to the beach/swimming: "Those years that my parents were still alive, we often hung out at the beach. I didn't help that we lived so close to it. It was a weekly thing. Or a daily thing. I'm a beach rat, I'll admit it. Anyway, much like the way the woods relax me, the beach does that too. I think it's the way the water feels as the tides come in. Or maybe it's the feeling of sand in my toes. You know what's not relaxing though? The seagulls. Those things are annoying as crap, I'll tell you what."

* so what does your family life look like?

&&.the mama-"I loved mama. She was a wonderful woman. Went by the name Angharad Fiona Maddocks-Llyr. She wanted to keep her last name. Which is fine by me. Oh, and just so you know, Llyr was her last name. She liked the way Maddocks-Llyr sounded better than Llyr-Maddocks, and frankly so do I. More about her. I got along with my mother. According to my brother, I'm a lot like her. I never paid much attention to it until after she died. It seems she was a bit of a spit-fire as well. And I've seen a lot of pictures. And she's smiling in every one of them. I suppose I know where I get that from."

&&.the daddy-"Geriant Maddocks was my father. And he was every bit as wonderful as my mother. I consider him the source of my drive. Seriously. He was the one who made me feel as though I have to show the world that girls can be as epic as the dudes. He's also the one who pushed me the most as a child. He wanted nothing but the best for us, us being me, momma, and Davion. So I suppose I should thank him, if I ever see him again. Which means I have to wait till I die. Cause you know, seeing dead people is completely unrealistic. So yeah."

&&.the older brother-"Davion Maddocks-Llyr is my brothers name. He's about three years older than me, and currently lives in this place called Townville. It's in South Carolina. Anyway, when I was growing up, we were tighter than this." *crosses fingers*"Sure we fought a lot, but that's what siblings do. And besides, if it weren't for him, I doubt I would have made it through those years with Afon. Not only that, but he was my voice of reason. He tended to keep me from fighting. So yeah."

&&.the aunt-"Afon. Oh how I hate her. She's a bitch. I mean it. I don't tend to say such mean things about people, but I can't help it when her name comes up. She was horrible. I spent the last five years with her in Wales. Sure that may not seem like a long time, but trust me, it felt like it. We fought even more than Davion and I. And that's saying something. The only thing she did right was give me a ton of freedom. She really didn't give a crap what I did, so long as I wasn't coming home pregnant. But really, why would I do that. I'm saving myself for my husband. It's been proven that those who have slept around are more likely to get a divorce, and I would rather like my marriage to last forever. Anyway, she's a devil with a heart that's like pitch black. I HATE HER!"

* what are the memorable moments in your life?

"So why do you want to know about me? You trying to write my biography or something? Well let me warn you, that it won't be a very interesting book. Seriously my life is boring. That being said, your going to have a very boring book. And boring books don't sell too well. I doubt that it would even get published. Anyway, I suppose I should start huh? But how to start? That is a very good question. Once upon a time.... No, that's cliche. It was a dark and stormy night? Again cliche. Besides I was born during the day. A very warm day as a matter a fact. I'll just wing it. Here goes nothing."

&&.dealing with death-"So instead of going through everything list by list, I suppose I should just go through a few big events. I don't think you want to know much more. So the first big thing that I can remember was the day my parents died. I hate talking about this, but I suppose I have no choice now do I. I was fourteen when it happened. They had gone out to go dancing or whatever it was that they were doing. I really didn't ask. I wanted to, don't get me wrong. Yet at the same time, I knew I was going to get the same answer as always. "Out." It was about ten o'clock, and they still weren't home yet, which was strange seeing as we had plans the next morning and mamma loved being ready like three hours early. I called her cell, without a response. I called daddy's phone too, but there was still no response. I got the message that you get when someone's phone was off. It was so eerie. They never turned their phones off. I shrugged it off and headed off to bed. When I woke up, I turned on the news, to find a story about a car crash the night before. Lo and behold, the car on the screen was our parents car. I tried to call for Davion, but nothing came out. I was just so horrified. I didn't stay to watch anymore. I went back up to my room and just started to cry. Moments later, Davion came up to my room. It seemed he had heard the news as well. He also heard th enews as to what was going to happen to us. We were moving to Wales. Cold, damp, depressing Wales. Or at least that's what I assumed. And so we packed our bags, mine being filled with clothes and a bunch of photos, boarded the plane, and off we went."

&&.hell on earth beings-"So a few days after the death of my parents, my brother and I boarded a plane. This I've already expressed. The day we arrived in hell Wales, was the second time I had met my aunt. The first was back when I was three or something like that. So I hated that day. Why? Because for all those years, momma kept telling us she was a wonderful person. They were all lies. Either that, or Afon was a fake. I chose to believe the latter. The moment she greeted us, I could tell. Her voice was laced with anger, like she already hated us. She didn't even know us. When we got to her house, she showed us around a little bit and showed us to our rooms. They were so small. Then again, I was a bit more used to the finer things in live. If there was one thing about living with her, it was that it brought me down to earth. Anyway, that first day, she gave us a long list of rules. Things we couldn't touch, people we couldn't talk to, and all sorts of crazy things. She also gave us a long list of chores. And then for the rest of the day, she didn't say a word to us. Never in my life had I felt so unwanted and unloved. I lied. She did talk to me one last time. To yell at me, for some crazy thing I don't even remember doing. And at that point, I knew that living with her would be a nightmare. "

&&.moving to Walten-"So we finally get a break from all the depressing shizz. Now we get a happy story. Last summer, not the most recent one, but the one before that, I graduated high school. Yep. See that's exciting. I had spent all year applying to various colleges, and most of them didn't want me, which was bull. I think they did want me, they just were too shy to admit it. Granted my applications may have sounded a tad bit frightening. I did however, get accepted to Walten, as well as a few others. Walten seemed to have everything I wanted. It had a beach, it was only a state away from my brother, and it had a few other things I liked. So I chose Walten, and moved out of my aunt's house. YEA!"

* so we've heard that you're a lot like princess eilonwy

name: Cecillia was chosen because the possibility of the nickname Lilly. The lilly is a flower, something that many see as delicate, something Eilonwy was not. It was mainly chosen to be ironic. Also both names have e's, i's, and l's. Llyod Alexander was the name of the author who wrote the books the Black Cauldron was based on. I took Alexander and made it femme to make her middle name. Maddocks is a Welsh surname, chosen because a) it's Welsh, and b) it was a name given to many princes and kings, and other male royalty. While Eilonwy was not male, she was royalty, hence why I think it fits. Llyr was chosen because Eilonwy was princess of Llyr and was considered a daughter of Llyr. So yeah.
play by: I find that Ginta Lapina and Eilonwy look rather similar. Both are tiny girls, and they both have blonde hair and very blue eyes. I also like Ginta because she has many pictures where she has a pale look going on. This is similar to Eilonwy in that, she too is pale. I also think that they have similar chin shapes, but that may be just me. They also both have long necks.
positive traits:
polite/caring: For the most part, Eilonwy seemed to be a rather polite girl, who tended to mind her manners. As far as caring goes, Eilonwy seemed to have strong feelings for all of her friends. This can be seen both when Taran and Gurgi are arguing about whose going to jumped into the cauldron, and also when the companions manage to fall down the whirlpool.
smart: Though this is hardly seen in the movie, Alexander's Eilonwy was known to make many intelligent comments. She made so many of those in fact that Gurgi called Eilonwy "wise princess" many times. There was one scene that this trait seemed to stick out, and that was when they were moping around after they had obtained the cauldron.
outgoing/talks a lot: This is another thing that wasn't made as clear in the movie as I wish it had. Eilonwy was a little chatterbox, who never seemed to shut up, so it made sense that that Lilly would be like that. Eilonwy also showed outgoing qualities, introducing herself to everyone. Or at least everyone at the beginning of the movie. So therefore, Lilly talks to everyone.
brave: Girls who are too afraid to do anything exciting are not going to go exploring dungeons. End of story.
curious:I got this from the fact that Eilonwy opened that thing a ma bobber in the witches house.
negative traits: how do your character and the disney character share these traits.
orientation: Well I'm pretty darn sure Eilonwy was straight. After-all, she did end up kissing Taran at the end, even it was Gurgi's doing. She was still smiling at the end. So yeah, pretty sure she's straight. Hence why Lilly is straight.
turn ons: Eilonwy was the kind of girl who not many could handle, so it made sense to me that Lilly would be the same way and would need a guy who would be willing to put up with her. The attention was something that made sense in my head, simply because she was a talker, and would want someone to pay attention to her. Lilly likes all that knight in shining armor idea when it comes to how a man treats a woman. This came from the fact that Eilonwy was a princess and lived in a time when chivalry was still very well alive. Eilonwy tended to giggle a lot, so it seemed that someone with a good sense of humor would fit her bill as well.
turn offs: Eilonwy showed extreme girl power type of qualities, hence why sexism is a turn off. Eilonwy also seemed the brave type, so it would make sense that Lily is as well. Therefore it would make sense if Lilly liked guys who were brave and not wimps.
spare time: It is known that Eilonwy knew how to sew. She mend the pants of the bard with the name that is impossible to spell. Ummm the cooking thing has to do with the 'Scullery maid' comment made by the Horned King. You can read about that in the app for Eirain. I'm feeling lazy today. Eilonwy's quip after the whole "What does a girl know about swords?" made me thing that Eilonwy would be into sword fighting, which I translated to fencing. In the books, she was rather good at sword fighting and is a skilled archer. Hence why she also likes archery. Eilonwy also seemed to be the kind of the girl who would enjoy walking in the woods, hence why it is something Lils likes. Going to the beach was something that I also explained when I created Eirian. If you wouldn't mind reading that again, that would be amazing.
family life:Lilly's parents both have the same names as Eilonwy's did in the books. Sadly, not much was revealed about how Eilonwy felt about her family, so I sort of made that up. There also is no confirmed fact that Eilonwy is indeed an only child. She may have been the last Princess of Llyr, but there is no way to be sure there wasn't a last Prince of Llyr, so I thought it would be cool to give Lilly a brother. As far as Lilly's aunt goes, that was based on Eilonwy's 'aunt' in the books. I figured it would be appropriate for Lilly to live with her aunt after her parents demise. Eilonwy and Achren (her "aunt") did not get along, therefore Lilly and Afon do not get along. Her parents and her did get along simply because I have a feeling Eilonwy, had she known her parents would have been very happy.
memorable moments: At a young age, Eilonwy's parents had died for whatever reason. That's where the first too came from. The first being her parents death, the second the first day of living with her aunt. And then moving to Walten was just there, because it seemed the sort of thing Lilly would be happy about. It was like Eilowny's escape in a way.
