<em>I'm posting this profile, but intend on getting it into proper form as I do some reading on that...feel free to comment or offer suggestions about anything that should be clarified or revised.</em><br/><br/>E. Cordelia Collingsworth, 34, female<br/><br/>Cartographic archivist for the University library.    Responsible for preservation, conservation, authentication, storage and retrieval of the library collection of historical maps. She has the ancillary task of oversight of several private archival vaults, owned by benefactors of the library, as well.<br/><br/>Physical: Average of height, average build and average features. Her auburn hair is generally kept swept back and tacked in a bun at the nape of her neck, especially while working. Green eyes, wire rimmed glasses. Neither particularly athletic, nor feeble, she is certainly not nimble, being somewhat physically hindered by her vestments, common to the day.  As far as costume, she tends to eschew feminine styled garb with ruffles, lace, and full skirts, in favor of more tailored skirts, fitted vests, and close fitting sleeves that will not be loose and interfere with her work. There are far too many stairs, banisters, shelves, and drawers in the archives to get caught up on to be dragging such frivolous garments around.<br/><br/>Skills: Keen intellect, unusually well educated for a woman of the day by her father (who had been the head librarian for the University. Well respected by his peers, she was able to secure her position based on his reputation – hers is not a job traditionally held by a woman, and all of her coworkers and staff are male. She enjoys a level of professional respect not generally afforded a woman, owing to her skill.) Trained in the classics, adept with classical Latin and Greek which affords her some advantage in translation of historical academic documents, be they in Latin or one of the common romance languages.  Well versed in her job, she is able to validate provenance of maps and documents based on paper composition, ink and pen style.  She is oft called upon to authenticate valuable maps for appraisal and academic purposes.<br/><br/>Temperament: Even tempered, but reserved and even socially awkward expect towards the few who know her well. Analytical, much to her credit as to her fault.<br/><br/>
