Biography

There is a popular rumour going around…about a website you can access only at midnight. A website where you can type in the name of someone who has wronged you, and the Jigoku-Shoujo will ferry them straight to hell…for a price.Ai is a very quiet and stoic girl who rarely, if ever, displays what she is really feeling. Appearing to have a cold personality, she only speaks when there is something important to say, or for the occasional little quip. There is an air of maturity about her that is unnatural in girls her (apparent) age, but despite this there is also a locked storage of childhood wonder and innocence that leaks every so often.Being a private person, it is difficult to deduct Ai’s intentions or thoughts, even if one is a part of her close-knit circle of friends. Naturally emotional, Ai has had to put her feelings behind a mask in order to properly go about her duties, lest they interfere with a job; every once in a while, you can see a small crack in the mask, usually when interacting with a client or victim she sympathizes with.She enjoys reading, origami, poetry, glass marbles, and instruments.Despite being quite knowledgeable in matters of Hell, Ai knows little about foreign concepts and ideas of the place. What she does know is from plays, popular media, and art.Ai is also the Jigoku-Shoujo, someone with the power to send anyone you have a vengeance against straight to hell, but only if you’re willing to go to hell as well (after you die, of course). She only fell into this job after extracting her own vengeance against her village, over four hundred years ago. After retribution, she was punished by the Lord of Hell himself to carry out the grudges of other human beings lest her loved ones wander around in darkness for all eternity.After centuries of seeing so many grievances, she has had to close the door to her heart in order to both do her job as Hell Girl objectively, and not be broken by humanity’s constant barrage of hate—but she still feels deep inside.She can often be seen with one of her many companions (of which I will roleplay as in threads as needed, rather than lend the roles out to NPCS.)

Appearance

Ai is very petite and slender with a tube shaped body. Her black hair reaches her lower back and is cut neatly in a ‘hime’ style. Her eyes are large and are coloured a deep red, not unlike blood; they are striking, and often make people nervous or uneasy. Eyelashes are long, and her eyebrows are trimmed neatly. Lips are small, the color of a light peach pink, going well with her unearthly pale, glowing complexion. Her round, cute little garlic nose ties everything in quite nicely on her small, youthful face. Needless to say, Ai is fair.Elegant and timeless as a swan or a porcelain doll, Ai carries herself with the regality of an old queen. Her posture is usually impeccable, slightly slouching only when comfortable in the company of her friends. When speaking to a client, she does not break eye contact, which many find incredibly nerve wracking. Her mannerisms are minimal to the point where she does nothing with her hands or body unless she is bored; in this case, you will see Ai folding origami, playing games with string, or other childlike activities to pass the time.As for clothing, her default is a black sailor-fuku, not unlike the typical winter middle school uniform for girls. Occasionally she will wear other disguises for fun or for the sake of an investigation. When extracting a vengeance, she will appear with an elegant furisode baring patterns of flowers or paper fans and temaris. She always wears a black beaded bracelet with two bells on her right wrist.While it's pretty much impossible to spot her unearthly glow on a human, a good skin ref is the Pantone swatch shown under her photo here.Her animated playby is herself, naturally, and any IRL ones will probably be from the live action show and/or cosplays.

Abilities

Teleportation
Your basic ghost-girl vanishing/reappearing act. Doesn't involve any fancy glitter or mechanics, she can just leave and appear in the blink of an eye to any distance. Oddly enough, the exception to this rule is when she is to extract a vengeance, in which case she must either walk or ride in her flaming carriage to the mortal world.Invisibility
Although "invisibility" is technically right, Ai does not bend the light around her in any way. Instead, she is able to go unnoticed and undetected by people and cameras if she wishes. When she wants to make her presence known, she does so, resulting in a RINGU like atmosphere.Infiltration
Ai and her companions can infiltrate any social circle, company, or organization. In other words, make it look like they were a part of a class roster, neighbourhood, or payroll, as well as having people "remember" or believe that they have always been there. They can also use this power to get hired in places, despite not having any human/legal paperwork.Memory Manipulation
Aside from the above, Ai and her companions can wipe the memory of themselves from others, permanently or temporarily. So someone who has seen or met either of them (in disguise or not), may not recognise them if they are on a separate case or spying on the first person in question.Fire/Energy Balls
A rarely used power on Ai's behalf. In fact, these blasts have only been used when she's completely furious. They are exceptionally powerful, and are not to be taken lightly. The flames/energy shot from her hands are cold, but when they start burning, it's almost impossible to put them out.Grudges
It has been shown that Ai, in fact, can see and show others the future and past of a grudge/someone who will contact her. It's unknown whether she was merely predicting what would happen, however, rather than what she was showing be the 100% unchangeable future.Sensory Manipulation
A necessary part of the job, as before Ai and her friends send someone to hell, they torment them with illusions of their sins and wrongdoings. The illusions encompass sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.The limits to these abilities are that she is not particularly allowed to use them outside a case. Sometimes she will for her own amusement or benefit or curiosity, but those are special occasions.

Biography

Alfred sees himself as an immigrant, not only because he exists due to the Vikings, but also because almost all of his citizens are either immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. He loves to hear the stories they hold about their journey into his country and their parents' struggles and their grandparents’ decision to travel to America—This boy stands by refugees, I wouldn’t be able to write him otherwise.HE is so curious and innovative, he likes to tinker with things and make things with his hands, he’ll take classes at colleges just to learn new things and spend time reading over books about how to repair early 20th century typewriters and how to identify mushrooms. He's a real goofball, wow.For a while, he was really hung up on Manifest Destiny, and he’s really sorry about that, and then he was hung up on communism, and he’s vERY sorry about that. He’s real sorry about a lot of things he was caught up in, and very very sorry about his government. He’s working on reparations and making amends, but shit’s hard. No one ever taught him this when he was battling in the revolution.He still keeps the narrative that he's an underdog, despite his ascent into being a World Power since the Spanish-American War. It's not a hero complex, it's a 'I'm a victim uwu' complex that's very much being shattered rn.

Appearance

Sort of a dusty blonde about him that gets brighter in the summertime. His skin’s not pasty but he doesn’t get tan unless he’s out and about during the warmer months, and even then, he sunburns way too easily (see below). Perfect blue eyes, thank you very much.A lil’ chub is inevitable because of his hunger needs, but he has decent muscle built up under the fat thanks to farm work and the obnoxious amounts of sports he plays.He has that kind of face that one moment, you can see the baby fat on his cheeks and he looks so cute, and then the next moment he looks p grown up, but not completely. His nose is straight, but has been broken a few times from sticking it where it doesn’t belong. Jaw is still young but square, and his eyes have seen too much shit, man.He’s pretty WASP-ish, yeah.You can usually see Al dressed in whatever latest trend is overtaking the youth of the nation. Sometimes this results in good fits and sometimes it results in cringe. He contains multitudes. Designer fits are rare, and if you see him in Air Jordans or Yeezys, he's probably saved up for months or gotten them secondhand.If you see him in a suit, he hates it, and he rented it because he doesn't know how to take care of a suit. All those times he's donned formal wear in the past? He's had a maid or assistant press it/launder it.His playby is John Ritter. Because they have the same level of dorkiness. His animated playby is himself, of course.

Biography

An obnoxiously smart little boy who is small for his age. Small and hungry. Hungry and ravenous. For fame, fortune, destiny--Generally for not being stepped on by anyone ever again.He lives in a rundown apartment with a woman he refuses to believe is his mother, Talia, and dreams of the day when he is able to attend St. Columba's: the nation's leading (and most controversial) educational facility for aspiring magicians. It's his meal ticket. His one chance to make something of himself and be special. It's too the point where he masks like crazy, hoping to convince everyone around him that he's different. Not who he thinks they'd hate.Of course, the school has it's own secrets that it would rather not be made public.Antony is an especially touch starved little nuisance in his youth, which only grows more irritating for him considering how much he hates being touched and how much he loathes being vulnerable towards others. Lonely? No no no, he's not lonely, he has himself.If asked, Antony will claim he has allies, not friends, but it is possible to sneak one's way into his heart--Is it worth it, though? Debatable.

Appearance

Every generic white pretty boy with brown hair.Alright, he's mixed, but white passing enough to get away with a lot of shit.Little to no muscle at all, signs of malnutrition in his youth. Average height, maybe a little shorter, especially in his early days at Saint Columba's, when he was malnourished thanks to poverty and the war. Rations are a bitch.His face, while beautiful, is rather sharp. Gaunt, if you will. As he grows older, the look that he's three steps away from death only grows stronger. Real gothic hero look, he'll break out in monologue any moment.His eyes are blue. Like a bright, clear sky.Playbys are just any basic white boys, but if I had to pick, it would be Belgian Model/Director Dorian Jespers.

Abilities

Magical
Dueling
He’s creative, ruthless, and powerful. His record is almost perfect, and to go head-to-head with him and survive for longer than a minute is a mark of immense skill.True Name
As like his mother, he knows the true name of many animals (both magical and not), which enables him to control them to his will. He has a personal affinity towards rats and his toad.Non-Magical
Cooking
Antony's always been an absurdly self-sufficient boy, and it's manifested itself in many ways: one of which is his ability in the kitchen. He's not exceptionally wonderful, but he's certainly creative (you need to be, when ingredients are scarce).

Verses

Modern Human AU
Upbringing may or may not change, but until otherwise noted, he was raised by a single mother (Talia) in a struggling home. As a result, he is an absolute bastard and a wonderful lawyer. The youngest in his firm. It's an excellent career because he loves to argue and loves to win. Contact him if you want to get away with murder.Sailor Moon
The reincarnated prince of a dark galaxy/moon, Antony awakens his memories during an accident in his high school chem lab. He sees and experiences flashbacks to his past life, and begins a mounting desire to control. To consume. Everything.Eventually he begins to make sense of his visions and learns to activate his powers of dark space, beast manipulation, and death.He picks his high school boys group as his official kingsguard: granting them incredible powers in exchange for their total loyalty.

★In the royal court, looking miserable sitting by the emperor, waiting to be called on to see into the future
★At a social event, being paraded around like a glass bauble and hating every second of it

Biography

Anzhelia was born in a world of fantasy, but her story can change to fit that of our Earth.Eldest twin to a grumpy and solemn brother, Anzhelina started out life relatively comfortable with a big family, and plenty of food in her belly. If a relative wasn’t a merchant, they were an artisan, and if they weren’t either of those, they weren’t a part of the family. Skilled labor and salesmanship is highly valued in her household, and since childhood, both Anzhelina and her brother were raised to continue on the family business/store–Of which migrated around in a large caravan from market to market along a bustling, thriving trade route.Well traveled and exposed to a multitude of cultures and tongues, Anzhelina had playmates from all walks of life, from all races, from all classes. If she wasn’t attracting them for her height, she was attracting them with her unusual gift: clairvoyance.Since birth, Anzhelina could see into the future. From visions, to tarot cards, to scrying, this little one could interpret it with startling accuracy. It caused her to mature leagues faster than she was ready for, and caused her parents to summon relatives who were more versed in the matter than they were. Under self study and tutelage from aunts she had never met, Anzhelina honed her psychic ability responsibly, and used it to bring in extra money during the harder months of trading.This, of course, catches the attention of wealthy, powerful people. More and more, word of her miraculous gift spreads until it reaches the ear of the crown Emperor, who demands that she be brought to him at once for his personal amusement and use.The event would be only the start of a long life of being used by others for personal gain and abuse–Until she finds a way out, she is stuck as the royal court’s official advisor and soothsayer.

Appearance

Tall and a bit scrawny, Anzhelina is often mistaken for a boy thanks to her angular features and lack of delicate aire. Her hands remain calloused from a hard day’s work, as does her body, but the more she stays at the palace, the weaker she grows, the softer she becomes.Once a light tawny color, her skin grows pale from being indoors so often (‘dark’ skin is not fashionable according to royal trends). Jaw is square (reminiscent of her father) with soft cheekbones and a large hooked nose that gives her old world face a charming look.Her small monolid eyes are warm brown and very kind. Very tired. Almost droopy. Hair is meticulously taken care of and brushed often. Either let loose when sleeping or in a braid when working. It is wavy and mouse brown, down to her lower back. Thick eyebrows are this close to joining elegantly into one.Playby is Ravshana Kurkova.

Abilities

Future Sight
Anzhelina is a powerful clairvoyant, receiving visions, premonitions, dreams, and messages through all sorts of mediums and methods; either willingly or unconsciously. Her predictions are all decision based, so they’re not guaranteed, but they have an excellent track record of being correct.Mercantilism
Being raised in a family of merchants, Anzhelina is brilliant at selling just about anything without even really trying. It's an art she excels at, and a tradition she's proud to continue on. Customers like her calm aura and down-to-earth honesty. They feel she is someone they can trust.

Verses

Grishaverse
A Ravka born girl with a talent for mercantilism, and a dangerous (and particular) Grisha power. At least, people think it’s Grisha power. Her foresight, while messy and hard to control, is coveted by many once word gets out of her astonishingly accurate predictions. Her Fabrikator abilities are often forgotten in response.She's a highly prized little king's pet, or so she's called in the court. She thinks about her twin everyday.ASOIAF
Born in the free cities and raised on the road, Anzhelina has seen it all: except for Westeros. Her traveling merchant family speaks ill of the place, citing uncivilized experiences and odd customs. But just as magic re-enters the world again, Anzhelina has a vision: she must go to the west. She must interfere.

Biography

Darling, splendid little girl with radiant hair and a shining smile–Isolated and kept hidden away like a treasured trinket in a box, only taken out in the dark or when no one was around. How was she to know she was a princess? That she was meant to lead and unite two kingdoms?Briar is a gentle soul with gentle hands and a wandering mind. She’s unnaturally shy thanks to all the warnings given to her by her aunts about strangers, though her instinct is to be extroverted. You’ll often find her doing chores around her home, foraging, dancing around the forest, or practicing her embroidery whilst chattering with the fauna.Due to her lonely nature, her social skills leave much to be desired, and she doesn’t really have a solid concept of personal space or conversation etiquette. Please do be patient with her, she has all the best intentions at heart.

Appearance

Miss Briar has flourishing golden hair as soft as silk and as curly as tidal waves. Her eyes are a pale indigo-lavender: unusual and lovely, befitting of a proper fairytale princess. Her skin is golden white thanks to the healthy amount of time she spends outdoors in the warm sun, though when she’s eventually confined to the small quarters of the palace, it will resemble something like fresh milk.She’s a petite little thing at 5'6 (she could definitely be shorter, but she has help from her father’s height) with a lithe dancer's body and rough calluses on the bottoms of her feet from walking barefooted everywhere. Her body is covered in little nicks and scars from her time growing up in the forest (she played fairy a lot), and her body has a natural nutty musk of earth.Her wardrobe in the forest are loose garments perfect for playing or frolicking. Most of them she sewed herself. Fairly simple (some might consider primitive) with her floral embroidery decorating the sleeves and hems. She's been scolded for going out "in her undergarments", but her chemise in the summer is the perfect frock!Once living in the castle, she's put in more colorful and luxurious kirtles...Which she likes, but she doesn't like the shoes that come with them.Playby is Kim Novak. Her animated playby is herself, of course.

Abilities

Song
Aurora was gifted with the ability to sing most skillfully, even without ever having a vocal lesson in her life. Since her teen years, her voice has been that of a young woman rather than a child, and she could easily blend in with an experienced chorus or opera troupe.Tailoring
Self taught, as she was never allowed to interact with others for very long. ESPECIALLY unchaperoned. Aurora started teaching herself to sew at a very young age (around seven) and became proficient very quickly: sewing her own clothes by the age of 10 and selling her embroidery by the age of 13. It's one of her favorite forms of self expression.Storytelling
As a lonely child, Aurora kept herself company with her own voice and silly little stories. The aunts were wondering with telling her bedtime stories, but they were not always available. Once at the castle, Aurora will busy herself by telling tales to the children in the citadel and entertaining them.

Verses

Changeling
There's something very strange about Briar Rose.Her skin is too pale, her eyes too dark, her teeth too sharp. Always watching, always curious, always cruel--But aren't all children like that? What makes her different? Wouldn't the faeries have sensed or realized something by now?Maleficent's curse takes a different form.Grishaverse
More than likely lost royalty again. Mixed Fjerden and Ravkan, raised by three Grisha in the wilderness near the Wandering Isle. Possibly a Squaller, though she was raised with no concept as to what a Grisha is or as to how hated and feared they are in many parts of the world. It’s very probable that people might try to frame her as a “legitimate” Ravkan heir.Modern AU
Briar was adopted by three elder women (don't ask how that worked out legally) as a baby and raised in the countryside among farm animals and very little people. She has a little roadside business where she sells crafts to travelers and townfolk.Bridgerton
Related to royalty, Aurora has had her entire life planned out from day one.Sent away to study at a convent in her youth, Aurora returns to her noble parents a beautiful young lady completely unprepared for the world of the Ton. Her life is truly an empty page that men wish to write on.Though she is enjoying the world of balls and gowns and finally getting to talk and socialize with others, she does not appreciate the leers and sharp tongues of others. She misses the beautiful woods she grew up in. The peace, the solace, the animals. Why should she get married, anyways? It's not like men have anything interesting to offer her...

Balam Hidalgo

Biography

Balam's mother, Inés, always joked that she grew him in the earth like a stalk of maize. He doesn't know when he started to believe her, but most people take her word seriously: considering his affinity for plants and herbalism.The only boy born in a family of women, Balam was spoiled from the moment he shared with his extended family that he wasn't a girl. After all, his mother wanted a son, and she always got what she wanted. Curse or no curse. There already being muxes in the family, his revelation was met with curiosity and acceptance, and the family quietly put away any evidence of ever thinking he was anything other than the bouncing baby boy that Inés foretold she would have.Despite the obvious love in the household, Balam grew up lonely and looking towards others for company. Animals, strangers, the dead. But none would grow to love him as much as the flora surrounding his home in the tropical woods. He works out of home and by traveling around making house calls to people who need anything from a midwife, a cure for rashes, poison for an abusive spouse, or a plant that will repel the evil eye.He's quiet, reserved, and blunt. Not fond of hiding the truth from others, even at the cost of politeness. He can be warm and affectionate, but only with a select few.His name is composed of several different languages from around the family and nation of Mexico. His mother is extra. She meant for his name to be read as "Gracious God of the River Jaguar".

Appearance

Balam has soft curls that loop and toussle well, but are usually hidden under a headscarf or hat. He doesn't usually bother styling it (much to the irritation of his mother), and instead lets his locks do as they wish. They are an inky black that shines coffee brown in direct sunlight.His hair is thick, so you KNOW his lashes are like a cow's, and his brows are serving broody lewks. Combine this with sharp cheekbones, brown eyes, and his dimples, he's kind of a hottie.Build is small and slender; he's 5'8, and most of that is lean muscle with very little fat a a few scars and tattoos (his hands are calloused).He's a surprisingly snazzy dresser, holding a wardrobe full of colorful guayaberas, traditional tops with handmade embroidery from around Latin America, and huarraches. Balam always prefers comfort over looks, and thanks to his confidence, he pulls off even the most lowkey of outfits in a very refined way.His playby is afro-mexican model Geron McKinley. Bio pic is by illustrator Sara Kipin.

Abilities

Herbalism
If it's ever grown on this earth, Balam has studied it and he knows what it can do to help or hurt a human body. People take to calling him a medicine man, but he claims no title relating to doctor or any kind of healer: he just knows what to take if you're feeling sick, stupid, or in love.Music
Music is very big in his family, and as a result of it, Balam grew up in a household with emphasis on how music brings people together. He can sight read like he's been doing it for centuries, and play piano, accordion, and guitar with ease. His singing voice is suited well for huapangos and mariachi.Teaching
Balam has a natural talent for mentorship and teaching others, particularly young children and teenagers, as he has the patience to deal with them. He can explain complicated topics in very simplistic ways, and is genuinely interested in the betterment of all students under his charge.

Verses

Soul Eater
A maester who brands a weapon in the form of rather dangerous hedgeclippers. He doesn't hunt witches, obviously, being one himself, and greatly resents those who do.Bridgerton
Funny...didn't the Hidalgo family have a daughter?Balam is certainly no noble, nor is his family rich. They are, however, prominent doctors: many of which have helped plenty of noble babies come into the world healthily with no casualties. His participation in the social season is merely niceties, but he is enjoying seeing people make complete fools of themselves.His practice and methods are unconventional, but they give good results. It's probably why everyone is tolerant of his blatant cynicism regarding their social customs.

★Being a Disney Channel bully to his crush

Biography

The sixth son of the High King of Elfhame, Cardan was born under unlucky stars that predicted a grim future for him and the kingdom.As a result, he was neglected by his father and starved for attention, which he only received by his equally neglectful mother: a king's consort who cared more for parties and entertainment than taking care of her own son. His elder siblings weren't much better, his brothers in particular taking to physically and verbally bullying (and abusing) him, alongside framing him for despicable actions. There came a time where he began to realize that no matter what he does, people will always see him as cruel and bad, so why not play the part?In other words, he grew up feral.Cardan's reputation is that of an unstable, unfit, and unworthy royal who rips the wings off of those who do not bow to him in public and steps on those he sees as lesser. He's irresponsible, incorrigible, and inane. Spends his time drinking, sleeping around, and indulging in general debauchery. Your standard hot mess. He does care for his loved ones, though. In the only way that fae can.

Appearance

At first glance, it's obvious that Cardan isn't human. There's an otherworldly air about him that simply doesn't exist in normal people. Plus, the pointed ears and inhumanely beautiful face is kind of a giveaway as well. Dark locks (black and iridescent as a raven's wing), dark eyes, dark soul. Sharp cheekbones (enough to cut out a girl's heart), thick brows, and a soft jaw...He's a nightmare dressed as a daydream.His frame is slim and delicate, he's never had a day of hard work or real training in his life. Skin is pale and smooth, and he always has a dewy look. He was born with it...But not the other makeup he puts on, that he applied for the drama. Smoky kohl lined eyes, blush, mascara, and the rest. Glam makeup is 100/100.He has a tail he hides from the public, at least when still a prince. It openly displays his emotions, even when his face is blank, much like that of a cat. It's long, lion-like, with a tuft of hair at the end. Don't touch it.Playby is Kento Yamazaki.

Abilities

Nature Manipulation
Cardan is one with the land once he's crowned king. If the land accepts him, he can use it to his own whims. This includes blooming once barren deserts, opening up the earth to swallow up enemies, boiling the magma deep under the sea, and controlling vines to suffocate and trap others.Glamor
As a fae, Cardan can use glamor (faerie magic) to disguise himself as a human in the mortal realm. This glamor can also be used to control and manipulate humans into a highly suggestive state where it's impossible to disobey him. In this state, they can be convinced that a trash heap is a pile of jewels, and a jail cell is the most luxurious of rooms in a palace.Riddles
Since birth, all fae children are trained in the art of wordplay. They are physically incapable of lying, so they have to be good at twisting words to get their way or avoid situations they don't like. Like talking about feelings.

Verses

Grishaverse
Cardan is an obnoxious little Fabrikator who's skilled at trickery and fooling even the most skilled evaluators of metal/gems/etc. He's often looked down upon by Corporalki and Etherealki, but he pays it forward by looking down on non-Grisha.He was rescued from a Shu Han colony under the cover of night, and it's largely rumored around camp that he's part of the royal family.

Vases, pendants, flares, vessels…If it is beautiful and rare, you can bet that it has passed through Chel’s hands. With an artisan father, and a merchant mother, Chel has mathematics, navigation, business, language, and art in her arsenal for life.Unfortunately, her fighting skills are more than lackluster.She knows her way around some instruments and paint brushes, but her real talent lies in her silver tongue (or gold tongue. jajaja).Her parents wanted more for her (to become a priestess of one of the Gods), but that obviously didn’t work out. despite her best efforts. She had started out great, serving the lovely and beautiful Flower Twins, when eventually it was noticed just how good Chel was at many things…The best, in fact…In general, it is not a good idea to try and pry into Chel’s personal life, she keeps her past close, and her secrets closer. If one is lucky, she will indulge you. If one is even luckier, it will be the truth.

Appearance

Standing in at about 160cm, Chel is a teeny woman that packs quite a punch. Though not blessed with thin lips, cross eyes, nor a noble birth to grant her a sloped forehead, she has strong muscles and smooth skin–As well as her long hair (a great source of her pride).It has been rumored that you can fit four hands flat across her ass, but none have dared tried.Chel’s hair is generally well behaved, but if left unattended, it will become a thick and tangled, matted monster. Her skin is warm and medium brown.Her clothing reflects her identity and personality: a loincloth too long for any real functionality, and a comfortable tube top–Her personal invention (she was tired of the wrap around sarong coming undone in her daily activity).Her posture is usually very relaxed and confident, keeping her shoulders back, chest out, and chin tilted upward–Her gait is very wide and animated, as there is often a bounce in her step.Her playbys are Karen Martínez and Karen Vega. Her animated playby is herself, of course.

Abilities

Persuasion
With beauty and smarts, Chel can talk anyone into doing just about anything: buying what she's selling, doing her favors, or just plain stupid things. A lot of this ability relies not just on her clever mouth, but also how beautiful or innocent the other party finds her. It all depends.Spirituality
Chel was a temple clerk for the Flower Twins before the beginnings of the El Dorado movie: she's good at knowing that Gods want and what will please them. She can read bloodletting messages, oversee rituals, and create pleasing altars for all in her pantheon.

Verses

Modern Human AU
Chel works in her parents' antique shop, where they sell cursed, strange, coveted, and mostly non-Euro artifacts. She's an excellent saleswoman, and can convince just about anybody to buy dirt from their own yard.She's also in college for business! Double major in business and Mesoamerican History with a minor in Art History. Catch her at your local art museum or underpass. Bring your board.Oh, and she's not Mexican, she's proudly Guatemalan.ASOIAF
Everything was going to hell before that white girl came and liberated Chel from her captors. She's not naïve: she knows Daenerys is only human, not some savior from her gods. But she's not stupid either: following the other will benefit her more in the long run than staying in this sacked city. Why, with her silver tongue, she could even worm her way into a place in her court... What could possibly go wrong?

Biography

Elle’s story is tricky. It changes and splices worlds and time, and really, it would take a long time to write it all out…But here are the universal notes:Elle is a young lady with Polish (or fantasy equivalent) ancestry whose family changes their name upon leaving their homeland (Kowalski to Smith), but keeps the faith (Roman Catholic from her father and Orthodox Judaism from her mother). Both parents are from sets of twins that married the other (twin boys to twin girls), and thus, their family is tightly knit and rarely strays far from each other.There is also, of course, a spirit line running through them via Elle’s maternal grandmother. One which she, her older brother, and baby cousin inherit readily. The parents are ill-equipped to help with such a gift, and thus send them to a small, local school for magisters alongside normal schooling. This yields mixed results.Suffering from severe anxiety, paranoia, depression, OCD, and various other ailments for almost her entire life, Elle is a ball of fears and issues. She feels constant self-pressure to live up to the reputation of her parents (and aunt and uncle): all respected medical professionals. Of course, not one of them has ever expected for Elle to follow in their footsteps (especially after they discover she could use magic), but that doesn’t stop her. After magic school was finished with, she flunked horribly out of pre-med, causing a breakdown of unsettling proportions.Swearing to return to try again after a bit of time away, Elle found herself in Brasilia with old schoolmates (tba to the blog), helping them with their family’s bakery. Having loved cooking since she was young (taught to her by her maternal grandmother), it was only natural that she lend a hand and knowledge on Kosher baked goods, right?She never returned.Elle is a proper, often dramatic young girl who needs to learn to follow her damn heart. Her magical core is light attuned, and she’s particularly gifted with food magicks and plants.

Appearance

While most other muses here are either tall or short, Elle is perfectly average at 5'5, but she can appear taller thanks to her perky posture.Upperbody is apple shaped, forming a bit of a V down to her waist: classic and old world. She’s very lean and angular–and mainly plain. Plain is a perfect word to describe Elle. The closest bodycanon I can think of is actress Fanny Brice.Amusingly, her eyes remain plain feeling despite the unusual color: one moment they look brown, the next they look green or blue. Perhaps they're still considered plain because of how small they are, or because people are always overlooking her in favor of her cousin (yikes). Regardless, they are a lovely highlight of her face, rivaled only by her large, arching nose and thin lips. A kind, pretty, but plain face. The face of a friend.Her hair is the brown of an oak tree. It’s short, parted in the middle, and styled as a bubble flip bob. Her skin is very pale and sunburns very easily.After she gets married, she wears a sheitel to cover her hair: these range from her natural hair color to bright blonde.Her clothing is very old fashioned, featuring vintage pieces from the 50s and 60s (and occasionally 70s and 30s). Elle highly prefers wearing dresses and skirts to pants. She is always clean cut, elegant, and presentable. On the outside, at least. If only her mind were as balanced.Her playbys are Fanny Brice and Elżbieta Czyżewska.

Abilities

Gastronomy
Elle grew up in the kitchen. Her knowledge of different breads, soups, roasts, and the like are ridiculously impressive, and it shows in the taste of her cooking. Food is central to her life because of the wonderful memories she holds of her grandmother and parents cooking food for her and her brother. It's a domestic ability that lends itself well to other areas of life.Super Strength
While in most verses, 'super strength' is a hyperbole, it can't be denied just how frickin' stronk Elle is. Her physical capabilities are definitely above average of a woman her size and age, and it can often take others by surprise. Catch her twisting up a baking tray as if it were cardboard, breaking a baseball bat in half like a toothpick, or lifting the couch so she can clean up the dust bunnies under it.She is, of course, a pacifist, and hates conflict, so unless one would have the misfortune of pissing her off via hurting her friends or loved ones, there's no reason to worry about getting mauled.

Verses

Humanverse
The doctor is IN.Diverging from her usual route as a baker (and eventual homemaker), Elle pursues knowledge of the mind and the many ways its threads get tangled up and knotted. Her own experience with mental illness and neurodivergency help fuel her compassion and drive for helping others make sense of what's going on inside their heads.She charges fairly and has managed to set up shop in a little office space just above an internet café.Soul Eater
Elle works at a bakery owned by her two friends within Death City, and spends her time figuring out how to convince everyone that the sun is NOT supposed to look like that.She is not a meister or a weapon, though her little cousin is the later, and don't you dare tell anyone about her witch ancestry.She doesn't particularly trust meisters, for obvious reasons, but will play nice with them if needed. She will, however, be nauseatingly anxious the entire time.Bridgerton
Not participating in the social season, thankfully. Elle wold break out into hives just based on nerves--Though she would be invited to do so, considering her parents' job as doctors.Instead, Elle prefers to spend her time baking: selling her pastries and cakes and saving up for her own shop. A temporary alternative until that dream is fulfilled is to be the cook inside a noble family's home: something as unappealing as it is anxiety inducing. Hopefully it won't come to that.She spends her time studying, worrying, cooking, and watching over her younger cousin: someone has to make sure she doesn't marry the first person who says he loves her!

★Erebus, or else dallying around in the domain of other gods

Biography

Disaster has long existed before man ever looked to the heavens and imagined higher beings there, but Eris was only given form the first time man ever entered pandemonium. Before she was nothing, a whisp of a hurricane, a breath of a predator, a memory of a volcanic eruption. But with humans, she was a cataclysm. A divine, long shadow that cast devastation and upheaval. The first time man despaired, Eris opened her eyes and saw beauty in the chaos.Eris is known by many names, in many forms. She has appeared before bellicose war generals, corrupt politicians, on edge run-of-the-mill people, and has shown them all the way it should be.Humans are trite, tiring, and tedious. They are also, however, Eris' main source of entertainment. It's just so fun and easy to twist their meaningless little lives into chaos. To shred their fragile concept of normal into ribbons and then bask in their strife. Their hysteria. Their despair. Why, sometimes, they don't even really need her help. Sometimes they're as bad as she, perhaps even worse. Those are the best ones, her favorite ones. Always feeding her with discord.Contrary to the belief of many: Eris' most hated thing isn't harmony, but boredom. Though, to be fair, they are often the same thing to her.The more unpredictable or unstable one is, the more Eris likes you. Well, "likes" is an interesting word. Perhaps if you're lucky enough, it'll never come to that.

Appearance

A key component of Eris in her non-corporeal form is just how fluid she is: she never ceases moving. Never pauses or takes a moment to breathe. Her movement, hair, limbs, and the rest are in constant change. Appearing as if made from smoke. Her hair always flowing as if under water.Her size is naturally ten times bigger than an actual human mortal: but she can shift and shrink to whatever she likes if it suits her. This includes her own uncanny appearance: pale slate skin can turn flesh colored quite easily if she likes. Her yellow eyes with red irises becoming a more human black.Eris is slim in body type, helping with the visual idea of her being slippery and wispy. As untouchable and elusive as trying to grab smoke. Or trying to keep a wave upon sand.Playby is Merve Boluğur. Her animated playby is herself.

Abilities

Manipulation
Eris will do what it takes to get the results she wants, and that especially includes weaving together words and situations in which the people involved have something she wants.Influence
Even without her silver tongue, just being in her presence is often enough to get people unstable and fighting. Afraid and impulsive. It's flattering really.Shapeshifter
Both in a literal and not so literal sense.Eris can change her size at will: appearing to be average height for a human in one moment, and colossal the next: the size of a modern cruiseliner! She can also whip up a human body to puppet and possess, usually for the purposes of tricking others.While her smoky form is preferred and super sexy, her original form is similar to that of a harpy: wings, talons, and plenty of feathers.

Biography

As the spare after the heir, Evan expected his life to turn out dull.Then his older brother, Elliot, died, and he was emergency groomed into the perfect Briar heir of the English branch.His family is known for being curious and interested in matters of art and high culture, most notably architecture (their main villa in Canterbury is modeled after Versailles). Evan, himself, is fond of literature and mythos, alongside the noble art of Dueling.Though his family works like a Confederacy: every small pod of father, mother, and children work as their own unit, Evan makes sure they’re all looked after and taken care of, even the Briars in France, who notoriously do not have a good relationship with those in England. He feels estranged from the other branches of his family, but feels he has no power to change it.He’s very notably prejudiced, and often (mostly as a child) repeats the same drivel as his parents do without really knowing the significance or meaning behind the words. He makes exceptions to the rule rather than change his thinking when he meets poor, or otherwise unusual witches who do not fit into the stereotype he was raised with. This point of view does not change much into his adulthood.He marries young, a match arranged by his mother, and has one son. He dotes on him as much as he can, and on any nieces and nephews from his cousins.

Appearance

Evan was born with dark brown hair that slowly lightened up to blonde as he grew older. It’s on the straighter side of wavy, and kept at a medium length throughout his adolescence and young adulthood. His skin, not being much for the outdoors, is cream colored and pale.His nose is straight, a little big for his heart shaped face, and as a child, his ears stick out too far from his head. His build is slender and non-athletic, as he is both rich and noble, and has no need of “working out” outside of noble sports like falconry or croquet. If he grows out his facial hair, his baby face is adequately hidden.As he grows into middle and late adulthood, so does his hair and beard.His playbys are Charlie Rowe and Thomas Sangster.

Verses

Bridgerton
Lord Briar isn't a rake, but he is certainly well supported should he ever choose to be one. That is: he is quite popular with many young women. Money, looks, a decent head on his shoulders... The only thing stopping them from trying is his fierce mama, who is hellbent on getting him to marry a woman of her choice.Luckily, he has the excuse of still being young and wanting to support his family's estate without the stress of looking for a suitable bride. Could it be that he's holding out for romance?

Biography

Said to have been born from seafoam (though considering her stubbornness, being carved from volcanic rock is more accurate), Giulia rose into life like a Phoenix during the 8th century BCE into the arms of her mother, Greece, and later stumbled into the arms of another mother: Rome.Sharp as nails, and clever as the Devil, Giulia (known then as Magna Graecia) flourished among her people like a flower among busy bees. She’s seen growth, war, disaster, and a plethora of governments.Many nations (indeed, many other Italies) seek to join the government and politics to further help people, but Giulia sees herself as more of a guardian. A spirit. A patron saint. She is a God, showering her love and blessings among those who believe in her. Who love her. Who worship her.She does not waste time on nonsense, and does not beat around the bush. Giulia is a roaring flame, and frequently the most elegant person in the room. She’s chin up and regal and do-not-speak-unless-spoken-to at first sight, but if one manages to become important to her, she melts into the warmest person.

Appearance

Medium length fluffy hair, down to her shoulder blades; a reddish dark brown–easy to manage unless she forgets to use her special shampoo, in which case it will get wildly curly and poofy–the humidity doesn’t help. Her skin is olive coloured–the Iberian and Roman influence is not lost on her, though she gets lighter in the wintertime when she’s not out as much. Eyes are honey-ochre brown, not green thank you very much. More rounded at the top than bottom–medium length eye lashes. Usually fixed in a judging stare.Nose is delicately arched, looking like it was broken one or twice, but it ties in the sharp and alluring features of her face quite nicely. Acute, diamond shaped face with lips that are thicker than most, but not too much. She carries the high forehead of a king, or perhaps maybe the daughter of a king, it shows intellect. Eyebrows are kept thick and trimmed in a sophisticated arch, the secret is olive oil, my friends.Well built in her legs from walking just about everywhere in those heels, though plump around her rear and tummy, but food is her love, so who can blame her? It makes her hourglass figure that much more exaggerated. A good bodycanon for her is Ashley Graham.Playbys are Sophia Loren and Monica Bellucci.

Biography

Born in a well established magical household and heir to what can only be described as a military dynasty, Hạnh knew she was destined for greater things. Tasks and ambitions beyond becoming a docile housewife for some lesser man. Something where her cunning and loyalty could be adequately used and rewarded.Growing up was difficult for Hạnh. Everyone expected something different out of her for their own selfish reasons, and nobody listened to a damn thing she said. All she had were her sisters, and for a while, her cousins, whom she protected with her life (and often smothered with her affections, which weren't always soft or kind).Family comes first for Hạnh, it's how she was raised. To a point of delusion and an undying need to control and manipulate. Whoops!She is married to an unassuming man who spends his days isolated in his study, out of sight and out of mind. What does she do with her time? Why, keep the house running, and attend to her silly little womens' meetings of course :) She must do what she must for the Empire!Eventually, she will come to teach at St. Columba's: a newly erected, highly controversial, and dangerous school for mages. What could go wrong?

Appearance

Strikingly gorgeous. A dark sort of beauty: pitch hair, pale skin, high cheekbones, and sharp, heavy lidded eyes. Her body naturally has a slim frame with subtle, minimal curves. She was a great beauty growing up, and had she a more agreeable personality, she might have been popular with the other children in her community.Her wardrobe as a child featured hideously proper frocks with frills and ribbons (thanks mom), and the moment she was able to reach any sort of independence, she exchanged them for simple minimalist clothing.Her playbys are Shei Phan (young) Hong Chau (older).

Abilities

Dueling
Hạnh has an almost perfect win record when it comes to dueling (with magicks or otherwise--she's fearsome with a rapier). One shouldn't approach her for a spar unless it's friendly, and if one does, they should only do it if they're absolutely certain that they'll win. Anything less and it won't end well.Child Care
Hanh is, surprisingly, very tender when it comes to children. Patient, understanding, and extremely protective of them. This compounds if the children in question are a part of her family, and (naturally) doesn't excuse the questionable things she might teach said children. But her intentions are...well, they're not evil.Song
Voice of an angel is correct: she has the voice of a fierce warrior. A herald of God! It's trained, strong, and alluring: spurring rumors in her youth that she had creature blood in her. While she dabbles in using her voice in her magic, it's the voice of a regular old person.

Biography

Not a fucking owl, thank you very much.Instead of a bird, you get an untamable spitfire. Hedwig is a loud, large girl who does as she likes, and damn anyone who has anything to say about it. Born wealthy and privileged, there is little she hasn’t the power to do, own, or destroy. Combine that with an alarming talent for witchcraft, and you have a ticking bomb on your hands that nobody knows the disarming code for.The short witch is an excellent debater, and can be polite and professional when needed. Be warned that she snaps from 0 to 100 in less than a second, and you could find yourself at the end of a few nasty curses (words and spells). She has a conscience and a sense of right and wrong, somewhere in there, but unfortunately her parents are doing their best to stomp that out like a flame. Luckily, she’s headstrong and doesn’t let others influence her so easily.Her family on her father’s side has more influence than God in Ireland. They’re prim, highbred, and absolute assholes–Luckily for Hedwig, Mummy dearest decided to be unfaithful the night Hedwig was conceived. It would explain her appearance and why she doesn’t look like anyone in her family, save for a passing resemblance to mum.On her mother’s side, Hedwig has American influences and ancestry: particularly a certain branch of witchcraft that has a very large interest in Hell and Satan. She’s yet to go through her Dark Baptism, but has 0 qualms about doing it as long as it means living as she likes.
She has yet to meet her real father. Or realise that she even has a real father.Her closest relative is her elder sister, Eric, whom she only resembles in the eyes (dear mum’s eyes). Both parents pit them against each other a lot, and as Hedwig gets older, she realizes it’s because her mother wants her to inherit all of her father’s lands and titles.As she begins to see and pick apart the disgusting society she was born into, she realizes two things: one, her father is not hers. Two: she’s in love with her best friend, another woman. These two things, should they be made public, would place a large target on her back. Clearly the only solution is to overthrow this popsicle stand and expose it for the sham it is.

Appearance

The very first thing you note about Hedwig is her hair: white as paper, and wild like a bush. It’s very fluffy and wooly, almost cotton like, and extremely textured. Her mother makes her brush it all out and straighten it as much as she can, but it refuses to be tamed. No one else in her family has hair like hers.Her skin is noticeably pale as well (mum makes her stay out of the sun at all times, but Hedwig loves the sunshine) and freckles very easily. Face is chubby and vaguely heart shaped with a round, flattened nose, thick lips, and a defined cupid’s bow. Eyebrows are embarrassingly dark, but at least that means they’re visible. Her eyes are a lovely deep hazel.
At 159cm, Hedwig earns the nickname ‘hobbit’, not that she likes it. Her body is soft, round, and chubby, with voluptuous curves of splendid fat that give her a womanly figure years before that of her elder sister.Hedwig dresses very preppy during her younger years because it's what her mother dressed her in. She doesn't mind this style, and keeps aspects of it in her adulthood, but she largely prefers to dress for comfort (while still dressing expensive).

Abilities

Satanic Rituals
Hedwig's mother comes from a Magical Satanic background, and has personally ensured that her traditions and beliefs live on in her youngest. Hedwig knows how to recognize the signs of the devil, summon and communicate with him, pray to him, and use his gifts. It is not through Satanic means that she has magic, but it certainly does boost her powers.Potions
A strong subject for her, potions is a very difficult craft to best Hedwig in. Academically, its her best class, and as a hobby, she's naturally gifted. To the point where she doesn't try to study or improve herself at all. Of course, this does cause her to fall behind those who do try their best, but all it takes is a little bit more effort on her part to close that gap.

Basics

Current Name: Hoelun Borjigin
Hoelun, the mother of the khan who united all of Mongolia.Borjigin was the name of the Mongol khanlig in which Ghenghis Khan was born. Mongols do not have surnames like Westerners do, and many use the names of old tribal confederations, or simply use a patronym. Hoelun, while not being close to any representative she would consider her father, greatly admires all of them, but would not like to cause confusion on passports for any humans.Old NamesEiji, meaning ‘second born son’. The Mongols often named their children something undesirable such as ‘not this one’ or ‘no name’, in order to discourage evil spirits from harming them. Seeing as Hoelun was born female, it was an obvious choice for the people who took care of her. Those who knew her as a child know her by this name.Temur, meaning ‘iron’. The name she gave herself upon following Temujin (‘blacksmith’ in Mongol). After his mother’s death, she took her name instead in her memory and honor. Those who knew her in her early days of conquest, know her by this name.Russian Name: Агрипина · Agripina, Meaning ‘wild horse’
Monoglia was a close ally to the USSR, and many Mongols were given Russian names. She does not go by this (nick)name anymore, though if you roleplay a Soviet Union, they would call her by this. If you roleplay a Russia, it’s your choice.Chinese Name: 莲花 · Lianhua, Meaning ‘lotus flower’
Chinese personal names are very common in inner Mongolia. It is a (nick)name that China or Manchuria might call her by. It’s up to you.Ethnicity/Race: Mongol. Slightly mixed with Manchu, Han, Turkish, Tibetian, Siberian, etc…Physical Age: Mid thirties to early forties—Though she often looks younger thanks to her lovely complexion.Languages: All of Mongolia’s distinct dialects and languages, Russian, Tibetan, Tatar, Mandarin, Manchu, Korean, Turkish… Though these are at varying levels.Sex/Gender: Female/Demi-Girl. She feels comfortable in the role of masculinity that her upbringing has brought, but not enough to call herself a man. She pronouns are fine, in fact, she is very proud of having those pronouns. It’s best not to question her about it, she doesn’t know anything or much about gender identities.Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, probably, with a great preference for men.Virtues: Tactful, cunning, resourceful, level-headed, logical, traditional, spiritual, wise.Vices: Stubborn, prideful, superstitious, vain, entitled, wrathful, scary x_x.Religion: Still believes in the Eternal Mother Sky (Tengriism). Sometimes she’ll wander into a (Tibetan) Buddhist temple though.Family:
Claims to be descendant from the Sun itself—A reference to the Huns (Xiongnu) who were literally called the Sun People (Hun-nu) by the Mongolians. They could be considered her father or older sibling, and she will not deny it.Oirat (Siberia) is seen as something of a big brother as well, albeit a distant one.She has relatives in Turkey, Tibet, and Manchuria. She claims no relation to China. The formers, however, can be seen as siblings or cousins of sorts, I’ll leave that to you.Her solid siblings are the Tatars and Khitans, well as other tribes living on the steppe, such as the Merkid.Her “children”/descendants could be modern North and South Korea. That is, if said Korea(s) is only the modern representative, and again, only if you interpret that relationship that way. History doesn't have solid "familial lines" like that.Goryeo, then, would be somewhat of a spouse/lover, though that’s really up to interpretation. I will not assume anything.Magyar, she doesn’t know much about, and by extension, Hungary.

Biography

Born into this world after the other Mongolia whom humans called her brother, Hoelun was given the name Eiji, meaning 'second born son'. The Mongols often named their children something undesirable such as ‘not this one’ or ‘no name’, in order to discourage evil spirits from harming them. Eiji was an obvious choice for the people who took care of her, as all they saw when they looked at her was a delicate, weak little girl. Sickly.Her second name came to her upon following Temujin—Genghis Khan. It was only fitting that she be named Temur (iron) if he was Temujin (blacksmith). He formed her into a sharp weapon and lead her to glory, out of poverty and starvation.Hoelun is her third name, after Temujin's mother, which she took on after her death.Despite appearing to be cold and aloof, Hoelun deeply cares about those she considers family and friends. Many of the other Asian (and European) nations only saw her arrow and thirst for conquest, rarely has anyone seen her motherly, hospitable side, unless they brave visiting her yurt for some fresh yogurt and vodka.She claims to be a descendant from the Sun itself—A reference to the Huns (Xiongnu) who were literally called the Sun People (Hun-nu) by the Mongolians. It is a legacy that she proudly upholds and one of the last remnants of her vanity. She doesn't miss the glory of war, however.In a nutshell: Hoelun is a mother figure, who also happens to be a warrior. Though in the eyes of many ancients, she might be considered young, make no mistake: she is old, and has seen her share of blood, both on the battlefield and off.While she feels comfortable in the role of masculinity that her upbringing has brought, she's not comfortable enough to call herself a man. She pronouns are fine, in fact, she is very proud of having those pronouns. It’s best not to question her about it, she doesn’t know anything or much about gender identities.

Appearance

Broad, with thick thighs, good for riding horses without reins. She’s well fed, and could be considered plump if you only saw her clothed. Lightly tanned skin (it used to be paler) and dark black eyes that are a little far apart, accompanied with a pearl nose, and cheekbones that would cut your hand if you were to slap them, all gathered on a wide, round face. Hair is as dark and black as her eyes and kept cropped at just below her shoulders. Usually tied in a low ponytail.She’s tall for being Mongol—About 5’6. She usually wears deels and other traditional garb, and occasionally wears western clothing: usually embarrassing slogan tees and jerseys for Mongol sports teams.Her playby is Khulan Chuluun. Animated icons drawn by Phobs and Bev Johnson.

Abilities

Horse riding
Hoelun learned to ride a horse later in life than she had wanted, but she more than makes up for it in her skill. Horses take well to her, no matter what their temperament, and she’s never once fallen off. She can shoot off the back of a running horse, and claims she can even ride one backwards.Archery
If she can shoot off the back of a running horse, she can sure as hell do it standing still. You’d be hard pressed to find someone rivaling Hoelun’s ability with a bow: she knows she’s never found one.Drinking
Do not challenge Hoelun to a drinking contest.

Verses

Grishaverse
An Etherealki of fire who immigrated out of Shu Han when she was a small child. She lives just on the border of the nation, migrating around as she wishes and living a quiet life away from people.ASOIAF
Hoelun is a Khal of her own growing caravan of warriors and people, who do not see her as either male nor female. The secret to her success is training the women at home for defense while she and the warriors go out for battle or raids. Her braid is long and reaches the top of her thighs.While no-nonsense and formidable, she is hospitable when the occasion calls for it, and is known for being fair... Well, fair for a Khal, anyways.One can often see her on her horse: small but sturdy, with one of her three children slinged to her chest, and a kestrel on her arm.Naruto
Hoelun's tribe is composed of low-class mercenaries who are looked down upon by surrounding clans, peoples, and cities. That being said, their prowess in battle is nothing to sneeze at. She specializes in archery, fire jutsu, a form of taijutsu that resembles wrestling, and beast taming.

Biography

He's a spoiled boy! Loved on and doted by his parents up until their untimely deaths, upon where he and his sister were then taken in by his uncle, who was a wizard. This was the start of his love of magic.After entering the Royal Sorcery academy, he excelled and gained favor with Madam Sullivan quickly. He was a beloved student who made quick work of all problems set before him and was set to become the Royal Sorcerer's successor.Until he gave his heart to a demon, anyways. It all sort of went downhill from there.All he really does is run away; people keep trying to control him!! So what if he's irresponsible, has no heart, and runs away from all his problems? Does that make him a bad guy? Well maybe. He's not perfect. He'll be all over a beautiful woman or man until they start returning his feelings, and then he'll bail. He'll be all over a job until it becomes too much responsibility. In other words: he's never had to grow up.Despite his shortcomings, Howl is still a frightening powerful and skilled wizard (much in part thanks to the pact he made with a demon). He prefers not to duel or fight, but he loves showmanship. Ask him to do some cool parlor tricks, he'll be happy to dazzle.As of now, he lives his own way in a moving castle with various aliases. His apprentice, Michael, and the fire demon that keeps his castle running, Calcifer, are really his only friends.
He dotes on his nephews like no one's business, despite his sister's aversion to his magic.

Appearance

He's a stupid little prettyboy with soft looks. At least, with his makeup on. He's rightfully vain! Because his lavish locks, clear skin, and enchanting blue eyes are enough to make any idiot fall in love with him. Nevermind that he's a bottle blond, he'll deny it to his grave.Howl's face is delicate and symmetrical. A fine blend of traditionally femenine and masculine features that make him look rather elfish. Though he does not work out, he eats relatively well (when he remembers to eat) and has a lithe frame.No real life playby yet. His animated playby is himself, of course.

Abilities

Make-up
While he's not ugly, Howl is certainly not as special looking without his cake face. He takes great care in his appearance and will be HIGHLY upset at anyone seeing him without his face on.Magicks
Quite obviously: Howl is a talented wizard. He's excellent with runes and sigils, transfiguration, and ancient languages. Potions as well, though it was not his best subject in school. Various people have come to him for their magical needs, and he's always responded in kind with fantastic products and labor.Dancing
Howl learned to dance as a child, and is a marvelous partner. He enjoys letting the music carry him, and it's one of the few times where he's himself without worrying about his struggles or issues.

Verses

Grishaverse
Much similar to his canon roots, Howl is a Grisha on the run from many things: the draft, scorned lovers, responsibility, and his own self. His moving castle is all Fabrikator made: by him. Are we not all things? He’s a dangerously talented Grisha who was set to work alongside the Darkling as a Heartrender in his army, but after making a curious magical contract, he disappeared. He’s a wanted man!ASOIAF
Howl is a traveling court entertainer. More specifically a magician--Oh no no, he knows that magic isn't real, silly! It hasn't been present in centuries :) Why, don't look too closely at that trick he's doing and don't ask any more questions...

Biography

Inej learned to dance before she learned to walk.Her early childhood was a beloved one, filled with the warmth of her parents and siblings, and a multitude of cousins. There was never a time when she was alone or wanting for company. Never a time where she ever felt the absence of love.This changed, of course. How else would her story happen?Slavers are common, unfortunately, and they enjoy targeting the most vulnerable. At fourteen, Inej is taken from her bed and put on a ship to be sold in Ketterdam, where she subsequently worked as a housekeeper and caretaker for Tante Heleen: a cruel and manipulative brothel owner. As an “indentured” in the care of Heleen, Inej is paraded around as a sort of exotic pet, witnessing too many shady and unfortunate deals. It was Tante Heleen’s expectation that once Inej became broken (tamed, in her words), that she would become a full employee in her brothel. That day never came.Now, at the age of seventeen, she’s built up her reputation as The Wraith of Ketterdam: a girl who is more shadow than human, who slips through the alleys and canals without sound or notice. Who steals secrets and treasures from under the noses of all.Inej has a strong sense of morals and justice, and struggles to live her life to her own standards all while maintaining her survival. It is difficult for her to be as soft as she was as a young child, but she still has a warm heart in spite of it all.

Appearance

Slim and lithe, appearing to be quite fragile at first glance. However, underneath her slender figure are strong muscles that carry her over the rooftops of Ketterdam. Her training in the early years of her life was similar to that of a gymnast, and so her body has compacted nicely into that of an athlete.Inej is small, barely 5’2 if she stands up straight, balancing on the balls of her feet. Her hair, a source of comfort and pride, is long and raven, brushing against the top of her thighs. Her face is sharp underneath the layers of babyfat that has yet to completely disappear. Her dark eyes, underneath thick eyebrows, are large and engulfing. Her nose straight and imposing.Her playbys are Radhika Apte and Ayesha Dharker.Amita Suman icons can and will be used as needed because she does a stunning job.

Abilities

Acrobatics
Inej’s childhood training with her family of performers has helped her balance, flexibility, agility, and sense of grace. She can walk along a tightrope, do flips in the air, balance on other performers, and keep her cool in tight spots. This ability also lends to her parkour power.Knives
The knives that Inej uses in her work are an extension of her own body. Her soul. It would be a good idea to not cross her while she has these knives on her person, and she always has these knives on her person: they’re named after her Saints.

Biography

At the age of seven, Jude saw her parents murdered before her eyes alongside her twin and her older sister (Taryn and Vivienne). The murderer was none other than Vivienne's legitimate, natural father (Madoc), who had been under the assumption that their mother and his unborn child were dead.It also so happens that this man was a redcap: a fae.Bound by duty, he takes his heir and his wife's children back with him to Faerie where he raises them as his own. Feeding, clothing, and housing them as his wards. His own children.Needless to say, Jude's childhood was fucked up.While she stored intense hatred for Madoc for the first few years, she grew to love him in her own way. He taught her the art of war and battle, as redcaps are bellicose by nature, and crave violence and conflict. As a result, Jude is cunning and physically fit. Madoc made sure to always treat her and her twin as his legitimate daughters.The rest of the fae in the High Court didn't take to them as nicely.Though Elfhame is all she really remembers, and she considers it her home, she will always be an outsider. Both she and her twin face constant harassment and belittlement from other fae, particularly members of the High Court. Human children are fine and dandy until they're raised with the same privileges as fae nobility, it seems.Jude excels at most everything she applies herself to, and she is so very tired of dumbing herself down for the sake of others. For the sake of keeping her head down. She's done pretending to be baby, she wants power.And that power comes to her in the form of becoming the third prince's spy.

Appearance

Jude is clearly, painfully human. Her body type is stout and curvy, emphasizing muscles in her limbs and fat on her chest and hips. Her heart shaped face is visibly softer than that of her fae contemporaries, and her hair (unruly yet pliable) is the brown of a willow bark. Almost always in her iconic horn updo. She's a short little woman, but she packs quite a punch at 5'4.Her eyes are the color of walnuts: unusual for someone living in the Fae realm. The very top of her left ring finger was bitten off when she was nine by one of her father's guards (who ate it in front of her). She's never told anybody about it.Jude's wardrobe consists of high fantasy pieces that would be impossible for a human to replicate (dresses made from moonbeams and the wings of dragonflies level shit), but in terms of her undergarments, they're regular human styles...bras are cute!During her time in the human world, you can find her in jeans and a t-shirt.Playby is Jessica Sula.

Abilities

Glamor Immunity
Due to a special geas placed on her by the third-in-line to the throne, Dain, Jude is immune to all faerie magic in exchange for complete obedience. This means she cannot be tricked by illusions or manipulated under a highly suggestible state (she is still, however, vulnerable to faerie fruit, revelries, and the rest). This ability is only known to her for the majority of her story.Healing
Once crowned queen, the land can heal her if necessary by calling upon it. Wherever her blood spills, flowers bloom from it.Swordsmanship
As mentioned, Jude was raised by a redcap: a highly warlike species of fae that require frequent bloodshed. More specifically, the head general redcap. Her skills with weapons are nothing to sneeze at, and she's gone toe-to-toe with various worthy opponents and come out of it alive.

Verses

Grishaverse
A first army recruit, in part thanks to her adoptive father (a high ranking military official). She kicks major ass, and is one of the few non-Grisha to regularly kick Grisha ass. You can thank her power complex and insatiable need to beat snot-nosed Grisha snobs into the dirt.Witchverse
Humanborn Free Agent who's gifted enough to piss off the most brutal of purist witches. This ambitious bitch will beat your ass into the ground for daring to look at her blood and spit on it. Her adoptive father is a witch head of house who was in love with her mother before her passing (spoiler alert: he definitely killed her).Due to her adoptive father's warlike nature, she was taught harsh dueling spells and hexes at a young age. If she uses most of them in a school-duel, she will most certainly be disqualified.ASOIAF
After having chased her mother and father to the far reaches of Braavos, Madoc slays them and takes home Vivi, Jude, and Taryn to raise as his own back in Westeros.Obviously a controversial move, it's not like many people could say anything about it. To Madoc's face, that is. Behind the scenes, both Jude and Taryn received their fair share of bullying and harassment for the simple sin of being, well, somehow worse than a bastard.As much as Jude tried in her early years to get on well in court and be a good lady: she knew it was no use. The majority would never come to accept her. Not without a fight. It's a damn good thing they're Ironborn. Otherwise Jude would have never been allowed to wield a sword outside the fortress.She spends her time idolizing the stories of shield maidens and knights, riding her horse, and training with her sword.

Biography

Your new favorite capitalist, Jumin Han, is the Executive Director of C&R International–A company owned and founded by his father. You can often see him going over paperwork, terrifying new employees, stressing out his assistant, Jaehee Kang, or starting up deadend projects involving cats using company time.He can come off as callous and uncaring due to his utilitarian worldview, but he is only trying to make the most pragmatic, subjective decision possible with what he has. Unfortunately, due to his detachment, this also leads to him missing the fucking point on a lot of issues. AKA: He’s the reason why we unionize.Jumin is also a proud member of Rika’s Fundraising Association (RFA), an organization that hosts parties for people of all social classes to come, network, and donate to charity. The RFA was founded by his two best friends Jihyun Kim and Rika, the later of whom passed away suddenly after two years.Being a very private person, it’s extremely difficult to win his attention, much less his favor. He’s a man of refined tastes, and highly distrusts others (especially women) who attempt to befriend him or his father. In part because of deep rooted cynicism, in part because his father has a nasty habit of marrying gold diggers.The love of his life is his cat, Elizabeth III.

Appearance

Mr. Pinstripe Suit is a broad shouldered, 187cm, fit little number. Tremble before him. Or something.Black hair that’s neatly tousled, dark grey eyes always fixed in a piercing stare, a lovely big nose that’s perfect for a cat to swap at, narrow face, strong jaw, and soft, healthy skin…What’s not to love? He’s a classically handsome Korean bombshell.His usual outfits are always expensive, comfortable, professional, and tailored. Hence: why he always looks so good, literally all his clothes are made or altered to fit him. He's never heard of sweats, so one can only assume he works out in some sort of expensive, exclusive, experimental fabric that absorbs sweat, lets you breathe, and also come out of a workout smelling like daisies. He has never heard of a thrift store, and would be morbidly curious to visit one. All of his clothes are brand, and he's never been to the food court portion of the mall.His playby is Lee Min Ho. His animated playby is himself, of course.

Unfortunately, (in his words) there are uncouth gold diggers and tramps surrounding him.Rather than interact with people, he shuts himself in with his chosen few--As well as his beloved cat. Despite his apparent cold nature, he is quite active in humanitarian pursuits.Witchverse
Jumin would normally attend a private school located in Korea, or else be privately tutored his whole life. He's ambitious, cunning, self-preserving, and follows his own rules. His loyalty and love of hard work is strong.As if it needed to be said: Jumin is a full blooded witch on both sides of his family, and is often unaware and/or ignorant of the privilege this brings him. His house is ancient and noble, and has ties throughout magical Asia (West and East). Despite the pride in his blood and heritage, he doesn't look down upon humans, and will happily interact and study with them.His familiar is obviously his beautiful white Persian, Elizabeth III.

Biography

The first thing Lisa remembers is learning to walk. After that, it’s all a bit of a blur.Having been forced to grow up quickly, both physically and mentally, Lisa has a deepened sense of responsibility and duty. Though the youngest in the little ‘family’ of German-speaking nations, she’s always the first you call in an emergency. Always the first you turn to when decision making. Always the first in line to help. Always prepared. Always ready.Up front, she is a professional, letting loose only around her friends, family, and people. Outside of EU and G19 meetings, she’s easily approachable and very friendly. Often, you can see her biking in the cities, enjoying a beer in the bars, or relaxing in the countryside—possibly hiking. Ever the busy bee, she makes sure to take time out to enjoy herself, especially by taking fequent trips to Mallorca in the summer (those poolside chairs are hers, England, watch your fucking back.)She’s fairly kind to humans, especially if they’re her people, and won’t shy away from interaction. As a child, she was a strong believer in fae and magical creatures, but due to discouragement, carries doubts about them.Growing up, she was told that her destiny was to conquer the world, but now all she wants to do is enjoy it. Nurture it.

Appearance

A round face with a strong chin and wide forehead—a sign of temper and intelligence, respectively. Lips are thick, and reddish, probably from her biting them often. She carries a small, straight and buttonish nose—also red—and large, unsaturated moss green eyes. Eyebrows and eyelashes are naturally thin thanks to a fire burning them away when she was small. She has lots of hair atop her head, very thin, though. It’s a deep brown colour that shines a little lighter in the sunlight and gets blonder during the summers. It goes down to her lower back.Body is slender and decently built, seeing that she either walks or rides her bicycle everywhere. She’s built a little like a board with minimal curves, though her hips jut out in the slightest. Growing up, Lisa was very bony, and very tall. Even now, she stands at 177cm.Playby is Fiona Apple.

In reality, Lisa is wonderful with espionage and gathering information: people just find her so harmless and charming! She is not Grisha, but if she were, she would be an Alkemi.Witchverse

It's not that she doesn't like studying or academia, it's just that the curriculum doesn't much interest her at the Royal Sorcery Academy.

Biography

María was born the same year as her beloved México: an omen for her own future.Born to two working class bakers in the middle of six other children, María wanted for nothing when it came to love and affection. She was coddled and played with and kissed multiple times a day (alongside being scolded, spanked, and hit). It was a good childhood, if not unstable and dangerous with all the political turmoil happening.And then one day she met a vampire.María’s sire was a drop-dead gorgeous woman from the south of her little town who easily won the heart of the young and naive 19 year old girl. She began slowly feeding off María’s blood in secret–Drank from her wrists, but never enough to kill. Never enough to turn.It wasn’t enough for María either.Though the exposure to her sire’s venom was minimal, it built up and up throughout the years until it began to affect her negatively. Sunlight annoyed and caused headaches, human food slowly became more and more unappetizing, and María spent an absurd amount of time at the butcher’s looking in at the fresh meat…It was bad enough that she was a woman nearing 30 and unmarried (though highly skilled in weaving and bread making), but she was acting so strangely and hanging around other unmarried women…What would people say?It was when María had finally had enough of the talk and the threats that she begged her sire to turn her. She doesn’t regret a goddamn thing.María is one of the most clever, manipulative people you will ever meet. She is also one of the most easygoing and charming people you will ever meet. When she sets her sights on something or someone, she’ll stop at almost nothing to get it.She has zero qualms with eating humans. They’re tasty.

Appearance

María is 5'1 with olive skin and a va-va-VOOM figure. Her brown hair is kept long and maintained in a braid or bun (usually), but will occasionally wear it loose for a night on the town. It’s on the curlier side of wavy.Like some kind of edgy motherfucker, her eyes are bright vermillion: an aftereffect of drinking human blood. Looks pretty fucking cool though!!She has body hair on her arms and legs still, and doesn’t see why she should start shaving it, thank you very much. Beauty standards were so much simpler then, she thinks.Faceclaim is Stephanie Sigman.

Biography

A long long time ago, in another world (or universe, perhaps), Marie was born. She lived and died under questionable circumstances.When she died, she was reincarnated, and it kept on like this for a while: living different lives in different times and universes without any knowledge of the previous life. She has gone by many names (Margot, Emma, Yvette, Genevieve, etc.), but the one name, Marie-Jolie (from an old fairy tale), stuck.Soon enough, she lived through so many lives that she couldn’t die anymore, and she had morphed into something that wasn’t human. Not knowing what caused this (was it her fault or another’s?), she has no real power in stopping it.Marie has seen the end of the world about a few two-hundred times, and has lived so long that it has affected her mentality in the worst way. She isn’t any real harm to others, but an incredible danger to herself.It is an understatement to say that Marie chooses carefully what sides of herself to show others, even those she's supposedly closest to. Of course, sometimes, it’s out of her hands considering her sporadic manic episodes.Overall, it can be said that she does what she wants regardless of the consequences. She has the capacity to care, but those instances are few and far in between–She’d much prefer to disregard others. In spite of this, she adores people and beings with compassion and volatile emotions, and finds apathetic things boring and draining.Her ultimate goal is to reach an afterlife. Any afterlife.

Appearance

Standing at 162 centimeters, Marie Jollie is a cute little Parisian whom you can carry around in your pocket. Her hair is a deep, deep brown (most would swear it’s black) that’s always styled in an old-fashioned bob. Eyebrows are filled in, and always trimmed neatly, but they are not ridiculously thin by any means. Her eyes are an unsettling and very unnatural shade of baby pink.On her round, youthful face, she has a round, garlic nose and small, plump pink lips. She has a creamy, rosy, clear complexion (see below), and a chubby, petit body type. Pear shaped, actually. Hips are wide and kickin’, and her chest is modest and small.Her choice of clothing is often eccentric, expensive, and well-coordinated. Usually opts for skirts and dresses over pants or shorts. Despite her personality, she mostly dresses modestly. Always on her person is a golden antique pocket watch, the size of her palm.Playby is Ruth Negga.

Abilities

Magical/SupernaturalShapeshifting
A favourite of hers, though she can only really turn into insects and animals (always black, even if said insect or animal does not naturally show up with black fur/scales/etc. in the wild.)Soul Rest
When needing to be alone or recovering from an injury or illness, she can retreat into the pocket watch. The pocket watch actually holds her soul (or? Lack of one?), and if it is destroyed, she has no idea what would happen. Sadly, no matter how hard she tries, it's unbreakable.Dimension Travel
The ability to "universe hop" (or time travel, as she calls it) is a staple, though she does it sparingly because leaving around portals is messy. It also takes a tremendous amount of energy, and while she has stamina to spare, it's just not a good habit to form.Space Manipulation
To defend herself, she can open up a little hole in the fabric of time or whatever you want to call it, and hide herself (or another person) inside. Only one (or two) people can fit in this hole. It will appear as a pure black spot, devoid of all light, that she stretches out like a rubber band or pantyhose to fit inside. It can disappear without a trace and be opened up almost anywhere else in existence (or non-existence).Translation
A spell she picked up some time ago allows her to understand most all tongues (with some exceptions) and for others who cannot speak her language to understand her without suspect. This applies to most sign languages as well.Of course, she's lived long enough to remember most languages, so she doesn't always need it.Non-magical/supernaturalFine Arts
Marie is well trained in fencing/swordsmanship and dance (mostly tap, some ballet)...She used to play piano, but she hasn't for a long time.

Marie is the spirit of Paris, a patron god or saint of the city that's been with it since it was first known as Lutetia to the Gauls.Once a fabulous, eccentric socialite who attended frivolous parties and spent her time in hedonistic glory, she is now an eccentric recluse who enjoys spending her time around museums and hating the Eiffel Tower (it's so modern!)It is an understatement to say that Marie chooses carefully what sides of herself to show others, even those she’s is supposedly closest to. Of course, sometimes, it’s out of her hands considering her sporadic manic episodes.She tries hard to be the Perfect Parisian for everyone--It’s like a game to her, and she always wins. In reality, she’s an obscenely lonely woman and relishes any company that comes her way by clinging, hovering, and overstaying her welcome. She's also looking for inner peace and a friend to call her out on her ways. Friend being a loose term here, she’ll take anyone: a friend, a lover, an enemy.You can usually find her wandering around Paris feeding birds, chatting with tourists, teetering along the edges of tall structures, and committing minor demeanor.If you’re a Francophile, you should talk to her; she would love to destroy that rose bubble you live in.Gen. Fantasy
Marie was raised as a guardian for an "underworld" where time does not exist. Many people think of it as a hell or dark afterlife, but there's no religious implications involved. Just a lot of prophecies and superstitions. She's meant to protect the dimension. Despite this, she hates the place. It's dark and gloomy, and it makes Marie miserable. She escapes often to the surface world to explore and "gather information"...The other residents in the underworld do not approve, but they cannot control her.On the surface world, she travels around with two other companions--Two royals, as a matter of fact, both heirs to entirely different empires. Their friendship bond is strong but young, and any little bit could easily tarnish it.She fights in armor and wields a rapier. Light on her feet and excellent evasion. Dabbles a little in magic of the dark sort. This is the last time she dies before becoming immortal--Or rather, unkillable.Specifications:
For LoZ characters, Marie is a Hylian/Gerudo mixed kid (Gerudo father and Hylian mother).Godess Verse
She’s not a goddess so much as a titan or spirit living in the night sky, molding stars and souls from said stars. She creates people's souls from the same materials as stars are made from, and every single person who's been given breath has had their essence pass through her hands.People look to her for navigation, if they are lost (physically or emotionally), or need to make an important decision. She has a shimmering dress made of pure night and space.General fantasy verses may also take place here.Witchverse
Marie is an alumni of a fancy ass French school and happily married to a silly and cheerful human man, despite coming from a long line of elite witches (and being heir to said family). Though not as...extreme as other witch families, they certainly aren't going out of their way to defend non magical peeps and such. Her marriage/elopement was quite the scandal, and she simply does not give a single fuck.Both of her children are magical (a boy, Moses, and a girl, Clementine). Her husband did not find out about her being a witch until their children showed magical abilities.Most of her power comes in the form of stamina and hereditary skills. She's not the most powerful witch, but she's certainly the most determined.Harvest Moon
Marie is a young traveler who stumbles upon the town and decides to stick around for a while. She rents out a room in the upper level of a well-established farmhouse, and can be seen riding her bike in the mornings, gathering flowers, or having a good time at the local restaurant/pub. She completes little odd jobs here and there, and is generally considered to be a delightful nuisance.Her loved items are fresh bread, roses, perfume, and moonstone. This verse can also work with Stardew Valley.

Biography

Raised a happy child in a happy home, Misa might have had a chance in life if only her parents hadn’t been murdered in front of her.Misa is selectively stupid–It’s so much less painful to dumb yourself down to the cruel world around you. When she smiles, people smile back! When she cries, people frown at her and tell her to get over it. It seems so natural that she play dumb to forget all her problems…One thing she is though, is emotional, to the point of it impeding her goals and relationships. When Misa feels, she feels with her whole heart and body, and it is never just a passing feeling. It lingers. Festers. Grows into something else…Misa is dedicated to Kira: the one bright light of hope in this ugly world for her. He will make things better. He will make sure that there are no more monsters in the dark. He is her savior.She becomes the Second Kira quite easily, dedicated to the cause of eradicating all criminals, and any other agenda her savior has. Even if it involves blackening her hands and soul. It's all worth it. For the man who avenged her parents.Her lifespan is long, thanks to inheriting most of it from a passed-on Shinigami who was in love with her. Even if she split her life in half twice, she would outlive most people.

Appearance

Misa has straight blonde hair (dyed from brown) that’s always styled, even when it’s not tied up in her iconic half-up pigtails. Her bangs are a little messier than most other gothic lolitas so she can be more approachable. Less perfect, more relatable. It's great for her public image.Her small face is round/oval shaped and usually clear of acne and other blemishes. It’s rare to see her barefaced, as she usually dons visible makeup. Her large round eyes are naturally light brown, and if they look blue or green, she’s wearing color contacts (she likes to mix it up a little!!).Her shoulders are strong and broad (built up from self defense classes!!), and the rest of her body is a lean, skinny frame (gotta keep in shape for the job you know!!). She has a few curves and a small number of piercings, but no tattoos.

Abilities

Entertainer
Misa is a well known model, actress, and singer. She’s exceptional at most every performing art, and those she does not yet know, she can easily pick up. As such, she’s wholly comfortable in front of a crowd and is happily confident in her abilities.Death
As the owner of a DEATH NOTE, Misa can take away life with a stroke of a pen, provided she knows your name and its spelling, as well as your face.Shinigami Eyes
Using an alias? Too bad. In exchange for half of her lifespan (twice), Misa received the ability to not only see any person’s name floating above them, but also the ability to see the countdown of their life: aka, how much time they currently have left on earth.

Verses

Soul Eater
Misa is a weapon, specifically a falx sword, wielded by a demon only known as 'Kira'. If asked, she'll claim to love the demon whole-heartedly, as he murdered the man who killed her parents. Together, they kill those he deems unpure and unfit for his vision of the world.Witchverse
A skilled witch attending The Abe no Seimei magical school in Japan. She's wildly popular among the student body and eventually gains a level of international fame in both the magical and mortal world.

Biography

Nemesis is the seventh daughter of the high class, high bred, high blood magical house of Lovell. She can trace her spiritline back to the Bronze Age, and places high priority on blood purity though you might never have guessed it from her attitude towards mortals. Unusually tolerant for her time (and upbringing), Nemesis enjoys studying humans and playing harmless tricks on them. Her lack of prejudice also extends to wizards of non-European ancestry, as well as those of her own gender. Of course, she does well to keep her thoughts to herself, lest she be reprimanded (by whom, one must wonder?)Academic and pragmatic, this little witch is not afraid of failure or getting her hands dirty, and believes in facing the consequences of her actions. How refreshing! She’s not particularly powerful, but she is an incredibly gifted, talented, smart witch who knows how to network.
It’s also rumored that she’s a bit of a secret romantic and using her natural shapeshifting ability to conform to her crush’s taste in girls.Nemesis keeps her friends and enemies close, and once you prove your loyalty to her, you have hers in return for eternity.She's closest in age and in friendship with her older sister, Eris, and is most detached to her mother: who resents her for being born a 7th daughter instead of a firstborn son. While her father does not mind not having any male heirs, Nemesis' mother finds it a deep shame. It helps add to Nemesis' inferiority complex, alongside feeling like part of a set when it comes to her sisters (all of whom have the same black hair and green eyes).

Appearance

Nemesis is one of the most conventionally beautiful girls (if you use a European standard of beauty) you will ever meet.She has a peaches n cream complexion (see left photo) with a long button nose, a heart shaped face, medium-thick lips, and large amber eyes. Her chin is small and her forehead is wide. In childhood, her figure is slim, and in adulthood, it fills out with decent curves and little fat/muscle. She’s a waif. Delicate and soft.Her hair is naturally black and cut short, but she likes to keep it starkingly platinum blond and long for aesthetics. It’s to her upper back, and kept straight.Her eye color is naturally green. But she keeps it gold.Playbys are Mila Kunis, Lydia Graham, and Elle Fanning. Her older playby is Renée Zellweger.

Abilities

Shapeshifter
Unknown to many (or few, depending on how well you gossip or how close your social circles are), Nemesis can shapeshift and change her appearance to just about anything she wants for very little energy/magic. It’s a rare ability, and she’s fabulous at it: using it to make herself seem more special.Non-MagicalPolyglot
With an English father and a Spanish mother, Nemesis was raised with multiple languages surrounding her, and is skilled in Castillian, Basque, Spanish, Scottish, and Latin. She is adequate in French and Portuguese, and surprisingly passing in her Moroccan.Hostess
Nemesis enjoys and is fabulous at throwing parties. Formal gatherings, socials, balls, afternoon teas, she can do it all. It's the way she was raised to please others and be a perfect wife.

Verses

Grishaverse
Ravkan nobility. Though her family is old and well known, the money is very new, causing a few of the other noble families to turn their noses up at them. Nemesis herself, isn't Grisha, though a part of her desperately wishes she was (if only to stand out from her six sisters). During the war, she's used for espionage thanks to her natural knack for disguise.Bridgerton
Youngest of seven sisters, Little Lovell is eager to stand out during her first season--And, in fact, during her whole life. Everything from how she looks to how she dresses to how she acts is all showmanship. All so she can show the world that she isn't a part of a set. All so she can escape the clutches of her mother.Unfortunately, she is naïve, romantic, and green. Not to mention her mama seems to already have a match in mind for her.

Biography

Nina was born to be a soldier, or so many will tell you (including her). Upon showing her powers as a heartrender, she was whisked away from her orphanage to the Little Palace to train and absorb nationalist propaganda. She excelled at it. Was put in the field too early for it. Paid for it.Too big a heart Nina saved someone she shouldn't have out of the goodness of her soul, and unfortunately, sometimes saving someone looks an awful lot like accusing him of being a slaver and landing him in jail. It was either that or a painful interrogation and execution! She had no time to explain.Now, out of guilt, she stays in the city where that boy lies imprisoned. Waiting for her chance to liberate him and set things right.She's a highly affectionate person, open with her feelings and sensuality, and unashamed of her wants (want of food, want of rest, want of justice). She is also a fabulous liar and manipulator, so if you need a spy or infiltrator quickly, she's your gal.You can find her at her room in The White Rose, an upper class brothel, offering her heartrender services for easing anxiety, pains, moods, and minor tailoring.

Appearance

Nina is a very healthy six-foot-two woman with enough curves to pave through a mountain. Her love of indulging in food has resulted in a cushy, plump figure that attracts eyes and admirers from all genders, all walks of life. It's not just her assets, it's her confidence, shown through her straight back and upturned chin. Everything about her body language screams 'I am hot and you know it'.Her hair is a lovely dark auburn color that looks brown outside of direct light, but shines bright red in the sun/strong lighting. It curls wildly when humid and unbrushed, and sits smoothly in waves when dry and brushed through. Her eyes are a bright, almost minty green that reminds others of spring.Playby is Oleksandra Zaritska. Danielle Galligan icons will be used because she does a great job.

Abilities

Grisha
Nina is a Grisha. Specifically a Heartrender: she can use her power to damage and manipulate a person's internal organs should she feel like it. Anything from slowing down the pulse to squeezing out the air from someone's lungs, she can do it. And do it well. She uses this ability to conduct physical therapies at The House of the White Rose.She also has a minor skill in tailoring. That is: altering a person's physical appearance.The target must be her line of sight for her powers to work.Polyglot
As a spy, Nina has had to infiltrate many countries, many settings. Even without this factor, languages come easy to her, and she's wonderful at it. Interpreter, translator, tour guide, she can truly do it all.

Biography

Rosalie's before life involved being shallow and beautiful. Nothing but a decorative piece of furniture in the lives of others.Her life as a vampire, she would claim, is much the same.The trudging through high school bit is tiresome, but forging alumna for college is worse. At least in high school, she can pretend to be somewhat normal. Can plan to stay in a town for as long as possible. Be human for as long as possible. Not that she really lives like teenagers should.It's little secret that Rosalie is a bit miserable, wishing for a life that's long gone by, and living amongst angsty teenagers who don't know how good they have it. She is currently planning to become a teacher, so that she may be nurture children in place of her own (Lord knows there isn't any shortage of bad teachers in this world, let her be something different). She's leaning towards elementary, if not a science teacher.She currently lives with her adopted family, the Cullens, in a cozy coven in the Pacific Northwest. Her diet consist of only animals.

Appearance

Most of Rosalie's ego is due to her beauty, and for good reason: even before being turned into a vampire, she was likened to angels. Golden hair, cream-white skin, bright blue eyes like violets...Once her skin turned ivory and her eyes turned red (and later gold), her conventional attractiveness only expanded.She usually wears her hair down in soft curls, enjoying the feel of it in the wind and brushing against her hips. Eyes are large and topaz colored, thanks to her diet of animal blood, and rest under long and full lashes (this queen needs no falsies). While she claims not to need it, she enjoys applying makeup in the decade's appropriate corresponding trend (leaving lip gloss prints on her spouse's neck is peak).It's easy to compare her bodytype to that of a dancer: it's lithe, well fed, and strong. But one would be remiss to not mention her 5'9 model stature. She towers over most boys at the high school, and will be quick to call out anyone claiming to be taller than they really are.Her outfits are often designer, if not expensive, and tailored to fit. She will usually go with the styles of the time that are appropriate for a young woman of 19.Her playby is Lea Seydoux

Abilities

Engineering
Rosalie regularly fixes up her luxury cars, and is very taken with mechanics and nuts and bolts. If you leave her alone with a toolbox and a clunker, you'll come back hours later to a smooth running machine with AC, a top of the line stereo, and leather seats. She's toying with the idea of learning about airplanes next.Thirst Control
Rosalie is spectacular at controling her blood thirst, and she uses this to attend both medical school (to keep Carlsile updated on advances in medicine), and for her eventual Student-Teaching around small children: who get cuts and scrapes like she gets admirers. Her record is perfect, with no accidental or on purpose human feedings.

Verses

Grishaverse
Taken from her home and to the Little Palace in the midst of a dangerous engagement, thank the Saints. Rosalie was taken in by the Darkling's army and has never looked back once, though she regrets knowing that if she bears children, they will not belong to her, but rather to the King.She is an arrogant but talented Inferni.Bridgerton
The posterchild for whatever the hell a Diamond is supposed to be: elegant, mannered, educated, and doll-like. How infuriating.Rosalie has yet to really question her position in life or whether or not she wishes to fulfill the role society has thrust upon her. What she does know is that she's one hell of a catch, and if someone were to ever mock or challenge that, her ego wouldn't let her let that go. Ever.Vocally, she berates Whistledown and those who read her, but in secret begrudgingly admits that the woman can write well... Perhaps she is envious of her independence.

Salazar ap Osian

In the Garden of Eden, Eve showed more courage than Adam… when the serpent offered the forbidden fruit, she knew that there was something better than paradise.—Cesare Borgia, Borgia: The Serpent Rises

★Being in love with his WIFE

Biography

Born to a Welsh father and Basque mother, both of witch and noble blood spanning centuries before his birth, Salazar was treated and raised as a prim and prissy heir from the moment he exited the birth canal.He's a dramatic son of a bitch who enjoys the flair and presentation of court life, mainly because he is oh so good at playing people like a fiddle (he thanks his mum for that). This comes from his almost obsessive need to watch and observe others for weaknesses and exploits. A paranoid bastard he is, but damn if he's never been taken by surprise in his life. Well, almost never.He marries young, soon after the sudden death of his father, thanks to his mother acting quickly. His wife, Shirazad, is a childhood friend, and one he tolerates well, only growing to love with time.While he may appear to be very cold and aloof to outsiders, to family and friends he is extremely protective and almost possessive. He is a doting father to his children, though often butting heads with his eldest son, who is just like him.

Appearance

Slim and spoiled. He's never had to work a hard, laborious day in his life and it shows. His face, while masculine, is soft and elegant. Narrow and diamond shaped, with thick eyebrows, a straight, downturned nose, and bow-shaped lips.Though he's not the tallest, his 5'8 height doesn't lessen his intimidation factor one bit. Those black eyes are endless, and they will eat you. They match his well-kept black hair, cropped short in his youth, but grown longer as he ages. His body type is that of someone who is healthy, active, but not athletic. Skinny.In other words, he's kind of a twink.His playbys are Taner Ölmez and Aneurin Barnard (as young/mid adult Sal). His animated/drawn icons are all by the artist Phobs.

Abilities

Dueling
It's well known in most every major dueling circle that Salazar is not someone to be trifled with. He learned from a very young age the techniques of various countries (all part of his noble ancestry), and has finessed his own fighting style of which is unmatched.It is highly elegant (and on occasion flamboyant), often being described as dance-like. Quick and sharp.Beast Tamer
He knows the true name of various animals, meaning he can speak to them and control them. He inherited this skill from his mother, Arrosa de Castilla, who in turn, inherited it from her Turkish father. While there are many ways to learn the true name of animals throughout the world, the origin of Salazar's comes from the god Tengri.He prefers to speak to birds of prey, snakes, horses, and dragons. He is very good at it.Salazar also reads multiple variations of Aspscript (reptile speak, dragon speak, etc.) and has helped develop various words, phrases, and dialects with his wife, Shirazad.

Verses

ASOIAF
A Dornish mother and a Northern father, Salazar is born the same year as Aegon's arrival in Westeros. Though he's only remembered one ruler in his life, he knows and believes that no Valyrian should rule over him. As a teenager, he's had arguments with his father about not self-exiling with The Company of the Rose.Through his mother's grandfather, he inherited the ability to speak to serpents (and by extension, dragons), which soons dies out in his line when magic begins to disappear from the world. It's through this ability that he earns himself a high-ranking place in Aegon's court.

Shirazad Osian

Biography

Shirazad was born the youngest in a large family, and was therefore highly spoiled for the majority of her life. She wanted for nothing and spent her days pursuing studies of culture and art. As the youngest, she didn’t need to worry about being head of house one day or marrying without love. It was a good life.Her main motivators in life are her family and the preservation of her family name. Everything she does is in the name of bringing pride to her kin and legacy. She’s known among her friends as a determined witch who speaks softly while carrying a big stick. The power of her family in the Middle East is nothing to sneeze at, and she knows it. Her name carries weight, and she knows her accomplishments only help add to its mass.Her marriage to Salazar was arranged by his mother soon after the death of his father. It happened rather quickly so as to make sure he would be able to take the reigns of his father’s house successfully and with little trouble. Shirazad, having known Salazar since childhood and lost contact with him in their young adult years, was excited at first: having a girlhood crush on the man for years.Though she has no need for working, she enjoys translating/interpreting, as well as tutoring in history and folk magic. While she's a very strict teacher with high standards, most of her students are calmed by her matronly aura, which only intensifies after the birth of her first child.

Appearance

Golden olive skin on a sharp, diamond shaped face that only softens for loved ones. Her hair, usually straight, falls to past her buttocks and is usually braided or done up in ornate designs. Her hairpin collection is one to envy, as is her collection of makeup.Slender with a regal posture, it’s easy to be intimidated by her, despite her height. She carries herself like a queen, and she will not settle for being treated any less than one. If her posture and aura won’t get you, her dark eyes will: a deep, black to rival inkstone, set under two strong eyebrows.Her playby is Golshifteh Farahani (young). Drawn playby is art by Phobs.

Abilities

Fine Arts
Born the youngest in a large family, Shirazad was lucky enough to not be given any real responsibilities in comparison to her elder siblings. Thus, she spent her time learning painting, dance, music, and dueling. While this is acceptable in European circles, it’s a little unusual where she grew up, and thus causes many a wizard to underestimate her ability to intimidate or manipulate.Polyglot
Shirazad was raised in a multicultural household, learning tongues from all over Asia and parts of Europe, both magical and mortal. She’s a well sought-out translator for important meetings and pieces of literature, and is well-known for her collection of ancient tomes.

Biography

Though a variety of stories and rumors exist surrounding Sumie, including ones she made up for fun and contradiction, only two are true. One: in the God world, when Izanagi and Izanami joined together and Izanami spoke first, she was born. And she was unwanted. Disabled. A woman. They sent her away to sea on a raft made of reeds to die. Two: in the human world, she popped out of the snows of Hokkaido like a daisy, and was raised among the Ainu before being found and stolen taken in by Yamatai.Thus: she is not Waijin. Not truly. But she will never admit this. Not to anyone. Assimilation and destruction of her former self were necessary for her to survive. Nowadays, many Japanese with Ainu and other minority ancestry do not acknowledge it, and it is these people that Sumie was born from. Was made for. A constant denial of self.In line with this, Sumie is constantly aware of how she presents herself to others. Never a hair out of place, nor a wrinkle in her clothes, always a gentle smile on her face like she’s welcoming her (non-existent) husband home. She’s established herself in her community as a bright young woman, and is always helping at coming-of-age ceremonies, schools, charities, hospitals… And of course, she herself needs help from no one.Towards strangers and foreigners, she’s subtly condescending. The woman has a superiority complex, and unfortunately has the intelligence and ambition to back it up. Not that you’ll see her throwing her skill around, of course, she’s a proper lady. If she’s teasing you, you won’t notice. If she hates you…well, let’s hope it won’t come to that.Sumie is a modern woman, and while she loves calligraphy, tea ceremonies, wabi-sabi, furisodes and all, she believes in moving forward and striving towards a more equal community–On her own terms, and not the terms that Westerners press onto her and her people. Gaijin, do not interact.Despite her youthful personality, Sumie is incredibly polite and keeps her emotions to herself, as Japanese society frowns on people who do not have a grasp on controlling strong emotions. She’s subtle in most everything she does to anybody except for her brother—he knows her too well. Whether it be manipulation, seduction, or innocent persuasion, Sumie is the epitome of discreetness.

Appearance

Such a tiny little thing! Sumie triumphantly reaches 160cm and looks just darling. She has long and straight dark brown hair, usually let down or done half-up, which goes to the bottom of her shoulder bones. Her eyes are large and brown as well, though she claims ‘dark honey’. Short eyelashes. Nose is tiny and wide, like a lil’ chestnut. Face is round, small and wide—ideal for beauty in her opinion. Her browbone is raised a little higher than normal, remnants of Jōmon influence.Slender and petite, tube-shaped body; ideal for wearing kimonos and such. Minimal curves. Skin is pale, though not as pale as she would like.Playbys are Mamiko Noto and Setsuko Hara. Drawn/Animated playby is Tomie.

Verses

Goddess Verse
Sumie's job as a Kamuy is to keep the balance between the God world and the human world (and all other places). Making sure that everyone is behaving and staying in their place. She resides in a special in-between place that's hard to access by mortal and god alike, where she watches over timelines, life threads, records, and the rest.Her symbols are circles (particularly three circles overlapping each other), cranes, snakes, and plum blossoms.Grishaverse
Sumie’s past, shrouded in immense mystery, is something she likes to keep private. Those who know of her think of her as a simple little woman who does nothing but smile diplomatically and bend to the wishes of her superiors. In reality, she is a cunning, calculating advisor for the Shu crown. Most likely not a Grisha, tho if she were, she’d be an exceptionally skilled Tidemaker.Humanverse
Her adult job is the same, though she's well known for her street fashion blog she had as a teenager/young adult, which caught her national and international attention when the editor of a popular fashion magazine insulted it as amateur and nothing special. She found this amusing.The publication she's in charge of isn't fashion centered, but more about serious news and lifestyle within a changing and evolving Japan. Her office is located in Ikebukuro.Her parents live quietly in Hokkaido while her apartment resides in Wakoshii.Naruto
Raised in Water country, Sumie's family is well known for their diplomatic and political endeavors, as well as their militant (and often empirical) approach to it: they have certainly killed off many undesirables who stood in their way of expanding. That's water country, baby!Sumie herself, is a perfect marriage candidate: polite, literate, and able to take charge of a household. She can recite her family history by heart, and recite poetry on command. She's given many people hope that the ways of her family can change for the better. For peace.However, unbeknownst to outsiders, she is well-versed in poisons, kodoku, and espionage. Who would ever suspect such an elegant, well behaved young lady?It's rumored that her mother wants her engaged to the Daimyo's first son, though Sumie will chuckle at such a prospect if questioned about it. She has her eyes on bigger game.Also unbeknownst to many, if anyone outside her parents, Sumie was adopted at a young age due to her unusually high chakra reserves. Rather than leaving her to starve or killing her off, she was taken in by the family that destroyed her home.Pokémon
A regional champion in her youth (Kanto and Johto), Sumie currently lives isolated on a remote island in the north where the winters are harsh, and the people are simple. A fine, country life for her. She'll battle any trainer clever enough to find her, she's somewhat of an urban legend among the city folk/tourists.Her team chases/shifts depending on a variety of factors, but in general she's fond of poison, bug, and water types:

Her starter Pokémon was Bulbasaur. His name is Ken.Supers Verse
Sumie is a villain by association/her adoptive father. She, herself, doesn't identify with either Hero nor Villain, she's just on her own side.Blessed with the powers of emotional manipulation (aka, an Empath), Sumie can influence emotions/feelings and is able to accurately read/feel what other people are feeling. There’s no on/off switch, really, and she can feel the atmosphere/feeling of a room when she walks in. The same applies to crowds, but only as big as about a high school football field. It’s most powerful when focusing on an individual person, of course, and this makes her especially useful for espionage.She is of above average intelligence and is not skilled in combat. Has average strength for a woman of her age and size.

Biography

Talia did not have a good upbringing, but she did find love at a young age.Well, maybe not love, but it was warm. Soft. Special. She would meet with this boy in secret, planning. Scheming. Looking forward to the day they would one day run away together and be free of their chains... What a shame that day never came.She affiliates herself with all manner of ugly creatures that people do not like. Spiders and rodents and snakes and lizards, and they do her bidding. They protect her, and her son. The one that survived.Her magical abilities are average for her age bracket, but obnoxiously small and weak compared to where she WOULD be if her family hadn't isolated her and discouraged her from learning.She is a...mother. Bad or good? No. Simply herself.She kept Antony from applying to the local school for mages as long as she could, and for good reason! Why can't anyone else see the toxic miasma emanating from that awful awful place... The place that took so many of her friends. The place that took her mother.She's a fairly selfish person (what's best for me and mine and to hell to everybody else), choosing to not seek justice for the many, and instead picking survival of herself and her son. Is that so bad? Maybe.You can find her at her apothecary: a small business she runs out of her shack of an apartment. You can ask for many a thing: cures for illness, ointments to soothe all manner of pain, potions to grant every desire... Just be wary of the price.She has a baby dragon that sleeps around her neck. Its name is Icarus.

Appearance

Talia isn't completely unfortunate looking, but she is rather pathetic looking: her skin is so delicate and pale that it's nearly translucent in many areas with a lot of blood vessels near the surface (you can see her veins, even when she's dehydrated). Despite this, she never seems to have a healthy glow of color about her unless she is sick or deeply angry.Her body is, unusually, devoid of hair except for her eyebrows and locks (which are blonde, dull, and thin). This causes her to be especially prone to infection and filth building up. Body type is extremely thin and frail thanks to terrible health and bad living conditions. Her nails are bitten and her teeth are yellowing. She looks half-dead.Her sunken, heavy lidded eyes are a watery, pale blue. Eyelashes are thin and sparse thanks to an accident when she was young where fire burned off most of her brows and lashes. She still has some scars on her scalp.The woman is MALNOURISHED, please feed her some soup.Actress Carol Kane is too beautiful to be Talia, but she fits the sickly, starving Victorian maiden trope well.

Abilities

Magic
Talia is, of course, a witch, and though her powers are suppressed and untuned, there's something dangerously wild about her. She doesn't know restraint nor mercy, and thus her magic will always be all-out. Never subtle, never pulled back. She was never tamed, and never will be.True Name
Talia knows the true names of many creatures. This means she can speak to them and control them, willing them to her cause. There are many ways to learn the true names of animals, but the origin of hers comes from the god Tengri.Talia prefers to speak to ugly creatures. Scaley things that are rejected by others. It is her first language, even before English, and she often does not realize that she slips into it in mid-conversation. It's used to spy on those she wishes to see more of and (as a child) to keep company and make friends with the local population of reptiles, and of course to chat with her familiar: Icarus.She cannot read or write any of these tongues.

Biography

Ursala was raised in an odd, contradictory household that (over all else) stressed that family came first. That she does not bow. That blood comes before all else.Pair this with her natural penchant for rebellion and strong sense of justice, it’s easy to see how Ursala becomes a poster kid for family reform and reparations. Proudly. She's going to change and reform every damn problem with this traumatic ass family, so help her God.She's a little intense for people first meeting her, having little concept of personal space or privilege, and as such, assumes that most people are eager to cater to her whims. She's also just more than happy to boss others around (it's a trait).Depending on a variety of factors, Ursala will either be raised by her grandmother, her aunt (@melodramatis) or her own parent.

Appearance

Short and chubby, Ursala does not fit into the usual stereotype of a witch. She has freckles on her body and a healthy glow on her skin thanks to playing in the sun. Her brown hair is on the straighter side of wavy, and matches well with her brown eyes.Her round face is very friendly, which is offputting to people who realize how much she bites.She most resembles her mother, Rachel, except in her chest: Ursala claims she has "the Black family tits".Her personal style is leaned in more towards street fashion (which drives her Bobe up the fucking wall), particularly acid washed jeans, kicks, and comfy tees. When she does wear robes and related wizard fashion, it's usually a modern cut with comfort over style.Her playby is Emily Bador

Verses

Supers Verse
Ursala can manipulate and influence the bonds between people, turning complete strangers into best friends who would kill for each other in only a few hours. This power helps her understand human nature and emotions, and would lend really well to a future in therapy and counseling. If she were into that.In X-Men verses, she mostly hangs with her honorary Uncle Erik (@legman-lensherr), causing trouble and learning about her powers.

Biography

It was on an ordinary day in which a happy, bratty, loyal 8th grader named Tsukino Usagi discovered she was meant to do greater things. She hasn’t looked back since.Usagi is annoyingly selfless to a fault–Always putting the lives of others over hers and sacrificing herself for the greater good: something that has fortunately worked out in her favor thus far. Don’t try to tell her that she can’t save everyone because she has to try. Her relentless optimism and hope dictate it.If Usagi marks you as a friend, she’ll fight to the death for you. Me and mine.Though she has bouts of maturity and thoughtfulness, she is still a very young girl, and often acts on impulse. She overeats, throws tantrums, whines, and lets her emotions get the better of her. Despite this, she’s trying. She really is.One day, she'll be Neo Queen Serenity of Crystal Tokyo: one thousand years into the future. But for now, she's just an ordinary middle schooler trying not to fail math.

Appearance

Shortest in her class, Usagi is a chubby bunny with long limbs and golden hair that could make any princess jealous. She has a small face, a garlic nose, and large eyes that could never (even if she wanted) hide what she was feeling.Don’t tease her about her weight, she’s sensitive u___uHer skin is well colored thanks to lots of physical activity and time in the sun. It's also mostly clear of acne and zits, but that's because her mom makes her drink water and she uses creams for it every night.No playby yet. Her drawn/animated playby is herself, obviously.

Biography

It is on a cold, foggy Halloween morning that she is found wandering around London by a collection of nuns heading towards the morning market. It is with great frustration that no one, not even the abbess, can get her to speak. Foundlings are common, and uncared for. Especially ones with this little girl’s dark skin.It takes weeks for her to utter a single sentence. My name is Ximena. The nuns give her the foundling name Ximena Lane. It is not a name she claims or enjoys.Raised amongst sympathetic, but often uncaring sisters, Ximena grows into a quiet, private girl with secrets in her pocket and watchful eyes. She is often in her own little world, separated from those around her physically and emotionally. She is perhaps a little rough around the edges, but she’s a polite child, and a hard learner. It is under the tutelage of one sister in particular, that she learns she’s a witch. A rather clever witch.Rising into womanhood, Ximena becomes sharper, blunt, flirtatious, and even more reserved. Laughter and affection is given only to loved ones and children. Indifference is offered to everyone else. Ximena is definitely not the most powerful witch, but she’s a very intelligent one. It’s difficult to judge her fighting skills when she does all she can to avoid confrontation, but she can kill. Just like anyone else.Her goal, of course, is to discover who she is. Why she is.Eventually, on her journey, she will find her way to México, where she will hopefully, possibly meet the loving family she forgot about and come into her fate.The easiest thing to notice about Ximena is that she’s quiet. She blends into the background like a brushmark in a painting. Repels attention like oil does water. She will only catch someone’s eye if they are looking for her or if there’s something about her that personally seizes them. Her voice and personality are naturally calming, as is her magic. No matter what age she’s at, Ximena will be polite enough and keep to herself. Viciously private. As a child, she’s meek and shy. As she grows older, she’s composed and reserved. Elegant like a lioness. She’s do-not-speak-unless-spoken-to. She owns herself.It is extremely difficult to get Ximena angry enough for her to show it, much less vocalize it. It’s even harder to get her to show sadness or affection. Happiness is a stranger to her face.A lover of knowledge, it’s easiest to get on her good side if you like reading or learning things outside the norm.If you earn her trust, you earn eternal loyalty.

Appearance

At any age, Ximena is an obnoxiously tall girl, often towering over boys the same age as her, or even older. She reached a max height of 6'4 a little after sixteen, and has stayed overlooking most people since. She is also very thin, partly thanks to the shit diet given to her at the abbey (malnutrition=piety I guess, lmao), and partly because that’s just how her body is. Lil string bean baby. Imagine how much taller she could be if she wasn’t malnourished? Thanks to this, she's known as a bit of a beanstalk in her youth.As she gets older and begins to be fed better and work out more (traveling and doing hard physical labor does that to you), she builds up a nice layer of muscle and some fat. She fills out her figure with muscles and subtle curves. Almost boyish. Despite her athletic build, her ochre skin is quite soft. When she grows older, around 17-18, she begins to ink sigils, runes, and spells into her skin. These tattoos range from pictographs, to symbols from dead languages. They will blend in with her growing collection of scars (scar and tattoo chart pending).It was a bit of a point of bitterness that she didn’t develop noticeable curves, but in the end it was best, because she already attracts enough attention with her height, she doesn’t need big biddies or a booty to help with that.Her skin is clear and lightly freckled along her nose: seeing as she rarely spends time outside, it's likely to be genetic or some sort of strange magic. Her skintone is a deep sepia brown, and is very soft:The best bodycanon I can find is Olympic High-jumper Erin Aldrich.Her mop of curls is well known in her town: they have a bit of a mind of their own, and she never did quite learn how to style it. Her dark russet hair is thick and hangs just under her ears, above her shoulder. It has never been longer than this, and never will.As for her eyes, they are plain black. No specks of gold, no 'warm brown’ in the sun, no flashes of green or blue. Just black. They are large and rest underneath medium thick eyebrows. Often, one can find bags underneath them due to lack of sleep. They are considered her best feature by many, as it is the only thing on her face that doesn’t scream “indigenous”. A shame, as her large, straight and jutting nose is quite charming, as are her sharp cheekbones and strong jaw. Her lips are a little more on the thin side, though perhaps that is due to them being chapped all the time.Fashion tastes involve black and vibrant colors. There is no in-between. Every piece is modest and elegant, hardly showing more than her collarbone and elbows (and ankles, when she’s feeling frisky.) Often she will dress in an androgenous fashion, preferring pants and flowing cloth to anything that the current era considers femenine. She is always clean and put together, and has a natural clean scent of fresh laundry, citrus, and mint.Playby is María Mercedes Coroy and Luz Pavón.

Abilities

MagicalAbsorption of water
Ximena’s magical signature/nature is very water-like. Due to this and some outside circumstances (re: family curses, spirit lines, where/how she was born, and meeting La Llorona when she was a child), Ximena will not be harmed by water attacks, but rather gain strength and health from them.Water will not harm her.Sensing magic signatures
It’s something a lot of other magical beings can do, but it comes very easy to her. She can smell them much better than she can see or feel them, and it’s harder for her to see the person/creature’s magical core, as well as whether or not the person is naturally inclined towards white or black magic.Potion efficiently
Her career in potioneering started very young. She grew up around plants (the garden and greenhouse in the abbey were frequently her favorite spot to hide or study in), and from that stemmed a knack for choosing good ingredients and sensing the magical properties of plants.Ximena’s methods in potions are very non-witch (or lamb, mortal, human, etc.): she experiments and wants to know why magic and potions work. The theory behind it. In her studies and practices, she’s found success in deviating from the standard and doing her own thing. Girl’s smart.Runes & Sigils
The magic of seals, symbols, and the rest is not lost nor wasted on Ximena. She’s a natural polyglot, and speaks more languages than she has fingers (proficiency in those languages varies, but for reference: English is ranked 6th), which helps her to understand, decode, and create runes of great potential and power. Of course, thanks to her natural curiosity and random luck, this has lead to more than a few near death experiences. You’re not a cursebreaker, babe, you’re a baby.Friend to animals
As seen around the blog, there’s a connection Ximena feels with snakes! A big part of that is (again) her family history, spirit line, and curses. Another part is that I believe all Brujas just have a way with animals (my step mom? an enchantress around them).She has a special connection with Quetzalcoatl: the feathered serpent, associated with dying and resurrection.Ximena’s favorite, though, are corvids! You can always see a crow or two nearby when Ximena’s around, and she has them do her bidding in return for head scratches, food, and secrets. She cannot speak to them, and they cannot speak to her, but they have an understanding.Evading attack
Her evil eye bracelet protects her from most curses, the Evil Eye (obvs.), sickness, forgetting things (usually), and works as a basic shield against low to mid-level spells.Ximena, herself, was doused in protection spells, shell spells, and the rest when she was young–From baptism to cleansings, her guardians always made sure she would be ready for anything (ready to run.)As she grows older, she will tattoo more defensive spells onto her skin in the form of runes (see above) and pictographs.Her defensive casting is second to none. It helps that she doesn’t use a wand.Non-MagicalRetaining information
She might not be the best at remembering your name, but she’ll remember a helpful passage in a book she read when she was six because ‘it could come in handy someday’. What helps, of course, is her meticulous note taking, of which she is almost famous for (they don’t let her around library books anymore.)Gastronomy
Ximena is hella Mexican (orale wey), and that comes with an advanced love of food and cooking. Food that comes from her hands will always taste better, brighter, and richer. It will be comforting, familiar, and filling. She cooks like a mother, and feeds you like one too.Whistling
Ximena has ancestry from a people in Oaxaca who are known (among other things) for whistling as a form of communication (Chinantec). Her tongue is sharp and her lungs are strong. Occasionally, this ability transfers to magical (casting with whistles!), but mainly she uses it to send coded messages through birds and speaking to kids (she teaches the language to her younger cousins, charges, etc.)

Verses

Gen. Fantasy
Descendant from a long line of artisans/merchants (and rumored to have ancient royal blood), Ximena’s family is well known amongst the elite for providing excellent goods and wares… As well as spells and hexes under the table. She is rather estranged from them, however.Ximena herself, trains at a school for mercenaries (Balamb Garden, for you FF folks), learning how to become the perfect soldier. She’s top (or perhaps second top) of her class, and set to graduate nice and early. Her magic is mostly dark/black, with a small focus on red.In places where women aren’t normally warriors, she is often a target of ridicule and/or harassment. She ignores this. In places where there is a leader, such as a queen or emperor, she will be loyal to her school before them or any laws. And of course, before her school, she will be loyal to herself. She does not work well in groups/guilds/fellowships, but she tries her best.Grishaverse
Though a Darkling’s power most suits a person like Ximena, in Grishaverse, she is normally a Tidemaker. One in deep hiding. Risk of discovery could take her away from her life, whether it’s by the Kerch, Fjerdans, Shu, or Ravkans. And she likes her quiet little life, thank you very much.Is she skilled with her power? Sometimes, depending on whether she’s had training or whether she’s discovered her power as a child or as a young adult. Most often, Ximena makes money by making and selling tonics and poisons: she has a small little alleyshop in Kerch next to a back alley clinic and a small brothel.Modern Human AU
Ximena’s family are well established, long standing morticians. They own the cemetery plot alongside their house, and are known for cleansing, hosting colorful funerals and grand Día de Muertos feasts. Her ancestry is highly respected, and she feels as if she has a lot to live up to. Brujeria isn’t just magic after all. It’s a culture.You can catch her picking flowers, babysitting her younger cousins, taking solitary walks, and reading occult books.Pokémon
Uninterested in battles (though excellent at strategy), Ximena wanders around Kalos with her selected group of Pokémon doing personal research and generally minding her own business. She'll battle for fun, if you ask, but she solely relies on her own smarts and her Pokémon's defense over anything else.At first glance, it's easy to believe that she's a ghost or dark type trainer exclusively, but really, Ximena is fond of cuteness, so most of her team is composed of baby Pokémon and the occasional big boy.

Bridgerton
Really, the only reason Ximena is allowed to participate in the season is due to her father being a doctor. She isn't there to find a husband, but rather to make friends: she is rather lonely here in Britain.She's a bit controversial among the Ton due to her quirky nature and love of the occult. Some wish to keep their distance, and others find her to be a very amusing bauble to entertain themselves with. There are also rumors about her being a foundling and her upbringing under nuns, but she will never confirm or deny that.She's yet to really find anyone genuine enough to hang around willingly.One can find her wandering away from her chaperone, looking blankly into the distance, and reading questionable literature.

Biography

She is there alongside the Wixáritari, gathering peyote with the guidance of the sacred deer, and they tell stories of her. Sitting alongside Lady Xook and Moctezuma, her image is carved and painted for records. Sewing textiles for the Spanish, or picking tobacco, her figure stands with sweat on her brow, and the peninsulares gossip about the unnamed worker on their land.Raising arms behind Hidalgo, she is there. Protecting her people against the Americans, she is there. Lying in wait to expel the French, she is there. Each and every time, they are chanting her name. México. México. México. Mexico is there, riding her horse behind Zapata. Posing for a painting for Rivera. Singing on the Radio XEW. Standing in the square on a cold October morning in 1968. She is there, now, before you.As a Mexican, your chest grows when in her presence. It swells with something. Love. Passion. Pride. Courage. As a stranger, it fills with something else. Curiosity, perhaps. You are acutely aware of where you are. The beauty of the land, the heat of the crowded streets, the richness of the cuisine, the bloody history engrained in every painting, every grain of sand, every brick in every building…In time, perhaps, the curiosity will be replaced with something else…Nacida de furia y cariño, México es una mujer con carácter. Tremenda.Xóchitl means ‘flower’ in Nahuatl, the language of the Mexica. She was baptized as Adela, under Spain’s rule on February 24th, 1533. Inés is after Sor Juna Inés, a prominent figure in her history. Hidalgo is after a hero of the Revolution, and Guadalupe is after the blessed Virgin of Guadalupe: her patron saint. She carries her history in her name and alias, and you damn well better pronounce it correctly.When first presented to you, Xóchitl will act kind and courteous, unless she has any reason not to. She will come off as friendly, traditional, and very helpful. If one isn’t paying attention, she’ll come off as completely innocent and pure. If one comes from a latin country, she greets you with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.Xóchitl’s personality is a bit of an enigma–She holds the traditional and old fashioned values of a conservative and Catholic Mexico, but also has the ideals and innovative ideas of a modern and developed Mexico: a land that holds the cultures and lives of people from all aspects of life.She’s a fairly private person, appearing to be uptight and no-nonsense to strangers and outsiders. In truth, she has many sides to her, and is careful about what sides are revealed to every person around her. Those that know her best are her people, for it is only in front of them that she lets loose and allows her inner self to shine.

Appearance

México has people from all around the world, and it shows. Prominently, her features reflect her indigenous and black citizens, followed by east Asian and white.Her hair is a dark, deep warm red-brown—almost black colour, and is currently short and wavy (she got a haircut).It gets big in high humidity, and is usually tied up in a small ponytail. No widow’s peak. Her eyes are large, almond-shaped (Iberian), and close together. They are a deep dark black.Her complexion carries clear brown skin with warm red undertones and light, light freckles dabbled over her shoulders and nose from being outside so much.Her face is small and triangle-shaped, with a sharp chin, strong jaw, high cheekbones and a convex nose, thanks to her heritage and it being broken during the Mexican-American War. Eyebrows are thick, rounded, and neatly trimmed. Eyelashes are rather long. When relaxed, lips are always slightly parted, like she’s awaiting long anticipated news. Her lips aren’t thick, but they aren’t thin either, they’re a happy medium and look kickin’ with red lipstick.Bodywise, she fluctuates between being a curvy, muscular pear, to being a chubby pear, depending on the time of year. This is because towards the holidays in winter, there's so many yummy foods to feast on! How can she resist? During said holidays, she gets pretty fat, but after February she usually goes back (albeit slowly) towards her muscular frame. Legs are long and strong, despite being so short (thank her short torso), and has nice ankles. The long legs helps her in running, but makes it hell trying to find jeans that fit.Chest is small and fits into most B and some C cups, depending on the style of the bra. Body hair is shaved regularly on her legs, but left alone on her arms and back.All along the outside of her left leg are faded third degree burn scars from her time as a colony (around 1550), as well as whip lashes on her back (scar chart pending). There is a hidden incision on the crown on her head from brain surgery circa 1400s (Pre-Columbian), and a bullet wound on her right shoulder from the Mexican-American war. Bisecting her chest is a large, nasty, scar that looks like she was almost torn in half. This is from the Fall of Tenochititlán. On the left side of her neck is a thin, sleek scar that looks like someone tried to slit her throat. This is from the Massacre of Tlatelolco in 1968.On the top of her left foot is a colorful tattoo of a hummingbird in flight. On her back, slightly off center, is a large tattoo of La Virgen de Guadalupe: her patron saint. She got them in the 70s, after an impulsive, drunken thought, and keeps them well hidden.Playbys are Lila Downs and Jaramar.

Abilities

Spectre Sight
Xóchitl can see ghosts, spirits, spectres, the departed, etc. Has been able to since she was very young (she's had a very close relationship with death). Nowadays, she's unbothered by it (unless the person's death affected her personally or they died in a particularly violent manner. As such, she will most likely not approach first, and take care to ignore them.Gastronomy
Xóchitl's cooking abilities are legendary, from her barbecue pits in the north, to her tacos de chapulines in the south. She takes great pride in her abilities in the kitchen, and does NOT take kindly to anyone turning their nose up at her ingredients or techniques. Food is her love language, so if she cares for you, you'll be fed automatically on site.Singing
The rich, velvet tones of Xóchitl's voice lend themselves well to traditional folk songs, huapangos, rancheras, and mariachis. It's not a professionally trained voice, but it's hella good. Pleasing and matronly. Almost nostalgic.

Verses

Bruja
In which she is a very talented (and old) bruja. Goes by Inés, not wanting her full name to be available so easily (after all: others can control you if they know it).Though she's definitely crueler, and perhaps more self-centered, her continued devotion to her family remains strong. Despite the upsetting curse upon them all. Yikes.She lives in an inter-dimentional forest in a small cottage with her plants, dog, cat, and various little birds. She earns a living by creating elixers and spells and such for anyone willing to pay whatever she might need or want. Nowanddays, she works mostly with plants and protection spells, but she used to be all about blood magic and necromancy; Inés doesn't talk about it much.She's a bit of a bully, to be honest.Gen. Fantasy
Xóchitl lives in a bustling capital town of a thriving kingdom overseeing the health of the royals and all who live in the castle. Aside from her job as their personal doctor, she implements as well as advises on laws and decrees regarding health. She's a very no-nonsense woman often found either in her office/study or out in the field collecting samples of plants and fungi.Being well educated and hard working, she's gained quite a reputation in her field for being a top medic and scientist. There's some nonsense prejudices about her being a woman in some circles, but she pays no attention to it--Literally, she's not conscious of it at all. She only pays mind to what matters, and the opinions of others do not matter to her.Her past is quite shrouded in mystery, and she keeps her intentions and thoughts close to her heart. It's known that she's a witch, but only of medicinal and healing magic. It is also known that there are rumors saying otherwise…In this verse, she is at her most callous regarding human life. In other words, she is self-serving, self-preserving, and only looks out for herself.Legend of Zelda
Xóchitl is a Zora! When young, she works as a traveling merchant who always manages to get herself into strange locations, but always comes out of it unscratched.Goddess Verse
Xóchitl exists as a grand and glorious Goddess of Revolutions and Uprisings. She protects rebels, revolutionaries, and all those who are oppressed. Her pantheon/fellow gods are various and varied, each having unique interpretations and powers from one another.Xóchitl is the strongest, physically, and has little patience for frivolities such as relaxation, parties, and sex. The exception being, of course, that these happen in celebration of a victory. She keeps to herself on her volcano, awaiting a good war or regular sacrifices/offerings from the people living at the base of her home.It is said that when the volcano is smoking, it means she is stressed, when it erupts, she is furious, and when the flowers bloom, that she is content and elated.Her symbols are the hummingbird and gardenia.Harvest Moon
Xóchitl (going by Adela) moves to a quiet town by the ocean and begins to operate a ranch for reasons unknown. She is fairly young (perhaps 28 at the oldest), kind, and prefers to keep to herself. She'll start out her farm with animal products and such before moving on her goal: a tequila distillery.Adela is very interested in the lore and mythos of the town, and when not working, spends her time researching about the Harvest God and Goddess...Her loved items are perfectly made food items, gardenias, chiles (fresh and dry), gold jewelry, and beer. This verse can also work for Stardew Valley.Modern Human AU
During the day, she works as a cardiologist, and at a pretty prestigious hospital. Most of the money goes towards student loans and her parents. She's constantly overworked and overstressed, and does not have a social life at all.Occasionally, she teaches ballroom dance for some extra money on her off-nights, and is a strict but good teacher.Special notes: Basically her Supers Verse, but without the back alley clinic.Supers Verse
In a world where mutants and superheros exist, insurance comes at a hefty price.Luckily there's Inés, who fixes up supers of all ages in her back alley clinic--Not actually located in a back alley, just in her townhouse. She has no powers of her own (so she says), but earns a good extra living moonlighting as a doctor for those who can't afford health insurance. She has an excellent reputation, and keeps her workspace clean, despite some clutter.During the day, she works as a cardiologist, and at a pretty prestigious hospital. Most of the money goes towards student loans and her parents--And her three year old son, living three states away for his own safety.

Biography

If a gentle candle flame were ever given flesh, it would be Yami.Prim and no-nonsense, it is easy to get on Yami’s bad side, and even easier to get her to think you’re a waste of space. She’s particular about who she starts a conversation with, but if you manage to pique her interest, you’re in for an interesting ride.Most of Yami’s personality can be summed up in the word ‘cold’. She does not let herself get attached. Not out of fear of abandonment, or because she thinks little of the bonds of friendship, but because it usually has no use for her. She’s a woman on a mission. She’ll have time for friendship after her work is done.This being said, it’s not impossible to earn her favor and trust.Yami hails from a long-established matriarchy of magic-users. The title, while meaning little to her personally, is something she owns with grace and elegance. Her family specializes in curses and counter-curses of all shapes and sizes, from all parts of the world. Though she is still learning and often sitting in the shadow of her elder sister, Yama, she is filled with so much earthly knowledge, it could rival the Library of Alexandria.From birth, she’s been taught the knowledge of every God in her family’s pantheon so that they may all grace her with their protection: every God and spirit and creature from Morocco to Myanmar. While this mixed-heritage witch claims the cultures of many countries, the ones she is closest to personally are Punjabi, Coptic, and Egyptian. Her personal Gods are Lakshimi, Bast, and Kali.Yami’s magical center is grey-dark, and thus, she is particularly gifted at “black magic”. Her magical signature is a bright, sunset orange, and smells like cloves and sandalwood. Her preferred elements are earth and fire, and she’s phenomenal at controlling both. Make no mistake, Yami was bred for power and intellect, and thus has the potential to burn this world to ashes…Should she want to.

Verses

ASOIAF
Part of a family that unofficially rules over a good portion of the southeast part of the globe. An oligarchy, by any other word. Her family is well connected, well known and well feared: their political power is strong, and their magical abilities the stuff of legends.Yami is disdainful of Daenerys and her naïve view of the world. More than likely a formidable antagonist to her cause.Supers Verse
Yami holds control over Plasma: as in the state of matter. This includes (but is not limited to) the ability to create and manipulate: solar wind, lightning, electric sparks, fluorescent lights, neon lights, plasma televisions, some types of flame and stars.Her alias is Spectro, and she's not really hero or villain: more of a neutral loose canon. Does as she likes and if it ends up being the right thing, that's great, but if it's the wrong thing, then oh well!She's pretty absurdly powerful, and a very formidable opponent to go up against.
