Character profile... Any comments welcome!

[Nyx Raven]

Name: Nymphadora Wasiki

Nickname: Nym or Wind Carrier

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Hair: brown with gold highlights

Eye: golden sometimes they turn cinnamon/red.

Location: Travels

Occupation: drifter

Family: none

Distinguishing features: A tattoo on her right shoulder blade of a blue phoenix rather than a the standard red.

Pet peeves: people scratching things against chalkboards, preferably chalk. Hate when people put themselves down for no reason what so ever and she hates being called kid or little girl.


Abilities: she is a black witch or dark mage as her kind is called. She doesn’t know her parents so she’s not sure if she was born oddly, or it courses through her blood. Her strongest black magic is controlling wind and earth elements, meaning she can bend the element the way she wants. Because she is skilled in air and earth she is weak against other elements, but can still use them, but only a little. She can also use white magic or healing magic. She can heal herself and others, but not bring them back to life, this technique is difficult to learn and requires a sacrifice.

Wind: She can do anything she wants with wind since it was the same element that her teacher’s was. She can make her voice carry in the wind and has known how to do it since she was little. She allows her body to flow with the wind, since she is basically part of it. She cannot completely control the wind, but talks to it as if it’s a person and finds it the only ‘person’ that she can trust other than her teacher and Thais the orphan owner.

Wind Carrier: There is a legend in her ‘hometown’ where a girl died singing in the woods next to the small town after she found out that her love had died in battle. Her voice can now be heard throughout the town and you can hear and feel the sorrow in her voice.
In actuality it is Nymphadora singing late at night in the woods and making her voice carry into the wind so that the townsfolk can hear the sorrow in her voice, which she still doesn’t know why she it’s there, but it’s most likely from her locked up heart. Before she left her ‘hometown’ she told the townspeople that it was really er who was singing and they call her the Wind Carrier now.

Earth: She knows how to use earth because the orphanage owner knew a little about the earth element and taught her how to use it defensively. She now knows how to use the ability to create walls and catch her breath.

Weaknesses: Her weaknesses are Fire, Water, and Ice, though she can control them, she doesn’t know a whole lot about controlling them and has no interest in doing so, like other mages that she has met, who only want power rather than use their power for others.

Weaponry
Well even though she is a ‘witch’ as she has been called sometimes, she also knows how to use swords and hand to hand combat, which is what she usually uses when she doesn’t feel like using her magic. She doesn’t actually own long swords but daggers and she hides them in the back of her boots where she made hidden sheathes for them and puts them on the back of her calves. When it comes to hand to hand combat, which is what she usually uses when she is battling and not using her magic, she is highly skilled because her teacher would train her from dawn until midnight, usually to get her agility up and teach her that magic isn’t the only thing in life to use.

Clothing
She can usually be found in a black low chest spaghetti strap shirt that is cover by a dark blue denim jacket with copper button pockets on each breast. Her bottoms is a black pleated mini skirt with a red belt resting on her hips more for decoration than for usage, a pair of shorts are hidden underneath, thus making her own version of a skort. Her shoes are a pair of knee high black lace up boots that are broken in leather and a pair of black thigh high socks with a red stripe going around the top of the socks are seen coming out from underneath them.

Personality
She is smart and funny, but still a teenager who hasn’t grasped everything in life. She loves to read anything, which is how she got into alchemy. She is a cat person, she doesn’t know why exactly but she loves them and can’t leave one of them out on the street, so she finds a good home for them before leaving the town/city. She is calm and usually sarcastic to those who are serious and she makes people think that she’s just in life for the ride and doesn’t care what happens to her.

History

She grew up in an orphanage and was an outcast of the bunch. The orphanage owner saw this and spent time with the girl. When Nymphadora turned six she entered the orphanage owner’s library and started reading books that she thought were interesting. The owner (Thais) came in and saw the girl going through all the different books and writing down magic terms and on scrap paper, and whispering them under her breath. Thais saw that the girl was enjoying herself and let her be, even though she had no idea that the girl understood the science and was actually storing the information in her brain.
When Nymphadora turned ten she had read all the books that Thais had and started going to the library to read book after book of the magic. She became interested in the philosopher’s stone and study it out of interest instead of gaining the immortality that it possess’. She would take books out and hide herself in Thais’ study with the aging woman and talk for hours about the subject.
Three years later, when Nymphadora turned thirteen she had read every book in the library of interest and decided to go traveling from town to town and city to city and read all the books she could.
She arrived in an un named town three months after she had started traveling and met Zolana an expert on Wind magic. She made a deal with the older woman, saying that she would never use her magic to destroy. She lives that way and uses her power to protect and help other, when no other option is open.
She finished her training two years later when she was fifteen and went off traveling again promising to stop by from time to time and say hello and to show her improvements and tell stories. Before she left though, Zolana had her get the tattoo that signified who Nymphadora had studied under and completed her training, the phoenix.
She sometimes thinks back to when she was with Zolana and thinks of her as a mother figure and as a friend also. Zolana once brought up the subject as to why Nymphadora’s eyes changed from gold to the cinnamon red, the younger only smiled and told her teacher the truth; that she had no idea.
She went to central where she literally ran into Sally Monue. She quickly became friends with the young woman after fighting off some stalkers that wanted to kill her. Sally told her that she should join the military, but Nymphadora turned down her offer. Sally sees Nymphadora as a younger sister, or daughter, and keeps in touch with her. Whenever Nymphadora goes to central she always manages to find Sally and General Haveni in the office late at night planning something. So she always breaks them up, begin the happy teenager that she is. Countless times Quinn has wanted her to join the military and countless times Nymphadora has refused, to keep her promise and to bother Haveni. She did tell him though, that if they are ever in a bind and need help to call her up.

Now
She is still a spitfire seventeen-year-old who does things for other people, even if she doesn’t get paid for it. She goes to see Zolana just before she dies, and tells her everything that she’s seen since the last time they had seen each other and caught up.
After visiting she leaves with a bad taste in her mouth knowing that something was going to happen, something bad, but she doesn’t want to guess, since they’re usually correct. She gets to central where she receives a phone call saying that Zolana has died. She goes to see Sally and tells her what had happened and actually decided to live with Sally for a while. She no longer does, she travels now and is determined to make Zolana proud, and to live out her dreams of being anything without being stopped by anyone.

Her mode of transportation now a days is a black motorcycle, one that you have to lean forward on and is called a crotch rocket.



Comments are much appreciated!

[Kazumos Nao]

Oh goodness, I can barely see anything cause of the brightness
"Ahh, my eyes!!"
Ok ~*starts reading*~
It may take a minute do the fact that I'm squinting

[Kazumos Nao]

Ok I got a comment on the weaponry, seeing as thats the only thing I read..
Um..where excaty do you hide these daggers. You said the back of the boot. I'm assuming that it was a big boot since it can fit the whole dagger in it.
Am I correct?

[Nyx Raven]

Thanks...I need to redo that part now that I'm rereading it...hmm, now all I have to do is figure out how to word it correctly.

[theXDguy]

We! My first reply... Oh yeah cool character.

[CharacterPlanet]

very nicely developed...like the idea she is a "witch" as well but can handle herself well with a weapon such as a sword.

[matty-al]

Yeah I liked that too as most characters who r witches/mages of some description are completely useless with weapons lol nice character I stil need to do mine lol

[Ookami]

Very nice! I like the idea and I am interested in seeing what happens next with her. I will be role playing around too so maybe our paths can cross somehow. Anyone is welcomed to also come across my character in the future once it is done!
