Character Profiles:
Mene Name: clevernamepending
Character Name: Lilla
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sign: Pisces
Abilities: She’s clairvoyant, sort of. She sometimes has dreams of fuzzy things to come. She also reads tarot.
Appearance: Small, delicate, feminine, and vaguely Irish with long, straight black hair, pale skin, and big blue eyes. She has a slight build, slim hips and small, perky breasts. Since her build is so slight, when she wears things like slightly too big sweaters (which she loves) her figure disappears and makes her look younger. She usually dresses modestly, unless one of her friends decide to play dolly with her. Which she always lets them and is usually horribly uncomfortable the whole time.
Personality: She’s one of those sweet, delicate people who you almost instinctively turn to for favours and things of the like. And her almost inability to say no doesn’t help, either. She’s rather friendly, generally soft spoken, and very gentle. Despite all this, she does have a latent mischievous streak that comes out in odd and usually slightly sad ways, like she moves all the furniture in someone’s room in exactly one inch so they trip over it, but, luckily, she can laugh it off when one of her rare pranks are successful, and successfully avenged.
History: Lilla has a very unspectacular past. She’s the middle child of three children from a not particularly wealthy or poor family. Her older sister was the smart, successful one, her little brother the cute charming one, and she was always the helpful and creative one. Not that many people saw the creative. She was often sort of forgotten, as middle children often are, but, this has never been something she gives any real thought, and the only real impact it has on her is that she very readily steps into the background. She currently attends a boarding school away from home, a school based around the arts, and is living on her own in one of the school’s apartments. She had always also been known to have great intuition, which was her own abilities, and got into tarot when she started higschool, seeing another girl reading it.
Other: Lilla is very artistic, she loves to draw, paint, write, and has a very pretty singing voice, but is terrified of anything that involves performance.
Mene Name: clevernamepending
Character Name: Lark (Real first name unknown) Jenkins
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sign: Leo
Abilities: Fire attack based magic
Appearance: Lark is tall, lean, and dashing in a Disney prince charming sort of way. He has slightly too long blond hair, bright blue eyes, and a smile that has been known to cause shojo glitter. His clothes tend to be reminiscent of things found in anime, usually low necklines with a black cord necklace with some sort of bead-y thing, and pants that are a shade on the tight side.
Personality: Lark is loud, flamboyant, and a natural born leader (in his own mind, at least). He’s also a pretty shameless flirt, although he can and does have female friends. And while Lark tends to clash with some people, he’s actually a really nice, sweet guy. That said, he’s not afraid to offend people or get in fights. He’s very grounded in his beliefs and values.
History: Lark comes from a very religious family that really pushed him from a young age to be independent and excel in everything. As a result Lark skipped a grade and is currently going to college on a hockey scholarship. In his small town, he tended to rub a lot of people the wrong way, but was still generally well liked, but, he learnt early on that it was way too much work to try to worry about what everyone thought of you.
Other: He has a weakness for gentle, damsels in distress girls, and food.

Appearance:
Physical Form
Fairly sized young woman, fairly flat-chested, body lithe and trained well. Her face one of malicious content, piercing crystal blue eyes, smooth, thin eyebrows and untainted lips. Her skin is hued slightly more yellow than pale pink. As for her hair, it is blond, swept back and it contained a few black streaks. The lengths of hair that reached down her back, however is tied up neatly in a long braided ponytail. She stands at a fair height of 5'6. Her weight is not calculated yet.
Typical Clothing:
Link
Her clothes are unique in themselves. Beginning with the base of it, a dress with a turtle neck that hangs all way down her body, far past the knees and nearly touching the ground, at her sides the front of the dress is tied to the back in a criss-cross pattern of laces on both sides. This is fitted to her rather perfectly, especially about the neck.
To cover the top of the waistline and all the way down is a metal belt with a long, hanging open-fronted dress, fitting to her perfectly, but it did not buckle together at the front, in fact it is made not to, it is attached to her black jeans, which hung right down over the tops of her raised boots.
And on her arms, a leather belt each followed by a small space then another holding down the tops of her black gloves to her biceps, letting it stretch finely over visible muscle. Around the wrists is multiple ebony bangles, and on all fingers, bar the thumbs, she wore gold rings.
In her strangely pointed ears she has two earrings for each and across the hems of all her clothes is gold outlining and down her front and on the bottom of her dress is gold embroideries of a dragon and a long tree, pressed mostly to her left side.
Kimono
Probably the only other costume nearly anyone will find her in, her black kimono is made of satin. With metallic red embroidery, blood red hems and designs of dragons and flowers set around it in a gothic yet beautiful fashion, this is probably her favourite dress. A white and red kimono-obi is held about her waist and she usually hides a knife inside it. She only wears this kimono on special days. Also wears white tabi and black stringed geta to complete the outfit.
Underclothes
Usually consist of dark lingerie and black stockings. She also tends to wear cartoon death/skull themed underwear since she doesn’t want to ruin her best clothes come that time of the month.
Personality:
Simply put, the thorns of this black rose are fatal to the touch.
One would typically expect one influenced my death to be morbid and dark but this isn’t entirely correct, though she has these traits it is presented in a different manner, instead she uses dark themes and morbid antics in her jokes and in most metaphors of speech. She generally enjoys displaying a die hard attitude toward most things and is relentless in her efforts whenever she sets a goal for herself.
Even though she owns a string of Japanese restaurants, courtesy of her family business, she can’t resist a night with a good pizza and violent, gory video game or movie.
History:
Typical rebel rich girl, a family unable to produce any more heirs and not willing to adopt, a future fiancée with no interest in Ankou for whom she is or what she wants, the greed and tradition of pure families mixing only made the quickly independent Ankou sick to her stomach until one day, on her thirteenth birthday, the family restaurant they were celebrating at was raided for its vault and also to assassinate the entire Ashriel family. Fate had a sick sense of humour, the job was poorly done, and with a single spray of hot lead from a semi-automatic; her entire family was wiped out and she was left for death in spite of their beliefs. She recovered days later, waking in a protected room within a hospital. The entire Ashriel family now down to a sole survivor, it was big scoop for the news. Typical, even with her family dead; life would always be troublesome.
Once the press died down life returned to normal again, or so it seemed. For a period of time the young mistress disappeared, returning with a fierce new look, a boyish, powerful figure and a no nonsense attitude that sent shivers into the spines of all those whom had once thought that she could be taken advantage of. Something had changed on the day she nearly died. She knew something beyond herself was keeping her alive, a secret gift that she felt enter her within the day, and the whispers. Whispers soon become a clear voice; Thanatos had gifted her with these powers for a reason, saved her from death because she was the perfect host and embodiment for his powers. Now she continues to run a string of restaurants under the family name, but so much more free to do as she pleases than before and also with a new goal in mind, to hunt those gifted by Gaea for obscure reasons secretly taught to her by the angel of death, Thanatos.

Mene Name: L L A M A N O ! S E
Character Name: Casper//Paula Twain
Age: 17//17
Gender: Male//Female
Sign/God: Gemini
Abilities: Caz uses Air fighting-magicks, as in being able to summon strong bursts of wind, etc. Paula has basic healing-magicks, which she is trying to get better at. She also is studying to see if she can possibly get her own body one day.
Appearance: Casper, or Caz as he prefers to be called, has short, straight, and shiny platinum blonde hair—so pale that it is almost white. More often than not, it is slicked back away from his eyes, which are large and bright green. He prefers to dress casually, in band-Ts and jeans, with simple sneakers or something over his feet. At about five-foot, seven inches, Caz is far from holding an intimidating stature, especially when combined with his thin-ness and lack of muscle. His face is feminine in structure and features, and he is pale and burns easily if exposed to too much sun. His lower lip is pierced off to the left, his right eyebrow is pierced, and both ears are pierced from top to bottom, including an industrial on the left.
Paula, being housed in her brother’s body(Explained in History), has the same general appearance. When she takes over, however, she brushes her hair forward, allowing her bangs to fall in front of her eyes, which she covers in dark eye make-up. She dresses in mostly bold stripes, usually black and white, but occasionally brighter colors. Since she resides in the body of a boy, she lacks bust entirely, but doesn’t mind much and still wears tight, feminine shirts, dresses, skirts, etc., but rarely jeans for the fact of the bulge. Actually, she adores dressing in the ‘Gothic Lolita’ style, though she rarely does for lack of the appropriate attire associated with that fashion. And a place to hide it.
As it is, most of her clothes are hidden in a small dresser at the back of Caz’s closet, and she washes them herself to avoid the suspicions of their parents.
Personality: Caz is a conversationalist. He loves to talk, and an intellectual debate is almost as rewarding to him as going to a concert. His love of music is outstanding and takes precedence over everything but taking care of his sister and parents. Although he is caring and kind, upbeat, happy, and youthful, he also is slightly superficial. When dating, he is picky about his companion’s appearance and musical tastes. He can be sarcastic at times, and loves trying to pull things over others’ heads in an attempt to appear more intelligent than others.
Paula, on the other hand, is a bit more shy and nervous than her brother. But not much. She is known to ask a lot of questions, as well as be a little flaky about her plans. At times, she can be tense and scared of lots of things. Having a deathly terrible phobia of cars, she has been known to hyperventilate even when watching a car commercial. She loves to date and listen to music, having tastes very similar to her brother’s. Occasionally, she will quote The Breakfast Club, which she obsesses greatly over. Uniqueness and individuality are traits that Paula values in a potential significant other, as well as herself. Unfortunately, she and her brother are both bad at commitment, since neither like feeling as though they’re being tied down. Even though she’s well-adjusted to sharing a body with her brother—a definitely male body—she still is insecure about the fact that she may never be able to have sex or anything of that matter. Because of this, she studies possible ways of acquiring a body of her own through magickal means.
History: Caz and Paula were born as fraternal twins. Growing up, they were so similar and yet so different, as twins seem to often be, but they got along famously. They seemed to share that typical telepathic twin-link, and were extremely close, even through middle school, though they weren’t without their fights. Their freshman year of high school, Paula went to a party with some friends. She ended up being hit by a car driven by another partygoer who had been drinking heavily, and died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital—thus her ghastly phobia of automobiles.
Their parents never got over it.
It was that night that her soul seemed to be transported into Caz’s body. He told his therapist, who said that he had developed Multiple Personality Disorder from the trauma and put him on medications, which he refused, and still refuses, to take. Since he speaks to his sister, his depression is minimal at most. The two of them have even worked it out to where they can equally divide time spent controlling the body they share, although by default Caz gets the majority.
Other: Caz’s favorite color is green, and Paula’s is silver.
Mene Name: Flaming-Scorpion
Character Name: Charles Diana Rookwood
Age: 18
Gender: Male.
Sign/God: Scorpio. Minion of Ares.
Abilities: Despite his water based sign, he is very unfamiliar with the element. He is able to manipulate it, but not very well. His true strength lies within is fire wielding abilities, a gift from the god of war.
Appearance:
Body: Charlie’s build is one of an athlete. He is very muscular but his clothes often make him seem lanky and thin. He stands at a height of 5'6 with firm shoulders and big hands. His face is neither thin nor round while his eyes are thin, and piercing. The color of his eyes is an unnaturally bright amber surrounded by an orange ring. Above them are thin, brown eyebrows (the right pierced) which always seem to be set in a way that makes him appear as if he is constantly glowering or glaring and his hair is a golden brown. Beneath his clothing, there are scars that many people haven’t seen and probably never will. Long scars run down his hips, lower stomach and thighs. The pale valleys of the scars are easy to see against his sun-kissed flesh. However, he makes sure that they are never seen by anyone other than him. His hair-style can only be described as either very unique, or just a messy while his over-all appearance is but a scruffy, hardened look.
Clothing: Charlie never wears revealing clothing, so he is often found in long sleeved shirts and baggy pants. Around his neck he always wears a chain necklace that is sometimes accompanied by chokers or other long necklaces. Beneath the sleeves of his shirt he wears a black wrist band on one wrist and a watch on the other along with several other random bracelets. He wears fingerless black gloves and several rings on each hand. Charlie’s pants and shoes are similar. They are both ragged, worn, and big. He wears simple skater shoes and comfortable baggy pants that have a pull string just above his shoe (to keep himself from tripping). His style is comfortable, messy, and plain, just the way he likes it.
Personality: Charles is a person who is very hard to read. He conceals his emotions well but it is easy for him to snap at someone he doesn’t like. He is very prone to arguing and is very obstinate and unyielding. Charles doesn’t like working as a team and likes to keep to himself, but it is obvious that he does have a curiosity for other people and things. Charles is very smart, but often doesn’t voice his thoughts unless he see’s it necessary. He is not very trusting, and for many people, it is hard to sense what he is really feeling. He hides his sadness and stress well, while his inner frustration can burst through his stoic exterior. This Scorpio can be very vicious and violent, and is always willing to take on a fight while at the same time be given to kindness and courtesy. He may not give compliments, but he’s always willing to open a door or pull out a chair for a friend. Charles is very instinctive and is good at picking out the good from the bad, however, his actions aren’t entirely based on his emotions alone. Usually, he is one to stop and think before throwing the first punch. His emotions are constantly changing and easily influenced by simple acts (even if his countenance does not show it). Charles will not be a person who asks for help or willingly receive it. He works alone and hides his inner self from all others. If you are lucky, you will be able to crack the concrete mask that disguises his inner self.
History: Charles mother died during child birth and he was sent to an orphanage, seeing that his father seemed to not even exist. He did not have many friends, seeing that he was very soft spoken or when he wasn’t, he often got into fights with the other children. This, of course, gave him a very bad reputation. Even in the orphanage, the children kept their distance, and that was the way he liked it. Charles spent most of his time either studying or playing with some sort of sports ball. The child was able to skip two grades, 4th and 6th. He attended elementary school and middle school like any normal child. At the age of 13 he was a freshman in high school. By this time, he had a caring foster family and walked home everyday from school. On one of these days, he was attacked and raped. The man’s fingers left deep indents on the teen’s body that would remain for years. Thankfully, at this moment in his life, an entity known as Ares made a deal with him. Ares gifted him with the gift of fire. He burned the man alive out of fear and ran. To this day, police are still baffled by the man’s remains. Charlie never told them of how it happened, this was because he became mute for a year. He endured many different counselors, doctors, and medication. Eventually, he was taken out of high school and was tutored at home. Finally, he spoke again and was returned to high school, entering 11th grade. Charlie still did not speak much and always cut gym. It was not because he was bad at sports, but because he hated changing out in the dressing rooms. He never finished highschool and instead studied by himself. He left home at the age of 16 with a drivers license and worked part time at many low paying jobs. His foster parents offered to pay his rent and he reluctantly accepted the help. He spent the rest of his pay on food and self defense classes. Along with boxing, he took several martial-art classes and became skilled in hand to hand combat. During these years alone, he also taught himself how to use a pair of double bladed weapons. Now, he feels safe living alone and is an independent eighteen year old.
(Note: Ares has visited him several times and now Charlie is wary of his fellow Zodiac and sees them as a potential enemy. He still has yet to understand the entire, true justification of his loyalty to Ares and views the other signs as harmful opponents to his savior.)
Other: Charles will try any kind of food, no matter how strange smelling or if it’s still alive. Also, he is very sensitive when it comes to changing (or even just taking his shirt off) in front of any other people. He has a very repressed sexuality and still hardly understands it despite his age. His talents also spread to cooking, sports, and traditional healing. He hates people mentioning his middle name and when people call him Charles. One of his secrets is that he is very good at the waltz, but sadly he is kind of fearful of close human contact.
Mene Name: Jurupamae
Character Name: Leona McDaniel
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Sign/God: Capricorn
Abilities: Stone, Petrify, and some bewitching ability but unable to control it, especially when angry.
Appearance: Leona is tall and leggy, standing at approximately 5'8 and still growing. Her hair is strawberry blond and has streaks of blue running through it. She often wears jeans and tight fighting tshirts that flatter her natural curves. She has green eyes.
Personality: Leona is very strong willed and determined. Once she sets her mind on something it is as though she has tunnel vision. She will achieve her goal at whatever cost to herself. She will put herself at risk if it means saving the people closest to her. She is very loyal to those she considers friends. All others are just acquaintences and people of little or no consequence. She is prone to mood swings and is often brooding about something or other. She has a fierce temper and will often let details slip out when she is angry that are better left kept secret. She does like to laugh and has a wry dark sense of humor. She's not too fond of boys but she is still looking for the right one. She has a keen interest in snakes and reptiles and wants to become a herpetologist one day. She also loves dragons and tends to draw them on anything she can find.
History: Leona comes from a broken home. Her mother had her when she was just 23 years old and her father left her soon after that. Leona has not seen her father since she was 8 months old and has no memories of him whatsoever. Later her mother became pregnant again from another man and had a boy named Jordan. This man swore that he loved Leona as much as his own son and insisted that she call him "daddy". He left them as well and in doing so has left Leona to believe that any time she gets close to a boy he is just going to leave again so she stays distant and does not allow them to get close. In her mind this is best because they will stay.
Her mother worked to provide the children with whatever they wanted, often working two jobs to make ends meet. She was determined that they would not do without simply because there was no man around. She instilled strong values and a sense of independence in to Leona. Leona loves her unconditionally and wants to be as strong and mature as she is. She got a job delivering newspapers when she was 8 and her mother drove her around her route until she got older and could do the run on her bike. When she turned 14 she got a job at the local McDonald's and has been saving her paychecks with the hopes that she will some day be able to afford a place of her own and will not have to work as hard as her mother does. She is currently attending the local high school and is an average student.
Mene Name: Mad Hatter
Character Name: Oraphim Tellarah
Age: 16
Gender: Female when the moon is waxing, Male when the moon is waning
Sign: Libra
Abilities: Empathy- Oraphim can sense exactly how a person is feeling, though not why a person is feeling that way. This ability is also projective so Oraphim can slightly manipulate how a person feels.
Beautification/restoration: Ora can also manipulate people and things around him so that they become more beautiful. Although the appearence changes the original state of the object remains the same. So Ora could make a pustuous sick dying person into an atractive sick dying person. The person would no longer be pustuous but they'd still be dying. She could repair a bridge that was broken, but only if she felt it would be prettier fixed.
Moon Phase: Not so much an ability as a monthly irritation. On the new moon Oraphim becomes a girl and stays that way until the full moon when she switches into a boy. He hates this ability and goes out of the way to appear androgynous so no one can tell which gender he is.
Appearance: The most striking thing about Oraphim is his eyes. They are creamy white hued with dazzling rainbows, much like her birthstone the precious opal. She has a similiar sheen to her white hair, but it tends to shine with the reds and golds of the fire opals. His body is slight with a small build and a delicate frame. All around her small weight and gently tapered features give her an other wordly look. Oraphim has an aura about him that makes people want to trust him. Her posture is always proper and she will never be seen slouching or hunching over. He moves with practiced grace and efficiency.
His taste in fashion runs toward the modern victorian look. He likes the way the cut of the clothing makes him look more regal and striking. Because of this need to be the center of attention she tends to stike to bold gem tones in terms of color. Jewelry is a must with every outfit, bracelets, rings, necklaces and cuffs are her favorite ways to accesorize.
Personality: Oraphim will be the first person to jump into an arguement to play peacekeeper. She abhors violence and arguement to the point of being sick if conflict is about. He is very competitent, but if there is no task that must be completed Ora can fall into a lazy slump. This Libran lethargy is hard to work her out of but once you do she will work almost to a frenzy. His sign often causes him to shift from one extreme to the other while trying to find the balance he craves in his life.
Her kindness will know no bounds if you seek her out when you are in trouble. She is slow to anger, and will almost never raise her voice or resort to violence. Unless you strike a rare nerve, then Hell hath no fury like a Libra scorned. Ora will examine all evidence, and all sides of a situation, then finally he will come to a decision on something. Once that decision is made or oppinion formed there is no moving her from it.
Oraphim loves to flirt, male or female makes no difference to him so long as the person is willing to flirt back. She rarely means anything by this flirty habit so she tends to create a few misunderstandings.
History: To say that Ora's family was well off would be an understatement. She was raised in lavish comfort that fueled her narcissism and vanity from a young age. She had all the best teachers and tutors the world could offer. Since he was homeschooled he wasnt around many children his age because they "werent good enough" to be in his presence. At least thats what her parents repeatedly told her. The "friends" that her parents approved of had as much personality and compassion as the dolls she collected. It wasnt until he told his parents flat out that he was going to a public school, did he get to invite any lesser-rich friends home. (It was at that point they "gave up" on her conforming to rich society)
Oraphim loves to write and aspires to be a writer of poetry and fantasy novels.
Other: Oraphim will not wear or do anything that would reveal her gender. He doesnt like that he changes genders and wishes he knew which gender he was born as. Because of this phobia of people knowing he is a she and vice versa Ora never learned to swim.
Mene Name: Razzle
Character Name: Olivia Collins
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sign/God: Aries
Abilities: Earth based. They're particularly strong, but she lives with what she can get.
Appearance: Slightly overweight and on the short side of the spectrum with nice, straight light brown hair. She typically dresses casually, as there's no difference between that and fancily in her opinion. There was this one summer but nobody really liked to talk about it that much. She has light skin and not-really-notable hazel eyes and those annoying contacts. She tried to wear glasses at one point but she claimed they made her ears look slightly fat.
Personality: She's very selfish and can't seem to share or work well with others, because Olivia tends to think that anyone else would mess up what she'd be doing. Which, typically, is a lot of things. She is overly confident to the point where she can put herself into difficult situations, but this can be helpful when everyone else at work is too much of a wussy to try and earn that end of the year bonus for.
Olivia loves trying new things,. However, she tends to get frustrated when doing long tasks since she'd impatient to an annoying point. She's extremely fickle because of this, because everything fun does seem to take ages in her opinion.
However, Olivia will always be willing to do dangerous things. Nothing is dangerous, she claims often. It's not that she fears nothing, as she is indeed scared of drowning. She simply does these things because she hates restrictions and will indeed go out of her way to show it.
Olivia's extremely quick, and things just.. easily come to her. Not to mention her fast temper, but she forgives easier just because of that.
She's not one to follow after another like a sick puppy dog. Or even like a healthy puppy dog. Olivia's more of a leader type person, but this can stress her out very often, since she has a bit of a problem relating and communicating with others. This leads to messes and Olivia all but tearing out her hair.
History: Olivia grew up in a less than well-off family, the oldest of three children. Before her brother and sister was born, her mother and father oozed attention onto her, buying her sweet tasting foods she couldn't identify and colorful toys and books without another thought most of the time, with what little money they had to spare on luxuries.
When her brother was born, Olivia was already in her fours and bouncing with energy and delight. When Emily was born a simple two years after that, Olivia was already hungry for the bit of attention her brother 'took' from her. Then her littlest sister stole away the spotlight from both her brother and herself, because she had an adorable smile and pretty eyes and the curliest hair on this side of town.
Her brother grew up just not caring, because his mother had been pregnant a little over a year after his birth, and he couldn't really remember a time when everyone showered attention on him instead of his mother several times a day.
Olivia, however, could and resented her younger sister for this because she grew up in better times for the family when her parents could stay home much more often and throw even bigger and better gifts and toys and nicer clothes and fancy dresses that she probably didn't touch more than twice on to her. But Emily seemed to appreciate the gifts very little, yet still thanked them before chucking them into her room.
Mind you, Olivia and her brother were not neglected or less loved at all, but they could just tell that their parents preferred their little sister a lot more than themselves a lot more than themselves. Emmy was a sweet darling girl, with shining eyes and was intelligent for her age. Olivia had a less than enjoyable personality and was a plain girl with nice brown eyes and was a little above average.
The siblings grew up and Olivia eventually reached the point where she just didn't even remember why she hated her little sister other than something about her own lack of appreciation and her parents took Olivia for granted.
When Olivia grew into an emotional teenager, her parents just didn't know how to deal with her anymore. They truly, honestly just didn't understand their oldest child, or why she just looked at them or screamed and howled at them to leave her alone or why she didn't respond very well when they please asked their son to go in and talk to her, or why she completely threw a fit when they tried to send in their youngest daughter to speak with her and calm her down.
Olivia eventually decided that it wasn't worth staying home all the time with her family and quickly filled out requirements for jobs and found one in a little over a month. Not a very good one, as there were long hours and it paid minimum wage, but there wasn't much else one could get at an age of hers.
She currently goes to a public school and works a job that starts an hour after school ends.
Other: Olivia doesn't talk with her sister too often.
Mene Name: Bippy
Character Name: Gail Parker
Age: Between 16
Gender: Female
Sign/God: Cancer
Abilities: Post Cognition: the ability to see into the past, is normally triggered by visiting places or coming in contact with objects. Is moderately draining and can be quite damaging if used for long periods of time.
Hexes Thanks to a book she found while sorting through her parent's inventory Gail can create minor hexes like bad luck charms and minor irritations, though nothing extreme. Gail must also have time to prepare the hex and needs the book for reference.
Appearance: Gail is short for her age (4'11-5'0) and slightly pudgy. Her skin is very light and is dusted with freckles. She has a bit of an upturned nose and full pouty lips that she normally highlights with pink or tan lipstick. Light blue eyes framed with light lashes sit serenely in her face, which is surrounded by light brown hair which is either worn straight and down past her shoulders or curled and pinned up.
Clothing: Gail is as her parents say, trapped in the past. Her clothes are all thrift store and garage sale vintage finds spanning the eras. Normally she wears acid washed jeans and 70's band t-shirts, with red or black chuck martins. But, if she is at work she'll go farther back and wear various articles of clothing from the 40's and 50's.
Personality: Gail is a young woman who finds solace in the past. A hopeless romantic she tends to see the world in a glass half full sort of manner, and is a very loyal and protective person to those who are close to her. She does have some major flaws though, Gail can be an emotional rollercoaster, and is easily angered and insulted (though often times her mood swings are unsubstantiated) as easy as she is to anger; she is also easy to flatter and soaks up flirtations like a sponge soaks up water. She is also very untidy and her living areas look more like dens than rooms.
History: Gail is the middle child in a family of eight. She has an older brother, two older sisters, a younger sister and brother. Her parents own an antiques store where Gail works part time. Her childhood was rather unremarkable, though she did have an unusual fascination in old things and the stories of days gone by she heard from her grandparents and the older customers of the store. Gail's powers of post-cognition manifested themselves slowly over the course of several years. She would pick up objects in the store and would be able to see bits and pieces about the objects history. Sometimes she would see the room where it had last been in, or the faces of previous owners. She still has some problems controlling it, especially with artifacts or places that hold great amounts of psychic energy. When Gail was twelve she and her sister found a strange book in a box of inventory. The book contained spells and incantations and was the main prop in their make believe games until Gail accidentally hexed her sister and gave her itchy welts. Realizing the true power and potential of the book Gail has kept it hidden and has practiced the contents, though from a lack of natural talent or whatever, she's still rather poor at it.
Mene Name: Fiziali
Character Name: Sagita Chiron (Nicknamed Gita)
Age: 16
Gender: F
Sign/God: Sagittarius
Abilities: Gita is proficient with the bow, and has had some experience with earth magic, though she has yet to perfect it.
Entangling Roots - Gita can cast a spell which will cause invisible roots to rise up from the earth, rooting her target in place for approximately 3 seconds.
Swarm - Gita can cast a spell in which a cloud of hornets will surround her target, distracting them, which causes them to take damage while taking their focus off her and her allies. This lasts for approximately 3 seconds as well.
Appearance: Short and heavy set, Sagita is no beauty, but she doesn't reflect it in her behavior. Shoulder length dirty dishwater blonde hair, dark blue eyes outlined by golden lashes, she has no real significant traits to draw attention to herself. She wears simple button up blouses, jeans, and a pair of ratty old tennis shoes and ankle socks underneath. Her clothes are somewhat conservative and do nothing to draw attention to her. Around her neck she wears a gold chain upon which dangles a gold upside-down triangular shaped pendant inset with her birthstone, the yellow topaz, a gift from her mother for her 16th birthday. She brushes her eyelids sparingly with a tint of blue eyeshadow, and adds a hint of blush to her cheeks, but uses no other makeup. Her fingernails and toenails are well-groomed but remain unpolished.
Personality: Gita is a happy-go-lucky girl, always cheerful and good humored. She loves a good joke, and tries to be humorous herself, but oftentimes her jokes tend to go sour as no one else seems to get them but her. Everyone considers her the class clown and she is oftentimes the recipient of the butt-end of other people's jokes and pranks. She takes these jokes and pranks in stride, laughing along with everyone else. This is her way of dealing with all the sadness and disappointment in her life. Beneath it all, hidden to the rest of the world, is a girl who is lonely and seeking companionship. Gita is quite honest and if asked her opinion, will give it without regard to sparing another's feelings, as she believes honesty is always the best policy. This results in her coming across as tactless and inconsiderate of others at times. She is restless, and finds it hard to concentrate on one thing at a time. She starts something, and before she is done, she is ready to move onto something else entirely. Her grades suffer because of this. She is never punctual, always late, and doesn't seem to take things seriously, even when a matter is quite serious.
History: Gita is an only child, raised by her single mother. Her father left before she was born and her parent's have been divorced for as long as she can remember. Her mother has gone through a steady stream of boyfriends since then, all of them alcoholics or abusive, and never sticking around for very long. As a result, Gita has also suffered both physical and sexual abuse at the hands of some of these so called boyfriends, though she has never revealed this to her mother. She has come to the conclusion that all men are worthless and she wants nothing to do with men.
It was during such an event with one of her mother's boyfriend's, that Gita discovered her gift of magic. Gita, eight years old then, in a fit of fear and rage at the boyfriend who was trying to get her to do something that absolutely repulsed her, used her magic for the first time, or rather, her magic appeared for the first time. The boyfriend had been coming towards her, when suddenly he found himself rooted to the ground by invisible vines that entwined around his feet. He had looked down to see what had ensnared him, when suddenly he was surrounded by a cloud of hornets encircling him, and stinging him over and over. He'd panicked and started to flail, and the cloud of hornets had disippated just as quickly as they had formed, and the roots entangling him had come free. He found himself bounding for the front door, never to be seen again. When her mother had asked her about the boyfriend, she had merely shrugged as if she didn't know what had happened to him. He'd never returned for his things. The magic had intrigued Gita and so she had started to pay more attention to her moods and behaviors, to see if it would happen again. She also started to focus a bit more, specifically on her magic, and over time she had learned to control it somewhat.
Her mother had always had to work hard to support them, and she had never had anything of value prior to her 16th birthday when her mother gave her the necklace. She treasures the necklace and wears it every day. Being lonely and alone most of the time, Gita has found ways to occupy her days in entertaining herself. She had taken up studying archery and had checked out some books at the library and looked up archery online, learning what she could about bows and arrows. She knew her mother couldn't afford to buy her a bow, but she learned how to assemble them, and would take walks through the woods to find the proper materials needed. Fortunate for her, due to her inability to stay focused on one project for very long, one of her teachers had noticed her interest in bows, and having been a bow-hunter herself during her marriage (she and her husband had divorced and she no longer actively went bow hunting), she had presented Gita with her old compound bow as a gift. The girl had been more than enthusiastic with the gift, and had gone out every day to practice, and she had become quite good at it. She took special care of her bow, and the arrows the teacher had given her.
