Selia
17 years old
Female
Character Race
Human, with an an hint of sorceress' blood from her mother side
Character Position
Neutral
Character Personality
Her most remarkable merit is common sense, she isn't a genius in what she does, nor she has a particular brilliant school career behind her, but she knew when to push thing and when not, and when is better to get away, even if it's necessary to swallow pride.
Selia can be quite fun when she wants to, and has a good amount of auto-irony. She lacks of self confidence when regarding her look, and isn't one who likes too much being noticed, but she would do everything to reach a goal she set for herself, and when I say everything, I mean it. She isn't an aggressive person though, on the contrary, she prefers to 'stay in the shadows', letting other people do most of the work and limiting to defend herself and the most treasured ones in cases of danger.
One the other side, she has a superior attitude that often drives away people, even if she doesn't mind it at all. She doesn't follow prejudices, but once formed an opinion on someone, be it good or bad, she sticks to it and is very difficult to make her change idea.
Character Appearance
When someone looks at Selia for the first time, 'beautiful' is surely not the term that comes into his is head. This young woman is not tall, height barely reaching the average, and a bit too 'bony'. Her skin is of a natural light-tan, that doesn't intensify much with the sun. Her face has ordinary traits and her eyes lack of the vivacious gleam that many girls her age bear. The only remarkable point of her look are her hair: their owner treats them with care, as she likes them very much.
Pragmatic to the bone, Selia prefers comfortable clothes above everything else, no matter if they are skirts, jeans or gowns. For the same reason, she carefully avoids heeled-shoes, and jewelry (to have to keep an eye of one of those precious accessories is only an hassle, honestly). For a sort of unspoken compromise with her mother, however, she adapted to wear one of the presents from her tenth birthday: a necklace formed by a plain string with a green, flower-shaped pendant. Cute, but of no value whatsoever, should she lose it somewhere.
| .:Battle Information:. |
Weapon
False Ebony Staff
A thin staff of a black, shiny colour. When the tip is posed against the ground it reaches Selia's lower torso.
Abilities
Magic Wielder
Selia's blood gives her a good confidence with magic and she can pull out curious tricks trough the manipulation of what's around her (changes in the air and/or light to create illusions or sounds and the motion of objects). This ability is still limited by the small experience, so it takes much concentration to execute even the simplest of tricks.
[Currently able to: move small, light objects along a plain surface, like a table]
Dusk Path
At dawn and dusk, Selia's magic is slightly powered up, but her aim can still fail, since with small light is difficult to see the enemy.
Animal House
Selia can take control of the minds of some animals and have them do whatever she wants, in the limits of their natural capabilities, of course. With her limited experience, for now, she can do this only with one animal at time, and it's very difficult to succeed with the more intelligent species as they tend fight the 'intrusion' with all their strength.
[Works with: insects, small fishes and birds, rodents]
Additional Abilities

| .:Character History:. |
Selia's childhood was pretty much common. She was born in a big town, not the biggest of her country, but of a pretty decent size nonetheless, and her parents had a good work, her mother being a veterinarian and her father a lawyer. Therefore, she had been one of many girls around, until she hit puberty and her parents endured a financial breakdown. They had been quite baffled by the thing, but settled with it rather easily with the help of friends and relatives, so that they never became really poor.
Selia, though, didn't like the situation at all and was always worried about what people thought about them, if they pitied them etc, until she grew up enough to understand she didn't have to be liked by people at all costs and it was better to accept her situation and move forward. She settled with her new lifestyle and learned to mind her own business before other people's one.
In that period, she turned her attention to magic, as her mother had a few old books received by her ancestors, who, in the past, had been a line of famous sorcerers and sorceresses. Selia had talent for the thing (even if her power is small, considering her blood is diluted by generations of crosses with regular humans), therefore her mother had always encouraged her on that path.
The strange thing was that, the more she trained and gained confidence with her powers, the more she grew uneasy and jumpy: she felt observed, stalked, especially during evenings when the shadows grew darker and larger.
She kept ready to spot who could possibly be haunting her and one evening, she was sure she had seen something black with shiny eyes lurk in an alley behind her. Half terrified - half determined to make that situation stop, she went after it...
I did post in shades of grey if anyone even remembers that lmao
