Physical Characteristics
The Huntress doesn't look particularly physically imposing. Standing at all of 5'1", with a soft, curvaceous build that doesn't show much muscle tone, and big, ink-dark doe eyes, she looks deceptively innocent. But, the way the slightly crooked shape of her lips creates a perpetual smirk, the glimmer of mischief in her eyes, and the strange, silent way she moves serve as subtle indicators of her true capabilities.
Her face is a diamond shape, with high cheekbones, a small forehead, and a sharp jawline and chin. She has heavily freckled, copper-tan skin, smooth and soft save for the scars that sporadically mark her body and cut through the left side of her mouth, which has a round shape and a fuller bottom lip than top. Her eyes are massive, easily her most captivating feature, round and upturned, and a honey-gold color.
Her hair is waist-length, so thick and full that it's difficult to keep in most updos, and naturally falls into large ringlet curls. It is a bright coral color, just between orange and pink, almost like a very pigmented rose gold. Long lashes frame her eyes, which, like her full, arched brows, are a slightly deeper shade than her hair, closer to a russet hue.
Most of her expressions hold a perpetual air of innocent mischief, almost catlike. Her smiles are crooked, revealing a gap between her front two teeth and a pair of slightly overlong canines. Her eyes are calculating, always moving and judging and thoughtful. When she is moving, which she almost always is, her steps are a graceful yet careless dance, nonchalant despite a practiced agility. She habitually bites her bottom lip, particularly when she is up to no good, and always seems to be smiling, giggling, and moving. On most pretty young women, this might read as bubbly, but something about the huntress's energy is far too foreboding to be bubbly.
Her body type is a pear shape, with narrow shoulders and wide hips. Her limbs are long, with slender arms, hands, and fingers, and thick legs. Much of her clothing is chosen to emphasize her figure, with a preference towards black and red fabrics, and a love of floral lace. Her accessories are almost exclusively gold, and typically follow a similar dainty floral theme to her clothing.
What characterizes the huntress as decidedly non-human is the flowers. Scarlet foliage grows all across her body, with red ivy seeming to curl around whatever clothing she has chosen to wear that day. Flowers bloom from her hair and skin, most notably several species of lilies, roses, and the occasional magnolia breaking up the sea of crimson. A pair of black branches sprout from just behind her hairline, curling around the sides of her head in a way that somewhat resembles the antlers of a deer. More flowers and red leaves sprout from these branches, which sometimes shake loose, leaving petals in her wake.
Personality
The huntress has a surprisingly playful and energetic personality for her grim occupation. Outgoing, mischievous, and gregarious, she appears to be quite friendly. Yet, there is something strange about the way she chatters with anyone. She makes many friends, but few of them could list many things they know about her. She dodges questions skillfully, teases and flirts and keeps the attention of her companions on lighter topics. Perhaps she is simply shallow, but her strangely perceptive insights make the label feel ill-fitting. She rarely seems to take any topics seriously, dismissing them with snarky comments and jokes, but putting her in front of a particularly emotional person is perhaps the only way to make her seem genuinely uncomfortable. In fact, she is so overflowing with confidence, that she'll face down nearly any threat without so much as flinching.
She can be a bit intense, bordering on exhausting, with her seemingly endless passion and energy. She loves an adventure of any kind, be it exploring a new city, studying some rare creature or plant, or indulging in one of her various hobbies. With her tendency to drag her new friends on these adventures, willing or otherwise, she isn't the greatest of friends. But, time with her is nothing if not interesting.
Despite being highly impulsive, the witch is shockingly intelligent. Her knowledge base can be most easily compared to a well; she specializes in a few select areas, but knows the topics inside and out, and knows how to use that knowledge to her advantage. Other areas of information and most life skills are...less than stellar. But, with her intellect and tendency to heavily fixate on things that interest her to the point of forgetting everything else, she picks up new information relatively easily.
One of said interests she has fixated on is art. She is quite creative, and loves to paint, draw, and engage in other visual forms of art. She tends to try out new mediums regularly, but has only found a talent and developed a skill for painting and drawing.
Those rare few people who can get through all of her arrogant bravado, boisterous energy, and tendency to curb all questions will find a surprisingly loving personality. Though she's not the greatest with emotions, she is incredibly loyal, and ride-or-die to a fault with those who earn her trust. It's not an easy task, but those who complete it will recieve lots of handmade gifts, affectionate teasing, and a very, very protective pyromancer. She holds her true friends close for life, and would do anything for them.
