Human Appearance:

5'10" - Asian/white mix - warm brown hair in a sloppy bun - generally predatory expression and position

Being some White and Asian mix that she's never been told the exact identity of, this young woman has the striking mix of pale skin and warm, dark brown hair, hinting towards Asian blood, but a sharper shape to her face and features that hint towards European blood as well. A faint dusting of freckles covers her nose and the top of her cheeks.

She has a straight nose with a slight curve upwards at the end, though hardly noticeable. Her cheeks arent too high, but moderate, and her jaw has a soft square shape to it. Her chin is round with a slight square to it. Her eyes are almond-shaped, being on the thinner side, and theyre usually lowered in a thoughtful, determined, or angry stare. Her eyebrows are slightly arched with a gentle downward slope towards the inner corner of her eyes. Her full lips are a pale pink with a slight, but not too pronounced, cupids bow.

Her figure is tall and slim, being an ectomorph body type with a pear shape and sports about 20% body fat. She stands at 510, on the taller end. This helps give her a lithe appearance. Her gait, smooth and graceful, is almost a stalking motion, making her seem somewhat predatory. Her resting bitch face doesnt help this appearance in the slightest. Her legs make up a lot of her height, being a bit more than half of her body length. She has a smaller bust, making athletics easier for her. Her hips arent too wide, either, though they are wider than her shoulders to account for her body type. Shes just all around thin, being of an athletic body type over brute strength.

She is dusted with small nicks here and there from small incidents (climbing trees, tripping, playing with knives) However, there is a 3 inch scar, very faded rosy pink, on her left cheek. Its in the shape of a line, and its from a run-in with a dagger in one of many self training sessions with a tree, though on this occasion the dagger got stuck in the bark, and caught her as she yanked it out a little too spiritedly.

Attire:

Kia is usually found in a light, plain, comfortably loose t-shirt, a size or two too large for her. She typically has this loosely tucked in to a pair of dark blue pants, made of a rough yet flexible fabric. Her pants are held up with a dark brown leather belt. There is a small pouch on the side of this belt with things such as currency, first aid supplies, and the like. Her fanciest knife sits proudly on her hip near this pouch, with a black handle laced with silver, and a layered blade of about 7 inches with swirling designs. She does, however, have one or two little blades stashed where she can grab them in a pinch.

Her shoes are always comfortable, no fashion sense in them at all, just the most comfortable calf height boots she finds, but they are quite often plain and dark, therefore matching what she wears.

Her dark warm brown hair she keeps up in a sloppy bun, typically with strands falling out of it, which she often doesn't bother to tuck back in. She bears no tattoos, she's never really considered getting one.

Shape Shift appearance: Most anything she pleases :)

Voice: Her voice is deep for a woman, and, though it carries obvious feminine tones, it's also masculine for a woman's. She often carries her voice low, giving her a rough tone to it, but she generally speaks high, smooth, and cheery when conversing with someone of authority. When she thinks about her voice, she's self conscious, as she has been told is like a man's, but she usually doesn't.

Personality:

Intelligent, intimidating, defensive, protective, uncomfortable around most people, natural-born leader, teasing, playful, (unwittingly) flirtatious.

This woman is intelligent, this is something few that know her can deny. While she is quiet often, which results in the occasional assumtion that she isn't bright and keeps to herself for fear of sounding dumb, but that's completely wrong. Others believe she's quiet because she's cocky and sees herself as above others, which is also wrong, though she might look down on some. She is merely quiet due to her observance and thoughtfulness. If anybody were to challenge her on her intelligence or empathy, she would typically let it lie and shrug it off, but she'd make a point of proving them wrong from then on. Especially if this involves making the individual in question look dumb.

Intimidating. That's how those who don't know her would describe her in one word. To be fair, she is tall, she is quiet (when she does speak, she has a deep, and even somewhat masculine, voice), she's got a resting bitch face, and a somewhat intense aura. However, she just acts this way as a protective mechanism. If people are intimidated or simply put-off by her attitude, they can't approach her in order to manipulate her or threaten her. It's a win-win.

While this woman can be defensive, as part of protective mechanism, this shell drops as soon as she realizes you don't want to be a threat or you don't have the capacity to be one. So, if you align yourself with her or are just plain dumb, then she'll be one of the biggest mocking, teasing, and playful individuals you'll meet.

Yes, she's protective. She has to be. She's decent at fighting, she cares too much about people, and she has every right to be protective of her loved ones. This does, however, mean that getting on the wrong side of her or someone she cares for could result in losing a finger or two. Or... she might go and get herself losing a finger or two.

Kia is a natural-born leader. Just being around her will make it evident. She has a commanding air, even when she's being playful. She tries not to be rude or unnecessarily mean, but she will be very firm and might bully those who aren't behaving, just an itty bit.

To elaborate further on what was stated earlier, she is very playful and teasing. She was raised in a family where playful roasts are a sign of affection rather than bullying, and she doesn't attempt to filter it now that it's been trained into her. So, if you're a sensitive soul, or can't understand a jest, a relationship with her won't work out.

Lastly, this poor woman is unwittingly flirtatious sometimes. She doesn't mean it most the time, she really doesn't. She doesn't consider herself especially attractive, but she's had guys flirt back after she's been unwittingly flirting and had to apologize about a million times in such instances, with a beet red complexion. So... she might flirt with you without meaning it, but this could also be a subconscious portrayal of her feelings for you, who knows?

Strengths:

- First and foremost, her ability to gather information from a variety of sources. She's good at overhearing, as she isn't often noticed, and she's good at earning trust so that people feel they can talk to her. She often can't bring herself to share what others tell her in confidence, but it's still information useful to her.

- She is athletic and graceful

- Extremely talented with knives, but rather well-rounded in all fighting styles

- She has a silver tongue, she can, in most situations, manipulate people out of the clothes on their backs.

Weaknesses:

- There are some who realize her manipulation tactics, and, in these situations, she must fall to her knees begging for that which she wants. She isn't used to people picking up on her fox like nature, and is caught quite off guard by those who do

- Asthma, while not extreme, it affects her and she has the occasional attack. The one weakness she is extremely guarded about

- Those she loves. She will go to the ends of the earth and eagerly get herself killed for those she loves, even if said individual doesn't return the sentiment

- She isnt naturally likeable to most, and often has to put in an effort to have people like her

Likes:

- Her family and friends

- Feeling heard

- Being in a leadership role. She won't put immense effort to make others listen to and respect her, as she doesn't care much to have power. However, when she is in a position of responsibility, she appreciates it

Dislikes:

- Feeling ignored

- Threats to her loved ones

- Being taken for granted

- Feeling patronized (some might call her a hypocrite)

- Idiots, haughty people, the like

Reputation: She's seen as cold, calculating, and detached by those who don't know her. To be fair, she comes off as either cold for the first few times one might meet her. She used to come off as shy, but has since put on a constant stern expression and broody gaze. However, you'll hear a good word or two put in about her loyalty at times as well. She doesn't often display her intelligence, but her loyalty is without question.

Affiliations: OPEN

Love Interest: Y'know she's got her eye on somebody... ;)

Kin: One or two professors at school are distantly related to her, but nobody really worth mentioning

Pet: Not really her pet, she's got a raven that visits her when she's at school every year, though. She gave it a cookie once and since then he's a beggar at her door. She loves him, though, calls him/her Steve.

Theme Songs: Overthinking - The Astronomers

Backstory: She, like most at this school, grew up blessed. She was well loved but rebellious just because. Her family is well known, with even a few infamous Darions sharing the name.

Other: She doesn't like drama, somehow winds up part of too much though.

(c) Potato-Lord on Picrew.Me

Human Appearance:

6'1", 245lbs / Golden bronze skin tone / chest length dreads / bright orange-red eyes

This man stands tall, at about 6'1", with neither a thin nor particularly large form. He weighs in at about 245 pounds. He is well muscled, and works out often to upkeep this appearance. While he doesn't have lean muscle, he's not necessarily bulky, more somewhere in between. His torso is rectangular, with a slight curve in at his waist as all have, and it decends straight down into his well-toned legs. About 60% of his height is made up by his legs, as they are on the longer side.

He sports a golden bronze skin tone, having dark genetics, though the warmth of it comes through to lighten the tones. His hair is black, and he wears it in true, tangled dreadlocks that reach halfway down his chest and shoulder blades. He wears a few, scattered, intricate golden rings in his dreads that are kept in easily by some of the knots that have formed around them. He ties his hair back on the occasion, but often prefers it down.

His face is square shaped, with obvious smile and laugh lines having already formed, creating darker lines around his eyes and mouth that are quite often folded in a smile. While his face is far from chisled, having an average layer of fat, he's got a nice square jaw, average height cheek bones, and a nubian nose. His eyes are almond shaped, with the slightest slope up towards his temples. They shine a brilliant reddish orange, a color he quite appreciates. Oftentimes, one will also find a thin line of golden eyeliner both above and below his eyes which accents their color.

Attire: With no solid wardrobe, this man wears all sorts of clothing. From midieval boots and leather vest to modern hoodie and jeans. He doesn't wear skirts, that's about all you can count on. Also, he won't wear shoes in which he can't comfortably perform athletics. His fashion sense is undeniable, though, all his outfits are regal and scream both wealthy and educated. Plus, he, admittedly, does a little bit of magic on his clothing to give it some little bit of je ne se quoi. He has a tattoo on his shoulder that extends to his chest of a magnificent pheonix, its feathers golden at the ends. He wears two rings on each hand, the fingers, colors, and designs varying.

Shape Shift appearance: He's a cream colored wolf with amber eyes, about 8 feet in length and 4.5 feet tall. He is well muscled with long, thick, and wavy fur. He seems to wear a constant smirk, with strange features for a wolf. One would be shocked at him if they knew he wasn't trully a canine. He quite often enjoys making jokes about the color of his fur compared to the color of his skin, especially when it makes people uncomfortable.

Voice: His voice is smooth and of an average octave. His tone is one of a well-educated and confident man.

Personality:

Intelligent / Cocky / Manipulative / Friendly / Loyal / Protective / Open minded / MAJOR Flirt alert

Intelligence shines in this man, and glares all those who get to know him in the face. He is very bright and excels at most things he puts his mind to. He is always thinking, wheether or not he acts like it. Well, maybe not always. He's quite the overthinker, and takes actions to distract himself. A better way to put it is that he is thinking whenever he's not focused on not thinking. He is the type to throw caution to the wind in the attempt to get a feeling of exhiliration to distract him from his troubles. In this way, he quite often gets himself into trouble, it is merely fortunate he's bright enough to find a way out most times.

However, this intelligence isn't always used for good. This man is very manipulative, and most come to realize it sooner or later. He has a way of making anybody feel that they are his main interest, whether that be in a friendly or romantic way. Even those with enough sense to realize that he's obviously using them or manipulating their feelings can't help but like this man when he's around. However, when he isn't, his spell is broken and it isn't uncommon to hear his fake friends speak ill behind his back. This can be why he struggles to gain the genuine affections of intelligent individuals, though. Even if he genuinely cares for them, how can they know this? He acts like he genuinely cares for everybody, but obviously does not, so those who know his tricks have difficulty trusting and understanding him.

Even with fake friends, though, he has a few genuine friends that he would go to the ends of the earth for. He would put his life on the line for them any day, any situation, without even asking why. His loyalty is nearly unwavering. He is quite forgiving to those he truly cares for. However, you can lose his loyalty, though it's difficult. Most situations that result in losing his affection, however, are those that involve hurting somebody else he cares deeply for. He is also protective of those he cares for, comes with the territory of having few genuine relations.

He is very friendly and outgoing, as one might have picked up on. It truly does making knowing whether his affections are genuine or not extremely difficult. He flirts with pretty much everybody, too. A kiss on the hand upon meeting you, a wink at you when others aren't looking, a sweet and vulnerable smile, he has too many tricks up his sleeve. Yet, once the relationship is genuine both ways, he is the most understanding and loving person you'll every meet. He would give his queen - or king - the world, at a moment's notice.

Strengths:

- Powerful shape shifting and human form. He is decent at magic and phically capable, making him a formidable enemy -

- Manipulation. Pretty obvious by now, but he can make most doubt their own feelings and thoughts with his manipulative tricks. He's quite likeable, which lends to his next strength. -

- Support system. He makes powerful friends that will come through for him, and even fake friends that will jump at the chance to aid him if they have something to gain or are just good people. -

Weaknesses:

- Trust issues. Being so good at manipulation, he doesn't know how good those around him are, and he quite often has doubts about whom he can truly trust. -

- Ego. A weakness of many werewolves, he's cocky. This can easily be used against him, and he's caught quite off guard by those who openly dislike him due to the fact that not many do, openly at least. -

- Silver. Once again a shared weakness by werewolves, the sight of true silver strikes fear into his heart, it's the only thing that does. -

Likes:

Dislikes:

Reputation: You can already guess he's well known. He's a Known that is quite known around Argate. He's infamous, famous, adored, despised, all of it. Teachers either love him for his good marks or dislike him for his cocky and know-it-all attitude. Peers either love him for how easy to like he is, or hate him because he is easy to like due to manipulation. It's a hit or miss, most like him and the rest dislike him, there's incredibly few that are neutral towards him unless they don't know him well.

Affiliations: OPEN

Love Interest: Perhaps... you'll never know

Kin: He has no known blood relations

Pet: A plain grey rat he originally planned on making his lunch. He swears he still plans on it, but the rat was supposed to be on the menu a year ago. The rat usually sits in his pocket without making a fuss, but it will occasionally make its presence known.

Theme Songs: HAPPY FACE - Jagwar Twin (Cloudkid remix)

Joker - Rory Webley

Backstory: His parents died in a car crash like some sort of boring human backstory. Honestly he finds their death rather boring, maybe as a coping mechanism? Anyway his adoptive parents were close friends to his parents and they gave him as good a life as any. He grew up very dedicated to learning magic and mastering the human world alike, always putting himself at the highest standard, even though he doesn't always act it.

Other: He's just a sad li'l boy

Age: 21.

Sex: Male.

Gender: Man.

Sexual Preference: Gay Disaster.

Year: Sapling/2.

Wing: Manticore or Unicorn- I can't decide..

Species: Half-Breed. Fairy and Witch/Wizard.

Antion/Darion: Antion.

/~/

Human Appearance:

(c) Potato-Lord on Picrew.me

Keijo stands around average at 5' 9”, though he tends to seem 5’8” or 5’7” due to the slouch that has begun to take over his once proud albeit awkward posture. His skin tone is an ivory color with warm undertones, something that helps him seem a bit less sickly. Freckles is something that Keijo most certainly has. Everywhere, nonetheless. He’s basically the reason why some people have none. He took them. He took all of them. He’s covered in freckles. Head to toe. It’s simply a sea of freckles. And then he does have the fairy opalescent tattoos that swirl at his arms. Not really anywhere else, though they do crawl up and around his neck a bit.

--

Keijo has a heart face shape, meaning his chin is smaller with larger cheeks at the ears and then a forehead that is only a bit smaller than his cheeks. His cheeks aren’t as full as they could be, but they are full enough to not be worrying, especially considering the circumstances. Now for the nose, he has a straight nose, meaning that while it’s straight(ha, couldn’t be him) and relatively normal, it’s a bit straighter than most. His lips are downturned in shape, but relatively average when it comes to fullness. His most commonly seen expression used to be polite, kind smiles given to practically everyone. Nowadays, it’s shifted into a tiny smile or straight lines.

--

His eyebrows are average in thickness, and with a slight, casual arch. Finally, his eyes are a deepset round shape and are a light blue speckled with white and light gray, giving off the impression of the sky. There’s light eye bags underneath them hinting at the lower amount of sleep he’d been getting recently too, but they aren’t horrible just yet. His top lashes are rather thick too, though his lower ones are about average if not a bit thicker, honestly.

--

His face is framed by hair that’s the color of a Mountain Bluebird’s blue, it has some waves but overall it’s fairly straight. It goes down to his shoulders, so he usually has it in a tiny, loose ponytail. Not like that keeps it out of his eyes though, it always manages to get back in his face. So he’s glad that he doesn’t have an absurd amount of bags, otherwise he probably wouldn’t be able to see at all.

--

His body structure could quickly be described as rectangular. Everything about his structure screams that he’s definitely more so built for agility than muscle, though he certainly has enough muscle to at least hold his own in hand-to-hand if he gets a few lucky shots until he can at least grab his whittling/carving knife or some other weapon. He weighs a good 136, with his BMI at a perfectly healthy 20.08 without taking into consideration the wings. Speaking of the wings- As for the feathery wings that fairies have? He has the ones of a Mountain Bluebird.

--

When it comes to scars, Keijo has quite the collection. Most of them are from his most recent escape from death. But let’s start with the oldest ones first. He has one that goes along his right cheek from standing up for one of his little sisters against a customer at the bakery from before the flower shop had been opened. He has one at his left eyebrow, basically splitting it in two, from roughhousing with his brothers a bit too much. He’s got what looks like they’re from claws at his torso, from his first brush with death where his blood father ended up saving him and got killed instead.

Attire:

When it comes to fashion and attire, Keijo is certainly a bit more… Eccentric, than most. He loves bright colors, soft textures, and cool tones. And so, he usually ends up wearing that kind of stuff.

--

One of his most oftenly worn outfits is probably a mint green, loose, bamboo fabric shirt with pistachio green cotton pants and an emerald green belt. Along with that though, he also has dyed forest green leather boots. It’s apparently his ‘Staple Sapling Getup’, as he calls it. Made with clothing that are shades of green that he dyed himself. He also has a sacramento green, bamboo fabric jacket that he wears. And another one for the colder months that has some fur at the hood, which he also dyed pistachio green.

--

When it comes to jewelry and tattoos? He doesn’t have any, other than the fairy opalescent tattoos that he has swirling his arms all the way up his neck. But that’s all. He doesn’t really wear jewelry. He’s thought about it a few times, but he’s kind of decided that if he wears any- It’ll be jewelry that has meaning to him, or that was given to him by someone he cares about. Which hasn’t happened yet, so he doesn’t wear any.

--

Other than all of this, he does have a sheath attached to his belt along with a few packs(all of which are brightly colored) that hold the tools for his whittling and carving hobbies. The colored sheathed holds his prized colored carving/whittling knife.

ShapeShift Appearance:

(Credits to sherlybones on DA.)

Keijo’s animal appearance is that of a male Mountain Bluebird. His height doesn’t seem to really carry over to the small bird, with him being the average size of the species. So, about seven inches in length. From beak to tail. With a black beak, legs, feet, and beady black eyes. His wingspan, though, is about 14 inches.

Voice:

Keijo’s voice is riddled with anxiety and panic, more often than not. He had lived a rather sheltered life before everything, confident and comforting- Now though? He can barely muster enough to do more than mumbling. He hates it, but guilt and fear keeps him from doing more. At least he’s stopped stuttering- A habit he had before this all happened too, actually. So, silver linings!..?

/~/

Personality:

Keijo is sweet, calm, confident, and reserved. He tends not to speak to new people much, tends to stick to people he already knows and cares about. He wouldn’t talk to any of the human town’s girls who’d stare at him and his brothers, though they certainly had fun with them. The girls had already said that it gave him an air of confidence, thinking he didn’t need them. He wouldn’t talk to much of anyone, at least not regularly. Other than his family, maybe.

--

When Keijo did talk to people, he always tried his best to be polite. Polite, kind, considerate. He always tried to be as inoffensive as possible, always tried to seem less awkward than he really was. He never was able to get rid of his stutter though. Especially when lying about magic and whatnot. He tried acting like he hated anyone with it, he tried acting like his family didn’t have it. He knew the consequences, but he also just was never a fan of lying. Lying always made him feel sick to the stomach. It still does.

--

Loyalty had meant more to him than some inborn feeling about lying though. Loyalty to his family, loyalty to their trust in him… And maybe, he had wanted to prove himself. Maybe he had felt a bit distanced from them, being the only one to ever truly take after his fairy father. Like he had disgraced them, like he could only ever burden them. Especially after his blood father had gotten himself killed to save him when he was younger. He still regrets it. He regrets leaving him to die out of fear too. He’d gotten out, surely he could’ve gotten him out too. He has a lot of regrets.

--

Hmm… This has been mostly about him and how he was before the death of his father, hasn’t it? Well, let’s go over how he is now then.

--

Nowadays? Guilt and regret about the past makes it all too easy for him to try and blame himself for every mistake. He can’t say sorry about what happened to his family because of him, so he should say sorry for everything else. If he can say sorry for everything else then maybe he’d be forgiven for the past too. He doubts that, but the thought process makes it easier for him. He doesn’t want to think about how his family would scoff, laugh, and roll their eyes at him, tell him to forgive himself already and move on with his new friends. He doesn't want to think about that, because it wouldn’t change how he feels. And he definitely feels.

--

Keijo feels deeply, he’s an emotional guy. Anger is deep, but fast and without grudges. Sadness is deep, and he’ll cry. He’d cry for hours if given the opportunity. And even happiness, when he can look past the guilt and regrets and underlying feeling of the happiness not being deserved, he feels it deeply too. He’ll laugh, smile, and joke. Whatever he feels, he feels it deeply. Including love, he doesn’t fall fast. But he does fall deep.

--

When it comes to trust nowadays? Keijo is a lot more skeptical of people than he used to be. He used to believe the good in people, used to think that peace was possible between Antion and Darion, used to trust people to do the right thing. Now though, he simply can’t think like that. He’s more suspicious of people, less trusting in their morals and judgments.

--

When he does trust and care about someone though, it definitely shows. He’s willing to do anything to protect those he cares about. He’s lost people already, and he doesn’t want to lose anyone else. He’d rather die himself before he lets anything happen to the people he cares about.

--

He is deeply interested in learning in general, to be honest. He loves to learn, loves to help, loves to read, and loves to write. There was a reason he had been saving up for books instead of anything else. Teaching and learning and helping is what he lives for. Especially now, given that there isn’t much else for him to live for. Other than his family, and maybe to eventually do enough right that he’s forgiven for his wrongs.

Strengths: Whittling/Carving, Dying, Baking, Fast Reflexes, Considerate, Quick Learner, Eyesight, Dual Sticks/Batons(literally the only weapon he’d ever learned before coming here), Loyal, Protective, and Honest.

Weaknesses: Lying, Guilt, Regretful, Self-Sacrificing, Slightly Temperamental, Crowds, Socializing, Skeptical, Lower Self-Esteem, Awkward, and Indecisive.

/~/

Reputation:

For a while after he was born, it was thought he couldn’t even learn magic. His wings and tattoos were late to come in, and he hadn’t shown any wizard traits either. He was lucky his hair was blue, otherwise he would’ve most certainly been deemed magicless by everyone but his family. Everyone except his father. Regardless, they grew in and his reputation quickly changed from all that drama to a much simpler one. Sweet, reserved, quiet, confident, hardworking, smart, and a bit awkward. Until his father died, and his mother remarried. Now, he gets pity from a lot of people. Especially when they hear how he died.

Affiliations: Open.

Love Interest: Open.

Kin: He has sisters and brothers and step-sisters and step-brothers at the school, coming from a very large family. One sister, two brothers, Two step-sisters, and one step-brother. Both step-sisters are Wisened, all three brothers are Seedlings, and his sister is Knowledgeable. He has a half-brother and half-sister that will be Seedlings after he becomes a Knowledgeable, and two half-sisters that will come when he’s a Wisened.

Backstory:

He comes from a large family of 11 children, including him. Out of his mother and blood father’s children, he was the youngest. Their fourth born child. The last one born before his father died saving him when he was merely 15. He’d froze in fear instead of using that awesome speed that fairies get, that he was known to have gotten from his father. After his blood father’s death, his mother got married to a wizard, who had three kids already. And then they had four more kids. Twins run in the family, all sides of the family. His blood father had a twin, his mother’s side of the family had twins, and his step-father’s side of the family had plenty of twins. Really, that’s about the only way they got to 11 kids who were all relatively close in age.

Other: I do believe he is now finished.
