Appearance Description: Mia is a somewhat small quadrupedal dragon, standing at about 5'2" and weighing 130lbs. despite being quadrupedal, she can quite easily stand on her hind legs, and even has opposable thumbs. She has a pair of wings on her back, each one about 5' long when fully extended. Her scales are mostly a light green colour, save for the thicker ones on her neck and stomach, which are slightly darker. She has a 'mane' of white feathers, which goes from the top of her head right to the tip of her tail. She has a horn on each side of her head, which curve around and point forward. Her eyes are a deep shade of purple, and have thin, slit-shaped pupils. As for clothing, Mia wears a set of white robes that wouldn't look out of place on a mage. She typically leaves the hood up, though her face is still clearly visible. Underneath the robes, she has several straps which securely hold her bow and first-aid kit, one under each wing.
Personality: Mia is shy and reclusive, usually only speaking when she absolutely needs to. On the rare occasion that she does talk, she does so in a hushed voice, barely loud enough to hear. To some, this may make her seem weak and naive, but that's far from the truth. She's much more sharp-witted than she may initially seem, and she always has her guard up around those who she doesn't know. It can be difficult to gain her trust, and though she's willing to cooperate with strangers, she won't let her guard down around them.
Backstory:
Back when she was still human, Mia was a med school student. She was the type who never talked to people or made friends, seeing such things as a waste of time. All she really cared about at the time was her grades and exams. If she would've known what would happen next, she would've never bothered. In just one night, all of the hard work to maintain her straight A's had gone to waste.
Mia couldn't even comprehend what happened at first. It was almost like a dream. Her body was completely transformed, she had powers that shouldn't have been possible outside of fiction, and when she went outside, there was mass panic. She fled from the chaos of the city, moving closer to the outskirts. After coming across a heavily wooded area, she set up a shelter there, away from civilization.
Over time, she used her magic to manipulate the forest in order to protect herself and her belongings. After several weeks, the once easy-to-navigate woods were transformed into a twisting maze of vines and roots. While Mia had the whole thing mapped out, anyone else would get lost, and quickly succumb to Mia's Snares and Light Arrows. Rumors quickly spread, and after hearing about the so-called 'green witch' in the 'cursed forest', most people started to avoid it.
Meanwhile, a cult in the city she fled from grew more and more powerful. They patrolled the surrounding area, kidnapping anyone they found. Of course, since she'd isolated herself, Mia didn't even know about them at first. Her first encounter was with one of their victims who'd managed to escape. The heavily mutated Gryphon went into Mia's maze to hide, and moments later, several cultists went in after her. Just like all the others, though, Mia was able to fend them off.
Though the cultists were gone, the one they were after was in terrible condition. By the time Mia found her, she was unconscious, and after getting a closer look, she was shocked that she was still alive. With her healing magic, Mia was able to tend to most of her wounds, but the growths on her body were a different story. The magic had no effect on them, and she couldn't do much else without modern medical equipment. She decided that she had to find out what those cultists did to the poor girl, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do anything to help her.
After making sure nobody could get to her patient, she left her maze for the first time since the ordeal started. As refreshing as it was to be out of that claustrophobic forest, she was constantly on her toes. She kept her distance, avoiding the cultists as much as possible. She was able to locate most of their bases and outposts, but she knew she couldn't take them on alone.
One night, she returned to find that some of her Snares had been set off. Fearing the worst, she rushed to her shelter in the center of the maze. It was there that she met Trevor and his group of adventurers. They initially assumed that Mia was part of the cult, since she had one of their victims hidden away in her shelter. She assumed the same about them as well, but after a brief standoff, they soon understood that they had a common enemy. After sharing everything she knew, she joined them in their quest to take the cult down.
After fighting many waves of cultists, they eventually tracked down and defeated their leader, freeing his prisoners and claiming a piece of some kind of artifact. While Trevor continued his journey, Mia opted to stay behind. A lot of the prisoners were in the same condition as the girl she found earlier, and she wanted to try everything she could to repair the damage that had been done to them.
Even after Trevor's quest was finished she continued to care for the victims. That was, until the day that she saw something in the sky. Upon going outside, she noticed Trevor heading over to investigate, but there was a problem. His usual group of companions wasn't with him. He went out there on his own, without any backup. Mia decided to follow him, just to make sure he didn't get himself into any trouble. As she got to the top of the mountain, though, she noticed that Trevor wasn't there. All she could find was the artifact that he carried around with him. While she didn't know how to use it, she picked it up anyway, and ended up accidentally activating it. Much to her surprise, she was teleported away, to the same place that Trevor ended up.
power section-
Skills:
Healer - While she's far from a professional, Mia has a decent amount of medical knowledge. This, combined with her healing magic, makes her particularly good at keeping her allies alive.
Botany - Since most of her magic revolves around plants, she's picked up a fair bit of knowledge about them.
Memory - Her near-photographic memory has helped her in many situations, such as getting amazing grades in med school, and memorizing the layout of her forest maze.
Traits:
Nimble - While she isn't much of a fighter, she does have the upper hand when it comes to speed and agility. It's helped her escape from many unfavorable situations.
Tough Scales - Her body is covered in thick scales, which are very difficult to cut or slice through. Blunt force, on the other hand...
Flight - She uses her wings to lift herself off the ground, and go from point A to point B. Just don't expect her to do anything more than that. She's not nearly as agile as she is on the ground.
Powers:
Like others in her chunk, Mia has control over two elements. In her case, it's Light and Nature.
Barrier - A small barrier of light appears in front of Mia, protecting her from harm. It can be broken if hit with enough force.
Light Arrow - An arrow-like projectile that travels in a straight line, piercing through multiple targets. The only spell in Mia's arsenal that can do any physical harm.
Radiant Aura - A multi-target healing spell. A ring of light forms around Mia, healing the wounds of anyone inside, whether they're an ally or an enemy.
Biokinesis - Mia can speed up the growth of plants, and force them to grow a certain way. Mana cost depends on the size of the plant.
Snare - A simple trap that consists of roots buried underground. Reacting to body heat, they shoot out of the ground and latch on to anything that gets close. Though they don't harm their target in any way, they can hold someone in place for quite some time. The trap lasts for 24 hours, unless it's triggered or destroyed.
Pollen Cloud - A small cloud of pollen forms around Mia, acting as a kind of smoke bomb. While it only causes minor drowsiness in those who escape quickly, anyone who breathes in too much will be put into a deep sleep. She can also expel a smaller amount from her palm, for a reduced magic cost.
Suture - Several vines move along the target's body, suturing any wounds and speeding up the healing process. While it's more effective than Radiant Aura, it only works on a single target.
Equipment: -A simple wooden bow, formed by Mia's nature magic. Though she doesn't carry any arrows, she uses it to shoot her magically-formed Light Arrows.
-A first-aid kit, packed with various medical supplies.
-A white hooded cloak, specifically made to fit a dragon, rather than a human.
Here she is!
Also, can I get an invite link to the Discord? That last one seems to have expired.
@ridlins oh hi! Sorry about the long wait, We just had a hurricane over the last week or so and I've been dealing with the aftermath, rather little compared to most people who got hit, but it still needed cleaning up, and made it rather hard to focus on leisure like RP @x@
