[b]Tora
"Tiger"[/b]
[i]Born Célestin Beauchene[/i]

Sold as a "slave of lust" when he was eight by a man named Edward Coates. The man saw potential in him when he passed him on the street one day, seeing his unusual eyes; one the color of the sea, another of a plum. His unusually feminine features made him easy to disguise as a young girl for a much larger profit. The seller had little to do with the actual dressing of Tora, and only saw him once afterward; just as he was being sold across the ocean in Selelio. Tora continued to dress as a girl since then so he wouldn't be found as easily by Edward once the buyer refused to pay.

The color of his eyes was a result of an unexplained genetic alteration when Tora was five. He had become very ill one day and his eyes began to change to their current color and glossiness, his metabolism became much faster, his body mass decreased, and facial features lost some masculinity (though this shows more now than it did on an already ambiguously-gendered five year old).

One day, Tora wishes to see his family again, even if he has to see them with his new identity and never reveal to them who he is. For now, however, he is willing to ignore them and get his revenge on those who kidnapped and sold him. Until he can be sure he won't be hounded by those who he believes would bring him harm, he is forced to live as Tora. He won't openly admit it, of course, but he really doesn't mind it at all, as he feels more comfortable to be himself as a girl.

Tora has a strong dislike of anyone who is average. He quickly loses interest in people if they're "boring" (what's boring changes a little bit over time, but not by much) and breaks off any type of relationship with them.

Having no way of getting home, no form of identification, and no money, Tora has been living in the streets of the city. He's gotten some assistance, and even stayed with an artist for a while (until they were evicted), where he got his shirt. Being young, it wasn't too hard for him to get food or money from people who felt sorry for him, especially when he told his story to them (leaving out that he was actually a boy, which worked, as his voice changed almost unnoticeably at puberty). Combined with an adorable Hanaanite accent, he could get almost anything from anyone who cared at all. Wanting to be self-sufficient, he almost always refuses to live with anyone.

Tora believes that fate is nothing but a fancy word for "unexplained cause and effect relationships", believing that everything happens as a result of something else. The belief to him seems far more structured than "Everything happens for a reason", "God works in mysterious ways", or any other similar statement. He does follow a system of beliefs that comes from his family and things he's seen: There is a Goddess, and her name is Maleol. She revels in chaos, but not openly; true chaos is silent and unexpected, but can be traced back to a set of actions. Maleol left the world when she tired of the predictability, and will return when silent chaos fills it. Tora sees himself as the one and only priest(ess) of Maleol, and must therefore act as such; the puppeteer of the great chaos. That isn't to say he's egotistical (as that would make people less likely to fall for his deception), just that he believes even the smallest action can snowball into a world war.

[b]Spells[/b]
[i]Boxcutter[/i]: As it sounds, it can cut through boxes or other soft materials like flesh, up to half an inch deep. The "blade" extends from his index finger like a cat's claw. The "blade" is invisible, but can be felt if touched from the side as a sort of dry, jelly-like tension.
[i]Seal[/i]: The exact opposite of boxcutter. Only rejoins the same material to itself, so wounds can be closed and cut cardboard returns to normal. The index finger has to touch the material to be sealed and trace the edges, like a zipper.
[i]Numb[/i]: Numbs pain. As it sounds. Lasts as long as Tora maintains it, but while he's maintaining it, he can't use any other spells.
[i]Refresh[/i]: Loosens dirt so it falls off of anything he wears. Removes stains not normally removable, as well. Also, leaves a fresh, clean smell after removing all other smells present.
