Name:Viola Rifei
Age:16
Appearance:Standing at four foot six and barely over 80lbs, and usually sporting a slightly mischievous, somewhat knowing seeming smirk, Viola is definitely not what one would call physically impressive. Slender, and lacking any sort of definite muscle. Her skin is free of any blemishes and markings of any kind. Her eyes are a dull grey color and sports black colored hair that falls well past her shoulders.
Clothing wise, she is a fan of rather complicated and somewhat eccentric and expensive dresses, preferring darker colors such as black, purple, and dark blue. Her current choice of attire is a black dress, with white accents and red bows that falls to her waist where it meets a pair of black stockings and dress shoes. Why she chose to wear those instead of something more suiting is anyone guess. Some assume she's simply the child of a wealthy family and takes very good care of herself and is quite the pampered little brat, and doesn't know any better. She comments she simply likes the style.
Talent:Summoning, the art of summoning mythical creatures to temporarily aid one.
Contracts, the art of binding a mythical beast to the will of the user and gaining temporary access to its abilities.
Grimoire Appearance: Viola's Grimoire is made of exquisite black leather, and is small enough to fit in her pocket. The spine has silver studs adorning it, and is clasped shut with silver locks. Embedded in the center of the book is an onyx gemstone. The book smells of aged leather and paper, and has a hint of age to the covers.
First Spells: Art of Summoning:
Summon Wind Sprite: "I call thee, Spirit of wind. Answer my summons..."
A simple spell. Summons a small fairy that can manipulate air currents and winds. Not too powerful at all, but everyone has to start somewhere. The wind sprite moves of its own accord, carrying out its orders as it sees fit. Incantation may change depending on creature summoned, and may not always be entirely loyal to the summoner.
Art of Contracts:
Viola is able to effectively bind certain creatures to her will. Some more easily than others, depending on certain characteristics they possess.
Affinity: Faerie Lore
Things that are typically considered to be of a family of Fae. Faeries, pixies, and those residents of the Fae Courts. She is able to communicate with them on some beginner level and press them into her service unless they require specific requirements to 'tame'.
Affinity: Incorporeal Beings
Ghost-like entities that may not entirely possess corporeal form. Ghosts, harmless poltergeists, and those creatures with an affinity for not strictly 'living'. Not necromancy, really, as she's not raising anything. Simply giving what is already existing a little more...direction. She is able to communicate with them in some manner.
There is a limit to how many she can control at a time, of course, and looking after many creatures might get a bit...exhausting. Once contracted, they are bound to the Grimoire and its owner. The mage is then capable of using their power at their leisure.
Personality:Viola...definitely does not behave the way her appearance might suggest. At first impression, she'd come off as incredibly formal and polite. Talk with her long enough though, and you'll find a somewhat self-centered, cynical, mischievous, somewhat playfully aggressive little girl who has a rather large seeming ego. However, this is just her attempting to be 'cute' or 'cheeky'. Truthfully, she doesn't take her own words to heart, and would never consider herself better than anyone.
Truthfully, she is fairly friendly and likes meeting people and being around people, and also simply likes watching them for...entertainment purposes. She'll be the first to say hello to someone, the first to speak up or attempt to diffuse a hostile situation and otherwise try and make light of things.
Another thing to note, would be an insatiable curiosity about anything and everything. History, technology...everything. While her physical skills are lacking, her academic studies and focus on such things will likely help greatly in the pursuit of magic.
However, like with everyone, she does have her own vices and sins. Hers, is curiosity and a lust and love of all knowledge, and her rather cynical and logical outlook on life and people, despite her seeming playfulness. She, would do anything for the sake of knowledge, and her curiosity drives her to meddle in quite a number of affairs, especially ones that offer the most entertainment value. For the most part, they are likely to be harmless...but perhaps, it could get everyone into trouble one day. Above all though, her desire is simple: Power.
History:Viola's past isn't that remarkable, really. Born as the sole child to a middle class family in France. Utterly normal. Nothing to complain about. Nothing at all. She went to a normal school. Had normal friends, a normal life. It was a good life, really. Loving parents, friends, family. Even so, Viola herself couldn't help but to feel...well, nothing. Utter boredom, really. She spent her days reading books, studying, looking up myths, legends, and other such things on the internet. She even went to a witch coven once just for the lulz to see how it was. Aside from being completely disappointed, she didn't achieve anything nor alleviate her boredom.
Her life continued this way until she was around fifteen.
Now, she had always had a healthy bit of skepticism about supernatural things. But one night after taking a walk through town she stumbled across something that shouldn't be. A small hint of something otherworldly. For the first time in her life, Viola felt
excited. Like a gaping hole in her heart had been filled and had been replaced by one thing: A burning desire. Without a word to her parents or friends, she left, taking as much money as she could and following these scant clues until she stumbled across a run down shop, where the clues seemed to be leading her...
