ＮＡＭＥIllianna A'hn Poole, but she is generally introduced as and called by her nickname "Sulli".
ＡＧＥ21.
ＧＥＮＤＥＲFemale.
ＰＬＡＣＥ ＯＦ ＯＲＩＧＩＮLeannán originally, but moved to live with her mother on the island of Balla Mór some years before her father was killed. Balla Mór resides just on the outskirts of the Archipelago(nearest to Baleine), and is distinctly known for the excessively large wall that encompasses the main and only city of the island. The city is completely surrounded by a vast ocean and floating on a small plot of land on the opposite end of the vast ocean is the Dia Vanille Cathedral. The official language of Balla Mór is Teriques, but obviously Pelagian(Commons) is known by nearly all the residents as well, though this is mostly only used for trade or business. The island experiences rain frequently.
ＡＰＰＥＡＲＡＮＣＥTo be honest, it's hard not to notice Sulli. Her most distinctive quality is her long curly two-toned hair, its texture soft and bouncy, swaying with the breezes of the wind as though moving to the beat of its own dance. Due to the extravagance of her hair, one would think there were magical properties imbued within it. Its very distinguishable to say the least. She almost always wears her ocean blue headband to help manage and stylize her naturally wild hair.
Expressive golden eyes help to accentuate her already feminine features, with straight eyebrows, creamy brown skin, kissable full lips, high cheekbones, and a cute flat nose. She is often underestimated or sought after because of her exotic beauty. Thin and willowy like a rose, she is actually somewhat tall, standing at about 5'7. Her legs are long, helping to accentuate her already doll like physique.
She often wears summery garbs, some shoulder-less, revealing the runic circles on the back of her neck before disappearing as they trail down her back. Other times, she wears clothes that completely cover her form, and a peculiar cloak that resembles a handcrafted quilt. Sulli tends to like wrapping ribbons around her forearms and legs. She has a birthmark in the shape of a quatrefoil on the side her neck and on occassion will wear a pair of simple golden hoops in her ear lobes. She has a habit of walking around barefoot on deck.
ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹSulli could aptly be described as bright, quirky, dreamy, and perhaps even aloof(at first glance). While not completely inaccurate on the last count, this sense of initial detachment from those around her is more due to inquisitive glares and contemplative silences, broken only by the most left-field of questions. ("You hear them too, don't you?" she might say) Despite her bizarre colloquialisms, those who can focus her find her to be a gifted conversationalist and tireless listener, a suddenly cheerful disposition that is transcendent and infectious. Her sweet mannerisms often bring out the softer side in others and it is hard to stay mad at her for long.
Sulli is the type of woman who never gets bored and can always find something to occupy her time. She fears very little and does her best to be helpful and attentive to the needs of others. But she wonders about things so often that she can sometimes lose track of her current goal, and must be kept from going wayward by her friends and companions. She has a poetic, romantic way of speaking and a strange curiosity about the world that can borderline become annoying when she frequently ask questions.
However, she is the type of girl who is steadfast and attentive, with a keen sense of self and what she believes in. Though generally acquiescent to her superiors, she can be incredibly stubborn and vocal when she disagrees with something. She is like an panorama, always changing and moving, and willing to make new experiences. She has an electric vitality that is glowing and alive, and she will usually try something new at least once, twice if she enjoyed it. And she loves to sing and dance for herself, and for others.
There is a certain naive purity, loyalty, and innocence about her, unbiased about the world and evils that reside within it. She doesn't allow others to make judgement calls for her and has a complex about those who underestimate her because she is a girl. You'll never really find her repeating the same thing day by day. It's always a new experience for her to learn and grow and discover all that the world has to offer. Although, she is known for sometimes having incoherent thoughts when she becomes enthralled, and her memory isn't always the most reliable, which can give off the appearance that she is a bit starry-eyed and odd. It is safe to say that she is a bit incomprehensible.
ＳＫＩＬＬＳＥＴ● Arcane Magic with a specialization in Telekinesis: It must be nice to come from a relatively well-off family. To be able to afford top quality magical training at the Erasmus d'Aurevilly University. It came in handy. Though she knows the common magical skills of a university mage, what she came to specialize in(as most university mages often have a specialization) was telekinetic magic, a form of magic that allows a mage to move objects with their mind so as long as they remain focused.
The runic circles that trail down her back glow when she activates her magic, but this form of magic in particular uses an excess of energy from the mind that most other magics doesn't require. Using this form of magic for prolonged periods of time can cause incredible mental strain, with overuse causing incapacitation.
● Quick to Catch On: Don't underestimate her ability to learn and comprehend. With an insatiable appetite for knowledge, she is quick to catch on and learn new skills. Like a sponge, she can absorb just about anything the world has to offer. Prepare to be surpassed if you are not careful. She is not obtuse like some may perceive her to be.
● Songstress: With the voice of an angel, she is an immaculate singer with a soprano vocal range. Something about her ethereal voice resonates with those around her, and someone even joked that her voice could bring grown men to their knees. She often uplifts the moral of the crew with staged performances, and can be often be found humming. One can generally hear her angelic song echoing through the corridors. However, her talent may not appeal to everyone, as some might find her frequent indiscriminate singing to be annoying.
ＷＥＡＫＮＥＳＳ● Hand-to-hand Combat: She has yet to develop this skill, and therefore, is lacking when it comes to up close and personal combat. She generally relies on her magic to combat others, but that isn't going to always be an option, which can leave her somewhat vulnerable.
● Naivete: Sulli has a subtle purity about her, a steadfast loyalty to those she trust and a penchant for giving others the benefit of the doubt even when they probably don't deserve it. Though not fool, she can sometimes be a poor judge of character, which makes her a bit more vulnerable to manipulation than others and a bit too forgiving.
ＨＩＳＴＯＲＹAs a young child, Sulli had always been a handful. Never afraid like most children were, and always trying to run off to explore and discover something new, her father found it difficult to keep tabs on her while trying to make a living to support them. Yurian A'hn Poole, her father, worked as a agriculturist for Leannán, using his knowledge of the land to help maintain and preserve its health and sustainability for the island. Life on the vast farmlands was actually quite simple and peaceful for a while, until famine struck that is and the stability of the island became unsteady. Uncertain of the future conditions of the island and fearing for his daughters well-being, Yurian regrettably sent Sulli to live with her mother on the island of Balla Mór, an island that resided just on the outskirts of the Archipelago and Baleine.
Sulli's mother, Celeste, was a famously beautiful mage, often called upon for her specialization in love magic. Having helped put together many high profile clients, Celeste made quite a healthy fortune for herself and, unwilling to part from her socialite and generally lavish way of life, sent her young daughter off to Erasmus d'Aurevilly University. Though she was initially very popular with both her male and female peers, rumors spread quickly throughout the school after she enrolled, word going around that Sulli's mother was the reason some of their parents separated or got divorced. The disdain for her unfurled like wildfire and she was eventually shunned out of fear that their parents would somehow be the next ones to divorce if they got anywhere near her. Without anyone to truly socialize with, Sulli spent much of her time excelling in her magical studies, eventually going through numerous boyfriends as she got older and at some point being deemed a poor judge of character by her female peers.
She had always been a bright and electric young girl, romantic at heart, poetic, and probably forgiving to a fault. Due to the fact that she had several boyfriends throughout her time there, many of whom were no good, some began proclaiming Sulli to be easy and simple. Frustrated and feeling isolated, Sulli sent letters to her father everyday, discussing of the hardships that the other students were causing her and finding just a little reprieve when he would reassure her that everything would be okay. Unfortunately, her father had been killed in a pirate raid of the ship he was taking on his way to visit her. Devastated and heartbroken, she focused on her studies more than ever, eventually delving so deep into the tiny crevices of the library, that she eventually came across the legend of a magical object that allowed a mage to travel back in time. The object had never been found after it's initial use centuries ago, but archaeologist and artificer Matthias Morgus, detailed the legend of the object he believed resided under the clouds in his book, 'Of Legends or Of Magic?'.
If Matthias Morgus was certain of its existence, then maybe, it really did exist. But Sulli knew the possibility of her ever finding it, even if it did exist, was slim to none. Still, with her heart aching, and her mind falling into a darkness she had never felt before, Sulli put her entire essence into her magical studies. So much so, that she became one of the top students of her class, and eventually garnering attention amongst the student body and the school board for her unique specialization in Telekinetic magic, one of the most mentally strenuous magics in existence and one of the hardest to learn. However, the versatility of this magic is invaluable, making it an asset for anyone who could find a mage with skill in its usage.
Insert Madame Le Fèvre. On the day that a special letter with a unique crest suddenly arrived at the school, everything changed. When an announcement was made by the university headmaster that a very powerful woman was looking to recruit individuals for an expedition under the clouds, Sulli felt she had no choice but to apply. And luckily, it seemed this Madam understood the value of Sulli's magical capabilities. And Sulli's high ranking in her class probably helped her get accepted as well. But without a doubt, this would be one of the, if not the most grand exploration of a life time. An exploration below the clouds. Could this be destiny leading her below the surface?
Father...wait for me...
ＡＭＢＩＴＩＯＮＳSupposedly, there is a material magic that allows one to travel back in time. Sulli's father died several years ago when the ship he was on was obstructed and beset by pirates. Her father had been on his way to visit her at the Erasmus d'Aurevilly University. Sulli wants to uncover this legendary magical object to go back in time to prevent her father from dying.
ＩＮＶＥＮＴＯＲＹ● Ribbons, she often wraps these around her forearms and legs, and when she is focusing on a particular task, she ties her hair up with one into a puffy-curly ponytail.
● Ocarina, a flute like instrument she uses when she doesn't feel like singing.
● Guitar, for when she doesn't feel like playing the Ocarina. She sometimes sings and plays the Guitar at the same time for her shipmates or whenever she feels inspired.
●
Magic Oil Lamp, though there is no genie inside, this oil lamp can actually capture her memories and dreams, allowing her to recall them at a later time, or completely release them(as a blue smoke) from her mind all together. Sulli has suffered from reoccurring nightmares since she was a child, so she had been using this object to dispel the memories of those nightmares from her mind. This is a very special object to her, a keep-sake from her late father. Unfortunately, the magic in the object ran out a year ago, so it seems she has to find an alternative method to resolve her issues.
● Countless journals for note taking and books, loads of books.
