This sounds really fun! I'll give my CS a shot. I hope alchemy and herbology are acceptable fields.
Caste: Bright
Name: Odilia Holt
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: Odilia cares little for her appearance, and would often go through days without touching a comb to her hair. Her chestnut waves maintain an inch of distance from the height of her narrow shoulders. She is diminutive and delicate in stature, having almost never experienced a minute of strenuous physical exercise in her entire life (with no desire to change anytime soon). Hazel eyes hide behind large, oval spectacles that often threaten to slip off the bridge of her nose.
Personality: "If the best is what you want to be, then the best you must be." Odilia accepts nothing short of perfection in her work – After all, should something go awry in the creation of potions and poultices, the end-product may have undesired, if not fatal, results. Having spent most of her life behind tomes and among alchemical flora, many would call Odilia's conversations with her plants eccentric. Although, on the other hand, perhaps equally as many would call her perfectionist temperament arrogant. As her personality limits her circle of friends, Odilia cherishes what few close ones she has dearly, and is incredibly generous and giving to these few people. Odilia desires stability and certainty, and there is nothing more consistent than the science and magic of alchemy and herbology – But there is nothing more unmethodical and unpredictable than other fellow humans.
Spellbook:
1. Purifica - Not all herbs are ready-to-use! For example, in creating the perfect protection poultice, the purest anise, rose, and rosemary extracts need to be used. Purifica is a spell that extracts these essence from the herbs. Well-practiced users of this spell can extract more, purer concentrate from the vegetation of choice. This spell is especially important in concocting the high-shelf health potions, as the purest extracts are often the most expensive.
2. Metatre - The bread-and-butter spell of alchemy. This spell transforms an object into another object given that its mass does not change (Additional magic and ingredients can allow one to break away from this rule!). The better control one has over this spell, the more accurate the transformation becomes.
3. Frigida Fraguntur - Flash freeze. The better the mastery, the snappier the drop in temperature. Vital in preservation of ingredients and specimina.
4. Anatypxi - Encourages the synthetic, but magically-driven, growth of any living creature. Often used on plants, certain fruits are only beneficial when given a touch of magic. Generally, the more sought-after poultices or potions require the use of this spell on at least one of its ingredients. This spell is generally discouraged to be used on animals, especially due to the gradual and almost precise stages of growth that most animals undergo before maturation.
Inventory: To supplement her lacking offensive capabilities, she carries a wand, as they are space-saving for her satchel that contains the chaotic mess of tiny sacks of herbs, various seemingly unrelated objects she picks up from the ground (leaves, bottle caps, scratched-off coin...), a small journal and a half-closed coinpurse.
Clothing: Odilia's clothing allow the freedom of movement for when she scavenges the wilderness for ingredients. She wears light, as she lacks the strength and endurance to carry armor. She rests the strap of her old satchel over her left shoulder and the weight upon her right hip. She favors pastel colors.
Other: Odilia strives to become the greatest, if not well-known, alchemist and herbalist in Mythria. She sets out to prove alchemical legends (such as turning lead into gold, Panacea, and Ambrosia) are, in fact, real. Odilia's mentor is just as, if not more, reclusive. An experienced but cynical herbalist who prefers to live in deep forests (for their richness in faunal and floral components), Odilia consequently received mediocre examples of proper social etiquette.
