Name: Alice
Age: 25
Appearance:
Alice is short, barely reaching over 5' tall. She tends to dress in earthy colors because she feels that the colors make her amber colored eyes blend in a little better. Her hair curls over her shoulders and reaches almost to the middle of her back and she almost always leaves it down. Often, flowers can be found woven into it.
Personality:
- Highly distractable, losing attention over the smallest (but shiniest!) of objects. Sometimes it causes her to forget what she was doing altogether.
- Sometimes she can act very much like a child trapped in an adult body. She has an addiction to sugary foods, likes to take time to play.
- She does not share well, having a very possesive streak to her, hoarding all of the shiny things she manages to find and can viably claim as hers to herself.
- Has a rather sadly innocent naieve side to her, blindly trusting those around her and that everything will turn out fine. She has a hard time believing that there is true evil in the world.
- Luck is probably the only thing that has kept her from falling prey to the awful people and things that happen to people in the world. She seems to be flush with it, lucking out of the worst of situations in a nearly unbelievable way.
- Very gullible. Is quite likely to believe that the sky is made out of the cotton part of cotton candy if the story is pitched to her in a convincing enough manner.
- While lacking in common sense, she is quite bright... or at least bright enough to be perfectly capable of following instructions and conversation.
- She has a hard time waiting to do anything, viewing the world with a very "right now" kind of impatience and she can get more than a little antsy and obnoxious if she does get held up.
-She does her best to find the positive side of all situations, optimistic even in the hardest of moments. She will always be the one offering up the "well at least we have" comments.
Origin:
Alice was raised in a little village in Lella called Julep. She was raised by her elder sister and her mother. Her father passed when she was at a young age. Her mother all but pushed Alice out on her own she when reached 17, feeling that the girl wasn't growing up and needed to see the world. Since she was pushed out, Alice has been travelling Lella, seeking adventure and entertainment. When neither can be found and money is needed, she makes a decent bar maid. It is not completely unusual for her to do favors for others in exchange for money.
Spells:
Luna's Kiss - Calls a beam of light to the one whom the caster is targeting, sweeping over the body of the person/animal. The light heals the target, mending the wounds in minutes or hours instead of days. This is not a quick spell for anything other than light scrapes and bruises, the major wounds sometimes taking so much time and energy from the caster that the wounds do not fully heal. Can not cure death. It is very difficult for the caster to cast on themselves for anything more serious than a sprain, headache, or minor broken bones. This spell is stronger and requires less energy after the sun sets and darkness sets in.
Alice requested to be taught this skill after her mother healed the arm her sister broke, falling from a tree, in front of her. She wanted to be able to heal those around her faster. She has never used it for anything other than minor scrapes and bruises so she is not confident in her ability to cast it if ever there is a dire need."
Bubble Mist - Not a fighting ability, merely a mild and slightly damp spray of bubbles. With practice and focus, the bubbles can be blown in specific color. The spell takes little energy and, unless one is inexperienced or are hoping for very specific results, it does not require much for concentration. The bubbles will naturally pop after a while, although they do last longer than non-magical ones.
Alice was taught this ability by a friend of her sisters when she was a little girl in an attempt to get the girl to concentrate. She has all but perfected her casting of it, seemingly emanating bubbles in colors according to her moods when she is trying to concentrate, like second nature. It earned her the nickname of "Bubbles" from many in her village, as she could almost always be seen surrounded by them. A nickname she is not fond of or likely to announce.
Earthen Sheild - Pulls the ground around the caster, on whatever side his/her hand is aimed, pulling up a sheild that covers one quarter of the space around them, shaping itself around the target as the caster wishes. The sheild will appear as the land, appearing almost in natural in formation, and can block mid-level offensive spells but will crumble around the caster from the more powerful of blows. The more concentration that goes into the spell, the more realistic and unnoticeable the sheild. The sheild crumbles at the same rate as the concentration wavers..
This skill was shown to her and taught to her by some of the older boys from her village and was used mostly for games by the kids and is therefore common in that area. Alice sometimes forgets that she even knows it.
Glamour of Light - A spell used to transform the face, hair, and sometimes body of the caster or the target of the caster. Can be used for as little as changing the color of ones eyebrows to transforming themselves into another. The more that the caster changes, the less time the spell can be held. A full glamour has never been known to last more than five hours, taking the caster a whole 48 hours to recover enough to cast even a glimmer of the glamour again. The little ones can last for days at a time, taking a day or two for a full recovery. The more detailed and unfamiliar the glamour, the less time it lasts. Can not be used to make the caster appear as a full animal, although those who try can once and a while cause a "furry" (furred skin, tail, ears and the occasional paws) appearance.
Learned as a young girl from a book she found in her home, with a little help from her mother. She used it during games or just to amuse herself. She became quite talented at the "furry" look before becoming a teen when she simply used it to color her hair or change the appearance of her clothes.
