Nightfury Kat — Roleplayer Guild

Ariel is one the tall side of average for a female - standing about 5'8. She has long black hair cut in layers that cascade in silky soft waves down to her midback and bangs that are left just long enough to curl under her chin and help frame her face if she wants; she usually leaves her hair down, or will braid her bangs and some hair toward the back on either side of her head to form a crown of braided hair that will then rest on top of the rest of her hair. She has a slender build and breasts that only look modest because of her petite frame. Her almond shaped eyes are a vibrant amethyst color, and she rarely uses make up except for a touch of lip gloss to help accentuate her perfect lips and a touch of eyeshadow/eyeliner to accent her eyes. She has fair skin, just tan enough to give her a healthy glow, and not a marring mark on it.
She is most commonly found wearing dresses or shirts that fit her upper body to her waist, then skirting that flows around her long legs. Most of her tops are monochromatic if they are not peasant tops, typically in pastels or off white colors; her skirts and dresses tend to be much the same way, with a focus on more sundress and “peasant top” style dresses than anything more flashy. Once rare to find her in pants, she has started wearing jeans and other, more comfortable pants, upon starting at Gringore in an effort to blend with the rest of the student body. She prefers flat strappy sandals, basic flats, and sneakers over over any kind of heeled shoe, feeling she is already tall enough.

Nickames/Alias/AKA:Ari - a nickname Jack and Nola have called her since she was a little girl.

Height and Build:5’8”  ;   lithe, barely healthy 135lbs

Other Appearance:She has a soft, melodious voice that can help her captivate someone’s attention - particularly when she sings. She tends to be shy, still react more than engage when spoken to. She likes to wear lots of necklaces and bracelets, charmed with various protections by Nola; one in particular is very dear to her - a silver locket with a picture of her and Maria and one of Jack and Naomi on the various sides, from when their two friends were still around.

History/bio:Training starts at an early age for them, taught alongside normal human educations though with a significant focus on their inherent arts. Taught to read and write the language of their inherited spells at the same time as learning to do the same for English, there was always a lot of pressure to excel. In addition to practicing with her magic, the girls were required to learn a musical instrument as was tradition in the coven and after going through several of the traditional instruments Ariel settled on violin, with which she was most comfortable. 

The death of their friend Naomi hit her rather hard, and she sank into a deep depression; she rarely spoke to anyone, save for Nola and Jack, and filled any free time with practicing her music or drawing. When Ria ran away, she stopped speaking altogether, despite the increase in attention Nola gave her. She had no clue the work Jack was doing in the shadows, so her parents’ death came as a surprise and a blessing. 

It was still another year or so after their death and Nola took the twins in before she would speak again. When Ariel did start talking again, it was very reserved and usually just response rather than engagement. She took the most convincing to agree to attend Gringore Academy, but agreed all the same.

Other/Extra:
She is fluent in English, Latin, and Gaelic. Recently took up learning ASL.

She plays the violin and loves to draw. She used to love to sing, but stopped when Naomi killed herself; she started singing again when she was seventeen, but only when alone (or she thinks she's alone.)

She assists in the Infirmary at Gringore, both because she is already quite familiar, and because it's a helpful distraction from just studying and otherwise trying to fill her time.
