AristaAnja Belanger
aka Feather
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Major: Thief
Classification: Monster
Physical Appearance:
Anja stands at 5'7", her body slim and strong from training, and carries herself with a grace befitting royalty. Her hair is light brown and slightly wavy, her eyes a clear blue, and her skin pale and dotted with freckles. She dresses in clothes that are well-made and pretty, but doesn't like to use them to scream that she has money. Delicate, flowy blouses worn above stretchy leggings and boots are a favorite.
She has a tattoo on the inside of her left forearm, a colorful feather with a small bird flying away. In addition to that one, just below her right temple on the side of her head is a small tattoo, no larger than an inch, of a simple key and keyhole.
Personality:
Pleasant. Always smiling, always open to conversation, Anja will strike people as a friendly girl who just likes to chat it up. She would be the one to knock on the new neighbor's door with a tray of cookies and a few choice pieces of gossip, soon drawing out your history—where you lived before, your hobbies, facts about your family, and so on.
She chose not to major as an information broker, but she understands the importance of picking up secrets to use when needed, and behind those smiling eyes is a calculating mind. Isn't learning secrets another form of stealing? She'll tailor her words to the person, trying to get you right where she needs you. Though she won't hesitate to take control in more serious situations, she believes that brute force won't get you everywhere.
Of course, occasionally the facade will slip, and sometimes Anja can be caught with a blank expression and empty eyes. Drained.
Bio:
Anja began her life of thievery young. Growing up in a poor family, her parents could afford to buy her and her sister the necessary items, but not the "cool" ones—such as the trending clothes and new tech. Thus she began shoplifting, starting with smaller items and working her way up to more expensive ones by the time she was 15.
Until she got caught. Not by a store worker, but by a boy whose intention in the store had also been to steal. He offered an alliance, and that began their partnership. They went beyond merely shoplifting, their crimes getting larger, and Anja's intent was no longer solely to steal things for her and her sister.
However, their partnership fell apart less than two years later, and she began working alone. It was then that she began to leave behind a single feather as she left the scene of crime, marking each one as hers.
A few months later, wanting to further her skills, she applied for the Academy.
Powers:
Slippery Soul - This is a sort of transformation, where she can become part of any living creature, including insects. She can basically slide her soul out of her body and into another of her choosing (but not a human one). While in another's body, she will be affected to different extents by the animal's instincts, such as urges to hunt, fight, be territorial, etc. However, the drawback of this is that she leaves her human body behind completely defenseless.
Energy Siphon - Her magic can latch onto another person, allowing her to slowly suck their life energy from them and into herself. This causes the victim to feel increasingly lethargic and weak. She drains at a slow enough pace that she is unable to cause a quick death, but if she were to continue this for an extended time, she could eventually kill a person. With more focus she can apply this siphon to other people's magic, but will be unable to use what she siphons. In fact, this will slowly tire her.
Mundane Skills:
- Lockpicking and breaking into safes
- Basic hand to hand combat knowledge, plus a specialty in dagger usage
- Took an acrobatic course and is generally agile
Equipment:
- Lockpicking equipment
- Set of three high quality daggers, plus less expensive backups
Other: For a few months leading up to her entrance into the Academy, reports would have begun of her burglaries. She's not famous, but it's possible that some may have heard of her.
