Name: Jessica Sullivan
Screen name: (Originally Mystic Ivy) Currently Saintly Ivy
Age: 16
Appearance: (Words work, as does a picture. If you use a picture, place it at the top of the sheet)
Nationality: America
Personality: Enjoys caring for others and is always ready to make you a warm meal, quick to comfort others, but at the same time she will scold those she feels out of line and can come across as domineering. She does not like admitting she is wrong. Her take on protecting people is just that, invisible defenders, they should do their best to avoid revealing themselves but the protection of others comes first.
Biography: Born into a well off family, her parents raised her to be a well-mannered young lady. When they would go out to parties and donate large amounts of money to charities, she would give her spare money to strangers and cook for her friends. Sure she could have had others to cook it for her, but she enjoyed the act of cooking herself.
She was also well educated. Her parents could easily afford to send her to a private school and supplement her education with tutors. This left her with an education far exceeding that of a public school, but at the same time, so certain of her knowledge that she often refuses to admit she is wrong until shown solid evidence that she is wrong.
Adding to her education and upbringing her parents forced fencing and violin onto her, claiming hobbies would make her more "well rounded," well, one of these would make her experience as a magical girl easier, the other would just be good for entertaining. She also practiced gymnastics of her own volition, helping increase her flexibility and agility and keeps her own portion of the garden as her own, declaring that she would care for it herself
When she was twelve, she had left her house to spend time with her friends. One of them, Olivia, wandered off from the group and Jessica left the others to go find her. In an alley, she was attacked by a large creature. It looked more metal than flesh with rending metal claws and gnashing jaws of half metal and half teeth. Her rescuer swooped down and killed the beast. It was over in an instant. She barely even recalled looking at her savior, having no real recollection of the events or her appearance. She recalls the girl touching her and feeling a light, then she was gone. Jessica and her friends never found Olivia. The police investigation never turned up any leads and so Olivia vanished from their lives.
Jessica decided to try and fight back against those creatures that had attacked her and most likely killed her friend, in order to protect others. She somehow knew about her new abilities, perhaps something her savior had said that she couldn't quite remember.
Despite herself, she had trouble finding more of the monsters to fight, and the few she did, she couldn't quite defeat being forced to retreat, her fencing skills and sword proving inadequate to defeat them. In time she was taken under the wing of another, Claudette.
During her time under Claudette, Jessica learned how to use her newfound power to defeat the errors, and eventually discovered her ability to control the growth and form of plants. Claudette told to try and fashion the plants into a weapon, but it proved difficult and inefficient as a sword, a club was unwieldy and barbaric, so she settled on a whip made from a rose. After a lot of trial and error and just as many bandages, Jessica had a weapon fit to use against the errors.
When Jessica was 15, Claudette moved on, mostly because of the smaller number of errors appearing in the city. In that time, however, Jessica had learned how to strengthen her rose whip, so that it wouldn't break or be cut when striking metal or struck by something sharp, as well as enhancing her plant growth powers so that she could greatly enhance the speed with which a plant would sprout to full size, as well as grow just about anywhere, digging through concrete and metal to reach soil, even as a seed.
Now, she's managed to talk her parents into letting her attend her final years of school, overseas, in Italy. Even in Europe, she her parents will send her money whenever she needs(but surely even this will have limits if she presses too hard).
Experience Level: Veteran
Skills: Fencing, gardening, cooking, athletic/gymnast, a plethora of useless trivia about various fictional series(including some magical girl anime), Exotic Weapons(Whips)
Magical Power:
Plant Manipulation(First Act): Allows Jessica to control the growth speed and pose plants, to an extent. This skill has almost no combat use without a little creativity.
Rose Whip(First Act): Expanding on her Plant Manipulation, Jessica is able to craft certain melee weapons from plants, her favorite being the rose whip, which is basically and elongated and flexible rose stem, covered in thorns and enhanced by her magic, it causes deep cuts. It can be retracted back into a normal rose.
Plant Manipulation Mk2(Second Act): Through use of her powers and practice, Jessica has unlocked further power and control over it, allowing her to almost instantly sprout a tree from a seed or use a vine as a weapon with which to grab and bind her opponent(as just a couple examples). She now carries seeds with her to use to sprout her plants, that can now grow in any terrain, provided they can still reach the soil below it, sometimes quite difficult in cities. This also allows her to redirect her rose whip, mid attack, however it causes a loss in momentum, and thus attack damage.
