Aerithe's Character Page

Character's Name: Aerithe Lightsinger (Ae-ree-the)

Nicknames: Aeri

Age: 125

Gender: Female

Species: Eastern Dragon

Abilities: Aerithe commands control over the light element. She's gifted in the healing and defensive arts, but her spells can pack a punch when used offensively. She can create barriers as well as temporarily blind and stun opponents. Aerithe can also harden light into physical beams and projectiles, as well as heat it to cause burns. She's more prone to defensive tactics, favoring passive, nonviolent strategy. Her healing abilities can heal minor wounds and broken bones with little effort, but to heal major wounds is more taxing on her, eventually transferring the wounds onto herself.

While not particularly gifted in weapons or strength, Aerithe makes up for this in speed and magical ability. She is also intensely in tune with the world around her, and can sense subtle changes in weather due to the fluid filled gems on her body, which inform her of changes in atmospheric pressure. She can also survive off very little food, and her stamina in incredibly high. Aerithe can also hold her breath for long periods of time and dive deeply--her body can easily adjust to changes in pressure. She can use mindspeech in either form. 

Personality:

As the product of good breeding and upbringing, Aerithe still holds many of the regal qualities expected of the next chieftain of her tribe. She carries herself with proper posture and holds her head high. As such, Aerithe is diplomatic and tactful. She often thinks before speaking, though now away from her confinements she's finding herself lapsing more into freer speech than was ever allowed of her before. She's kind, gentle, and patient, perhaps even motherly in some cases. Aerithe tries for compromise and peaceable solutions. Her kind are not warring people, and she is no exception to that.

While having been uptight in the past, again due to the constraints of her position in the tribe, Aerithe is much looser and less rigid now, and her light sense of humor is surfacing. She does, however, command respect and common courtesy to be shown to her, and she will not hesitate to jab back with a quick retort or witty remark. The woman can bite back if pushed far enough.

Aerithe is incredibly humble. She's been living in isolation, and while she enjoys company, the newfound freedom and liberation of being on her own is rather exhilarating. Though she often finds herself longing for some form of companionship. Aerithe is social, and still coming into her own. When entertaining, she is incredibly hospitable and will go out of her way for guests. She's also reliable in a pinch.

She prefers to wander across the realm, and when kept in one place for too long she become fidgety, nervous, and even a little ill tempered.

Roleplay Sample:
 Altair decided he didn't care for this stranger. True, he'd saved Brianna, but there was no need for him to boss Altair around like he was a child. Gods, how annoying, between the bossy vampire and Aeris about to shapeshift in the , he was ready to call it a day and walk off. Yet he gave a nod and picked up Brianna's cloak and the scroll tube she'd been carrying. He turned to leave when a bloodcurdling yowl drew him back.

The touch on her shoulder was unwelcome. The sound that tore out of her throat wasn't human, the sound fueling the strength behind the blow of her claws. Don't touch me! Brianna wanted to scream, but instead it was more feral yowling as her claws raked across Aeris' face and neck. Behind it was all the anger she felt at the kitsune who rendered her helpless, and the anger at herself for being unable to fight back. Immediately she recoiled an arm's length away from him, crouched on the ground with her back arched and pupils reduced to slits so thin it was as though her eyes had none at all, with another throaty yowl warning him away.

The face of her attacker.

The monster.

As soon as the blood stopped roaring in her ears, Brianna returned to her senses. The skin Aeris had touched was still warm--almost hot even. Her eyes welled with tears as her pupils dilated, and she rose from her feral crouch to her feet, as unsteady as they were.

She wanted to spit out an apology. The words were there in her head, but everything else froze and came to a standstill. Her heart thudded in her chest and each breath in was a struggle, her lungs fighting against an invisible crushing force. Brianna wanted to disappear. Gods, she wanted to hide and pretend none of this had happened but they all saw it.
