NAME: Lyzza-Linn Nerefiini
AGE: 24
GENDER: Female
SPECIES: Half-Reial
APPEARANCE: Lyzza’s romany background is purely displayed through her appearance. Being moderately short, at only 5’10”, Lyzza has a baked, medium sienna tone to her skin. Her hair is extremely dark in color, appearing almost black except in the right angles and shades of light, and, even then, still looking to be very intense brown. It is also rather long, falling to her mid back, as well as curly and frizzy, which can look like a rat’s nest if left unkempt for too long. Often, she can be seen wearing various bandanas on her head (usually shades of red, brown, or green), as not only is it a style she prefers, but it also helps control her hair.
As a half-Reial, Lyzza does show signs of her Reial blood. Her pupils are 4-pointed stars in the shape of an X (unlike the pure-blooded 5-star pupils), and as green as the emerald pendants that dangle from the gold necklace she wears (along with a plethora of other necklaces and charms frequently seen on her neck). The Reial blood has also morphed her ears, the top curl of her ear being more open and slightly pointed. From her ears are a number of earrings in various places. She has 2 large, golden hoops from the center of each earlobe, and various other jeweled rings; 3 from her left (2 above the large one and one in the top) and 4 in her right (2 above the large and a ruby stud next to an ear cuff).
Naturally, Lyzza has a toned body, mostly from her clan’s arduous travel from village to village, all their belongings in tow. This is somewhat displayed through her choice of clothing, which is composed of colorful fabrics and materials sewn together. The top is designed like a low-cut, ecru peasant blouse that is tied off just under her chest. The color fades to more of a beige color on the sleeves (and other borders), which sit low on her shoulders and loosely fall just below her elbow. All of the borders are in a leather-brown fabric that blends well with the other browns.
On each wrist, she wears 2, very simple golden bangles; on her left hand, she wears an emerald ring on her index finger and a simple gold band on her pinky; on her right hand, she wears a ruby and diamond decorated ring on her middle finger. With most of Lyzza’s torso exposed, she has a navel piercing that dangles gracefully from a jeweled ring in fine, golden threads.
As for her pants, Lyzza wears 3 simple layers. The first is a mid-calf length skirt that is crimson red near the waist and fades to a cherry or rose color near the bottom, and is bordered by the same brown material as on the top. The skirt is flowing and open, allowing plenty of movement and grace with every step. And with each of those steps, her second layer comes into play: a semi-opaque, black material with small metal coins and bells sewn onto the edge that make subtle jingles as she moves. It is folded in half and tied on her left hip. Over top of that is an ecru sash that is also tied off on her left. This sash is used to hold up a small satchel on her right that she carries a number of items in, including a full stash of mint leaves, which she has a habit of chewing on a regular basis. Also kept inside are a tarot deck and a set of zils, which she uses when meditating or performing, as well as a tambourine, which is tied to the sash, just behind the satchel.
Finally, Lyzza wears a golden charm anklet on her left ankle and a pair of beige slipper-like shoes with a very thin sole; a simple, more cloth-like moccasin.
PERSONALITY: To Be Edited...
ALLIANCE: Common Folk
INFERICUS/NATURAL: ...N/A...?
WEAPON: Lyzza’s ‘weapon’ is known to her as Asteres, as she claims the name was told to her by the spirits that inhabit the ball. Uniquely, Asteres has properties much like liquid mercury or a bubble, in that it can be divided into smaller, more manageable parts and recombined into a single, large orb through mei-cha. During these states of meditation, Lyzza can connect fine strings of energy to each orb, which she controls like a marionette. She carries Asteres in a burgundy sash that she slings over her shoulders.
Lyzza also owns a dagger which she keeps hidden in her blouse. She usually uses it for daily chores, but can be used as an effective weapon in dire situations.
HISTORY: Born into the life of the romany, Lyzza has lived the way of the gypsies and has seen almost every village and corner of the world because of it. Her mother was a Reial and her father, a human, but she’s still loved all the same by her entire clan. Her father’s life, unfortunately, was taken before she was old enough to remember him, only being 2 at the time, and has never known the cause for her father’s death through her entire lifetime.
Ever since her childhood, she had a talent for ‘speaking with the Ancients’ and was taught how to gaze into crystal balls by her grandmother. Her mother also trained her in reading tarot cards and the stars, giving her a firm base in astrology. Also obtained from both her grandmother and mother was a strange taste for mint leaves, almost like an addiction to tobacco.
For many years, her mystifying beauty has proved as a valuable asset to her clan’s performances and appearances across the world, but it was only recently that they have returned to the region reigned by King Dandis in nearly 10 years...
OTHER: *snickers evilly* I have plans... Oh yes, wonderful plans...
MAGICK RANK: Expert
MAGICK SPELLS: 2 weak + 2 medium + 1 powerful
Name: Luna
Class: Arcane
Power: Weak
Description: A dark mist swirls inside the center of Asteres and blurs into an image of the target’s memories and thoughts. Under some circumstances, it can be used as a minor thought influence, but can be easily overcome by determination or cases of single-mindedness.
Name: Saturnus
Class: White
Power: Weak
Description: Any magic or spell that approaches Asteres while this spell is cast upon it is completely absorbed and neutralized within the purifying power of its quartz composition. The ball can only withhold so many spells before it must be cleansed by Lyzza herself.
Name: Neptunus
Class: White
Power: Medium
Description: Any spell that is absorbed into the ball with Asteres can be released back into the environment uncontrollably, using the malice of the initial attack to act as fractures in the crystal that glints the attack in all directions, like an oddly cracked or angled prism.
Name: Pluto
Class: Arcane
Power: Medium
Description: In its partially divided form, Asteres is launched at the enemy like two large, magnetic orbs spiraling around each other. Anything caught between the two can be temporarily immobilized by the pressures of gravity and magnetism, as if caught in the polarity and pressure of two planets orbiting each other.
Name: Mars
Class: White
Power: Powerful
Description: In its fully divided form, Asteres spreads out, each sphere shining a light. If a spell or attack comes in contact with any of the light, it is reflected directly back at the opponent, like a translucent mirror. This shell can be moved at will, but leaves many openings for other attacks.
Sorry about the current lack of her Personality, but I just wanted to get this up so that it's here and ready for quick completion. I should have the final touches added in by the end of the day. Hope you enjoy!
