Magic Specialization
Essence Thievery/Aura - Fiora drains anyone who makes physical contact with her of their life essence, converting it to physical and magical power. While not immediately fatal, she can drain someone to the point of death. The process can also be quite intimate, as she absorbs not only power but memories and emotions as well. She can channel this energy as magic empowering her punches and kicks, but is unable to channel this power more than a few metres away from herself.

Personality
Fiora is deceptive as a means of survival - her power ensuring that she must never draw attention to herself unnecessarily while ensuring she has a steady supply of life essence to feed on. She is very perceptive of people and observant of her surroundings, quick-witted and composed. She can be charming when she wants to but is often sarcastic and cold to others, but always blunt and brutally honest with her words. She does have a soft for the weak and oppressed, and an equally strong hatred for the powerful and rich. She likes singing and has a good voice, though she often uses it to draw in her next victim when she needs a quick drink of energy.

Abilities:
Fiora doesn't use weapons, instead choosing to fight with her natural weapon - her body. She is well-trained in most styles of hand-to-hand combat, and augments this with her magic. Her ability to drain energy from others provides her with superhuman speed and strength, enough to match even ferals, though it depends on how well fed she is. She is agile and nimble, allowing her to scale walls and navigate obstacles with ease while being virtually silent.

Background:
Fiora is the love child of a seraphim nobleman and her human mother. Her father was influential enough that the fact caused a huge scandal in the seraphim lands - enough to ensure her mother was exiled and forced to flee to Dumont. While her mother was given some coin in secret to live out her life in peace, it was hardly enough to raise Fiora alone in a land when an unmarried woman raising her own daughter was sure to be treated like scum - especially when her daughter carried seraphim blood. Matters only became worse when her abilities manifested. After the first time she nearly killed a boy she had been playing with, Fiora lived out the rest of her childhood alone and isolated. Any time she tried to find work or venture into the marketplace, she was chased away either by soldiers at spear point or by citizens with angry pitchforks. Her mother could never find work aside from scrubbing floors while Fiora lived sequestered away from public view.

Her mother passed a few years later, and Fiora resorted to stealing food and coin at night, befriending the thieves and sewer rats of the capital. Among the downtrodden and desperate, she found kindred spirits who didn't think of her power as a curse, but an asset. She felt useful for the first time in her life and continued this way for years - learning how to fight and how to stay anonymous. That was when she got her nickname of "Poison Ivy", when the citizens started talking about a woman who prowled around at night draining young men and women alike of their vitality and leaving them weak and bedridden for days, some even saying a succubus had been summoned by a cult and was plaguing them.

Extra Details:
Fiora starts glowing with a blue aura when she throws her power at full strength. She meditates to help keep her ability in check and keep her mind intact from any memory absorption.
