[quote]Here is my finished cs. I went with a girl since they seem to be the minority. Her appearance is mainly based off of [url=https://www.google.com/search?q=lupita+nyong%27o&safe=off&rlz=1C1TSNO_enUS474US474&espv=2&source=lnms&sa=X&ei=FrSiU7yqFtOOyAT5goDYCA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&biw=1366&bih=643&dpr=1]Lupita Nyong’o[/url] and [url=https://www.google.com/search?q=samira+washington&safe=off&rlz=1C1TSNO_enUS474US474&espv=2&source=lnms&sa=X&ei=CLSiU7GzHI-0yASJxoDADA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&biw=1366&bih=643&dpr=1]Samira Washington[/url]. I hope you don’t mind her history. I know there are no forests, but I figured cities still have parks/lots/fields.

[hider=my cs]Name: Thema.

Age: Nineteen.

Element: Flora.

Appearance: Thema is a beautiful girl with skin the color of dark chocolate and thick, succulent lips. She is of average height and keeps her curly hair cut short. Her brown eyes and long eyelashes are typically hidden beneath the shadow of a cowl she wears. She prefers to blend in rather than stand out, so she does her best to cover any unique qualities she bears. Her many layers of clothing cover most of her body, protecting her from most outside forces. Her boots have many scuffs, her tunic has tears, and her leather belt is worn out, but Thema gladly places comfort and protection over something as trivial as appearance.

Personality: Thema has never been one for decadency. She takes what she needs; no less, no more. Her blunt demeanor typically gets her what she desires from most merchants, except for a few who barter too much for her liking. She is very self-sufficient and makes use of what she has. While she appears indifferent towards most things, there are rare instances where fiery passion erupts from her core. Her emotions are unmanaged due to her years of solitude and sometimes escape, showing her true colors. But for the most part, she is as stoical as she appears. Most importantly, Thema is no longer afraid to be alone because she is no longer alone. She has friends all around and they will fight to protect her at all costs.

History: Just like many children born to this era, Thema was abandoned to a shelter at a young age. The shelter was overpopulated and was nearly impossible for the staff to care for every child. Luckily, Thema was very tolerant of their neglect for responsibility and actually preferred being left alone. It was on one of those nights where she had been alone that she discovered her powers.

While traversing through the town, a nearly empty alleyway beckoned for Thema. As she walked down the alley, the people that took refuge there stared her down. Increasing her pace, she made it to the end, where the alley opened up to a grassy field that was overgrown with weeds. Towards the end, a greenhouse that had been abandoned was overgrown with plant life. It seemed as though the plants moved with Thema. Buds bloomed and vines coiled as she rummaged through the shack, but a loud noise indicated the presence of another being. A man had followed her and planned to do unspeakable things to the young girl. As she cowered in fear, the plants came alive, twisting around his limbs and constricting his movement. Thema was in utter shock, unable to comprehend what was happening. As the vines untangled, the beggar ran off. That was the first experience Thema had with her powers.

Thema now lives in that greenhouse, making a living off of pickpocketing and thieving the public. The plants protect her from harm, healing not only her body, but mind as well. There have been rumors circulating that a witch lives in the shack, but nobody dares step into the field, for they fear the ivy that covers the land as it leaves the body covered in blisters and welts. Everyone fears it except for Thema.

Feel for element: Being imbued with the power of plant manipulation has offered Thema the immunity to most—if not all—poisons. Her cells are also a hybridization of animal and plant cells, allowing for thicker skin and minor self-sustainability. She can also manipulate most living plants, but has a tougher time conjuring them. She has also been studying her healing capabilities and finds it possible, albeit difficult to accomplish.

Enchanted items: A dagger constantly slicked with poison. Gloves that enhance her ability to conjure and manipulate plant life. A utility belt that holds various alchemical ingredients. Most have healing or ailing properties.

Pet: A treant that stands around seven feet tall.[/hider]
