Okay, be aware that there is a lack of description regarding the appearance pictures. I will touch up on those tomorrow night. I just needed to get something of quality posted tonight, for a preliminary review. Feel free to tear it to shreds when going over any issues. And yes, the harpy picture is the same as before. Was the only one I cared for to reference upon. For now, sleep does beckon me.

[b]➣ Powers:[/b] 
[indent]Ever wonder when there is more than one truly believes. For Felicia, soaring freely through the skies is only just the beginning of her new talents. As her harpy form grows familiar to the currents of the wind, a synchronized relationship develops between her and the air itself. Not only is it possible for her to strengthen the wind current during flight, enhancing her speed, it is also possible for her to control the movement of air in various other ways. 

Bursts of air can be formed to help divert an impending attack or push away a targeted adversary. The direction of these wind bursts can vary, including downdrafts. Potentially destructive whirlwinds can be formed, though intense concentration is required, pretty much negating any other physical action outside of fleeing. Vision is also heightened, due to being a bird of prey.

[b]➣ Biography:[/b] 
[indent]Before the feathers flew and the claws struck, there was [i]simply[/i] Felicia Harper; an inspired young girl born in Releigh, North Carolina. October 31st the morning was; the same exact day as Halloween. For her mother and father, they thought little of the laughable coincidence, yet Felicia always remained fascinated by such a yearly occurrence, partaking in the tradition full heartedly, attempting to outdo her last performance. Such was her childhood; the years eased further ahead into the future, her mother and father both holding respectable careers to keep the household financially stable. 

As time shifted along, her days of public schooling proved to be of little problem, and friends were always an easy find when actually sought after. Though being an only child, there were plenty of moments where she found solace being alone. Not until Felicia’s years in high school did she seek out more than what standard education was able to provide. Becoming distracted with the world beyond the classroom, her attention wandered astray more and more each day. With her mother a nurse and her father a meteorologist, the desire to assist and understand had already been bred within her genes. 

Beyond her passable studies, Felicia found an irresistible attraction to this new Academy, the one fully capable of training these mythical beings they called shifters. With eyes alight in fascination, her motivations remained as high as ever. That was until a male student, by the name of Alex, happened to cross her path and seriously questioned those same personal desires. War was always brought to the forefront of these heated conversations, yet neither wished to budge from their own rigid stance. But through all of the intense discussion, Felicia wondered whether it was not her that he was attempting to convince otherwise, but to truly change his own perspective. 
 
His words were filled with such distant pessimism, hers filled with hopeful optimism. Not until Felicia dared question Alex did she realize the meaning behind their first exchange. Behind those uncertain eyes of brown, there was a not a fear of death, but a fear of futility. No matter the means, the outcome would always result in total destruction or betrayal. Willing to look beyond such a dire possibility, no matter how much of a struggle, Felicia strongly believed that without fighting at all meant simply accepting defeat. That was something she would never do. Even if futility was guaranteed, why not give them hell along the way.

It was then and there that Felicia burst out laughing, Alex unable to contain a smile out of amusement. Maybe she had seen far too many movies and all of that nonsensical fluff finally went to her brain. Whatever the case might have been, after that day, Alex brought a brighter outlook by his side. Expressing his own gratitude for putting up with his stubbornness, a folded piece of paper was put in front of her, detailing an unusual prediction. How could Alex possibly know what he was going to be compatible with; a dragon no less? Hesitance held her back, unsure of whether faking the part of fate was a good idea.

Persistent as ever, she followed along with an open mind, writing her own enchanted prediction. The paper was soon read and kept safely in Alex’s possession. Felicia was urged to do the same and never lose it until they both were at the academy. No sooner before they revealed their true forms to one another would this promise be fulfilled in its entirety. It was planned for Felicia to be the first scheduled to join the Academy, Alex to follow shortly. The hardest was no doubt the wait, for she held her concerns that he would ultimately change his mind beforehand, choosing to stay away.

Retaining her faith in herself and Alex along the way, a passionate beginning to a new chapter was on the horizon. From within a highly advanced medical facility, away from the outside world, previously unfathomable transformations were ready to take shape. Undeterred from any such necessary testing, the possibilities were narrowed, until one such perfect match was found. For Felicia, the announcement was met with a few strange looks, having been caught off guard at the realization. No matter how hard she wanted to believe that little paper of hers, she was certainly no fairy. Were there some hidden tendencies she wasn’t aware of? 

Willing to venture along for the ride, into the greater unknown, Felicia prepared herself for her very own transformative procedure. Following standard procedure proved of little concern as the electrodes were first attached. Her trust remained with the experienced staff as she went through the motions with little resistance. No sooner had eyes closed did they open once more, a new figure complete in its entire form. From the surprisingly white wings, to the powerful talons abound, there revealed a formidable symbol of raw power. For Felicia, maybe she [i]could[/i] get accustomed to this harpy sort of thing. 

Who knows but at the Academy, which was within her sights, along with the three years of important training she would soon complete. Not to mention the excitement that followed at the first sight of Alex’s presence within the borders of the Academy during both of their first year’s training. Reluctant as ever, Alex hesitated to reveal his own transformation, disappointed in losing out on that all powerful dragon of his. Both showed off their predictions on paper before exchanging transformations, Alex showing off his Elven form first. Felicia was quick to reassure, challenging him to second guess the powerful magic of the Fae. 

Felicia’s shift into harpy form received only a lengthy look of surprise and a nod of respect for her own form. What else was there to mention, as long as she remained forever Felicia, then anything was a perfect fit. All that really mattered was the protection of earth and everyone who called this place their home. That is why she would give it her all to make most of this last year at the Academy. Her parents, who she had kept in contact with for the past three years had also expressed their continuing support, even when it got tough to remain away.

[b]➣ Personality:[/b] 
[indent]Can an individual be considered too daring? For Felicia, there is no such thing. Resilience is her key and passion is her motivational drive that keeps her striving towards the future. Where that may truly lead her in the end is anyone's guess. Life is certainly not without its many mysteries. Why not take a chance and follow along, discovery being the ultimate agenda. There is no doubt, her lofty ambitions may prove to be a bit more aggressive than another may be able to handle, though she forces no one into a decision unwillingly. 

Her inquisitive mind desires nothing more than to question reality and find the possible within the impossible. Felicia is by no means a pessimist and wishes nothing less than the well being of those she may happen to come across. She has no problems making friends when the opportunity arises, and is highly attracted to intellectual interactions. Both loyalty and obedience are of great meaning. Treat her with respect and she will do the same. Mistreat her and she will always think twice.[/indent]
