[center][b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://i.imgur.com/L349JWK.jpg?2[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Tsai Lin [h3]Basics[/h3] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Species/Race:[/b] Castor Dryad [b]Age:[/b] 108 [b]Height:[/b] 4'3" [b]Weight:[/b] 40 lbs [b]Hair Color:[/b] Dark brown [b]Eye Color:[/b] Pale brown [b]Skin Color:[/b] Fair, with green and red markings [b]Figure:[/b] Pixie-like [b]Job:[/b] Florist [h3]Powers[/h3] [i]Nature Manipulation[/i] – Tsai can control all types of plant matter, making trees grow in certain ways or flowers bloom. More flexible plants, like vines, can even be manipulated to grab things for her. [i]Dryad Spirit[/i] - Like all dryads, Tsai is able to melt herself into trees or plants. She typically does this to rest or when she needs to heal, or even when she's trying to move quickly through a heavily forested area and can't be bothered enough to walk around trees – she'll jut go through them. She can also communicate with plants. They're not able to tell her anything specific, but Tsai will know if there's some sort of natural disaster or changes in the earth and environment. Unlike her other two powers, this is a passive, inherent ability that doesn't require energy to use. [i]Poison Touch[/i] – As a Castor Dryad, Tsai has the ability to produce poison from her skin. The toxicity level can range from giving you a slight rash to corroding metals and dissolving flesh from bone. This also means she is immune to all organic poisons and toxins. [h3]Weaknesses[/h3] [i]Fragility[/i] - A frail, tiny thing, Tsai is just as weak as she looks. She can't take a hit, can't lift things much heavier than a phone book, and should just stay out of physical situations overall. [i]Antisocial[/i] – Tsai does not play well with others. She is arrogant, dismissive, and just down right aggravating to almost everyone who has the misfortune of knowing her. Her pride keeps her from listening to others or accepting help even when it would be in her best interest to do so. [i]Vulnerability[/i] – Dryads get their power from nature, which is why most of them choose to live in forests or jungles – well away from civilizations and heavily developed areas. Because Tsai no longer lives in a forest, she tires more easily when using her powers or exerting herself, though working in a flower shop helps to remedy this, some. [h3]Personality[/h3] Typically dryads (and nymphs as a whole) are thought of as shy, bashful creatures, too meek to approach others. This isn't the case with Tsai. She just doesn't like people. She is always composed, carrying herself as though she were a queen on some regal throne. Countless people who've met her have been baffled at how one so small can still manage to look down her nose at everyone. She uses her aloof demeanor to cover up any insecurities she may have, and is uncomfortable with almost every form of affection. She is a drifter, though not by choice, and maybe that's why she refuses to make any form of connection with others. The moment she finds herself falling into a routine with something, she uproots herself. It is her way of feeling some form of control over her circumstances. Maybe if she tells herself that she doesn't need a home or family often enough, she won't miss the one she lost quite so painfully. [h3]Background[/h3] Tsai was expelled from her clan almost thirty years ago, for reasons unknown. She's not the sharing type, and her prickly personality tends to dissuade people from caring enough about her to ask, so much of her backstory remains a mystery. But expulsion from her fellow Dryads meant being forced to leave the forest she had once called home. Thus, she moved to the small towns that dotted the map, never staying in one place for too long. At the moment Tsai owns a flower shop in Osari. She can work wonders with the flowers and bouquets, making them bloom in beautiful arrangements, but it's best to keep her away from the customers. She hired Lily to help deal with that. [/center]
