[hider=Prodigy][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/IqhxMPM.jpg[/img][/center] [center][h2]Cornelia Marie Falkenrath[/h2][/center] Age: 11 Gender: Female Personality: Despite her overall cute looks, Cornelia is a distant and aloof girl. She rarely speaks unless spoken to and even then her words tend to be very terse and cold. She doesn't trust others, doesn't even want to trust them. People terrify her in ways most couldn't imagine, not that you'd ever be able to tell. If someone ever did give her a reason to trust them, she would show a much kinder and softer side to her. After all, underneath that tough exterior, is just a lonely girl who wishes she could have friends and a normal childhood. Abilities: [list][*]Magical Affinity: Before the decline of her family's magic, they had a strong affinity for the sky. Cornelia would inherit this affinity, giving her strong wind and lightning based magic. She can also tap into other concepts of sky such as freedom and disconnect. [list] [*]Wind Spells:[list] [*]Wind Burst: Focusing mana into her palm, she sends a blast of wind at the target/targets to blast them back. [*]Gale Cutter: Three blasts of air, focused into a sharp edge, are whipped out at the target in quick succession. [*]Air Step: A spell that lets her use the air itself as if they were stones to leap upon. She cannot stay in one place and must only use it for movement. [*]Eye of the Hurricane: A powerful force of wind spins around her creating a temporary barrier. It only holds up for a minute, cannot be used consequetively, and doesn't block certain things such as lasers.[/list] [*]Lightning Spells:[list] [*]Spark Bind: It creates a small electric field around the indicated area. A magic circle will appear in the place that the field will go up. If the target isn't fast enough, they will be trapped in the barrier, unable to escape without electricuting themselves. [*]Thunder Bird: Four bird shaped constructs made of pure lighting form above her head. She can send them all at once or one at a time to hone in on the target. They explode into a electical charge when coming into contact with something.[/list] [*]Conceptual Spells:[list] [*]Release: A spell that can free the user from most binds, be they magical or mundane. [*]Liberator: This spell temporarily liberates a target or the user from a single thing that may be holding them back. It can be a mental block or something physically wrong. Whatever it is, the target will end being able to tap into a higher potential than before. [*]Contract Sever: A spell that gets stronger depending on how long it is prepared. Its mostly impractical for combat, only being able to sever very weak contracts, but given time and preperation (usually ammounting to several day), she can break most of the powerful, binding contracts in this world.[/list][/list] [*]Survival Mind: As a result of a hijacked ritual that her family had tried to perform on her to make her stronger, whenever Cornelia feels her life is in danger, she goes into a completely different state of mind. Her movements become autonomous, she's no longer able to react to things like a normal person, instead her sole drive is to survive. In this state, she will quickly analyze the most practical and quickest way to survive. This isn't to say that she'll be able to dodge or counter everything thrown at her. She is still an eleven year old girl with limited physical capability, she can still be blind sided or overwhelmed even in this survival mode.[/list] Skills: She is very aware of her own thoughts and is capable of focusing and/or clearing her mind. Equipment: N/A Brief Backstory: For generations, the Falkenrath family has been on a great decline. Once a powerful magus family, they could only produce mages with the minimalist of access to magic. All hope was thought to be lost for the dying family when a child was born the year before the previous White Night. This child had great store of mana and potential for magic they haven't seen in a more than one hundred years. Hoping to regain their glory with the next White Night, they quickly put the girl through harsh and dangerous training. Taken from parents she never got to know, she spent a very lonely and cold existence, constantly in fear of her next 'trial'. It was this fear that made for a very big, yet profitable, mistake. On the day they would perform a ritual to make her stronger, Cornelia was feeling especially high strung and fearful. So when they brought her out, her fear took over and seized the ritual from them, changing it into something else completely. Several of her relatives were critically injured in the aftermath, resulting in the family taking action in training the girl calm her own mind so another incident like this didn't happen again. Though, they were pleasantly surprised by the results of the failed ritual. It wasn't quite what they wanted, but some considered it a much better alternative. Now, at the age of eleven, she has been brought to Rokuro to perform the White Night ritual. Accompanying her is an Aunt and Uncle who are here to moniter her progress and make sure she achieves her goal no matter the cost.

She enjoys the company of others and is always seeking out new people to befriend, or, in her unique case, ways to make new friends. Having a strong affinity with animals, she has many pets residing in her home. She loves each of them dearly and if you mess with them, she will show a surprisingly scary side to her. [*]Abilities: [list][*] Magical Affinity: Animals or rather beasts. [*]Six Talismans of the Beast: A set of ofuda Kanon created herself to channel the abilities of various beast spirits. Only one can be used on a person at a time. [list][*] Wolf: An ofuda that increases the senses of whoever it placed upon. Specifically, sight, smell, and hearing get significatly increased. [*]Elephant: The sheer weight, strength, and density of an object or person gets greatly increased. A person would be capable of busting through walls effortlessly with this magic. The downside is that it comes at the expense of the person's natural speed and reflexes. [*]Monkey: An ofuda that increases the acrobatic abilities of anyone who uses it. It is most effective when combined with some form of martial arts. [*]Hawk: It grants temporary flight by forming etheral wings on the back of the user. It also makes the user much faster as long as they're in flight. [*]Swordfish: The swordfish ofuda is an odd one that not only gives the user not only the ability to breath under water and very fast swimming ability, but also forms an etheral sword in the shape of swordfish's bill. [*]Horse: As one would imagine, this ofuda increases the speed and stamina of the user. It also gives them more power in their legs, making for very powerful kicks.[/list] [*]Creation of Shikigami: Because of her affinity with beasts, she has an easier time of creating shikigami than most. Usually its paper dolls that take the form of animals, but she has a shikigami that she was able to give permanent form to. Her name is [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1531864]Shiroi[/url] [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1531867]Nunoe[/url] and she is a dog spirit that was able to manifest in a human-like body through Kanon's abilities. Despite her unorthodox creation, she is still considered an inugami and thus has the ability to use black magic. Specifically, her magic is to manipulate the five chinese elements. Because of her direct link to Kanon, she doesn't use her magic too often as it drains from her master.[/list] [*]Skills: She knows some basic martial arts but nothing too fancy. She also quite good at cooking, cleaning, and caring for her various pets. [*]Equipment: Paper Dolls [*]Brief Backstory: Kanon was the only daughter of a Daoshi who came from a long line of onmyouji. Her mother had died during child labor, leaving her only with her father to raise her. He was a kind man, who treated his daughter well and taught her everything he knew. His constitution had greatly weakened after the death of his wife and though he tried to fight it, he grew increasingly more ill as time passed. It was when Kanon reached the age of thirteen that her father finally passed away in his sleep. Though this event greatly saddened the young teenager, she didn't let it depress her and instead poured herself in her studies. During this time, she began to unconsciously surround herself in animals. They provided great companionship for a lonely girl. This made an idea form in her head. What if she could make her own family through the creation of shikigami? And thus she began looking into creating a shikigami different from the ones she usually created from paper dolls. After two full years, her efforts came to fruition and she was able to give form to "sister" Shiroi. Plot Role: Inexperienced [/list][/hider]
