[hider=Lee] [b]Name:[/b] Lee [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z8g-p-fd5Tg/VXx-vGuGelI/AAAAAAAAAAA/hhnyNR8J1X4/s1600/chica%2Banime%2Bby%2BAinoa.png]Lee[/url] towers at five foot nine with a body build more suited to dancing than what she normally does. Her golden locks are normally kept flowing wild and free with a black forehead band keeping it from her face. Her electric blue eyes are usually kept behind either a pair of big, dark sunglasses or a pair of garden safety goggles. Lee's naturally pale skin tone grew tanned due to the many hours she spends underneath the sun. Lee's clothing style tends to scream a feminine and, yet, rebellious fashion statement. No matter of she's sporting an off-shoulder top or a frilly rose-patterned skirt, Lee cannot be seen without her trademark black and yellow-trimmed suspenders, and spiked choker. She keeps a small terrarium attached to the messenger bag she carries around everywhere. [b]Year:[/b] 13 [b]Rank:[/b] Journeyman [b]Room No.:[/b] 21-A [b]Personality:[/b] Lee in one word is optimistic. She's as bright as the sun that warms the flowers in her own little garden. She's normally seen with a brilliant grin on her lips and a helping hand extended towards the many students around the school. She makes the most out of everything, choosing to live in the now instead of worrying incessantly about the past or the future. As long as she has the university, Ophelia, and her plants, then she would be fine. But Lee's wrath is as bad as nature itself. Harm any of the things she cares for and your punishment may come in the petty form of thorns in all your breeches or a head-on fight. Although, after she feels that all has been paid in full, she'll smile at you once more and help you up on your feet. [b]Magic Discipline:[/b] Nature Magic. Lee's magic comes from the land itself and the many, many who inhabit it. Users of this form of magic can directly influence and manipulate nature to their advantage, and are able to survive in any natural environment. Lee's magic also allows her to communicate with ease with nature, using the plant life encompassing the school to quickly gather information or trap her opponents. She is also able to control animal life to do her bidding, though this is done through a bonding ritual, and even take the shape of some that she has studied fully. While Lee has some control over natural phenomenon and weather, it is weak and unrealiable due to her lacking strength. Nature also sustains her that she needs very little sustenance after long periods under the sun. [hider=Spells] [i]Shapeshift[/i] [indent]As part of her nature magic, Lee can take an animal form. Some she can do with ease that all she needs is to think of the form, but others require a carefully chanted spell and a piece of the animal (a tooth or a tuft of fur would so). Currently, Lee can easily shapeshift into a dog, a raven, a mouse. She can also shift into a lioness, although with mild difficulty.[/indent] [i]Plant Manipulation[/i] [indent]The movement of her arms becomes the movements of the plantlife around her. Using this spell for an extended period of time can tire her out, but she can maintain it easily enough for a long fight so long as she doesn't receive much mental or spiritual damage. With this spell, she can manipulate nearby vines to hinder her opponen's movements or roots to shield her body from damage. She also enjoys using this spell to create a battleaxe out of plant life.[/indent] [i]One With Nature[/i] [indent]Her connection with nature is nigh unbreakable. In moments of meditation, Lee can tap into plants and animals around her to see the world through their eyes. This spell is useful for gathering information and scouting ahead, but with her Journeyman abilities, she can only maintain a full connection with at most two creatures.[/indent] [i]Breathe[/i] [indent]While not inherently Lee's main usage of nature magic, she can cast a weak healing spell to deal with small injuries. This healing spell directly ties to her location and current fatigue level. If she is under sunlight, she can heal most injuries despite being winded. Without sunlight, the capabilities of her spell rely on her ability to sustain magic enough to heal.[/indent] [/hider] [b]Equipment:[/b] A small, bottled terrarium attached to her bag; a bag specially enchanted to allow the stored herbs and plants to maintain their life and freshness; a small journal filled with notes on different kinds of plant life around the school [b]Biography:[/b] Eighteen years ago, a young Novice mage decided to push the limits of his abilities. Late night in one of the many rooms around the university, he gathered his materials, drew up his circle, and began his chant. Had he been able to achieve exactly what it was that he was attempting, he would have been heralded the greatest mage of the age. Alas, true to form, the novice had overestimated his skills. Truly, how could one so young with talents as sharp as a blunted rock even think he would be able to not only summon a deity, but also harness its abilities as his own. When the school officials found him, he was nothing but ashes and only the remnants of his attempt remained. At the very center of his summoning circle floated a small piece of the deity he'd summoned. The school's professors wasted no time in studying the specimen, noticing very quickly that plant and animal life around the campus grounds quickly decayed. It was a Grandmaster nature magi named Ophelia that was able to piece everything together and strive to resolve it. What the young mage had attempted to summon was a deity of the forest, and a very powerful one at that, that he forcefully ripped from its home to enter his circle. Unfortunately, due to his lacking skills, the summoning circle hadn't been able to hold and tore apart the deity. The scattered parts of the deity flowed through time and space, with one piece of it left behind at B.U.M. It was a temporary solution, but Ophelia and the other Grandmasters were able to create a human body for the piece to inhabit. Thus Lee - an ageless female human with an affinity for nature - was formed. Unfortunately, her situation had limitations. She has no memory of her existence as a deity; her magic, albeit inherently powerful, cannoy rise to its full potential unless she's once again whole; and lastly, she cannot leave the school grounds as it is its magic that sustains her. The first five years of her human existence had been spent learning the customs of civilized humans, and much of the years later were used to hone her abilities. It wasn't until the end of her seventeenth year that she was informed of her true existence. [b]Master:[/b] Ophelia, a Grandmaster nature mage who has retired from teaching.. She was the one who helped and took in Lee. The foolish young mage was her son. [b]If[/b] Lee [b]was forced to sacrifice something important in order to move forward, it would be:[/b] Ophelia. The old woman is the most important thing in Lee's life as she looks up to her like a mother. [b]If[/b] Lee [b]was offered to have a single wish fulfilled, it would be:[/b] to become whole. There has always been a lingering sense of loss within her and now that she knows the resson why, she wants to find the rest of her. If anything, she's excited for the possibility that she might be able to explore the world when she's finally whole. [/hider]
