[b]Given Name[/b]: Ethra [b]Gender[/b]: Female [b]Age[/b]: 19 [b]Species[/b]: Bagoyép [b]Appearance[/b]: [hider=Digital depiction by myself (forgive the low picture quality, Imgur's fault)][img]http://i.imgur.com/9nxTadA.jpg?1[/img][/hider] [b]In-Depth Appearance[/b]: Ethra stands at 6'2, her species naturally being rather tall. Her unclothed body is that of a gaunt, pale-skinned, young human female's, with six limbs - two legs morphing into light pink bird feet halfway down the calf, two thin human arms, and two wings covered in white, messy feathers. [b]Brief Personality[/b]: Ethra is something of a reserved sort, someone who normally stays out of others' affairs, though this is not out of shyness - rather, she simply doesn't find merit in most social interactions, preferring to focus on her studies. However, she is keen on observing closeby events when they transpire, be they involving her fellow students or otherwise. She is not oppossed to making acquaintances but, she doesn't go out of her way to make it happen. [b]Familiar Name[/b]: Irsk [b]Familiar Form[/b]: Irsk takes the form of a large, hairless, sickly mouse, his body covered in several lesions and tumors. [b]Additional Information:[/b] Ethra belongs to a species of avian-humanoid creatures, bearing likenesses to multiple breeds of owls, known collectively as the bagoyép (a crude fusing of the Hungarian (supposed country of origin) words for owl, [i]bagoly[/i], and folk, [i]nép[/i]). They differ from other avian species in that they possess very human-like bodies at their center, complete with working human arms to make up for the poor gripping abilities of their wings. Bagoyép are long-lived, mostly mundane creatures, capable of using magic but taking quite a long time to get the hang of it. They do, however, possess an innate ability to incur complete bodily paralysis in others via focusing of certain muscles connected to their rather large eyes, though this ability is ineffective against most other nonhuman entities. In truth, it rarely works on anything [i]besides[/i] humans, as a being with any innate magic in them will be able to resist it relatively easily, only experiencing temporary visual distortion instead of becoming completely paralyzed. Repeated use of this ability is harmful to a bagoyép, and abusing it too much can very likely lead to temporary [i]or[/i] permanent blindness. Ethra herself is a young bagoyép hailing from a small, magically sheltered community of nonhuman folk. She was one of only two bagoyép living there, the other being her adoptive father Kantus, who took Ethra in at the behest of a local orphanage after they found her unhatched egg, alone and abandoned in the wilderness. How she wound up there, and what happened to her biological parents, are both unknown. Kantus raised her up and, when the appropriate time came, saw to her enrollment in Silverspell University, which he had himself attended in his younger years.
