[color=ed1c24]Name[/color]: Alya The Psychic Symphony
[color=ed1c24]Age[/color]: 23
[color=ed1c24]Birthday[/color]: July 22
[color=ed1c24]Magic[/color]: Mental Music - When Alya plays her songs, she can manipulate the minds of those who hear her. It works best on those of either weak will or simply not paying attention to her specifically. When under the effect of her songs, she is able to sense their thoughts and see into the minds of anyone listening to her. She can also alter their perceptions to create illusions, make them hear things (Or not hear specific things), and even make them feel pain but not physically injure them. Her strongest spell is being able to outright mind control someone, however this only works on one person at a time, requires an intense amount of concentration, and can be broken by those of sufficiently strong enough will, especially if they have to do something they would normally be against (like fighting their friends or jumping into a lake).

[color=ed1c24]History[/color]: 
Alya was raised in a monastery, her parents unknown to her. When the monks found her, all they knew for certain was that she was carefully hidden inside a box of peaches. The monastery that raised her were called the Harmonious Sect, a group of monks who used music based magic. They had powerful spells hidden in their monastery and most of the monks where there to protect it, but overtime the secret of those spells were lost, either destroyed to make sure no one ever learned them or simply forgotten. Thus they began to just take in wayward children, the homeless, and other dredges of society and try to reform them with music and spiritualism. Alya was one such orphans. Among the children she always had a gifted talent with the magic side of her music, but feared standing out among her fellow peers. She always hears about their scorn behind her back, how they dismiss her abilities and belittle her competence. Even her teachers, when they weren't trying to make her a standard, were strict on her and demanded the best since she was better then the other students.

Her only refuge was playing her music to travelers who would visit the monastery. They would often stop by to seek safety for the night, or were attacked by bandits and needed protection. Alya looked for any excuse to leave the monastery and would often volunteer to escort these people to wherever they needed to go. Eventually when she was sixteen, after she felt she had mastered everything the monks could teach her, she went on a job to escort some mages to a major city and she never returned to the monastery. There she was hoping that her unique skills and abilities would finally allow her to shine. But instead it only taught Alya that at the monastery, she was a big fish in a small pond. In the world of mages where all types of magic is used and practiced, she was just a drop in the bucket.

Alya had a hard time surviving on her own in the city. She was naive to most of the typical rules of the city, and often she got robbed because she put too much trust in strangers. But she learned quick and utilized her talents the best she could. Her soft heart harden ad she learned to use her magic to manipulate others. At first it was just to get them to even listen to her songs, but then she started to use her magic to make them her puppets. She knew that what she was doing was dangerous and if she wasn't careful she'd make a lot of enemies, so she didn't stay in town for long. Alya became a traveling musician who used her magic to "help soothe the wounded and weary", but often would use her magic to con people out of their money or get her favors. But there are times that she does use her magic for genuine good too. She just has to find a good balance between doing what she believes is right, and being able to survive on her own without a home or family.

[color=ed1c24]Personality[/color]: 
Alya is something of an actor. She can be nice and kind but truthfully quite selfish and vicious, but at the same time she isn't lying either. She wants to be kind and generous to her friends but she doesn't have many friends, and she's been betrayed so much that she naturally distrust strangers even if they're kind to her. She can pretend to play along but really only look out for herself, and she would try to avoid trouble if she can help it. But deep down she wants to do good and if she really thinks someone is in need of help, she'll often try either in secret or openly.

[color=ed1c24]Guild and guild mark location[/color]: Alya isn't in a Guild. She thought about joining one, but she thinks that how she uses her magic to con people out of their money is dishonorable and isn't sure if any Guild would want her if they found out.
[color=ed1c24]Team Members[/color]: None
[color=ed1c24]Three Strengths[/color]: 
1. Good at sensing lies and deceptions even without her magic letting her into people's thoughts.
2. Can multitask playing her instrument and fighting with ease and grace.
3. Very agile and capable of slipping out of tight situations or dancing while she preforms.
[color=ed1c24]Three Weaknesses[/color]: 
1. Relies entirely on her magic to fight. If her enemies can't hear her magic she doesn't have any physical way of taking her opponents down. 
2. Alya isn't that tough too. She relies a lot on dodging attacks and keeping her distance and if her enemies have her trapped she's done for.
3. Alya never trusts anyone and would be the first to betray them if she thinks they're going to do something to her. She's paranoid especially when she doesn't show it, so anyone who knows her shouldn't rely on her.

[color=ed1c24]Greatest Love[/color]: None at the moment.
[color=ed1c24]Motivation[/color]: Right now Alya just wants to be able to survive on her own. She doesn't really know what she'd do with herself once she can do this.

[color=ed1c24]Additional Details[/color]: Alya has a slight reputation as a minstrel, to the point that she has been invited to play at various venues for rich and powerful people. However the rumors of her magic has also spread so if one keeps tabs on traveling musicians, they might want to keep and eye on Alya. Alya of course spins the rumors around and claims that it's just jealous minstrels who don't like that she does mix her music and magic together, instead of just being a pure musician. 

Alya can use her voice to activate her magic if she's singing though she prefers using an instrument. Her preferred instrument is a Koto. With her magic however she can make her koto sound like anything, even multiple instruments or other people's voices if she needs vocals. In music circles she's known as the "Psychic Symphony" because of how her music resonates in the mind instead of just the ears.
