[color=0076a3][b]Physique[/b][/color] Ceri is a rather diminutive, unassuming girl. Standing roughly at 5'3". Most of her appearance is hidden under her robe, which she never seems to ever take off. What people can see, however, is locks of pure white hair, a pair of bright blue eyes and every so often a flash of pale skin. Despite her diminutive stature however one shouldn't underestimate her physical abilities. While not super strong, she does know how to fight. The rest of her appearance is unknown - she never takes off her robe in the presence of others, or even when alone. It somehow always seems to remain perfectly in place, unless specifically targeted by magic. You'd be hard pressed to find a time when she fully takes it off. [h2]The Persona[/h2] [color=0076a3][b]Personality[/b][/color] Ceri tries. She honestly does. Unfortunately, her timid nature and tendency to flee, and her massive amount of self-doubt really doesn't help. Running is first nature to her. Fighting hardly ever even crosses her mind, unless she absolutely must or is backed into a corner where she can not run. You know what they say. Never corner a frightened animal - she is quite adept at her abilities and will use it to her full advantage, if she must. As far as others goes, she is about as friendly as they come, though her social anxiety can become somewhat detrimental to social interactions. She has had very little dealings with other people in the past, aside from the occasional violent confrontation and has no idea how to interact with people normally. Still, she tries to be friendly, and get along with others, and remain positive despite her shortcomings. However, she does have a rather...darker side if pushed too far or if she becomes stressed. Often times, she internalizes a lot of sarcastic comments and snark and colorful language. Even she has a limit. A natural and correct assumption, given what she is after all. Perhaps it'd be best not to antagonize her. It could be said she is not shy, but rather she has no idea how to deal with people in a non-violent or antagonistic way which is natural for her. After all, she is an inherently evil being, is she not?

Power. An Allure that so many people fail to resist, and is deeply linked to Ceri's own history and starts with her father, a man by the name of Grigor Morgan. A once respectable mage and somewhat well known member of a guild by the name of 'Beholder Eye'. A man who lost everything on one dark day, and cursed the gods who gave him such a fate and set him upon the path of evil. Not that Ceri herself, would ever know this. Grigor was tight lipped about a past that happened nearly thirty years ago. Ceri is the realization of all of his research. All of his power, thoughts, and will manifested into a single book. A tome of curses, a tome of evil - an Etherious. Created a mere three years ago, Ceri's life has been a surprisingly short one despite her older appearance. She was to be a tool, nothing more and nothing less. A tool that cut away the cancer of society. A blade to turn those who would abuse their power and harm others into forgotten history. Yet, even with good intent Grigor had long since fallen into despair and began only seeing himself as a savior that could bring about the end of dark guilds and those who would abuse power. That was his intent, until he was discovered. He couldn't let the authorities take away his lives work. Progress, ambitions - everything. Giving Ceri all of his research, he allowed her to flee. And instead of fighting, he chose surrender. After all, an Etherious' life is directly linked with that of their creator. Dying would also mean the end of his research. A problem he'd need to work on. But he sent her away before they could know the full extent of his research. That was around a year ago. Unsure where to go and never having actually talked with or interacted much with other people, she was sorely out of her element. However, she did work up the courage to become a part of Dragon Heart. In the few months of the journeying she had before coming here she realized she really wasn't strong and that she knew actually very little about the world. Books can only teach so much, after all. Which is her main goal for being here. She wants to learn, experience the world, and maybe make a friend or two on the way. [h2]The Mage[/h2] [color=0076a3][b]Magic[/b][/color] Haze Curse [i]Description[/i] [url=https://fairytail.fandom.com/wiki/Curse]Curse[/url] Not a magic at all, but rather a curse used by Etherious in lieu of magic. Claimed to be a superior power by some, despite her timidity and reluctance to battle this fact alone means her abilities are far better than what some would give her credit for. It is unaffected by magic nullification abilities and those that directly deal with magic, and runs off of 'Curse Power' or powerful, negative human emotions. The Haze Curse manifests as a thick fog of black, heavy, almost sludge like smoke that Ceri has complete control over. Density, weight, etc. The heavy smoke is black and obscures vision, and when she fights it seems to cling to her and its surroundings. She can see and feel everything that is in this smoke, be they friend or foe and its acts as a second set of eyes or senses. [i]Spells[/i] [hider=Applications] [b]Haze form:[/b] Technically speaking, Ceri's body is made up of the same weightless smoke she utilizes in combat. While she is 'physical' and will be injured if cut, she can effectively render many physical and magical attacks useless simply by allowing her physical body to temporarily poof out of existence. It is rather draining and difficult to maintain permanently however, and is best used sparingly at her current ability level. [b]Haze Fake:[/b] A body double made of the same thick smoke that she manipulates. Perfect and fairly indistinguishable from the real thing aside from their inability to actually hurt things as they lack any sort of physical form. [b]Fumus Mundi:[/b] A slashing attack made by condensing the smoke to a point. Can come in many forms, but is most employed as a slash or arrow from a distance. [b]Haze Curse, first seal: Perdita[/b] The first stage of the curse. 'Lost.' Fighting at the lowest power level it simply covers the field in an ankle high field of hazy grey smoke. Her most often used and applied form, as its usually all that's needed. Nothing to troubling to deal with and the smoke holds no extra properties, though is slightly acidic to the touch of bare skin and causes light burns. [b]Haze Curse, Second Seal: Memoria[/b] The second stage of the curse, or the 'Memory' seal. Blankets the area in a area of thick fog like haze that refuses to leave. Usually can engulf most people of average height. This is where the curses more nefarious properties start manifesting. Notably its ability to seep into the body with its high concentration of lead, and anyone breathing it in will start feeling the effects of lead poisoning very quickly after only a few minutes of exposure. [b]Haze Curse, Third Seal: Delens[/b] The third and final seal, 'Erase' and where her full ability of control over the curse manifests. The fog is expanded to cover nearly a mile of area, large enough to cover a section of a small town and blot out all light from any source within and without leaving those inside trapped in a murky grey expanse while they fight her and the curse. A particularly malevolent ability that will turn unprepared, those exhausted, or those with weak magical ability into mindless puppets of the haze after invading their mind and body, making them 'forget' themselves and become little more than rabid animals that attack anything on sight with cursed vitality. It's incredibly draining and taxing, and not something to be used lightly considering the collateral damage on civilians. [/hider] [b]Items[/b] Her cloak dulls the wearers presence, making it easier for her to go unnoticed. A rather macabre [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ff/44/51/ff4451a5ea6746875bdde5eb5a430624.jpg]blade[/url] her father gave her. Purely used for self defense, and she is scared to even think about using it but will if she must defend herself. [h2]Miscellaneous[/h2] Surprisingly quite agile, despite the cloak. Seems to not weigh much. Also quite good at using her dagger, so don't underestimate her. No Relatives. Her 'Father' is imprisoned and isn't related by blood. The fact that she's an Etherious and uses Curses rather than magic is not something she advertises, and most people in the guild aside from the guild master probably wouldn't be aware. She goes to great lengths to hide her identity. [/hider] [/center]
