[h2]The Persona[/h2] [b]Personality[/b] Amara, or Flavia, as she wishes to be known as, has significant contrasts in her character. She can be brash and bold but also timid and cowardly with almost no in between. She'll curse you out at the top of her lungs and then apologize quietly a moment later. She is shy at first but generally warms quickly. When she feels safe, she is her bold self, talkative and carefree, quick to laugh, quick to joke, and friendly, in a rakish manner. But she shows a completely different side of her when nervous or even mildly intimidated. She withdraws quickly, like a turtle in it's shell, becoming quiet, timid, and submissive. It almost like she becomes a different person. When problems come she gets flustered easily and is indecisive at best. Ultimately, when push comes to shove, she is a coward. She hates this about herself and wishes she wasn't. She sees herself as weak and pathetic, thusly has a low self-esteem. She envies those with power and the bravery and wishes that she could be the same. She thinks that with power comes freedom from fear. Though generally fine with being around people, she is an introvert at heart and enjoys peace and quiet in solitude the most. She enjoys reading and studying, especially about magic, and as a result, she is quite knowledgeable about magical theory and magic in general, like a walking encyclopedia. Her dream is to study and master all kinds of magic, maybe even every one in essence, became a powerful Wizard. Overall, she is a rational, logic-driven person who can be deeply thoughtful, even philosophical at times. But, contrary even to this, she has a brace of fears ranging from mild to irrational.

Simple in concept, versatile in use. The caster may create temporary solid areas that can be molded and moved as the caster wishes. Strength and longevity are proportional to the caster's inherent power and time spend gathering magic, one can be sacrificed for the other. (Short-lived but strong, and vis versa) Also, size and complexity of shape are proportionally to magic spent and are generally inversely affected by the previous attributes. (Strong but small, or large but flimsy). In addition, a truly powerful caster could charge the barriers with other magics to give them that element, which can have a variety of affects that change the nature of the barrier itself, depending on what is used and the caster's intentions. Distance from the caster is also a factor, further then a few feet and it takes significantly more magic and concentration, but anywhere within that radius doesn't change the cost much. Flavia herself isn't very adapt with her magic, though not for the lack of trying. Her technical knowledge is vast, but her talent, power, and magical stores are depressingly small. She struggles to put up small barriers that could block a wall-thrown fastball or anything larger then her (small) frame. Basic change of natures she can go, but it takes time and she struggles to do so. Her spells in general have a high failure rate, which can be anything from spending the magic and getting nothing, to it abruptly vanishing, or even the barrier detonating with a lot of force. She is, to put it bluntly, magically inept. But perhaps there is more to her then she thinks. The Astra family blood she carries is potent in the extreme... [i]Spells[/i] *Note, she doesn't have true control over most of these. [list] [*]Barrier - the simple conjuring of a barrier and the primary spell. Subsequent spells generally modify the basic barrier to change it or produce different effects. [*]Rebound! - The barrier gains a rubbery, springy nature, strengthening its to defense against blunt hits and impacts at the cost of weakness to other types like slash or pierce. Also makes it more malleable and easier to shape. [*]Harden! - The barrier stiffens, becoming hard and strong, but more brittle. Strong against slashing hits or piercing attacks and the like, but shatters easily, making it weaker toward blunt impacts. Good against most projectiles too. [*]Soften! - Fairly advanced, the barrier takes on a more liquid form, but become very very dense. Difficult to hold, shape, and move, but nigh-invulnerable to most (reasonable) physical attacks. But, magic or energy-based attacks will pass through more easily. [*]Absorption! - A primarily energy-focused barrier, physical attacks will pass right through with barely any effort, but very strong against magic and energy-based impacts. Things like sounds, force, fire, electricity, ect. [*] (There will be more!) [*]Ultimate Shield - Her greatest spell. In theory. Supposedly repels anything and everything the caster wishes, but [i]only[/i] what the caster wishes and is unbreakable. But, in reality, its little more then a daydream. She has never gotten anywhere close to magic this powerful and complex. [/list] [b]Magic:[/b] Light Magic (C rank) [i]Description:[/i] Holder Magic She carries a powerful magic tome that allows it's wielder cast Light and even Holy elemental magic. The tome itself is powerful, she, however, is not. Thus she can't use it to its full potential. Still, it's strong enough to make up somewhat for her weakness, letting her keep up with most mages.
