She has a slim body with lean muscles and reasonable curves, even if she’s a bit lacking in some areas. She has a nice figure when she wears form fitting clothes and she knows it. She has a gentle, oval shaped face with a well defined jaws. Her nose is rounded and lacks any definition at the bridge, smoothing up towards her dark brown eyes. She almost always wears eyeliner and eyeshadow around them along with red lipstick on nicely defined lips. Her skin is a warm brown in colour, lighter than expected for her origins due to a lack of sun while growing up. Isla is never found without her yellow, knitted beanie on her head. It covers the natural dark brown roots of her hair, which she has dyed a golden blonde. It’s long and curly, something she rarely bothers to tame as it falls midway down her back. Even though Isla is confident in her looks she rarely makes an effort to wear nice clothes that show it off. She’s almost always found in a baggy hoodie and black skinny jeans, preferring combinations of bright oranges, yellows and reds. Only when she’s feeling especially good, or wants to make a good impression, will she wear something more form fitting - most likely the same skinny jeans and low cut, tight shirts. One of the most shocking things about Isla is her accent, which is clearly Scottish (Glaswegian specifically). She tones it down when around people who aren’t from there, but it’s still clear and will often get thicker as she gets angrier. Isla’s never actually spent a day in her life in Iran so contrary to her appearance she’s more Scottish than anything. [/indent][/indent] [color=f26522][h3][u][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/u][/h3][/color] [i]"If I’m being honest..."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=f26522][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Isla’s main goal right now is to get enough money to find a way back home. Aside from this, she just wants to live her life having fun and spending time with others, living each day as it comes to it fullest. Deep down, she wants to be able to actually stop lying and start being honest to herself and others. She also used to want to go become a Vet but never got the grades for it and doubts she could ever achieve their goal. But she doesn’t really have a solid goal. [color=f26522][b]WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF THE COVEN ⫻[/b][/color] Since she got stuck in Tampa, Isla trawled the internet and managed to find out about the coven (and watched a few videos of them). She figured that her best of getting by in a strange city was to join a group of witches. From the coven she’s mostly looking for companionship in a strange place, help getting home and maybe a place to stay. [color=f26522][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b] [/color]Always look out for yourself, and don’t let anyone else know the real you. Isla basically believes in lying to make it and to be included and that you should cover up the worst parts of yourself. She has a sense of companionship and believes groups are better than individuals, but would still choose self prioritisation. [color=f26522][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] The fact that almost nothing she tells others is the truth, and that most of what they know about her is lies. How insecure she actually is. [color=f26522][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Bisexual. Isla has had relationships with both men and women in the past, and is comfortable with this. [color=f26522][b]FEARS ⫻[/b] [/color]Isla fears being found out for all her lies. She also fears not being liked by anyone and being excluded. [color=f26522][b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b][/color] None, since she just arrived in Tampa. [color=f26522][b]FLAWS ⫻[/b][/color] Isla is a pathological liar for a start, and very little that she says is entirely honest. With her dishonesty comes a certain expectation that others will be the same and she isn’t very trusting of others. Contrary to her relaxed attitude, Isla is actually often on edge and in anticipation of [i]something[/i] happening. She’s also fairly insecure, something she covers up with her lies and bright persona and attempts to fit in. She also has a really annoying habit of going on and on when talking. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=f26522][h3][u][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/u][/h3][/color] [i]"You’ll never believe how I got here."[/i] [indent][indent]Isla never knew her birth parents: her mother passed away giving birth to her and she didn’t have a registered father. However, this wasn’t a particularly sad thing for the girl - she quickly got adopted in her birth country of Scotland by a couple who couldn’t have their own child. Her adoptive parents weren’t particularly well off but they provided her with everything she could need. They were great parents and brought her up well. Unfortunately for them Isla fell in with a bad crowd in her highschool years. She started hanging out on the streets, stealing and fighting and smoking. She wasn’t exactly the ringleader but she participated pretty heavily in the theft side of things. It was when with this group that Isla first started lying, discovering that it was easier to gain people to her side and get what she wanted by being dishonest. It was when she was seventeen that things took a turn for the weirder. One day she messed up when she was staying over at a friend’s in Edinburgh, and let her friend egg her on to steal from a really fancy high street shop. But eyes were already on her as soon as she entered because she clearly looked out of place, and she got caught as soon as she started pocketing stuff. One minute she was staring at a shop worker, tension high as she waited for the consequences, the next she was in the back alley outside and hit by a vision of someone she’d never been before. This woman introduced herself as Isla’s biological mother, who explained to her that she had been an Adept - and so was Isla. She explained to her exactly what this meant and about the powers that Isla had now inherited. In this vision she told the teenager a bit about herself and how to use her newfound abilities. This left Isla confused about suddenly discovering a world of Extra-Normal she’d never known about before. However it didn’t change her life much, beyond giving her something else to practice and making her even better as a degenerate teenager. She kept it secret and went through her life, graduating highschool and going to college for stonemasonry, before getting an apprenticeship in that. Then, very recently, Isla ended up waking up in a strange boat in a place called Paradise. This led to grouping up with a bunch of strangers and going through quite a few crazy (horrible) adventures, which included watching one person get bifurcated and then finding out a little girl was behind it all. Once all was said and done the girl opened a portal to take them back home… only Isla ended up in Tampa, Florida. [/indent][/indent] [color=f26522][h3][u][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/u][/h3][/color] [i]"Oh, this is yours?"[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [b]Theft ⫻[/b] Isla has been stealing since she was in early highschool and it’s a skill, and bad habit, she’s never broken. Her main skill lies in stealing from shops or of other things just left lying around, picking it up without others noticing. She also has experience with stealing directly from people (and their pockets) - but how well this goes is heavily dependent on how perceptive the person she’s stealing from is. [b]Lying ⫻[/b] Due to basically being a pathological liar, Isla is very good at lying. Most of what she says is believable, and most of what she says is lies (well, the twisted truth). She’s not perfect, lacking an amazing memory, so she does sometimes mess up consistency wise - but overall it’s hard to tell when she’s lying or when she’s telling the truth. [b]Street Fighting ⫻[/b] Isla spent most of her highschool years and beyond hanging out with unsavoury characters, some of which were pretty good fighters. She picked up a few tricks from them from the tumbles she got into - she could take people without any fighting experience easily but would get beaten by those who are trained. She tends to fight dirty and always carries a foldable knife with her, just in case. [b]Understanding Scottish ⫻[/b] Alright, most may not think of it as a skill in any form but Isla is pretty proud of her ability to understand the thicker Scottish accents and slang. Not to mention she can easily read and translate Scottish twitter for others so it's a win win. [b]Stonemasonry ⫻[/b] A pretty niche skill and what Isla went to college for. Useless outside of her job of helping regenerate old buildings. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=f26522][h3][u][b] ABSTRACTION [/b][/u][/h3][/color] [i]"One minute I’m here, the next I’m not."[/i] [indent][indent] [color=f26522][b]TYPE ⫻[/b][/color] Adept [color=f26522][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b] [/color]Purple lux. Channeler: her beanie (hand knitted by her adopted mother). [color=f26522][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b] [/color] [indent] Blinking ⫻ Short ranged, fast teleportation. She can teleport to someone she can see at that moment, within reason (if she was in an endless field she could only teleport a certain distance - but if she was in a room she could teleport all around it). This can be used in quick succession and frequently, being her most used and practice spell. Essentially she can “blink” around the place. Long Range Teleportation ⫻ Isla can cast longer range, more traditional teleportation. She can teleport to somewhere she has visited before within a reasonable range. Movement Stopping ⫻ Isla can stop something, or someone, that is currently in motion. For example if someone was running she could make them suddenly come to a stop. She can also, with a greater difficulty, stop a very specific movement - such as someone who is about to punch her, she could stop the movement of their arm. This is the spell Isla has used second most after blinking. Telekinesis ⫻ One of the spells that Isla only recently figured out and has been trying to practice. At the moment Isla can move around nearby objects - causing them to levitate them, pulling them closer to her and the like. Her control of the speed of the object's movements is shaky at the moment. She can’t do much more than that yet. [/indent] [color=f26522][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] [indent][b]Blink:[/b] Isla can teleport around fifteen feet at a time and can chain blink around three times before it gets too tiring and has to catch her breath. The whole thing drains her stamina. [b]Teleport:[/b] Isla can teleport up to sixty meters to a place she has visited before... but she can only do it once an hour as the experience is very straining and tiring on her body. She can bring people but that just makes it even more tiring. [b]Movement Stopping:[/b] Isla can only stop the movements of one object at a time within a ten meter radius, but it doesn't work effectively on Extra-Normal beings. She can use it on them, but the more she uses it on them, the more resistant they become. She can hold the spell for up to a few minutes atm. [b]Telekinesis:[/b] Isla's control over objects is very rudimentary and she can't do anything fancy at the moment. She can only manipulate one object a time up to a limit of one hundred pounds, also she can only do it in a six-meter radius. [b][/b] [/indent] [color=f26522][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] [indent] [b]Blinking:[/b] Blinking causes some disorientation and throws off her balance, rapidly blinking will cause her nausea and will probably fall over due to disorientation. [b]Long-Ranged Teleportation:[/b] The spell is very taxing and teleporting will probably cause her to be stunned for a bit. [b]Movement-Stopping:[/b] Movement Stopping [i]greatly[/i] slows her down. Like she's walking through thick honey as long as the spell persists. [b]Telekinesis:[/b] The usual; headaches, nosebleeds, etc etc. [/indent] [/indent][/indent] [color=f26522][h3][u][b] OTHER [/b][/u][/h3][/color] [i]"I’m out."[/i] [indent][indent]Isla’s real name is actually Arabella, but she hates that name with a passion and hasn’t gone by it in years.
