However, her symbols also include all forests and rivers. She was worshipped in the Black Forest area, beside river banks, in the shrines devoted to her, and atop the mountains within the Black Forest. She has been revered as the goddess of the Black Forest itself, the goddess of Abnoba Mountain located within the Black Forest, and the goddess of childbirth. She is the protector of woods, springs, rivers, and wild animals. [hr][h2][color=ed145b][ APPEARANCE ][/color][/h2][hr] [color=ed145b][B][ PHYSIQUE ][/B][/color] Fianna is petite and curvy but in a muscular way with a little bit to squish. Her love of nature fuels her need for hikes in the wilderness, thus answering why her cheekbones are frequently, pink and warm from the sun. She has long delicate fingers, soft feminine hands that can also pack quite a punch. True Celtic fashion, she is a redhead and freckles littering her body. Normally, is wearing some form of jeans, upcycled T-shirt, and a jacket with a hiking backpack filled with essentials. Her hair is usually in a braid or ponytail. [color=ed145b][B][ HEIGHT / WEIGHT ][/B][/color] 5'3", 160 lbs. [hr][h2][color=ed145b][ PERSONALITY ][/color][/h2][hr] [color=ed145b][B][ PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION ][/B][/color] Fianna has an overall sweet disposition that fools many to believe that she is younger than she truly is. Sometimes, the young woman will space off into her own little world especially if she's basking in nature. Occasionally, the comments that come out of her mouth are rather silly, almost in a mad-hatter sort of manner. She normally wouldn't hurt a fly but sometimes her redheaded temper gets in the way, most don't expect a shy, but bubbly girl to spew curses at them after they have angered her. Fia is a very bright girl that loves nature and, in fact, will wander forests for hours on end with a journal and a charcoal pencil to sketch plants, scenes, and creatures that she comes across. She also likes to be barefoot and feel the earth between her toes, and also enjoys foraging and gardening for food. Fianna firmly believes in treating others how you want to be treated. She will try her hardest to help those that are in need and is loyal to the ones she deems as family. [color=ed145b][B][ LIKES / DISLIKES ][/B][/color] Likes: -Drawing -Reading -Camping -The smells of cinnamon, peppermint, and evergreens -Gardening/foraging Dislikes: -senseless hunting (like trophy hunting) -people thinking rather highly of themselves -littering [hr][h2][color=ed145b][ BIOGRAPHY ][/color][/h2][hr] [color=ed145b][B][ Place of Origin ][/B][/color] Monhegan, Maine [color=ed145b][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] Fianna was born in the home of a Games and Parks Officer and a former flower child. Her parents were caring and attentive, giving Fianna as much as they could with the money that they had, which wasn't much. They lived outside of Monhegan on a little homestead with chickens, goats, and a milk cow with a huge garden that Fia spent hours in as a child. Sometimes her father would bring in orphaned wildlife for Fianna to help raise and release back into nature. Her mother believed that nature provided all that one could need to survive and taught Fianna everything she knew. Fia was homeschooled up until junior high and had a hard time fitting in. She was often bullied at school, being labeled weird for overly enjoying plants and animals. She did have a few friends but even they were hesitant when she would get over-excited in public about her nature drawings or scientists discovering a new plant or animal. Fianna was taught by her parents to be peaceful and kind, but after so long, she snapped. It was her junior year of high school and Fia had caught a group of boys torturing a stray cat outside the school. Fianna told them to stop bothering the poor thing and one of the boys turned and began to pick on her. Telling her that hand-me-down clothes were like rags and she always smelled of outside. Fianna just looked at him and said, [color=ed145b]"I may smell like that but at least I don't have a face like an ass and no amount of Axe Body Spray can help [i]you[/i] with that."[/color] That boy kicked her legs out from underneath her, but she was going to take him down with her and grabbed him by the shirt before they fell down some cement stairs. Fia ended up with scrapes covering her knees, fractured forearms, and a black eye. After she was healed, the same boy tried to bother her again and she ended up punching him square in the nose, breaking it clean. She ended up getting suspended. After high school, Fianna decided to follow in her parents' footsteps (somewhat) and wanted to become a wildlife biologist with a minor in botany. [color=ed145b][B][ REASON FOR CHOICE ][/B][/color] One summer Fianna had landed a job working as an intern for a national park. She loved the job, she got to work with injured animals and help rehabilitate them to survive as well as study various natural ways to help keep invasive plants from overtaking the park. Sometimes she had to help with the Game Officers when they were short-staffed. This park had a hard time keeping poachers out during the non-hunting seasons. One night, Fianna was covering for a coworker and had to respond to a report of shooting down by an off-stream area that many of the deer bedded in during the fawning season. Now, Fianna didn't have the training to actually arrest anyone, so she always had to wait for backup. When she went to check things out, Fianna caught a local politician and his friends poaching many of the deer in a clearing, leaving the does dead and sawing the antler racks off of bucks. While Fianna tried to wait for backup, her temper got the best of her and she told the men to freeze, game officers were on their way to arrest them. The politician chuckled at the feisty redhead and said, [i]"No one is coming out here, little lady." [/i] Then he decided to play 'The Most Dangerous Game' with Fia. The politician and his buddies ganged up on Fianna and ripped her clothes until all she had on was her underclothes. They had chased her told her that she had a five-minute headstart before they would hunt her down and make a real woman out of her before taking her life. Fianna's bare feet ran as fast as she could go. She stepped on sticks and sharp rocks that cut at her feet, tripped over tree roots, and split open her shins when she tried to climb a small rock wall. The men chased her for miles, taunting her, as they hooped and hollered at what a great trophy she would be. Fianna couldn't stop, she wouldn't let them have the satisfaction of catching her so easily but they did. They caught her and proceed to do the most unsavory things to her before they threw her off a nearby cliff. While she laid bloodied and broken on the forest floor, a woman in a white aura came to her aid. The woman was kind and warm, she laid a gentle hand on Fia's cheek and gave the girl a gentle smile. She offered Fianna the chance to live and take revenge on those who have wronged her in exchange for being her vessel. Fia filled with anger, accepted and became Abnoda, the goddess of the forests, rivers, and streams, servant and protector of all that the goddess holds dear. And as for that politician and his buddies, they never returned back to camp that night. Only Fianna knows what happened and she isn't going to tell.

[color=ed145b][B][ POWERS ][/B][/color] -Perfect aim with a bow and arrow: Fianna prefers not to use violence if she doesn't have to or until she hits a breaking point. The goddess Abnoda gave her a special bow and quiver. Any arrows that are let loose of the bow end where ever Fianna targets them. -Sleath: She is able to walk in the forest without a sound. After all, how can she hunt those that have done crimes against nature loudly? The downfall is that she must be barefoot in order to use her stealth accordingly. -Can control/communicate some aspects of nature. Fianna has the ability to bend plants and animals to her will and make them do her bidding. She is limited to how much control can be bestowed upon a creature. For example, she can control mice with a snap of her finger because of their tendencies to be conditioned easily but she has convince an ancient willow tree that she will be respectful and kind to them in order to use their branches for aid. Another instance is that she can cause a flower to bloom in winter but needs to earn the respect of a bear to be able to control them.
