[b]Full Name:[/b] Convallaria Nucifera Belrose

[b]Nickname(s):[/b] For the love of everything, don’t use her full name. She only ever uses Valla (VAL-uh). Important paperwork excluded. Otherwise, only her mother bothers with her full name, and only when she’s in big trouble. 

[b]Name Significance:[/b] Her father was a botanist who ran the flower shop she and her mother inherited from him, and decided that “Lily” was too simple and common of a name. So he’d voted for using the scientific name for the “Lilly of the Valley,” because he hoped his daughter would be “Dangerous, but beautiful,” with part of the scientific name for a lotus as her middle name, because it was her parent’s shared favorite flower. Her mother had originally been against it, but changed her mind when the man died before Valla was born. Valla is still more than a bit bitter about having to learn how to spell her full name.

[b]Age:[/b] 18

[b]Race:[/b] Human, though she’s heard that her father had a hefty dose of magic that helped him grow flowers and such. An ability that has passed on to her in some lesser degree.

[b]Hometown/Home World:[/b] Weirwell

[b]General Appearance:[/b] [u]Height:[/u] About average at 5’4” [u]Hair:[/u] Vivid red that looks like it should be dyed, but it’s natural. She got it from her father’s side. Though she didn’t inherit more than a tiny spark of his family’s powers, she did get the vivid hair that follows their particular bloodline. Like in the picture, she wears it longer in the front than in the back, and it swoops over her right eye, often hiding that half of her face. [u]Eyes:[/u] Silvery blue. Whether they look more silver or more blue depends on how the light hits them. 

[b]Distinguishing Marks:[/b] Her right arm has a series of claw marks that are (at the start) still healing. They span form her elbow to her wrist, with one trailing over the top of her hand. She currently keeps them bandaged. Though she went to a couple healers in town, their magic did little to help. Though they’ve been successful with treating many different wounds from those rare souls who have survived the attacks of the monsters that the townsfolk have dubbed Souleaters, the one that attacked Valla and her brother was different, and the Healer’s powers have proven to hold little, if any, sway; they’re taking longer to heal than what a normal cut should, and she suspects they’ll scar.

[b]Clothes Wear:[/b] [u]Normal:[/u] Normally, either simple blouses and flowing skirts, or  sometimes simple, comfortable pants depending on what she plans on doing that day. [u]Her “Warrior Garb”:[/u] Since finding the Mask, she’s since put together a sort of warrior outfit. An outfit that her Mask has taken to; the last time she donned the Mask to test a theory with it, it changed her clothes to match, even though she’d had no intention of putting the ensemble on. If she wants the outfit to remain when she removes the mask, it will. Her best guess is that whatever enchantment is on the Mask soaked into her outfit. An outfit that consists of: A red bodice with sleeves that taper wide at their opening, a small open portion at her chest. A black corset laced with gold strings cinches narrow waist over the fabric. Black leggings. Tall black boots with a slight heel, the rubber soles and the top rim lined with gold, while matching leafy fillagree decorates the out-facing side of each. A red open-front skirt with a slit in the back to allow for maneuverability in a fight or while prowling around completes the look. The blouse and skirt has gold thorn vines embroidered around their hems.

[b]Accessories:[/b] Some sort of rope belt typically hangs at her waist. Under normal situations, it’s a simple black or brown. With her “Warrior Garb,” it’s black and gold. She keeps a black leather pouch with a ruby-like stone set up to hide its snap clasp. She can fit a fair amount in it, considering its size. Comes in handy. Otherwise, she isn’t a fan of accessories. They really just get in the way.

[b]Prized Possession(s):[/b] Besides her Mask, her older brother’s journal. He was the secretive sort, and wrote the whole thing in code. She’s always wondered what it says, and if he’d written in it like that to keep it secret from her or their mother—if not both. It’s a small, leatherbound thing, its cover well-worn and singed, and its pages almost completely filled with his strange, small runes. 

[b]Occupation:[/b] Often stocks, mans, and grows the flowers for Fortune’s Flora, the best flower shop (and only one worthwhile, according to their customers) in town. She and her mother usually work together, though since her brother’s funeral—if you could really call it that—the woman has taken up doing most of it, hoping to give Valla the time she needs to grieve.

[b]Weapon(s):[/b] Currently a bow staff and a dagger that had belonged to her brother. She often straps the dagger to one end of her staff, creating a polearm. No matter how hard she looked after he fought off the Souleaters, she couldn't find the sword he fought with. Both are pretty simple and plain. But her uncle, who is the only person she’s outright told about the powers of the Mask she found among her brother’s possessions, is currently working on making her a sword. Her brother taught her to wield both kinds of weapons, though where [i]he[/i] learned how to use them, he refused to say. He’d always laugh, wink at her, then either walk away or force her to focus on her defensive rather than on her curiosity.

[b]Personality:[/b] With her brother’s death still fresh, she is struggling to get back to normal daily tasks. To most others (her uncle excluded), she comes off as either borderline emotionless, or wrathful. She’s filled with anger, vengeance, and sorrow. All she wants is to find and destroy the Souleater that killed him, and hope that helps quell some of the guilt burning inside her. She’s mostly coiled into herself, letting her grief boil into other, more dangerous emotions rather than let the hurt out. However, she’s found that when she wears the Mask she discovered, some of her old fire and spunk return, though whether that’s because it gives her the abilities to kill the Souleaters, thus getting her that much closer to the vengeance she desires, or has something to do with the Mask itself, she’s not entirely sure.

[b]Mask:[/b] Mask of Fangs and Fate. Like the provide picture, her mask is in the shape of a tiger. It only just covers her nose, leaving her mouth open. Made from soft, but durable leather, it has a black background, with red stripes outlined in gold. Gold lines the eyes, creates the whisker spots on its nose, and outlines the ears. It has no ties to keep it on, instead using its own magic to adhere itself to her face. It won’t come off unless she takes it off, and since it’s claimed her, it’s essentially “soulbound” to her—if someone tried to steal it, it would return to her. Likewise, she’s capable of summoning it with a thought, but its powers will only activate if she’s wearing it.

[b]Mask Abilities:[/b] [u]Heightened Senses:[/u] Enhances her sight (which, yes, meanst that despite it going partially over her eyes, it doesn’t impede her sight), hearing, smell, and taste. [u]Physical Prowess:[/u] Enhances her reflexes, strength, and speed. [u]Stealth:[/u] It dampens the sounds of her movements, allowing her to move in complete, light-footed silence. [u]Tiger Physiology:[/u]  She can choose to grow claws (long and black). And outside her control, whether she wants them or not, she ends up with a tail, which matches the Mask (black fur with gold-lined red stripes), and her canine teeth (top and bottom) and two adjacent teeth stretch and sharpen into subtle fangs. [u]Weapon Boost:[/u] This is rather limited, and has a tie-in with her overall strengths. It enhances her skills with the staff, sword, and dagger. While she isn’t the greatest at fighting with them without the Mask (she knows enough to defend herself, but she’d only been training with her brother off and on for a couple years), with it, her prowess with these weapons is enhanced, which is further complimented by the Mask’s other abilities.

[b]Major Mask Weakness:[/b] While the Mask can make her feel like she has more stamina than she normally would, it’s a dangerous illusion. The Mask’s abilities make it difficult for the wearer to notice or even, well, entirely mask her body’s fatigue until she takes it off, where it will catch up to her all at once. While Valla has yet to overdo it to a point where she’s collapsed as soon as she takes it off, she does have a budding suspicion about it with how drained she’s felt a few times after wearing it. Though, at the RP start, she does suppose it could just be her own adrenaline wearing off at the end of the night. If she wore the Mask constantly, but gave her body time to rest, it would rejuvenate it and help stave off this effect.

[b]Other Magic Abilities:[/b] She has the minor ability to help coax plant life to grow quickly, and to enhance its appearance. She’s only ever used this on the flowers Fortune’s Flora, enhancing the appearance of the plants, making flowers grow quicker and even out of season, and stay fresh longer after they’re picked.

[b]Family:[/b] [u]Mother:[/u] Arianna [u]Father (Deceased): Kittrick [/u] [u]Brother (Recently Deceased):[/u] Dianthus (five-years Valla’s elder) (Everyone called him Anthus. “Dianthus” is part of the scientific term for carnations. Her mother had caved in letting their father name him. He was among the firsts to die fighting the Souleaters) [u]Uncle:[/u] Tate Belrose (He was adopted. Which, let’s just say, is very obvious…)
