[*] [color=f26522][b]Eye Color:[/b][/color] Heterochromia (Right eye is green and the left one is blue) [*] [color=f26522][b]Hair Color:[/b][/color] Ginger. [*] [color=f26522][b]Personal Style:[/b][/color] Faye often wears light clothes, favoring comfortable and easy to move with. Her style is undeniably all over the place. Dynamic and unpredictable, much like Faye herself, she can be found wearing punk-ish clothes, with her signature splash of colors or even light, summer dresses. While Faye does, sometimes wear rather revealing clothes it is not because she wants to show her body (especially since she doesn't really care about doing so), but simply because they're comfortable and easy to move with, which coupled with seems to be one of the main things she looks for when buying new clothes, other than being 'cute'. She absolutely loathes formal clothes. [/list] [i][b][color=f26522][center][h3]Personality:[/h3][/center][/color][/b][/i] Faye has a very cheerful and carefree behavior. Her energetic, curious and rather innocent personality coupled with those aspects and the fact that she is a rather whimsical and unpredictable girl make her a person that you either love or hate, most of the times, having no in between. Always moving and having a problem with both staying quiet and obeying 'orders', she can indeed be quite problematic to deal with or to keep under control. On the other hand though, she can be a very sweet girl, caring about how others feel and even trying to cheer them up if they're feeling down. While Faye has no problems being by herself, she also does like being around people, even being rather talkative due to her curiosity if people give her attention. She is also very easy to approach and befriend. Even though Faye can be a bit of an airhead and easily distracted, she is surprisingly intelligent when the situation asks her to be. Due to her personality if someone doesn't keep an eye on her, she can and will wander away to do her own things if they don't manage to keep her attention. Needless to say, despite her strong abilities, she is quite a handful to be kept under control, both due to her 'free' nature and her habit to use her ability freely. The fact that she doesn't respond well to people being aggressive or hostile with her is also a bit problematic. Although she isn't someone that easily resorts to violence, she will retaliate if the situation shows unavoidable. It is a known fact that she can be bribed by things she is interested in though. [i][b][color=f26522][center][h3]Magical Abilities and Skills:[/h3][/center][/color][/b][/i] [color=f26522][b]Skills:[/b][/color] [list] [*] [color=f26522][b]Flexibility and Acrobatics:[/b][/color] Due to Faye having trained at the gym since she was young, she developed a very flexible body, being able to perform acrobatics without much trouble. [*] [color=f26522][b]Dexterity and Agility:[/b][/color] Again due to Faye's childhood having being spent mostly running, climbing on trees and on the gym, her body, albeit not suited to hand to hand combat (both due to her size, weight and being rather fragile in that aspect) is fast, agile and dexterous, which is further enhanced by her light and petite body frame. [*] [color=f26522][b]Cooking:[/b][/color] Surprisingly, Faye does like to cook and became quite good at it (after creating a few dozen dishes that could be considered a bio-hazard for anyone tasting it). Especially making sweets and deserts, since those are things that she likes the most. [*] [color=f26522][b]Artistic Talent:[/b][/color] Faye's creativity coupled with the few classes she took when she was young gave her a wide array of artistic talents. From singing and playing the piano to drawing and painting. [/list] [color=f26522][b]Magic:[/b][/color] [list] [*] [color=f26522][b]Fae Blood:[/b][/color] While being a Half-Fae makes Faye highly sensitive to magic and being able to control her own magic almost instinctively and thus, being able to use her abilities freely, it also affects her negatively. Exposure to high concentrations of dark magic or any kind of magic that is contrary to more natural types of magic does have a very negative mental impact on Faye, making her feel incredibly uncomfortable and getting worse the closer she gets to said magic source and according to it's intensity. Depending on these variables it can get bad to the point that it begins affecting Faye not only mentally, but making her feel physically bad and weak, making her unable to use her magic properly. [/list] [hider=Blink] The user can immediately and freely teleport itself anywhere in a range of 20m in a sphere around itself. It can be only used up to three times in quick succession, having to wait at least three seconds before being able to use them again. While the user [i]can[/i] blink someone together with them the user makes physical contact with said person, the limit for consecutive jumps becomes only one, due to the added effort of blinking someone else than just the user. Additionally, the user can also blink small inanimate objects touched by them, such as knifes, spikes, stones or anything else, shooting them towards their target at a high speed (About the same speed of a modern, low caliber gun with subsonic ammo), which consists in the only offensive capability of this power, which is normally only used for mobility. [/hider] [hider=Portals] The user can tear open portals, linking one place in the space to another. The transmission is immediate and whatever it was transported keeps the same speed and momentum that entered the portal. While opening small portals (up to the size of a person) from short to medium distances is instantaneous, opening portals for longer distances and bigger portals (in size) do take a bit of time and require concentration from the caster to keep working. The effort needed to keep the portal open also gets higher if a big number people or things go through it. Differently from her blink though, it does require either line of sight or previous knowledge of the location the portal will be opened to. [/hider] [color=f26522][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] [list] [*] [color=f26522][b]Weighted Steel Spikes:[/b][/color] Simple, common weighted steel spikes without anything special. Used by Faye as projectiles by using her blink ability. [*] [color=f26522][b]Combat Knife:[/b][/color] Simple, standard use combat knife. [/list] [i][b][color=f26522][center][h3]History/Bio:[/h3][/center][/color][/b][/i] Born in London as the youngest daughter of an old and prestigious family, Faye was raised in the Hayward's family estate, an incredibly old mansion in Knightsbridge. Starting her education early, the Hayward family hoped that she would follow her older sister Victoria's steps, who was seen as a model daughter, intelligent, talented and polite. In the beginning, her education was coming out nicely, with her showing a remarkable aptitude to learn and even showing interest in magic, thanks to her older sister's influence, whom often told her bedtime stories while using ice magic to make small ice sculptures of the characters and locations. Everything changed when Faye went to visit the small mansion the family had near the Dartmoor National park, which was often used on holidays and vacations. When she was going for a small evening walk with her mother and her older sister, Faye simply disappeared when she stopped to pick a flower on a bush near the trail they were walking. The incident was an incredibly strange one. There was no track left behind, no noise or anything strange. Faye had simply disappeared. Despite her family's efforts to find her, contacting even the authorities and even trying to use magic to locate her, they had no success even after two entire weeks, when the authorities stopped searching for Faye and began searching for a body. After four weeks of search, when the efforts had already began to die, Faye was finally found. Strangely enough, the young Faye was found standing nearby the same place she disappeared a month ago, wearing the same clothes, which were strangely clean and even more strangely, decorated with vines, flowers and wearing a small crown of fresh flowers over her head. Other than her clothes, a few other changes were noticed on her appearance, like her hair, which was now a vivid ginger and her previously brown eyes, which had changed colors, one to green and the other to blue. She was strangely calm for the situation she was in, almost as if she was happy and excited instead of being afraid. While the Haywards were ecstatic that her youngest daughter had been found, on the first days of her return, it became apparent that something had changed on Faye, more than just her appearance. Being much more active than she was before, mischievous and whimsical, Faye was nothing like the well behaved, quiet child she was before, almost as if she was a different person. When previously Faye would ask Victoria to tell her stories, now Faye was the one who told them. Faye's eyes had a wild, untamed glow to them as she told her family stories about the fairies she met while she was in the woods and how they had invited them to where they lived. Her parents already had a suspicion of what was happening, but it was only confirmed when her sister, Victoria, discovered how Faye seemed to be everywhere in the house at once, catching her on the act just after she had left her on her room, arriving on the kitchen just in time to see Faye suddenly appearing near the dining table, trying to steal one of the freshly baked cookies their mother had vehemently warned them that they were for the afternoon tea. Knowing what Faye was now capable of doing, her mother and her father finally came to a conclusion. The stories about Fae blood running in the family turned out to be true... It was indeed true that they had Fae blood in their veins and apparently, it was incredibly strong on Faye, enough for her to be called a Half-Fae. It was very hard for the Haywards to get used to not only what Faye was now, but her new personality. She was incredibly energetic, vibrant and happy. While they were happy to see their daughter having such fun and shining so brightly every day, it was undeniable that she had inherited more than just the magic from her Fae blood. The month she had spent with them made her see the world more like how they see it and less how humans do. Whimsical, mischievous and untamed, Faye was an impossible child to keep under control. Dresses and more formal clothes would often end up in tatters in an astounding speed as she climbed trees to eat the fruits, chased butterflies and even got out to play in the rain. Not only that, but the child was especially troublesome, since she would use her ability freely on her day to day. Her parents had to get... creative to educate her... After all, it was really hard to keep someone who could freely blink around 'grounded'... As Faye grew up, her parents slowly got used to dealing with her and found out that the best thing they could do was to give her as much freedom as they could, while providing her many different activities for her to use her energy and creativity... Otherwise it was almost certain she would somehow get herself into trouble. Thanks to the many activities they put Faye into, such as gymnastics, painting, athletics, they managed to at least make her attend normal education. If one was capable to somehow deal with her rather short attention span, she showed herself to be a surprisingly good student. Especially on subjects she was interested on. As she grew older though, her unique situation, coupled with the strange news of her disappearance years ago, finally caught the attention of the OMR, which requested her presence to study her situation, test and register her magic's limits and possibly offer her a career if she was interested. Encouraged by her family and without any reason to reject the offer, Faye moved to Germany when she completed 18 years in order to present herself to the OMR, both for the tests and registration and to apply as a potential recruit.

She often sends small gifts for Faye when she isn't able to visit her. [*] Much to her co-workers' dismay (or anyone who constantly is around Faye), she often likes playing tricks on others, mainly due to the influence of her Fae blood. [*] Faye has a very good relationship with the Fairies due to both her heritage, her blood and the fact that she spent a month under their care. Thanks to that and to how close she is from natural magic, most deities with natural origins, even the more 'recluse' ones might see her as much 'closer' to themselves than normal humans.

The implications of the potential discoveries far outweigh the risks. Both that and after Gremarre's royalty not only allowed her, but specifically requested her to do so. [color=gray][b]Place of Residence:[/b][/color] Gremarre Kingdom, Gremarre[/center] [hr] [center][color=gray][h2][b]Appearance:[/b][/h2][/color] If gods are real, they definitely blessed Catherine with her beauty. Standing at an above-average 1,75m, Catherine has a lean, athletic and elegant body. Blessed with perfect bodily proportions, from her hair, often kept in a slightly disheveled braid, to her long legs, calling Catherine a beauty is often an understatement. Catherine seems to have a very unique style of clothing, often favoring more function than form, as it is evident by her signature, red overcoat, which seems to be custom tailored to her own needs, with dozens of places to hold potions, vials as well as internal pockets for ingredients and reagents. Interestingly enough, Catherine's taste for clothes seems to fit her perfectly well. Her functional and elegant style complement her height in a beautiful manner and even the red overcoat seems to give her an unique 'touch' in her appearance. Other than that, despite her rather... 'unique', fashion sense, she is not oblivious to the beauty she was graced with, which is shown by how silky and well taken care of her hair is and the fact that her skin is always perfect (undoubtedly, thanks to her knowledge in Alchemy. Rumors are that queens would definitely start a war if they knew the tonics and skin care products Catherine is able to create and has been using for some time). Underneath her elegant looks are hidden quite potent muscles though. Due to her unique physiology, result of years of self-experimentation with poisons, potions, tonics and many other things, the muscle fibers in her body became compressed and reinforced, giving Catherine enough strength to compete against a bodybuilder, while keeping her body lean and elegant. The rather unique mix of potent muscles with a light weight frame give Catherine rather unique physical capabilities. [/center] [hr] [center][color=gray][h2][b]Personality:[/b][/h2][/color] Most of the times, Catherine is an enthusiastic and very energetic person. Her wild personality and unruly behavior does make her quite at home among many adventurers, whom, despite how infamous she is, often enjoy having her for a drink. Catherine shows interest to those who share her views, are interested in her work or those she considers her 'friends'. Despite her quirks and being somewhat hard to deal with, she still values friendship and camaraderie (even though it is rare for others to approach her enough to become more than 'drinking buddies'). That said, she shows a complete lack of interest on people who dont share her views, often outright ignoring them should they not have anything worthwile to say to her. Most of people in Gremarre find her hard to deal with, both because she openly despises those who speak ill of her regardless of their status, but still come to her when needed and because she accepts no interference in her job nor any 'suggestions' regarding her methods. Being rather infamous for her dangerous research and experiments, unorthodox (and unethical) methods, Catherine often finds it very hard for her to get her hands into materials for her research, both due to their rarity and due to petty reasons from half of the academic society, which still dislike her after she wounded their pride when she arrived on Gremarre. Due to that, she has taken this 'supply' problem into her own hands, which wasn't exactly hard, since she was already an adventurer before arriving in Gremarre. In combat situations, Catherine shows herself to be rather difficult to control. With little to no regards to collateral damage, the chaos she created in combats quickly became a nightmare to both enemies and allies alike by making unrestricted usage of poisons, explosive mixtures and some even worse compounds she created. While she is definitely a force to be reckoned with when by herself, she doesn't make any effort to work as a team and if the party she is working with does not know how to deal with her, they might find it easier to just stay out of her way and let her take care of things by herself. [/center] [hr] [center][color=gray][h2][b]Biography:[/b][/h2][/color] Little is known about Catherine's origins before she arrived on Gremarre as an adventurer other than the infamous record she holds in the Adventurer's Guild and the nickname she received, the "Walking Disaster". While she claims to be the daughter of a famous adventurer and an alchemist which had connections to the academic society in Gremarre, it's unknown if her claims are true or not, since both the adventurer she named seems to have either disappeared or be dead and the alchemist, while indeed having been once a promissing student from one of the academies in Gremarre, died from a contagious disease a few years ago after she left Gremarre. Despite the unclear origins though, almost immediately upon arriving in Gremarre, Catherine estabilished herself as an unparalelled genius after openly and publicly interrupting and debating with scholars in the middle of an academic conference, disproving and debunking the theory that was being discussed while revealing the errors in their research. While that little stunt did earn her the enmity of half of the academic society, it did attract the attention of many eyes, including Gremarre's royal family, which saw great potential in such a genius, despite her rather... 'dangerous' personality and the complaints regarding her experiments and the methods she used, coming from both the Adventurer's Guild and especially the staff members that are tasked to cleaning up her mess afterwards. Even though she was unfit to occupy any seat of importance due to obvious reasons, the royal family still considered her to be too valuable to throw away and at the same time, too dangerous to not keep an eye on as long as she was in their city, thanks to the trail of destruction and chaos she often left on her wake due to her recklessness and the 'experiments' she often made. Instead of labeling her as a dangerous individual and not allowing her to stay in the city, they made a small proposal to Catherine. As long as she agreed to provide them consultation and assistance in case her talents were needed and agree to periodically research and study subjects the royal family was interested in, they would not only give her complete freedom to make her own research and experiments, but would also provide a particular laboratory near the borders of the city, along with an yearly research funding to help her finance her studies. [/center] [hr] [center][color=gray][h2][b]Abilities:[/b][/h2][/color] [color=silver][h3]Hand-to-hand combat:[/h3][/color] What started only as a hobby of practicing martial arts in order to keep her body healthy, ended up evolving into an unique fighting style thanks to her body's unique constitution and became incredibly useful once she became an adventurer. Catherine makes use of not only punches and kicks, but her entire body in combat, including acrobatic moves, choke holds and even using her anatomy knowledge to strike joints and other weak spots. [color=silver][h3]Unique Physiology:[/h3][/color] Years of using herself as a guinea-pig for testing potions, tonics, poisons and venoms due to the lack of willing subjects gave Catherine a rather unique body physiology. Her muscle fibers are both compressed and reinforced, giving her enough strength to compete against a bodybuilder without changing her body mass or flexibility and agility... As long as she is anchored on the ground in order to make up for the weight difference. In combat, most of her strength doesn't come from her body weight, but instead the explosive acceleration she is able to produce when punching, kicking or her mobility, being able to both easily jump over and use acrobatic moves in order to reposition herself and move herself in a very quick and agile manner. This unique physiology also gives Catherine an incredible resistance to most venoms, poisons and toxins, along with making her skin resistant to corrosion and burns. The tradeff to that is that most beneficial potions and tonics that are normally used to heighen one's physical capabilities or senses to have a minimal effect on her, with the exception of healing potions. Her dulled sense of pain also means that she can fight despite being wounded, although it can be rather dangerous for Catherine, since thanks to that, she can reach the point of overexerting herself enough to tear her muscles apart without realizing if she doesn't pay enough attention. [color=silver][h3]Combat Alchemy:[/h3][/color] Catherine makes use of a myriad of potions, venoms and mixtures while fighting, both throwing vials and making use of [url=https://i.postimg.cc/sf0rqm8K/23a35c96b3fbc64468bef4c2810e6007.jpg]special gloves[/url] she had made for herself. From paralyzing venom and liquid nitrogen to explosive and incendiary mixtures to corrosive acids. [/center] [center][color=gray][h2][b]Miscellaneous Facts:[/b][/h2][/color] - Catherine often likes to play pranks on people that are unaware of her unique 'physiology', such as challenging them to drinking contests, arm wrestling or even races. - While most of the staff-members from the Adventurer Guild really dislike her, the adventurers herself often enjoy her company, as she seems to identify herself with the most 'rowdy' type of adventurers. - Catherine started learning martial arts as a hobby in order to keep her body healthy after extended periods of time stuck inside of her lab when researching left her with recurrent cramps and stiff muscles.
