Gender: Female
Species/Race: Spirit Guide
Powers: Little Feather harnesses an old wooden flute, with wooden carvings of animals along the sides of it. With this flute she can summon forth spirit animals to assist her.
Current Spirits she can summon:
Bear=Strength/Rage. Bear is the only spirit that does not boost Little Feather when he is summoned. He is a being unto himself, he will not go out of his way to protect Little Feather and will instead directly attack whomever Little Feather asks him to. He has powerful front paws with long claws that he will swing wildly at his opponent, he has super human strength which helps him against supernatural opponents but his blind rage hinders him as he has no attack strategy.
Butterfly= Clairvoyance. When summoned butterfly will instantly set out along the best path to Little Feathers objective, able to lead any willing lost souls home. Butterfly will respond to Little Feathers inner desires, meaning if she doesn't have a clear idea of where she is going Butterfly will choose for her, which may lead her to reveal things Feather doesn't want her to. She can lead a path through any place or realm but is extremely fragile and susceptible to attack, she works well with the trickster spirit Fox. She is at her most effective when summoned alongside Dragonfly. She glows with a faint purple light, leaving a colorful glittering dust cloud in her wake as a trail, this substance can slide through Little Feathers barrier without hindrance. Little Feather will protect Butterfly with a barrier to aid in her survival. Butterfly has to be actively dismissed or destroyed to return to the spirit world.
Eagle=Healing When Eagle is summoned he renews Little Feathers life force, he spreads a healing cloud across injured champions with a beat of his wings though the healing isn't fantastic and the more people it covers the less effective it gets.
Panther=Protection. When Panther is summoned he creates force fields of protection, mind you he could probably only create a dome around him of about 25m2. When he is summoned he makes Little Feathers force fields more resilient against attack, and will take any damage dealt to her barriers as well as his own.
Dragonfly=Light Dragonfly is a passive summon, he brings light to wherever he goes. He is one of the only spirit animals that isn't on a timer when he crosses over from the spirit world. He'll fly around peacefully spreading light and minding his own business, he has to either be dismissed by Little Feather or destroyed before he leaves. He doesn't give Little Feather any extra abilities, but helps her deal with her fear of the dark.
-Each spirit can lend Little Feather one of their abilities, when they are summoned forth they become solid. Certain animals have long term effects on Little Feather.
-She can heal others with her own life force.
-She can create small force fields to protect herself and others, these are more powerful is Panther is present.
Lion=Family (Lion is Little Feathers family, he keeps her tethered to her past and keeps her from becoming lonely. He is often her voice of reason when she can’t find any, and lends her his courage if she falters)
Lion’s ability: Majestic Roar An ability just for Lion, when Lion roars he produces a sonic wave with a knockback effect. If you have sensitive ears and you’re in the firing line it causes disorientation as well as quite the headache. He has to direct his energy to the roar which means he begins to fade back into the spirit world unable to sustain his solid form
Weaknesses: If she is separated from her flute she can no longer summon the spirit guides and must depend solely on her other abilities. Note: This does not affect Lion’s presence, he will stay. Little Feather is far from invincible; if her barriers are attacked it inflicts damage directly to her either mentally or physically. When she heals a person she is using her own life force, therefore she can’t constantly heal others without putting herself at risk. Each time she heals, she has to meditate undisturbed to regain her lost force. Little Feathers spirit animals can only be in this world for a small amount of time (Gets longer as she progresses) before they are returned to the spirit world, the more damage they take the faster they degrade. Little Feather has a fear of the dark and dislikes guns or loud noises. She
cannot ignore people who need her help. Lion is very dear to her.
Personality:Little Feather is in herself a fairly calm person; brave, kind hearted and strong at her core, she doesn't shy away from conflict but will not openly seek out either. She will stand for what she believes in and is fiercely loyal to her friends. She is near enough useless in a lot of social situations, regularly confusing words in sentences or getting names around the wrong way. Despite this she is all for trying to make friends and communicate with people! She tends to speak her mind without thinking over whether what she is saying could be deemed as offensive or not. She also has an annoying knack for pointing out the obvious...
Little Feather is very trusting and tends to wear her heart on her sleeve leaving it defenceless and easily punctured. She is extremely naive and is at risk of being easily manipulated by those around her, she cannot ignore people in need, always willing to offer her help and guidance regardless of her own feelings or views. She is easily embarrassed by intimate situations, preferring to be among a group of people rather than with just one person, she tends to get very nervous when this happens and is at her most vulnerable.
The most common misconception that people make about Little Feather is that 'what you see is what you get' behind her mask of face paint there are secrets and characteristics many have yet to coax out of hiding...
Background: Little feather was originally born a long time ago among the Native American tribes in the America’s way back in the 1800’s, she knows she was the youngest in her family and her father used to refer to her fondly as ‘Little Feather’. She was one of the unfortunate women to be killed after the massacre of Wounded Knee in the Great Plains. She still remembers snippets of her past before this, but she only really holds on to her people’s beliefs...believing nothing good can come from digging up the past anyway. Little Feather has lived for centuries watching the earth change and shift around her, never once wanting to be a part of it. She knows she was selected to help people, being trained as a healer among her birth tribe elected her a good guardian and her natural affinity with the tribes spirit guides made her a perfect candidate to continue their work
In the end she merged into both, being given the chance to live among the humans and to guide those that she could. She is more of an in-between guide often finding people who are lost and ‘leading’ them to their rightful paths, once they are on their ways she will fade away and allow another spirit guide to take her place.
Over the last few years Little Feather has become restless, after failing to protect her most recent charge her spirits have waned and she has been unable to complete her job having lost her abilities and losing connection with a few of her animal spirits. She has been sent to Athalia Academy in the hope she can regain her lost abilities and hopefully heal her troubled soul. Her spirit friend Lion has accompanied her to Athalia Academy, having stuck by her side throughout everything.

Name: Caleb 'Crash' Waterfront
Nickname: Crash
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species/Race: Shapeshifter (Beast mimicry)
Powers: He can shift into
any animal that he has seen with his own eyes or in an illustration, gaining the abilities of the animal he turns into except for insects. For example: If he became an eagle he would have the ability to fly and have their enhanced sight. He emits a small cloud of harmless purple smoke when he shifts between forms. While in animal form, he retains his human intellect, memories, and the ability to speak. No matter what animal form he takes, his hair and eyes remain red, making most of his animal forms easy to distinguish from real animals of that species. He can mimic other humanoid forms
Weaknesses: He is not invincible; nowhere near in fact he bruises easily and can be beaten down. If he spends prolonged time as an animal there is a high risk of him becoming stuck in that form, requiring a spell or potion to shift him back. Changing into different animals takes up a lot of energy, so he has to pace himself otherwise he’ll burn out quickly. If he transforms into another humanoid form or mythical creature any powers he mimics are greatly diminished in power.
Personality: Crash as he is quite aptly named, is a bit of clutz. (He should in fact never go out in public without hazard lights on both shoulders and a bumper sticker with Warning written on it in bold letters) He’s a good guy at heart and has always played well with others. He just can’t seem to slow himself down, he’s usually full of energy and isn't happy unless he’s busy! It’s a very rare thing indeed for him to be serious or to even slow down enough to consider it; which others can find infuriating at times. He is quite easily distracted which can make him a nightmare in the classroom unless it’s something he is genuinely enthusiastic about then you stand a better chance than anyone. There is some depth to him, he can be sporadically thoughtful or affectionate when he wants to be. He’s loyal and will always be willing to help a friend in need (Though think carefully before asking him, he means well but he’s not always helpful, bull in a china shop springs to mind)
Background: Crash’s parents were not particularly wealthy people, they were both beast shape shifters and preferred to travel rather than stay in one place. So Crash has been moved from one place to another from a very young age, he has no long term friends because of this and has been moved through so many schools he can’t even remember the names for them all. He’s only ever been around humans and has lived under one rule ‘Do not shift in front or near humans’. His parents would take him to certain secluded places every once in a while to teach him to shift. To say the least he was thrilled when they announced he would be going to stay somewhere, which he wouldn't have to worry about hiding who he was anymore.
After being accepted into Athalia Academy, Crash was all set to go there on one condition...his fellow shifter Danny 'Dash' Crawford could accompany him. Dash laughed at the idea and told Crash it was a stupid idea, he didn't need to go to school. The day before Crash was due to leave for Athalia Academy, Dash convinced him to spend his last night out with him for old times’ sake. That night there was a fire in Crash's home, his parents did not survive the blaze...Crash wasn't aware it had happened until the next day, he woke up on a bench with a killer hangover which was normal when Dash took him out. Dash was nowhere to be seen so Crash went home, he came across the taped mess of his house and was immediately leapt on by the police for questioning, they tried to take him away and in his distress Crash struggled to stop himself from shifting, in doing so he became unresponsive and tried to break away from the officers who tried harder to restrain him. Dash came to his rescue, punching a police officer as they tried to apprehend Crash. He followed Dash's lead and fought off the police, before the pair of them bolted from the scene disappearing from view, they were able to shift into animals to throw the police off of their scent.
Dash convinced Crash to forget about the academy and his parent’s accident, encouraging Crash to repress the memory instead of dealing with his loss, the older shifter took Crash away to New York via his contacts. Dash had an apartment in the big city, and allowed Crash to stay with him, despite knowing his friend was involved in shady business Crash found he had little choice in the matter, he did not attend the Academy and instead threw himself into working for a living. Dash became very involved with back ground groups and drugs throughout the city, generally dragging Crash with him though no encouragement convinced Crash to participate in his friend’s addictions. Crash has always stood by Dash even if his friend was in the wrong, he wasn't afraid to tell him what he thought but he'd never abandon him. Patching up Dash's messes became very normal very quickly, Crash was always stitching up Dash after his run ins leading him to study medicine as a side hobby, he was accepted into an apprenticeship with a small time vet surgery despite being advised to not work with animals by any and all shifters he knew. Still he was often dragged along to some of Dash’s ‘jobs’ under false pretenses.
Crash was involved with an underground group of shapeshifters for a while along with Dash, he thought they were good people until he realized they were using their powers to shift 'black market' substances around as well as using their powers to black mail and beat humans around, they harbored a particular hate for humans. This was the last straw for Crash who had been working hard to stay in the legitimate world; he severed all connections with the group even though they had helped him settle his powers, he also gave Dash the choice between him and them. He was surprised when Dash stuck by him and convinced him he wouldn't converse with them anymore. Crash couldn't help shift Dash's hatred of humans though he tried; he personally had no quarrel with them. Crash’s secret weakness was caused by Dash, approximately 2 ½ months ago:
-Hidden content-
Crash threatened to break all ties with Dash that night, returning to his old home which by now had been rebuilt and was occupied by another a family, one Crash did not recognize. This is where he met Mercy; she almost instantly took him in whisking him away to the rest of her group. Crash stayed with them for a month, whilst Mercy worked on getting him accepted back into Athalia Academy. Crash learnt a lot from the unique group of individuals, one of Mercy’s friends helped Crash discover how to mimic other humanoid figures, he was able to master mimicking Pantalaimon to the point he even fooled the mans brother. When Mercy announced Crash had been accepted into Athalia Academy again, Crash instantly packed up his things and got ready to leave. As much as he loved Mercy and the rest of the group, he wasn’t cut out for the frequent misfortune and drama they suffered.
Before leaving for the Academy he returned to Dash to tell him...Crash found Dash in an alley not far from his apartment in the middle of night. He hasn't mentioned what happened that night and left the big city almost immediately. Taking with him his scarce possessions he set out to Athalia Academy.
