Physique
Kiana is a girl of somewhat short stature, standing at just under 5’5” and weighing 115 pounds. Her hair is a darker shade of pink that reaches to her shoulder blades. Most of the time, Kiana keeps her hair in a ponytail. She often wears thin, loose clothing that she feels comfortable in, as well as some basic wood sandals. Kiana walks with a rather obvious attitude, keeping her chin high and shoulders back. She does not shy away from eye contact, and has a habit of brushing her bangs away from her face. Her guild mark is on the lower right of her abdomen.
The Persona
Personality
The best description of Kiana can be summed up in one word: attitude. No matter the situation, Kiana is not afraid to speak her mind or be honest, even at the cost of someone else’s feelings. She does not shy away from people, though she prefers being alone more often than not. She is not easily provoked, and is more than capable of ignoring petty insults; however, she finds it difficult to back down from a challenge, and jumps at any opportunity to prove herself. She is extremely prideful, and has a hard time taking a loss, especially in front of others. As a result of this, she also has a hard time asking for help from others.
Despite her attitude, Kiana respects authority, and isn’t afraid to admit to her faults and weaknesses. She has a deeply-ingrained work ethic and an intrinsic sense of motivation; in other words, if you give her a task, she will get it done no matter how difficult. Kiana has a strong moral compass and a deep desire to help others, despite her abrasive personality. She always does her best to help make the world a better place, and she won’t shy away from any chance to do so.

Brief Bio
Kiana Sonitus was born into a relatively simple life, in a quiet town called Lilycrest. As an only child, she received a great deal of attention from her parents, who owned a small inn. Her mother was a retired singer who used magic to enhance her singing voice, while her father inherited the inn from his parents. Travelers would buy a few drinks, settle in for the night, and be on their way. It made the family decent money, and soon enough it became a well-known pit stop for anyone passing through town. But as the inn gained popularity, it attracted some less-than-desirable attention. Groups of bandits took a liking to the place and began to terrorize the other patrons, as well as Kiana’s parents. Eventually, Lilycrest became a notorious haven for thieves and bandits, who took advantage of the townspeople’s fear. It seemed like they would never leave.
One day, a brave citizen of Lilycrest managed to send word of the town’s predicament to a nearby guild: Dragon Heart. Within a week, a group of mages appeared, driving every outlaw away from Lilycrest and into the custody of the authorities. Kiana watched from her window as these powerful mages summoned bolts of lightning, transformed themselves into animals, and even breathed fire. When the dust settled, Lilycrest was free, and her life returned to normal. However, Kiana felt a sudden realization dawn on her: she wanted to be like those mages. She wanted to be one of those powerful heroes who used their abilities to make the world better. So when her magic began to manifest at the tender age of 14, Kiana knew she had found her purpose.
With a great deal of persistence, Kiana convinced her mother to teach her magic. While her mother’s magic was centered around manipulating music, she helped to teach Kiana a more generalized version, which was more applicable to combat. Soon, Kiana became quite proficient, even chasing away some of the rowdier tavern patrons. At the age of 17, she set off to Rosa Blanca, her mind set on only one goal: joining Dragon Heart.
The Mage
Magic
Sound Magic
Description
Sound Magic, in essence, grants Kiana control over soundwaves. She can manipulate these soundwaves in a variety of ways, and generate them from any place on her body. While these soundwaves are largely invisible to the human eye, Kiana generates red sparks upon creating them. These soundwaves are also loud, as each spell creates a loud noise upon being cast. While users of sound magic tend to focus on mid-range and long-range combat, Kiana specializes in close-quarters combat; she does this by using her soundwaves to enhance her physical abilities. However, this makes her rather vulnerable to attacks from a distance, as it requires her to get close to an opponent; she also has no true defensive spells to protect her from such a ranged attack.
Spells
By touch, Kiana can transmit a soundwave from her hand to another person. This can send targets flying, and feels like a strong percussive force.
This spell is similar to Sound Palm, except that it comes from her foot rather than her hand. Kiana sends a soundwave from her foot to her opponent, creating a strong force that can send them flying.
Kiana generates a burst of soundwaves from her whole body, sending them out in every direction. This spell works best against multiple opponents, allowing Kiana to avoid being ganged up on.
Kiana uses soundwaves to push an object or person, even from a distance. Most of the time, she uses this ability to propel herself forward at high speeds, adding more power to her attacks. She can also use it to move individual parts of her body faster; for instance, she can punch faster by using soundwaves to push her arm forward.
This spell is simple, yet devastating. By screaming, Kiana generates an incredibly loud sound that causes a great deal of pain to anyone that hears it. In addition, anyone in her immediate vicinity will likely get thrown backward. This ability affects anyone around her-even her allies-and as such is very dangerous.
Items
For the belongings she carries with her, Kiana has a small backpack. Inside are:
•A copy of the book Intensity: Extreme Workouts that she uses as a training guide.
•A set of weights that she can strap to her arms and legs.
•A pair of magic headphones.
Miscellaneous
•Due to the nature of her magic, Kiana is a skilled martial artist.
•Despite her small frame, Kiana is very physically strong. This is due to her frequent exercising, in which she focuses on strength.
•Most of the time, she straps weights to her arms and legs.
•Kiana’s mother is relatively famous. On occasion, Kiana will get comments from older fans of her mother about resembling her.
