Age: 18
Gender: Female
Powers:
User can create and manipulate illusions , causing people to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist or cause them to perceive things differently from what they truly are. Some users can create complex and detailed worlds, others may be able to only alter the way they or the target are perceived.
/Applications/
- Illusive Appearance: Most users who are not exactly combat savvy would use their ability as a defense mechanism to camouflage themselves, and even alter their physical appearance to look like someone or something else.
/Techniques/
- Illusion Physiology: User is made up of or can transform their body completely into illusion. Users transformed form can be either anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of illusion, in which case it contains all to organs and is somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Alternately user can transform into homogenous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.
Species: Imp
Species Lore: Originating from Germanic folklore, the imp was a small lesser demon. Imps were often mischievous rather than evil or harmful (demons in Germanic legend were not necessarily evil), and in some regions, they were portrayed as attendants of the gods.
Imps are often shown as small and not very attractive creatures. Their behavior is described as being wild and uncontrollable, much the same as fairies, and in some cultures, they were considered the same beings, both sharing the same sense of free spirit and enjoyment of all things fun. It was later in history that people began to associate fairies with being good and imps with being malicious and evil. However, both creatures were fond of pranks and misleading people. Most of the time, the pranks were harmless fun, but some could be upsetting and harmful, such as switching babies or leading travelers astray in places with which they were not familiar. Though imps are often thought of as being immortal, many cultures believed that they could be damaged or harmed by certain weapons and enchantments, or be kept out of people's homes by the use of wards.
Personality: Edel seems just like a normal girl with fancy tastes - a little superfluous sometimes, rash too. Further down, she's possessive, insecure, and distrusting - and overly passionate. Once you're hers, you're hers forever - a result from being a little too distant when she was young, making her clingy to people for whom she cares and loves (though she probably wouldn't admit it).
She is easily enchanted by the charm of whimsical trinkets, and can sometimes be seen as vain and shallow (especially about looks, although her own are not stellar anyway). If she doesn't find a reason to distrust you though, she may naively do so, since she truly desires people she can be close with. Those who give her care and love may notice her reliance on them. Sometimes she can be seen as childish and easily offended, especially regarding her insecurity about her flaws, or mistakes.
When Edel starts to become suspicious of something, she might jump to conclusions easily and act recklessly upon them.

Strengths:

Weaknesses(Must have at least three):
- Some users might have to limit the amount of mental powers to control the illusion.
- User may be unable to create accurate illusions, such as making things that don't exist or situations that would never happen in a million years. One common mistake is misplacing a feature on a person, or forgetting to add shadows to their forms.
- (For Illusive Appearance)If consciously used, being knocked unconscious will make the user drop their illusion.
- (For Illusion Physiology)May need practice to change back.
- Not too great at fighting, she does have the occasional mess-up and because of this her opponents have the upper hand.
History: Edel grew up in a modest household with only her mother since her father was an unknown man. That didn't bother her though and she lived a content if bored life in their coastal village, often she would dream of going on adventures. Her mother was the village's florist and would tend to the various flora and fauna that were grown in the shop. She also acted as a healer with her extensive knowledge of various herbs and plants. Edel, as a child, would often watch her mother as she made various concoctions for cuts, burns and other small injuries and so knows a bit of amateur potions and remedies.
Her coastal village was hidden from the Human eye, this was on purpose. The village knew they were feared, but they wanted nothing more than a peaceful life, but humans were savage and brutal.
On the day of her 18th birthday, the village was found and humans invaded, their weapons were too strong allowing the village people to be finally taken and placed in the camps.
