Name: Tammy

Species: Meowth

Personality: Tammy likes jewelery a lot. Anything shiny will catch her attention. So she's easily distracted, since there are many shiny things around the world. She'll even steal it if she's sure no one will notice, or rather will notice it was her. Beside her obsession of shiny objects she is very flirty, because males/men often gives jewelery at least the wealthy ones. In many ways, jewelery rules her life.
Tammy hates rain, and water in general, but especially rain. She's terrified by thunderstorms. She's lazy - to sit around all day and play with her jewelery is perfectly normal for her. At least when no one drags her out of the house. She has a hard time saying no, so if her friends want to do something, she will usually go with them.

Appearance: Tammy has black cat ears with brown insides. In the middle of her forhead is the stripped oval gold coin that's so typical for a Meowth. There are beige stripes on both sides of the coin, and two on each cheek. She has a beige tail which curls at the end; the tip is brown. Two of her teeth are long enough to show even when her mouth is closed, looks a little like vampire teeth. Her skin is beige like a Meowth fur; the stripes on her face are a darker beige. She's 5'6". In gijinka form she still has retractable claws. The pads on her hands and feet are thicker and more durable than a human's, but less than a cat's. She's an older teen.
She usually wears brown or beige clothing and always a lot of different jewelery - rings, bracelets, necklaces. Because of her love for jewelery she has a few piercings so she can wear even more shiny things. Those are: two in right ear, one left ear and one in her bellybutton.
[Depending on time and how well it goes I might add a drawing of her.]

Name: Kacha

Species: Pikachu

Personality: Kacha has a short temperament and she will shock you if you annoy her. No questions asked, she calls lightning down on you and then she moves on. But as easy as it is to get her mad, she calms down fast. She's not the smartest and therefore misunderstands things other gijinkas and humans say or do, which leads to her getting mad. She pendles from mad to happy, which can be pretty frustrating for everyone else. She is working on controlling her temper but it's going badly so far.

Appearance: Kacha also as brown stripes around her back, like a Pikachu. Otherwise it's as the picture.

Name: Alice Mary Winter
Age: 17
Gender: EVE
Number: EVE #3
Specialty: Chameleon/Shifting
Personality: Alice have always known that one day her looks would not be as defined. She didn't know exactly how, but she had accepted it and therefore she wasn't very interested in her own looks. That's made her very lonely, since she hasn't been able to identify with girls her age. Even so she's had friends, but never felt like she fit in, and she's been wondering why she feels so different, why she is different. But mostly, she's wondered who she was.

[Guest]

Name: Driana Golden-Performer, daughter of Triana Silver-Singer

Age: 22

Hometown: Tandria, capital of Randi

Location: On a ship about to travel/travelling across the Sen Ocean

Background: Driana was born into a rich family in Tandria. Her father was a well-off tradesman, but it was Driana's mother that earned the family the most money. Triana, Driana's mother, was a famous singer and people from all over the country and outside travelled to her shows.

The social status and duties of the women were unusual in Randi. Instead of their main function being to have children and care for them, the women were supposed to be companions to the men. Their main goal was to entertain in all possible ways, e.g. by dancing, acting, singing, story-telling, playing games, and discussing philosophy and history. This meant they needed an extended education and the richer and nobler the family was the better the education. Driana got one of the best there was and by excelling in all physical aspects of the training she got the surname Performer. The addition of Golden came after winning the nation-wide competition and because she had blonde hair.

At the age of 20, having won the competition only a few weeks earlier, she was presented formally to the court for marriage purposes. A great many men were interested in marrying her, but it was a gentleman from across the Sen Ocean that captured her father's attention. Samuel Torsson was a rich tradesman, and interested in both the renown of having an already famous wife and merge his and Driana's father's trading companies. The negotiations on the marriage and the merger took some time. Driana used it to get to know as much as possible about the land her future husband came from and any interests of his, so she could be the ultimate companion for him. Only a week after Driana's 22 birthday did she board the ship that would take her over the Sen Ocean and to her future home.

Name: Xzadri the Saviour

Age: 16

Physical Description: Xzadri is 5 feet and 1 inch tall, but she still haven't had her growth sprout. She is gangly for her height and her muscles are lean, rather than bulky. Her skin is a shade darker than milk chocolate and most of her hair is black, beside the right half of her bangs, which is a brown-blonde color. For practical reason she keeps her hair only an inch past her shoulders in length and she always keeps it braided, beside the blonde bangs. Her face is still soft and round with youth. Her eyes matches her hair by being a light brown with yellow specks. Prominent cheekbones gives her face some angles and her upper lip is thin.

She usually wears clothing she can fight in. She have never owned skirts, and isn't really interested in getting any. Her clothes is mostly made of leather, the better to protect her than cloth, and it's not like they had a female that could make any kind of cloth in the camp anyway. On her belt she always have a sword and long dagger. The dagger have etchings on the blade. It's a dagger that she got from her father, through one of the warriors. If she ever have to prove that she is her father's daughter, she only has to show the dagger since it's rather famous among the clans. It's perfectly functional in battle too. Xzadri usually have a bow close by too.

Mentality: Xzadri thinks it's unfair that she couldn't grow up with her family because of a "stupid" prophesy. However, that doesn't mean she hates the warriors who raised her. She doesn's understand why a normal life was taken away from her. From time to time, she gets really angry about this, having temper tantrums even at her age (hormones doesn't help the matter). She enjoys fighting a lot, actually any physical activities. Moving around, using her body to its fullest potential is freeing. If she gets strong enough, she can do whatever she wants, and no one could stop her. She wants freedom.

Heritage: All through her childhood she was told about all the great things her father had done, but she could only think about what he didn't do: raise her. Sidnahg, the chieftan of Udapak and Xzadri's father, was a strong and wise leader. He knew that sometimes following tradition was not the right path, for example when he choose not to kill Xzadri. Sidnahg comes from a family of warriors and leaders, were almost all of the first borns have been the chieftan. After the "false" prophecy happened, a lot of the people in Udapak was very angry at Sidnahg and they wanted someone else to take his place. Before that could happen, one of Udapak's allied clans turned their backs to Udapak. Soon the rest of the clans, except Idan, followed. Udapak's clan members realized that if they wanted to survive the alienation, they needed Sidnahg, since he was the one that had gotten them in such good standing from the beginning. They reasoned that if he could do it once, he had to do it twice. Therefore Sidnahg has worked relentlessly for the last 16 years to keep the clan together and alive.

Relationships:
Kilahi the Stone-Faced - Xzadri is never really sure where she stands with Kilahi. He acts as her subordinate and trains her well. She trains hard to please him, since the better she gets the more he seems to like her. When he told her his rule for engaging real opponents, she immediately wanted to do that. She got bored having to be hidden away from the world and just train, and study, train and study. Xzadri likes Kilahi, but she doesn't think he likes her very much.

Ranohg the Wise - Xzadri doesn't like Ranohg much, because she doesn't exist to him; at least that is what she feels. He takes the time to teach her, especially about the prophecy. The rest of the time it's just his studies. Sometimes he is social, but to her it seems so false. She's the prophecy to him, not much else. He keeps a close eye at her, to she what she does and if she's fullfilling the prophecy. That doesn't really make her comfortable.

Vroshk One-Eye - Xzadri likes Vroshk. He states clearly what he expects of her, and makes sure she does everything to the best of her ability. All the time he's trying to push her to become better. He's not an easy teacher, but neither is he cruel. He isn't easy to please, but when she manages it, she feels accomplished. She knows exactly where she stand with him, and due to this she feels compelled to work harder at his lessons, struggling to do the best she can, even if it isn't physical training.

Demroc the Forthright - Xzadri loves Demroc. He behaves as if she is his niece and in return he's like her uncle. To her it feels as if he treats her like a normal person instead of a saviour or object. For his sake, she works hard at mastering the bow and the crafts he teaches her, although she actually likes close combat better. Whenever she needs a shoulder to cry on, or just someone to make her feel normal, she turns to Demroc.

The Teller Barais - Xzadri loves the fun that Barais teaches her. The older she gets the harder it has been for him to do his pranks on her, and the better she have become of pranking the other warriors. Usually she focuses her pranks on those warriors she doesn't like as much and sometimes she tries to pull one on Barais for fun. This is one of the few things that can always lighten her day, although she doesn't like lieing to her teacher, especially Demroc and Vroshk. Xzadri likes Barais and takes what he teaches to heart, because she knows that when brutal force doesn't fix something her mind and tongue just might.

Background
Seacilia was born on Palaugrim. Her parents struggled every day to make ends meet, and during Sea's childhood she was often hungry. When she started to get into her teenage years, it was evident that she would be unusually pretty, and her "career" was decided. She became a prostitute. She worked hard and soon she was working for the finest brothel on Palaugrim. It was a place where all the rich from Lindela visited when they wanted some fun. Seacilia was very vain and went to the pristine knights regularly to get absolved; she didn't want to turn into a monster. She didn't really have much choice when it came to her proffession though, and it was full of sin.

A certain man, Frican, came almost everyday. He was a flatterer, a charmer, and he knew he would soon turn into a Sinner. Frican corrupted Seacilia, made her more sinful. She was in love with him and he asked her to no longer visit the knights. He managed to convince her. Slowly, he charmed her into a more sinful life. When Frican knew he'd start to change in a matter of days, he convinced her to go on a trip with him. They arrived on Tethel shortly after. Frican continued showering her with charm and even got her pregnant. That's when everything started to change.

Frican was starting his tranformation into a Sinner and Seacilia realized she was with child. She was happy, but when Frican heard, he got furious and his transformation went faster due to his wrath. Seacilia was drugged one night and the next time she woke up she was no longer pregnant. The Pure Sinners knew that mothers were too protective of their children; they couldn't allow her to give birth. Instead they managed to alienate Sea further. From that moment on she made war against them, but not openly. Tether was like a prison and Sea knew that she would never be let off the island if the Pure Sinners weren't sure of her alliance. So she did what they wanted. She sinned, and sinned. She pretended that she worked for them. Slowly she transformed into a Sinner and still she knew it wasn't enough. Her feelings of vengeance and wrath ate at her, forcing her sin rate higher and higher. Seacilia could feel her humanity slipping away, so she started carrying a mirror around to remind herself that once upon a time she was pretty and she was normal.

When she knew that the transformation to the next step - Pure Sinner - was too close, she managed to convince the leaders that she was ready to go back and turn more people to the god of Sin. The preparation and the trip almost took too long. As soon as she was back on Palaugrim, she slipped away from the other sinners and went to the church where the pristine knights that had absolved her in the past lived and worked. Seacilia was attacked when she got there, but when she didn't fight back they stopped. She sighed, if they had continued for but one second more she would have lost control. It was so hard to keep her temper in check.

The pristine knights absolved her and nursed her back to health since the transformation back wasn't pretty. She promptly joined the pristine knights and showed a remarkable talent for magic, but she was still weak from her transformation back to human. Due to all her information about the inner circle and her knowledge of the places, she was paired with Guilford and together they managed to destroy the god of Sin, or at least they thought they did.

Name: Tandrei Artforest

Gender: Female

Appearance: Tandrei's hair is to the middle of her back and usually very tangled. It's a light brown color with streaks of blond. Her eyes are a darker brown than the hair, but not close to black. She's short, only 155 centrimetres high. Since she periodically forgets to eat, she's usually thin and sometimes looks malnourished. She has a pale complexion since she's inside most of the time. Tandrei has a pert nose and thinish lips. When she is told a good story she smiles and laughs prettily, but she would never be considered a beauty by the general public. Usually she wears simple dresses because they're easy to take on and off. She doesn't really care about how she looks. Tandrei only pays attention to her shoes, because she gets annoyed with uncomfortable ones.

Biography: Tandrei was born in one of the villages surrounding the capital of Arlind. There was a legend or myth going through her family that an ancestor had accessed the Library. From a young age Tandrei was enchanted about the tale; only, she thought it was true. It didn't that her parents told her to forget about it as she got older. A feeling in her gut told her it was true. One spring morning when Tandrei was playing outside the house an older mage came to the village to see if there were any gifted children. Since Tandrei's family had in the past had gifted her parents went with her. The mage noticed that Tandrei was gifted and that her affinity was seeking. At that moment in time Tandrei knew that it was fate; she would use her gift to find the Library. She entered the academy of magic and studied her way through the first year. She got accepted as apprentice and a knot in her stomach relaxed. The Artforest family had both had mages and just hopefuls, and through the whole first year Tandrei was afraid she wouldn't make it. The first few years she continued to learn more generally from all schools of magic, but soon enough her studies focused on seeking. After learning the basics Tandrei devoted all her free time to devise a spell to seek out information about the Library, and soon she was sure she had most of it. Still she couldn't find the location or a portal spell, or anything like it. Frustrated, she turned her attention to learning more about seeking, having slipped in her studies, while searching for the Library information. Then one day she realized that she should modify her seeking spell to search for a way to the Library, instead of general information. It didn't take long to find the information she needed. For a few weeks, she couldn't decide if she thought it would work or not, but finally she decided that she needed to try, since her spell couldn't find more. It worked. She got to the Library. Her dream came true, and a high price it was sure to cost her.

Skills: Her affinity is seeking. She has basic knowledge in magic, just the most average and easy spells that everyone knows. Beside that, she had studied enough to actually remember it properly. She knows enough about seeking to seek something of her choice, but only because that's what she needed to know to fullfill her dream of finding the Library. Non-magical skills are writing, reading and some cooking and cleaning (from when she still lived at home). Tandrei also knows a lot of stories, because those always fascinated her, so she remembered them.

Personality: Tandrei lives for the adventure of finding the Library. She wanted to find something no one thought was true and since one of her ancestors had been to the library (at least Tandrei believed so), it was only right to pursue that legend. She's both focused and scatterbrained. Things she really cares about she focuses on the the exclusion of everything else, meaning with everything else she is scatterbrained. She laughs a lot, and loves stories, so her friends are usually good story-tellers or good gossipers, because gossip can make for a very entertaining tale. Her imagination is great and she often disappears in thought if her friends aren't telling stories. There's only a few things that interest Tandrei, which means she pursues them even more.
