Infant C (combo Geist, Imp, and Litch) Freshling B (combo Geist, Imp-2, and Litch) with Face 7 and Hair 45
Description:
Body: Main color of the body should be a pale silver with a slight pink tinge (I used e6dce6 in the reference picture). She has black markings on her face, ears, and legs (See reference picture). The fur on her arms should be orange, and the edges should fade out into a Geist glow, like the glow is part of the fur instead of surrounding it. This probably won't be super apparent as a freshling, since Imp freshlings have long sleeves that hide their fur, but as a Junior and Senior she will start wearing clothes that free her arms. Eyes: Black sclera and orange, glowing irises Hair: Silver white (I used e6e6e6 in the reference picture) with pastel rainbow bangs. Clothes: Skirt should be grey base with orange and dark grey plaid. Sweater should be black with grey stripes up the sleeves and a rib cage logo on the chest. Collar and sleeves of the sweater should be alternating grey and white. Horns: - Black Tail: - The tail should be the same orange as her arms. The end of the tail should fade into a Geist glow. If the colorist prefers then the whole tail can be Geist-y Claws: - Black
Bliss is a very bubbly and outgoing individual. She thrives in social situations and loves getting involved. Age groups aren't a thing she seems to recognize; if she thinks someone's interesting, she approaches them. If there's a shy bone in her body, it has yet to be discovered. The same could be said for a sense of shame. She's very straightforward and confident, says what she means and means what she says. She's not out to deliberately cause trouble or hurt feelings, but she can make a situation slightly awkward or cause someone to feel flustered before she even realizes what she's done. It doesn't seem to phase her much, but if she upsets someone all they have to do is let her know. She can't promise she won't slip here and there, but she'll at least make an effort.
Bliss has a very active imagination and a lot of energy. She's a wee bit eccentric, but mostly quite individualistic. She mixes different fashion styles and loves experimenting with makeup. She's actually quite good at applying cosmetics; it might be the first time you'll ever see her sitting still and focusing intently. When she does try to focus she's actually very intelligent and can pick up knowledge at a staggering rate. Unfortunately she's easily distracted, so getting her to focus is easier said than done. She's very affectionate and is quite casual about touch; "personal boundaries" is a concept that doesn't come naturally to her. She tries to stay positive and optimistic, refusing to let life knock her down for too long.
Positive and negative traits: Positives
Versatile Bliss enjoys having a wide range of friends of differing age, race, and interests. She's individualistic, but does adapt her behavior in slight ways depending on the group she's with. She's picked up quite a few tidbits of knowledge or basic skills, and is good at switching tracks on a copper star when situations change. Energetic Bliss has a seemingly never-ending supply of energy and enthusiasm. She's a do-er, whether it's getting a group together to go out or turning an idea into actuality. She stays active and doesn't like falling into the rut of a routine. Spontaneous Many of the people Bliss knows or the things she's done have come about due to a whim. Some of the best adventures in life aren't planned, you just have to see an opening and go for it! Plus it keeps things from getting boring. Caring Bliss has a big heart and takes the hurts of others seriously, from scrapped knees to unrequited crushes to serious setbacks in studies or careers. She's not always sure if there's anything she can do, but she's always willing to listen in the meantime and will be there first to volunteer to help out. Optimistic There's always going to be bad days, but Bliss feels like you can't focus on that. When things are down, look at what's going right or try to think of something to do that will bring a bit of happiness into your day. Everything straightens itself eventually, so she tries not to let setbacks ruin the potential for good.
Negatives
Distracted Bliss has to constantly feel like she's going something, otherwise she starts getting anxious. As a result, she sometimes piles more on her plate than she can handle. Oftentimes her attention is split into pieces as she tries to do a bit of everything at once, time gets away from her, and generally her performance suffers. Irresponsible Bliss has a bad habit of forgetting things she needs to do. That homework was due today? I was supposed to be there an hour ago? I am sooo sorry, I'll buy you a present while we're out today! (Last one was a forgotten birthday scenario). She never means to irresponsible, something more interesting was just happening at the time. Impulsive Bliss worries about missing out on life, so sometimes she'll jump right into things without a thought for the consequences. If she's lucky her bad choices only affect herself, but sometimes she can get friends into trouble right alongside her. Invasive Bliss can be a little too much sometimes. She doesn't really get that not everyone is okay with casual touch, or that sometimes you just want to stay at home alone with a good book. She thinks that if she just tries hard enough she can be a friend to anyone, and she has yet to learn that's not always so. Obdurate Bliss doesn't listen very well sometimes. You can tell her something she's doing is incorrect, or maybe she should rethink something. Sometimes she listens, but most of the time she's liable to dig her heels in and keep on digging her grave. It often takes a major eye-opener for her to see what should have been obvious.
Likes and dislikes: Likes
Holidays Parties Being with friends Makeup Sweets
Dislikes
Being alone Disappointing people Libraries Waiting Vegetables
Hobbies:
Dancing Bliss loves to dance! Most of the time she just moves how she feels, but she likes learning the different styles of dance since it's fun to feel graceful or super fast. Makeup She has a few natural markings, but Bliss loves to augment those with various styles of makeup, or cover them to go with new styles. She can even do body painting or special effects, and is starting to experiment with little prosthetics like they use in for special effects. Baking She loves sweets, so learning how to make them herself just seems awesome to her. Unfortunately Bliss doesn't really have the patience to be much good at this, but she keeps trying to improve her skills! Who'd have thought there was such a thing as too much sugar?

A brief overview of their life so far:
Bliss is from the cache. She was awakened and raised at the Academy, where she is (will be) attending classes. She's a loud and vibrant child who will probably have teachers at their wits end in how to deal with her.
Bliss' mother was a Geist/Imp hybrid. With the war going on and several deaths happening all around her, she desperately wanted to imbue a stone to create a bit of life. She'd found the cache of soul stones and knew it was a safe place to keep her stone until the war was over. She wasn't able to imbue a stone on her own, but found a Litch willing to help her in exchange for the safekeeping on a soul stone they'd already imbued. The hybrid agreed, imbued Bliss with the help of the Litch, then made her way back to Alcyone to hide the stones. She then made her way back to Valir, and was ultimately killed in the firebombing that destroyed the city.
Whether or not they're an orphan from the cache:
Yes, though she will have a sister!
How their status as an orphan or non-orphan has effected them:
Not much, really. Of course Bliss would have liked to have met her parents, but she's got her sister and she easily makes friends! She relates quite easily to the Imp/Geist part of her, which works out since her Litch part isn't very strong.
One event that changed their life or effected them:
Finding a drama student's make-up bag. Bliss was instantly enamored with the idea of being able to change her appearance to suit her moods. The student whose bag she found had to replace several things, and she left a pretty big mess on the floor around her. Makeup is trial and error though, so it's okay!
How they feel about their race and house:
Race Bliss doesn't particularly connect with the Litch part of her heritage though there are times when you see it coming through, such as her ability to focus when she actually chooses. She has a lot of magical potential from the Litch and Geist parts of her, whether she has the dedication to do something with it remains to be seen. She identifies most strongly with Geist culture, though she is equally comfortable with Imp culture. House Bliss is an extremely creative person, so Arkham's values suit her perfectly. She particularly enjoys art, though she doesn't have the patience for its finer applications or for most types of literature.
Their goals in life:
IC: Bliss loves to have a good time. She'd love to find a job that doesn't have a ton of demands and really flexible hours, so she can still have free time for fun. She isn't sure about settling down, but finding love also seems nice! And friends, lots of friends! OOC: She's going to be a bit of a hellion as a freshling and junior. I want to work on making her friends, and seeing how her personality takes shape from interaction. She's going to have a sister in the shop already (Tarot), so as she hits her senior years Tarot should be a bit more settled in life and the bond between them will develop into something more serious. I think Tarot will be, not a role model, because Bliss and Tarot almost couldn't be any more different, but a grounding force in Bliss' life that keeps her centered. Eventually she'll figure out what she wants to do in life (makeup and possibly special effects), though I also see her working at a bar as she gets settled. It'll be a long process, especially her maturing enough to settle down and have kids. She'll probably have the latter before the former, though her sister will likely end up raising them.
Also just adding this as a note! Tarot and Bliss will be biological sisters, but neither will realize it since genetic testing of all the stones would be way too expensive and likely without point, and any note left by Bliss' mother would be highly illegible by the time it was discovered. It's going to be a bit like an ironic twist that Tarot will end up being Bliss' Big Sibling. The idea is Tarot keeps in touch with a few professors from the Academy, and one would have suggested Tarot try the big sibling program. Partially this will be to help Bliss, since Tarot would indeed be a calming influence. This will also partially be to help Tarot, since it is well-known that Tarot is not very social and having a freshling to look after might help to open her up a bit.

Your Nightmare has to write an essay on what they want to be when they grow up. Do they procrastinate, or get to work immediately? What is their essay about?
'Remember class, those essay's are due tomorrow!'
Those words had acted like a bucket of cold water on Bliss, and she'd pouted through the rest of her classes. Where had all her time gone!? She thought she'd have ages to write the essay and had kept putting it off to the next day. If the teacher hadn't said something she wouldn't even have remembered that it was due!
She tapped a pencil against a blank piece of paper, chewing on her lip and bouncing in her chair. Even now the temptation to get up and move around was strong. Bliss could buckle down and concentrate, but it was just super hard to get into that state in the first place. Besides, she didn't even know what she wanted to be when she grew up! The whole concept was something nebulous, stuck in the category of "distant future and not worth thinking about right now".
Well, honesty was a virtue, wasn't it?
'Well I still want to be Bliss when I grow up, cause I like being me. I don't know what I want to do when I grow up, cause it's super far away and I haven't thought about it. I want to be able to have fun though, so I guess something that lets me do that would be nice,' she scrawled on the paper. There, essay done! She tossed down her pencil and scrambled for the door, hoping to get in a few good hours of playtime before they called light's out.
