Scrapbooking -- Putting little slices of life down on a piece of pretty paper and then decorating it with sparkly stickers and other bits of bling? Hell yeah! Scrapbooking appeals to Gabbie’s girlier side, whilst still allowing her to express herself in a way as unique as herself. Her father (who kicks all the a**, btw) is actually the one who helped her put together her first book as a means of holding on to good memories of the people she loves most. She’s been scrapping since she was about twelve and easily has at least four completed scrapbooks now.
Jewelry-making -- Just because she’s a bit of a tomboy doesn’t mean that Gabbie doesn’t enjoy pretty or girly things. However, given the price tags that she’s seen for some jewelry, she’s decided that it is way more economical to make her own. And hey! Handmade jewelry makes for awesome gifts to show she cares. She has several neatly partitioned bins full of pretty beads and findings and cord. She’s even taken to selling some of her creations at the local craft fairs.
Paleontology -- Fascinated by dinosaurs since early childhood, Gabbie decided at the ripe age of 5 that she was going to learn all about them and be a dinosaur keeper. The keeper part may have not happened, but she’s certainly learned a great deal over the years. This isn’t just some silly little hobby for Gabbie, it’s what she wants to do for a living and she’s quite passionate about it. Just... do yourself a huge favor and don’t ever mention ‘raptors’ around her. Well, not unless you really want to hear her rant and lecture about the differences between a Velociraptor and a Deinonychus...
Cryptozoology -- Though a more recent interest, that doesn’t mean that Gabbie is any less passionate about it. In a very real sense, Gabbie’s love of all things Dinosaur led her into the lands of the Cryptid. While she is a healthy skeptic, she has to admit that the world is a pretty big place and there’s really no reason why giant, bipedal apes or sea serpents can’t exist. They’re just animals that haven’t been formally found and classified yet. Think about it. Gorillas were once considered silly tall tales meant to frighten and impress. Just please don’t ask her to believe in little green men, okay?
Pros:
OptimisticVirtue -- Chirpy, cheery and carefree, there is not a lot that can bring Gabbie down. She is an ever-present and effervescent ray of sunshine wherever she goes and it is both super endearing and truly obnoxious. The best (or worst) part is, she’s not faking any of her bright outlook. Gabbie is absolutely convinced that the world is beautiful and magical and always possessed of a silver lining. If “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” was personified, it wouldn’t take the form of an odd British man. It would look just like Gabbie.
ProtectiveVirtue -- Don’t ever even think of trying to start something anywhere near the local pet shop, nursing home or pre-school. Gabbie is fiercely protective of the weak and defenseless and she will do everything in her power to keep innocents from being harmed in any way. What’s more, animals and children seem to sense this and have been known in the past to flock to her when bad things begin to happen.
Cons:
Momma WolfFlaw -- While being protective of those who need it isn’t entirely a bad thing, Gabbie’s attitude of ‘I am doing this for your own good and I know best!’ isn’t terribly helpful or endearing to her friends and family. Yes, she’s quick to defend, but anything that she perceives as a threat to someone that she personally knows and cares for? Good luck and godspeed because she will descend into an almost berserk fury in her desire to absolutely shred the living s**t out of said threat. And while in this state of mind, she is prone to nearly smothering those she loves in an overabundance of caution and care.
Grudge EverlastingFlaw -- Quick to temper and slow to cool, isn’t that the old saying? In Gabbie’s case, you may as well amend ‘slow’ to ‘glacial pace’. The polar ice caps will melt to nothing before Gabbie forgives a perceived wrong. To say that she holds a grudge is like saying that Jack the Ripper indulged in gentle knife play with his victims. Gabbie practically treasures a grudge and would likely build a dance floor over the graves of her enemies simply for the spiteful pleasure of coming back every year or so to do a jig over their mouldering remains.
General Appearance
Aerodynamically curvaceous and standing at a less than impressive 5’5”, Gabbie has deeply tan skin (South Pacific Islander), Amber eyes and honeydew (gaia color) green hair done in the cutest little butch pixie cut y'ever did see. She tends to favor t-shirts, jeans and sandals for her everyday. She has pierced ears and a pierced nostril that she typically wears a tiny golden sun stud in. She also has a shark tooth necklace that she is never seen without.
Uniform Color: Please see provided refs for colors Primary Color: Secondary Color:
Uniform: So, I'mma just link some refs and let y'all go wild. XD (help) Saiph Ref
Collar -- see ref Brooch -- see ref Chest Bow -- see ref Bodice -- Feel free to adjust what is on the ref to fit within guidelines! Bottoms -- I would prefer short, please! Tiara -- see ref Butt Bow -- see ref
Accessories -- See ref, please. The only thing I am thinking of removing are the knee bandages
Attacks: Sailor Scout Attack: Tail Thrash Able to be summoned 3 times per battle, Saiph is able to call up a glowing spinosaurus tail made of energy tail that delivers a blow to one enemy target, quite capable of inflicting serious blunt force trauma or sending someone flying through the air.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Primal Crunch Able to be summoned three times per battle, Saiph is once again able to call upon glowing magical energy. However, now it appears as if there is a spinosaurus "swimming" through the air and only giving momentary glimpses of a massive tooth filled head or a clawed paw or thrashing tail. Now, up to 3 people can be targeted within a 15ft radius from Saiph and can expect to not only be buffeted about, but to receive bite/claw wounds.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Primeval Hunt Able to be summoned once per battle, Saiph is able to call upon the same glowing energy, this time taking the shape of two elephant-sized spinosaurus. Saiph can direct her pack to target up to two enemies who will find themselves being hunted across the battlefield and the effects of her attack being felt immediately following her first post with the spinosaurus dissipating at the start of the second, leaving behind the adrenaline hype that another attack might come again at any moment.
Physical effects can range from bruising and slashing claws wounds to being bitten by a large, angry and hungry predator. Additionally, anyone with line of sight will see this as it unfolds and will be subject to the same shot of fear as those being targeted. Would you seriously try to stick around if you saw large, toothy predators coming at you?

How long have you been awakened? 3 years
Where were you awakened? Gabbie was awakened while on a family vacation to their beach house a few hours from Mayet.
What have you been doing for the past 3 years? School. Hanging with friends. Civilizing Cordy *snickersnort*
As a note: Despite being awakened however many years ago, not much has happened. A cat checks in from time to time, otherwise being a Magical Person is a pretty chill job.]
What stage would you like to start at? 2nd

Hello, hello!
As an afterthought on the civ side (MY BAD I AM SORRY) --
Protective. You've already spun this into a flaw on the momma wolf side of things. Let the virtue of it be the focus of the virtue. No need to note that she wouldn't think twice about sacrificing herself in this part of it.
Powered side -- Name good, sphere good.
Attacks! Overall, for duration we would recommend the following: 1 post/instantaneous for Basic & Super (with the after effects of the startle/fear bleeding over into the second post for Super) and two posts for eternal, especially in the event she can control them/their actions.
Basic - Beyond the duration, the small suggstion that I'd have here would be to make it a spinosaurus tail -- long and narrow but paddle-like, according to the wiki description? Alternatively, you could also make the imagery focused around the CHOMP of a Spinosaurus' jaws in this basic attack as well, building off of that more into Super.
Super - Again, my recommendation here would possibly be to focus on the CHOMP. Let it start out nebulous in shape at the start of the attack but then NOM. Make it bigger. Give them the fear of feeling like they're being chomped down on something that could have a skull up to 5.7ft. Something like:
Saiph calls upon a faintly glowing magical energy. The energy forms into a nebulous shape before her, solidifying into the astral form of a spinosaurus. It rushes at her opponent and either completely barrels into them, as you've got, able to knock over up to x many people within a line of 15ft of Saiph OR it swims through the air, rushing towards her opponent with jaws open, bearing down on them and... etc.
Eternal - Instead of doing a pack of 3 I'd suggest 2 but making the imagery itself larger. While they can only target up to two enemies with the physical attacks themselves there's also no reason why other opponents within an AoE wouldn't be able to see them and catch on to that feeling as well even if they aren't the ones being harmed.
Let me know what you think and we'll move on from here!

CONGRATULATIONS SAILOR SOLDIER! Your character has been approved!
For your awakening...
Two of you. Somehow the Watchful Guardian found two of you. It was almost like a bargain at a clearance outlet only better because it meant less work and maybe Saiph and Corvus would keep each other out of trouble...
Here's your henshin pen, here's your phone. We'll be in touch...
We would highly recommend setting up a [Powered Journal] to keep track of your role plays! Please also see the [Import Art Thread] for how to obtain your powered art.
We look forward to seeing you around Mayet!
**Please note, powered Role Play is unavailable at this time. Civilian roleplays are welcome but may not be used for growth requirements until after Powered RP is released in the shop**
