Elessedil's Quick Profile

(Just a quick reference since her full profile is very, very, very long =_=. Like...20+ pages long.)

:::Basics:::

Race: Sidhe, a type of fae (fairy), this particular race is the creme'de crop, the royals of all fae. The Tuatha De' Danann (Children of Danu).

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Gender: Female

Age: Unknown, but apears to be in her early 20's

Height: 6'0 even.

Court(s) Full blood Unseelie. She was borne to the Unseelie court , but spent half her life with the Sluagh.

:::Apearence:::

Ears: Her ears are Elven in look, not over exaggerated pointy. Think of Arwens ears from "Lord OF The Rings".

Eyes: Tricolor silver with rings of blue and green around the iris. The green the outermost ring with the blue the inner.

Hair: Scarlet red, almost the color of new sprung blood to her upper thighs. For the most part her hair is straight, but about mid back it begins to curl. Not tight curls, but really lose (Sometimes called mermaid curls). I guess you can say wavy.


Physical: Standing about 6'0 with pale ivory skin, she is thin, yet with an ample figure. Gently flaring hips accent a decent sized chest and slender legs that have a bit of muscle in them from exercise, yet not enough to make her seem buff or manly. Her arms, like her legs are also slender with a bit of muscle to them leading down to delicately shaped hands with long slender fingers often known as pianist fingers, looking as if they have never seen an ounce of work in her life... yet, don't let that fool you she has seen her share of it - and can in-fact toss a truck with little to no effort on her part.

Tattoo: Something very unique about Eless is the intricate tattoo on her back that is hidden behind most her clothing. Just below the nape of her neck and in the center of her shoulder blades, a large black rose is etched into her pale skin. Four thick blade-like lines grace each shoulder blade and a bit lower to make up the leaves. Stemming out from the lower base of each leaf is a narrow strip that represents a stem, which comes together at a common meeting point under the rose, to intertwine and make a lose intricate stem. The stem, which consist of the four smaller stems from the blade-like leaves spiral down to her lower back where they cut off into dull faded points. (I'd love to see how you draw the tattoo, I love the uniqueness that comes with each artist.)


Clothing: (Think Harem outfit, or dress her in something else )

"The low midriff shirt which was obsidian black in color was cut off directly under her bust showing off a wide expanse of exposed porcelain skin. In the back where fabric should have been there was none, instead the shirt was held together by thin wisps of blood red lace which crisscrossed down the smooth expanse of her upper back then tied. This left her back and the intricate tattoo free for roaming eyes to see, only hindered by a few choice lines of lace. Instead of short sleeves like the previous shirt she had worn this one had long billowing sleeves made of a sheer see through fabric that was cuffed at her wrist with interlacing strands of red lace.

Her lower body was covered with the same black see-through material that her arms were, billowing down to be cuffed at her ankles with blood red lace as well. The lace causing the effect of balloon at her ankle, much like a gene. Underneath a pair of black bikini bottom type covering could bee seen through the material, keeping her from being utterly exposed. To add a final touch to the outfit, clinging to her hips was a rich deep red sash tied of on her right side. The tied ends hanging down the right side of her body to about mid thigh, crinkled for textured look."

Since she is Sidhe, she's quite use to walking around with nothing - or little to nothing on. So be wear of her funky outfits.

:: razz ersonality and Character Traits:::

Personality: Elessedil tends to keep to herself most the time, not wanting to waste her time on sharing with others. She has an air of regal grace and nobility about her that could almost be called arrogance. Her peerslove yet fear her at the same time, knowing that the smile that graces the gentle like face hides the dark power that rest beneath the surface. For all her innocence in appearance lies a truth that can always be seen in the smiles that never quite reach her eyes. Elessedil may be more fair then most of her fellows, but the blood of the Unseelie court within her veins holds full reign.

Quirks: Even though she has acting like a human down pretty well, there are a few quirks she has because of being a Sidhe. The first is that when she is extremely angered, happy, exited her magic tends to float closer to the surface overflowing a little which at times can be a bad thing - especially to those who do not know what she is. Also due to the fact that she is fae, she tends to have a clothing problem since most Sidhe are comfortable with nudity, or little to nothing on.

For example she could want to ask a question of man/woman that is in a shower, and just walk into the bathroom look at them and carry on a conversation without being uncomfortable, also she could walk around without of stitch of clothing on and feel normal. In fact, if she had her way, the skimpier the better.

:::Weapons and Powers:::

Weapons: Elessedil mainly relies on magic and physical attacks, but she does have two weapons that she uses when the need arises.

The first of which is a long, black, lethal whip. The handle is made of elegant black ivory and has a rose intricately carved into it, with a stem that goes down and ends where the whip starts. As if continuing the stem the whip has jagged points jutting out randomly looking almost like thorns.

Last comes her sword, which she only uses when she seriously has to due to the nature of it. In appearance it can be considered ghostly and beautiful. Its hilt is made of silver and obsidian carved into a horned skull. On either side of the skull is three serpents posed to strike, as the bodies intertwine and twirl down the hilt to a point in which they split apart and branch out ending with a ghostly visage of a woman opened mouth and screaming. In the center of the hilt is a carved eyeball, open in terror, as the hilt continues downward in to three sharp point. Then finally, topping the masterpiece is a magnificent, flawless silver blade.

This sword is one of two blades ever made that can bring true death to a Sidhe. When a critical wound is struck with a regular blade a Sidhe can live and recover in a range from a few minuets to a few hours depending on the damage. Like it's sister sword Mortal Death (the stronger of the two), this sword on the other hand inflicts damage on Sidhe like a regular blade would a human. If a critical blow is inflicted upon a Sidhe, it would be treated just as a human's. If a Sidhe were to lose an arm to the blade, the arm would never grow back, and if it was thrust threw ones heart, the Sidhe would know true death.

The blade does not effect other creatures as devastating as the Sidhe, since it was designed, for and only to end the life of a Sidhe.


Weaknesses: Iron and steel can hurt the fae, and if she's trapped around to much metal like in a plane she cannot call upon her power.

Powers:
(I shalll only list a couple.)

Poison Touch is the ability to poison a living creature by any body contact, let it be a touch of the hands, lips or a brush of hair.

Healing Touch is the ability to heal a person by touch. When she calls upon the power she can heal with the simple of touches from any part of her body. The only down fall is she cannot heal herself.

Cold Fire is a pale bluish color flame that can be summoned at will in her hands or around her being. The flame itself has no heat what so ever and has the power to make things wither and die. An example would be if a hand was thrust into the flame, it would begin to wither and melt till there is only bone, and then soon the bone would disintegrate till the limb just ceases to exist.

Old blood causes all wounds, from tiny to killing blow to reappear on the victim as if they were just gotten. The wounds will only heal when the spell is called off. For example say she cast a spell on an immortal cleric that was over 200 years old. All the wounds that were ever gotten in his 200 years of life would reappear as if he just received them, let it be a needle poke, or a sword stab threw his gut, or even a broken nose. He would continue to bleed or bare the wounds all his life unless the spell is cast off. (As seen, in the Merry Gentry Series by Laurel K. Hamilton)

Basic spells such as light, and levitation of objects. She also cannot be affected by powers the enable mind reading, control, and other things like that.

Random Sidhe Facts: Not much is known on the Sidhe but I happen to find a few facts, and gather a few things from books I've read about them.

*Sidhe are tall and range in heights from 6 to 7 feet. They are strong boned and delicate looking, they have high cheek bones and strait noses, there eyes are sometimes slanted.

*There skin tone can be any color (light blue, purple...) same with there hair color, the hair is usually really long.

*They always tend to glow a little.

*Instead of handsome looking the men place more as beautiful, having slightly famine facial features.

*Their eyes tend to range in a bundle of colors, such as rings of different colors or shades of a color. Also juts of other colors from the pupil. (Knowledge obtained from The Mabinogion...if I remember correctly)

*They find all life beautiful and not ugly, even if it is a goblin.

Excerpt From The Children Of Danu:

"The Children of Danu" by Lorraine MacDonald
Article copied with permission from the author
first published in Dalriada magazine
Copyright, 1992 Lorraine MacDonald

"There is an ancient and universal belief inherent in all the native religions of the existence of an invisible realm, a land of youth, happiness and beauty, inhabited by Otherworldly beings. Most of us have from our childhood days heard mention of the Faery Folk, or the 'Good People', as they are known in Ireland and Scotland. Images of small, dainty beings with silk wings flitting through the grass fill the pages of children's story books. Yet these romantic images of diminutive creatures, heavily influenced by the Victorian era, are far removed from the original concept of the Sidhe within native Celtic religion as powerful spirit manifestations of the elemental forces of nature. In their original status they form an integral part of the inner religious life of the Gael, both past and present."

"The nature of the Sidhe of each land is subtly different, for each place has its own 'genius locii', its guardian earth spirit. The harsh Cuillin peaks of Skye are home to fierce warrior women of the Sidhe, while the gentle rolling green meadows of Southern Ireland are the dwelling places of noble princes and faery queens, generous and more well disposed towards us."

"According to the visions of Irish and Scottish seers, there are two distinct orders of Sidhe beings. These are known as the Shining Ones and the Opalescent Ones. Both are of marvelous beauty and majestic appearance, but the Opalescent Ones are particularly radiant with light streaming forth from their auras in all directions. However, they are rarely seen, even by gifted seers, for they ordinarily dwell in the higher realms far removed from the denser, earthbound planes."

"Another name for the Sidhe is sluagh na marbh, the host of the dead. Contrary to what some people believe, the Sidhe are not the souls of those recently departed from this world, for they are of another race entirely. They are not the spirits of the ancestors buried in barrows. Nevertheless, the realms wherein the Dead travel are their realms, the dreamlike world that the Sidhe inhabit; hence they are indeed the hosts of the Dead. By way of contrast, in Donegal they are also known as 'sluagh beatha', the hosts of life!"

Name: Inuzuka Mimi
Nickname: Daichan, Runt (she gets mildly annoyed at the first since it means 'large', but, surprisingly, likes the second)
Age: 22
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Height: 4'11''
Birthplace: Konoha
Blood Type: B
Birthday: 09/04/1983
Marital Status: Single
Sexual Preference: Bisexual
Position: Junin, Medic nin
Mentor(s): Inuzuka Tsume

Appearance: As stated above, Mimi stands at a diminutive height of 4'11'', and like many people of her height, would be best described as 'well rounded', or even plump. Of course, she would much rather be referred to as curvaceous. She dyes her hair red and, like that of her close relations', it is spiky, though the latter attribute is lessened since she let it grow long. It now hangs just below her shoulders, though she often ties it back to keep it out of the way in battles. Her eyes are dark and large, though they often appear narrow due to her rounded cheeks, which rise up when she smiles - her eyes are also framed by faint laughter lines, which hints largely to her personality as a whole. Her skin is pale and lightly calloused on her fingertips, and her nails, though she would like to keep them long, are short both as a safety measure when dealing with patients, and as a result of her biting of them - a nervous habit.

Her ninken is a Komaru, a black dog, and though he started out - of course - as a small puppy, he now towers over Mimi, the measurement from his head to the floor coming in at a remarkable 5'6''. His fur is thick and soft, and he though he can appear frightful at first sight due to his large stature, it quickly becomes clear that he is anything but mean. He long ago learned to speak as humans do, and his voice is low, warm and rumbling. Though he prefers a peaceful approach to situations, he is a strong and dominating fighter, and the sight of Mimi riding atop his back as they charge into battle is truly something to behold, if only once.

Mimi angles toward donning red clothing to match her hair, and wears her hitai-ate on her left hip.


Background: Born the only daughter of Inuzuka Bikou and her husband Hayashi Yuki (Bikou married outside of the Inuzuka clan, but kept her family name), Mimi is playful and headstrong. Though short in stature, she often makes up for this with her outspoken, somewhat boisterous personality, and it soon becomes apparent that she enjoys talking. Though a dedicated Ninja, she can often become panicked in battle, and thusly likes to stay off of the frontline. As a result of this, she became a Medic nin, and uses her well-balanced chakra levels to aid her companions and team mates when the come in harms way.

Upon graduating from the academy at age 12, she found herself set in a team with none other than Inuzuka Tsume as her teacher. Having always been close to her aunt, she was immediately pleased with the idea, and the powerful bond between the two of them quickly spread and grew to extend to her fellow team mates as well. After a few near misses, she eventually passed the Chuunin exam aged 13, and later went on to become a Junin not long after her 17th birthday. She taught briefly at the Ninja Academy, before moving on to study at the Hospital to further her skills as a Medic Nin. With the return of the legendary Tsunade and her assistant Shizune some time later, she found herself with an invaluable opportunity to learn yet more, and worked hard as one of the few privileged enough to be taught by them. It was her goal in life to be an aid to others not only in the safety of the Village's walls, but also outside of them, in the heart of battle. With Komaru at her side, she was determined that with her skills, she would save the lives of her fellow Ninja.

After many years serving in Konoha, and taking missions in other areas outside of the village, Mimi finally felt it was time to move on into the world and venture elsewhere. Word reached her ears of a Tournament - the Tournament of Champions - and she decided to head there first, to see what this great show of power would have to offer her.

He wears a very roughed up old black duster, which is filled with holes and tears from his nasty habit of getting shot at. His shirts are predominantly black, often with some witty phrase on them, and he wears jeans with numerous pockets. His hands are constantly gloved, and usually during the daylight hours he'll be seen with his head wrapped up in bandages and topped off with a large straw hat (asian style) to keep the sun off of him. When his face is visible, it's a youthful face, maintained at the age of 18 (the age at which he was sired). His eyes are a deep blue, due to the contacts he wears, and his hair is a steel blue color that is messy, at best, with large bangs that fall in clumps before his face.
