.:. Host Profile .:.Name: Sap? (May rename herself IRP)
Gender: Female
Species: Memory Fragment/ Human?
Age: Late teens early twenties. It's hard to tell.
Appearance:
Personality:
Sap has a highly odd and unfinished personality. When she dragged herself into a proper existance, her personality- what made her HER- was most of what she retained, but large chunks of herself were sucked away into oblivion before she could catch and hold them, so she has... holes... in her personality that she needs to fill with life experience.
What she has retained is a hyperactive energy. Her energy level goes from extremely excitable and optimistic to rather low and grouchy, almost within moments, springing back again shortly after.
This does mean that she is resilient to stress- she just bounces right back.
She does have an odd stress response. When things get really rough for a long period of time, she returns to a habit she picked up as her previous false existance began to fade away- she retreats inside her memories, real and invented, and relives them/ reinvents them in real time in response to real events. To her the events are happening in the dreamlike setting of her own mind.
For example, if she is in this stress-existance preservation-mode and falls into a lake, she does not percieve herself as having fallen into that lake for the whole time she is in the lake. Instead, a memory, real or created on the spot, plays out in her mind, incorporating the wetness and coldness and lake-ness. Like, a river in a rainforest, or being soaked by lizards.
This stress response is very rare and previously manifested because her existance was crumbling around her, so not likely to happen (I say that now but who the ******** knows)
She isn't a fighter. She's too compassionate to hurt anybody. She just cant bring herself to do it.
She did it once and thankfully they werent hurt badly and that memory was (mostly) lost, save for a residue of reluctance to attack with her silver miasma/magic/whatever it became when she entered this plane.
She also definitely has a strong sense of right and wrong. She knows what an average person- which is surely what she is- should and should not do based on a general morality. She wouldn't kill or steal or... anything like that.
She also has a deep pride in her self and what she can do. She holds onto that pride and that sense of herself, her adaptability, and her positivity to herself. It is, after all, the key to her existance and what stopped her from fading completely away into oblivion. She is Her. She is Silver. She is Change.
And she's proud of it.
She likes plants of all sorts, and especially loves teas. Her working knowledge of medicinal herbs was reset, in part because of the memory/soul wipe and in part because... its all different here in a real reality anyway. She also likes to eat.
Its more than just survival, its plain fun.
She also likes the art of trade. And people. She isn't particularly good at trading but she doesn't care. She just likes to chat and barter. Doesn't matter if she gets ripped off, not if she got to talk someone's ear off.
What she doesn't like isn't so clear. Other than the obvious death and ceasing to exist, the best she can make out from her cluttered, shattered, faded, tangeled, and plain incomplete thoughts of her past is that she doesn't like violence and cruelty.
There are many facets of her personality she is confused by. There are many facets of her personality that feel like gaping holes in a void, like a puzzle missing a great deal of pieces.
Still. She is adaptable, she knows this. She IS this. And so she approaches it with great energy. Doesnt matter if shes got empty spaces. She is going to fill them and more besides!
She is going to live!

- Abilities
Miasma : Sap is able to summon her miasma/essence/whatever into an aura around her hands, which she can use to either cast a small bolt of energy or shield with. If she adapts/figures it out, she might be able to heal with it. The energy is silvery and wispy. She calls it her 'Miasma'.
Change : She also tends to take on colors/characteristics of her surroundings if there for an extended amount of time. Usually, these changes are slight and thematic, often cosmetic but sometimes practical. Typically they remain in human range, but can be slight modifications towards what she percieves as 'normal' in the setting she is in. She also will often revert when away from that area.
The whole thing is subconcious, slow-acting, and subtle. She never notices it, and it never causes her discomfort.
Whether its a side effect of her pre-fading ability as a member of the silver kingdom to 'adapt' or if it's because, as an incomplete entity, she is drawing energy or 'inspiration' from what is around her is hard to tell. Perhaps a bit of both.
Example: she is in a forest setting full of elves. If she stays there for a while, she starts gradually getting pointed ears and angled eyes, and maybe a little taller. She also becomes adjusted to the ground and light levels in the forest.
Anybody could tell she wasn't an elf, but she would look a bit more like she 'fit' in the setting...
If moved to a water area where most things were underwater, she would revert to her usual self, losing her elf traits (unless there were water elves or something) and her forest traits and starting to aquire water-appropriate subtle traits. Perhaps not underwater breathing, but certainly better underwater vision, swimming, and breath time. Perhaps cosmetic things like scales.
The ability is simply there as a callback and a theme-fitter sort of thing. So that she isn't out of place everywhere forever. She cant actually shapeshift, and everything is completely outside of her control (except for things she can effect cosmetically, like with makeup or brushes or scissors or whatever)
