 Name: Freyja Perri
Nickname(s): N/A
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Birthday: August 8th
Sign: Leo
Gemstone: Peridot
Blood Type: O+
School: Crystal Academy
Fave Food: Veggies, Fish and Sherbet <3
Hated Food: Red meats, greasy, salty foods. Lack of sherbet
Hobbies:
Taro Reading/Fortune Telling Freyja prides herself in the unusual hobby of Taro Reading. If you ever wanted to know what the cards had in store for you then come to her (illusive circle only please!) and she would be more than happy to read them. She also dabbles in runes and palm reading (as long as you wash first), and has on the odd occasion led her to more occult based tools such as Ouija boards.
[Hobby History: - A unusual hobby that Freya took a shine to when visiting a fortune teller with friends at a fair (they went on a dare to this low grade place). Although she was sceptical at first she kept note of what the medium had to say and found it to pass in the following days. Since then she has dedicated her spare time to reading peoples fortunes, she is known as the 'wacky' one of her friends (they all have a vice, one of them gets their kicks out of shopping at thrift stores!) and she likes this edge she has made for herself, it makes her a little bit different from the rows of Crystal girls she spends time with. But the main reason is she wants to be in control, this is her way of seeing what the future has in store for her and if she doesnt like it, well...it will just have to change. ]
Gym Bunny Freya prides herself in keeping herself trim and (in her eyes) beautiful and the only way to maintain this is to work out and achieve the best body you can get. Being blessed with riches she is able to have her own gym situated in the east wing of her Grandma's Mansion. She is forever on the treadmill and pushes her body to extreme levels. Although she has no food demons and will allow herself to partake in cookies or ice cream when and if she wants, she knows she will have to pump that iron 10x more fiercely the next day! But if anything she looks forward to it! Its her way of letting go, to be able to work things out and simplifying things in her mind. With a thousand and one things going though her mind and trying to control everyone of them she needs this release. All she needs to do is run.
[Hobby History: - A mix of peer pressure and history cause this hobby to be so far up the list. When her father died he was a very unhealthy human. Overweight, alcoholic and smoker, he never denied himself life's little pleasures, but it cost him his life when a seemingly 'recoverable' injury caused him to have a cardiac arrest during surgery. Freya will not forgive her father for letting himself go like that and leaving her on her own, she will not let herself become that. Of course she fails to realise that doing the extreme opposite can still cause it, but right now she wants to distance herself as far as possible for the man her father was. ]
Shopping/Fashion(vintage) This girl knows how to shop and shop well! Her fashion is vintage, classic and beautiful. She doesn't do the crappy look of today's youth, its silks and furs all the way! Gems, diamonds, feathers she always has something going on in her hair or on a new outfit, she loves adding a twist to things. Of course she would never be caught dead buying in a charity store or a place that works with original vintage outfits, these are all hand made! She instead gathers inspiration for the clothes she finds at these places and has someone of a high standard recreate them.
[ History: - Never having a Mother to do girly things with hit Freya hard. She saw her friends having girls only days out and wanted it too but to have it without hiring someone to escort her she needed to do them on her own but of course do it in style. She wasn't about to go occasionally to the shopping malls, or occasionally find something she liked and save up for it. She lives, eats and breaths shopping. Getting her hair done, picking out a new outfit and finishing it all off with fine dining was a way of life and she did it all on her own. Of course she did it all while using daddys credit card. He was never there anyway to stop her and if anything he felt the guilt of that and let her get away with it anyway. It grew into an obsession, like running shopping is the only thing that helps her relax and in a way feel more connected to her feminine side that she could only learn from by the maids.]
Virtues:
Determination: Freyja will always have some unspoken/unknown goal running though her mind and what ever it may be she will fight tooth and nail to achieve it. Be it a school assignment or a fashion accessories she so desperately needs, she will save, study and work out till the cows came home! Anything to accomplish this self imposed 'mission'. Her father drummed into her that everything you achieve is only done by your hard work (and some well placed words in peoples ears) Be it mental or physical, when things fall down around you, you only have yourself to blame, but if things go right, your the one to reap the benefits and Freyja has taken that on board with gusto. Only she can be praised for the good she does for herself. If things go wrong she will take a step back but she will keep on coming. She wont give up. People may find this either endearing or annoying. If she wants you for a friend she will keep on coming at you till you agree, but then again if you shoot her down she will brush you off like yesterdays garbage. It almost like she is made of stone but she has all the benefits of feeling emotions!
In this sense she can be a very useful person, she will get you into that R-rated movie, she will help you with that exam and she will find a way to get a date for you from that boy you like! When one plan doesn't work she will try another and then another. She doesn't seem to get deterred and even if she has to wait weeks or even months she will get her way eventually.
Candor: Freyja is very truthful, she will never lie to you or hide the truth and will always be there to give you her honest opinion. There are no smoke and mirrors with this girl, what you see is what you get and although many people may not like what they see she will not change nor will she bring out another side to herself. She is Freyja, simple and true. She can be frank and to the point in many ways but if you dont want a friend who won't tell you your a** looks big then do not look in her direction!
Resilence: This student is one tough cookie! Time and time again she has been kicked down and told to stay down but dammit if she doesnt just keep on getting back up again! She may not have every reason to be resilient, your typical failures or horrible events have passed her by (The girls mother may have left and her father is dead but she is rich god-dammit, she can have anything she wants!) but to her she has still suffered personal trauma and they have effected her deeply and significantly enough to shine though. She has a thick skin one in which is very difficult to break though, you can throw the insults this way and that and you will find it hard to get to her.
Flaws:
Aloof: Freyja is very good at being emotionally detached from things around her, there is nothing worse than letting her guard down and letting feelings though, that is just not the Perri way. She can appear cold and distant to most people making it very hard for anyone to break through her ice barrier because mainly they just dont want too. She will stare you down if she doesn't think you reach the standards she expects from potential friends. It may seem snobbish and stupid but brought up in a world where everyone needs to know someone and if you don't your not worth knowing then what is the point in shooting the breeze with riff-raff. She is still incredibly young, naive and sheltered to not realise what makes a true friend but to her money and status speak louder than personality any day. So you will get her ignoring you and you will have her pass you like you dont exist and if you dare speak to her without her allowing it well, more fool you.
Ignorant: She doesn't really care about the depth of a person but rather what she can acquire from said person. This trait runs through her family as wealthy businessmen and women you can not trust you heart but your mind. There is no point in making friends with the janitor, he failed at life. He wasted his education and now has a job scrubbing toilets. You don't mix with those type of people, they can do nothing for you. If someone is successful or makes a lot of money it automatically makes them good people (In their eyes!) You can trust the green stuff, you can trust clean, smart and business minded people. Not free-spirits (filthy hippies!), or open minded modern people. They live in la-la land. So (don't) forgive her for giving you a long look up and down and completely judging you on who you are, what you've done and where you'll end up in a matter of seconds. If you dont pass the mark then she doesn't want to know. And it is completely based on looks, attitude, even accent! (if you sound stupid you probably are!) You could be the most intelligent person in the world and dress like a hobo and because of this snap judgement she won't even give you the time of day. I mean you could try and prove her wrong but who would want to? She's a b***h...
Because of her shadowed upbringing she tends to make snap judgements about people and will look down on those that are 'different'. If you look like a;
.Hill-billy? Then your stupid and poor.
.Emo? A crybaby with no friends.
.Overweight? No willpower and/or lazy.
.Skinny? You have low self esteem/attention seeker -(don't look at the irony at this, she doesn't judge herself).
Although never to the extent of getting her own hands dirty she make sure to pass on snide remarks to her clique and if said group of friends decide its time to do some bullying, well, she tends to stand to one side and let them. She doesn't lower herself to physical violence, only uncultured people do that, she would rather hurt you with the nasty side of her tongue if she is going to do it at all. Its not her fault you are beneath them, maybe if you tried harder you wouldn't get beaten up all the time....
Spoiled: Having everything given to her at a click of a finger Frejya is use to getting what she wants, when she wants and how she wants it. This has become such a factor that when she DOESN'T get it she will pester, poke, convince, bribe and annoy till she does. You bought the golden tiara? Well she wanted silver, take it back. It cost 6 times the amount of the silver one! Doesn't matter take it back. You can see where this is going. But of course there is the chance that someone else is just as stubborn and strong willed as her and won’t bend to her demands. Well prepare for the mother of all pouters and then the sister of all evil rearing its ugly head. Freyja didn’t get where she was in the popularity contest by admitting defeat and if her usual tactics don’t work then she will bring out the big guns. She will be that nasty cow in the school corridors getting you bullied. She will be the one snapping pictures of you in your granny-underwear after PE. She will be telling that boy you like that you lick his school photo at night.
Along with this she becomes increasingly stubborn when it comes to arguments or opinions she holds. If she thinks she right (or knows she right!) she wont budge from that thought. You can argue with her till the cows came home but she wouldn't change, wont open her mind to other possibilities or another way of seeing things. She just wont! Your wrong and always will be! Of course this attitude can get her into trouble, although she has certain respect for teachers and elders if you express a thought that she thinks is wrong she will tell you. Doesn't matter who you are, she is right, you are wrong!!!
Physical Description:
Hair: Teal green hair that she wears in bangs - she wears it up in a loop at the back and decorates her hair in many different ornaments/accessories. To be let down it would reach her bum, but with some nasty experiences with the lower classes she rarely does this (gum is hard to get out D: ) Inspiration: [Hair Colour and bangs]
Eyes: Purple almond shaped eyes, she wears as much make up as she can get away with.
Face: Oval face, big ears that she hides with her hair - She is from singaporian desent.
Body: Slender body, doesn't really have hip or boobs to speak of but can accentuate when she needs too. She is very image concious and is a devoted gym member. Being 5"7 and only weighing in at 112Ibs she dangles very close to the anorexic side of the line, but she has no daemons with food, she just wants her body to be at its most perfect.
Fashion: Freyja likes to dress elegantly, and goes for a peppy sort of fashion. There is never an outfit that can't be improved, be it with a dazzling brooch or some gorgeous beads, she has the accessories to make it pop. Her hair is the main port of call for anything stylish but it runs down to the tips of her toes as well. Even in her school uniform she must have something that screams her personality, even if its to wear French knickers covered in lace underneath! Influenced by all eras she tries to follow the latest fashion trends but by pulling it off with her own Freyja twist.
Jewellery: Freyja knows how to accessories, she has been doing it as long as she remembers. Loving beautiful eccentric pieces over subtle ones she tends to lavish her hair in clips and ribbons, making the most out of her beehive while she has it. She has only her ears pierced, but wont have anything else being pierced or tattooed. She loves the beauty that material possession can bring to her body, not the other way round.

Senshi: Sailor Hera, Senshi of Peacocks
Name origins: Hera (Hair-a) Asteroid: [X] Goddess [X]
Sphere: Peacocks
Transformation Phrase: Hera Power Make Up!
Challenge
Long: In the name of Hera, I'll cut you out of the pecking order!
or
Short: "You have run A-fowl of me"
Senshi Attack
Argus Healing Remedy! Summoning a glowing ball of aqual light Sailor Hera lifts it above her head causing the ball to expand and stretch into a gateway for hundreds of other translucent shimmering peacock feathers to float down within a column of light.
[Attack Info: The Pros: This power will grant Sailor Hera of small level of healing. Any minor cuts, wounds, sprains or bruises will be cleansed and healed. Although it can’t be performed on anyone else it also stops other characters from ‘stealing’ its power if they attempt to stand under the column of feathers.
The Cons: It can not heal broken bones, large wounds or injuries or fatality. She can not perform this on anyone else other than herself and if ‘pushed’ from the column before the spell has reached it end (20 seconds aka a 2 post limit) it will disappear leaving her still injured. Although minor wounds will heal if it takes place any stamina lossed or weariness gained will still be there.
Duration: The Spell ICly will last for about 20 seconds but for RP rules it must be performed within a responding post. If Sailor Hera remains within the column the spell will take place in the second post after casting. If she is pushed out from the column during the other characters post then the spell can not take place. It can only be cast twice per battle.
Size: The column encases Hera from shoulder to shoulder and starts from about 2-3 inches above her head. It is impossible to stand next to her and receive any benefits from this attack. ]
Super Senshi
Argus Sparkling Renewal! The same attack but now with added sparkles! A column rains down shimmering peacock feathers and sparkles upon Hera casting its magic over her. She can now choose to cast it over an ally instead and the column will now move with her.
[Attack Info: The Pros: The power can not only heal Sailor Hera but gives her a feeling of refreshed rejuvination! All the battle weariness goes and she becomes fighting fit for round 2! The healing side of the spell is increased and the spell can now fuse fractures together and mend serious wounds (although the limb/area will be still be very painful).
The Cons: Although the healing is boosted it can not heal any fatal injuries or shattered/crushed bones of any sort. Sailor Hera can still be pushed from the column which will end the spell and deplete the casting limit. The rejuvination effect will only bring her to the level she was at at the start of the battle, so if she has already worn herself out by running everywhere before the fight she will only feel that rested.
Duration: The spell being more powerful will now take only one post to summon and last for about 20-5 seconds. She can cast it twice within a battle.
Size: The column encases Hera from shoulder to shoulder and starts from about 2-3 inches above her head. It is impossible to stand next to her and receive any benefits from this attack.]
Eternal Senshi
Taos Spirit Escalation! Casting out Sailor Hera brings forth two fans of translucent peacock feathers which she wraps around herself. Melting into her skin these cause her to glow brightly.
[Attack Info: The Pros: This spell allows her to have super fast healing to the point where all physical damage has minimal effect for the allotted time. Cuts, punches or even shots will be expelled and healed while the magic is working causing only seconds worth of initial pain before being healed.
The Cons: All magic attacks will pass through this barrier and still injure her. She is only protected while the barrier is up and any injuries caused after will still injure her.
Duration: The spell can only be cast once per battle and only on one person, herself or another. The time span of the fast healing is 20 seconds long and in that time all physical attacks will have no effect but magic still can. ]
Fighting style
Freya is not a born fighter, she doesn't do fighting, getting dirty etc. Rather her words have more of a sting than her punch but that doesn't mean she is weak. Training everyday has given her an athletic body, and where she fails in having a fighting style she gains in speed and stamina, running away may not be the best tactic to winning a fight but you would be hard pressed to catch up with her, and while she can continue for hours she can wear out an enemy over long distances, then taking her chance to strike back.
She is also not one to let a little thing like cheating get in her way. If you have left your blind spot open she will go at it tooth and nail, the term "stabbed in the back" is a a loosely fitting description of her style. while your busy attacking someone else Freya will try to sneak around you and hit while your distracted, and anything that comes to hand will be a good enough weapon for her (as long as its not covered in grease or something!)
Fuku Ideas:
Colour: Indian Peacock Colours, greens, blues, gold etc

First, before anything else… Omg, I love that font. *font nerd* Second, I’m very happy to see that you put Hera and Peacocks together. You have no idea how happy that makes me.
One spelling error I caught: “her own gym situated in the east wing”
It makes me very happy to see histories on the hobbies! I can’t wait to see what you have for her third hobby, her virtues, and her powered form! The visuals definitely remind me of “peacock”. Best of luck to you!

In the future, we actually prefer not to have histories for the hobbies in the profile. It's more appropriate for journals, and complicates the stamping process, since it's not necessary. The form should contain the basics about the character, not the details/their personal history [though it's all very interesting], which can go in a bonus post beneath the two reserved for forms.
BUT ON TO THE CRIT:
CIVILIAN:
The hobbies are great! No issues there [just had to dig through the histories].
Determination is fine, the questions/theories are unnecessary. You're supposed to tell us why they're that way, not leave it up to us to figure it out. Virtues and flaws are mostly for showing positive and negative ways they interact with others.
Determination, however, seems to conflict a bit with her Stubborn flaw, which really reads as "SPOILED". You need to explain how she reacts when she doesn't get what she wants, not what she does to try and convince them, but what she does when none of that works.
The Shallow and Quick to Judge flaw should be combined, since they have the same root in her personality [also, you have to have the same amount of flaws as you have virtues, and this'll balance that out for you ;D]. They should be combined under the term "Ignorant," since that's what she really is.
If she's attending the gym so much, she should probably be heavier, because she has muscles.
ONTO THE POWERED:
We prefer it when animal-based spheres reference the themes and heritage/mythology of the animals, rather than literally represent some aspect of the animal itself [the feather sphere]. The peacock has a rich, rich amazing mythology that you might really like!
There's no rule against literal attacks, of course, and you're asking for stamp, not critique, so if you change those things I mentioned, you should be go as is.
Just note that her Sanctuary attack is her super attack, and it's her eternal attack that's left blank.

Hey, mind if I pop in a quick attack idea? OuO So peacocks are symbols of rebirth and beauty, but also vanity. I think it would fit really well if Hera were a healing senshi since it covers those first couple of ideas -- however, I also think you could take it one step further than that. What if, to cover the vanity aspect of peacock symbolism, she can only heal herself until she's a higher power tier?
