Please note that my current, preferred and active quest is for Ulmuka. Wanda is here for crits and to be worked on over time. I just needed her to be down on paper (err internet..) ^_^

--------------------


User ImageAMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Wanda
Nicknames: Swamp Witch (though not a witch at all), Swampy, AHHHHHHHH!! MONSTERRR!!! (most commonly heard XD )
Gender: Female
Age: 3 years since she 'awoke'

Faction/Race: Monster / Plant Elemental

History: Wanda's history is very brief.
One day she awoke in a swamp.
That's it.
Literally.
She found herself to be a living plant being with great strength and the ability to regenerate and communicate with the vegetation around her. With no memory whatsoever, she began to wander about the world and was met with mostly the 'OH MY GOD SWAMP MONSTER!!' sort of reaction. One day she encountered an old witch who told her of souls who were brought back in the swamp through magic and created to punish those who disrespected nature. She was pointed in the direction of the academy in order to discover herself and discover the ways of the world.

Personality:
Strong - Wanda is strong in both senses of the word. In the simplest way she's very physically strong, much more so than she would be as a normal human. In terms of her personality she is also emotionally strong. Waking up in a swamp and having people scream in horror is just fine with her. She'd prefer that those who would fear her do just that. In fact she enjoys it. She is also fully aware of her unorthodox looks and could care less for other kids insulting her. She is not the type to insult back but would bear the insults with no response. Her emotional durability seems to be natural, as she has no memory of hardships which could have worked this into her personality. Of course because of this strength she can sometimes seem a little aloof but it's entirely unintentional.

Clueless and Unrefined - Wanda is clueless but not ditzy. She just isn't very 'in the know' in terms of what boils and ghouls like or do. She's been mostly by herself and with no memories she can only go by what she's observed in her short lifetime. She needs guidance to become more aware of the world. She is also not really very refined. Most demons would probably want nothing do to with her. She has literally crawled right out of a swamp so you can imagine she isn't the best with things like 'manners'.

Hard Working - Wanda may not pick things up right away and she is far from an academic genius, but she has a knack for scaring people and wants to do better. She really wants to fit in and find herself so she is very dedicated to improving through hard work.

Instinct Driven - Wanda has some instincts that she cannot control. The first is her desire to do harm to ANYONE who is harming the environment. She has a kinship with all plant life. When driven to it, she has a serious anger management issue. Her other major issue is her uncontrollable fear of fire. She's terrified of it. Of course now that she is at school she needs to get it under control and conquer that fear.

Eager - Wanda really wants to make friends and fit in. She wants to find somewhere that she feels she 'belongs'.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Wanda is simply looking to find her identity. Alone in the swamp was certainly not the best place to 'expand her horizons' and so she wants to learn about herself AND the world.

FEAR: Deadly Green - Wanda can release seeds from her body which immediately sprout into plants upon hitting the ground. She can communicate with these plants as if they were an extension of herself (they are from her own body after all). SHE IS USELESS INDOORS unless the floor is dirt. The seeds need to be able to sprout. If she is on pavement then she must drop her seeds into a sidewalk crack, etc.

Year One - Wanda's seeds will produce vines. She can control these vines as an extension of herself for one turn. These are mostly offensive, whipping at or squeezing a target for damage determined by a dice roll.

Year Two - Wanda's vines are now bigger and stronger. She can do more damage in a larger range.

Year Three - Wanda's vines now have thorns. These do additional poison damage (determined by the roll of a second dice.. but she must roll over 5 in order to poison someone). Her vines may also now attack one additional opponent simultaneously. [This is assuming 3 to be the highest level of her power]

Natural Ability: Wanda is literally living plant matter. Plants are like family to her and she can communicate with them to a simple extent. This also means that she can reform damaged body parts out of plant matter around her. Of course if there is no plant matter around then she's out of luck. Also being made of plant matter pretty much assures that she's not fond of fire or droughts. In fact fire REALLY bothers her.

Physical Description:
Natural Form: Wanda looks like a hulking monster made out of plants. She's very large and strong and the only thing that makes her look like a female are some suspicious lumps that could be breasts and long hair.
School Form: At school Wanda is a much scaled down, feminized version of herself. She is still pretty tall (about 6'2") and looks to be muscularly built but she is still green and made out of plants, vines, sticks, etc. Her face is much more 'humanized' so others will be more comfortable around her.
Eye Colour: Glowing Red
Hair Colour/Style: Viney, Green
Skin Colour: Green plant material
Clothing Style/Colours: Green plant material. If she needs to wear clothing, it would be rather skimpy. She just isn't comfortable with her skin covered. Wanda will never wear shoes.
Extra: She's a swamp monster! She's covered in vines, tubers, and flowering plants. Her hair itself is vines, sticks and brambles. Her mood can sometimes be indicated by the state of the plants living on her body (blooming flowers if she's especially happy and she'd look 'wilted' if she was depressed).
References:
Monster Form: Similar to this
Humanized form: NUDITY WARNING (her face would be more human)
Hair & Face: Similar to this perhaps not as pretty
Clothes: Something similar to this if she can get away with it at school

MINIPETS

Due to her kinship with plants, Wanda loves plant minipets. Bug minipets are second in her eyes.. she HATES bombs and fire related pets. Obviously. She keeps her minipet closet full of Mashers and Tearjerkers.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. Eyeclops is one of Wanda's babies. She will speak softly to him (it's a HIM, btw), coo and tickle his little carrot chin. He's also devoted but not very well trained and often has 'accidents' where things get nibbled on. 'My carrot ate my homework' doesn't go over well with the teachers.










User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Latch is actually her oldest minipet. He was sucked onto her when she arose out of the swamp. He requires almost no effort to take care of and is usually always just sucked onto her shoulder or some other various body part. His lack of personality really helps their relationship.

Relations and Friends


Esmerelda Putz is the little old witch who took Wanda under her wing. Wanda, in her wanderings, came across the witch's swamp hut and in turn, the witch. Esmerelda herself is not the best of witches but serves her purpose in the swamp community for potions and minor enchantments. Funny enough her last name is rather appropriate, as she is very clumsy and forgetful. Through this clumsiness she brought into being another monster, Zelther, who is also now trying to to get into Amityville Academy. Esmerelda is a loving old witch and treats the two monstrous teens as if they were her own brood (and in a way, Zelther is). She has taught them both almost all they know of the world and society.. but that really isn't much since she's a bit of a hermit.

Zelther is a monster who Esmerelda accidently created when a bad mix of potions were knocked into her well water. Once she'd realized what happened (when he'd eaten one of her darling Batlings, of which she has many) she began to take care of him and help him with the ways of the world. Zelther is very personable and he and Wanda enjoy each other's company immensely. This is helped by the fact that neither of them have met anyone else! Wanda hopes Zelth can also get into school so that they can attend together.

I love her design, but I do have a few questions. Did her emotional strength come from the years of abuse? Did she develop a hard shell, or was she born with it? If she was born with it, is it a trait of her species, or just a trait singular to her?
What would her reaction be if someone...crushed a flower, for example? I love how instinct-driven she is, but how does it follow over into anger? Does she get SUPER RAGEFUL AWWWWHHHHGGGG every time, or is her reaction metered by how bad the damage to nature was?

My only concern is her FEAR. You may want to check with staff if it's alright for her to have offense and defense in her one ability. Just a thought

Oh god I love her monster form. EVEN HER HUMANOID(ish) FORM xD

She was definitely born with her steely inner self. I can't say whether it is just singular to her or her species... in most cases these sorts of beings have personalities in many ranges, just like people. Some are even less human and have no desire to even leave their swamp or question their motives.

Her rage would definitely be related to what damage is being done but she can over react. It's something I would like to experiment with in hopes that she learns to control herself. It's a part of the discovery and growth she is meant to make but she would definitely hulk out if she wandered into something like.. a logging camp.. or something. Now with something like Christmas trees... she would be severely disturbed (it would be like dressing up a corpse and parading it around for decoration). But she understands to an extent that people NEED to do things like cut down trees. She has a difficult time with things she deems unnecessary.

Yeah I am not as confident with her FEAR as I should be. I feel like it needs to be refined. Any sort of input?

I am glad you like her!! I felt like the place needs a swamp thing.

Revised her fear.

I hope it's a little more definitive and fits in a little better.
