Quote:
Druid:
xxxxxCommon Desc: They have given up the ways of magic in order to relearn the ways of alchemy. Druids only use natural un-spellbound ingredients to make their potions, but the results are (usually) quite potent. Some druids prefer to dabble in the 'dark arts' ie: poisons.
xxxxxNatural Ability:
xxxxxxxxxx • Poison Detection: Druids have a natural ability to detect which herbs are poisonous and are not. They are immune to all poison.

Weapon: A staff, but wait, it gets better!
~Dark brown wood, it came from a tree that she used to climb on in the backyard.
~Green vines, they climb all over the staff. As she grows, the vines will also grow.
~Red crystal, it levitates at the top of the staff, kinda show cased. As she grows, the crystal will start to glow.
Personality: Awkward, Loyal, Empathic, Curious, Impulsive.
Shy Awkward first, Loyal later
She isn't the best with random introductions, doesn't know how to act, doesn't know the boil/ghoul. It's best that she doesn't give the intro, stuttering and a whole feeling of awkward comes out of her. After getting to know them, things will get a lot easier, even if it's only been a few minutes. When Basil warms up to you, she will tend to stick next to you and help with whatever needs done, smiling all the way, even if she is still quiet. If your a friend, then you have a faithful one who will always have your back and wants the best for her friend. Failing someone she likes can leave a big lasting bruise to her, more than any physical pain, also goes the other way, but she will forgive if the effort is put in.
Empathic Mood Matcher
Basil can take a hint, and knows how to blend in with a crowd. If she is exited, and people are wearied out by it, she will immediately calm down (once she notices it) and act with the crowd. Sometimes she can't hide her happiness or amazement so sudden outbursts of herself may just pop out and she thinks that's a bad thing, a blush will probably follow. A neutral poker face/looking bored is her usual expressions, being outwardly happy and sad are reserved for small groups of one or two.
Apathetic with Poison
Being immune to poison has its ups and downs, for one, she can eat piratically anything edible and won't be worried about getting sick, its a neat little trick, that Basil cares nothing for. Not worrying about running around in forests and swamps, she will even pick up the poisonous plants she finds and stick them in her pocket without a second thought, saving them for later. On the other hand, just because Basil can eat it, doesn't mean it tastes good. The biggest downside may be that she can't get drunk, as alcohol acts as a poison even though small, but she really doesn't care, no loss to her.
Acting on Impulse
If something seems like a good idea, then she will most likely do it, a quick look at pros and cons, then off Basil goes. Never having much of a thought for safety it can get her into trouble in more ways than one. Didn't go as planned? Little Basil will most likely still be happy she had a go, even no one else thinks so.
Action leaves a Smile
Kinda ties with Impulsive, a quick adrenaline rush can always leave her pumped, from discovering a new thing-a-mah-gig, fighting a ninja, to running to her new destination. As long as things don't last too long it's good and fun to Basil. Ending up badly bruised or burned my not feel good, at all, but she will be laughing about it later.
Just a Hobby
Potions, poisons, medicine, herbs, plants, bottles, tools and whole Lotta books is what makes Basil's favorite thing to do, Potion making! Or rather putting this and that together because they can do this and that so she she can see what they do when mixed, or something like that. Going out on little adventures Basil will pick up any plant that sparks her interest and stuff into one of her many pockets for later experiments, If the outing was planed for picking ingredients then this reaper has a little basket for carrying those. She will take what she finds home, and pretty much catalog it with some quick notes, maybe a name, a sketch, and some proprieties. Put them in separate jars then start the experiments. Any potion made is in a bottle and labeled, for more experiments and tests of course.
Organized to a Point
She may not appear very organized and neat at first because of the messy looks, but Basil is pretty clean little Druid. The piles of stuff she has isn't neat, in fact it is messy and not strait at all, but it is still in it's own respective pile/stack/corner of the room/box.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Basil's parents kept pushing her to go, and quite literally too, but she knows that the school would be very good for her, academic and friend wise. After the Christmas train ride she was very exited to join, even though she still hadn't met many boils or ghouls. Expanding her knowledge is always a good thing, and training her FEAR while playing with her potion making hobby is her main goals in the school. Hopefully there will be lots of shilling adventures for her.
Botany, Curses, Hexes, and Spells, Nurse Cricket's classes, Human History Studies, and Minipet Training are classes she looks forward to and would excel at. (Okay maybe not Human Studies! but she knows she should go anyway.)
Arts n' Crafts Club, and Garden Club are clubs she would be interested in joining. Skulinary Club would be good for her, but not on the top of the list.
FEAR: Not sure about it, but have a quote from the Druid reaper info
"their Fear relates to nature in some way or form"
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Dark green
Hair Colour/Style: Black, kinda messy, split at the side, (refer to my Refs for her hair, it's a bit odd). She has red crystals in her hair taking place of hair ties that match the crystal on her staff. I don't really care for the shape of the crystals, but I would like them to be the same shape.
Skin Colour: Tan/Medium tone
Clothing Style/Colours: The main colors in her outfit are Green, brown, black and some red.
~~Shirt: Green loose tunic with no sleeves, the shirt has an attached necklace on it, and a black sash at the waist. There is some red at the bottom of the shirt.
+The necklace has black thread with a dream catcher on it, and instead of feathers on it, it has brown leather fringes on it, fringes look Like This, but I want them dark brown and only about 1-3 of them.
~~Pants: Dark brown cargo pants, lots of pockets and they look pretty worn down with a hole in one knee. Not too thin, and not to loose like The Left Pair
~~Shoes: Black boots, whatever look good, they can be under or over her pants.
~~Gloves: Black fingerless gloves, good for climbing tress and picking ingredients! So, they are more work gloves and not fuzzy ones.
~~Skull Pin: I'm not sure where I want it, could on the not on her sash, or in place of the dream catcher(but the fringes still there)
Extra: freckles on her cheeks. I like the current outfit, but not love it, so all clothing is subject to change. >.<
