Étaín Díomasach
❈
Name: pronunciation~ eh-TAYNE DEM-see
Race: majin
Position: {I'm still waffling, probably n/a though xD}
Stage: witchling ---> Reaper
Gender: female
Visual References: A lot of her is up to artistic interpretation, especially after she grows, but I have a few basic guidelines and some specifics for early on~
Skin: deep, golden tan
Hair: lots of long black hair
Eyes: brilliant indigo some favored shades
School Uniform: I'm not sure exactly how the template is set up for the uniforms, but I'd love if her bodice could be a medium dark grey (65-80%) with dark blue or purple shading to give it a blue-ish tone and I'd like her skirt to match her eyes. Her shoes can be whatever looks best with the above and I'd love for her to have sheer dark grey/black thigh-highs with some sort of lace/detailing at the top with accents that match her eyes.
Some little things that are more up to interpretation on all stages~ she has a fondness for wearing jewelery and weaving gems into her hair as well. I was thinking loose, tumbling curls for the hair, but if something straight or an up-do with jeweled hair sticks would look better with the template, I would trust the discretion of the artist.
Biography: {a basic idea to be fleshed out---the grammar is awful and the storyline jumpy and probably contradictory; but it should give an idea of where her personality comes from as I work on fixing it! This is just me typing as it comes to me.}
Étaín was born into a high-ranking family in a small settlement far to the west of Clarus Arbor, nestled in the southern-most fringes of the mysterious Forest of Trials. The village was hidden, isolated; a haven for those born Majin. The entire village was comprised of peaceful Majin who simply longed to live free and were proud of their lineage. Living apart on the edge of a very magical forest allowed them to survive without the need to feed on witches. This was a matter of pride for the villagers and the Founding Families.
The village may have been peaceful, but the Founding Families were not necessarily so. They were haughty and petty and spent a lot of time worrying about the purity of their lines. As a direct descendant of the first Mayor, Étaín found herself unable to measure up to her relative's demands. As she grew older, she became more and more withdrawn; appearing to be the 'perfect' biddable daughter, but really just wrapping herself in a shield of ice to ward of the constant disappointment of her various relatives when she could not live up to all their standards.
Her mother was a weak woman and a weak witch. She had the gift of elemental ice and had done something terrible {Étaín never knew what} when she was younger and was now afraid of her own powers; so she never bothered trying to use them beyond enchanting iceboxes for the village or helping with snow issues in the winter.
Her father was everything to her, the light in her life. She was daddy's princess and he, her knight in shining armor. He could do no wrong in her eyes. He was a powerful witch who held mastery over elemental fire. The need to become ever more powerful to protect all his family had built burned strongly within his soul. His family line was the oldest in the village and it was the standards of his family that crushed Étaín's spirits. The whole family was made up of elemental witches, making the girl feel a complete outcast when her powers did not manifest elementally or as early as the family expected them to.
Great-grandma points out Étaín has a connection to all elements in her blood, giving her the gift of time.
Daddy goes power-mad on a trip outside the settlement and starts devouring witch hearts; seeking out fire-based witches to enhance the powers he has any time he is traveling outside the forest village.
Daddy gets caught, reapers and black hearts follow him back and sweep through the village. Étaín is disgusted by her 'hero' and vows to never come back once she is able to leave.
Inspiration to Fight: When the Reapers took her father, rather than mourn his loss, Étaín was disgusted by his lack of control. The Reapers, to her mind, represented control. Control meant power: and power was what she had always desired.
Personality: After interaction with this majin, one might describe her as cold, detached, or remote. Étaín would say that she is disciplined and pragmatic---she would also be quietly thrilled to hear that she is found to be intimidating. She dislikes the company of others, but is entranced by the various make-up of humanity/majin. She studies them in the way she'd study one of her mother's ice spell books; something utterly fascinating but out of the realm of her understanding. She has developed a coldly polite, but oddly pleasant façade for when she needs to deal with social interaction. As she is happiest wielding her strengths, she gracefully accepts that she must attend school---and revels in being able to show off her abilities. However, she will not suffer fools and is not afraid to inform someone if she thinks of them in that manner. Étaín is clever, but she will not match wits with anyone unless she is certain she can win. If she is not winning, the one who is quickly finds they are experiencing a strange sense of being displaced in time or utter exhaustion.
Virtues 》
o dedicated :: Étaín takes her commitments very seriously. She was taught to always keep her word and is exceedingly careful to only give her word when she is certain she can do so.
o ambitious :: Étaín seeks to better herself, to learn, to gain even more power and control so she doesn't end up like her father.
o confident :: Above all else, Étaín knows she can rely on herself. It gives her strength and she greatly respects confidence in others.
Flaws 》
o fickle :: While Étaín does always keep her word, you have to get a promise out of her first. If no promise has been made, you can't necessarily trust her.
o poor player :: Or poor loser, if that is clearer... Étaín plays to win and usually only plays if she knows she can win.
o distrustful :: Trust is not something that comes easily to Étaín. There are various reasons for this, none of which she will share with you. The warmest regard you can generally win from her is her respect.
Likes 》
o music :: Probably Étaín's favorite thing in existence. She is quite musical herself, but would never allow anyone to witness that. She sings once in a while when she knows she is alone and always carries a small ocarina in her pocket.
o colors :: Bright, bold jewel tones fascinate Étaín. She has a very secret, very passionate love affair with brilliantly colored clothes and baubles. Or she thinks it is secret anyways... hard to keep a secret like that!
o knowledge :: Knowledge tends to translate eventually to power. Étaín likes power and knowing how to use it makes having it even sweeter.
Dislikes 》
o crowds :: A combination of cacophonous noise and the tight press of society is a recipe for a very UNhappy Étaín. Chaos is the antithesis of the discipline and order Étaín prefers, crowds tend to be an embodiment of chaos.
o skepticism :: Questioning the actions of this majin is most likely not the smartest thing one can do. Étaín does not lie about what she is if asked and she does not feed off unknowing 'victims.' She has not seriouslt harmed or killed anyone... but once she has earned her scythe, watch out.
o extreme cold :: Étaín likes to be nice and warm. Unfortunately, she's always warmest right after she has fed.
Quirks 》
o She had a pet rock as a child; a clear, shiny stone she found in a stream out exploring with her father. It is still kept on her person at all times.
o She absolutely despises it if anyone enters her home without wiping their feet.
o She is terrified of rabbits. Something about blank stares and twitching noses... though, they make excellent trim.
o She does not drink. She cannot handle alcohol well and refuses to let this weakness be known.
Ability Concentration/Theme: Temporal magics are what she specializes in, but she isn't terribly powerful at this stage. She is very adept, at using her power over time to manipulate sleep. This comes in handy when she gets a bit peckish.
She believes that she performs all her magic with an undeniable flair and grace; even if most of what she can currently do can be done by all witches. She simply makes it prettier, thank you very much.
