Name: Stormy Ortega
Nickname: n/a :: rp earned
Age: 18
Birthday: February 29 (born in 2000, a leap year)
Sign: Pisces
Gemstone: Amethyst
Blood Type: AB-
Fav. Food: Ben & Jerry's ice cream, basically all fruits and any drinks/shakes associated with them
Hated Food: Pickles and other equally sour things
School: Destiny City University :: English major
Hobbies:
Reading/Audiobooks - While not to the level of a true bookworm, Stormy likes to engage in fantasy/sci-fi stories, whether it's while sitting at her desk waiting for class to start or on the drive home. This tends to happen instead of socializing with others, like in the class example, though she's also used it as an excuse to eavesdrop on conversations around her. Her interest also extends to fanfiction & certain manga (to some extent).
Piano - Stormy has been playing since she was five, and it shows. She may have small hands, but not even Rachmaninoff's scale-spanning chords can stop her. When not practicing what her teacher assigns, she likes to try and recreate popular songs on the radio or music she's heard in other media. Learning that and then remixing it her own way is in and of itself a pastime.
Disneyphile - Dear God, she loves Disney. The movies, the merchandise, the discourse and critiques and analyses: if it's about The Happiest Place on Earth, she probably knows it and then some. If she doesn't have the media on dvd, she's probably got it torrented onto her laptop.
Virtues:
Creative - In her world, harsh storms are simply letting out the tears and anger of others, people are fated to meet for one reason or another, objects can carry emotional depth and memories, words have real power over people based on the contours of the letters and the sounds that comprise them, and so on. She understands her beliefs are bizarre and knows none of them are real; she chooses to believe them anyway because it adds color to the world and makes it even more beautiful and interesting to her. Stormy's daydreaming leads to a rich imagination, so she's not one who makes boring conversation. She knows it paints her as offputting and an oddball to some people, but she's already long embraced her ability to spin a tale out of nothing; heck, she's going to college for it.
Obedient/Peacemaker - Stormy's no rebel. For the most part she's more than happy to get a task and complete it to the best of her ability, no complaints. As her inner mind is often chaotic, she likes to have her outside world have a sense of order and logic to balance things out. If something is amiss, she'll quietly try and get it fixed so that no-one notices. As she herself may not be the most stable and dependable person at times, she craves the safety in rules and adheres to them.
Compassionate - Oh, how she cares. Her heart bruises as easily as a pear, but she can't help herself. Why would she? What would the world be like to her if she didn't care? Her empathy leaks out to strangers and friends alike, allowing Stormy to see all sides of the story and understand others more easily than some might. It can become a problem whenever this emotional connection becomes too much to bear, however, but on the positive side, you can be sure that Stormy is sympathetic to even the smallest of causes.
Flaws:
Mercurial - Ah, the Pisces problem: emotions. Stormy's moods are usually fine, but when she gets down (and she does, quite often, if not in public), it tends to sour her mojo in general. She's prone to being indecisive on top of that, which exacerbates her vague grasp of her own emotions even more. While having a form of depression itself is not a flaw, the way she handles it (that is to say, tends to be ruled by those fluctuations in mood and barely seeks help for it) definitely is. It doesn't help that she can be sensitive even on her best days.
Deeply Introverted - You'll never really know what she's thinking, even as her best friend, even as a lover. She hates so much to be in the spotlight that she refuses to acknowledge her own existence and meaningfulness. Stormy's quite good at putting on a smile in public and seeming to be quite social for an introvert, but it just makes the recharges in between all the rougher. Bottling up her emotions is way easier than dealing with all that nonsense. Even how she talks to others is in an indirect fashion, as she's easily intimidated. She'd rather feed her escapist tendency than confront something head on.
Low Self Esteem - There's no confidence in Stormy to speak of. She's more than happy to keep her head down and do what she's told. Responsibility, independence, anything requiring her to rely on herself is mitigated or avoided entirely whenever she can. She's quick to blame herself for the smallest things and apologize even if she's not involved. It's the double edged sword of her compassion and need to find the status quo resolved. There's always someone to blame, and if it's a complex problem, it has to be her, right?
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Gray-green, sleepy/droopy looking
Hair: Soft pink and curly, turning a little white towards the ends; when down, it stops above her shoulders, but she likes to wear it up, usually in a loose chignon; there tend to be accessories added, like a flower or a music note pin
Face: Heart shaped, ears pierced (small earrings, probably silver if metal)
Clothes: Free-flowing, loose, and layered are key components to her wardrobe. She's hyperconscious of bare skin and wears even a light shawl or something like it in the summer, though legs can get something of a pass. Mori-kei fashion is a good reference. Cute leggings/stockings with designs tend to catch her eye as well. Her closet is here for additional ideas!

Senshi: Sailor Loreley, Senshi of Lamentation
Challenge: Nothing gold can stay.
Alts for later...
So it goes.
Who will remember you when you're gone?
Memento mori.
Fuku Colour: will discuss wardrobe w artist when the time comes!
Main Color:
Secondary Color:
Fuku: will discuss wardrobe w artist when the time comes!
Attacks:
Lamentation - (n.) Passionate expression of grief or sorrow, often in music, poetry, or song form. The grief is most often born of regret, or mourning. Laments can also be expressed in a verbal manner, where the participant would lament about something they regret or someone they've lost, usually accompanied by wailing, moaning and/or crying. Laments constitute some of the oldest forms of writing and examples are present across human cultures.
Sailor Scout Attack: Keening Arrow
Loreley mimics drawing an invisible bowstring, and an arrow of pure energy appears where a normal one would be. If an opponent is struck, the affect area grows colder and numb, and a particular event begins to play in their head: this memory comes from something tragic or that caused them grief, meant to distract them from the immediate fight. The more recent or emotionally damaging, the more likely the attack will maintain its effect, differences in power notwithstanding. Anyone at a higher stage can easily shake off the strike, if not outright avoid it.
type: support (incapacitating/saboteur)
range & length of effect: up to 10ft :: 3/battle, up to 20 seconds
damage: localized numbness/chill (minor), soreness where struck; possible emotional effects varying from individual to individual; if target has no suitable memory, they are hit with a lingering feeling of loss/mourning with no source
restrictions: must have free hands, must be aimed, arrow must be loosed within 10 seconds of summoning or energy is dispersed,
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Keening Arrow v2
As above. At this stage, Loreley can send out two arrows per use, but effects do not stack if used on the same opponent. (aka two different areas of the body can be numbed, but they don't suffer twice the emotional effect).
type: support (incapacitating/saboteur)
range & length of effect: up to 15ft :: 2/battle, up to 25 seconds
damage: localized numbness/chill (moderate), soreness where struck; possible emotional effects varying from individual to individual; if target has no suitable memory, they are hit with a lingering feeling of loss/mourning with no source
restrictions: must have free hands, must be aimed, arrow must be loosed within 10 seconds of summoning or energy is dispersed
Eternal Sailor Attack: Chorus of the Lost
Loreley raises her arms and welcomes an unseen audience to join her in lamentation. In a 15ft radius centered on either herself or a nearby object, a seething mass of blurred figures begin to wail and cry, blocking the vision of those within unless they try to pass through them; these figures are illusory and offer no true resistance (much like wading in the shallow end of a pool) but seem very real to the eyes and ears. The pure grief expressed causes those with their own sorrows to feel compelled to join in and relive their personal agony, forgetting the fight entirely as the weight of their regret forces them to the ground. Should they give in to the wailing, they will feel colder and more numb until their own body feels almost foreign. Some may even see a loved one among the crowd, though the illusion cannot be interacted with. If no suitable sorrow is available, the sheer amount of noise and surrounding, ever changing crowd can be incredibly disorienting as it isolates its targets.
type: support (incapacitating/distraction)
range & length of effect: 15ft radius around either a designated object (within 15ft) or herself :: 1/battle, all enemies within range, up to 45 seconds
damage: physically weighed down while under attack's effects, possible major cold/numb effects (immediately dispersed when attack ends or if willpower overrides it), emotional effects varying from individual to individual
restrictions: must have free hands, must be aimed, casting time is ~10 seconds after designating centerpoint, must concentrate to keep illusion up

Hey, Medi! This is a really neat profile and doesn’t need much before I can stamp it, but I did want to go over a few things on her powered side! For her basic magic, there isn’t anything wrong with this one but since I had a change for a later one I wanted to let you know that if you’d like, you could bump up the duration of the magic to 20 seconds, and ‘if the target has no suitable memory the arrow is negated’—while you could keep that as it is, if you wanted you could also substitute to say that if they have no suitable memory, they will still have a lingering sensation of loss and mourning, even if they can’t place why. That way you can still have the magic function even if someone doesn’t have any strong memory to tie the emotions to! For her super magic, you say ‘only one arrow can be summoned at a time’—but I think it would be fine to say that she can magically fire two arrows simultaneously when she uses the attack, either at the same target or different targets. This way there isn’t a delay in her magic and she is still getting the full use out of them without dealing with a delay! For her eternal magic, in the paragraph it says ‘within a 30ft radius’, but in the spec notes it says 20ft—I think 20 feet would work for this stage! It is still a 40 foot area of effect, which is larger than most magic, but because of the actual effects of the magic I think this size will be fine! However, most Eternal Senshi magic only has one use and I think this one would be strong enough to warrant the same. If you want her magic to only affect up to three targets, that is fine—but I have an alternate suggestion! If you reduced her range to 15 feet, I think you could comfortably change the people affected to be ‘all enemies within a fifteen foot radius around her’. That is up to you, so let me know what you’d like to do and quote me if you have any questions or changes. I’ll be back as soon a possible with answers or a stamp!

Whoops this took longer than necessary to do.........
I added your suggestions in @ senshi/super attacks! For Eternal, I changed it to 15ft w/all targets in range! Would it still be okay to have it center on something she designates as well as herself, or would it have to center on herself? Basically able to point at an object within like ~15ft to have the effect center on, like a certain patch of grass or a nearby lightpole? If not, I'll edit it to just be centered on her!

I think it would work if you wanted to have the center be either her or an object within 15 feet of her, and then the actual magic has a 15 foot radius? (I can stamp that, but I just wanted to make sure you knew that—and there is one small typo in the magic, where it says she can cast a 30 foot radius instead of a 30 foot diameter for her eternal attack, but if that can be tweaked then I can stamp!
