[ my baby grew up ;A; ]
CIVILIAN STUFF:
Name: Ridley Pendergast
Nickname: Ree
Age: 9 10 12 17
Birthday: January 1st
Sign: Capricorn
Gemstone: Garnet [January], Ruby [Capricorn]
Blood Type: B+
Favorite Foods: Grilled cheese sandwiches, fish (cooked or raw, whatever) and still baby carrots with ranch dip.
Hated Foods: Heavily processed foods that don't agree with her. Whenever her mom actually attempts to cook something.
School: Meadowview
HOBBIES:
Adventure is out there:
Ridley almost lives outside, preferring to be anywhere but at home (wherever that may be). Horsing around, tumbling about, playing (even though she is a little old for some of that, thanks), getting dirty, going on a hike or even just sitting outside on her phone. She'll figure out something to do outdoors.
This is my iPhone, obviously I didn't get it to make calls:
Well, now she does make calls. Sometimes. But, that's what texting is for now, right? Ridley still lives on her phone even far past childhood but now being a teenager, the restrictions of old are long gone. Now she has facebook, instagram and even more addicting games to play.
Freeze Frame ~:
Her phone (and being in California for as long as she was) at least helped kindle a new passion for Ridley, photography. Some of her images might be 'I'm 17 and this is deep' but it at least sparked a new kind of creative energy and outlet for the teenager.
KITTENS:
It wouldn't be Ridley Pendergast if she didn't still have obsession with cats. She is a little more conscious about not downright stealing them these days but oh she will make it a mission to stalk them, cuddle them and love all that cross her path. (and take pictures... so many instragram posts about cats).
VIRTUES:
EVERYTHING IS STILL AWESOME:
Ridley remains a very positive and optimistic individual. That's not to say she's naive to believe that everything is just sunshine and rainbows but she will tend to have a very favorable outlook on life. (Sometimes everythings not awesome, but that doesn't mean everything is hopeless and bleak). And if she has to, she'll see if there is a way to turn things around.
We'll get there... eventually!:
She's not always the sharpest tool in the shed but that doesn't mean she doesn't try nor let the problems she faces get the best of her. Sometimes she has to take the long way around to reach a conclusion or the solution; be it a creative or even unconventional method. Or sometimes its just hours later that the light bulb appears over her head and she finally gets it.
Even the devil can have a halo:
As rough and rowdy as Ridley can get, there is still a decent head on her shoulders. She can be polite and respectful when she wants to be; the example of a model citizenship. Part of it is a gained way to sweet talking and worm her way into people's hearts, a lot of it was just hard work on her parents' part. And some of it because she knows she might get something out of it.
FLAWS
strike first and ask questions later:
Ridley has the habit of reacting first before thinking, be it responding to the world around her or even simply to people. She's head strong and just goes for it without thinking of the repercussions of what she does (sometimes realizing it wasn't the best decision). And with people, she can be spew a good amount of insults (even sometimes a punch in extreme cases) if pushed in such a way; a defense mechanism that she really knew grew out of.
Overwhelming and a little overboard:
Hyperactivity coupled with barrels of optimism is bound to lead all kinds of obnoxious. Not to mention, how she generally just reacts to things - be it with EXTREME OPTIMISM or a punch in the face. Ridley can be unbearable at times and a little clingy if she finds interest in you.
Need to direct that focus:
Distractions are the worst and more so when there are so many things going on at once to cause her mind to wander. Ridley can really only focus on one task at a time least her mind wanders and she even forgets what she was doing in the first place. Working in silence helps or with background noise that's familiar and not new, or the task at hand has been made to sound like the most exciting thing in the world.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: wide and burnt orange.
Hair: yellowish orange, bright and happy in color [like an orange peel]. Pigtails, the longer strands loop back into the bac of her head while the shorter strands hang loose; the base of the loops are past her shoulders, almost to the waistline. She also has longer strands that are pulled into braids to wrap around the bases of her pigtails. Pointy bangs upon her forehead and forelocks that frame around her face.
Face: round and lean
Overall: pale skintone, medium height and a pretty decent build with all the activity she gets.
Clothes: Ridley enjoys very girly clothing, now with a little more style and perhaps a little too much influence from instagram.
SENSHI STUFF:
[These two are still the same, worded a little better]
Sailor Scout Attack: Herbal Remedy
Hygiea claps her hands together and then pulls them apart slowly to reveal an herb encased in a glowing orb of light. The herb will stay encased in the glow throughout its appearance on the field. Hygiea can either physical use it on someone [rubbed or absorbed] or even have someone consume it.
CONDITIONS
. Can do this twice throughout a fight. But the first herb must be used before she can summon another one.
. The orb stays on the field and has to be used within 15 seconds before it vanishes.
. Herbs have a healing effect, but very minor; so applied externally only the cut or bruise it is applied to with be healed or soothed. If a major cut, scratch and is one that would require stitches, the herb will not completely heal it but at least make it more treatable and less prone to infection. If consumed, its like taking some pain killers [think ibuprofen]
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Herbal Mix-up
Hygiea claps her hands together, similar to her regular attack, but this time two herbs appear in the small glowing orb. She now has the option to use the two herbs on two different people or combine them for a SUPER effect. Again, she can physically use it on someone, have them consume it or throw it at someone.
CONDITIONS
. This time, the introduction of harmful herbs come into play. The leaf will still look generic so she has no idea what kind she will have summoned.
. NEW. Negative herbs. If applied externally, prepare for a rash! If applied internally, prepare for a stomach ache! These can linger as long as the player wants.
. She can perform this twice, but the first two herbs cannot be on the field. If she does her regular attack before this, that also must be off the field before this goes.
. The orb(s) have a longer duration of 20 seconds on the field before it/they vanish.
. Positive effects and Negative effects are boosted if she combines the herbs, these effects are technically doubled but are still considered minor; that rash is bigger and itchier, that stomach ache is super distracting and makes you kind of nauseous, those pain killers are acting a little better, wow that cut is pretty much gone! If a negative and positive are combined, it is negated and using the herb does nothing.
THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT. IF I GET TO KEEP THE CAT:
Eternal Sailor Attack: Bowl of Hygiea
Hygiea holds her cat plush outward in her palms, like holding it in a bowl. As she casts her attack, the cat liquefies into a warm glowing liquid. As she throws her arms out, sprinkling the ground with the liquid, a field of herbs sprout up to aid or hinder all powered individuals.
CONDITIONS
. This field is only about 20 feet from her initial casting.
. She can only do this once, since it takes a lot of energy out of her.
. Effects will be random, either a field of helpful herbs or a field of harmful herbs.
. Effects have the chance of being INSTANT if touched with bare skin, otherwise, the herbs will remain on the field as long as Hygiea is able to keep it up [I'd say about 5-6 TOTAL posts, so if she's in a meta .... someone please save her], so players can pick them up and essentially use them.
. Conditions and strength are on par of her basic senshi attack.
Nevermind about that since plans have now changed! Going back to the original attack, so that will be reworded and fit better with the shop ~
Eternal Sailor Attack: Bowl of Hygiea
Hygiea holds out her hands in front of her body, palms up as if forming a bowl. As she casts her attack, they fill with a warm glowing liquid that she is then able to sprinkle upon the ground as she swings her arms out and around her. Herbs will then sprout from the ground, around her and any powered individuals in the field of attack.
CONDITIONS
. This field is only about 20 feet from her initial casting.
. She can only do this once, since it takes a lot of energy out of her.
. Effects will be random, either a field of helpful herbs or a field of harmful herbs.
. Effects have the chance of being INSTANT if touched with bare skin, otherwise, the herbs will remain on the field for 30 seconds, so players can pick them up and essentially use them.
. Conditions and strength are on par of her basic senshi attack, and as such only one effect will take place on the character (ie, a character can't grab a handful and help all their cuts or cause a whole bunch of rashes on another character).
SPITBALLING IDEAS:
FULL SENSHI ATTACK UPGRADE LIKE WHEN SHE ACTUALLY FINALLY BECOME A REGULAR POWERED SENSHI. HAHA... HAHA HAAAA:
. More powerful effects of the herbs (so they just have a better healing effect)
. As per Kyu, longer duration for all the herbs: 20/30/45 (or even 25/35/45)
. She can actually predetermine which kind of herb she produces (helpful or harmful) and they will be colored as such (pink orb with orange leaf is helpful while the inverse of orange orb and pink leaf is harmful)
. More effects on eternal? *shrugbird*
If the cat needs to be turned into a personal item. And she's allowed to get said personal item:
. Hygiea is able to peel off the forehead flower symbol from the cat's forehead like a sticker and apply it on someone like an herbal salve. Basically gives her another basic senshi attack (or another super if she stick it on one of her herb balls, increasing the power).
