Name: Ravenna
Gender/Pronoun: She/her
Hobbies: Knowledge Seeking: Ravenna is no fool, nor is she so feral that she's incapable of thoughtful conversation. The Captian she was once bonded to, before he earned his promotion, had attempted to teach her how to play chess and even how to read simple books. She can identify the letters of the alphabet and numbers but skills such as math or advanced reading are beyond her understanding. That said, one secret desire she still holds on to is that she wishes to find someone to read stories to her again, but her distrusting nature makes this highly unlikely.
Mimikry: When she learned to use her glamor, the world was a fascinating place. But it was quickly realized that humans' kindness is not given freely and at times they are worse than the stronger youma in the Rift. Still, she tries to emulate their speech, how they walk, mannerisms to be replicated so she can pass as one of them. There is still so much she doesn't know that conversation is more difficult because she isn't familiar with technology or current world issues outside of her 'hunting ground' and so she often pretends to be mute if only to be left alone.
Magical treasures: Small hint offered towards anyone who wants to try and gain her trust, trinkets with magical properties are a good way to pique her interest and or curiosities. She has two nests in the Rift and one just outside Destiny City that have some small treasures. Only very few hold a sentimental value to her but the rest lose their worth after the magic is spent. OOCly this just means she is tempted by and collects IC-RP items, mementos are rarely kept.
Virtues: Independent: Ravenna doesn't have a pack mentality and does not need anyone in order to survive. She does what she deems necessary to live another day but to her asking for help is a sign of weakness and she doesn't want anyone to have that perception of her. Freedom is what she desires most even if it is a lonely path to tread upon.
Observant: Living in the Rift where there is danger everywhere has taught Ravenna how to be mindful of her surroundings and to have a high environmental awareness of what is going on around her. She had to adapt to being fleetfooted, flighty if the situation calls for it, and quick thinking. However, outside the Rift is unfamiliar territory; Destiny City is not her normal terrain and so she utilizes her glamour when possible to familiarize herself with an area before using it as a hunting ground for satisfying her hunger for energy. In terms of conversations, she picks up on tone and body language rather quickly to determine intent or motive and will react accordingly.
Flaws: Distrustful: Over the decades, if not significantly longer, she has been dusted enough times and sent back to the Rift that she has visceral hate for anyone affiliated with Order or may sympathize with them. Additionally, this seething anger extends to corrupts, no exception, and anyone who has the power or intent to force her to do something against her will. Once, for a short while, she had been bonded to an agent and while he taught her many things, when he earned his promotion he became cowardly and would send her to fight while he stood idly by or ran away. He eventually died due to his own cowardice but because of him, she would rather flee than give someone the opportunity to hold power over her or kill her if it can be evaded.
Volitile: Do something to earn her ire and that poor decision-making will be met with swift punishment. It is supremely unwise to intentionally disrespect, make demands that force her into submission, betray or harm her in any way. It is a fantastic way to become her next intended prey depending on the severity of the perceived transgression. Keep in mind, she is not human and miscommunication can trigger this behavior. Even if her perception was wrong, that does not mean she will show any measure of remorse or regret for lashing out. Fair warning, don't touch her feathers without permission otherwise, she will go for the throat.
Outfit: Fantasy, elf inspired

WIP NOT SUBMITTED
Physical Appearance: In essence a harpy-youma. Ravenna's appearance maintains the typical half-human and half-bird aesthetic. This is not to be confused with a half-youma as she does not adhere to the rules of wearing a military-style uniform.
Body: While maintaining the face, torso arms and upper legs of a human, Ravenna has pointed ears, bony hands with claws instead of nails, and lower legs of a raptor-like bird of prey with sharp dagger-like talons.
Eyes: Pupiless lime-green eyes with purple seclara and acid-green glowing marks on each cheek.
Extra: Lastly, she supports fully functional gradient green wings and tail feathers that allow for flight.
Youma Type: Humanoid
Abilities:
Ability 1 : Physical Attributes: Harpy
Ravenna's has fully functional wings that allow her to fly silently while carrying up to 60 lbs (half her own weight) unincumbered. Between 60 and 125 pounds, she can hover with some difficulty the closer it is to her weight but cannot ascend any higher. Her weight up to 180 pounds more would result in a steady slow fall if she felt inclined to help someone. Anything more than 180 is a dead drop to the ground. While her wings can be damaged they won't break easily. Additionally, she has sharp claws on both her hands and dagger-like talons on her bird-like feet used for attacking and defending delivering slashing or piercing damage.
Ability 2 :
Lifting her hands, Ravenna snaps both shut and in doing so summons up to 6 shadowy feathers, one between each finger, that emit a soft greenish or purple glow and last for 20 seconds. At this time she is able to throw these dart-like projectiles at an enemy or the surrounding area up to 15' away with decent accuracy (anything more would have higher chances at missing) and recall them back to herself in a straight line to be thrown again. There are no status effects associated with the sickly corrupted hue, rather being nicked or pierced by one will have the associated sensation of being cut or stabbed. Physically this may leave a paper-cut injury or worse at players' discretion. Ravenna can use this attack 3 times.
