Name: Fia
Age: Fourteen
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Fia is tall, abnormally so. At fourteen she stands at 5’10 and growing like a weed (quoting her mom). She isn’t pretty, by any means. She has a reasonably strong build, and while it’s not obvious, is as strong as almost anyone you’ll ever come across. She can move fast, and if something’s in her way/coming at her, she can dodge it; though she usually knocks into something else. Like if she’s running, she can dodge around a tree, but she’ll probably end up crashing through some bushes instead. So yes, she has speed, but accuracy isn’t her strong suit.
Her hair is dark brown, with tiny golden flecks in direct sunlight. Her eyes are similar, dark brown, but lightening a little in direct light. They could be pretty, but they’re usually blazing with some sort of emotion, so there’s little to no room for anything else. She always has her hair tied back, even while she’s asleep. She hates brushing it, so it’s generally tangled and definitely scruffy. IF she brushes it out, and/or leaves it down, she gets several (much disliked) comments from her mother on how ‘nice’ it is. It’s thick, yes, but she doesn’t understand why her mother envies that; it just gets in the her face more easily because of that.
She rarely, if ever, wears any sort of feminine clothing. She sticks to pants and shirts, boots and (unfeminine!) gloves. She has an obsession with jackets: leather, cloth, thin, thick, any sort of jacket and its “Whoa, look at that! Cool, huh?” She’s generally seen in dark blue, brown, or black. Any shirt she wears has to be loose, she absolutely will NOT wear tight clothing.
One of her reasons for not dressing like most girls is that she doesn’t look like most girls anyway. She is, in all honesty, built like a boy, flat-chested and straight-figured. The only girl-like thing about her is the necklace she has on at all times. She never, EVER takes it off. Why? She won’t say.

Personality Then: Fia was an odd combination of quick thinking, and a quick temper. If you annoyed her, she'd bypass irritated and go straight to explosive. Normally, she was a bright, cheerful young girl that liked to laugh and loved to explore. She was brave, but reckless. Fortunately, should the latter lead her into trouble, some quick thinking and resourcefulness usually came to the rescue.
Though she had little concern for her own safety, she was ridiculously over-protective of her friends. If anyone were to hurt them in anyway, they’d be in for a very painful punishment (she usually did this unarmed, sometimes with a weapon, depending on how angry she was). She was extremely stubborn, and would never do anything if you tried to force her to. Trying to convince her worked better. Her loyalty was unshakable, and the last thing she’d ever do was hurt a friend. Her trust could be hard to gain, but was even more difficult to lose.
She was very fond of animals, and was extremely intrigued by mythical creatures. She had a strong love for the ocean, and if she didn’t see it for a month, maximum, she'd rather depressed. Well, that’s exaggerating, but she would be upset. The next best thing, though, was high places. She loved them. Trees, cliffs, whatever, as long as it was higher than everything else around. And she loved cold weather. Cloudy skies and windy days suited her just fine. She couldn't stand being in small places. Yes, she was claustrophobic. Not extremely, but she would start fidgeting, move around as much as possible, and eventually start looking for an escape route. She’d broken through more than one window. Another thing she couldn't stand is crowds, for similar reasons.
She had a liking for oddly shaped or colored stones or crystals. If she spotted one she likes, she'd pick it up and puts it in a box full of them. A considerably stranger obsession of hers was weapons. She liked knives and daggers and swords, and definitely had more than one pocket knife. She had a creative nature and was good at making or constructing pretty much anything, from picture frames, to carvings, to clay figures or metal items. She could make almost anything. Just don’t ask her to knit anything…
Oh, and don't give her anything caffeinated...
Personality Now: She's a little more cautious when on her 'adventures'. She's also a little more gentle, not as likely to lose her temper (quite as fast), but even more protective of friends than in the past. (Hurt her friend and you'll probably end up tied to a tree branch by your ears, with numerous cuts and bruises.)
And random things creep her out:
Fia has a tendency to get suddenly creeped out by dim rooms, certain smells, random places… they seem ‘familiar’ to her, as if she’s seen them before or some such thing, even if she hasn't. In any case, when this does happen, she'll freeze for a moment, then start muttering about how she ‘doesn’t like this place’. They (she and her friend) used to just continue with whatever they were doing, believing that the girl was imagining things. But eventually she will start shivering, and glancing around nervously, as if she can sense the presence of some sinister being. If they don’t leave, she'll gradually begin to panic, and either sit trembling in a corner or escape from the room. Krion has long since learned to see these… occurrences… coming, and how to prevent them: leave the room. The area, if they can, because within a hundred-foot radius of the room or place is "dangerous".
No, not, really, its just a psychological thing. No real danger and no real 'sinister presences'. It's all in her mind.
Earth History: She was born, actually, just after World War II, just outside New York. However, with the world just recovering from the chaos, her family had a hard time, despite being one of the few semi-well-off ones. They managed, for a long time, and she was nearly thirteen when it ended. Nope, no gunfight. No bomb-effects. The girl somehow managed to get trampled while working with a particularly wild horse of theirs.
Middle World History: Born to relatively well-off family, Fia's life has been an average one. She has one little brother (Danny, nearly eleven). Her mother teaches young children, and her father is a lawyer. When she was six, she met a little boy her own age. The two have been totally inseparable for the past eight years, spending more time together than with their own families.
Ability Suggestion: She can 'hear' things on the wind. Not like the air speaks, but she can hear things that have been said by people. However, it only works within about a week, or the words fade and she can't recover them. So if, say, she were in a criminal's hideout, she could figure out what they had been planning (provided it was said aloud). And, if she wants to spy (and she would, too) she can 'send' a very light breeze towards a certain area, then have it return with whatever was said. (This only works if she can see the 'destination'. If its not within sight range (or very close by), its too far/complex.)
Bottom line: she can hear things in the wind. Something like echolocation.
Pets: A male, black leppy called Jet. His eyes are bright brown, like his human's, and are ever full of curiosity. The little creature is as adventurous as his human, and often gets into trouble.
