Access Academy - Taetha

Published:

Description

Application for Access Academy. It looks so interesting, I really hope I get in!
Name: Taethalwyn Baequirae, goes by Taetha because even she recognises that her name is really awful.
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Class: Bard(Mage?)
Race: Elf (woods-dwelling)
Abilities: Without her violin she has none. It is not known whether it is a channel for her powers or simply a psychological thing. She comes from a family of medics, most with just a little magic, so she has been trained all her life in healing. However, she has very little natural ability in this area and can only heal very shallow wounds. Her talents lie in manipulation. She can be compared to the pied piper, in a way, as she can make people do her bidding. She can only control very weak willed people fully, average people will only feel a strong inclination and the strong-willed can shrug it off easily. Her only other power can be quite disturbing. It is to open up all other wounds that the person it is aimed at has ever received. This is more effective on those that have survived a lot in their lives than on, say, sheltered children. She can't really control this one.
History: Born to a family of elven religious fanatics sworn to the powers of the light, she lived the first twelve years of her life in the forest of her clan. She has had an easy life, and a sheltered one. Her parents were very strict, but they adored her, their only child. They set rules and punishments for her from a very young age in an attempt to make her into a religious, well-adjusted, rule-abiding young lady, but this only resulted in her becoming a wonderful liar. Her religion held only four values above worship: honesty (no chance), kindness, lawfulness and chastity. The first one was never going to happen, but the other traits have mostly stuck. This is why she is so covered, anything less and she feels like she is wearing nothing at all and her family would not have approved. She lived entirely in the forest, venturing out to the edges a few times in search of trinkets and curiosities that the other races had left. Her powers, apart from the weak healing, began to manifest at the age of eleven. Her parents were a little frightened by the manipulation, though they kept quiet about them. The other did not go down so well. Taetha doesn't really remember what happened: only the awful, awful shades of red and black. Nothing else. Her parents consulted the elders about this, and were informed that she was possessed by demons and had to be destroyed. They couldn't hurt her, they wouldn't hurt her, but they were afraid of her, so they sent her away; out of the forest, out of their lives. This was where she found access.
Her mark of Kira is just below her collar bone. It is shaped like an alto clef.
General information: Very cheery. She loves to sing, dance and play musical instruments. She is very motherly, she tends to treat even those younger than her as her children. This can annoy people! She can scold and nag, but she is generally a very nice person. She has never intentionally hurt anyone, and she radiates a sort of innocence and naivety. Very in touch with nature. Gets curious really easily. Doesn't believe in permanence, and although she tries, she often can't really understand other's problems. In her mind, everything can be fixed. She believes that she can sort everything out for everyone. Like I said, she's naive. Lies very well. Hurts people without knowing it sometimes; doesn't understand tact. Smells of baking bread, not because she bakes, but because she makes a conscious effort to do so. If anyone is baking, you can guarantee she will be there, absorbing the smells.
The items are all 'curiosities' she found at the edge of the woods. One is a sort of mini honey-fur, with an odd glass circle over it's eye. It is very oddly dressed, she can't understand why anyone would want to wear that! It's name is Steve. She realises that this is a strange thing to call anything, but she likes the sound of it. It has an odd effect on the children, they all seem to adore it! Another appears to be hair, but not attached to a person! She found this very strange, and showed it to the elder, who then informed her that the other races took them from the people the had killed to strike fear into future enemies. She found this fascinating and decided to keep it; she only wonders how they got the scalp off. The twisty is the weirdest because it has no purpose at all! She cannot fathom why anyone would make it.
Data: Bally Dawnox, the least lovable creature in the world. It is slimy, the colours are horrible and it's many tails have paralysing stingers on the end. Despite all of this, Taetha adores him.

I don't know how to draw violins, I don't know how to draw foxes, I don't know how to draw people: I don't know how to draw! But I will learn!
So that's basically her! If she seems Sue-ish at all, please let me know and I'll try to fix it. Drawn with SAI and my laptop mouse, as always.
