Happy Shadow Thoughts

1) Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.

Arcia Larmein is a Vanisher. She wants to be the best Vanisher in the Elvin world, and know everything there is to know about her ability. She likes fiddling with gadgets, and sometimes wishes she could manifest as a Technopath. Her dad is Arbey Larmein, a Hydrokinetic who is away a lot. Arcia loves her dad very much. Arcia's mom is Garcia Marki-Larmein, a Vanisher. Garcia has a more casual relationship with her daughter. Arcia is currently an only child, but Arcia's baby brother is on the way!

Arcia has had a fairly simple life. There has been no drama. She knows many people who consider her their friends, but she wants a closer bond, like she has seen for years. She wants a true best friend. She is a Level Two at Foxfire. She lives Glareruin. Once or twice every year, her family takes a 2-3 week long vacation to a fantastic place, and her classmates at Foxfire are very jealous of her for it. After she comes back, she is teased for sometimes up to a month. She longs for true love, but doesn't know if it is real.

2) What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.

Arcia is shy. That is one reason she doesn't have as many friends. She is reasonably smart, and a little bookish. She loves nature. Arcia doesn't have many hobbies. She likes spending time with the gnomes and watching them sing and work. Nobody knows much about her, but she is very passionate about the things she cares about. She is all set to spoil her baby brother, and she will love him very much. Arcia is very calm. She sings with the gnomes a lot. When her family takes their trips, she likes to meditate in the most peaceful place she can find, which is usually the seashore.

3) What does your character look like? Do you have a model in mind for them? (if you do, you only need to say who it is).

Arcia Larmein has sky blue eyes, with long blonde hair. her hair is wavy. A model might be Marella Redek, but with different hair. Arcia often wears blue.

4) Describe your character's skill set. What they are good at? What do they want to be good at? What are they not good at?

Meta Physics and History and Elementalism all fascinate Arcia. She is good at all of them. She also enjoys Alchemy, and is OK at it. In PE, she is particularly good at breath holding and appetite suppression. Arcia thoroughly enjoys dancing and Agriculture. She also likes the ocean. She dreads The Universe. Arcia is amazing at singing and dancing, but no one but the gnomes know it. Arcia fiddles with gadgets in her spare time, and though she will never be as good at it as a Technopath, she makes some useful things.
