Description

Manehkin is, well, a mannequin. As such, she is able to showcase various clothing designs. Her default outfit at a standard is a horizontally striped lavender and mauve bodysuit, and it is a very durable and flexible one. It is a second skin of sorts, and serves as undergarments too.

On top of this, her sleeveless battle dress she normally wears is one made of a protective enchanted alloy capable of warding some attacks back at their deliverer. The main portion of the dress is decorated in a black and titanium colored diamond pattern, with several large center-less diamond shapes composed of white stripes and mauve trim lines. Small hot pink "X"s are at connection points. The very lowest portion of the dress is unarmored, and is a hot pink color with a light frill pattern.

A large hot pink "X" accessory holds a small mantle and collar in place around her neck and shoulders, and is accented with more small hot pink "X"s at connecting points. Her gloves are a hot pink as well, and sport small black "X"s just below the wrist as a design. Lastly, around her neck, several strings hang and wrap around, with various more hot pink and black "X"s, all small in size, hanging. Her shoes are black flats, and each have a hot pink "X" on them.

Her face is mostly normal, if relatively unmoving and slightly more pale, but her eyes, also hot pink, give rise to a secret of some sort. Even her skin seems "off". Her pink hair is kept short in a partial bob, with one braid worked through it across her hair that hangs to the left side past her shoulder, tucked just behind her ear. She wears glasses, but shouldn't be taken too lightly.

She apparently stands 5'8", and is of unknown weight. She doesn't give out any specifics regarding anything else.

Personality

Upper-class to a defined standard, she speaks properly and disdains this "slang speech" used nowadays. She also dislikes poor public behavior, whether overly excessive PDA, or acting rather drunkenly without regards to safety of oneself and others. She is also entirely reserved in opinions unless she deems it needed to get her point across. Appears to have been a straight "A" student in her studies, back in her past, and developed her observation and wit after acquiring glasses.

Equipment

Weapon: Ella Umbra's Warding Grace
An Umbrella, black with a frill trim, seems relatively ordinary, but is a decent artifact that Manehkin keeps. It has a rather unique enchantment that allows it to, when opened, block one incoming attack, regardless of said attack's source, type, or power. This power cannot be used repeatedly, but must recharge. The Umbrella also doubles as a nearly unbreakable weapon that Manehkin whacks her targets with, and a channeling conduit for some of her spells.

Specialization: Arrowfoe
Manehkin's inherent magic that keeps her alive also imbues her armored dress, enchanting it with the ability to resist non-magical ranged attacks. Resisted projectiles bounce off her dress harmlessly. This effect does not prevent certain non-magical projectiles launched with immense force, or energy based non-magical projectiles.

Signature Spells - Only Manehkin Knows These
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Spell: Crash Test
Manehkin's first signature spell has the center-less diamonds on her battle dress become filled with yellow and black bulls-eye targets before immediately charging with lightning speed at a target, ignoring collision with other units. Once there, she engages them in melee combat, with the goal of attracting her target's attention and attacks that would otherwise be aimed at allies. The bulls-eye targets disappear once either she or her target disengage the combat, allowing her to cast this spell again.

Spell: Materials
Manehkin's second signature spell manipulates magic to create a second skin on an ally made of durable material not unlike herself and her dress, reducing the effect of attacks against that ally by opposing forces either until either the skin is fully destroyed, or a duration of time has passed. She can cast this on herself as well.

Spell: Cabbage Patch
Manehkin's third signature spell.

Cast on Enemy: Manehkin's magic surrounds her foe in faux-cabbage leaves to sap their strength for a short period of time.

Cast on Ally: Manehkin's magic surrounds an ally or herself in faux-cabbage leaves to empower them over a short period of time.

Spell: 'Barb'ie
Manehkin's fourth signature spell grows long magical barbs out of her skin, bodysuit, and armored dress for a sudden and short moment, stabbing people close enough to her.

Spell: Voodoo
Manehkin's fifth signature spell harms herself by taking some of the magic that sustains her and placing a curse on a foe she chooses. Cursed targets slowly wither away until healed or a lengthy duration of time passes.

Spell: Dolled Up
Manehkin's sixth signature spell transforms herself into a small, magenta, bunny doll with hot pink ear tips that looks like a child's toy. A black "X" adorns her belly, and buttons with the same "X" pattern within them, one green, one yellow, signify something beyond understanding. Her mouth also becomes but a jagged squiggly line. As a doll, she becomes immobile. She can no longer move, but she is impervious to everything (she is not immune to pain and other such things, she just can't physically die). She is however able to be carried around, by friend or foe. She needs time to recharge before she can change back. While a Doll, her carrier gains access to Arrowfoe's effect.

History

There was once a poor tailor shop owner who decided to build his stand near The Descent Into Madness. His detractors and friends called him crazy, but he assured them it was for the best. His goal was to create clothing and armor that was enchanted with magical energy. The latent energy leeching from the Descent was all he needed for this.

It did turn out however that over time, his Mannequins would mysteriously vanish. He spent lots of funds on replacing them, only for them to vanish more. Frustrated at this, he yelled out a curse on the location he was near, and the Descent responded to his call. He was suddenly struck down by a powerful magical force. As he parted, he managed to touch his last Mannequin, one who had his best outfit tailored on it.

The magic drew the life out of the man, as it rushed into the Mannequin, and then it was done. Manehkin looked around steadily and noticed the deceased man. She did what was needed to take pity on him, but soon left him to figure out why she was spawned here, and what could come of it. She now wanders aimlessly, and offers her services as a Mercenary, using the magic that created her to provide a solid defense to anyone needing it.
