Description

Name: Nola Bodyhealer
Role: Visitor
Age: Twenty-five. Though this seems young on Earth, she is well into middle age in her own realm, where her species rarely live past fifty years.
Appearance:
Native- The people of Nola’s realm are roughly ¾ the size of humans. The top of her head reaches to an average woman’s shoulder. Her people have slick-looking, blue-purple skin that has the feel of seal skin. It is quite dry, but has an almost wet appearance. Her hair is a dark, purple-stained maroon shade, and it hangs in a blunt cut to her chin. Her eyes are wide and almond shaped, dark, and pupil-less. Nola’s fingers and toes are twice as long as a human’s, and they look thin, knobby, and pointed. These long, adept digits are apt for intricate tasks, as well as for working with advanced technology. Her fingernails are naturally dark, almost black, and they are extremely hard and slightly pointed. Nola wears the normal uniform of a healer in her world, which is a form fitting, dark body suit that goes from wrists to ankles, and a loose, ankle length white garment that is similar to a poncho and bears a red, runic design that marks her as a trained medical doctor.

Human- It takes great energy for Nola to maintain a glamour over herself, since her appearance is so far from that of a human’s, and since her people are not strong magic users. She can maintain a glamour for a few hours, but after that her energy drains, she becomes weak, and the spell begins to fade.
As a human Nola is petite, with chin length black hair, pale olive skin, and round, wire-rimmed glasses that cover slightly upturned brown eyes. As with her native appearance, she has small features, a round face with a small, pointed chin, and dark, straight eyebrows that look peculiarly high above her glasses, giving her a slightly surprised expression all the time. When under enchantment to look human, Nola usually conjures the image of a nondescript, middle-class dress in a dark fabric, with a neckline that goes up to her chin in a high, ruffled collar and wrist length sleeves.

Personality: Nola is serious, diligent, and soft-spoken. She focuses on the job at hand with admirable drive and determination. She is not a fan of wasting time, nor time wasters. As a being with such a short life span, every moment is very precious to her. She rarely laughs at jokes, and almost never makes them. Though she doesn’t laugh, she does often smile softly, if only to be polite and to fit into human society. She is gentle and kind-natured, with a strong aversion to violence. Though she is small and quiet, she has great inner bravery, and believes in defending those who cannot defend themselves. She is above all a pacifist though, and is loath to resort to physical violence. She much prefers solving things diplomatically and finding a solution that pleases everyone, if possible.

Powers and Abilities: The people of Nola’s world are not strong magic users. They rely mostly on the technology that they produce so well with their long, adept fingers. Magic, as technology rapidly increases on her home world, has become a dying craft that few practice. Nola herself isn’t very good at it. She was trained to be a doctor, and her skill set lies in healing with medicines and technology. However, her world has been locked in a racial war for the past hundred years, and as her people, split in half by a racial difference that has no genetic relevance, wage war on each other, her people die rapidly. People have stopped producing medicines as much as before, instead converting medical labs into stations to build bombs and weapons. When the medicine began to run out, Nola turned to the craft of magic for the first time in her life and found an elder to teach her. Unfortunately, the elder died before she could teach Nola much more than how to make contact with a Summoner on Earth and glamour herself to look human. Her magical prowess is weak and unpracticed. She possesses a book of magic, from which she can practice rudimentary spells with time to practice. She is also able to make a limited variety of potions with her use of medical herbs combined with her newfound magical ability.

Contract Status: Completed a contract with her Summoner about a year ago and is now living on Earth freely, trying to learn as much about human medicines as possible to bring that knowledge back to her people.

Profession: Doctor

Other Info: Nola has heard about a Summoner in Ursum with rare healing powers. She wants to find this human so she can try to learn her magic, or, if possible, take her back to her native realm to help her people. She doesn’t know the girl’s name though, nor much about her, and has been following many leads for the past few months, most of which led to dead ends. Recently she has heard a rumor about a young girl of nobility who may have a healing ability. Nola is on the path to finding this girl to see if it’s the one who could help her.
