Iris Baron
Appearance
Iris stands at about 5’8, somewhat taller than her younger sister, Gerdy. Her hair, that is of a slight white’ish silver shade, flows freely over her shoulders and reaches down to her waist. Her body is slim in build and comes across as fragile and delicate, which she is, a little. Her eyes are large and wide, being of a light shade of pinkish brown, which suggests an added childlike innocence about herself.
(This is what Iris would originally have looked like before becoming a Type B Ghost.)

Abilities
Telekinesis - Enables Iris to move solid objects with her mind. (Mastered)
Possession - A power that allows Iris to inhabit a “host”. (Mastered)
Levitation - An ability that allows Iris to hover, and potentially fly, in the air for periods of time. (Great)
Dematerialization - A skill that enables Iris to travel through walls, floors and things in general. (Good)
Stealth - Iris is able to move around without being detected. (Weak)
Weaknesses
Due to having to use her "Possession" on a day-to-day basis, for long periods of time, Iris can easily become tired and suffers from exhaustion when having to use her abilities at an overwhelming rate. This also affects her when wanting to use any of her other abilities as these require a lot of mental-strength to perform each one individually, and therefore she may be unable to use them at times. When overworked Iris also suffers migraines and can become dizzy.
Signature Ability
The Shadows Rage - Normally, Iris can only control a few objects at any given time with her telekinesis, however, with this ability she is able to completely control anything and everything within a limited radius of herself. This talent is used primarily as a method of defense against others and is only able to work on inanimate objects, therefore humans and other beings are unaffected. (Exceptional)
Personality
Iris is a very loving, caring and gentle individual. She likes to think that everyone is like herself, in the sense that almost all people are good-willed and happy to help, and hates to believe that anyone would intentionally cause harm to others for no good reason. However, with that aside, she is not a naive girl and does know that not everyone is going to want to be your friend, and that every stranger could pose as a threat if misguided enough - but regardless of how cruel the world can be Iris strives to keep her spirits alive and not let anyone bring her down!
Despite maintaining an upbeat attitude towards life it can become easily apparent how emotionally overwhelmed Iris can get, especially over the tiniest remark whether it be good or bad, as she is much more sensitive than she lets on - and will often run away from her feelings whenever given half the chance, if only just to avoid having to explain herself to others. Whenever matters of the heart arise Iris can seem immature with her methods of avoidance, but really, she just struggles to contemplate the whole idea of love and romance with another person. Could she really be loved by another?
Though seemingly sweet enough, if angered or placed in an uncomfortable situation, Iris is surprisingly capable of expressing such feelings without much hesitation. She is not afraid to let others know of her displeasure, and manages to do it in a polite and grown-up manner and not bring any unwanted attention onto herself whilst doing so - as Iris is much more responsible than she looks.

Strengths
Iris is a very welcoming and friendly person, and will do whatever is asked of her to the best of her ability. She is a hard worker and very devoted student.
Weaknesses
Iris can be a little too sensitive for her own good and often takes everything to heart. She can also become incredibly shy whenever feeling uneasy or awkward in some situations.
Biography
Thinking back, and from what Iris can remember, it is believed that she grew up in a normal sort of family along with her younger sister, Gerdy. Their mother, who was your typical stay at home parent, was the one that had looked after the girls whilst their father gone off to work everyday.
Besides their parents and the few memories of them that she has, the only other thing that still reminds vivid in her mind is her own death, which still feels like it only happened yesterday - whereas in fact Iris had died at least two years ago prior to receiving an invite to attend the Academy.
Not many know how Iris died, mainly as it’s not something to bring up in mere conversation. But, to tell the truth, her death was the unfortunate result of being hit in the back of the head by a brick that was thrown by a friend, accidentally, whilst trying to free a hat that had gotten caught up high in a tree which Iris was sitting beneath. She doesn’t remember the exact moment that she truly died, but what she does remember was the moment when she had woken up still beneath the same exact tree, except this time no one seemed to notice her…
Some point after this event, Iris managed to reunite and make contact with her younger sister, Gerdy, who actually volunteered to become the “host” that Iris would need in order to make herself noticed in the world. The pair made a pact to never leave one another, not even in death, and decided that perhaps it was better to forget their past lives and strive forward in hopes of a better life altogether, together. Whatever happened to their parents is unknown, though the sisters will always think of their parents despite knowing they’ll likely never see them again whilst attending the Academy.

Name
Gerdy Townsend
Appearance
Gerdy stands at roughly 5’6, just slightly shorter than her older sister, Iris. Her hair, that appears to be of a snowy white shade, hangs wildly down the sides of her face and just touches the tips of her shoulders. Her body is slim, though short, and is very fragile whenever handled too roughly. Her eyes are wide, seemingly of a darkly light blue shade of colour, that adds a sense of coldness to herself.
(For the majority of the time Iris will control Gerdy and use her body, name and appearance as her own. The sister‘s “Ghost & Host” arrangement is kept secret between them, for now. )
Age
16
Gender
Female
Orientation
Asexual
Grade
High school Junior
Type / Race
Type A Zombie “Host”
Weapon
None
Abilities
Relentless Assault - Gerdy is able to take on any form of assault without dieing of injury. (Mastered)
Cure - Enables Gerdy to self-heal herself whenever injured. (Good)
Flexibility - A skill that enables Gerdy to be surprisingly flexible and light in her movements.(Weak)
Weaknesses
The biggest weakness to Gerdy is sunlight - by staying too long in the light her entire body will slowly begin to burn and inflict unbearable pain upon her. Fact, even being in the light at all will cause this to happen and therefore complete avoidance of all forms of light is advised. However, to temporarily combat this downfall she is often seen either wearing a hoodie that covers herself - especially her face - or will carry an umbrella in case of any unforeseen scenarios of sunlight.
Another weakness of hers is stiff joints, meaning sometimes her movement is limited for short periods of time and Gerdy may need to be carried, sometimes! This is the reason her “Flexibility” is considered weak.
Signature Ability
The Hells Guardian - Due to her inability to die, combined with her ability to self-heal, Gerdy is able to take on waves of multiple attacks from one or more attackers without ever taking on any real damage herself with this special ability. However, this is merely a defensive attack and does not inflict any damage either - it only protects Gerdy and whoever she is defending, if anyone. (Exceptional)
Personality
Gerdy is an occasionally sarcastic, laidback and nice enough person. She often believes that the world is a cruel place and will often retain a pessimistic view of the land in order to just get by in life and the obstacles that it throws at her. In all matters of truth, though, she just wishes for a simple, peaceful way of living and would be grateful for a bit of the easy life every now and then - not that she’d openly admit it to anyone, well, except her older sister, Iris, who she can genuinely be open with, without hesitation.
Though small and easily unnoticeable, Gerdy is not afraid to put someone straight, specially those who she deems annoying - and more importantly, those who are annoying her at the time! She’s not short of bravery, and usually has plenty of confidence going spare somewhere whenever she is in dire need of it. Such moments usually consist of her older sister and anyone upsetting her! Granted, it doesn’t take much to dampen her big sis, but everything put aside and Gerdy will defend her sibling for whatever reason be it big or small, intelligent or just plain stupid. Gerdy is at the rescue!
Surprisingly, despite her ever so slight temper, Gerdy can be very levelheaded and doesn’t often loose her rag - not over small matters at least, but whenever her emotions are thrown into the mix things get heated up quickly! And that’s not including any incidents with her sister, either. Whenever feelings get put into the picture Gerdy tends to loose herself and gets caught up in the moment.

Strengths
Gerdy is a genuinely nice person and would try her best to help someone who was in trouble.
Weaknesses
At times Gerdy has poor concentration skills and could potentially lose focus in what’s she’s doing regardless of it’s importance. She’s also known to sleep a lot, especial when bored enough.
Biography
Recalling back, and from what Gerdy remembers clearly, it is thought that she grew up in a typically normal kind of family along with her older sister, Iris. Their mother, who was your nice enough stay at home parent, was the one that had looked after the girls whilst their father gone off to work everyday.
Besides their parents and the handful of memories that she has of them, the only other thing that Gerdy can still remember clearly is her own death, which happened just only a year prior to receiving an invite to attend the Academy.
Like her sister, not many know how Gerdy died purely due to the improperness of the topic. But, just so you know, her death was completely accidental but unfortunately unavoidable. She unknowingly drank what is believed to have been some type of washing up liquid, which gradually destroyed her insides and ultimately poisoned her till her death moments after. Although, she does not remember how exactly she came to be “living” again, though assumes that it is likely a necromancer who had done it for some reasons or another. Whether she’ll meet that person again is unknown.
Sometime after, Gerdy reunited with her older sister, Iris, before willingly becoming her “host” when discovering what her sister had become. The sisters promised from that moment onwards to never separated again, to forget their past lives, and seek a happier life together in future and during their time in the Academy. The girls never really found out what happened to their parents but assume that their lives are happy ones, somehow, and wish them the best in life.
