Appearance

Tea is a short girl standing at 5'3". Her most notable feature is her white hair, readily bouncing light wherever she goes to give her a mildly glowing look. The length of her hair can change very quickly depending on her moods and wishes, growing longer and heavier when weighed down by unwelcome thoughts and feelings, and staying short to reflect lightness and ease of heart.

Her eyes are mostly black, having only a faint shine to them, sparkling as though there are stars hidden within them. Her skin is a very light tan, her cheeks having a faint but visible blush a majority of the time. It is in her nature to be quite emotive, being generally easy to read unless she forces herself to pull on a poker face. Her bodily features are smooth all throughout, featuring little contours beyond that of her anatomy itself, her skin seamless besides the very faint traces of an intricate scar running all over her.

She wears a variety of clothes, her most notable trend being that of layering excessively. Her most common combination would be wearing a tank top with a loose, baggy long sleeve, often with a pastel coloration or various loud, localized prints. She alternates between wearing all kinds of leg wear depending on what she feels would match with her top, her most common choices being of various muted shades.

Powers

Medium: As a medium, Tea has a great affinity towards balance, instinctively seeking to maintain it wherever she goes. Her connection to the world at large is greatly enhanced, allowing her to communicate with it a receive a degree of responsiveness in turn. Baser, more malleable lifeforms are greatly responsive, and often plants seek to grow in her presence, while ancient forms, especially those that don't contain the spark of life may be more stubborn and respond with silence to her attempts at conversation.

Affinity - Order: Her affinity for balance allows her to wield order, restoring things to their most orderly state. Often this is used to rebuild things, countering the effects of natural decay such as rust and wear, or reversing damage done by sealing wounds and mending flesh. However, her ability to wield order is directly tied to her state, increasing her own state of chaos the more she uses it.

Affinity - Chaos: Her affinity for balance allows her to wield chaos, reducing things to their baser states through entropy. Often this is used to breakdown things, bringing such effects as rusting metal or crumbling stone. This is also used offensively, often by reopening old wounds or simply breaking down flesh. However, her ability to wield chaos is directly tied to her state, increasing her own state of order the more she uses it.

Inventory

• A small, trilliant cut gem, strung with a smooth, dark cord. This pendant hangs from her neck, used as a focus for her powers.
• A leatherbound book, filled with illustrations of various flora and fauna that she's observed. The back pages contains people she's met as well.
• A luggage filled entirely with clothes. How it was able to fit all those clothes is a mystery. Tea is highly advanced in the art of packing.
• A phone and a laptop. Nothing fancy, just exactly what she needs.
• A leather satchel containing everything else that didn't fit in her luggage for reasons.

Bio

Raised as an only child, Tea lived a fairly contented life which she always took at her own pace. Homeschooled by her parents in some strange, non-standard form of education had given her strange ideas on what counts for regular interaction, something she thankfully was able to tone down as she grew up. Her abilities manifested early as a young child, though at the time none really understood what she was capable of, only remarking that she was oddly good with animals, and always seemed to excel in biology projects.

As she grew older and shifted to standard education, she was initially remarked as weird by her peers, but in taking such a branding in stride, she was able to have a peaceful childhood without being bullied and rendered a social outcast for being an other. During this time, however, she already gained a fierce streak of independence, oftentimes wandering off whenever she could, exploring her abilities once she became aware of them, seeing a different layer of the world that was all but invisible to others.

Her wanderings had brought her farther and farther as the years passed, til at some point it took several months before she even managed to return to the place she called home. During these wanderings, she practiced often with her abilities, using it to perform magic tricks to earn her keep while on the road, often joining up with other entertainers to see where their path would take her, before parting ways where she felt her own begin to diverge.

During her travels, she happened upon a peculiar man with a cane, who offered to guide her and expand upon the things she already knew, if she would do him a favor. Eager to learn more about what hides in the world that shift in the corners of her gifted sight, she agreed. Thus, upon returning home and spending a few weeks with her parents, she then left once more to join him in his school.
