Name: Annoura Serenaea
Age: 29
Race: Human (supposedly)
Significant Relations: Academia Celestia staff and students.
Height: 6’ 1”
Weight: 132 lbs
Physical Description: Annoura’s features are seldom displayed, either disguised by her cloak hood, or directed downwards towards a book. Despite this, she is a fine featured woman, though it is inexplicably hard to call her attractive or beautiful. Her face possesses an ageless quality, one moment she appears no older than twenty, the next she has the wizened look of a forty year old. Her eyes, silver-blue in colour, seem unnaturally perceptive, and those who are the focus of them could swear that they were looking straight through them, and into the most secret parts of their minds. Her skin is pale, but not excessively so, and her lips are an oddly blue tone that seems too natural to be lipstick. She is almost always clad in a hooded robe, with an intricate embroidery pattern upon its edge.
Personality: Serene, calm and elegant, Annoura’s patience seems infinite when it comes to dealing with anyone from violent thugs to whining students. With wit as sharp as a blade, Annoura still manages to make any cutting remarks seem made in the most calm and not at all vehement fashion, though that often has the effect of making her seem excessively patronising.
Skills and Talents:
- Perceptive, it is incredibly hard to lie to Annoura without her figuring it out.
- Coolheaded, Annoura almost never loses her graceful calmness.
- Possessing reflexes that are almost supernatural, Annoura seems to be able to sidestep and duck most attacks as if they were in slow-motion. She has caught an arrow out of the air more than once, though dodging bullets is very much out of her reach despite this.
Abilities:
- Arcane Magic: In taking up the mantle of a mage, Annoura has, by necessity developed the necessary skills to do so. A magical librarian without any detectable magical talent would be more noteworthy than she would wish, after all.
- Divine Magic: For obvious reasons best known to her, Annoura has command over divine spells despite no obvious religious affiliation.
- Power: Annoura possesses an inherent power that is not magical (by technicality) in nature. This power includes such acts as projecting highly powerful blasts of energy, shimmering shields, telekinesis, telepathy, divination, scrying, true sight, phasing and what can be described as situational manipulation of reality (highly situational, I believe that all those involved with this character will be willing to trust me on this one).
- Skimming: Similar in nature to teleportation, this ability involves the slowing of relative time to a near standstill, enabling Annoura and any whom she extends this ability to freedom of movement. While in this state, neither she nor those with her can affect in any way beings who remain in the normal flow of events, and any inanimate objects that are interacted with must either remain on Annoura’s person or be restored to their initial state before she exits the state. I.e., if she picks up a book, she must keep hold of it or return it to its original position; if she opens a door she must close it again.
Equipment:
- Naevyr: A raven with feathers the same midnight blue colour of Annoura’s hair, Naevyr is an odd example of a raven in that he never sheds feathers unless it is deliberate, is remarkably tame, and refrains from leaving droppings everywhere, or indeed, anywhere at all. This is because he isn’t, strictly speaking, a raven. A projection from a small midnight stone that Annoura carries, Naevyr is ‘part’ of her, though she cannot see through his eyes. With divination powers of his own, Naevyr can see through any lie, and sense intent, malicious or nay.
