✔ Portals: Can create a portal/multiple portals in battle, to travel, to hide, or just to mess with people.
Using the portals to travel takes a lot of energy, as they cover longer distances. It can also be dangerous if she tries traveling farther than her eyes can see because it's impossible to know where you'll step out to (whether that be open air, enemy territory, or safely in your bedroom).
Using portals to hide is rather simple, as she simply has to open one portal, step into it, and close it. After that, she just has to wait in an empty dimensional space. It uses very little energy.
In battle, the portals are far more useful and deadly than you'd think. For instance, if someone is attacking her with, say, a sword, she can open an entrance portal in front of her and an exit portal in front of her attacker. Technically, the sword's blade would disappear in the portal, and rather than stabbing her, her attacker would stab him/herself instead. In battle, she can also use the portals themselves as weapons. What do you think would happen if half of your arm was still inside a portal when it closed? It would be bye-bye arm, so yeah. Also, in battle, she can use them to dodge or seemingly "teleport" which can be used simply for the said reason, to confuse her opponent(s), or as a tactic or strategy. Using the portals in battle takes more energy than hiding but less energy than travel. It also takes skill, practice, and composure to use portals effectively and safely in battle.
Now, messing with people is simply that and she just does it for fun (obviously). Some examples would be appearing out of nowhere, transporting someone to a random place/to where they just came from, tapping them on the shoulder only for them to find no one behind them when they check, spying, etc. etc. etc. etc.

✔ Her holder item is an obsidian puzzle cube. She continuously turns it in her hands pressing and twisting it to access her ability and to place the portals. It's difficult, if not impossible, for others to understand and comprehend. It's puzzling, really.
✔Non-magical throwing knives
| Likes |
♥ Heights: They've always made her feel both free and safe at the same time. It might have something to do with giving her a much wider view, meaning her traveling would have more range and accuracy.
♥ Cats (big and small): She's always loved animals, but cats hold a special place in her heart. There's no real reason. She just adores them.
♥ Sweets: She'll almost always have a piece of candy in her mouth. It helps her concentrate. Plus, she simply has a huge sweet tooth. Tooth aches are common, though she's never had a cavity (yet).
♥ Violence: She finds it both exciting and amusing... Sometimes to a disturbing point. Half of it has to do with her past, and as for the other half, it's just how she's wired. However, she doesn't like when her friends or those she cares about are in pain, and her response towards the cause is, well, pretty violent (whether she's making a threat or carrying one out).
♥ Pranks and such: She loves to test people and see their reactions to different things. She also enjoys sarcasm and dark humor, as well as other types.
♥ Puzzles and such: She loves to connect the dots and figure things out (including people). It's exciting to look at different possibilities and eventually see which one fits where in which situation.
| Dislikes |
✖ Zeal:Her older brother and a higher up in one of the dark guilds.
✖ Being underground: She doesn't like being in a confined area where her vision is greatly restricted, meaning her traveling is greatly restricted. She can hide, but traveling becomes risky. She's also a bit claustrophobic.
✖ Bitter things: She can't stand bitter anything. If she eats a bitter something, she has to eat, like, a whole cake or bag of candy to make the taste go away... Which isn't really that bad, actually.
✖ Seriousness:Life itself is nothing but a joke to her, so why take it seriously? At least that's what she wants to believe. She hates being serious or being around serious people because it forces her to look at realities she'd rather ignore or forget.
✖ The cold: She's naturally cold all the time (ya know, like those people who always have a cold nose, feet, and hands?). Because of this, she hates cold weather.
✖Sleeping: Nightmares and memories fill her dreams, so she tries to avoid sleeping, though it's unavoidable.
| Physical Description |
And in this corner, standing at an even 5 feet 4 inches and weighing in at 121 pounds, we have Miya Winters! With fair and snowy skin, she visually lives up to the name “Winters”. Complementing her snowy complexion are bright, crystal-like blue eyes and purplish locks. Her guild symbol is a blue that matches her eyes and rests along her left collar bone. Other than that, she doesn’t really have any other markings. And now what we’ve all been waiting for (not really), her measurements are (in centimeters) 83-56-85 (the same as her face claim... yes, I actually looked this information up because I was too lazy to think on my own *sigh* oh well). Her build would be feminine but athletic.
| Personality |
Miya doesn’t really take life that seriously and comes off as light hearted when you first meet her. She loves getting reactions from people, probably because it helps her to solve the puzzle of the person in question. Plus, it's simply entertaining and she doesn't have anything better to do. She also doesn't care much about personal space, so she'll often hug, hand on, or cling to people randomly. Especially if they're the type to be annoyed or embarrassed by it, and the more obvious the reaction the more likely she'll be to do the same thing again. Since she isn't very serious about life, she can be very sarcastic and enjoys joking with and messing with people. Sometimes, it can be very difficult to tell if she's being serious or sarcastic with what she says, which can be discomforting. After all, what she says can be very dark, violent, and/or twisted as a result of her childhood and time spent in a dark guild. But she always says it with a smile. She's very optimistic, though her "optimism" could be the result of her "eh" attitude towards life. She takes it to the extreme as well, saying things like "Well, at least he only lost one arm rather than two," and such. She's not very sensitive to sensitive situations, either, though that's more because she chooses to ignore the so-called seriousness of them.
One thing she enjoys, is a puzzle. Life is a game. Life is a puzzle. So she's always very observant of her surroundings and people. She also has a very curious nature, so when she finds something or someone to be interesting, she puts a lot of her energy into trying to figure them out and puzzling the pieces together of who they are or how they work. When a piece clicks into place, it gives her genuine excitement and feelings of accomplishment.
With her off-handed personality, it might be surprising that Miya is actually very protective of those she cares about (ie. hurt them, you pay). She can also be childishly jealous if she becomes really attached to someone. Now, what may or may not be surprising is that she is extremely apathetic towards those she doesn't care about (ie she'll leave you to die without a second thought).
Also, if she ever is forced to be serious, her personality shifts slightly. Outwardly, when she first clicks into serious mode, she wears a frown and her eyes turn either dead-looking or emotionless. When she's in serious mode, that should be a danger sign. She becomes irritable and easily annoyed, and her responses become cold and sometimes cruel. Her "threats" are no longer sarcasm or jokes, and you don't want to test her. She becomes completely uncaring towards others and seems to enjoy causing pain. So she pretty much reverts back to her "self" when she was in the dark guild.
She doesn't know how to balance her two personalities, and she doesn't want to have to face the past.

Dream - Imagine Dragons
| History |
Miya was born into a family of wizards. Both of her parents were respected, though they were nowhere near famous, and her older brother (Zeal) and her were learning magic from them. Her brother and she were always very close. He would take care of her, teach her, and they would play fun at each other. She seemed to depend on him quite a lot, and half of that might have been because their parents were pretty busy with their work. Really she lived a relatively happy and carefree childhood. That is, until after she turned nine. Her older brother whom she'd always been close with started to disappear frequently and would spend lots of time away from the house and away from her. Whenever he was around her, though, he would act just as fond of her as before, but there was something different about him that Miya couldn't figure out. It was unsettling, so she tried to puzzle it together herself. She'd watch him carefully, and her mind would go over the possibilities, though none she came up with made sense. Confused and with a growing curiosity, Miya went to her parents to relay her thoughts. She told them how she thought he seemed off, and how it was starting to bother her. Surprised, her parents exchanged glances before assuring her that they were sure it was nothing to worry about. She begrudgingly accepted their answer, but unbeknownst to her, they took what she said to heart and started paying attention to their son and his actions.
Their attention towards him turned into a personal investigation for them, as they started to uncover some things that were less than pleasant. As they investigated their son, they found out he had secretly joined one of the most notorious dark guilds of the day. It was a crushing revelation. Rather than turning him in right off the bat, because he was their son, they confronted him about it. There was an explosive argument. Miya didn't know what it had been about at the time. All she knew was that the next day, her brother disappeared, and he wouldn't reappear until three years later.
Three years after he disappeared from her life, Zeal showed up a week after Miya's twelfth birthday. She was excited to see him, and had so many questions. Where had he gone? What was he doing? Why did he leave? And other questions, but at the same time, it was far more obvious to her that something was off about him. He'd changed somehow, and for some reason, it scared her. He made her promise to keep his visit a secret from everyone, so she did.
That night, Miya had a horrible nightmare, but it was okay because she killed the demons with her powers. At least that's what her brother's illusions led her to believe. When the illusion faded, though, Miya found that she hadn't been dreaming at all. And the demons she'd slayed? They were her parents. Her brother's illusions had caused her to kill her parents, whom he had restrained and tortured beforehand (mentally with his illusions). She didn't understand what had happened at first until her brother, laughing, came out of the shadows and ruffled her hair, "Good job, Miya. You really are my precious little sister."
Realizing what she'd done was too much for her to handle, so everything went numb at first, and it was like she was living in a dream. With nowhere else to go she went with her brother who had actually come back home to bring her back to his guild. For the first few months, she was numb and didn't care about anything. They mainly used her as a spy with her hiding ability, though she did accompany her brother on certain missions and assassinations. Once Zeal started to move up in the guild ranks (leaving her alone more often than not), the numbness she felt started to fade, and reality hit her. This is when her new personality started to form (what she now calls her "serious mode").
Others in the guild who were used to her being a numb and expressionless existence who was always quiet and didn't care about anything were quite surprised to see the changes. After her personality formed, people started paying attention to her, and she eventually became part of a group that had two S-class wizards and three A-class wizards(including herself). As part of this group, she started to learn how to use her powers in a more destructive way, much like how she'd used it to kill her parents. This time, though, she was learning to control it, and willfully used it to harm and kill for the guild.
With her new personality also came a hatred for her brother. She challenged him a few times, but always lost. The only reason he didn't kill her when they fought was because she was his sister.
Then came her second awakening. She was on a mission to get close to a certain person, gain intelligence from them, and then kill them. This person happened to be a girl maybe a year younger than her (she was 15 at the time) who was the daughter of a regular wizard guild's master. What happened wasn't what she expected. After meeting the girl and infiltrating her guild, they became "friends" or at least Miya played friends with her. At first, that is. Miya did get close to the girl, but the girl got close to her as well, awakening emotions she hadn't experienced since she was a little girl. After a while she stopped playing friends, and they became real friends. This is where her second personality formed. Miya got attached, and she found herself wanting to stay rather than returning to the dark guild. When someone from her guild would check up on her, she would give an excuse as to why the girl wasn't dead yet. At some point, the guild, her brother mainly became suspicious of her and sent a different spy.
The team the dark guild sent to retrieve her was her own team. She didn't expect them to appear, but when they did, they killed the guild master's daughter in front of her. They killed the person she become attached to... She snapped, lashing out at them with her power. She ended up killing both A-class wizards, taking the arm of one of the S-class wizards, and transporting the other to a random location. When members of her dead friend's guild appeared, Miya fled, as did the wounded S-class. From then on she spend her time running and hiding from the dark guild, and avoiding her dead friend's guild.
She hid and ran for about one year and seven months before finding Fairy Tale. At the moment, the guild master is the only one who knows the real story of where she came from. She's been at Fairy Tale for about three months, now. She hasn't gone on many missions since joining, since she isn't really part of a group yet, but has been training to better control her powers.
|Anything Else|
She will eventually learn how to create her own little dimensional spaces, which would come in handy for storing supplies and such. After that, she would learn how to manipulate that space like she would a dream, and/or (maybe) how to travel to other existing dimensions.
((I can't think of anything else at the moment, but if I do will add it))
