Age: Well into the thousands, but whose keeping count? Women shouldn't have to give their age...
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Whomever strikes her fancy
Role: Demon
Appearance: Her eyes are covered in thick leather folds across her face, her skin is of a darker hue, not quiet black but rather, almost an ash color. Across her neck is a thick necklace of solid leather, and her white hair is tied up tightly in a bun. A long golden stick goes through the bun at the back of her head, and hanging from each end are talismans of her power. Her pointed ears each have an earring hanging from them, the right one having earrings going all the way up to the tip.
She wears leather, black in color that forms to her body tightly. It is tattered, torn in many places and the skirt is opened in the front, coming down longer in the back behind her legs. Tall boots go just below her knees with a short heel to give her some height. She is not very tall to begin with. It is the best that she can do in appearances to appear human like. To those like the angels and the exorcists, this is how she will appear. To normal humans, though, she's weaved magic all around her presence so that what they see is normal to them. Meaning, no pointed ears and no coverings over her face.
Personality: Leiriya isn't one to speak very often to anyone. She prefers silence to sound, it helps her to concentrate better in many situations. When she does speak though, it is often short, answering a question, and very rarely to announce something important. Leiriya has a tendency to speak very strangely, her words sometimes not making sense and coming very close to being mysterious and riddle like. To her, though, it makes perfect sense, so it isn't that she does it on purpose, she just doesn't think it's odd. She won't tell anyone information that she believes they don't need to know. Nor will she tell them something important if she thinks that they should have already known it. In this way, Leiriya is very secretive.
She isn't neccesarily protective of anyone or anything, but she is very dutiful. If she's told to protect something, she will do it with everything she's got. She dislikes failure at anything and especially dislikes surprises. For the most part, Leiriya is a very calm individual who is hard to cause any emotions to spring forth from. She knows the feel of anger, sadness and other raging emotions that many demons are known to feed off of. However, Leiriya has long since gained near perfect control over those emotions and will show nothing but calm and every now and then happiness via a very small smile.
Like most demons, Leiriya is very used to working alone and doesn't rely on others, nor does she expect others to rely on her. That doesn't mean that she doesn't know how to work in a group, it just means that to ask her for a favor may just mean that you'll be talking to a brick wall. She believes strongly that if you cannot do you own job yourself, than you shouldn't be doing it at all.
Abilities: Her abilities come from her talismans on her hair ornament and dancing. Though she weilds a weapon, she doesn't use it often. The weapon is a short staff that she conjures from her talismans because she's never seen walking around with the sacred weapon. When she's not casting, she'll fight with the staff.
Ritual Dance: There are a few uses for this. One use is to close gates to hell. Leiriya's dance invokes the ancient power of inferno and will seal a gate closed. The dance is very short and simple, involving mostly her arms moving and her upper body bending in certain directions to cast the spell. Her ritual dance is also used to bind wraiths and spirits and send them back to inferno. This type of dance takes much more time and concentration than to close a gate. She will need to be both undisturbed (undisturbed as in talked to, attacked or anything of the like that will stop her dance.) during that dance and have enough space to move her body to perform it. Obviously once she goes into either dances she cannot do anything else until the dance is finished, or she is interrupted in someway.
Forbearance: This is from her talismans. Leiriya's magic will cast a spell using a small variety of the talismans on her hair ornament. What this does is whomever she's targeting, will have a slight increase in endurance and self-control. This usually results in the person gaining a bit more strength than usual in whatever it is they use most. In worse case senarios, Leiriya can help the one she's targeting to have a high tolerance for pain, therefore giving them that extra boost to fight back. This spell, Leiriya uses the most aside from her dances.
Barrier: With another set of talismans activated, Leiriya can create a sheild around herself and others if she so wishes. With this, she can fend off most spirits and some wraiths depending on their strength. Most magic is also deflected off her sheild as well. However, this takes a lot of concentration and power on her end, so Leiriya cannot sustain a barrier for very long, nor can she cast it together with forbearance.
All three are described in their 'sealed' state. Being in the human form drastically cuts her power levels, even so she's still fairly strong. If she were to ever be unsealed, her magic would be very powerful, and her ritual dances would be the only thing that she would use. The ritual dance to bring spirits and wraths back to inferno in her unsealed stage, would not only bring the wraith or spirit back, but would also destroy the area around her with its force alone.
Bio: Leiriya knows only inferno, having no memories of anything else. She's always been the keeper of one of the pits. A guard, in a sense. Her main duty in inferno was to keep spirits from leaving their torment, and that was what her ritual dance was used for mainly, hence the reason for her unsealed version of binding wraiths and spirits and bringing them back to inferno. Aside from being known by many of the other demons as a simple guard of one of the pits, there is nothing much known of her past. Even questions such as why her eyes are covered have no answer for she does not even remember. Leiriya is fairly sure that no demon knows their deeper pasts very well. Only their immediate ones. To her, though, the past hardly matters.
