ABILITIES
✔ On Aurum. ✘ On Earth.
✔ Even though she struggled even at her homeplanet to get the necessary control, Phia managed to finally to do so... right before leaving Aurum.
✘ At her new, hopefully temporary home, she has lost the confidence to use that ability overall, and thus tries to use it as little as possible.
Aquatic Respiration: the ability to breathe underwater.
✔ It was as if breathing air for her, and she often enjoyed being underwater more than on land.
✘ This power is still present, and although now there is limit to how long she can go under, she tries to enjoy it secretly and alone as much as possible.
Hydroportation: teleport across short or long distances through liquid water.
✔ Just like breathing underwater was natural to her, this was also something she was rather skilled in.
✘ That ability seems to be shut off on Earth nearly completely, and she can only teleport very short distances when she is on her full energy.
Water Mimicry: Phia can turn into liquid water or turn a part of herself into water.
✔ Although she struggled to get this ability right, when she was younger, she managed to get along with this power well enough later in life, while still on Aurum.
✘ This rarely happens on Earth, and when it does, it must be due to her being super sad or depressed or stressed.
Water Generation: the ability to generate water.
✔ One of the most general and typical powers of her district.
✘ This is a power she has the strongest on Earth, but even then Phia has decided not to use it much.
Water Healing: can heal others or herself by using or generating water.
✔ This is ability that she hid even while being still at home, thus she isn't too skilled in this.
✘ Small amount only. It is necessary that her health and energy levels are good.
Weaknesses | Limits:
✘ Going without water too long, she will fall sick.
✘ Sensitive to heat.
✘ Getting serious injury can make her turn into water.
✘ When Phia gets angry, she can easily have outbursts of her powers, specially if there is any kind of water nearby.
APPEARANCE
Hair Color Before: Her natural haircolor is red with pinkish undertone. She sometimes has it on Earth too, but prefers to hide it due to being found out by humans or found by fellow citizens of Aurum. She feels like it can cause too much spotlight.
Hair Color Now: Prefers dark brown or black.
Hair Length: Usually long and wavy, but sometimes wears different wigs in different color and length.
Eyes: Naturally dark brown, but when Phia uses her powers, they sometimes turn into emerald blue or give off sparks of the same tone.
Blue Koi Fish Locker: She is wearing a certain jewelery around her neck, which she never takes off and which she treasures more than anything. It is the crest of Cortana' family-line and it used to belong to her mother, whom gave it to her right before she left Aurum. It isn't big in size, but just small enough and the chain can be adjusted depending on how Phia needs it to be. This locker gives her the hope and strength to go on and work towards going back home.
PERSONALITY
Phia is a cheerful opportunist, who manages to be equally clumsy and agile at the same time, though it often ends up her being just slow, but when it comes to working on her electronical devices, she can be rather fast. Even then, there is this cold chicness to her, that is defenetly one of her biggest charms. The time frame that she lives in is either there or non-existent, causing her to be late to meetings and other things; or just becomes distracted easily by other things. She likes to have aces in her sleeve, in case something truly goes off wrong and she is the one about losing the game.
But if it comes to climbing to sewers or do any other nasty mission that others would probably whine about, Phia will just shrug and get to it, although it used to be like that in Aurum, but now she just prefers to be surrounded by all kinds of technology and gaming, which is also her occupation.
Makes friends with ease and would be quite good listener, if she wasn't such a scatter-brain. At the same time she either tells stories which are not true about herself or half-true or just avoids the subjects falling on her own life. The less people know about her real past, the better for them and the best for Phia.
Being a bit of a trickster, Phia has a tendency to play little, harmless pranks on people from time to time, depending what mood she is in. Phia holds close those she personally knows and is willing to do anything to protect them, her loyalty holding a great strength and value. Due to her background, she tends to keep to herself now, though; mainly scared of losing anyone she truly cares about like she lost her home and her friends, family and job along with it.
Despite her being a complete goofball, Phia has the general personality traits that all of her kind tend to have; which is that she can become mysterious - does not talk about her plans, tactics nor shares about her personal life; being secretive is just one of her major parts in the persona that the female carries. And being watchful - constantly analyzing others around herself, she also hides that quite well.
Special Talents:
✔ Phia used to have amazing talent in using different military equipment from guns to ships. That talent came from her mother' line, whom have been working side by side with many inventors in the past.
HISTORY
Coming from the long line of Cortana's, whom always worked in the weaponsmithery and fixing ships, Phia was the oldest child in the family, eventually becoming oldest sister to twin brother-sisters as well. Resembling much like her mother, both of them being the only redheads in their family and one of the very few in their district. From early on, her parents understood that she is probably more talented than both of their parents put together and thus honed her skills as best as possible. Although Phia preferred to be among the gunoil and mechanics, she became to value the comfort and necessity of water.
Before Phia was placed on one of the ships, she found out about her parent's plan. The Heiress of Cortana line opposed, as she preferred to stay behind and with the family to aid the royal family, but she was set up on a journey. Right before they headed to the nearest, unharmed ship, they were ambushed and it became a bloodbath instantly. Her mother was on her lap, with shivering hands the strained amulet was placed into Phia' arms and next thing she remembered was being dragged off and onto the floater, which speed off towards the destination. All she had left was hope for her mother to stay alive... just somehow... and the hope to return home.
Earth:
Settling in into a small, but spacious apartment in Tokyo, Japan, Phia held dear to her name and although in Japan, she is known as Hinata Takahashi just to get by better. There she built herself up, slowly growing into fame and becoming professional gamer. This has brought her enough finances to travel around the world and not just compete, and thanks to her new profession, Phia recently bought herself a nice and cozy house.
