WITCH
[/font]Name: Ravenna
Alias: No alias.
Gender: Female.
Age: 368
Animal: Raven
Appearance:
Ravenna is about five foot, two inches, and weights about one-hundred twenty-six pounds. Her skin is a fair shade of peach, and her eyes are a reddish-brown, with black pupils. She has straight, shoulder-length hair that is black, and she has a chest-length braid on the right side of her head. Ravenna is of a slender build, and has a flat chest, even though she doesn’t mind it at all.
Ravenna’s outfit is a long-sleeved black dress that almost goes down to her ankles. Her sleeves are puffy towards the top, and the bottom of her dress is lined with black feathers. She also has a black witch hat, that has a black feathery ribbon attached to it. Ravenna also wears a black feather boa. Ravenna also sometimes wears a black feather boa, but usually leaves it behind at home. If she does wear it, she wraps it around her neck like a scarf.
Personality: Ravenna is the type of person who would throw a sarcastic remark at whatever’s in front of her. She can be viewed as bitter, and somewhat cold. However, when it comes to other witches, Ravenna can be helpful if she’s around, and is always ready to give a helping hand. When’s she’s aggravated on the other hand, she usually winds up being a bit more selfish, and usually cusses more.
Ravenna is somewhat aware of her dark intentions, but she does it out of habit. She always viewed humans as cruel to some extent after all, and isn’t afraid to defeat one. Unsurprisingly, her remarks are usually aimed at them.
She also has a tendency to be attracted to shiny objects, and would usually taunt wolf and dog related witches if she got the chance, but when it comes to her remarks, humans are bigger victims. She also likes playing jokes on humans, and watching their reactions. She often chuckles at enraged ones too. However, she doesn’t like it when they backfire onto her. Such jokes usually use her lesser-powerful spells in the process if she isn‘t using soul protect, or her mimicking other sounds, like a normal raven would do, except they don’t cast spells obviously, but that‘s aside from the point. She usually did this a lot to her older sisters beforehand.
She fears defeat and ending up like her dead sister, which is mentioned in her history. If someone brought that up, she'd have a hard time talking about it, and usually curls up into a corner. Another thing she dislikes the idea of working with humans, regardless of if they’re normal, a meister, or a weapon. She also doesn’t like really cold areas, and would never want to go to Antarctica after her animal-like behavior kicked in. However, she’s fine with other locations, and usually likes traveling, but that came in after the behavior kicked in too. After all, she moved a lot before her witch-powers developed. Nowadays, she especially likes travelling in the air, due to being a raven-based witch.
Usually she doesn’t care for falling in love, but if someone tries to hit on her, she prefers them to be male. Otherwise she gets freaked out by the idea of girls crushing on her. She always thought of that as weird, because she never had learnt that such a thing existed, but knew that the former did. Another thing that bugs her is traditional views on witches. Most people would think they have green skin and warts with stringy black hair, and wore similar clothes to her. The slight mention of it is enough to aggravate her, and call a person out for it.
She is also easily exhausted, and really isn't very strong or powerful. If she did do such things, she'd probably collapse, and when she had gone to human schools in the past, P.E. was her least favorite subject, and especially when they taught self-defense, more often than not, Ravenna usually got bad grades.
History: When Ravenna was little, she was raised like a normal witch, and even had about three other sisters. She was taught that humans were evil by her family, and that any of them could’ve been a meister or weapon in disguise. Like her sisters, Ravenna didn’t really think that they would harm her. After all, she often befriended quite a few of them within her life time, and never saw them as a threat from what she had learned in normal schools that humans attend. Usually, they were nice to her as well back then. However, these friendships came and gone quickly, and even for those that had lasted longer, the friend usually died due to non-related reasons. Those around her that weren't witches grew older, while Ravenna didn't really change too much psychically. She acknowledge the fact she was a witch, and was supposed to live longer than others. Due to that, her family often moved around to prevent suspicion, and unsurprisingly, a lot of friendship potentials were cut short. However, the reason they moved so much was because someone, may it be a friend, or enemy would get suspicious.
Her family life was more traditional, and she viewed her sisters as her only true friends. This is especially the case with her younger sister Merla (Which is a feminine form of a name that means “Blackbird”) who was also a witch that was only 3 years younger than her. Usually Merla looked younger, and the two grew up around each-other quite a bit. Ravenna had a lot of happy memories when Merla was around, and they enjoyed each-other's company. There was even a time, where Ravenna nearly saved Merla from being beaten up by a bully who became suspicious of the two. As a result, Ravenna grew a strong sisterly bond with Merla, and were really good friends. As for her other 2 sisters, she didn't really share as much of a bond, and since those two were older, they poked fun at her a lot, and harassed her. However, these were nothing serious. After all, she usually pranked them as revenge. That eventually affected others later on, once she began to despise humans.
That was until one day at age 178, she and Merla were on a walk, when they encountered a meister and her weapon. The meister and weapon were cleverly disguised as boyfriend, and girlfriend, and at the time, the sisters were lost. The witches asked the two for directions, but because they weren’t using Soul Protect at the time (Or were too young to learn it, depending on if 178 was a logical enough age) the meister quickly detected them.
As a result, a fight started between Merla, and the duo, with Ravenna as a witness. Spells, and abilities were sent flying at each other, and before Ravenna knew it, Merla was killed in front of Ravenna. (Because as any meister would know, you’d need a witch soul last to become a death scythe, and besides Merla was only 175 then.) Around then, Ravenna’s magical abilities began to develop, and she began to fight back for a while until the point she was injured pretty badly by the Meister and Weapon team.
Ravenna quickly ran away from the two, before they could kill her two, and she had lost them along the way. As a result of that, Ravenna began to take her lessons seriously, and despised meisters, and their weapons, since she didn’t see that coming. However, a while after the battle, her destructive tendencies and animalistic behavior kicked in, and others around her began to suspect that something was wrong with her. Most people think personalities don’t change that fast, as she was cheerful in the past, but she then had to lie for a while, and even then, people got suspicious.
After a while, she did confess to a close friend she made about 4 years ago that the meister and weapon team killed her sister. The friend was shocked, and quickly told every other suspicious person at the time, and so on. The friend never mentioned the meister and weapon team, and just mentioned her sister being killed. Usually this resulted in laughter from the people, when Ravenna was close by, but there had been times where Ravenna herself was accused of killing her sister. She usually walked away redder than a cherry tomato when both of those events happened. Afterwards, she never wanted to speak to her "friend"
again.
After all of that happened for about 6 months, Ravenna felt shunned, and went into hiding for a while, after becoming a witch with magical powers, and new traits to her personality. Before Merla got killed, the only witch-trait she was aware of was her longevity. From there, she preferred to be secluded from normal humans, and felt ashamed of telling her friend the truth. After all, it impacted her views on humans pretty badly, and she suspected the friend to be a meister or weapon, since she never brought up the murders. She never found out about that though. As they say, some things are supposed to stay secret, and Ravenna occasionally scolds harshly herself for telling the truth.
Mantra: “Raving-Raven-Rave-Raven.”
Spells/Abilities: Abilities Soul Protect, Flight, Spiritual Flexibility, Longevity.
- Feather Stream - Ravenna fires a few black feathers at her opponent like arrows from her pointer-fingers as if they were guns. They may or may not harm the victim.
- Feather Shield - Ravenna’s forms a oval shield using raven feathers to protect herself. However, it is some-what easy to penetrate, since it only truly works half the time.
- Raven Tornado - A tornado of feathers forms around Ravenna for a short period of time. It isn’t very powerful, but it is rather fast, so aimed attacks might have a disadvantage due to Ravenna’s speed
- Raven‘s Aim - Ravenna summons a chain of raven feathers, which swirls around her body. She then directs it at an enemy, but the chain doesn‘t always hit, and it could be easily reflected by an opponent.
- Raven Ray - Ravenna puts her hands side-by-side and fires a huge laser consisting of raven feathers at her opponents. This is her slowest, and most powerful spell. However, after using this attack, Ravenna uses up a lot of energy. She would become rather weak afterwards.
[/size]Performance: Ravenna prefers to use spells that effect the opponent from farther distances, and doesn't like to resort to close-combat at all. Ravenna thinks that she is better off dealing with others from farther distances, and has become good at it. She also prefers not to use very powerful spells either, as they drain up her energy, and leave her exhausted. As a result, most of her spells -save for Raven Ray which is usually used in emergency situations- are weak. Raven Ray on the other hand, drains her energy rapidly, and if it goes on for too long, it could kill her easily. Thankfully, one of her advantages is speed, and uses it to her advantage in attacks like "Raven Tornado". As a result, she can be hard to attack, but her stamina’s low enough that the battle doesn’t last forever. However, she has no problem with attacking in the air, even though she prefers using her broomstick to fly most of the time. Defense is about average.

RP Sample:
Ravenna flew over Death City on her broomstick, and looked down. The sight of the city at night amused her, and when she’s flying, she usually didn’t care about meisters and their weapons attacking them. Well, unless they learnt how to fly, but Ravenna never dealt with them that way. After all, they were mostly human.
“It’s such a good night tonight,” Ravenna told herself, “Not an bother in sight, and I can look at the city from above.”
Ravenna then smiled and looked back down. She then slowly flew around Death City, and looked at the sights from above. Some of them marveled her, but she would need to return to a safe area soon. After all, someone would get suspicious of a flying witch on a broomstick. Besides, she wasn’t using soul protect at the time, and could’ve been easily caught by a meister. She looked down again to check if their's any recognizable ones. Nope not at all.
"Why should I be worrying," Ravenna told herself, "Everyone's probably more concerned with their personal business."
The black-haired witch looked down again, and a few people were staring at her. Ravenna quickly flew off afterwards, in fear that she could’ve ended up like her deceased sister Merla. You never know who's a meister or weapon.
"That was close," Ravenna thought, "If that was someone that can suspect me for being a witch, I'd hate to see how that would end."
Ravenna laughed her thought off, as she was flying, but quickly stopped laughing.
"I've really got to consider a civilian disguise from now on," The black-haired witch reminded herself, "Or I'm pretty much toast."
She was probably right. With the black dress, and witch hat, she might look suspicious to others. After all, didn't traditional witches wear black dresses and black hats too? Ravenna shuddered at the thought of it. She had never seen any green-skinned witches before, let alone ones covered in warts with stringy-black hair as well. Dismissing those thoughts, she decided to continue flying around Death City to keep herself occupied for the time being.
