TheDarkOwl
The Unseen
Name: Elia
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Species: Human/ Stymphalian bird
Personality: Elia definitely isn’t a very open person. Most of the time she has a stern look on her face, which is probably the reason why people hesitate to approach her. Despite her stern looks, she can actually be a really nice person once you get to know her and she will be very trustworthy. Although she can be nice, she needs quite some alone time and is not easy to gain her trust. She may also somtimes come off as rude, due to her sarcastic attitude. Her smarts often get her out of tricky situations. Besides that, she also doesn’t really want people to know what she is, due to her “curse”.
History: Stymphalian birds are creatures of greek mythology and believed to have died out thousands of years ago. They are man-eating birds with beaks of bronze and sharp metallic feathers they could launch at their victims. These birds used to be pets of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. They migrated to a swamp in Arcadia to escape a pack of wolves. There they bred quickly and swarmed over the countryside, destroying crops, fruit trees, and townspeople. Eventually they were believed to be defeated by the hero Hercules in his sixth labour.
A couple of birds managed to escape, however, and they began a new live on the island of Aretias. Which is where they swore vengeance to eliminate Hercules. Due to their small numbers, they could not properly reproduce and they died out. Every thousand years a newborn child is born with the powers of these birds, because they never truly got their vengeance. Hercules was defeated his spirit still lives on in the tales of old.
Elia inherited these powers, but wit hit came a terrible curse. Because Stymphailian birds are man-eating, she can not survive without eating human flesh. If she doesn’t her powers will slowley dwindle and so will her life. The power manifested in her when she turned 16 and wit hit came the memories of her ancestors. She tried to keep her powers hidden from society and was almost found out before, she went tot he academy.
Looks:
Powers(explain them a bit): The ability to shapeshift into a Stymphalian bird.
In her bird form she can fly and launch her metallic feathers at opponents. This will only influence her flying slightly (If she fires a few, not all) as her feathers regrow within a couple of seconds. Her beak and claws are seriously sharp. Although she does have metal covering her whole body, it is not very strong or heavy. An arrow shot from a long bow will rip though her armour, but because of the little weight she is pretty fast and agile.
She can also launch her metallic feathers at people, with a flick of her wrist, while in her human form. This is limited to one at a time, though.
Crush(if any): None
Relatives(if any): Mom, dad, brother. They are at home and don’t know about her "abilities". They think she just went to a normal academy.
Pets(if any): None
Likes: Chocolate, alone time,
Dislikes: Hyper-active people, stupid people,
Year/s at Academy: 1st
Class Electives(may have 3): Beasts class, Dark Arts, Angelic Arts.
Dorm number: Dorm 1, room 17
