IRIS BASTILLE
Name: Iris BastilleTitle: N/A
Age: 21
Race: Elven
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 128
Gender: Female
Rank: 4
Affiliation: Clubs
Appearance: Iris always handles herself with grace, confident, and poise to the point that no one would guess she is a low ranked mage who was practically disowned from her family. Despite that dying her hair towards the ends seems to clash with her personality the rumor is that this is an attempt to stand out. She almost always has her head in a book, often multi tasking between reading and whatever task she has been assigned.
Personality (optional) : She has been described as being a bit too uptight. She hardly ever goofs off and even at a young age it wouldn't have been strange to think she was just a nanny who never hit a growth spurt. She takes pride in her professionalism, ability to plan things out, and punctuality and almost detests anyone who doesn't do the same. Because she has had to claw her way to even achieve her current rank she is a workaholic and finds it difficult to relax. This gives her a bit of a chip on her shoulder since she is always ready to prove others wrong even if it is the result of a fabricated slight on her ability. She becomes flustered when things do not go as planned and although she usually overcomes setbacks she does have doubts about being a worthy mage let alone royal.
She can be cynical and pessimistic despite her aspirations; however, she is not unkind. She will almost always honor her debts and will never forget those who have been kind to her. Despite her hardened and serious demeanor she has a soft spot for cute things. Calling her out on it will only fluster her even more.
Biography:
Under different circumstances she would have made a great politician, or an elected official; however, fate had other things in mind. She came from a family line that possessed great power. No one in their bloodline had ever been ranked below a 7 and this was coupled with their high social status. However, once Iris discovered her abilities, she was seen as a black sheep due to her low ranking magic (rank 2 at the time). Her magic was not lethal, nor was it highly ranked among support magic (particularly in battle). To gain the good graces of her family she poured her all into studying and improving her mind by using both her magic and her natural intellect to no avail. Despite her many efforts to prove herself worthy of the family name she could never compete with a fire breather, a rock crusher, or a water gusher. If one were to highlight her intellect alone, she would be considered a prodigious talent. By the age of 14, albeit with the help of her magic, she was well versed in law, tactics, business. Those subjects in particular could help make her a great royal; however, she was still far too weak to even mention such a dream without being scoffed out. Despite her intellectual gains, she remained relatively unnoticed. Now she has furthered her intellectual spectrum by studying history, geography, and science.
After the royal tournament, which she failed to sneak into, she ran into X at a bar. He was complaining about becoming the King. Honestly the nerve of some people. Here was this man, who was living out her dream of being one of the 3 royals and he had the nerve to not only complain, but drink it off as some cause for depression. Iris was drowning her sorrows because of the exact opposite reason. Choosing to ignore the foolish brat Iris angrily flipped through the pages of her favorite books while X continued to get shitfaced. Of course X asked her if she had a paper cut fetish which brought her back to the real world. (She had gotten so used to her methods of reading that she forgot that it was uncommon.) After reluctantly explaining her abilities to the strange man, she was surprised when X called it a terrifying ability. At first she thought he was being an ass, but after prodding him further his words appeared to be genuine. Out of all the people who had entered her life this drunken idiot was the first to acknowledge her abilities, although she wouldn't say her abilities were anywhere near terrifying. X took it a step further and hired her as his personal assistant. She wasn't sure how valid the words of a half drunken King was, but this was a small step toward her end goal.
Of course when she showed up to work the next day X claimed to have never met the woman in his life. However, once she explained her abilities again X pretty much had the same reaction after admitting he did remember some chick coming on to him at a bar. After an actual job interview which consisted of X "testing her" with a few "practice documents" she became his personal assistant.
Abilities:
Literacy Manipulation
Iris has the ability to instantly read and understand any form of literature simply by touching its pages/medium, even if it is in an uncommon language. This includes maps. This allows her to sort paperwork, conduct research, and study at an exponential pace. This is even helpful for works that have aged over time, making them difficult to read by normal means. Under the influence of her mana she can repair these works of literature to their prime form. She can even make edits (ex inserting/deleting words, font etc) to the works in question.
Instant Messaging
Iris has the ability to craft a special piece of paper that she calls, Ka. This allows for communication between her and anyone of her choosing no matter the distance. However, this communication only works if you are contacting her since she can only open the channel for you to write and receive messages with her ability. Each crafted item is special and unique to the user since she needs the mana of the person in question to create it. A byproduct of this ability, due to the nature of its composition, is that the paper acts as a mana tracker; moreover, she can somewhat sense the condition of the person in question. (If someone dies the paper crumbles to pieces.
