After a bit of thinking, I realized that this character role will be quite the change for me.
Usually my character loses fights due to the limited things that I give it to fight.
I fear the day I accidentally make an overpowered character.
So, I usually give the character a mixed set of things that I hope balance it. Sometimes it has more character flaws than character skills.
So Hopefully I can fulfill the role of the team's soldier without being overpowered or unbalanced.

That works. o_o I mean... my character is terrible at magic. xD she loves magic and she's terrible at it, and that's not just in the flaws that I gave her. When we do combat,
Zer0
rolls for it and my character's rolls generally are always bad... except with her mace... she can actually hit stuff with it and that's totally odd. lmao I think a character is more believable if they have more flaws.

That sounds nice!
Idk about my character though, I may look over the CS again to check things.
I may need to add more flaws to my cs.

Spells, Stunts, and Tricks
Perception
1. “Information I must descry. Speakers’ voices, Amplify” – Eavesdrop (Successful). If she shortens the spell to just “Amplify” it creates a stereo effect for herself and anyone in her immediate vicinity. Any attempt by her to change the spell or use a word in place of “Amplify” causes an echo effect or other unknown consequences.
Conjuration
2. “When danger is nigh, I must run! To aid my escape, this dust will Stun” – Temporarily enchant dust, sand, or dirt type particles to stun someone for a couple of seconds when blown in their face (successful). If the spell is shortened it temporarily numbs her hand. If she tries to change the spell or substitute words it causes either herself or the intended target to go into a sneezing fit.
• “To elude our enemies, sweep this dust up in a gale. Cast them into darkness, leave them blind, Shadow Veil” – Uses dust, dirt, or sand type particles to create a veil of darkness that temporarily blinds all enemies within a set radius (Successful). Shortening the spell blinds Lydia and her allies. For alterations see “stun” spell.
3. “Darkness falls, it’s getting late. We’ll need light, Illuminate” – Creates a glow like a flashlight (successful). Shortening the spell causes the light to not glow as bright. Alterations to the spell cause it to shoot varying degrees of sparks from harmless to weaponized.
• “Burning flame, heed my call. Reduce to cinders, Fireball” – Weaponized (Successful). Shortening to just “Fireball casts an errant ball of fire that bounces around if in an enclosed space. For alterations see light spell.
• “Children of the heavens, let them feel my ire. Set mine enemies ablaze, Rain of Fire” – Fire rains from the sky on a focused area (successful). Shortening the spell summons an indignant, self-righteous, and disagreeable minor fire demon named Flaria. For variations see light spell.
Steal
4. "Secrets inside, I must see. Open this lock, Skeleton Key" - Magical key for opening magical and mundane locks alike (successful). Shortening the spell unties knots, bows, undoes buckles, etc. Variations causes Lydia to open her mouth, as in she blurts out a random secret belonging to herself or someone else.
Physical Defense
5. Algiz – Lydia draws the rune of protection or shield on the palm of her hand and can focus manna into it to create a shield for herself. Dispels if she tries to cast another spell or loses focus, can be used with mace.
One-hnaded
6. Uruz – A rune Lydia has etched into her mace that activates whenever her will for success is particularly strong and gives her added physical strength. Must be touching her mace in order for the rune to activate.
Skills
1. Thwack! - Lydia puts her weight into a well-aimed swing of her mace.
Notes
1. She is allergic to dogs.
2. She has a memorable singing voice.
3. She is studious but clumsy.
4. Always tries to look on the bright side.
5. Has a short and hot temper.
6. Her father owns a stocking, sock, soft footwear manufacturing company, Dubois’ Foot Finery.
7. Her mother’s cat is named Empress and she has a haughty personality.
8. Loves sandwiches almost as much as she loves raspberry cake with lemon frosting.
9. Brave beyond logic and measure.
10. Socially awkward when it comes to emotions beyond happiness, sadness, and anger.
Persona
The sound of long skirts rustling along carpet along with pattering feet could be heard behind the closed doors as they moved swiftly through the hallway. The sun had long since risen and its rays shown in bright beams of light that illuminated the hallway from beyond window panes decorated by thick rouge curtains. Of course all of this was lost on Lydia as she sat amongst mountains of books within her family’s library completely engrossed in the tome she was currently studying.
Shortly the double doors to the library flew open as her mother followed by two maids entered the room.
“Lydia! Here you are!”
The gust of air that was created by the opened door sent several loose sheets of paper to fly up into the air and Lydia was quickly torn from her book as she scrambled to collect them, looking at her mother in utter shock, her green eyes wide.
“What? What happened?!”
Her mother frowned slightly as she stared at Lydia, the muscles of her face twitching as though she couldn’t even produce the proper expression for what she felt at the moment. However, she was a patient woman and simply placed a resigned hand to her forehead as she gently spoke to her daughter.
“My dear girl, have you completely forgotten?” She stepped closer to Lydia and collected the papers that had been loosed from the girl’s hands and placed them in a flat chest designed specifically for paper and closed the latch before gesturing with her fingertips towards one of the maids who then placed a letter in her hand, “your apprenticeship under Howl Pendragon was to start today...”
“Was?” Lydia’s face darkened as it was drawn into mild worry, her eyes focused on her mother’s actions before they stopped on the letter that her mother began to open before handing it to Lydia.
“Dear Madam Dubois,
It is my deep regret that I am unable to receive your daughter as my apprentice at this time. Certain circumstances have arisen that require my immediate attention.
However, despite the fact that neither myself, nor my wife will be there to welcome Lydia, I would like to invite her to be a guest in my home and study alongside my own children until my return.
I hope that this letter finds you in good health.
Best wishes,
Howl Pendragon”
“I’m sorry, my dear…” Though Madam Dubois was slightly taken aback when she spied the expression that had arisen on Lydia’s girlish features. It was not disappointment, but something more akin to exuberance.
“Sorry nothing! Mother, do you know what this means?!” She shook the paper towards her mother, then realized her own excited actions and carefully smoothed the paper once again with much adoration, “Mother! Mother!!! Master Howl just invited me to stay at his castle while he is away! The castle!”
Madam Dubois stood there in mild shock while she watched her daughter clumsily scramble over some of the stacked books, knocking them over in the process as she made her way to the window and pointed at the flying castle in the distance, beyond the city. It appeared as nothing more than a speck on the horizon, but Lydia knew what it was. Her mother simply gently shook her head and a slight smile surfaced on her plush lips, a feature present on her daughter’s face as well, “Lydia, please remember your age. You are sixteen, try to have a little poise.”
Lydia grimaced slightly and came away from the window, once more stumbling over some of the books. She laughed faintly and attempted to straighten them, “oh… whoops.”
Her mother just laughed and placed an arm around her, “nevermind that. You must get ready to leave.”
Lydia’s hands found her mother’s and clasped them tightly, “oh mother! You mean…?”
Madam Dubois gave a nod and gently caressed her daughter’s cheek, “of course, how could I tell you no?” Her brow furrowed after a moment and she slipped the small circular frames that rested towards the end of Lydia’s rounded nose from her face before she touched below Lydia’s eye, “my dear… have you slept at all?”
The bright grin that had been plastered on Lydia’s face transformed into a wry smile as she collected the glasses from her mother and carefully folded them before she shrugged away, “well…. There was this really interesting chapter on transformation magic and I just kinda’… lost track of time?”
Lydia giggled softly and gave her mother a bashful glance. Madam Dubois just sighed and ushered her daughter towards the door where the maids waited to take her to her room and prepare her for her trip.
****
Lydia sat in the carriage on her way to join the family of her hero, Howl Pendragon. She nervously rubbed at her neck where the ruffled lace of her high collar irritated her skin. Her whole ensemble made her uncomfortable, but her mother insisted that her appearance upon introduction to house Pendragon was important and thus requested that she wear her finest dress which was a deep blue shade accented by silver roses, black lace comprised the collar and decorated the ends of the long sleeves and the skirt was complete with bustle. Needless to say, Lydia felt out of sorts as she had grown more accustomed to more simple dresses without needless decoration that fit more comfortably and didn’t reach all the way to the floor.
Her stomach was full of butterflies and she fidgeted impatiently and uncomfortably as she absently eyed the large parcel that sat on the seat beside her. She knew that her mother wasn’t a shallow person, but the woman seemed bent on her making a good first impression and so along with the dress and feature enhancing cosmetics she now wore, Madam Dubois had also insisted that Lydia bring a gift with her as a thank you. Lydia had chosen raspberry cake with lemon frosting, the top of which was decorated with a variety of fresh berries. It was Lydia’s favorite, especially when accompanied by a cup of hot, black tea with no sugar. Of course she didn’t pick the cake in hopes of eating it, she just really couldn’t see who in their right mind wouldn’t like lemon raspberry cake.
It wasn’t long before the carriage stopped outside of her destination. Lydia checked her hair, ensuring that her bangs were combed smoothly over her forehead and framing her face, the length of her black hair held back in a ponytail, the ends of which her mother had folded under and pinned to resemble a bun. A small blue, felt top hat decorated with black feathers and a lace bow was neatly placed slightly askew atop her head to finish her outfit. She took a deep breath and adjusted her black lace gloves before exiting the carriage and stepping closer to her future.
Personal Goals
1. To gain a better understanding of magic in general and to refine the skills she does possess as well as get better control over those skills.
2. Upon accepting the invitation to be a guest at the castle, she didn’t know that she would need to learn combat skills and considering that she is relatively inept when it comes to magic despite having a great adoration and respect for it, she’ll have to overcome her own misgivings.
3. After the loss of Seifer, she became determined to study shadow creatures, shadow magic, and death knights in order to find a way to restore him.
Relationships
1. Howl Pendragon - For most of her life she idolized him and through her mother she was finally able to become his apprentice, though she has never met him.
2. James Pendragon – Looks up to him almost as much as she looks up to Howl. Also has a bit of a crush on him but she keeps it in check because she has seen how Serena is towards him. Of course she still tries to impress him though.
3. Renee Pendragon – Thinks Renee is a free spirit and admires her for it, also feels like she can relate to her.
4. Seth Pendragon – Sees him as a sort of rival/possible accomplice and friend. Wishes she had half of his agility.
5. Echo Muses – Because she is so gentle but strong, Lydia looks up to her as a sort of motherly figure that she can ask for advice.
6. Johnny Caprice – Doesn’t really know what to think of him since she doesn’t really talk to him because of his fear of girls… well she does think that’s kind of weird.
7. Serena Lock – Appreciates her talent with the violin and sees her as a friend.
8. Seifer Rathmore – Couldn’t stand his well-to-do attitude but grew to like him a little more after they switched bodies. Wants to try and find a way to bring him back.
