Name: Astrid Kelda
Age: 19
Race: Human\sprite
Gender: Female
Appearance: Astrid stands about five foot and is slender. She is rather attractive, but not by most accounts beautiful; she could be gorgeous if she tried, though. Her hair is night black, straight, and falls to her lower back or mid back if done in a braid as is typical. Her arms are muscular, but attractively defined. Her legs are athletic, but smooth. Her face is round with high, freckled cheeks, and usually accented by two stray bangs that droop just outside her eyelines. Her eyes are a gentle green of a serene forest.
Characteristics (+): Astrid is quite friendly to anyone who is her friend. She is quite protective and will stand up for her friends. She likes having a good time, and is well capable of producing a good time. Making people smile comes naturally to her.
Characteristics (-): Astrid can be a bit paranoid when first meeting people, often shying away or attacking if approached. She is typically selfish and doesn't share. She can be mischievous at times and is fond of pranks, which can easily be mistaken for mean-spiritedness. She tends to think too highly of her own skills.
Special Skills: Astrid is a Thokka dancer, very skilled in mana dances. She is also proficient with sabres
Possessions: Astrid wears very little clothing, preferring only enough for modesty, though she often goes about in a long green cloak when she is with her school. She has two wooden sabres that hang in vine sheathes. A necklace of vine holds a whitish gem.
Motivation: To protect her friends, be they human, animal, or plant.
*Special notes: The Thokka is a special type of dance that, through mana, can create a numerous amount of effects for those around the dancer, depending on the dance and the song. There are four "schools" of Thokka: huldra, sjora, havsra, and bergsra. Each type utilizes different effects.
*Special notes: Astrid was taken as a Thokka dancer at the age of three by a Huldra school. She was trained in many dances as well as in sabre fighting and dancing. Because she is half-sprite, she cannot hold metal, so she uses wooden sabres.
These are the dances she has learned and can perform (for my reference, I recorded the types of dance as I develop them):
Dance of Innvikling: A dance which causes vines to grow from the ground under the control of the dancer. (The dance is flexable, and can vary from a gentle saunter to a myriad of spins and jumps. The song is a constant, even melody of soprano nature.)
Dance of Skyndiliga: A dance which causes a selected group to gain heightened dexterity and agility.
Dance of Illusie: A dance which causes a selected group to become invisible. (An oriental style of dance that primarily involves the arms, with a hushed, ambiatic tone of crisp words.)
Dance of Vinder: A dance that causes the wind to blow.
Dance of Bloei: A dance that causes plants to blossom and produce fruit.
Dance of Vaerliv: A dance that can bring certain things back to life.
Dance of Kykr: A dance that can give plants temporary sentience.
Dance of Skoger: A dance that can turn things into wood. (A slow, swaying dance (sort of like a very slow belly dance), accompanied by a deep, mournful song.)
Dance of Kvisa: A dance that can communicate with people far away.
Dance of Oer: A dance that controls the flight of arrows.
Dance of Orka: A dance that grants strength to a selected group.
There are several others that she cannot perform by herself.
