THE MAKING
APPEARANCE | Ignisa has an unnatural height of nearly over six feet, which is somewhat startling and intimidating at first glance. But her posture is usually comfortable and relaxed, which makes her seem shorter and less threatening after a while. Such height also makes her stand out in the crowd during the seasonal festivities and draws attention that she does not necessarily wish to have. When dancing, one would assume that this height makes her clumsy and awkward, but truth be told, any lack of grace is due to the fact that she rarely dances, rather than her great height, and is also offset by her lean build, which allows her grace and flexibility like the willow trees that bend but never break in the wind.
With pale skin that shines like marble under the light of the moon, Ignisa truly stands out at night. When still, she looks like a statue that has caught the direct light from the moon. Her skin is unblemished and unwrinkled even with her age, and this is partly due to healing with magic. But she is not excessive, for she knows that she has better things to do, such as taking care of the welfare of the people of her city. Her eyes, set in a strong and firmly unyielding face, convey deep wisdom and understanding of the world that she has grown up in, and too portray a hidden sadness with the loss of her husband, dead many years.
With brown hair so dark it looks almost black, Ignisa's hair frames a face that is pale and oval in shape. There is a glossy sheen over her hair such that it reflects the light of the moon at night, outlining her figure, and whenever she moves, it ripples gently as though in a breeze, emphasizing its wavy nature. Ignisa tends to it only to prevent her from looking untidy, but otherwise allows her body to deal with the rest. But old as she is, some streaks of grey hair have indeed appeared in recent times.
As a weaver of fine clothes, Ignisa knows how to dress in suitable colours that would help make her look at her best. She usually dresses simply, not in a mood to show off her status or impress people. Maybe she would normally wear light brown or white or grey in wool, with perhaps one or two simple yet delicate designs woven in silk. When she is out in the general public she wears common cotton, although admittedly with designs more intricate and elaborate than any surf or servant under her would wear. The only time when she actually dresses up to kill is when she presents herself at court for any special occasion, when she wears the normal body-hugging robes reserved for such occasions.
PERSONALITY | Ignisa's spirit is like that of fire, a fire that cannot be quenched or overshadowed easily whatever the circumstances.
Fire brings warmth and light, its heat nourishes and nurtures. The fire of Ignisa's spirit can bring peace and comfort to those who seek it, and lifts, for a time, the shadows that burden their hearts. Her presence is a boon for some, but it is not announced with trumpets and drums, or with any fanfare, for that matter. Ignisa's presence is quiet, gentle and unassuming, and many people only notice it when it is no longer there.
Fire usually dies over time, but Ignisa's spirit has only strengthened, for the trials that she endures are but fuel for her soul. They have strengthened the flames and fanned the strength of her spirit from burning embers to a raging bonfire. She is but a shining beacon of light that is veiled in a humble cloak, and that is only revealed but at great need and times of despair, burning away fear and replacing it with hope. For she is like a mother to a child, patient and enduring, loving and gentle, and she does not wish for people to look at her in awe - she is but mortal, and imperfect.
But fire is wild and unpredictable if unmanaged and uncontrolled. The fire of Ignisa's spirit can destroy and burn away all that is treasured and loved. Ignisa has the power within her to do so, being gifted in wielding magic. And even as the fire of her spirit flares out of control, so does she use the Magic in her in unpredictable and dangerous ways in uncontrolled anger. She is not easily roused, yet those that have seen her in a fury have pronounced it startling for one who often appears to be gentle and compassionate. And those that have triggered and borne the brunt of her anger may sometimes not survive it.

THE POWER UP
WEAPON | NIL
WEAPON LEVEL | NIL
SPECIAL ABILITY | Elementalism - Ignisa's greatest strength has always lain in the realm of elementalism, manipulating the very elements around her. Her father, an elemental who could manipulate all the elements around him, passed on his powers into her genetic makeup when he died, and although she can only manipulate a few chosen elements due to her limitations as a human, she wields them with skill and strength that comes of years of long practice and hard work.
Ignisa’s ability at Fire and Lightning is important at keeping away bandit raids, and she does that with immense efficiency. She can shape fire and flames to her every thought, creating something as simple as a ball, or something as delicate as a mini-figurine. Ignisa can light something as small as a candle wick, and is powerful enough to destroy a house with a large fireball. She also uses her powers to stave off the bitter cold of the winters of Deflou Spero, though this can be extremely draining.
Lightning is unpredictable, and often thought to be uncontrollable. However, Ignisa is obtained a rough mastery of this branch of the elements through great emotional control and inner peace. She does not seek absolute control over the element per say, but rather uses magic to guide the lightning to a desired effect. With this power, Ignisa has incinerated a bandit or two. Ignisa can also summon lightning from a cloudless sky, but the best results and power usually come from a source, such as an overhead thundercloud.
The final element that Ignisa has achieved some measure of skill over is Water. Though by no means able to duplicate the feats of the water Elims, Ignisa nonetheless is competent at manipulating moderate amounts of water. Able to slow down the flow of a river or change the state of water to ice or steam and vice versa, she has thus a formidable array of tools at her disposal. With great time and a huge amount of effort, Ignisa could probably create a small whirlpool in the middle of a pond or so.
Ignisa has also displayed some slight ability at working the weather and the air, able to summon a light breeze to cool her off, or perhaps nudge gently small clouds in the sky to gather and form rain showers. She also can manipulate pebbles, but nothing much more of earth, for it is her weakest element.
It is to be noted that Ignisa cannot create elements besides Fire and Lightning. And that her powers are best manipulated when she has her hands free, though she can channel power through her eyes, of course. And though Ignisa is very strong in magical terms for a mortal, she still has her limits, and wielding powerful magic for long periods of time can render her comatose for days if she is not careful.
Shielding - Ignisa has the power to magically shield herself with a sphere of pure energy surrounding her in all directions. It is to be noted that while she can shield and wield the elements at the same time, the total strength of magic flowing through her must be finite. So if she needs a strong shield, she cannot wield the elements with power.

Give a well detailed description of your character's past ; at least one paragraph, if not more. Explain how they came to stumble upon this pace and how they got here. Also, it will be wise to include what created them and why. Such as: was it a little girl? and adult? was it caused by the fear of failure? a need for a friend? so on so forth. Original characters may be shorter here, I expect canon characters to be well thought out, as they come with more perks.[/style]
