Emilee

[Nishette]

Name:
Emilee Woods. Call her Emilee, but if you're friendly towards her you may use Emi.

Age:
Emi is rather young. She is sixteen, but somewhat mature for her age.

Gender:
She's a girl. How weird it would be to name a boy Emilee.

Species:
She's what one would commonly call a "fox person". The reverse of anthropomorphic, I'm sure there's a word for it. A human with animal qualities.

Description and Physiology:
She's a normal, if quite thin, human teenager. Except that her skin is russet with cream muzzle and black foxish markings (you guys prolly know what a fox is). And the minor fact that instead of human ears she has foxish ones poking out from her short black hair. And a somewhat large foxy tail. And paws (though the foot paws are usually crammed in sneakers). She has green eyes, but due to poor close-range eyesight wears thin black glasses or goggles (her far eyesight is near perfect, thereby permitting her to be an archer).


A few dietary notes-she can eat a salad just as well as a steak, but the meat is her obvious preference. Due to large amounts of physical activity, she must eat quite a bit (but can stay slim cause this is magic and I like wishful thinking).

Oh yeah, and she's left handed.

Physical Abilities:
She can dig quite well, and she is very fast. However, swimming and flying are out of the question.

Supernatural Abilities:
She isn't your stereotypical witch, but she does have some crude magic power. Emilee can call up a little fire with a lot of concentration. This power she refers to as "the fire". Anything larger than a fireplace blaze, however, leaves her quite spent.

Some mechanics of the fire: It is essentially a little bit of her soul discharged. This does not have any affect upon her lifespan, but it does tire you out. A good analogy is spending a day driving-you expend very little physical effort, but it drains your emotional health and makes you a little cranky.

Weaponry:
Like most canines, she has fangs and claws but prefers not to use them. Instead she prefers her bow and arrow, in the use of which she is somewhat proficient.

About the bow...
It was given to her by Whiteoak on her very first expedition. It is quite tall, really, almost her size. Although one would believe it heavy due to its construction (laminated hardwood, soft woods, and a touch of bone. Mother of pearl inlays and a velvet grip. Cue wolf whistle.), it is actually quite light. The string is relatively easy to pull. She named it Acorn for no obvious reason other than being a gift from an 'oak'.

The quiver has but three arrows. One with brown and white feathers, one with iridescent green, and one with white.

The brown ones are extremely accurate and can sail long distances, but only if her target is visible.

Magic is in the green ones, as they hit with a elemental blast of her selection (typically fire) over a ten foot radius.

White feathers are her messengers, carrying either paper or verbal messages.

Her quiver is enchanted in its own right, replenishing an arrow within moments of it being shot.


Equipment:
I've already mentioned the goggles and glasses. She keeps a bag slung around her shoulder for containing things. The bow is usually fastened across her back.

Since you asked me not to, I'll go into what she wears most days. Her clothing is simple, just a black shirt and denim jeans coupled with her grey sneakers. Her quiver is slung around her shoulder and her bow is fastened to the strap. There's a claddagh ring around her ring "finger".

Home:
Back in Verdi she had a small apartment with her brother.

Origin:
She came from Verdi. Verdi is a small town located in an unnamed universe.

History:
I think I'll let Emi tell you this herself.

"I was born to Catherine and Marcus Woods. Catherine left the world as I was entering into it, and my father...let's not say much about him. For most of my life my brother raised me. And I haven't a clue how I got here."

Alignment:
Neutral, but with a tendency to be good.

Personality:
Emi tends to stay pretty peppy unless she gets frustrated, upset, or depressed. If that happens she gets really emotional and stubborn. This usually ends in tears.

Known Weaknesses:
Emilee tends to panic, and she cannot stand water. She tends to exert herself too much and get burnt out, and if she disappoints someone she does not let it go.
