Getting to Know You
Name:
Krista Keen
Age:
22
Gender:
Female
Sexual Orientation:
Not sure, hasn't really thought about it
Species:
Mage
What kind (Malicious or Benevolent):
Benevolent, unless demons get to her
What makes you, you!
Personality:
Krista is the one person that at a party, you would never know she was there until her friends introduced you, even then, she may avoid you. She is quite shy and a bit cowardly to those that seem they want to start a fight. She has been know to be innocent but motherly as a kids seem to love being around her. She is a bit klutzy so it is not uncommon to see her trip over nothing. If she gets nervous, she starts to mess with her family heirloom earrings, and if she can still not get out of the situation, she will start to stutter and repeat words she has already said. Once someone gets to know her, though the volume of her voice will never change from a soft one, they will come to see she is a very sweet girl that will stop at nothing to make sure herself, friends (spirit or living), and family are safe and happy.
Looks:
She wears a light blue shirt with a white faded out heart on it, a brown skirt with two different colored brown belts going across, matching boots, tanned pantyhose, white laced gloves that go up to her elbow and both her father's pearl heirloom earrings and her mother's heirloom bracelet.
Magic Type:
It is what you would call, spirit magic. What it entails is that she can see and talk to the spirits around her. She can ask them for help with casting spells if they would like to, and depending on what they were could affect her magic (if they were once a fire mage, the magic may have a bit of a flare too it, literally, or if they were once a vampire, she may find she can cast it a bit faster than normal). At rare times she can tell what someone really wants if the need is strong enough, due to gut feelings being said to be spiritual clues. She can also help them find peace, though at times it makes her sad, it is her favorite part. Because of this, she is susceptible to demons as well, with their kind words and false want to help. She has learned of a dangerous spell she can used which would require her using her own spirit to do, but that usually causes death and she would rather not find out fully what it is yet. Let's just say that the barrier around the island is part of this spell. She can use a miniature version of it, but it wears her out completely and she is out for 2-3 days.
Likes:
Dislikes:
Goals
To one day move to the coast and actually stop being a nomad.
Fears
That a demon will finally get her completely and she will lose herself
Backstory
Family:
Father: Deceased, at he ripe old age of 220
Mother: Alive, 86
Sister: Alive, 48
Bio:
It all starts at about 1025 when her mother's g-g-g-grandmother met her husband, who was from Scandinavia, and brought him over to Scotland with her. A few months after having their first child, they discovered that they had magic in their blood and went to live an isolated life to keep them safe. Fast forward a great-grandparent or two, the family moved from Scotland to an island they had been hearing about. They started to finally feel safe in their own shoes, until they started seeing more and more humans coming in and freaking out, only to leave. With great sadness, but wanting to keep their family safe, her father's great-grandfather and 6 other mages, created a barrier that prevented others from finding the island without help. Her family thought that that type of magic had disappeared with them, but Krista was ready to surprise them. At age 3, she was talking to her "imaginary friend" as her family liked to say, when she came in and asked her mother what the American Revolutionary War was and why her friend did not like the thought of kings much. Her mother nearly dropped the plate she was washing and her father laughed, lifting her up and happily swinging her around.
After that, for about 19 years they have tried to find a teacher for her that may have the same abilities of old, but to no avail. They just hope that she will be ok and that nothing bad will happen to her. Sadly, when she had turned 20, he father had passed away, it brought much of her family grief, her sister so much she had to leave the island. She said it was to "clear her head and to learn more about her mother's side." She just hopes to see her sister at least one more time. That is her families story, now more to hers.
At 10 years old, she was walking across the shoreline of where her group was migrating to when she heard a soft whisper asking for help, she ran to it and found a woman, with her a very strange arm. Instead of screaming, she looked around and found a spiritual friend that would help her heal the lady up enough so she could survive, but she did not know how long she was face down for. When the lady came to, she had the brightest smile on her face,
and Krista knew she had to get this woman to safety. She later learned that her name was Samantha and that she liked to bake. She did find it strange that Sam would forget things once a week, but she had no issues writing things down that she felt was very important to Sam.
At 15, she was talking with her spectral friends when a spirit she had never met before came up to her and ask her for help, saying that they needed someone to come and save their friend. She did not hesitate to go with them, and asked said spirit to lend a hand. What Krista could only describe as a menacing grin came over their face and she felt a great sense of darkness, power, and hatred she had never felt before. She raised her hand to kill the spirit this, what she now calls, demon, wanted to "save", but was stopped as Sam came by to give her some of her fresh baked cookies and, being freaked out that her friend was not acting as herself, hit Krista with the basket she had, forcing the demon out and having Krista wake up a second later, crying and asking the spirit that was in danger to forgive her. Since then, she is very wary of who she trusts with helping her out and asks Sam to watch if her behavior changes.
Now that she is 22, she is, herself, trying to find out who she is and feels maybe it be best she stops wandering around where people, and spirits could easily manipulate her. She was thinking maybe the coast, it is very calming to her, and it reminds her of both her dad when he would train her to the best of his ability and when she found Sam.
