[ENROLLMENT] Callista the Nagual ~ accepted

[ATh e a r t]

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Callista Nerissa Snow
Nicknames: Callie. Only a few know her middle name.
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Faction: Monster
Race: Nagual

Natural Ability: Shape shifts into a rabbit/hare. Size is 7kg (equivalent to about 15lbs) about the size of an average cat.

Personality:
[Quick Minded] - From the first time she picked up a book, Callie's parents knew that their child had a knack for learning. She could read a book and as long as she understood what she read, she'd remember it. Her mind was quick to make connections from one piece of information to the next. It wasn't that her memory was good, per-se, but more so her mind made connection quick that helped her recall information. With this, she can also relay information and help others learn.

[Curious] - Always thriving for more information, Callie likes to poke her head into things. For the most part, she is just a fly on the wall, listening and just having the information in her head. She's not one to spread gossip, she just enjoys knowing. For those that would confide in her, she would very much like and keep secrets for others.

[Socially Awkward] - Since she was home schooled, Callie doesn't really know how to make friends. She know she'd do better around books, but since the main reason why she went to school in the first place was to make friends, she pushes herself out there. There's no way she'll start a verbal conversation, but instead Callie would smile and try to 'signal' a conversation that way.

[Klutz] - Callie is so busy learning and absorbing information that she somewhat fails to grasp what's around her. Whether it be while she walks and trips over something or bumps into something, Callie normally ends up with bumps and bruises. She really doesn't mind, however, and tries to look at the bright side of her injuries (whatever they may be -- it could be from the interesting shape or color to something like... enticed about the design of the pole she walked into).

Note the fact that although she has a good memory, she wouldn't use it on a normal basis against someone. It would only be if she were threatened and needed to get out of a tight situation.

Callie isn't as much a fighter as a tactical thinker.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Coming from a wealthy family, Callie was home schooled in her earlier years. In the beginning, her parents felt like only they could push Callie to her limits. They realized later that although Callie was bright, she was lacking in her 'street smart' skills.

Her parents came to her with this information and Callie willingly accepted what she was lacking and having a hard time grasping. Although scared, Callie went to school willingly.

Being at home, Callie lacked drive as well as friends. She read and took in what she wanted, but her parents, who were known for their shape shifting and time manipulation skills. Callie had the ability in her, just no way to pull out the need to harness them.

FEAR Ability: Swift Strikes - Speeds up Callista for a turn. Quick attacks can help wear down her enemy, though the extra edge may just give her the opening she needs to run...

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: black red blue...
Hair Colour/Style: sky blue and extra curly ouo!
Skin Colour: pale. Very pale.
Clothing Style/Colours: Lolita!
Extra: Bunny ears and tail (though not visible on art)

Hey! I really like her personality. I think the only crit I might have is to possibly relate her combat ability to a more monster like trait or perhaps her natural form? I do see you want her to be less physical of a brawler and more mentally focused, so I can see why you'd want a Mind/ magic oriented ability. I don't really think you need to change it that much, as it does seem to fit her bookish personality more than being a big slugger in battle. But if I can suggest some possibilities as alternatives?

Claws: she doesn't have to be strong or even very co-ordinated to use sharp bunny claws.

Shape shifting in battle: some kind of rabbit kick or slash? They actually have a very powerful hind leg kick that they can use defensively and some rabbits do box one another competively! this can tie in with clawed feet or hands in a lot of ways ^^

Speed: rather than a spell like ability, she could just have an innate speed ability that she uses in a fight. Rather than affecting her enemy, she could have this as a personal sprinting kind of ability? I am thinking very much of the white rabbit being too fast for anyone to catch up to when he's on a mad dash! She could totally use this defensively by blasting away from a confrontation that isn't going well! Rabbits are incredibly swift lil critters, so you wouldn't have to justify this one at all, I think! But it might make sense for her to shift her lower legs into rabbit hind legs when she really wants to zoom...

I really like how she sounds so far! I am a little curious about her family too, are they all rabbit shifters as well? You say they have help, are they wealthy? Since she's so well dressed I would assume so, but she could also just be bad with money and spend her allowance on shiny clothes and books!

Haha. I added some information to the 'why' part of the form in hopes of answering your questions.

I wouldn't mind the speed ability, but I was thinking that the time manipulation was in her lineage xD of course, I'm open to changing if it's not possible.

I think I also read somewhere that once she goes to year 2 she can get another skill? I wouldn't mind starting out with the speed and them gain her time manipulation ability xD

Thanks again for your help! I'm glad I got at least the basis of her down xD

Well, I added the partial part mostly because naguals are humans that can transform. Should I just handwave that bit? XD but yeah I don't mind getting rid of that bit at all :3

I wasn't thinking much for the time bit. More so like... A lapse in time? Hmm... Like she'd basically have a second to make one move and basically be over. So kinda more speed based? *bad at explaining*

And I edited the shape shifting part xD
