Radley
There was once a family that tried to have children, but every venue they explored failed them. The couple soon found out that there was no possible way they could ever have children, so they fell to adopting a child. The child became an instant love in the family, taken in and well cared for.
The first thing Radley fell in love with when she was a child was her papa’s fedora. She loved all kinds of hats and grew to collect them, but her ultimate favorite was the fedora her papa gave her, which she grew into and wears still to this day. Her papa found it so humorous that he gave her the nickname of 'fedora'.
The second thing was fairy tales. It didn’t matter what kind of fairy tales they were, or the fact that some resulted in bloody ends - what fascinated her was the ability to escape from the mundane real world and become a knight in shining armor in her own mind. She was able to fight the things that weren’t there, able to cope with them in her imaginary world and relate to the heroes in the stories she so treasured.
Even despite having a normal childhood growing up, Radley began to understand that she was seeing things at the edges of her vision, things that no one else could see. She didn’t have many friends, but those that remained around her wrote it off as a twitch that she just developed over time.
It wasn’t long before she asked for a nightlight to sleep by, shaking under the covers until daytime when exhaustion finally took over her fear of terrors under the bed. Even despite discovering that some things were akin to the stories in her fairy tale books, they were the only solace she confided in - believing that somewhere, some way, there were real heroes out there fighting the evils in the real world just like the fairy tale books. Those thoughts kept the darkness at bay, and kept her believing in the light.
Despite her constant hope, things became progressively worse throughout the years and she was soon left behind by what little friends she had, simply because they saw her as one who refused to grow up. She denied it, believing that they were always watched, but she was the only one who could really feel it. Radley knew that others believed she was crazy, and she was forced to keep her opinions to herself in order to keep those who were left.
Her 'friends' attempted to get her head out of the fairy tale books, introducing her to more 'mainstream' things like comic books. She found a love with a few superheroes, but the only thing that kept her going was to keep collecting fairy tale books, and reading through them in an attempt to find out more about the world around her... the world she didn’t quite grasp and couldn’t quite see, wanting so desperately to be the hero she so admired in her books.
But there was another part of her that not only wanted to be a knight in shining armor... but a superhero, as well. Maybe then, just then, she could actually make a difference.
- Radley believes that everyone has a little bit of good in them, and will give people the benefit of the doubt. Even if her friends tolerated her, she’d believe that they are still very good friends, refusing to believe the worst of someone because of her optimism.
- She is ultimately naive about how the real world works. She was sheltered and taken care of most of her life, and is rather inept at what makes people tick, as well as not realizing if she says something wrong.
- Despite being naive, Radley was taught at an early age to watch people’s reactions and calculate them from her papa, thinking over scenarios in her head. Often times her and her papa would play games, pointing at people and trying to figure out what kind of life they lived, as well as what they were doing there. They enjoyed this game immensely, even if they did get it wrong - it was simply fun to try to guess what people were like.
- Radley is very emotional, thinking with her feelings instead of acting rationally. Emotions fuel her and guide her decisions, even if they’d put her into danger. For example, if a friend or companion was in trouble, she’d jump in if it meant risking herself, if there was any chance (or none at all) to save someone.
- Fairy tail books and a select few comic books are Radley's treasures. She won't be keen on sharing them unless it's someone she inexplicably trusts, but even then... she'll be wary of lending them out.
Radley
Eilissandra is a spidren-type monster, choosing more often than not to speak in rhyme and riddles, despite how Radley takes it. Eilissandra thinks with reason and is meticulous about taking action, often times attempting to get Radley to not dive headfirst into things without thinking. Unfortunately her Hunter often times overrules her decisions, which makes Eilissandra disappointed in her, though she tries to get Radley to reel back.
In life, Eilissandra loved to toy with others' lives, pushing others to see what they did. Everyone was predictable, and over time she grew bored with the same antics despite different variables. The spidren joined the Hunters for a different flavor of things, and found Radley interesting for a human, though for the life of her she cannot figure out why Radley holds others in such high esteem despite all the darkness they show.
Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter? For some reason or another, Radley's parents died in their sleep. It was looked into and written off as a heart attack, but deep down she knew that it was something else that had killed them. Why else would they die in their sleep -- AT THE SAME TIME -- looking like they had been scared to death?
She hadn't even gotten to say goodbye.
Left alone in the world without anyone to lean on, Radley realized that the only way she was going to get answers was to look for them herself. She took what little things she treasured, stuffing them into a duffel bag and setting out into the world to figure things out on her own.
There was a stranger that offered to take her to a place that was far away, someplace where the creatures that lurked in her vision wouldn't be able to exist.
She accepted.
(Taking Radley from the first Hunter Meta Event. <3)
Weapon Ability
Web of Wounding: Radley is able to use her bow to shoot up to three arrows to slow her enemy. (While a monster, Eillissandra was able to create webs to catch and hinder her prey. Was thinking of either having the arrow hit something and slow it, or creating a web where it hits~)
This will work as the ability Headlights.
Headlights
Known simply as "Headlights," this technique was discovered soon after automobiles were developed in the Human World. When these strange devices were first encountered, the nameless Halloweener was transfixed. What was that bright light coming at them from the darkness? That strange, beep beep sound? After discovering how painful these new horseless carriages were, this technique was developed to instill the same sense of confusion and transfixation that makes a Halloweener forget where they were and what they were doing, effectively making them skip their turn in battle.
