Name: Kamali Blacke
Nicknames: Piper is her public name. Other nicknames include Pipit or Pip (usually by family) and Afroqueen (Kettil)
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Faction: Reaper
Race: Elemental Mage (general)
Currently capable of water, fire, ice, and wind and struggling with earth and lightning at Y1. Later years will allow her to access other elements such as shadow, though it will require training.
Natural Ability: Elemental Summon
Piper can create creatures from mastered elements for a short period of time. These are typically birds since they are her favorite (owls being the most familiar species due to growing up in a mostly Muut family), but she can also do other small creatures with more difficulty: the range being the palm of her hand to a little over half her arm in size at Y1. Several small animals can be created for 5 min at a time, or a medium one can be called for about a minute.
Personality:
Energetic + Active
Piper is a ghoul who’s all over the place and terribly active: something of hers is always moving, be it her feet or her mouth. She’s typically brimming with excitement, anxiety, or general happiness, exerting her extroverted personality in the form of a buoyant, if sometimes overbearing reaper. It’s not uncommon to see her working out, dancing, battling, or participating in a sport – anything to be outside!
Maternal + Somewhat Tomboy
Piper likes to socialize and that often means grabbing people or forcing herself into others’ social circles with the elegance of a bull in a china shop. Among friends she likes to assume the motherly role of looking after them, regardless of age or class rank. She flip flops between coddling and tough love, but more often than not roughhouses as part of her personal way to show affection. Having been raised in a family who lived in the woods, Piper is also more than happy to get dirty if needed. Hunting, fishing, bird watching, flower planting, sports playing – she loves doing it all! Growing up with older brothers also helped toughen her out, though it also landed her with something of a competitive streak (especially when it comes to magic).
Assertive + Mercurial
This ghoul knows what she wants 99% of the time and will find a way to get to it (or carve one if needed). If she’s got a problem with someone? She’ll tell them straight up what’s the beef. Part of the tough love trait is being blunt, especially when withholding information can cause someone harm. While sometimes white lies are employed, Piper prefers to just let the truth be out in the open so that wounds can’t fester. On the other hand, it doesn’t stop her from being a bit impish now and then; she’s still just a teen ghoul who wants to have fun! Being close to multiple elements doesn’t help an already hormonally charged mood either . . . She can and probably will be bratty if it suits her.
Inner Insecurity
As a mage with no specialty, she’s blessed with the ability to cast multiple types of spells. On the other hand, Piper is afraid that being a jack of all trades means she’ll never be able to compete with other reapers her age, especially those who have taken on a particular element. It’s developed into a chip on her shoulder that nags and pains her with doubt, having been a late bloomer when it came for her first weapon summoning. Pressing this particular button on her ego is sure to cause backlash.
Temper, Temper
Despite Piper’s genuine efforts to be a momma figure, she has an unfortunately easy to trigger temper. For the most part it’s harmless: teenage rebellion for the sake of being rebellious, mouthing off, the general “Shut up I do what I want”. If pressed too hard, however, she can get a little . . . turbulent. It’s her weak point that she can turn spicy or sweet at the drop of a hat, especially with an ego that has the skin of a pear: easily bruised with one wrong move.
Aspiring Music Artist
Singing in the shower, vocalizing to her hairbrush, whistling as she worked - Piper's love of music follows her everywhere. The only instrument she knows how to play is the ukelele, but that doesn't stop her from doing pop songs wherever she goes. The ghoul's caught between the dreams of being a famous pop singer and being a teacher - but who says you can't have both?
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
With the eldest sister mysteriously gone, the family has been looking out for their remaining children. Having heard about Amity from other family members, they decided to plop Piper in with the hopes that she will grow to be more proud and in control of her Fear (being something of a late bloomer and all). Piper herself has been interested ever since she heard her cousin Kettil was enrolled and wants to be part of the adventure!
FEAR Ability: Elemental Aegis (Barrier)
Creates a wall of solidified magic, typically composing of this element or that or all of the everything to protect from attacks.
