Character Information
✗—TERRITORY OF BIRTH: Maelstrom
✗—PERSONALITY:
Over a bullied past and a absence of her parents guidance, Edie has built a wall around herself. She often shuts out others, only focusing on herself and her own needs. The only people she'll really listen to are authority figures, but even then there's no level of a personal relationship. She has a drive to succeed, to be the best, and to be looked up to and respected. The pinkette is extremely detail oriented, and drives her actions based on logic. These qualities not only make her a bit of a perfectionist, but allow her to get things done quickly and efficiently. She's reliable in a sense that she'll finish any task assigned to her to the best to her ability, but this mostly constitutes homework and mission assignments.
Being the perfectionist that she is, Edie has quite the eye for aesthetic beauty and style. Not only does she want her work to be outstanding, but she wants it to look great too. She has twisted herself into being quite the designer, shown in the way she dresses and in the way she presents, well, everything she does. As much as she claws at the ladder of success, Edie is actually quite sure of herself. Confident and resilient, she always believes she knows the best way of going about things. She has faith in herself. Sure, this leads to a small amount of pride, but the pinkette is also very down to earth and doesn't often have her head in the clouds.
The girl needs to be on schedule and doesn't act impulsively. She can be quite strict with herself; no time for goofing around and not being productive. Edie obsesses over order and control, and when things are crazy and chaotic she just can't stand it. She'll often put herself in a leadership position because of this need for control, but she's not the best because she can't often connect with her teammates on an emotional level. Approching any problem in an analytical way, Edie is rarely swayed by emotions in her decision making. She's quite the independent thinker since she's not easily wedded into the preferences of others.
One may describe her as "guarded". Anyone that approaches her can be seen as a threat; her wall will just go up until they're gone and done with her. She keeps to herself, taking up her time with studying and reading. Edie doesn't easily trust anyone, not even the teachers really. The only person that will be looking out for her is herself, and she's learned to adapt to that. Priding herself on principles of order, with a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong, Edie will often place judgement upon others from afar. You may have never spoken to her, but she could have a whole file of opinions on you. She investigates the world through observation, and doesn't miss a thing, nor does she forget anything.
When forced into social situations, she stays efficient. She gets down to business, fulfills obligations, and gets out as soon as she can. The only people she really admires are people who have achieved a certain level of accomplishment, mostly people who have succeeded honestly. Cold, stoic, confident, and self-reliant, Edie wishes people were more like her. Be more respectful, more private, hinder their emotions, and stick to themselves.
✗—APPEARANCE:
When she was in middle school, Edie wasn't exactly popular. She had headgear braces that gave her a lisp, short stubby pigtails, and she even snorted a bit when she laughed. No one really paid attention to an awkward adolescent like that. However, fast forward a couple of years to see the ugly duckling blossomed into a beautiful swan, and she certainly catches her peers attention now. With porcelain skin and a statuesque figure, Edie looks as if she was carved from marble.
She looks almost soft in a way; creamy smooth skin and long wavy pink hair give off a dainty disposition. However there is a harshness in her sky blue eyes. They're always a bit cold and distant, leading people to back away from starting possible conversation. Her looks along with her demeanor strike some people as intimidating even. So she still seems to still be avoided just like in middle school.
Combat Information
✗—FIGHTING STYLE: (3 Maximum)
O SPELL CASTING - While not being physically strong, Edie is quite skilled when using magic. From using basic level bullet magic to moving on to more advanced techniques, she takes down her opponent usually by not even having to touch them. For this reason her combat tends to be more distanced, so she can avoid any hand-to-hand techniques. While she has memorized many spells, sometimes she does have to take out the book just to be sure.
O BAGUAZHANG - A form of martial arts which goes hand in hand with her avoidance technique. Baguazhang's movements employ the whole body with smooth coiling and uncoiling actions, utilizing hand techniques, dynamic footwork, and throws. Rapid-fire movements draw energy from the center of the abdomen. The circular stepping pattern also builds up centripetal force, allowing the practitioner to maneuver quickly around an opponent. The point of this practice is that when the user gets behind their opponent, they stay behind them. If needed this is paired with a few light striking movements mostly to confuse and stress the opponent, or even lock their joins, such as striking with the palm, fingers, fist, and elbow. Most Baguazhang users pair this technique with a large weapon, but Edie mostly sticks to a simple staff or branch if available since she can't really lift those heavier things.
O PRESSURE POINTS - In her studies, human anatomy didn't fail to seek her attention. Edie isn't very physically strong, so she was eventually attracted by the idea of what the chinese called "chi blocking", in which small jabs against pressure points can render a person's muscles useless. When close up, usually while she's using her Baguazhang practices, she'll use this technique to stun or paralyze her opponent. Just a few quick flicks to the right areas and they're done.
✗—INVENTORY:
O CADMAR SPELLBOOK - Her grandfathers spellbook, where he documented and organized everything he believed to be useful.

✗—NORMAL ABILITIES:
O SPELLS
- BULLET SPELL - One of the most simple forms of magic, where her opponent is sent shots compiled of air. If hit, it stings like a bullets impact, but since they're no break of skin the pain doesn't do much lethal damage. [damage: 2-4]
- HEALING SPELL - Raises HP and heals small wounds. [recovery: +3-5]
O STAFF SMACK - Where Edie manages to strike her opponent with her staff. [damage: 1-3]
O JAB - A quick strike of the palm or fingertips, usually done quickly proceeding several other strikes [damage: 1-2 each]
O PRESSURE POINT
Aiming jabs right, Edie can render an opponent's muscles useless and they could feel weak, numb, or even fall completely to the ground depending on how many pressure points she hits and how durable the opponent is.
- 5 HITS - five pressure points are struck [damage: 2-4]
- 10 HITS - ten pressure points are struck [damage: 5-7]

✗—CHARACTER BACKSTORY:
O Before the Academy: Edie's family was blessed with enormous wealth. Their family had used their powers to enhance their living situation even within wartime, while some may call them manipulative it was just their way of survival during the time. Her mother and father often worked, doing business across the lands, spending time away from their lavish home leaving their three daughters behind to play with each other. They were watched over by their grandparents and a few cleaning ladies, so they were never exactly lonely. However it did lead to a very boring and self-inserted childhood.
There was no where to go and no one to play with. Sure, they went to school, but it was hard to get permission to go play when their parents were never around. They mostly met other children at social events their parents put together; tea parties, meetings, brunches. Edie and her sisters were put in their nicest dresses and paraded as perfect little children of perfectly wonderful parents. But no, she wasn't exactly attached to them. She was more-so loved by her grandparents.
They practically raised her. But when she wasn't with them, she ran off on her own. In their large home the pinkette mostly played in the library, where she read shelves upon shelves of books in her spare time. She loved to study, she loved to know more and more. She ended up being the top of her class most years, as her thirst for knowledge showed clearly in the classroom setting. Edie studied everything, even subjects she didn't like, simply because she wanted to know more. This lead kids to envy her, either for her intelligence or her wealth, and she became a target of bullying.
Years of it made her tough. A little too tough, a little rough around the edges. She was beat up a few times even for being a smartass. Edie molded from a cute little girl into one with a hardened shell around her. She refused to trust other, and rarely let people in. She decided she really only needed her family, that's how she's lived so far anyway. The girl stuck by herself and her books and her sisters, and learned that she was more at peace that way.
She wasn't the only Virgo in the family, as her grandfather for who she was named for passed down his spellbooks to her when he thought the time was best. As in, when he saw her come home with bruises he thought she needed a little extra self defense. She dove right into them, memorizing what she could and practicing what she learned. The girl decided she liked feelings strong, and her innocent thirst for knowledge bloomed into a thirst for power. She joined the academy for this reason.
O After the Academy: Edie is one of the top students at the academy. She however is not the most popular. People seem to know who she is well enough, but no one seems to approach her. But that doesn't matter, it's lonely at the top, and who needs friends right?
