Appearance
Age: 16 years old; Unknown to her.
Height and Build: 5'3" (162 cm), with a petite wiry frame that suggests endurance despite her diminutive size.
Hair: Fiery red, long, and slightly unkempt, most of the time concealed under a dark hooded cloak.
Eyes: Piercing gold, sharp, and discerning, an immediate attention drawer.
Skin: Pale and pearly, almost glowing in moonlight, contrasted against dark garb.
Garb: Wears a tattered hooded mantle, simple leather boots, and gloves fabric stitched with intricate runes. Under the mantle, her garment is serviceable but practical: a dark tunic and leggings suited to stealth and survival.
Personality
Mental Fortitude: Sora is a young lady with an unbreakable will, tempered by constant trials. Every fall and every betrayal gets her up again-learning from them and adapting-shouldering the load in quiet resolve toward her impossible-seeming goals.
Core Traits:
Resilient: She takes every fall as an opportunity to grow back stronger.
Cunning means quick-witted, resourceful, calculating, and normally using brains instead of brawn.
Compassionate Core: Beneath the chill exterior, she values the lives of her flying companions and the people she has declared to be her allies.
Powers
Control Over Birds
Communication with Birds: Sora can communicate with birds on a basic, telepathic level. This ability is more of a subtle connection, where she can project her thoughts and emotions toward the birds, causing them to respond to her intent. Her bond is strongest with ravens, as they seem drawn to her, and she can ask them to perform simple tasks like gathering objects or distracting enemies.
Limited Manipulation: While she can communicate and influence a few birds, her power to command them is still developing. The birds are not under her full control, but they might help her in moments of need, like retrieving keys or creating distractions. The strength of this bond depends on her emotional state, and the more focused or desperate she becomes, the more effective the birds are in their responses.
Enhanced Durability and Senses
Physical Resilience: Sora's body is more durable than an average human's, allowing her to withstand harsher conditions. This includes enduring extreme temperatures and more physical punishment than a normal person could handle. However, her ability to heal from injuries is not instantaneous and requires time and rest.
Heightened Awareness: Sora's senses are sharper than average. She can detect subtle changes in her environment, such as the faintest sounds or scents, which helps her in stealth or combat situations. Her vision is particularly acute, allowing her to see clearly in low light or far distances. This heightened awareness is a byproduct of her connection to her powers, giving her an edge in survival situations.
