Name: Holly
Nickname (optional): Prickles
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Position: Plant Witch Apprentice of the Green Tower
Spell(s):Cura: The second level of Cure, allowing more potent healing. Able to heal recent damage to soft tissue, though will not heal bones. Cool down five posts.
Vines: The small flower on her hand grows three 10-foot long vines, which can be used to whip her foes. The vines will stay for up to three rounds, after which they wilt off. Three post cool down.
Grow Seed: Holly tosses a seed, and then commands it to grow. She can grow three types of plants: tangle weeds, which grab the foe and hold them in place for two posts; grand Venus peopletraps, which will chase after foes for two posts, running on their roots, attempting to chomp the enemy; and heal bells, which are the plant Cure is based on, which will heal anyone within reach up to three times. No cool down, seed limit, 4 each of tangle weeds and Venus flytraps, two heal bells. Seeds refreshed between threads.
Leaf Storm: The small flower grows many leaves, shedding them as soon as they are grown. Up to forty leaves can be grown. The leaves are shaped like boomerangs, are two inches long, are stiff, and have razor edges. They float near her hand until she uses them. Once Holly has all the leaves she wants, she flings her hand out, pointing at her target. The leaves fly out, spinning like saws, in a straight line at where she points. A foe hit by every single leaf will sustain moderate slashing damage. Three post cool down.
Photosynthesis: The small flower on Holly’s hand, which has spread a network of roots throughout her body, grows many more flowers across her entire body, which then set the work absorbing all the light they can. They then use the light absorbed to heal Holly. This does not hurt Holly in the least, nor does it damage her clothes. The power of this spell is directly proportional to the amount of light in a given area. Three post cool down.
Control Plants: She doesn’t exercise this very often, but she can use plants besides her little flower to attack, able to use those foreign plants in almost all of her spells. (Limited to her own spells.)
Limit Breaks
Petal Dance: Calling upon the powers of nature, the small flower on her hand begins growing and shedding petals at a fast rate. The petals become hard, and gather around Holly’s body, floating and dancing on a nonexistent wind. Holly closes her eyes for a moment, calling the petals to her will, and then begins the attack her foe with her hands, in a complicated dance-like combo. The petals follow in her hands’ wake, slicing like scythe blades. Holly moves very quickly in this attack, and if one attack gets through her foe’s defense, then so will all that follow. Two post use, once per thread.
Thorn Body: Reacting to Holly’s anger, the flower on her hand activates its root system, and grows thorns all over her body. This does not hurt Holly in the least, nor does it damage her clothes. She can then attack without fear, as the thorns block most impacts. The thorns are poisonous, and the poison is fast acting, though not fatal, causing debilitating pain for about a minute. Two post use, once per thread.
[Holly can use either Petal Dance or Thorn Body in a single thread, but not both.]
Mad Growth: Holly’s ultimate attack. Holly places her right hand in the ground, and the flower on her hand spreads it’s roots through her palm into the ground. They grow very quickly, into a circle 10 feet in diameter. Once the roots have finished spreading, a field of thorn-covered vines shoots up from the ground, viciously attacking all within range. The vine last for only one post, and wither at the beginning of the next. One post charge (for the roots to spread), two post use (withers at beginning of second post), once per thread. This attack is an attack of desperation, causing her to become weak and even fall unconscious, not to mention the strain it places on her little flower.
Weapon(s):Flower Wand: Despite the name, the Flower Wand is less of magic channeling device and more of a club. The wand has a three-foot green shaft, with a closed pink flower at the head, and a small brown seed at the base. The flower opens during Holly’s Limit Breaks, but that’s about all it does. When not in use, she slips it through her belt.
Picture(optional): Appearance:Holly, being a young teenage girl, is pretty short, standing at only five feet tall. She is also thin, weighing about 110 pounds. The most striking thing about her is the green. Green clothes, green hair, even her weapon is partially green. If you get past the green, you’ll notice other things, like the mischievous grin, the glasses, and the… flower growing out of the back of her hand? No, you’re not seeing things. There is indeed a flower growing from her hand, and this flower is the source of most of her magic. There is also a pink flower behind her ear, but that is just decoration. Holly wears a leaf-green, long-sleeve, ankle-length robe with a bark-brown belt, and grass-green slippers with rubber soles. She keeps her hair in tails. Also, her hair is green become of the magic flower on her hand, which replaced her hair’s pigment with chlorophyll.
Magic Flower: The magic flower is an odd enough object that it requires it’s own section. In the wild, the flower is actually a predatory parasite, dropping seeds onto animals which take root under their skin, and slowly drain the life out of them. However, in the Green Tower of the Magician’s castle, the flower is cultivated in such a way that it boosts the magic of all Nature magic users. Instead of feeding relentlessly on it’s host, it only siphons off what energy it needs to live. As a repayment, it uses it’s root system, which grows under the host’s skin like tiny strings, tapping veins and arteries at strategic intervals (where it draws in the blood carrying CO2, and supplies them with oxygen), to assist with spells. Thus, a parasite becomes a symbiot.
Personality: Holly is a cheerful, happy-go-lucky, intelligent girl of humble stock. That last bit is important, because otherwise she would be something of a haughty bitch. She is kind to the down trodden because she was once one of their number. She is a normally gentle girl, but she also understands that combat has it’s place. In a fight, she suppresses her gentle demeanor, and becomes cold and unfeeling, because she understands very well the concept of her or them. She is friendly with everyone, until someone proves himself or herself unworthy. She does not, however, like jerks, or emos, and tries to avoid them, mostly because they make her unhappy. In conversations, she is quick to laugh, and joke, and is a grand listener, loving long stories, epic tales, and romances. She likes being happy, but is easily upset, and will cry, sometimes for no good reason, at least, that anyone else can see. Of course, she’ll also cry to throw off opponents, so that she can crack them upside the head when they get close. She is loyal and dependable, always willing to help a friend, or stranger, in need. She is incapable of hatred, being simply too sweet to pull it off. She has experience with both Heartless and Nobodies, and pities them both, the Heartless cause they do not know any better, and the Nobodies for their emptiness, although she has never heard of Human forms. Holly is helplessly romantic, and gets crushes easily. When she has a crush on someone she becomes shy and nervous, blushing at the most innocent comment, and generally making a fool of herself. She’s a bit of a people pleaser, always looking for little ways to make the ones around her happy. She loves to sing, and loves karaoke joints. She is very good at it too, often winning contests. She has a great memory for lyrics, and can pick out the words of any song, no matter how fast they are sung, and loud the music. However, good as she is at singing, she sucks with absolutely every musical instrument.
Home: The Green Tower in the Magician’s Castle.
Current Residing World: Twilight Town
History/Background: A long time ago, some guy with a long beard made a prophecy. No one remembers his name, and because he made many prophecies, most of which no one understood, not many people actually care. This specific prophecy was clear enough in that it predicted the end of the world, but there were so many doomsday prophecies that no one took this one seriously. The prophecy is as follows:
And, lo, a child will be born, a plant witch with green hair, and she will destroy this world in darkness, then bring light forth and save it.
Of course, it’s the unwatched dog that’ll sink it’s teeth in, and this one prophecy came true. A child was born. She was named Holly. At the time, her hair was brown, so no one thought anything of it. As a child she was always looking for the next fun thing to do. Climbing trees, swimming in the river, exploring the little cave by her home, these were all things she loved to do. Her life changed when her powers manifested. She of course, didn’t see anything wrong with what she did, but when she made an acorn put twenty years of growth into one afternoon, so that she could see it all grown up, her parents contacted the Magician’s Castle to tell them she was a plant witch. The child went with the man who came for her, but not before growing the grass around her parent’s house up six feet tall in a temper tantrum. As the traveled, she received lessons in culture and manners, because Apprentices were expected to maintain a certain level of decorum. This only made Holly rebellious and surly, and it was with gladness that her escort surrendered her to the castle authority. She was placed with a master Plant Witch, a pretty 20 something named Lillian. Lillian trained Holly to master her art for five years. At that point, she was of age to receive a magic flower for herself. The ceremony scared poor Holly, and the flower hurt her at first, but that night, as she slept, the flower was able to speak to her dreams using her magic, and the two bonded. For the next five years, Holly trained herself in her craft, going on missions, and helping folk with her powers. In this time, she had many crushes, but little chance to act on them, since most of the people in the Green tower were female, and those who weren’t were spoken for. Now earlier, I mentioned she had experience with both the heartless and Nobodies. That experience stems from the fact that she accidentally summoned them to her world. She had no idea that she did it, since all she did was let a poor little yellow eyed black animal out of a cruel cage. After all, it was so cute. In doing so, she fulfilled the first part of a prophecy that she had no idea even existed. It took them a few years, but the Heartless were able to take the Heart of the World. And Holly was sent spiraling out into the universe, only to land on that world between Darkness and light, Twilight Town…
