» Physical Appearance Description: Angeni has never particularly put much emphasis on physical appearance, though from an outside perspective she would be considered quite attractive. Being a born and raised native of the American Southwest, Angeni has a bronzed and defined skin tone. A healthy and controlled diet has kept her skin blemish-free and supple. A cascading river of alabaster locks traverse the length of her body, ending just past her waist.

Her eyes are wide and full of prophetic wisdom yet also convey a sense of wonder and adventurism. Shimmering jade with flecks of gold beneath thick ivory lashes center themselves between a rounded forehead and what could be considered a “cute button nose.” A watchful gaze, coupled with a kind and endearing softness can usually be seen present in her expression and tends to be the “default”. Her facial structure bears soft and delicate features, dimpled cheeks tapering along a feminine jawline and ending in a softly pointed chin. Full lips bearing a natural soft ruby hue complete a beautiful visage that portrays her “exotic” lineage.

Coupled with her closely upheld healthy diet and a daily regimen of exercising, Angeni boasts a lithe and athletic build. Toned muscle compose the graceful curves of her body, culminating in a physique often desired by many. Rather than bearing an overly buxom bust and wide hips, they are instead suitably sized and fit her anatomic structure perfectly. She is neither excessively tall nor short, but rather she stands at what could be considered average height for women her age. Neither does she bear excessive body fat, rather it is completely proportionate to the muscles that line her body.

Her movements are graceful and fluid in their execution, seemingly blending together without pause or fail. Occasionally she tends to adopt a partially bouncy step to her movements when she is in high spirits, which tends to be quite often. An aroma of lavender lingers upon her skin, due in part to the brand of body wash that she uses. An underlying scent of herbal incense mingles with the lavender, a subtle blend that is pleasing to the senses.

Angeni is, for lack of a better term, an incredibly outspoken yet patient young woman. It's not often that she raises her voice or becomes angry with others, instead exercising a zen-like patience with everyone she encounters. So when it does happen, chances are that someone or something has worn her monumental patience to its limit. Generally, she addresses everyone with respect and is apparently very trusting of anyone she meets, giving them the benefit of the doubt and even forgiving transgressions against herself and allies. Others have described her voice as being melodic in tone and soothing to those who hear it, carrying a maternal warmth and comforting that is capable of instilling serenity while also bolstering resolve.

Angeni’s sense of style can be seen as both traditional, paying homage to her tribal heritage, and also modern, blending modern style with Native American influence. On special occasions, however, she tends to wear the traditional mystic’s “uniform” of her lineage. Atop her head sits a feathered headdress, the plumage being ivory and scarlet in color. An ornamental clay mask acts as the linchpin for the headdress, accented by an adornment of polished metal that rests upon her forehead. Similar feather and clay adornments cover her right shoulder and forearm, though the forearm cover appears reminiscent of a clawed beast’s hand. Both aforementioned adornments, however, bear softly glowing glyphs that seem to correspond with Angeni’s spiritual power. A free-flowing halter top of beige cloth and a matching sari complete the outfit, complimented by the furred boots and wristband on her left wrist.

» Personality: Even at a young age, Angeni has always had a kind heart for others and sympathetic towards their plight. Whenever it is possible for her to do so, Angeni is quick to offer words of comfort and her assistance to those who are suffering around her. She does her best to ease the worries and pain of others, in turn leading her to have a great deal of allies.

Angeni is, as experienced by others, an incredibly giving person. She has no issue with doing whatever is in her capabilities to help someone less fortunate than herself. Even if they aren’t less fortunate than her, she is still willing to help them wholeheartedly to ensure that they have a pleasant experience in whatever they are doing. If she is able to do even the smallest thing for a person, she sees it as a great accomplishment.

Angeni has the astounding ability to see the good in any situation or person, regardless of any evidence to the contrary. She remains the beacon of hope for those around her, speaking inspiring words and bolstering resolve through kind actions towards them. She strives to be the one who keeps her allies uplifted and in good spirits and this definitely is the case more often than not. Her optimism has a habit of affecting the people around her and changing their outlook on situations as well.

From a young age, between being trained to hunt and receiving training in mysticism, Angeni has always been attentive to the people and environment around her. The subtle nuances of nature, facial expressions, even the whispers of spirits attempting to commune with the living; Additionally, thanks to a constant want for more knowledge and experiences, she is always looking for the next opportunity to experience something new or learn what was previously unknown.

Due in part to her own beliefs and also to her upbringing, Angeni treats everyone she encounters with the utmost respect. Even if she has become closely acquainted with them, she has a habit of still addressing them in a semi-formal manner. She firmly believes that respecting others shows good bearing on a person’s ancestors and family, thus she makes certain to always present herself in a respectable manner.

Among her family and friends and even apparent to those she has only just recently met, Angeni is known for being an incredibly patient young woman. Rarely, if ever, will she become angered or upset with others. She takes pride in seeing things through to the end, regardless of how long it may take. Though of course, because she constantly moves about and has an appetite for acquiring knowledge, her endeavors usually take a longer period of time than normal. Even still, she willingly proceeds forward when dealing with situations and people, offering an ever-present shoulder of support, as it were.

A constant quest for knowledge and understanding has resulted in Angeni developing a wisdom that others have stated transcends her age. Clever and quick-witted, prophetic and wise; all of these have been used to describe Angeni. She is more than willing to share any knowledge that she has with any who are willing to learn as much as she is, often acting as a teacher of sorts to those around her. “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.” - Angeni tends to follow this quote rather closely, and it frequently shows in her actions.

Although usually an incredibly calm individual, Angeni is capable of holding a grudge for an indefinite amount of time. It generally takes quite a bit to actually get her annoyed or angry enough to actually dislike someone, but when it happens it becomes blatantly obvious in her interactions with that person. In most cases it will manifest in disregard for their presence or snide remarks. However in the off chance that she really begins to despise someone that has slighted her she will have no issue with plotting bodily harm against them and even less with actually carrying it out.

To be dominant is the assertion of control and/or establishing a sense of leadership when the situation calls for it. This is one of Angeni's most definitive aspects of her personality. When in combat or even during her day to day life, Angeni makes it a point to assert herself and plays herself in a position to lead others. It is exceedingly more prevalent with her personal relationships. In a romantic sense, she tends to enjoy being the one in control of the relationship, often being the initiator in every aspect and in generally every case refusing to relent said control.

» History

On a pleasant winter evening beneath a clear and starry sky, Angeni was born from the union of Cheveyo and Luyu Nascha. Already gifted with a capable hunter and warrior in the form of their eldest son Chayton, the proud parents were ecstatic when they were blessed with a beautiful and healthy baby girl. Their settlement was alive with chatter over the girl’s birth. Whispers of good fortune and a prosperous future were foretold for the child, it wasn’t often that a child was born with such a pleasant smile upon their face.

It was fairly common for neighbors to be present at the births of new children, and Angeni’s birth was no exception. It seemed even the spirits had been in favor of Angeni’s birth, as several of the elders of their settlement claimed to have felt a certain divinity and mysticism about the child. With this knowledge in mind, the new parents were approached with the suggestion that when the child came of age, she was trained to become a mystic herself. There was some apprehension, as expected, but the parents ultimately agreed to the elders’ request.

Angeni’s infancy and childhood were a pleasant one. Although she was quite often doted upon by her parents, they made sure not to allow her to become too dependent on such things. Instead, they found a proper balance that allowed her to know that not everything would be given to her without suitable hard work. She was an incredibly sweet and playful little girl, becoming well-liked by both the other children as well as the adults.

Because of her caring nature and childish naivety, her elder brother did what most any older brother would do and kept a protective watch over Angeni. Initially she was oblivious as to the reasoning behind Chayton’s protectiveness over her, though eventually her father explained it to her and she happily accepted her brother’s concern over her. During her elementary school years, it became apparent that Angeni was not only a well-liked child, but also incredibly bright. By the end of her 8th grade year, she had also began to show a knack for herbology and medicinal remedies.

As time continued to pass, Angeni began to blossom into a beautiful young woman. On the day of her sixteenth birthday, Angeni had began her training to become a medicine woman. There was some speculation about how she would be able to balance said training and high school, but Angeni quickly quelled those concerns through her actions. Not only did she still manage to properly train as a medicine woman, but she also excelled in her studies, maintaining her position on the honor roll consistently throughout her high school career. Within two years time, Angeni had established herself among the more skilled herbology and medicinal remedy practitioners in the settlement.

It was no surprise that she had also become quite a popular young woman among the younger males of her peer group, much to Chayton’s chagrin. Because of this, Chayton had began to teach Angeni how to properly defend herself. She was grateful for the time they spent together and even more appreciative of the lessons she received….even if she secretly had no intention of using the knowledge she was receiving. Even still, she managed to keep a good balance of schooling, training, and a social life.

Upon the conclusion of her senior year in high school, Angeni began to exhibit signs of being spiritually aware. On many occasions either her parents or Chayton would witness her communing with unseen conversation partners or chanting meditatively. It wasn’t until one of the elders witnessed this for himself, however, that it was suggested that Angeni compound her medicine woman training by training to become a mystic as well. Always willing to learn more, Angeni immediately agreed.

As Angeni began her mystic’s training, it seemed that her brother Chayton had chosen a much different path. There was no question that he remained kind and loyal to his people, but Angeni began to notice a certain hostility towards those he considered foreigners. Whereas Angeni was more likely to use kindness and words to solve situations, Chayton leaned more towards violence. Naturally, this extreme divergence between their ideals caused friction in the sibling’s relationship. Regardless of how zealous Chayton was in his actions, however, Angeni remained hopeful that he would change and still loved her elder brother dearly.

Just one year had passed since Angeni began her mysticism training, and already she had shown signs of advancing rapidly. It was also around this time that her brother had left the reservation on what he had simply called “personal business.” It seemed that only Angeni worried for her brother’s safety, as their parents hadn’t even bothered to bid him farewell. She did not allow herself to be distracted from her training, instead focusing even more on succeeding so that she would be able to aid her brother.

Unfortunately, that day would never come...at least while Chayton was among the living. During one of her now commonplace moments of meditation, she was visited by the spirit of her brother. Naively believing that she was awake and he had returned, She reached out to hug him, only to find that not only could she not actually move, but that he had not returned in the capacity that she had hoped.

Listening on in dismay, Angeni learned that Chayton had met his end during his trip at the hands of someone he had wronged over the years. A deserving victim of revenge, as he put it. The news of his death devastated Angeni. He apologized for leaving her and promised that he would continue to watch over her as best as he could, but she knew that it would be unlikely in his current state. Distraught and unsure of what she could do, she consulted the reservation elders. The elders were adamant in telling Angeni that nothing could be done for Chayton, but she continued to insist that they try.

When no solution was reached, Angeni was once more consumed by depression. It was during this time that she was visited by a mysterious spirit. Identifying themselves only as a soul that "transcended the bounds of time and understanding", the spirit informed her that reuniting with her brother would be possible if she awakened the even greater power that lay untapped within her.

Eager to be reunited with her brother, she questioned how she could access this power. The spirit cryptically told her to walk the path chosen for her by destiny, vanishing immediately after and leaving the bewildered young woman with more questions than answers. With no other recourse, Angeni chose to devote her efforts towards strengthening her spiritual abilities and seeking out the mysterious figure to receive the answers she sought.

-Glaive of the Earthmother



» Skills:

• Expert Herbologist- From adolescence until recent years, Angeni has been extensively trained in the practice of herbology. Groomed to become an accomplished medicine woman, Angeni is versed in a multitude of plant life and their usage in medicinal healing. To a more harmful degree, she is also versed in how to use certain plants to produce harmful effects. From a simple glance, Angeni is able to determine the properties and name of a type of flora as well as its natural habitat.
  
  By understanding these various aspects of the plantlife she utilizes, she can determine how best to enhance the desired property of an individual plant. For example, if a plant has a property that makes it useful in soothing a skin irritation yet another has a property that would exacerbate it, Angeni is able mix the two in a way that the medicinal property will be the dominant trait. Adversely, she is also able to do the same in a way that the irritant will be dominant instead. Even from the most mundane and common of flora, Angeni is able to find some kind of property that can be utilized for her needs.
  
  Much like how she is versed in medical uses of plant life, Angeni can also utilize them to lethal and debilitative effect. By identifying and isolating the desired properties of harmful plants, she can produce poisons with varying effects depending on the situation they are suited for. Whether medicinal or harmful, Angeni’s knowledge in this subject is so comprehensive that she is able to grow certain plants outside of their natural environment, a feat that is not easily accomplished.
  
  
• Expert Hunter/Tracker- A more or less common practice, Angeni is quite the capable hunter and tracker in her own right. She is versed enough to be able to track a target with relative ease. This ability has come in handy on many occasions, though she tends to only do it now out of habit and to keep her skills sharp in the chance that she may need them.Regardless of how far the target has traveled, Angeni is capable of identifying details about their path. An example of this would be identifying a target’s gait from the frequency and depth of the footprint and therefore determining how quickly they are moving. Even if the trail has seemingly “gone cold”, Angeni is able to pick up on small details and changes to the area that allows her to resume pursuit of the target(s). Her tracking abilities are so honed that she can even recreate the events that have transpired at a location mentally to better identify the target(s) she is tracking. Coupled with an indomitable will and endurance, it is more than possible for her to track a single target or multiple targets for extended periods of time.
  
  
• Expert Mystic- Mysticism comes in a variety of practices and methods. In Angeni’s case, she is versed in the practices of Native American mysticism; the belief that the living world and the spirit world exist as layers of each other that are accessed through varying degrees of reality perception. As it stands, this practice is what has allowed Angeni to be able to interact with the spiritual world that is home to the likes of beings such as the Shinigami and their mortal enemies the Hollow. Additionally, it seems that the bestial spirits of her ancestors and the guardians thereof also exist within this world, thus resulting in Angeni wanting a deeper understanding of this world and any others that may exist with and alongside it.
  
  
• Multilingual- Aside from learning English and the tribal dialects of her people from birth, Angeni has further expanded her linguistic abilities to encompass more languages that she encounters during her travels. Currently, she is adequately capable of speaking Spanish, Japanese, and German. By no means is she done, however, as she hopes to reach fluency not only in the languages she already speaks, but those that she has yet to begin learning.
  
  
• Adept Combatant (CQC/Armed)- Although she takes measures not to have to utilize it, Angeni is trained in the close quarters combat tactics used by the members of her tribe. Learned under the mentorship of her elder brother Chayton, she has a passable proficiency to be able to protect herself if necessary. Upon venturing out on her own, she further expanded her abilities with hand-to-hand combat and began to train in the martial arts and weapon practices native to the regions she traveled through on her quest for knowledge.
  
  
• Advanced Medical Training- Alongside her training in herbology, Angeni has also received medical training from varying sources. While certainly not as skilled as someone who had devoted more significant time to education in that specific field, she is more than capable of treating injuries and performing surgeries of varying severity.
  
  
• Enhanced Condition- To put it simply, Angeni is capable of physical and mental feats well above what would be possible for most humans.
  
  ~Heightened Spiritual Senses- Due in equal parts to her spiritual abilities and her training as a mystic, Angeni has an incredibly acute sense of the spiritual world around her. Whether it be sensing the presence of a spirit nearby or seeing through their "glamour haze" to glimpse their true nature, Angeni boasts remarkable sensory capabilities. Her spiritual sensory is so acute that she is able to easily pinpoint changes in a person’s spiritual energy.
  
  Furthermore, simply by reading a person’s spiritual energy, she can detect fluctuations in their emotions even if they are actively hiding said emotions. In most cases, only those with a significant amount of spiritual power can elude her sensory, but even then it would not be done without difficulty on their end. One of the most unique abilities that she has developed through her sensory is the ability to peer into the past memories of a soul, even being able to act as a medium to allow the memories to be viewed or transferred between others.
  
  ~Heightened Immune System- Entirely a result of her nature as a spiritually gifted mortal, Angeni has what could be considered a "supercharged" immune system. Because of this, it is extremely difficult for her to contract ailments and diseases that would usually afflict humans. From something as benign as a common cold to succumbing to the effects of inebriation, she considers herself lucky to have such a gift.
  
  ~Heightened Physical Prowess- To put it simply, Angeni is capable of physical feats well above what would be possible for most humans.
  ~Strength- While not reaching into the realm of being supernatural, it can easily be considered superhuman in nature. With only a partial exertion of force, she is capable of breaking stone/concrete, bending metal, and even lifting up to two hundred pounds with a single hand. If she exerts her full strength, with enough effort it's possible for her to punch through a steel door or objects of similar density.
  ~Speed- As with her strength, Angeni's natural speed borders on the supernatural. By comparison, Angeni is able to cover the distance from one end of a city block to the next, in a half sprint, in just a matter of seconds. At full speed, she can quite easily cover twice that distance. Her agility is just as impressive. She is capable of acrobatic feats and movements with a dancer's grace, maneuvering around the battlefield much quicker than what should be possible for humans.
  ~Endurance- Honed by years of physical training and bolstered by her spiritual capabilities, Angeni can operate at "peak" performance levels well past the limits of average humans and even those who have specifically trained to perform at such levels in a professional capacity. This also allows her to withstand environmental locations that would otherwise be strenuous for normal humans.
  
  ~Heightened Mental Prowess- A constant thirst for knowledge has its perks. Even since her younger years, Angeni has always exhibited impressive mental acuity. Able to grasp complex teachings much sooner than those her own age and even some older than her, she was often the one others turned to for assistance. Angeni is capable of retaining information to an incredible degree, effortlessly remembering things she has learned as far back as early adolescence. Over the years her mental prowess only continued to increase. She has, on several occasions, shown the ability to identify, process, and resolve problems near instantaneously. This is not limited to a single instance at a time, as Angeni is capable of analyzing multiple complexities at the same time, even delegating which are most important in the midst of said analyzation and adapting for any sudden changes mere moments after they have occurred.
