Basics

Birth Name: Incantem, Melodia Fa
Name: Sona Buvelle
Appearance Age: Early to mid twenties
True Age: 300
Gender: Female

General Appearance

Appearance: Sona is a beautiful, delicate looking girl. She has fair skin, and a gentle shape, her bone structure almost like a bird's. She seems to be very fragile, as she is very thin in nature, and yet she has a sort of womanly charm. Her breasts are actually quite large for her height and weight, and it seems almost weird, but she doesn't really care. They're around double D, if someone needs to know. Her clothing is always flowing, and her movements match that. There is a sort of aloof elegance to her movements, as her eyes seem to reflect her emotions easily. Although she seems to be apathetic very often, she seems to have expressions as well. She stands at about 5'5, and just has a sort of presence to her ; where she goes, heads turn.

Animalistic Traits: Sona doesn't really have animal traits that are visible, apart from the division of color in her hair. This was gained by her intense bond with Etwahl, and it seems to shimmer like the instrument. Most seem to thing this is the animalistic trait, when in fact, it's actually in her structure. She is very light and airy, and her bones are semi-hollow. Her movements seem to flow through the air, as if wind resistance didn't matter, much like a bird.

Personality: The most, and prevalent fact about Sona is the fact that she is mute. This has been a hard challenge for her, but with a will that refuses to bow down, she overcomes that defiency. She is a very kind girl, as long as nobody frustrates her. Although she may not be able to speak, she still carries a strong personality with her movements and gestures. She doesn't often give up on something she wants, and works very hard to obtain the things she does have. In general, Sona prefers to quietly abstain from social interactions, finding the speechless barrier a bit troublesome at times. The girl is indeed smart, as she was capable of easily breaking down an ancient communication code in order to speak to people. She also refuses to communicate via writing, thinking of it as sort of degrading. She can easily be seen as prideful, as Sona will hold her ground against anyone that insults her, Etwahl and even music in general. A bit domineering, she likes to be in control of things and to organize them efficiently. She never wastes precious time, and although she is an artist, seems to have a good handle on the laziness factor. Seeing Sona slack off is about as rare as actually catching a good yordle. Sona is always doing something ; if it's plucking at Etwahl for ambient music, or travelling somewhere, or straighten up papers, she's doing it. Sona dislikes to be still, and always finds a sort of ambient way to keep moving, even when she's hiding.

Fierce when she has to be, Sona has no issues about going into combat. In fact, she bathes in the light of combat, because she loves the attention. It allows her to show her musical arts at their deadly peak. She has extensive musical knowledge, and always seems to be learning new things. Many call her a prodigy in music, because her sheer talent is reminiscent of the great classical composers, and then some. Sona dislikes the sound of most voices, preferring her ambient music over other people's noisy actions. She might seem rude at times, by simply moving away from those she finds annoying, but in general, Sona seeks a higher level of intelligence then the average person. She would rather have someone that, if she had to teach them the code, they could easily communicate with her. There is an easy dislike for spoiled brats, as she had to grow up with very little but Etwahl and music. In a way, Sona is terribly lonely, and yearns in the deep of her heart to have a family again. A interesting habit is that Sona always locks her doors, windows and even air vents, whilst also leaving the lights on when she sleeps. She seems to heavily dislike darkness, always having a source of light near by.

Natural Abilities

Basic Magic:

Code of Dia ::
This is a basic magic, allowing Sona to form words by playing simple notes in rapid succession. It requires an auditory capability in order to listen. The Code is as follows. As a note, the small b means a flat note, and the small s means a sharp note. There is a distinctive auditory difference, as the sharp notes are higher in sound, and the flat notes are lower. As the music notes go from A-E, combination notes are used for the last letter of the alphabet, preforming a dual sound for that letter.

Asthetic Grace ::
This is a magic that is naturally inherant to Sona. Her light bone structure allows her to, at all times, glide. Her feet never touch the ground, in fact, giving her a good inch or two in height. She is really about 5'3. Her clothes are long enough to compensate for this, and hide this fact. This allows Sona to little energy to keep herself from the ground, and move with surprising speed and grace towards a target.

Captivated Spectator ::
This is a simple spell that Sona developped in order to mark whom is an ally, and whom is a foe. At the start of the battle, she will give an item to someone, or make a note to Etwahl whom not to target with her magecraft. She can also give someone a mark that will be visible only to her, and not effect the person in any other way other then marking them as friend or foe.

Forms: Unlike most Magus, Sona is special in the fact that she has several forms. This is a trait passed down her birth family, Incantem, and thus her brother Nathaniel also has this. However, Sona's forms are varied and several, due to the fact that she has suffered amnesia. And due to that amnesia, she developped DID : Disassociative Identity Disorder. More or less, each form has it's own personality and method of doing things. Also, her magecraft changes sound and even looks at times with these changes. Each one of them is named after a music genre that they generally represent. Sona herself tends to sound like elevator or medative music.

Aes :: This is a hot tempered, arrogantly dominant girl. She doesn't take no for an answer and has no problem abusing people for what she wants. She will step on anyone that gets in her way. She is more or less described as ''hardcore'' as blood, violence, horror or anything else that may be deemed evil and dark are actually quite enjoyable to her. She refuses to be under someone else's control, and is very physically domineering, having no qualms to hit people. She seems to enjoy pain and is a sadomasochist. She's said to represent the element of ''Metal'' and all of her Magecraft sounds are heavy metal noises, like screeching electric guitars or synthezied keyboards.

Stella :: This version is happy go lucky, doesn't seem to have a problem. She tends to love jumping into things, and being loud. She is very enthusiastic, and is almost a bit dumb at times. She doesn't mind a good joke, and adores to make other people giggle. She has this sort of easy way of making friends, totally being the center light for social groups without a problem. She loves to produce bouncing music, and make people enjoy themselves. She usually appeals to the general population, capable of many topics and seems to be almost content by being around a lot of people. She's said to represent the element of ''Mainstream Pop'' and all of her Magecraft sounds are 8-bit and a bit dubstep like. There is also a lot of gaming refrences in her sounds too.

Aurora :: This version is very elegant, and also very Oriental like. She has a sort of beauty that most Orientals would find themselves jealous of. She is refined and very polite, almost submissive at times, preferring to keep herself out of trouble. She loves to serve one she feels comfortable with, and often has many steps to dedication. However, underneath that gentle, almost innocent like look, she is quite the pervert. She loves to tease and to lead on, whilst remaining elegant and unapprocheable. She has affection for everyone, and seems mostly motherly in most cases, loving to counsel and help others. She's said to represent the element of Enka, her Magecraft sounds being all based around traditional sounds.

Aeon :: This version is almost sensual, enrapturing in her elegance. She seems to inspire strong emotions, and has no fear of her sexuality. She is actually very pure of heart, engulfing herself into her artistry, and of the movements of emotions involved into everything. Her entire time is usually spent in another world, as if exploring different planes and even making pictures with music. She loves making emotions out of notes. She's said to represent Classical music, her magecraft sounds often echoing and sounding like an orchestra then anything else.

Flos :: This version is the most childish out of all of them. She likes bright and shiny things, she loves to play and just generally seems like Melodia before her memory was wiped. Very earnest and kind, she's always seem smiling and having fun. She has a sort of innocent light to her, and adores everything and everyone she comes into contact with. She is often endearing, due to the fact that she judges no one, good or evil, but just happily loves everyone. She is also the most physically affectionate, loving to hug and snuggle and generally like an affectionate cat. She's said to represent Lullabies, and Children Rhymes, her notes sounding cute and simple, but with a hint of darkness.

Magecraft Unleashed

Mystic Code :: Etwahl
This is a strange looking instrument, seemingly oriental in nature. Yet, it becomes obvious upon inspection that it's ressemblance to the oriental instruments is just a cover. The instrument is gold in color, and is about 5-9 feet wide. It has strange, intricate designs in it's wing like tips, and it's dual fang like center. The instrument has no stand, and simply floats in mid air, always by Sona's side. The instrument seems to be bound to her, and is one of the only things that Sona can freely communicate with. There is an intense bond between the girl and the instrument. The instrument itself is a Mystic Code, but Sona hasn't quite unlocked it's true powers, apart from amplifying her own through it. She can direct her attacks, allowing her to, until she marks them, exclude people from her Magecraft, or the reverse as well.

Family Crest :: Symphony
This is Sona's remaining family crest, as the other was sacrificed and given to her brother, along with her voice. However, Sona is not aware of it, as it is located in her lower back, and she has never seen it. Therefore, it's capabilities are largely untapped, but some of it's aspects show up in her mage craft.

Magecraft :: Son
This is Sona's magecraft, which she has refined dearly. It allows her, by plucking a few simple notes on Etwahl, to produce a variety of effects. How is this done? Simple. Sona plays a few notes that form, in the code that she has learned, a key word to the capability. From there, she adjusts to the C major and the A minor cords, and consistently plays afterward. What does this produce? An initial effect due to the code word, and then a lasting aura. All effects are measure in hearing distance. However, most would assume that someone whom is deaf would not bear any effect form Sona's magic. That is a false assumption ; for Sona also has a visual aspect to her capabilities, allowing even those that are deaf to partake in her skills. However, the visual component has a much shorter range then hearing distance, covering only 30 feet in distance for all effects.

Power Cord :: Passive
Code: Fs Ab Ds E E [Three]
This is the initial sense of Sona's capabilities. This is a passive capability, that starts playing in opposition to Sona's current ability, once she has used three in a row. This small song core represents the fact that a charged attack is about to come someone's way. It is damaging in nature, but it also carries an extra effect that is carried on by the last song that she played. Each ability highlights the Power Cord effect.

Hymn of Valour :: Active/Passive
Code: Es Eb Bb C E [Slice]
Power Cord: Staccato [Upgrades the damage to typical bankai level.]
This is the first active music capability within Sona's Magecraft. By playing that initial series of notes, and then following up with them intermixed afterwards, she produces a spell. For auditory range, it lacerates the area with several strikes, each about a typical shikai's strength in power. This lacerates the entirety, including inanimate objects. However, within a 30 feet range, living beings are primarily targetted, like homing missiles. In visual effects, blue bolts slip out of her instrument and attack anything within range. However, these are also homing, but within a 15 feet range. After this first burst, the ambient music is shown in a blue aura in a 30 feet range, and is still auditory. Allies will recieve a bonus to their attacks, either it be spiritual, physical or anything else. The bonus is adding the typical strength of Sona's tier. [For example, if Sona was 2-1, she would add typical 2-1 bonus to her allies within the passive's range.] The aura remains for half of the post that another spell is used.

Aria of Perseverance :: Active/Passive
Code: Ab E A Eb [Heal]
Power Cord: Dimuendo [Reduces all opponent's within range to 50% of their original attack power.]
This is the second music Magecraft that Sona formed. By following her proccess, she produces this spell. This spell heals a single ally for all of the damage they have incurred, no matter what it is. It heals Sona. Because of the strength of this spell, it is only usuable once every 5 posts. The visual aspect is a green colored beam, and a green aura too. The aura raises all regeneration propreties, be they energy or damage repairing. The amount is of Sona's tier. The aura remains for two posts after another spell is activated.

Song of Celerity :: Active/Passive
Code: Fb As AB E [Move]
Power Cord: Tempo [Reduces all opponent speed by 50% of their original amount for the duration of the aura.]
This is the third music Magecraft that Sona has learned. By establishing her process, she engages this ability with refined grace. The activation is single target : once afflicted, it will reduce their cognitive and reaction speed by half of their usual amount. The visual is a magenta color, and it will home in onto the opponent within the visual range. The aura itself gives bonus cognitive function, reaction and speed to all allies, to Sona's tier. [Cognitive functions is more or less intelligence, like putting puzzles together, organizing ect.] The aura lasts a single post after Sona switches from this song.

Crescendo :: Active
Code: D A Gb C E [Dance]
Power Cord: Reduces the cool down by 2 posts.
This is a solo active spell. By smashing the combination, Sona can produce a wide burst ; visually, it looks like a yellow colored surge moves out of Sona's range. It comes from all directions, bound in a weird, overlapped circle. Anyone afflicted will become unable to resist dancing for that post. Typically, it will be an embarassing dance, some might have a good dance ; this depends on the person. The dance itself does no harm : however, the attack itself inflicts Bankai level damage on the opponent if they are caught. This capability can only be used one every six posts. The initial activation can be done within the first six posts, but then it's on cooldown for six after that.

Past

Character Background: Melodia, or Sona as she is better known, was born to a pair of influential Magus parents. Both of them practiced magic, and came together to form a superior crest. Where her mother had the voice of a siren, her father was able to sire notes effectively. She had an older brother, Nathaniel, that was very precious to her. He practically raised her, because her parents were always so busy. Melodia was a bright and happy child, always smiling and laughing. The world was full of wonder, and she had exceptionally strong musical talent. Her brother, unfortunately, posessed no talent. This came clear to Melodia when she reached about 50 years. That's when she begun to realize that Nathaniel was being treated as her servant, and not her older brother. Confused, she was initially hurt, as her parents both confided their crests and heritages to her. It was confusing to the younger girl, being a prodigy at music, but her singing voice was said to be so beautiful that if the rulers of the Sugiura heard it, they would be charmed. It was a voice that held potent magic power, and could even tame wild Guardian Beasts. It was a powerful gift ; however, Melodia soon found herself discontent. She felt as if her brother would be seperated from her. In a terrible night, she knocked out her mother and father, and dragged her brother to their workshop. He, insecure, tried to dissuade her. But Melodia was stubborn, as she found a spell that might transfer a crest and half of her potential into him.

Without regarding the cost, Melodia preformed the spell. It was long and torturous, but she did it with success. However, it became clear, right afterwards, what had happened. She had given up her voice, now totally mute. In the same occaision, she had lost her memory and was nothing more then a lost child. Nathaniel hid her from his parents, and placed her into an orphange, along with giving her the Mystic Code, Etwahl. Deprived of house, family and even self, she was left to fend for herself in the orphange, as everyone she knew kept getting adopted. But one day, a Sugiura by the name of Lestara Buvelle. Adopting the girl, naming her Sona, and teaching her how to use her Mystic Code, the girl found herself with a well of power that, surprisingly even surpassed her original power. This made Lestara believe that Sona's original potential was even higher then many suspected, which became frightening in it's own. The potential power of Sona's music and sound was so strong, that it could have easily rivalled Guardian Beasts of the oldest kind, and even perhaps, become a Sorcery.

However, Sona learned the deadly art of manipulating the notes on Etwahl, in order to produce effects. And slowly, she learned a code, used by an ancient secret society that died out quite a long time ago. Their code was simple ; using music notes to communicate in a code, it allowed them to worship their gods under the noses of those that didn't agree. From there, Sona was found, with Lestara's body in her arms, as she weeped silently over the death of her saviour and only parent to her knowledge. To her surprise, the Incantem family funded her ressearch, and allowed her to travel into the human world after she had submitted a petition to the Heir of the family. As such, Sona now travels to a world she doesn't necessarily understand, in the hopes of learning something great.
