Description

so my scanner makes the dark parts dark and the light parts... white. Diana is pale, as if she doesn't get enough sun... The split face in the middle-ish of the page is the difference between a 'i like you. you're pretty cool' smile and a full on grin, blush and all.

first page to my audition: [link]

Name: Diana Lowell
Age: 17
Gender: female
Height: 5'2
Weight 112lbs

Weapons: short blades based off the shape of a night stick, and wielded like such, except it's more slicey than thwacking, and she knows a martial art that is a mix between karate, muay thai, judo, and bits of kendo. (she has had minimal weapons training)
Battle style: melee (up close and personal), swift and concentrated (however, it's reckless and somewhat inexperienced at the beginning... she has only just found them)

Personality: Easily annoyed, protective, can be described as antisocial since she finds it hard to talk to others and communicate, can be naive and gullible at times, very prickly, moods range from icy indifference to burning wrath most of the time, rarely smiles (and if she does, she probably likes you... if you get a full on grin, she's probably blushing as well, which means shes attracted to you), stand-offish, ambitious, can be reckless, INCREDIBLY STUBBORN, doesn't trust others well but is almost always there for people in need of help. Very big on ethics, morals, and honor. Tomboyish. Pretends to be tough

Strength: slim build and small, agile, extremely fast in short bursts, temper, hard to scare or subdue
Weakness: physically weak, slightly gullible, stubborn, little stamina/endurance
Likes: Gummies, people that are truly nice (she's very judgmental but the ones she consider really nice are those she misjudges first but prove themselves later), bugs, reptiles, swimming
Dislikes: show offs, broken promises, sand (it gets in her shoes), haughty people, People who make fun of others
Hopes: inspiring others, being loved for who she is
Fears: Being unable to save someone, wasps (reaction: freezing in place, locating the source, and backing away a safe distance), lightning , losing people she cares about (Like Leona, her pet Bidrior, can be related to the stag beetle, monitor lizards, and snakes... However, Leona is not accompanying her in the OCT.)

Her World: The society she lives in is one sorta similar to the one of today, though somewhat more connected to nature. They live in 'packs' where everyone has a role. Upon birth, they are classified as a guard, a mage, or a healer. These roles are given based on blood line (i.e. if your blood line consists of only mages, then you will be a mage) or by a mage who looks into the future to see what you will become. This is marked onto their chest and back, and have become guards, mages, or healers in training.
There are four councils. The council of the elite (the top mage, guard, and healer), the council of the sword (the guards), the council of the staff (the mages), the council of the orb (the healers). The Elite are the most powerful ranking they may ever have and are the main voice when it comes to any decision. The Sword are the ones that are in charge of battles, beast hunting, and patrols. The Staff are the ones who give insight to the elite and but down protective barriers. The Orb are the ones who are the judge and the strongest voice that whispers to the other councils to give advise.
Guards in training are moved through the basics of combat, learning strategies and traps, how to track, they frequently host mock battles. They may never bond with any other people besides other guards until the age of 14.
Mages in training are taught the basics of magic, learning skills of effective and strength of mind, how to surpass all others, they will frequently help out with basics spells. They are required to bond with all full guards, mages, healers, and others.
Healers in training are taught the basics of truth. they must be clear-headed and calm, uninfluenced by anything or anyone else. They lead solemn silent lives of loneliness until they become the age of 20, where they are then allowed to socialize with everyone... before then, they may not be spoken to by those of any other age, skill, or rank (unless it is the mentoring healer)

Her story:
Diana was branded to become a healer, however, this was not supposed to be her rank. Way back hundreds of years ago, the fiery blood of another some how made its way into her bloodline... instead of being pure blooded healers, they were marred with the line of a guard...
This mistake was not caught... at all. When she was younger, she hadn't been prone to 'barbarian-like personality' but it began to kick in at the age of 13. People merely passed her off as the mistake in their otherwise perfect culture. She was teased and bullied by silent acts that were proclaimed 'accidents' for it was the law to not speak to a healer... Her mother, who was also her mentor, scorned and spurned her, speaking only to lash out at her disgracefulness. She was ignored by everyone else... Who would want to socialize with a faulty rejection?
By watching the guards, she slowly trained herself how to fight, before enlisting the help of a friend (yes, she broke the rules) a guard in training named Erik. She quickly caught up to his skill level, even surpassing him in strategy. Where Erik was cautious, she was daring, and would frequently leave camp to beast hunt (which isn't allowed...). One of these expeditions led to her eventual arrival at this.. place.
