There is an extent to exactly who and how long she can make a person feel a certain way, though she doesn't know all of the limits.

Hair: She has light brown/blondish hair that reaches her shoulder blades. It’s always kept tied back and she keeps her bangs covering her left eye to hide a scar that is just under her eye.

Home Village: Unknown, although she has lived in Aroughs most of her life.

Parents: She grew up with a human couple named Ferdinand and Lilia, although they are not her real parents.

Character Personality: Jo is a very quiet person, except when around her friends. She doesn’t make friends very easily but is a very fun person to be around. She always knows the right thing to say to make someone feel comfortable with her. She often prefers observing rather than speaking her opinion and she has a terrible habit of staring at something until she forgets what she was thinking about. She is a curious person and loves to explore despite her lack of a sense of direction. She never likes to act before thinking anything through, because she’d hate to see the consequences of her folly if she didn’t. She’s sensitive to those around her and has a terrible temper towards those who hurt her friends. Once her mind is set she won't be stopped; she's stubborn but not to a fault, she knows when to stop and when things get foolish. She doesn't like being around too many people because it makes her nervous. She works well in teams, just not with a lot of people. She is very trustworthy and will never speak another’s business unless they are jeopardizing the fight for justice. She hates feeling unused so she has a rigorous training schedule and practices until she is hurt or bruised and sore. Jo has a tendency to ignore her pain and keep on fighting because she was taught to never give up. She has the mentality of a fighter and enjoys arguing. Jo often over analyzes things but never blows them out of proportion. She simply over thinks things and confuses herself to the amusement of others. She often acts like a tough-girl but inside she really is soft hearted and kind. She stands out to most people because of the way that she can make them feel a certain way, because often people feel it but don’t know what it’s coming from. She loves animals which tug at a little heart string of hers. She is fascinated by simple things that slip past her assertive nature and then proceeds to study them in depth. Her first thought is always to study something and try and figure it out with logic before jumping to a conclusion. One of her favorite ways to study is staring at things for long amounts of time. She loves to sing although she doesn’t know if she sounds any good because she’s afraid of other people’s opinions.

Character History: Jo doesn’t have any memories of her past life, starting before one memory. That is of her walking along a road near midnight when she was four years old. She remembers a terrible pain in her right arm as though her skin had been burned off. She was later found by a young boy, who ran back to a nearby village to find his parents. His parents stumbled along through the dark to find Jo, who was dying because of blood loss. She was taken to the home of a local healer and taken care of. The family stayed with her the entire time, because they felt a certain tie to her. After two weeks she regained consciousness and managed to tell the family that the only thing she could remember was that her name was Jo. The family pitied her and decided to bring her into their family as their adopted daughter. Their son, Rafael, was nine at the time when this all occurred and he swore that he would protect her no matter what. As soon as she regained the ability to walk, Rafael would take her on walks through the town of Reavstone near where they found her. Jo found that she strongly enjoyed the breeze of the ocean and the beautiful blue of and told Rafael that one day she would leave their home and explore the entire world from all of the bodies of water. When she turned six her adopted father, Ferdinand, decided to start teaching her basic magic such as for healing herself and making minor attacks. She never became interested in the works of magic, but found herself marveling at the use of a spear. On evenings after finishing her magic studies she would leave her home and go off to play fight with a make-shift spear and practice. Rafael accompanied her on occasion and practiced with her using a smaller tree limb to make-shift a sword. She focused on jumping over his attacks and moving around them then twisting the spear around to attack him at a safe distance while still doing large amounts of damage. For several years her and her brother would train in the woods by the river honing their skills to perfection. She learned the perfect way for her to fight that minimized all damage dealt to her but maximized damage she dealt to others.
On her thirteenth birthday she was given her first real crafted spear. It was made by her brother who had taken an internship at a weapon smith’s forge for a year to learn a craft. The shaft was made of a black metal and infused with spells by her adopted mother and father. It had a small length of chain that could be attached to her wrist to make attacks easier to be dealt with. She has kept the spear in top shape ever since she received it.
Two years after receiving her spear her and her brother were out practicing in the wood when one of the younger city children had run to tell them that their home had been set on fire. Rafael and Jo ran as fast as they could but could not save their parents from the flames that engulfed their childhood home. Jo ran into the wreckage trying to find her adopted parents but could see no more than smoke and the red of the fire. She did however see someone but she couldn’t see who they were or what they looked like. It appeared to be a phantom of sorts because of a flowing and shredded hood that covered its body. She saw it only a brief moment before it disappeared. After stumbling out of the wrecked home a terrible she was overcome by a terrible headache and later passed out from the pain. She stayed bedridden for nearly two weeks and her dreams were filled with nightmares and ghouls and visions of the dead. She awoke to find Rafael and some of the townspeople taking care of her fevered and aching body.
Rafael told her that their parents were dead and buried and she told him that she would be leaving in a week after gathering provisions. She promised him that one day she would come back to live in Aroughs again but has not been back since.


Weapons: The spear her brother gave her called Nightwing. It is a black metal spear cast in a five to six foot mold. It is imbued with the power to never break and is always sharp. It has an engraving along the shaft that says “Trust the length, destroy the fool.” Which was a saying that her and Rafael would often say to each other as they practiced. It is a powerful spear that she believes cannot be beaten. It has a chain attached to the end on a thick ring of metal that can be used to attach to a brace on her arm that can support the brunt of blows dealt toward the spear. She also carries around a foot long knife that she uses for cutting rope and other technical uses. It is cast in unbreakable metal and the blade stays freezing cold constantly. She hardly ever uses the knife to fight but on occasion does use it as a shield and parry weapon.

Likes: Bird watching, exploring, studying things and rain.

Dislikes: Nuisances, mosquitoes, and sneezing.

Animal Companions: None.

Character's Physical Description: Jo has a light tan but normally rather pale skin. She has freckles spread lightly amongst her cheeks, shoulders and forearms. Although it is suspected that she is an elf, the only thing tying her to that thought is her slightly pointed ears. Her cheekbones are rounded not sharp and angular like elves, although she is very beautiful. She has a scar just under her left eye that looks as though a tear is slipping constantly down her cheek. It is about an inch long. Her entire right arm is scarred because of the incident that occurred before she lost her memory although it looks as though she skin was burned off and the scar is in a fire sort of pattern.
She is very well built, her muscles are toned but not so much as to make them stick out in a disgusting and unattractive manner. Her height is a little taller than the average sixteen year old female. She is always wearing a sort of black leather tunic and breeches, with a hooded cloak to hide them and her knife under. She favors a pair of hardened black boots that belonged to her brother. She keeps her knife belted at her right hip for easy access and she always keeps the hem of the cloak covering it. The cloak reaches just nearly an inch above ground. Her spear is set in a small sheath like thing on her back so she can swing her arm around and have it out with a twist in a second.

Dreams for the Future: To explore all areas of Alagaesia.

Reason for Dreams: She thinks that it would be fun.

Alignment/side: She is neutral in all affairs that she considers to be out of her hands.

Looks good, nice job.
Accepted by me.
Just need one more from Phal or Star and then Aeraldi to give the go ahead.

Okay I went and changed it to a certain extent. Thanks Star.

After her travels with Zeei she became more open towards people, while also simultaneously making her more cautious around others. The appearance of her wings complicated her interactions in many Empirical cities, however there were a few that didn’t mind the new additions.

After her travels with Zeei, she visited places throughout Surda. The towns were enamored with her and she even met some of King Orrin’s scientists who took samples of her blood, and feathers to test for anomalies. She found herself becoming quite well known along her travels throughout Surda. She was particularly entertained when she went to the small town of Petrøyva on the edge of Surda. There was a young dragon hatchling, no more than nine months old, that would follow her around, bugging her with questions constantly. She grew fond of the little dragon and told her of the many details of her life. Meeting Zeei, nearly getting killed by her, nearly killing her, and she went through the story of her wings many times. The young dragon was fascinated and listened to everything she said.

After her travels in Surda she has moved on to Ellesmera, she can now be found wandering with a letter from the Varden and King Orrin addressed to the Queen, headed somewhere toward the outskirts of the great forest.

Jo now has pure white wings, that expand to around 5’6” each. They’re appearance was caused by two shreds from her shoulder blades down to the small of her back by Zeei’s claws.
