~Clothing and basic appearance~
Height: 5'5
Weight: 120lbs

Eye color: Aquamarine
Hair color: Soft violet

Physical Distinctions: Due to being forced to maintain of daily routine of body treatments throughout her life, Katarina has an unusual enhancements of her natural features:

• Her hair holds an aroma of saffron spices, cinnamon, and jasmine and lavender from nightly and morning brushes of oils infused with these. It is also unusually soft and silk for the same reasons.
• Her skin is very soft and almost sheen with a honey beige tone from daily honey-milk baths. She lacks a single scar.
• Her lips and cheeks are flushed with a natural pink almost mistaken for make up, this is due to green tea masks infusing blood to her face and rose pedal pigments painted her lips after every meal, eventually permeated the pigment of her lips.

~Brief Description on Abilities~

Katarina is a complete pacifist, not believing in violence or assault on people. All her magical energy is devoted to the defensive arts. This all typically involves rapid changes to her body. A transformation can happen in the blink of an eye, though the longer they are concentrated on, the more powerful and long lasting they are.

Mitigation: The ability to absorb physical impacts on her body and vibrate the force through her evenly to reduce focused damage.

Diamond Skin transformation: All cells of body crystallize and function in the form of diamonds. These constantly reshape and shift to allow movement.

Anti Magic Transformation: Magic within ten feet of her is completely neglected.

~Personality~

Shy: Katarina is very bashful, easily embarrassed, and blushes quite often. She is also unbelievably boy shy.

Generous: Katarina is quick to give and slow to take

Quiet: Typically doesn't speak unless spoken to or really has something to say; even then, it's usually no more than a whisper

Sweet/Compassionate: Quick to help. Will often say something cute and nice to make someone feel good about themselves.

~History~

To be decided.



~Basics~

Name: Desiree
Age: 3 years old.

Species: Pterippus [Winged Horse]

Sex: Female
Height: Eighteen hands
Built: Slender, speed horse.

Coloration: Picture
Eyes: Ultraviolet

Wing span: 40 ft
Tail feathers: Can extend 5ft long and spread 3.5ft wide.

~Physical Attributes~

Speed: Desiree is a lithe horse, though large in stature, and is built for running and flying at higher speeds. This horse in particular excels in speed, even with Katarina [who is 120lbs] on board. Her max speed is 70mph in a full sprint.

Strength: If working as a draft horse, she can pull about 400lbs.

Aerodynamics: Desiree is an incredible flyer. Even beyond her wings, her body is more structured for flying than it is for running: honeycomb structured bones, hydrogen gas bladders, and an incredible metabolism. Instead of hair on her rear, the horse has a dynamic tail feather that can flatten horizontally or vertically, allowing it to double as both a fish propeller/turner, and a stabilizer for gliding. Her vast and long wings allow her to spontaneously take off or gallop into the skies. She can maneuver with acrobatic speed and perfection, and the muscles behind her wings are very vigorous.

Stamina: This horse can fly miles on end. Her running stamina is well, but not nearly as great as her flying.

Sight: The ultraviolet glow within her irises suggests something magical about her vision. Desiree can fly directly towards the sun without being blinded and sees excessively well in the dark. Her precision of sight exceeds well over that of eagles. Curiously, even if Katarina is obscured by trees, clouds, or even rooftops, the horse seems to be able to locate her from amazing heights.

~Mental Attributes~

Intelligence: Desiree is capable of understanding and comprehending common tongue and intricate instruction. She is also very consciously aware of herself, her species, and her history.

Temperament: Desiree sometimes expresses a kind motherly nature to Katarina, but in general she is very testy, irritable, prideful, and demanding of respect. She's untamed and alpha-minded. Even Katarina has a difficult time getting her to obey her in certain situations.




Name: Alexander Davis

Age: 23
Height: 6'4
Weight: 210lbs

Revealed as Katarina's betrothed fiancée. Not much is known about him, except that he is violent, abusive, the son of a noble, and is chasing Katarina across in an attempt to force her hand in marriage.

 

[PrincessTyche]

Name: Arikara Brule
(Translated: Horns/Elk people; Burned Thighs)

Nickname: Ari or Kara
Age[Actual] Unknown
Age Appearance: Late 20s, Early 30s.
Race: Demonic
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Class: Spiritual Shepherd of Pariki

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 140lbs w/o clothing
Attire: Tribal attire with genuine lupine fur, avian feathers, and elk hide linen.
Eye Color: Silvery with slit ebony pupils. Amber flecks seen in sun/moonlight.
Hair Color: Charcoal
Skin color: Dark Mocha, bronze undertone when flushed. || Burnt wood tint with golden-orange blends that shimmer against light
Physical Mutations: Duel Horns (1.2 ft) & Extended Claws (4inches)

Equipment:
Shepherd's Crook: A crook made from the horn of a Pariki. This is a summoning weapon that works as a key between the ethereal and corporeal world, allowing the wielder to summon and control Pariki bulls.

Gauntlet: A large metallic claw the consumes Arikara's entire left hand and forearm. It has the unique capability to inflict direct damage upon spirits, utilizing Arikara's innate ability of touching incorporeal spirits. On the dorsum of the gauntlet is an infused spell, in which Arikara can capture, purloin, and/or imprison a limited amount of spiritual essence if she 'backhands' it.

~Abilities~

Summoning the Pariki: Arikara is a demonic shepherd of the spiritual realm, living originally upon her ethereal world in an existence parallel but separate from the corporeal. With the usage of her crook, she can call forth her spiritual herders called the Pariki to do her bidding in manipulating, herding, capturing, and incapacitating wild spirits and spiritual essences that exist in the world of the living.

Extrasensory: A shepherd is capable of seeing, communicating, smelling, and touching anything ethereal. She can sense the presence of spiritual energy and easily blend her fingers between the worlds to make contact with both living and spirits.

Transformation: Within the ethereal world, Arikara has a very different form. Although a demonic spirit within her world, she takes on the corporeal flesh and human-like demeanor for the sake of blending into the environment and concealing her identity from the spirits themselves. Because of a shepherd's reputation within her world, spirits normally recognize her as a 'shepherd' in her demonic form and often flee in fear of the Pariki. Consequent of her vessel change, much of her spiritual energy and shepherd abilities are subdued.

Taking on her spiritual form releases an substantial amount of additional energy. The horns that transpire act as a second 'gateway' to her world, and allows her to double her herd of Pariki from 2 max to 4 max bulls. In addition, her extrasensory abilities of spiritual signatures expand. Her claws are purely spiritual, can cause severe 'soul bleeding' [explained with the Pariki below] if they scratch a spiritual vessel and can cleave through spiritual attacks. Unlike the Pariki, a Shepherd can decisively release ranged spiritual blasts. However, a Shepherd's abilities mostly focus on controlling the herd.

Within her spiritual form, she can also possess the living by entering weak minds and tainted hearts. She may also become completely invisible and intangible.

Personality:
Calm and Collected
Calculating, not Cold
Vigilant, not Cruel
Feeling, not Expressive
Caring, not Affectionate

History:
To be decided

Pariki
Translation: Horn People || Look like Wolves || Men of Men.

Breed: Spirit Herders, the Pariki
Pariki have the basic dimensions of an Irish Elk.
Height: Standing average 1.8m at the withers and average 3.3m in length
Weight: Average 900lbs [This may seem light, but their horns are weightless]

~Abilities~

Herding: The "flames" within a Pariki's horns can serve as a 'foul' toxin or an attractant to sentient spiritual essences. Using the former, the herd can deter and manipulate spirits from their locations by thrashing their horns at them. An aura of "heat" extends 3ft from the flames, but spirits can typically sense the danger before then.

Luring: Using the latter of the above, a Pariki can draw a spirit towards them or reel in loose spiritual energy. The cerulean luminous light of their horns acts analogous to spirits as light to insects.

Note: Luring and Herding only work on spirits without flesh. (i.e Cannot herd or lure a human's soul within the body)

Wounding/Soul Bleeding: Using the 'noxious' trait of their horns, a direct charge from the Pariki can cause damaging effects on all spiritual essences, including actual souls within flesh to a lesser extent. They can cause 'soul bleeding', in which a soul leaks out its spiritual energy with increasing instability. This causes gradual weakening and progressive retardation of the soul/spirit, and eventual lost if the 'wound' is not repaired in time. The horns have absolutely no mass effect, making them weightless and impossible to block using physical means. This does not apply to their bodies, which hold the full force corporal weight.

The Pariki can use a direct charge to force possession out of a body

Devouring: All spirits have a certain protective barrier around them, in which the horns of the Pariki pierce to cause 'bleeding' [see above]. A 'bleeding' spirit is a vulnerable one. Wild Pariki often stalk a bleeding spirit, using to 'lure' effect of their horns to draw in and feed on the leaking energy until the spirit is too weak, in which they then devour it. This is how they feed.

Ghosting: Although only for one second at a time, the Pariki can become completely intangible/spiritual. This allows them to quickly abandon the force of their rapid accelerations and make rapid turns and shifts of direction, leaving only the after-wind of their haste (makes them appear to be a haunting ghost). This allows for very effective "Trapping" below.

Trapping: Pariki can lace and solidify the energies between their horns and the horns of their herd members, creating pestilent 1ft thick lines between them up to 10m long.

-Running at higher speeds , the Pariki can lead trails of their noxious energy, to which other herd members will hold and rekindle by feeding the trail with their own horns. This causes a stable connection between two Pariki. By leaping and running around the spirit (using Ghosting) until a net is made, the Pariki can trap a spirit.


Biology and Symbiotic Relationship between the Pariki and the Shepherd:
Pariki are ethereal creatures led and guided by Spirit Shepherds like the demon Arikara.

While the Pariki have a close resemblance to elks, the creature's name possesses the translation of "look-like-wolves." This is because they do in fact hunt and devour spirits. Despite their appearance, the Pariki have the carnivorous mentality and appetite of wolves. They use the 'flesh' of spirits to nurture their bodies and fuel their flames. The more branching upon a Pariki's horns, the more powerful and older they are. When a horn reaches a certain energy capacity, it breaks off and gives rise to a new Pariki. They only 'die' from lack of spiritual feeding to fuel their bodies, which is very common in large packs of wild Pariki.

Within ethereal worlds, Shepherds have learned to concentrate and manipulate the energies within a Pariki's horns to control them. The hierarchy of the Pariki is determined by the spiritual energy their horns, the strongest of the herd ( one who has sired the most through horn shedding), is their alpha. Shepherds amplify the horns on their own heads with a deceiving energy, so a family of Pariki sees them as their alpha and obey them with unconditional loyalty. The shepherds can possess as many as the family breeds. Greater herds grant the shepherd greater spiritual prowess, and shepherds with massive herds can cast extraordinary shaman-like magic . Thus a shepherd spends their life building their herd and guiding the Pariki to feed. In return, the Pariki live much longer and Shepherd becomes powerful.

In some cases, Shepherds are summoned to the corporeal as bounty hunters of spirits, possessions, and poltergeists that have gone amok. Within the corporeal world, a Shepherd's abilities are severely limited, but their crooks serve as gateways to the ethereal realm. They can summon the Pariki, number limited by their capabilities, and give them corporeal bodies to exist in whilst maintaining their ethereal-based horns.

However, the number of Pariki and the duration they are allowed to stay within the corporeal is also very limited. Each pair of horns, including the Shepherd's, serve as an additional 'gateway' to the ethereal. While this make each subsequent Pariki easier to summon, it opens the possibilities of other things leaking through…
