Mari- Reference Sheet

Description

Quick character reference for my original character, Mari. She's a mage, and a possible character for a friend's novel. (It all depends on her.) She's kinda old for the group, 28, and a major bookworm. Her animal is the swan: she's usually quiet and even-keeled, but don't get on her bad side. You really don't want to get on her bad side (especially when she'll probably blow you up).

Name: Mari
Race: Human
Age: 28
Eye color(s): Left eye: purple, right eye: green
Hair color: Black-brown, waist length
Skin: Healthy pale
Occupation: Master mage
Birth date: October 31
Birthstone/Powerstone: Black opal
Sign: Scorpio (no, she is not moody)
Family: Mother, Naturalist; Father, Scholar; Eldest brother, Healer (married, has two children, expecting a third); Middle brother, Army officer (married, expecting first child; taught Mari to use weapons)
Powers: related to Spirit (using her purple eye and purple seal on her right hand) and Plants/Earth (using her green eye and the green seal on her left hand)
Education: Plant magic, general book knowledge, archery, a little healing on the side (nothing bigger than a papercut)
Weapons: Bows and arrows; arrows filled with magic to make targets explode
Animal: Swan
Personality/Background: Though usually even-keeled, Mari holds a passionate side deep within her. Mari is often considered an odd one because she is not married and has not made it a goal, like many women her age. Due to her background, she was always encouraged to be independent and learn how to defend and take care of herself. Though gifted with book intelligence and some street smarts, she is unusually rather naive and clumsy when dealing with people she is close to, especially romantically. She became an apprentice mage at age ten, became a journeyman at sixteen, and finally earned the title of Master at age twenty. She has taken on only a few pupils. She has led an overall rather normal life.

Now, I KNOW there are a crapload of problems in these pictures. Like, it makes me cry. On the far left, the hair came out PERFECTLY, but the dress didn't come out as pretty as it looked in my head. It is her court/formal dress outfit (it's supposed to be reminiscent of swan feathers); it is a milky white with an iridescent sheen to it. She wears a choker and head jewel with black opals. She wears cream pants and a neutral colored shoes with gold embroidery/detail. Next is her casual studywear, which came out the best, I think. Ignore the face, I just kinda doodled it in. She again wears a black opal forehead jewel, with her hair tied to keep it pretty and somewhat out of the way. She wear a kind of green tunic top with silver lining and blue sleeves, as well as blue pants, white tights and dark slippers. The necklace would be reddish in color. Last I like is her travel wear; her hair is pulled back in a tight braid, again with a forehead opal. A swan adorns her quiver, and I imagine her coat and vest to be reddish or brown in color, with gold detail, and the pants are a neutral creamy color. (colors pending) And PLEASE DEAR GOD IGNORE THE FIGURE ON THE FAR RIGHT. IT SUCKS, AND IS NO LONGER PART OF THE COLLECTION. Thank you. ^^

I love the head in the upper right the best. It's Mari when she's lost control; I'm proud of her face, it's close to how I picture it. I had the idea when one becomes a journeyman or master mage, one of their eyes changes color, and when the go mad and lose control, their hair and eyes turn white. Thank you, that is all.

I own Mari, and ~twilightfaerie79 may end up partially owning her too. No stealie-stealie.
