Azura Melody Sinea may the music in our hearts play a beautiful tune. general info
appearance Azura is, by most means, reasonably average. Rather than some exotic, divine beauty one might find in some species, she holds more of a simpistic, natural beauty. Her skin is pale and surprisingly clear, speaking more for how well she cares for her health than anything supernatural. She’s a rather average height with a slender frame perhaps a little on the lighter side. Her hair is thick and reaches her mid-back, dark blue in color with paler streaks and often loose or braided and decorated in some way or another. Her clothing style makes it quite obvious she’s not much of an attention seeker, or in the very least she can’t afford anything that might make her seem like she is, sticking to the more practical and comfortable side of things such as jeans, shorts, loose t-shirts and hoodies, dependant on weather of course (though she’ll deny sensitivity to the cold as much as she can for some reason). The most notable thing about her is the necklace she always wears on a leather cord, and the fact that she tends to be carrying some kind of sketchbook or often forgets she has a pencil tucked behind her ear. As a shifter, Azura also has an animal form, which is a blue jay. Almost as though her humanoid appearance is derived from that of her avian appearance (which likely it is), the paleness of her skin seems to compliment the white of the bird’s belly and face, and the light and dark blue of her hair, as well as the sapphire of her eyes, seems to match the coloration of the bird’s wings. By all appearances in her shifted form, Azura appears exactly like any other Blue Jay bird, small and exotic looking. personality Azura isn’t always the easiest girl to figure out, and isn’t always who she appears to be on the surface. When one first meets her, she generally comes across as quite shy and reserved, often quick to avoid confrontation and overly social situations. Perhaps she may even come off as cold or ignorant. However, were one to get to know her, she’s a little deeper than that. With those close to her or those she feels safe around, she can be quite friendly and playful, happy to talk your ear off about a topic that interests her, or sit in companionable silence and just enjoy some pleasant company. She is a surprisingly good listener, and since she can be smarter than she seems when she puts her mind to it, can give pretty good advice at times, even if it may sometimes seem like she wasn’t listening at all (especially if she happened to be drawing at the time). Most would say any good advice comes not from intelligence or personal experience, but her rather creative, artsy mind. She wouldn’t bother denying this, even if she readily denies her skill with both art and music, and even more so of anything requiring beyond general-knowledge leveled intelligence. Unfortunately, her more friendly, caring demeanour isn’t seen much by strangers (except perhaps children, animals, or people who need help she can give), because she has built up trust issues over the years as well as a more introverted nature, preferring to keep to herself and mind her own business. Still, put her in a situation she can’t escape, and she may prove to have quite a temper of which she has varied control over, and a tendency akin to a flight response where she may very well blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. Perhaps its actually an intelligent aim to distract people long enough to act as her aid, though its more likely just her brain short-circuiting in panic, anger or confusion. At times, her softer, quieter nature can give way to a fierce competitive streak and surprising determination. She isn’t particularly likely to stand up for herself unless its the only thing she can think to do, but she’ll readily stand up for those she cares about, so be cautious lest you find the thorns of this sweet little rose. abilities Shifting: As a shifter, Azura can take the form of one animal at will - a Blue Jay bird. It takes 30 seconds for her to transform, in which she is most vulnerable to attack, but the shift is painless and voluntary, her clothes and whatever she has on her disappearing to reappear when she changes back to her human form. In her avian form, she is capable of everything a Blue Jay would naturally be capable of, though she is slightly stronger and faster, and has a slightly better endurance than the bird would normally have, as well as sharper instincts especially pertaining danger. If injured in her animal form, she is forced back into her human form, and if the injury to her animal form is considerably severe/fatal, she can’t take that form for around five days, depending on severity. Thanks to being a shifter, Azura is also good at understanding and communicating with animals, especially birds, in both her forms. She can approach agressive animals with much less risk and has a much easier time taming and soothing animals, wild or not. Due to this, she feels much closer to animals than she does humans/humanoid creatures, and is often seen with animals, be it voluntarily or not (as they are drawn to her as much as she is to them). Some of Azura’s animal traits carry across to her human form, though none of the physical ones. Instead, she has great sight, with a color perception just slightly above the ordinary human range, and, and a motion and detail perception that is nearly three times better than that of an ordinary human, as is common in birds. Her hearing is also better than ordinary humans, and makes her very good at picking out the differences between even very similar sounds. However, her great hearing comes with a downfall that it is very sensitive, and she can often be quite sensitive to loud or very high pitched noises, therefore making her more prone to headaches. She also has an easier time feeling vibrations in the ground or whatever surface she is on, making it easier for her to notice approach, though when wearing shoes this sensory enhancement is practically non-existent. Alongside her more bird-like senses, she also carries that same instinctual sense as most shifters that can occaisionally give her a sense of if danger is nearby, and a surprisngly great memory thanks to her avian form. backstory How Azura’s life began is unbeknownst to her. Of course, she knows she once had a mother and father. Perhaps they were together, maybe not. Perhaps they loved her, and wanted desperately to keep her, or maybe they never wanted anything to do with her. Whatever life was like back then, all that she had left of it was a necklace, her name, and her beloved brother. Anything beyond her first year of life was spent by her brother’s side, moved from home to home, sometimes staying for a while, but never permanently. Different towns, different schools, different people. Everything seemed to change, nothing was ever consistent. Except him. She and her brother were as close as anything. In her mind, and likely in his, there was nothing in the world that could drive them apart. The universe was quick to prove them wrong. By the time she turned seven, they were separated, sent to different homes. For the years without her brother, everything was so much worse. Now all she had was a name and a necklace. Nothing else. Who was she beyond that? Still, she couldn’t give up, she refused to give up. She vowed they would be reunited. Unfortunately, that determination took a turn for the worse, and she started picking up bad habits. She did poorly in school, she lied often, stole money and food, and even ran away on several occasions, driving more families to turn her away or outright refuse to take her in to begin with. She was trouble, she wasn’t worth the effort, a risk to others, to herself. She hated all the things they said about her. They weren’t true! Were they? By high school, she knew a change had to be made. This wasn’t how she was going to make things right again. So, she changed herself around. Still, it was hard not to see everyone as the enemy, it took a while for her to believe in herself to any extent, and in truth, perhaps she never really made it that far. However, she excelled in her education, in her hobbies, she made friends, stopped stealing, turned to honesty, even got a part time job around school. This was how she would see her bother. It worked. By the time she was fifteen, her brother had managed to stabilise himself enough to convince people he was capable of taking care of her. Moving in with her brother just felt natural, it was the first thing that felt entirely right. She didn’t care where they lived or whether they had to move around, or even what he did. They were together again, like they were supposed to be. Everything was right again. Even once she was old enough to leave, she stayed with him gladly. Perhaps not for too much longer, but for now she was content, even as they moved to start the next chapter of their lives in a new country. She has no idea what lies in wait for her, but right now, she doesn’t care. Perhaps she ought to. misc Necklace she always wears (pendant is on a black leather cord with a clasp) - Azura is an orphan - lives with her older brother in Lorsette - Azura loves berries, especially blackberries and raspberries, as well as chocolates, and she has quite the sweet tooth - Azura is easy to befriend - if you’re nice (bonus points if you’re good with animals) - Azura does have trust issues and can shy from commitment - Azura is a sucker for a good romance story - Azura is actually a very good artist and great with music: She can sing, play the violin, piano and flute pretty well She can also paint and draw well, and especially loves painting/drawing nature and animals - Azura is often followed around by animals - Azura has several pets, some that stay home and others that follow her: Zana - Female Australian Shepard (4 years old) Miko - Male Silver Savannah cat (1 year old) Cyrus - Male Sun Conure & Amar - Male Turquoise green-cheek Conure (both 6) Lucia & Nova - Female Sugar Gliders (both 2) | roleplayer info ☆ NAME Nyara ☆ RP EXPERIENCE Aeons ☆ TIMEZONE NZST (GMT+13) ☆ GENDER Female ☆ AGE Immortal (18+) ☆ OTHER CHARACTERS N/A ☆ FACE CLAIM HAPPY TREE FRIENDS, Petunia (human) ---------------------- THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO NYARA.
