☆Appearance☆
Chloris’ appearance was due to change several times throughout the week. Her original hair colour was black, but due to her gift it was generally a shade of green, blue, or blonde (her favourite colours). It was generally worn down, but when’s she working on her schoolwork or another situation where she needs to concentrate, she pulls it up into a bun so that she doesn’t have to constantly pull her hair back. Her eye colours tend to be just either a dark brown – her native – or a blue. It wasn’t that she changed it to suit her mood; it was just that sometimes with her lighter hair dark brown eyes didn’t go that well. She has light skin that was made possible due to avoiding any exposure with the sun at all times.
She was taller than the average height for a girl of fifteen – but she had stopped growing so she knew it was just a matter of time before others would start to tower over her. She was 70” tall, and weighed approximately 69 kilos, which average for a girl of her height. She has a large blotched dark spot on her shoulder that was a result of spending time outside. Chloris also has a scar on her little finger from fencing. Her mother had taken her to get her ears pierced when she was younger, but she only rarely puts ear rings in.
Chloris likes to dress in clothes with ruffles and laces. She wouldn’t define herself as picky, but she didn’t like skirts and shirts, just dresses. They were simpler to put on, unless you had to tie them in the back. Then they were just a mess she didn’t particularly like bothering with. She generally wears her favourite colours with her dress – black, blue, yellow, pink, and much more. It’d probably be simpler to say that she does not wear brown because it reminded her of dirt. She also has an affinity for hats and rings. She’s often found carrying one of her stuffed animals, normally Mr Fierce (a panda) or Ms Married (a single bunny looking for love.)
☆Personality☆
If you want a decision to be made, one should not go to Chloris. She may be one of the most indecisive people in the world, and it frustrates not only her but people around her as well. She weighs both sides of an issue equally, and finds an equal amount of pros and cons to a situation. This leaves her confused and unable to make a rational decision. If she can come to a decision, she is determined to see it through to the end. If she can’t, she seeks counsel from trusted friends or from respected professors. Although she has trouble coming to a clear solution, that doesn’t mean she would trust candy from strangers, no matter if the candy looked delicious or not.
Chloris is generally an easy person to get along with. She has a calm and relaxing demeanour, and although people may not calm down when she’s around, they eventually lower their voices. She’s cooperative, willing to work with anybody that needs her help – or anybody who she has been assigned to work with. Chloris’ relaxed nature sometimes leads to her being lazy. She often wishes she had telekinesis so that she wouldn’t have to walk in order to get something. But this is, of course, if she has woken up by herself. If somebody wakes her up before she’s ready, she puts snails in their bed and mud in their shower. Cranky Chloris.
She is trustworthy. This may be because due to her low stock of friends she has no one to tell. It may also be because due to her relative short memory (she envies those eidetic memory as she has to take pages upon pages of notes in her classes) and she forgets the secret about three hours later. Chloris was confident that even if she did have a good memory and a ton of friends, she still wouldn’t tell others’ secrets, though she couldn’t be sure if she was just trying to paint herself in a nice image or if she was genuine.
Loud people gave her headaches. When around a loud person, she would stay silent and stare at them with wide eyes until they got the point. If they didn’t, she would put a finger over her lips and shush them. Think back to when you were five years old and learning about “inside voices”. She didn’t want them to shut up completely because she really was interested in what most people had to say. However, there are those that she walks away from, either because they refuse to be quiet or because they don’t interest her.
She is impeccably organized. A quick inspection to her dorm would reveal that, in her room anyway, clothes were put away, her bed was always made, her stuffed animals were always on their shelf, and her desk was sorted. Chloris was decent at public speaking, able to draw on her calm nature. She found that if she spoke serenely and softly, people would shut their mouths and listen to her. It didn’t always work, especially when trying to speak to a group when the end of their class was nearing and their mind was already on that next party they would be attending. She wasn’t very well at improvisation – she had to have her speech planned, and sometimes in conversations she was holding in private she found it difficult to think of the correct words to use.
☆History☆
Chloris’ parents had a strong suspicion that she would be gifted, due to gifts being passed down in their family for generations. But no matter how hard they tried to encourage her to look within herself to discover something strange, she remained a perfectly normal little girl for the first twelve years of her life. She attended a local elementary school, known for her tidiness, cute outfits, and courteous nature. She was often encouraged into the little elementary theatre, starting off as a singing flower, and soon blooming (pun intended) into the once-planet Pluto. Her drama teacher found that no matter how adorable the girl was, she just wasn’t an actress.
Soon the girl went to junior high school and her world was changed. Used to the coddling she had received as an elementary student, she was thrown out into the world of algebra and angry teachers chiding her to do this and to do that. Due to her heliophobia (the sun burnt her easily, and her doctors said that she needed to stay inside much of her life), she suffered in her physical education classes. One particular day they were playing dodge ball inside of the gymnasium, she backed up against a wall, hoping against all hopes that her frail body wouldn’t assaulted by the rough play. Much to her surprise, she wasn’t. Much to her surprise, her teacher suddenly called out, “Did Chloris hide behind the bleachers again?” When she called out to him, they looked in her direction but not at her. She had finally achieved her greatest wish – to dupe her gym teacher. Being invisible was just cool.
The elated eleven year old girl school skipped home to tell her parents, who were relieved to find out that she wasn’t just a ‘Normal’. Two weeks later she was off to the Academy. She’s gotten along nicely here, due to her not being completely alone there. Her older sisters and brother attend, and they help her when she gets lost around school. Her sister is an empath, so she can fine tune into her sisters’ thoughts to see if she has trouble. Chloris doesn’t particularly like that her mind can be read so easily.
When she turned thirteen, she fell through a wall that she had tried to lean on. Her initial reaction was one of terror – she honestly thought that she had died in her sleep and was now a ghost (hey, she’s met dragons. Ghosts could be entirely possible). Much to her relief her brother explained that she probably had just gotten phasing. Around the same time, she realized that she could change the way she looked. Her phasing and shape shifting are still moderately weak (she can really only change her hair, eyes, nails, and freckles), but she has become better at chameleon. After all, it was kind of her favourite gift. What fifteen year old girl didn’t want to be invisible on off-days?
☆Family☆
Chloris held her family in high esteem. Her parents always nurtured their children, going to the Academy as often as they can – which was generally around three times a month – to meet their children’s friends and become acquainted with them. They were never overly embarrassing, if only for the reason there wasn’t a way to show baby tapes of their first bath. Chloris always felt that she could talk to her siblings and parents about anything that was bothering her, be it her classes or gifts. She appreciated what she was given because she knew that a lot of the students she met weren’t exactly on the best of terms with their family, or their family were all deceased. They were a stable family, and dealt with blows as they came. When Chloris’ little sister died, her family rallied together and became closer than they had been before.
Her parents weren’t total pushovers. Her father, Kieran, and her mother, Moishe, disciplined their children when they misbehaved or did something that wasn’t appropriate. This installed a relatively reliable sense of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ in their children. Or, at the very least, they didn’t try to bungee jump off the bunk beds or tie each other to trees anymore. Despite the fact that neither parents really wanted to be the disciplinary one, they shared the power equally. Kieran dealt with punishments January through 16 June, and Moishe through 17 June through 31 December. They were committed to their children and making sure that they were making safe choices and be happy when they were adults. Moishe was gifted with cellular regeneration, radiation emission, and chameleon. Kieran has gift mimicry.
Chloris has two sisters and a brother. Her brother, Zajac, was the eldest. He was gifted with eidetic memory and psychometry – which Chloris thought was kind of ironic since he hated when people complained about their lives. Her sisters were twins, their names being Abeje and Bambi. Abeje was gifted with gravitational rejection and empathic reception/projection, while Bambi had pheromone projection, enhanced reflexes, and precognition. Her siblings all attend the Academy, although Zajac will be leaving for the University soon, as he is about to graduate. Chloris is the youngest child, and often gets babied by her siblings.
Their family likes pets. Her siblings have three dogs that they have left behind for Moishe and Kieran to take care of. Chloris has a cat that died shortly before her recruitment into the Academy. She soon bought a ferret to get over the loss of her kitty. Her ferret, an albino named Possum, follows her around her dorm. She often takes him outside of her dorm. He’s usually perched around her shoulders, or scuttling around her feet. He isn’t at all ferocious, and will pad up to strangers, put his paws on their legs to get their attention, and then promptly lay over for them to rub his belly. He will yip at them if they touch his little fat pooch at the end of his stomach (Chloris can’t resist his big red eyes and his little begging face, so she tends to feed him a lot). He gets along with every other kind of animal he’s met so far. Except for rabbits.
