[[no]NEMO[one]]

Name:
Ashelia (Ashe) Ichihana
Age:
18
Gender:
female
Grade:
fifth year
Living Arrangements:
39

Appearance:
Ashe has chin-length jet black hair with golden streaks, creamy light tan skin, and white gold eyes. She wears a low-cut, white 'sleeveless' top that is slit up the middle (to crop length); the fabric in front ends at about her waist, and, in back, ends just a few inches above the knees-- the shirt is slightly tight around the bust, and has a silver metal strip around the top hem. Underneath the white part of the shirt is a navy blue 'sash' of sorts, which appears to be made of leather and apparently buckles around mid-abdomen-- this piece is cut to have about two inches of fabric before the start of a slit above the belly button, where the fabric is split in a sort of rounded triangular shape. Ashe also wears light blue jeans that are tucked into tall navy boots-- the boots have a folded over top that displays a delicate, intricate golden design with a white background.

Her upper arms are covered by arm bands of the same fabric as her shirt with silver metal 'cuffs' at the top and bottom-- the 'cuffs' show off her shoulders and cover her elbows. On her wrists, held on by a single strap, are silver metal 'wrist guards' that cover most of the back of her palm and part of her lower arms. She has a simple silver band on each of her ring fingers, and has obsydian stud earings. Ashe is frequently seen with some sort of flower or blosom tucked behind her ear or into her out fit somewhere-- she only ever has one flower, which many believe is a subconscious reaction to her last name (Ichihana-- 'one flower').
Power:
+ Ashe can manipulate a mysterious 'entity' known as Myst, allowing her to perform powerful magical attacks, sometimes in quick succession. Her favorite attacks are Heaven's Wrath, Evanescence, Element of Treachery, and Shatterheart.
+ She is able to weild many magical weapons, and is trained in archery, swordsmanship, gunplay, and crossbow-archery.
+ Ashe can perform healings and create spectacular magic-nulling 'shields' of light IF she has an item she calls the Dawn Shard-- she claims she can do similar things with other stones called 'magecite', but it's not as powerful as with the Dawn Shard.
Curse:
n/a
Picture:
N/A, but, if you want a better idea of basically how she looks, look up a picture of Ashe from Final Fantasy 12
Personality:
Ashe is strong-willed and can be a bit rebellious-- if she thinks something is wrong, she will fight against it, usually in an ambiguous manner. She doesn't take well to people trying to boss her around, and will often refuse to follow directions no matter how dangerous the consequences. Ashe is very protective of those she cares for, and is often quite devistated if something happens to someone she loves. She is also witty, and enjoys getting into 'insult wars', but only with people she thinks are worthy.
History:
Ashe was suspended-- and eventually expelled-- from a previous school for attempting to create a student 'resistance' to the 'dictatorship' of the school officials and staff. Since then, her father has been worried that she'll try something like that again, but on a larger scale, which could endanger his job in the government.
When Ashe was born, her mother died, leaving only Ashe and her father. Before she was born, her mother had planted an ash tree in their yard-- her mother had also been blind, leading her father to name their daughter Ashelia-- a cross between Ashely (ashe tree valley) and Shelia (blind/blinded).
Ashe's father was very close to his daughter when she was younger, but lost touch with her as she grew up and entered high school. It wasn't until her first year of high school that Ashe began showing off her rebelious side, and her father has been trying to understand why she suddenly became so anarchistic.

IC:
"Ashelia, try to behave this year. Please," her father begged over the phone, Ashe rolling her eyes as he spoke.
"I'll be fine, Dad. Don't worry about it," she tried to convince him.
"Promise me," he just wouldn't give up.
Ashe sighed. "I promise."
"Alright, then," her father didn't sound like he quiet believed her. "Well, I'll see you over break,okay? We'll do something fun."
"Okay..." Ashe couldn't help smiling a bit.
"Buh-bye, sweetie."
"Bye, dad." With that, Ashe hung up the pay phone, heading off towards her new school..

Other:
The Myst is not exactly living, not exactly nonliving, and follows Ashe around like a shadow or maybe a low fog. You can usually tell that Ashe is about to enter a room by the sight of the Myst flowing into the room through cracks around the door.
She has never been arrested for any length of time, but she has been threatened with arrest if she ever displays anarchistic behavoir again.
She isn't technichally blind, but her eyesight isn't quite as good as most average gifteds'-- but, it's still better than an average non-gifted's.
