Ice Magess

Name: Symura
Age: 19
Race: Human?
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Silver
Height: 5’4
Weight: 120
Occupation: Ice Mage
Personality:
Symura is a spirited and willful girl, quick to anger or befriend, and drop both just as quickly. She can be rowdy and wild as a tomcat to anyone who meets her, but quick on her feet and mind. People won’t find Symura overly cordial—she doesn’t try to be polite or show proper etiquette, but she is not intentionally rude or insulting. Just unrefined, and uncaring of many things such as beauty, wealth, and wit. She has a thirst for adventure and practicing to fight, unable to dwell on one place or person because of her restless spirit. Symura is swift to adapt and enjoy any new situation she is in. She cannot see the difficulty in anything, and things that seem impossible to one person will be just another challenge to her, not that she can always overcome it, being of average wisdom and power as many others. Ever pragmatic and down-to-earth, Symura rarely worries too much about anything and just runs (and trips) on her way to greater things.
Appearance:
Symura looks two years younger than her twenty years. She has white hair, and skin that is elvish-pale. Her face is too thin, but she has dazzling silver eyes that are gray only in dim light. Her white hair is wild, falling past her shoulders in loose ringlets and soft curls, never straight, and bangs that cover her brow in soft waves. A single, gold strand curves from the top of her head to the bottom. Symura is slim bordering on slender, more athletic and lithe than curvy and buxom. She dresses all in white. A long white jacket has one side crossed over the other. Under the bodice is cinched a white sash, tied in a big bow near the back. The sleeves are floppy and would reach her small wrists, but they’re tied halfway to bare her elbows and lower arms. Her slim waist has a splendid belt around it: a foot tall and clear as ice, made in the likeness of connected snowflakes, each one different. The jacket ends under the belt where a short skirt might. Underneath the hem are baggy, white pants that narrow at the bottom. Even the sheath on her back and the sash crossed over her chest to hold it is white, with a clear hilt made of ice poking up from the top.
History:
Symura could not understand summer warmth, towering cities, and the abundant green plants. She lived in the ice plains of Salvar, where it was perpetual daylight in the summer and perpetual darkness in the winter. At least, to the young girl. She was born to the Ashia family of strange origins. Her mother was a mortal human, her father an elf. The four brothers were half-elves. Magis took after her mother: pretty, wild…and mortal.
It grieved her eldest brother most of all to watch his mother and especially his sister age so quickly, while they grew but slowly. At the age of twenty, he set out to go past the mountains in the other countries, collecting spells and searching for some magic that might grant his family immortality. He returned with a dark spell that would make both of them ‘immortal and boundless as the lands on which they stood.’ He prepared the dark spell, and performed the ritual on his mother. She went into a still, deep slumber and he foolishly did the same with Symura.
Symura turned from dark to pale, and she grew cold. Something long dormant inside her awoke, a strange power. She, too, fell in deep slumber and woke to find her mother a statue of ice, already dead and crumbling piece by piece. They had a tense funeral and Symura left her home. She had some sort of immortality, but always felt a cold that fire could only lessen slightly, and boiling water felt only lukewarm. Symura would never be rid of it, so long as she had her long life, and powers. The powers were to be able to manipulate ice in different ways, and only then did she feel warm.
Over time, one of her brothers would fall in the lake and drown, too paralyzed to swim to shore. Another would go to Fallien and die fighting in the name of the army. Only one brother remained, and her eldest brother who she no longer considered a relation. Symura had her own path to follow. She would find a powerful spell, not one of darkness such as her brother had used, to give her back her mortality and the warmth she once felt.
Skills:
Manipulating Ice – Because of a curse, Symura is able to manipulate ice. She can do this in several ways. First is gathering the moisture in the air and thickening it to turn it into ice. Another way she can gather ice is by gathering extreme cold to make ice, mostly from sucking the warmth out of the air. Also, since she is eternally cold Symura can withstand cold temperature—useful when using her own ice powers—to an extent than she can be unharmed with a cold that would usually give a normal person frostbite. Using these powers doesn’t tire Symura very much, such as making objects smaller than herself.
Making Ice Items – Symura, much like an ice sculptor, can make any item of ice. But she can also enchant ice to give it special properties. There is ice that never melts, ice that is strong as steel, ice that can resist spells, and more, eventully more effective. Symura can make other things, but just ordinary sculptures slightly enchanted to be twice as strong as regular ice, which take a lengthy time to make. Symura can create shields of ice shaped doors, resistant to minor spells and attacks but only enough to ward off one blow before getting severely damaged. She can also make ice armor, the less the easier it is to use concentration and focus to summon. Also, making complete armor would take at least ten minutes. So it’s usually pieces of armor, including a glove on her hand shaped to sharpen into claws that can cut wood.
Combat Proficiency – Symura is a novice with the sword, and specializes in the hand-to-hand combat jujutsu.
Equipment:
Symura has an ice sword strong and sharp as a steel sword. Though she cannot make un-melting items, Symura managed to have another mage do so, so it is long-lasting. This blade has the power to freeze objects. It’d be enough to freeze a mouse instantly, but it’s especially used for hitting a sword and causing it to freeze just a little. After many blows, the metal will be so brittle from burning cold that it will shatter. Due to body heat, humans are nearly impossible to freeze, but will rather feel a great cold if they’re cut.
Pack – With all the items one might have for a short trip, such as a few dishes, nap sack, food, clothes.
Dagger – Just a normal, bronze dagger.
