Name: Deryn Ravenwing
Age: 25
Race: Avian
Hair Color: Black, but when the light hits it there's a rainbow of color...
Eye color: Onyx
Height: 5'10
Weight: 132 lbs
Occupation: Shaman

Personality: Deryn is often very quiet and lost in thought, she doesn't deal with people very often anymore so she really doesn't have the best people skills. She is calm and patient and very rarely grows angry but even she has her limits.

Appearance: She's a tall young woman, she has long black hair that falls to her hips. Her skin is surprising pale for a raven, her skin like porcelin. She has a pair of large black wings, when light reflects off of the feathers it shows a myriad of colors. She's a very slender creature and easy on the eyes. She usually chooses to wear very loose cloth that she can just tie around her waist for a makeshift skirt, her tops are similar, just cloth tied about her chest. She wears many beaded necklaces with feathers.

History: She was raised in a village of healers, they didn't know where she had come from, she wasn't a harpy but obviously not human. They didn't really mind and raised her as one of her own. She taught herself to fly, she can't go very far, while they taught her many spells related to healing. She learned how to read and write from them and about many of the herbs and how to use them in healing. Another thing they taught her about are all the spirits in everything. She is trained to be in touch with the spirits and use them to help her should she need it. She left the village when she was 17 choosing to live as a traveling shaman, offering aide to travelers and villages she chances upon.

Skills: She's been trained to know many different healing spells and how to make potions to cure different ailments. She was trained to fight with her staff just in case she ever needed to defend herself. Her spirit abilities use her staff as a focal point, so it is not necessary but if she has something to focus all of her energy on then she finds that the effects are stronger. She has one skill called Spirit Transfer, what that does is transfer her into her ocelot's body. She can use it on other animals but she mainly uses it on him.

Equipment: She has her cloths that she uses for clothing and she has her staff (http://www.cynastaffs.com/wizard_staff_5.htm). Her staff is made out of a cedar root and has three stones set in it. A jasper cabochon, a smoky quartz crystal, and a black onyx cabochon. She has a bag that she uses to carry her clothing and the utensils that she would use for making those potions. 2 small mixing bowls, an rune dagger used for chopping, and six bottles to carry finished potions.

Familiar: She has an ocelot name Nayda. He is an excellent hunter, he usually hunts for her a brings dinner back for her to cook. Very strong weighs 33 lbs, so he is a fairly big cat.

Only one skill can be above average. I'd suggest you make it Healing spells, but keep in mind that she shouldn't be able to heal anything above moderate wounds, and even those not instantaneously.

Also, please elaborate on Spirit. Is her only Spirit ability the Spirit Transfer or are there others? If there are, please list them.

Lastly, please clarify on the material of the staff. It can be made from any real life wood at this point.
