Name: Alicia Valka
Nicknames/Titles: The Angel Princess
Age: Over 1,000
Age Appearance: 17
Race: Originally human, now looks something like an angel.
Gender: Female
Appearance: Her hair is golden, actually not just one solid color. While most of her hair is a sort of dark blond, there are a very few brown hairs mixed in, as well as some slightly lighter hairs, working together to make her hair seem more golden than just a solid color could. Her eyes are a deep blue, which you would feel almost as if you could drown in... or if she's angry at you, freeze in. She is rather thin, but what little weight she has is all muscle. She moves very quickly and gracefully, and she always seems to have purpose in every one of her movements. On her back are a pair of large white wings, which allow her to fly.
She usually wears a white shirt with what is basically a very short sleeveless black shirt over it. The sleeveless shirt has a number of black threads running across it in a series of X's, though in a uniform pattern, making it look like it is made of a number of small squares. If you look at the end of the sleeves compared to around the shoulders on her white shirt, you'll notice that it is slight wider at the end, though it is a smooth transition, not a sudden puffiness. On the wrists, it is tight, touching the skin, but there is a fringe right there. Both of the shirts have holes for her wings to go through. She also wears a dark green skirt with a red fringe which is just short enough that it won't be stepped on if she tries to run and fight in it, but not short enough to be suggestive.
Personality: She is very kind, and always has a compulsive desire to help people. She actively searches for ways to help many people, and when she runs across someone in need, she feels compelled to assist them in whatever way she can. Even though she is kind, she is very... dominant, and doesn't like it when people disagree with her, becoming rather short with them when they do. She tends to be rather blunt, and actually will rarely be tactful unless she's also trying to sweet talk someone to get something she wants. Of course, being the daughter of a politician, she is rather good at sweet-talking people when she does want to, and is very skilled at gathering information. Alicia hates it when someone acts like they're more important than others for any reason such as class, or race, or whatever. Even though she was once a noble herself, she isn't self-important in the least.
She has a serious competitive streak, and if she finds someone who is better than her at fighting, she will surpass them, no matter what, she will not give up. This may also come out in other things, but combat is the main thing she will be this serious about. She enjoys fighting quite a bit, and if she finds someone to train with, she will. She is absolutely merciless in combat, and unless she knows the person she is fighting, she enjoys going in for the kill, the swift, yet painful (for them) kill.
Likes:
Getting her way.
Freedom.
Preserving the freedom of innocent people.
Dislikes:
Those who would unjustly imprison others.
Anyone who acts like they're more important than everyone else, or like their social class/race is superior to another.
Being imprisoned, or having her freedom restricted in any way.
When people try to suck up to her or flirt with her. This is ironic because she's not afraid to do so herself if she wants something.
Greatest Fear: That she would somehow be forced to do something she refused to do.
Ambitions/Desires: To somehow make all worlds become free of suffering.
Weapons: Alicia wields a sword that fits perfectly with her fighting style. Its blade is about three feet long and very thin, nothing special... Unlike the handle. The handle is made of a smooth, off-white colored material, with a handguard that seems to be made out of gold. The bottom of the handle seems to be made of gold as well. In the center of the crossguard is a sapphire that shines beautifully when the light strikes it. This sword seems to have no weight whatsoever when she wields it, making it even easier for her to use it with extreme precision.
Abilities and Fighting Style: Alicia usually likes to attack up close, with fast and incredibly precise, but not very powerful, sword strikes. She also has some power with light magic, and is able to materialize small projectiles to throw, or can make her sword glow with this power and send shockwaves of light when she swings. Her power with this is far from unlimited however.
Alicia is able to use special songs to affect her allies and enemies, choosing who is affected. While singing, the effects only extend to fifty feet around her, while at the end, there will be a period of power for about ten minutes (apart from the song of light, which is longer) where in addition to the power being increased, the range will be as well, to about three hundred feet.
Song of Light
During the song, Alicia is able to use her light abilities without expending energy. Once the song has finished, she can use this power at quite a bit more power without using energy for an hour afterward, even while singing other songs. If she has other allies who use light magic as well, this will also affect them if she chooses.
Song of Healing
During the song, any wounds Alicia and her allies suffer will slowly heal, any small bruises or cuts disappearing nearly instantly. More severe wounds won't heal nearly as quickly, but the bleeding will slow considerably while she sings. When the song ends, all those she wishes to affect will be completely healed of any injuries (assuming they're not already dead) The final healing affects poisons and sicknesses as well, though for some reason it doesn't always work on them. Unlike the other songs, the effect at the end isn't extended, it is instant, though still incredibly powerful.
Song of Delusion
While Alicia sings this song, those she wishes to affect will feel slightly dizzy, and will see shadows moving from the corner of their eye. At the end, for about ten minutes, these effects increase, and in addition to their sight and hearing being distorted, they are quite likely to think that what they're seeing is their worst fear... Within limits. It won't make giants appear when nothing is there, but it has some unpleasant effects on the mind. They may also very well mistake friend for foe and vice versa...
Song of Power
While singing this song, Alicia and her allies will feel more energetic, and their strength, speed, and magical power will be increased a bit. At the end of the song, for about ten minutes, all of their abilities will be magnified by up to five times their normal amounts.
Strengths:
Absolutely incredible speed, several times that of what a normal human could accomplish.
Incredible precision with her movements and strikes, even at high speeds.
Considerable magical ability.
Weaknesses:
Since she generally doesn't tend to be exceptionally pleasant to someone she doesn't know well when she's not trying to get something, she can very easily get on other people's nerves.
Her dislike of self-importance is so extreme that she is not unlikely to actually START a fight over something like that. She won't kill over it, but...
She does not have enough concentration to avoid stopping singing if she feels sudden pain while she's singing, and she obviously can't keep singing if the wind is knocked out of her. She will have to start the song over, which means that its full effect will be delayed. In addition, she will be unable to resume the same song for twice the amount of time she was singing if forcefully interrupted this way. Basically, since she has to completely avoid being hit, it is extremely difficult to finish a song during combat. Not an easy task, even with her speed.
History:
Alicia was originally the princess of a country in another world. She was always incredibly talented with the sword, and pretty good with light magic as well. When she was six years old, she was attacked by an assassin, who was actually a famous warrior. She was able to win the battle, but not without killing her attacker. Unfortunately, the mere fact that she had fought this person and lived, much less won, as a mere six year old child, was enough for people in her kingdom to whisper that she was a demon.
These rumors were so fierce that her parents were forced to lock her away, for fear that the people would revolt, as for some reason, they were actually incensed enough to do. For four years, she was locked up, until something happened outside that required every soldier in the kingdom, including her guards. She actually could have escaped, but she had refused to kill the ones imprisoning her, and so she'd endured it for all that time. Now, she did escape. On the way out, she heard extremely crashing noises, and upon reaching the exit, she discovered something truly horrible.
Everything that she could see was now nothing but burning wasteland and rubble. She heard a rumbling sound behind her, and looked back to see that her prison was about to crumble... She ran away quickly, as she was still in the doorway, and managed to avoid getting crushed.
There was no sign of what had caused this carnage, but all the people were dead, and the ground scorched. Alicia decided to try to find the way to her parents' castle... Along the way, everything was just as it had been outside the prison, nothing but a scorched wasteland with rubble every once in a while, where a town used to be.
Eventually, she reached her home, which somehow had not been destroyed... Not completely anyway. The front gate was nothing but ashes, and when she went inside, everything in the hallway leading from the gate to the throne room was ashes as well, apart from a few slightly melted suits of armor.
Alicia pushed the huge double doors open with some effort, and saw... Her parents. Her father was wielding a red sword with gold on the edges of the blade, appearing to be sneering at her mother. Alicia couldn't hear the conversation they were having, but her mother looked horrified, and suddenly her father's sword lit up with flames as he cut his wife down, incinerating her even as blood splashed on the walls.
Alicia was horrified. The monster in front of her, which she couldn't believe she was related to, suddenly turned toward her, grinned, and disappeared in flames. She had a feeling that she hadn't seen the end of it...
Alicia headed to the royal treasury, knowing there was a sword there that she could use. Upon retrieving it, she headed to the tower where another terror dwelled... Hoping to find out if that one knew anything.
Alicia exhausted herself when she attempted a spell on the monstrous guards on the bottom, and when she woke up from her exhaustion-induced coma, she was at the top, with the monster she'd been seeking. He seemed to know something, but didn't explain, only taunted her. Alicia tried to fight him, but it was futile, his speed was yet more than hers. However, someone else came to intervene, and they managed to drive him to flee... The tower began collapsing however.
The two managed to escape, but they were separated, and where Alicia ended up... It was endless darkness. For a thousand years, and yet she only aged seven. She could tell that it was occasionally interrupted, someone coming in, but those times were nothing but infinite pain.
Eventually, someone came to free her. A tall young man calling himself Drake. They worked together to figure out more of the root of all of these horrors, one bit at a time... Traveling through worlds and helping against evil...
One day, Drake disappeared. Alicia, and all the other companions they'd gained since then, decided to try to find out where he'd went. She could sense that he'd gone to another world, and she tried to follow him... However, where she emerged, he was nowhere nearby, and she was missing the vast majority of her power. And now, she is alone in a world she knows nothing about... But she knows she'll survive, and find out the truth.
