Personality:
Natasha tries to be a happy person. She covers up a past life with messing with others, may it be playing fancy word games or weird messages. She tries to leave people guessing. Her taunting smile always glares with a happy or angry "no."
History:
She wasn't born with any sort of magical power or desire. Her family was a family of slaves, own by a hidden Russian Communist slave ground. They wer all owned by a family of wealthy mage under the family name of Romanovna. This family was the last of the remnants of the Russian government that institued the building of the Road of Bones. Natasha's grandparents were slaves that died building the Road of Bones, so the legacy continued.
Ice mages ruled over the fire mages in power, but each had their weaknesses of each other. Natasha was never a slave until she accidentally discovered someone had such power. It was then at the age of 8 when she was sold into slave labor. She would be asked to do various tasks. A simple task was to create uniforms, all grey jump-suits. The slaves were considered not fit to wear these, but all of the Russian citizens were forced to wear them. One of the more difficult tasks was that all of the slaves, regardless of who they were, were forced to build monuments to the hidden Russian cults and to dig large tunnels underground. These tunnels would later be used to smuggle things that came from the black market, which later was stopped by the US government. If Natasha was not obedient, she was beaten, raped, and tortured until she complied and continued her task. Even if she did comply, the slavemasters took joy is their sadness.
For seven years, she was a slave. During that last year when she was 15, an escape was planned by a crafty group of slaves that were rather strong and rather fast. They were more able to pull it off. They used the tunnels, and dug side tunnels in their spare time when the slavemasters weren't looking. They eventually dug a tunnel large enough to reach north Mongolia. There, they were caught. The Russian border guards were waiting. All of the slaves would pay the ultimate price. They were branded with a Firebrand. They would be endowed with minor fire powers, but would be doused by the ice mages. This magic fire power would only make them weak against the ice mages. Hunreds of them at a time were tied up and dunked in, head first, into pools of freezing cold water. Natasha watched every last one of them. The guards knew her well, and saved her for last. Natasha had already been losing her mind from seeing so many people die just watching the slave labor, and then some while watching their bodies fry and drown.
When it was her turn, she fell unconscious. Her bodily functions shut down, mostly. When she was dunked, she didn't breathe much. The bodies were piled up in the slaves' escape tunnel they tried to secretly build. She eventually woke up a few days later, hungry, weak, broken. She actually made her way out because by the time the slave execution was finished, the United States declaired war against Russia. This in turn erupted into World War III, also involving North Korea and Iran. She was finally free, and took her middle name as her last name, but was constantly escaping their normal Russian government, which was quite strict. Natasha would be scarred with such a fear for the rest of her life that when triggered properly, she would fall into a transe like she had back at the slave grounds.
She escaped to France, where a group of Arch Mages held their ground. She was tracked down, because of her immense glow in her magical spirit. She thought it was another slave run. She ran until she was caught, and then listened and obeyed, which was the only thing she knew how to do by now. To her surprise, their were good people. They gave her as well as other aspiring mages shelter, clothing, and food. She was also given special training to refine her fire magic, which was a sin in most European countries. After a time, one of the Arch MAge sdiscovered she had a hidden power for ice magic. It wasn't something she could hardly do at all, but she wanted to know. She was hesitant to go, because she would have to be transferred back to Siberia, which lies in south Russia. It was then where her fear kicked, and she collapsed, unconscious. While unconscious, she was taken to the hidden cult in Siberia which is where ice magic was said to have been taught the best in the world. Her studies did not elude her, and she eventually was told about the Arcane Academy, a school located on a floating isle. There was nothing more she could learn at a school with mages that practiced the same type of magic. The Arcane Academy was a wonderful mix of all kinds of mages. Natasha couldn't wait, because there she would find such a power. She felt as if she was to take revenge against her home country. She felt that if she didn't do anything, her suffer and torture would taunt her in her mind forever.
Style:
Pyrexian: A mix of fire and ice attacks, causing quite a bit of damage to the skin as well as the internal organs. Fire, as you know it, burns through slowly, while ice cuts through with a chill sensation that feels like a burn.
Strengths:
Natasha is not strong physically, but is very decisive at times, and protective of her emotions.
Weaknesses:
Fear: Natasha has a traumatizing history. It creates a great fear for her just having to think about it, which in turn creates more fear for her in the present day. She can regularly think about her past, but there are certain things that trigger her to relapse into this kind of fear. (Note: This is a major disadvantage for her. When triggered, this fear puts her into an unconscious transe. Her muscles go compeltely limp, causing her to instantly drop).
Spell List:
Chiblain Catalyst: A sequence of spear-shaped objects made of i
ice from the water in the air form. Depending on the humidity, more or less of these objects can be created. This spell is the jumpstart for most all of Natasha's use of ice magic. (Spells with * require this spell before use. This is a rather quick spell to use, but it takes time none the less).
*Equinox: A series of simple fire magic attacks mixed with crushingly painful attacks from her ice magic.
*Winter's Kiss: A devastating attack, the spears of ice used from the catalyst spell seek the enemy's head.
Pyrexiah: Natasha's signature spell. Streams of flame sear through her body. This is a very damaging attack for both Natasha and her enemy, and whoever may be nearby. With use of most of her mana, the heat energy created by her flamboyant glow melts away at the enemy's spirit, rather than causing a physical pain. To the contrary, its affect is lessened by the enemy's ice magic.
Roar of the Balrog: Using her staff, Natasha creates a series of barriers with fire magic.
Weapons/Gear:
Sword of the Gales: A sword that creates Natasha's third element of magic, wind. The oxygen from the wind feeds her fire magic and brings a wind chill to her ice magic.
Phoenix Staff: A staff used to create barriers and reflection shields.
Items:
Note:
Some of her magic requires a certain preparation, hint, wink, cough.
