Name: Excel Ophélia Marie Esprit (Esprit = Ess-pree *-French for Spirit-*)
Nicknames: La Demoiselle Esprit (Lady Spirit), Ex
Occupation: Apprentice Shaman
Nationality: French
Height: 5’2
Weight: 110 lbs.
Age: 12
Hair Color: Brown and some of her hair in front have been braided.
Eye Color: Light brown
Appearance: Excel, right when someone looks at her, you can tell she’s an absolute sweetie. She’s cute and her eyes are always bright with the hopes of an even better tomorrow. She has a small frame and she’s short, making her sometimes look a tad bit younger then twelve but nothing too drastic.
She always has the two brains in her hair but her clothing often changes. It’s always however, dresses or skirts. She’s quite feminine if not a little bit girlie, but then again, that’s what she is! A girl! Whatever she wears, it’s always going to be girlie.
Personality: Excel can be called a “Shy” girl at times. Her voice is as soft as a whisper and she’s very kind. When she is spoken too, will gladly speak back. But this depends on people. If the person is frightening, then Excel will stutter and try to back away as quick as possible. If the person is friendly or appears to be, then she will either talk back quite comfortably, or stumble on her words quite a bit.
She often tries to help others, whether it be carrying bags or mere comforting. Her only problem is she tries TOO hard to help and sometimes will refuse help from others. Let’s take carrying a heavy bag for instance. If it is too heavy for her, she’ll keep trying to pick it up and carry it and decline if the person tells her “That’s alright Excel, I’ll just carrying it instead.”. At this point she’ll say no and that she can handle it. Obviously, she can not, but once she has her mind on something there is no stopping her.
If she is forced to defend herself in any form of fighting, Excel tends to cower back and either run away or freeze up. She’s a very calm individual but she is still young and things that frighten her can easily break her calm and collected state. But, she doesn’t however, let harsh words ever get to her. She believes that no matter how cold a person, there is still good to be found in them somewhere. Very little can bring her down or get her angry. Her worst enemy would have to be herself as she tends to bring herself down at times.
Excel also comes with a slight ‘Alter’ ego. It’s sort of like a second personality however it isn’t really since this ‘Alter’ ego isn’t someone else in her head. It’s basically a huge attitude change, like a mood swing, that changes her from her sweet little persona to, a more head strong and confidant girl who acts much more maturely, is braver and is basically what Excel wishes she could be at times. But this moment occur only sometimes in different kinds of situations. This leads for her to be much bolder in battles or when it comes to defending herself.
History: Excel grew up in a normal household that consisted of all Shamans. Naturally, this is where her powers came from and all. Excel knew her family was a little odd with all those “Shamanic” things they babbled about, but she never really believed, even at the young age of six, that Spirits and ghosts even existed. Every word they spoke was madness to her but it was only natural. Excel hadn’t once called forth a spirit even less had ever seen one. Her parents knew that the first time she’d actually SEE a ghost is when they’d start speaking to her further about her power. That day…came rather quickly.
Excel was outside at twelve in the morning, swinging on her swing that was attacked to the branch of a dying willow tree. Her eyes were closed as her voice, singing out loud, echoed through the yard. The wind was blowing rather softly and the full moon provided perfect lighting and the stars shone brightly as well. Excel had been singing and swinging for a while now and soon she grew bored of the activity. Her eyes opened and she hopped off the swing simply. After her landing, her eyes slowly shifted towards the graveyard nearby. The small six year old girl decided to explore of course, no matter how creep a graveyard was. Heck, she lived with a bunch of Shamans, and as her parents they were creepy enough.
Arriving at the cemetery, Excel walked over and read various tombstones, looking at the persons name and date of birth and death and moving on to the next. After quite some time, she stopped and sat down on one of the tombstones and sighed contentedly. It was a nice night and she was glad she had decided to sneak out her window. Something about the night didn’t frighten her at all. It actually intrigued her more then anything.
Snap!
From nearby a branch broke, making Excel jump up startled. Her eyes darted from side to side until she saw a snowy white figure coming towards her straight ahead. At first, she thought it was her father, who had seen she was out of bed and found her here. But it wasn’t. How she knew? The figure, after every second step, would disappear then reappear for the next step.
Excel’s body began to tremble, her heart pounding fast as she saw the spirit coming towards her and before she knew it, her eyes rolled up and she fainted. Upon her awakening, the white spirit stared down at her and smiled softly. It was a woman. Her face was kind and Excel guessed that the spirit had watched over her while she was out cold. It was odd. The feeling of fright and nervousness disappeared and Excel smiled back at the ghost. “Did you watch over me?” she asked curiously. The spirit smiled even more and nodded. She looked back towards her house and pointed. “You want me to go back home?” Excel inquired. The woman nodded and stated to walk towards it, Excel quickly getting to her feet and following the woman back to her home.
Her mother and father had watched from inside and smiled at each other, motioning each other with a finger to their lips to not say anything about her staying up far too late for a six-year-old. Instead, they took this as their daughter’s first step to learning as whole lot more.
For a few months her parents watched her develop and tried to see just what kind of Shamanic powers their daughter had. She demonstrated a bit of difficulty when invoking a spirit and letting it possess her. Her mind couldn’t take the stress and she’d start to scream. Her parents would extract the spirit from inside her naturally, and Excel would start to tremble violently, her eyes showing the look of absolute fear. She wouldn’t try it ever again. Not anytime soon, that was for sure.
One time Excel was playing with the spirit of children she had found in an old house. She fell down and scraped her knee badly and it started to bleed. The sting hurt quite a bit and when her mother came to check on her, she found this to be the perfect time to teach her how to ask the spirits to help banish the pain and help with healing. It was a success in the end. After, however, Excel would always become very tired and want to sleep.
After a while her parents thought that this was the perfect time to send her to Arcane Academy, the very school they had attended before. Excel was sent away from France to the school where she smiled in hopes that her powers would be helped to develop further.
Style: Shamanic Powers. Excel’s Shamanic Powers allow her to channel spirits to ask for guidance and company.
Another usage of spirit would be using their energy and using it to heal small things like cuts and wounds. She also can remove any sorts of poison. She can not, however, bring a person back from the dead. She has no such skill.
With healing there can also be harm. Using the spiritual powers negatively can cause harm on others. Cuts suddenly appearing on ones body or, becoming rather ill. Not only that, but since Excel isn’t very skilled and makes mistakes, if she were to do such a thing, there are chances she could also accidentally harm herself.
Excel sometimes has dreams that give her omens to what is to come. She also knows what certain dreams mean if anyone tells her about it. She is somewhat of a fortune teller and using spiritual energy she can sort of see in a persons past, their present and/or their future. This happens without her knowing and a mere touch of a persons hand can make her see different things about the person. Unlike her parents however, she has no control over the weather yet. Weather change is something she can only learn when she is a little older.
For each thing she uses a spirit for, she needs to be taught by the spirit, their songs called icaros. Also, totem items (Like rocks) come in handy for information. She will sometimes, oddly enough, as questions to a rock.
The reason using her powers drain her, is because in order to summon a spirit or use any skill, it takes some of her own spirit energy and much concentration to do. Also, after travelling as a spirit (For Astral Projection and Healing) the soul has a supply of energy to fly around and such. After the energy is out, and tthe spirit has returned to the body, the spirit needs to refule itself in some way and so it uses the body energy she has to refule her spirit energy. (This is why if she can not get back to her body before her spirit energy runs out, Excel's soul will die.)
Strengths: Excel is very light on her feet and quite quick to boot. She is a quick little girl with a sharp mind and she can usually see and decipher attacks quite easily. She’s cool headed but if a fight is not inevitable, then she tends to run away which is why her speed is very important. If it is inevitable, Excel tends to have her mood swings and becomes quite a fighter. If no change in personality occurs, Excel becomes rather nervous and sometimes makes many mistakes whether it be casting a spell or throwing a punch.
When is comes to weapons, Excel has the upper hand with range. Her pole is quite long and against a short ranges weapon, she’d have the advantage.
Weaknesses:
Excel isn’t very strong to start with, so he hits aren’t extraordinary and her blocks are bad. If she block an attack with her body, she still gets hurt, a little less, but still enough. When put under extreme pressure, Excel can sometimes start to panic which makes her combat skills decrease quite a bit and she won’t think as straight as she can. She can’t take many hits as, she is rather frail and not built for hand to hand combat.
Weapons she is weaker against would be any kind of projectile. Though she can deflect and such, She has more difficulty against those kinds of weapons compared to any other kinds.
Spell List:[/b]
Foresight:[/b] When Excel starts to see the future past or present with the touch of a hand or belonging. She isn’t able to control when it happens and such a thing can happen at any time. Sometimes he journeys are quite frightening and can lead her to faint.
Spirit Healing:[/b] By using a spirit (Or her own) to banish “Infectious” spirits, Excel can heal small wounds and cure sicknesses. These aren’t 100% full proof however so sometimes Excel is unable to cure and will use up her own energy for nothing. But every second try usually works.
Curse:[/b] Using the energy of angry or evil spirits, Excel can curse a person or thing. Effects vary, such as inflicting internal pain, blinding (Only temporary), sicknesses and even cuts suddenly appearing on a creature or persons body. Without good control, the spell can sometimes recoil onto her, split the damage 50/50 on her and her opponent or work perfectly but harm her a little.
Astral Projection:[/b] Leaving her body behind to travel into the spirit world. She can also enter another person’s body to venture into their minds. She isn’t strong enough to possess people for long periods of time so her limit would be ten seconds. This is a way to gather information unseen or detected (Unless she’s in a psychics mind, then it is more difficult). The only problem is if she is unable to return to her body (A spell keeping her out or she is unable to make it back) Excel would die. This is why she never travels too far and makes sure she is safe somewhere.
Weapons/Gear:
A six foot long staff or pole she carries around at times like a walking stick. With a twist at the middle of the pole, a spike emerges from both tips of the pole. (Sort of like opening certain pens).
Items:
-None-
Note: Excel can also use various herbs to heal too, but using her spiritual power is much more effective. The plants can calm a fever or can be used like painkillers. Various things that work better then pharmacy pills.
