Primary Kueria

Kueria stands at a mere height of 157cm, a fitting stature for her young and juvenile complexion. She sheaths herself in a white dress that falls to her knees and fades into various pinkish tints. Her eyes are hues of amethyst and midnight swirled together with the slightest touch of a white luminescence. It’s almost as if the whimsical, enigmatic, imperial essence of twilight condensed itself into the sphere of her pupil. Her wings are like that of a sunset; magenta, lavender and tangerine battle in a riot of vibrancy at the arch of her wing but eventually settles in a gentle gradient which fades into pure white. In her petite fae form, her wingspan stretches to around a meter in length, barely brushing past the curve of her hip when folded behind her back. Kueria’s posture often portrays that of a welcoming confidence: her flat chest ever so slightly puffed out, shoulders sloped in a gentle and relaxed manner and wings politely tucked behind the arch of her back. Rose pink hair frames her unblemished face and falls gracefully in a slight curve right before her shoulders.

As a bird however... This petite young woman can be much, much more sinister. Her pupils are that of slits, almost as if she was calculating or perhaps scouting the land for prey to viciously devour. That being said, if one searches earnestly enough, there is the slightest spark of a mischievous glint right in the corner of her eye. Her wings are dyed similarly to that of when she is a fae. Soft, snow like feathers adorn her rather substantial build as if she was a vibrantly pink mingling cloud in the backdrop of clear azure sky. Her wingspan stretches to a vast 10 meters in length while she herself proudly stands 3 meters tall.

Kueria is a big dumb bird. When she is not engaged in conversation, she can often be seen staring into blank space, her impassive gaze emptier than the void itself whilst her body remains stiller than a marble statue. However, once she begins to interact with those around her, she simply cannot stop the cascade of words from escaping her lips. After all, she is bubbly, non-judgmental and welcoming at heart... it's that she just happens to lose focus way too much for her liking. At first she was frustrated at the fact that she couldn't stop spacing out but she ended up taking it into her stride and embracing it as part of her personality - and she can only hope that others would do the same.

When angered, Kueria subconsciously switches her personality to one that has a cold, non-confrontational but passive-aggressive nature. Her tone rings cold and harsh, fiercer than the winds of a tsunami, her words untactful and built to destroy and her gaze penetrating straight to the soul like a lance impaling flesh.

Her morals are not white nor black but tinted in various shades of grey. Having spent a millennial being nothing more than a mindless bird, she has long lost touch on what is considered as the "right" thing to do. Thus when making important decisions, she tends to base it on hard statistics and facts rather than feelings or sentiments. It is perhaps this aspect of her personality that taints her childish ambiance to become one of a heartless beast.

All that being said, she still holds tight to her childish innocence. Naive and joyful, she is easily manipulated to do other's bidding due to her strong desire for accompaniment. This also means that she holds her friends close to her and would sacrifice virtually anything to make sure they are happy. She also is very clueless and often flirts and shows too much interest without realizing or intending to at all. This could potentially lead to many misunderstandings but in the end, we are all work in progresses and Kureia is no exception.

Air manipulation
Kueria is able to manipulate the air around her in a 50-meter radius to a maximum speed of 130mp/h thus giving her the ability to send forth strong gusts of wind not quite strong enough to lift a person but sufficient to blow them a safe distance away. She can also twirl the wind in a rising tornado, create vacuums with a maximum volume of 15 cubic meters and control the flow of the air she is able to manipulate as freely as she likes. At close range, the wind she manipulates is potent and strong to provide as a suitable defense measure but as it reaches the 40m radius, the wind is not as strong and will only serve to restrict a person's movements rather than actually cause significant damage to the surroundings.

Air mastery: creation
Kueria can manipulate the air down to its molecular levels. By packing these air particles close together, she can solidify the air to form solidified weapons and objects to do damage. At close range, she can make elaborate sculptures, however, once it reaches past the 20m radius mark, only vague shapes can be made with no detailed design whatsoever. From the 40-50m mark, the objects she can create has even less detail, almost like a fuzzy grey silhouette which can only serve to push things around and act as shields rather than cut things. The weapons formed at close range would be of similar strength to steel or iron but after the 35m mark, the durability of these objects would greatly decrease to that of crystals. Kueria can control these creations around mid-air and can hurl them at targets with high speeds (same as her wind speed manipulation of 130mph) but she will lose control of these objects as this action is similar to throwing a ball. Additionally, she cannot form objects inside of people.

Bird but still fae
Kueria can shift forms from that of a bird or a fae. However, for some reason, her wings can only shrink instead of fully disappear. She is also capable of partial shifting where she shifts a part of her body into a bird. For example, she can enlargen her wings for flight or to carry heavier things in the sky. She also can change the colour of her feathers although she usually prefers to keep it at its natural bright pink hues.

Birds of a feather flock together
Kueria has the ability to understand and communicate with all types of birds given that she herself is a bird. She can also immediately identify those of the same species as herself (faes and birds). She can also feel the bird's emotions and thoughts.

Yummy yummy in my tummy
Consuming raw flesh, even that of her own would enable her to heal minor wounds or injuries in an instant while slightly more major wounds such as broken bones would take a few hours.

Very big bird = very strong bird
Both her bird and her fae form has unnatural strength and durability. Her feathers are infused with wind powers and will serve as effective armor for only a single hit every 10 seconds while her talons (a small, harmless gust of breeze can be felt as the armor dissipates) and beak could easily replace swords. Once the wind armour disappears, Kueria is left in an extremely physically fragile state. As a bird she is able to carry 500kg worth of people or items in-flight, however, the heavier load she carries, the slower she will fly.

As a fae, she has up to 70% strength as when she is a bird.

Air mastery: radar
Kueria can sense all particles in the air within the range of her manipulation. This gives her a detailed outline of her surroundings (something like a blueprint of a building) and enables her to sense the movements and placements of other people. However, the further they are, the more blur the blueprint is. For example, while a 30m radius can be crystal clear, the remaining 20m radius would be hazy, like trying to look through a fog.

Gift of song
As a direct descendent from the last of the royal wind faes, Kureia has a natural aptitude for singing. Her melodies would bring extreme euphoria to anyone close enough to hear her sing. This ability would change in accordance with her mood and is most effective while she herself is joyous. Moreover, she can create various harmless soundwaves to amplify her singing or serve as a soft background melody.

More bird than fae
As she is, after all, cursed, she can only remain as a fae for 5 hours a day before she shifts back into being a bird.

Wind karma
The more she uses her powers, the lighter she'll get as air slowly infuses itself into her bone structure. This could potentially get to a point where she is lighter than air and floats away, never to return. The only way to become heavier again is to feast raw flesh or her own prey.

Legend tells of a tale. A tale of rivalry, war and finally brutality. It was said to have taken place in a barren land that was once a lush forest but now known as the dessert of Elmwood. Trees towered well into the azure skies above, while evergreens and spruces adorned the forest floor, providing for the perfect landscape to home the ancient wind faes and high witches. All was well in the seemingly everlasting spring - youthful flowers gleamed beneath luscious sunlight while surrounding trees and bushes provided the residents with endless supplies of fruits and berries.

Then came the first of the piercing winter winds. Ugly shades of brown dominated most of flourishing forest, signalling the start of an arid era. The wind faes suspected the high witches of felony against the Gods due to their open practices of black magic. They claimed that this very act triggered the merciless wrath of the divine beings which resulted in an eternal winter. Thus began the century long war.

Born amidst a period of conflict, Kueria spent her childhood confined in the royal castle, shielded from the harsh reality outside. Her parents, the king and queen of wind faes, though busy, played an active role in her life and were the ones who first taught her about the gift of songs - a talent inherited through generations of wind fae royalty.

Not long after though, the king and queen were brutally assassinated and Kueria was sent into further confinement to commence her training. This was the turning point in her life as her emotions went down the spiral of desperation and despair, resulting in her temporarily losing the gift of song. It was then where she increased her powers tenfold and begun to wipe out small villages of high witches.

Eventually, years of fighting caused her to grow weary. The spoils of war was great and the benefits not much so. There were few surviving wind faes and most were not in fighting condition, hence the faes surrendered. Kueria was then cursed to roam the land as a mindless bird for eternity and she did... for a thousand years. In that time, she became widly known as a mystical beast whos cries bring forth ripples of joy to whoever head it and her race became nothing but a long, fading legend.

It was only recently that the remaining specks of her power was strong enough to reject the curse, giving Kueria her conscious back. She found herself alone on an isolated shore with little memories and even less power. That was all fine by her though as she spent her days interacting and befriending the surrounding birds.

Her life changed yet again when she spotted a people head onto the shore toward her. After all, most seemed to be unaware of her presence at all. Excited, she approached these peculiar beings with slight trepidation. They identified themselves as the Scouts and told her of a seemingly wondrous place known as Starlight Academy. Without a hint of doubt, she accepted their offer on the spot.

She has a small bracelet adorned with sequin silver ornamentation. That was the only piece of treasure left form her old home.
