Raella Laurie
Age:
21
Birthday:
2 Janurary
Gender:
Female
Species:
Demon
Category:
Citizen
Standing at a height of 170, she isn't exactly that tall. She has bat wings which could easily be twice her vertical height when fully extended. This length is probably necessary since her mass of 60kg isn't exactly light per se. She also has a tail which extends to around a meter in length that ends with a sharp spike. Raella isn't human but she does have features which somewhat resemble a half Korean: small golden eyes, an asian-like stature, and jet black hair. Usually, Raella would be seen wearing a plain onyx knee length dress. While she does enjoy dressing up every now and then, Raella is content with wearing that dress daily.
Raella is generally an outgoing person who enjoys interacting with other people. She believes in her own values and will not bend nor change for anyone she doesn't respect. She wishes to portray herself as someone who only participates in situations if she benefits however her care for her friends forces her to go against this, making her willingly help those precious to her. She often finds herself trying to hide sorrow and pain so as to not appear vulnerable. Once she gains respect for an individual, she'll remain loyal and devoted to that person be it in a friendship or a relationship; no amount of bribery can sway her. Though she isn't exactly selfish, she values money and other valuables a lot and refuses to spend it on anything unnecessary. (But for some reason, donating money to the old ladies who don't have a home to return to is an excellent way of spending money). Once she sets her eyes on a goal, she would strive for the best; falling short is not an option. It's all or nothing. Though Raella struggles with responsibility herself, she will not tolerate those who run from it and will lose all respect for them. She firmly believes that one should never toss aside their responsibility such as studies or work which explains why her grades are generally above average.
However, that being said, Raella seriously dislikes confrontation and will do everything in her power to avoid it. Even knowing full well that it might lead misunderstands and miscommunications will won't convince her to confront anyone. Hence if she dislikes anyone she either doesn't show it or portrays it in a very passive aggressive way. The few times she confronts people, she would come off as cold and unemotional; not a surprise since she tends to distance herself and calculate her actions once she feels she's getting too emotional.
Raella flirts a lot even though she isn't sure if she wants a relationship at the moment. Flirting is her number one facade and she often uses it to escape talking about her insecurities. Moreover, under that smooth tease which she aims to be portrayed as, Raella is actually very awkward and unsure of how to interact with others considering that she has been in isolation most of her life.

Illusion
At complete mastery, Raella would be able to manipulate a large crowd's touch, smell, sight, sound and taste. She would be able to bend their senses to her will however, since everything is an illusion, nothing would happen in reality. Currently Raella is still trying to master this and can only manipulate up to 15 people's senses. If she wants to increase the number of people, she wouldn't have perfect control of all their five senses. For example, if she wants a class of 40 to experience rain, she would only be able to project visual and sound effects and can't enable them to feel the raindrops. Large scale illusions would take up a lot of energy hence Raella prefers to use this ability for small pranks instead. If she’s creative enough she could use this ability to inflict damage such as making someone walk off a cliff. Illusion magic also gives her the ability to cast an illusion of unlimited pain but that too would require a lot of energy.
Another kind of illusion magic is the ability to cast illusions on objects itself instead of having to manipulate a person's senses individually. This takes much less energy and Raella often uses it to conceal her wings and tail from normal humans.
Manipulating blood
Well, her own blood to be exact. Her blood can morph into different kinds of weapons such as swords or spears. It can also become as corrosive as acid. She can also solidify the blood to form objects to lift things (like chairs of platforms). She can lift up to 200kg and can control blood within a 10 meter radius. The drawback is that even though she has more blood than an average human, she only has a fixed volume of blood in her body. If she overuses this ability she’ll die or fall unconscious. At one point of time, she can use up about 80% of the blood in her body before she'll fall unconscious (which will be around 7 liters) She can also store blood for later use in solid form (5 liters maximum)
Summoning
She’s a demon of course she can summon things! It can be anything, really, but nothing too large (smaller than a car). This is especially useful for when she loses her wallet. Just draw out a blood circle, chant a few lines and her wallet would be “returned”. Essentially this could also be known as a really, really troublesome form of teleporting things to her since it requires preparation. That’s another catch; the more important the summoning, the more preparation it needs. Summoning a living person could require days of preparation and pages of chants but a simple item would only require 5 minutes or less. She can also utilise summoning to summon herself into another area provided that she has been there before hand to complete preparations.
Although the magic circle would usually disappear after a normal summoning, if Raella summons herself, the circle would remain reusable. (How convenient for her.)

Heightened senses
Being demon, Raella has sharper senses as compared to humans. She’s able to spot the outline of large objects in pitch darkness but smaller ones would be a challenge. While humans can only hear up to 20khz, she can hear up to around 40khz. This probably makes her despise loud crowds and parades.
All these lines!!
Raella is able to see threads of magical energy. The denser the lines, the more concentrated the magic. Hence when she uses illusions or summoning, she’s essentially bending the magic in the area and weaving the threads together to create her own magical field. This passive is very useful in spotting people who are more powerful than herself so she won’t necessarily anger them.
Fluffy to the rescue!
Fluffy, a black cat familiar would provide Raella with quicker recovery. Raella can replenish her blood overnight and can heal from non life threatening wounds within a few days. Major injuries such as losing a limb would only be able to grow back after half a year.
However, a cat will always be a cat; Raella does not have the ability to summon Fluffy and it will come and go as it pleases.
Longevity
Demons tend to live ten times longer than humans. She’ll age like a normal human until young adulthood which is when the growing would proceed at a snail’s pace.

I can’t stand religion
Crosses and the bible would burn her skin upon contact and generally makes her uneasy. She would also lose about half her power if it’s within a 5 meter radius. Divine beings have no effect though, it’s just the religious objects which tend to ward her off.
Sacrifices must be made
Every a half year Raella has to conduct a blood sacrifice to refuel her magical and life energy. The process involves slaying a wild animal and either devouring it or placing its carcass over a magic circle. If she’s unable to hunt for 3-6 months, she’ll lose all magical energy and disappear. The more she uses her magic, the more often she would require sacrifices.

Common Magical Items:
None
Born and raised by the seaside, Raella found comfort in the familiar aroma of the ocean. Although she could still recall countless joyful memories of frolicking by the sea, there's one memory which would follow shortly after - her mother's suicide. Despite being aware of her parent's strained relationship from a young age, never did it cross her mind that her mother would end up taking her own life. Throughout her childhood, she felt lost and unsure of what to do in future but after that incident, she decided to chase the dreams her mother never could - to open a salon. It was a faraway dream but one she intends to achieve before she passes.
Following the death of her mother, her father became increasingly emotionally unstable. It was around that time when she received an offer to attend Starlight Academy. Figuring that the both of them should spend some time on their own, her father agreed to send Raella there and offered cover all her expenses.

Her family doesn’t have many financial problems so she has an average amount of money. She also has a few pieces of jewelry which belonged to her mother and a house to return to but she resides in an apartment in Manta Carlos city. She also has a black cat named fluffy who was one of the many which decided to follow her home.
