Name : Gloria Eugenia Sandoval
Age :23 24 25
Birthday : December 20th
Gender : Female
Nationality : Spanish
Category : Staff / Villain / NPC
Appearance Description : Gloria stands at six feet and four inches tall. She has shoulder length caramel colored hair, tanned skin, and golden colored eyes. There are freckles across the bridge of her nose.
Gloria normally wears a crown of flowers in her hair at all times. Occasionally, the flowers change but they normally always include gladioli. She prefers wearing light, free flowing dresses in pastel colors, with or without sleeves. She does not easily feel the cold, so she will often wear summer dresses even in winter. If it's nearing the middle of winter, though, she'll start to wear more appropriate clothes.
Personality Description : Naturally loving and gentle, Gloria has a motherly personality and often acts so warmly that it seems like butter would just melt in her mouth. She thinks of herself as wise beyond her years and sees the world and everybody in it as her child. She hates seeing people in pain or disagreement with each other and always tries to be the calm head and peacemaker in tumultuous situations.
It seems like Gloria has an endless supply of patience, probably stemming from the fact that her view of the world is remarkably warped. While she does see the world as a beautiful, sugary place, and does have a very idealistic mindset, Gloria often mentally sets herself up as being higher than the people around her. If people do not respond to her kindness the way she wants them to, she will go out of her way to manipulate them into doing as she wants. She is ruled by the delusion that she always knows better than other people and will not admit to fault easily, although it is more likely she will if nobody else tries to needle her into it.
At the same time, however, Gloria is very law abiding and quick to take responsibility. The problem, however, is that she never perceives an action as being complete until it has reached the conclusion that she wants it to. Therefore, if something goes badly, even though she takes responsibility for it, she will not feel any remorse because she will think that she can fix the problem. In other words, she feels that the end justifies the means.
Major Power : Green Necromancy - Gloria can control dead plant matter and essentially create plant zombies that have a degree of sentience. This sentience, however, is usually equivalent to that of a dog or a cat. The simplest and most common of her constructs usually resemble living plants, but with a noticeably withered look. When touched, they will often give a slight physical response and not be violent unless she expressly orders them to be. Occasionally but not too frequently, Gloria creates more complex constructs which can look quite monstrous. The older the construct, the more powerful it is. However, Gloria cannot reanimate plant matter which is so decomposed that it is now dirt. She needs something more solid to work with than that.
How this power works is like this: as plants die, their life energy mostly disappears but leaves behind an empty space that Gloria's power can refill. In this way, she can gain control of the dead plant matter and cause it to act as an extension of her own will, with some freedom of their own. This freedom, however, is very much an illusion and is simply the result of Gloria not focusing as much attention on that particular construct.
Gloria is able to sense the movements of her own constructs since they are filled with her magic and get a sense of what they are feeling. She is also able to sense dead plant matter around her because the empty spaces in their natural energy will start to pull on her magic. If she does not pay enough attention to this, then she will sometimes accidentally create new constructs without meaning to. It is possible for Gloria to also accidentally destroy constructs through negligence, since a little of her power is constantly leaking through the empty spaces. She needs to constantly give more power to her constructs to keep them running, although her magic does regenerate faster than they get rid of it.
All of Gloria's constructs are extremely susceptible to fire, no exceptions. Though her oldest constructs might be the strongest and the most filled with her power, aging just makes them even more vulnerable to this element. When constructs are destroyed, the power that was put into them will rush back to her. If her personal magic has already fully regenerated, this would be a problem. The excess power would start to attack her before rejecting her entirely. If it can't find enough matter to make a new construct, it will simply disappear.
Minor Power : Wilted Alchemy - As an offshoot of her major power, Gloria can extract the living aurae from different plants and essentially create a syrup. The flavor, color, and consistency all depend on which plants she used. Once this aurae is created, Gloria cannot use the now dead plant matter to create constructs. If she tries, the new empty spaces will reject her magic. She can, however, put her magic into the aurae syrup.
When others ingest this syrup, they become compliant to her will. The degree of this compliance depends on how much of her power is now in that person's body and people will not become compliant if the syrup merely makes contact with their skin. As with constructs, her magic will not remain in that person for long as their body will constantly reject it. If she keeps feeding them a steady supply of this syrup infused with her magic, it will start to act like a drug and have remnants of her power build up over time.

Biography : Gloria was born the eldest child of a small family which, unfortunately, did not have the means to support more than one child. From birth, it was clear to her parents that there was something about her which was unusual and highly unsettling. However, they tried to look past this and decided that they would raise her to the best of their abilities, optimistic that she would be able to lead a normal life. Her twin, they sadly sent to live with their paternal grandparents, thinking that it would be better for everybody.
However, while Gloria thrived in a loving family environment, she never really seemed to develop as a normal person. As a child, she was already unnaturally calm and gentle, which her parents appreciated but were also worried by. Content and friendly, she still never seemed to make real friends, choosing instead to hold herself at a distance for reasons that nobody could understand.
Mindful of this gulf between herself and the world, Gloria was slightly taken aback to see her grandparents turn up on her thirteenth birthday. And with them was her mirror image. Despite their displeasure, her parents finally explained to her that this was her younger twin sister, whom they had sent away just after birth. Shocked by that, and suddenly wondering if her aloofness had all along been the result of feeling incomplete, she began to feel real anger towards her parents for the first time.
But she kept quiet about it and instead concentrated more on the fact that she now had a sister. Though the two of never became especially close over the years, communicating primarily through the internet, their relationship came to resemble something like a friendship due to mutual respect. Gloria, for one, immediately loved her sister yet was unable to understand how aggressive she could be. The differences between them certainly kept them apart but at least they weren't strangers.
Very soon after this meeting, Gloria's unnaturalness began to intensify as strange occurrences began to happen around her. She began to be more in tune with the world -the decomposing one. While others reveled in living nature, she turned her attentions to the wilted patches and came to make them her own. Though she kept this discovery from her already suspicious parents, she admitted it freely to her sister. And in turn, when her twin discovered her own powers, Gloria was the only person to know.
Eventually, after the sisters had both finished their education, they decided to escape the prying eyes of their family and came to Manta Carlos island.
