Appearance Description : Kyriakí̱ appears to be a normal human girl of five feet and seven inches tall. She has tanned skin, very white teeth, and very light brown eyes. Her hair is long, wavy, and dark blonde. The build of her body is big but not fat. It just genuinely seems as if she is big boned. The first impression that people get of her is that she is immensely, although not inhumanly, beautiful.
Kyriakí̱ normally wears a light blouse with long pants. Most people are too distracted by how she looks to take much notice of what she is wearing.
Personality Description : Kyriakí̱ is a flirt, with a tendency to seem airheaded and bubbly. She is easily distracted by things occurring around her and often is quick to stick her nose into other people's business. She doesn't like to talk too much but once even the slightest reason crosses her way, she'll easily spill everything. Despite her sometimes flirtatious manners and interest in others, she does not often form any sort of romantic relationship, although she is eager to be noticed by those with exceptional looks. Kyriakí̱ is a shallow person who is admittedly not the sharpest tool in the box but has the potential to be a decent friend. Probably not too much of a good one, though. Sometimes, however, she can be quite predatory in personality and hostile towards others, especially males. Few people know the real reason for this but it is in fact connected to her powers.
Power: Pythian Mantis Curse - Kyriakí̱ has been under the effects of a curse all her life. Though she often looks like a normal human girl, the reality is that the image is only a thin veneer disguising her true form. Due to the curse, Kyriakí̱ has the physical characteristics of a praying mantis, and sometimes the habitual tendencies of one as well. Her skin is naturally tan colored, with a black spot on her upper inner arms, which are raptoiral and spiny. Her eyes are beige colored compound ones and she has dark brown long antennae in the center of her forehead. She does not have any hair. However, she does have wings, two sets of them -forewings which are attached to her shoulder blades and hindwings which are attached to the middle of her spine. The forewings are opaque and smaller while the hindwings are larger and translucent. Kyriakí̱ is only capable of flight if she sheds enough of her human form for her wings to be visible, but it is almost impossible if she is wearing restrictive clothing.
She is also possesses the ultrasonic hearing and exceptional eyesight of praying mantises in both forms. However, her hearing is quite an issue for her, to the point where she is unable to distinguish sound sources at all. Normally, she seals her ears with wax to keep the sound out. Because of this, she is normally hard of hearing. To those who are unfortunate enough to find out, her teeth are quite sharp and her grip is quite strong. Her reach distance, however, is very short. Every part of her body except for her arms are extremely vulnerable to injuries. She does not bruise. Rather, she goes straight to bleeding.
Enchantment : In addition to the curse, Kyriakí̱ has two powerful enchantments placed on her which allow her to assume a human form.
First Enchantment : Transformation - This causes Kyriakí̱'s entire skin to become a soft chitin that can effectively cover up the appearance of her real body. This makes it appear that her eyes are somewhat normal and sheathes the slight spikes on her arms. It also causes her wings to be pinned to her body so she is unable to fly if the chitin is not lifted. The reason for Kyriakí̱'s youthful appearance is because the chitin naturally mimics the looks of a normal human at the same age as when she was when she first received the enchantment. Altering her appearance is the only thing that this enchantment will do, and she can only change into a single appearance. The chitin is also quite easy to penetrate and rather painful to regrow.
Second Enchantment : Beauty - This is exactly what it sounds like. As long Kyriakí̱ is in human form, she will always look beautiful to everybody who looks at her. Since this is placed over the first enchantment, it will not work for Kyriakí̱'s true form.
Birth Place / Hometown : Delphi, Greece
Father : Unknown
Mother : Unknown
Sibling(s) : Unknown
Biography : Kyriakí̱ does not know who exactly her parents are or even if they are still alive. She was raised in a secreted community near Delphi, which consisted of many people who had badly affected by the supernatural, including curses such as her own. Her surrogate father was a Greek Orthodox priest, from whom she took her patronymic and surname. It was from him that she learned that her curse was probably both unbreakable as well as hereditary.
Kyriakí̱ had a relatively stable and normal childhood, although the attentions of her father figure were split between her and several other children. However, in her late teens, she went out exploring in the ruins at night and found a mysterious, battered iron ring. It was a kind of ugly thing but she kept the trinket anyways simply out of curiosity as well as a trophy from the outside world.
Within a year, though, Kyriakí̱ discovered that what she had found was a magic ring. As she was wearing it one day, she made the idle wish that her appearance would change to look like a human's -and to her astonishment, it happened. Almost immediately after the first enchantment had fallen into place, Kyriakí̱ made her second wish -that her human form would always look beautiful. To her delight, that occurred as well.
In excitement, she brought the ring back to the priest and while he could not identity what the magic on it exactly was, he could see that it functioned very much like a genie's lamp. There might have been a capacity for more wishes than the usual three to have been fulfilled but if there was, it seemed like somebody else had already used the others up. After having brought it to a number of experts on magical artifacts, Kyriakí̱ was told that there was only a little bit of magic left on the ring, just enough for one more miracle.
Being advised to save the remaining magic, Kyriakí̱ did so, keeping the ring with her for several more years until the priest became ill. He was an old man at that time and worrying over his health, Kyriakí̱ decided to use the last of the magic to make him well again. To everybody's relief, it seemed to have worked. Kyriakí̱ kept the ring as a reminder of how glad she was for it having saved his life.
As more time passed, the community that Kyriakí̱ was raised in could no longer keep itself hidden. It was found but thankfully, the discovery was made by other people with magical or supernatural abilities. They were graduates of Starlight Academy. Seeing her as a child, these people offered to refer her to the school for further education, which she was quick to accept in order to see more of the world.
So just months later, Kyriakí̱ arrived at Manta Carlos Island. However, unknown to her, the iron ring that she carries still might have just a little bit of power left to it...
Additional Information : Since Kyriakí̱±'s mantis form is hairless, she also does not have hair in her human form. Instead, she must wear a wig which is carefully kept in place by her chitin.
The iron ring that Kyriakí̱ found is usually kept in a chest in her dorm room. It does have enough magic for one more miracle to be granted, because the last wish that she had used was invalid. The ring will only make genuinely selfish wishes come true (to a point). The priest had gotten better on his own.
Other Information :I have no plans for the ring and never will. It exists solely as a backstory device and to be either lost or handed over to somebody else. And if it gets handed to somebody else, it had better be used for something stupid and trivial.
