Name: Mari Floyd
Nicknames: Ari, Rae
Age: 19
Birthday: April 4th, 1997
Gender: Female
Species: Angel
Category: Student
Class: College
Grade: 1st Year
College Major: Undecided
Appearance Description:
It's almost as if Ari radiates light; that's just the kind of air she emits.
Maybe it's because of her short blonde bob of hair that frames her face like a halo. It's pretty thick and smooth, and it hits her at the shoulders. As for the style, it's naturally straight but gets wavy when wet. She typically curls the ends under. The hair covering her body is too light to be detected, but she shaves it anyways.
Or maybe it's her fair, milky white skin, perfectly clear except for a brownish-red, splotchy birthmark on her shoulder. Of course, she is prone to the occasional blemish or breakout, but they're easily covered up. She takes good care of her skin and keeps it healthy-looking. It gives her an appropriately youthful glow.
It could even be her build. Lean and toned, it looks like Ari is slightly athletic. She has strong arm and calf muscles and a flat belly with the beginnings of a six-pack. All of this is packed into her short, 5’1” figure.
It's possible that it's the clothes she chooses to wear. Her style is carefree, casual, and somewhat preppy. She’s effortlessly stylish and trendy, keeping up with the latest fashion trends. Shorts, jeans, converse, boots, tank tops, sweaters. Nothing strange or different, but she pulls it off. Scarves, necklaces, and earrings are some go-to accessories of hers.
It's probably not her eyes—her dull, grey eyes, a bit too narrow, a bit too judgmental. They're as expressive as anyone else's, but there's something off-putting about them. But when you look at the big picture, one simple facial feature doesn't matter. Overall, Ari is a modern beauty with a welcoming appearance.
Personality Description:
Ari’s personality is radiating, too. She’s the type to shower you with compliments, even if you don’t want them. She’s the type to bake cookies and hand them out to everyone. Sweet. Generous. An innocent flower. She speaks lightly, but can be outgoing or loud when put into social situations. She absolutely loves people and can make small talk for hours. And she’s always smiling.
At least, that’s what she pretends to be.
It’s hard to see through the superficial mask Ari has spent years sculpting. She hardly ever takes it off to assume her real personality, either. Cracks do show, momentarily letting her inner self shine through, but isn’t that the case with any product? Truthfully, the entire persona that she projects is simply fake.
The real Ari is:
Powers:
Apathy
Ari is apathetic. Her emotions are suppressed; the emotions she does experience feel distant, although some are more vivid than others. After observing people react and feel for her entire life, she can accurately respond to others, easily feigning natural emotions. Her lack of regular emotions makes it easy to pretend to be someone who she isn’t. This also makes her immune to emotion-based powers or attacks.
Species Abilities:
Ari is an angel, a heavenly being created by some sort of god. Ari was conceived by two humans, a fact known not even she herself knows. However, due to her mother’s precarious status between holy and sinful, Ari was granted corrupt angelic gifts that developed before she was born.
Wings
Ari has a pair of decorative wings that she can make appear and disappear at will. They’re considered “decorative” because they don’t grant her any powers of flight whatsoever. While visible, they have a physical form that reaches to her fingertips. They are made of white feathers that feel soft and downy. To disappear, she wills them to fold in on themselves and shrink until they shrivel up. It's not a very attractive process, one she usually does in privacy. It's also the reason why she doesn't will her wings to sprout all the time.
Holy Radar
Ari has a sixth sense, allowing her to detect other angels and demons. Angels and demons give off different vibes, ones they typically can't control. Her radar does not override individual abilities masking holy or unholy atmospheres. Sacred grounds, such as churches or other holy sites, disturb her sense, as well as places with a strong demonic presence, like sacrificial grounds.
Healing
Ari's healing and regenerative processes naturally speed up to twice the speed of regular humans when she is in a state of intense relaxation. Such a state can be achieved by means of sleep, meditation, or calming treatments, among other things. This process cannot speed up the healing of damage inflicted by magic.
Biography:
She knelt alone in her room. A nun. Her hands, folded in prayer. A virgin. Her eyes, darting downwards toward the small bump on her stomach. A child.
Her sisters called her the next Virgin Mary. It was a gift from God, they had said. The second coming of Christ, they thought.
The truth about her pregnancy plagued her guilty conscience.
Weeks after the birth, the nun was found dead. A funeral was held. Her sisters closed the door on the noose.
Mari, named after the Mother of God. She was raised in the convent. Expected to be a pinnacle of all that was good and holy. In accordance with their wishes, she complied. She acted like the good girl they wanted her to be, and she was revered as God.
She knew that this wasn't commonplace. She knew about the vices of humanity. She knew about the world outside. Still, she turned her eyes inward and pretended not to notice. She went to mass. She read the Bible. She prayed morning, noon, and night.
She pretended that she was perfect. She pretended that she was a god. She pretended that she wasn't human. She pretended, until she got tired of it.
And then the tidal wave was unleashed. Smoking, drinking, sex, cocaine. It was all too good and they kept it from her and she wanted it so she got it. It kept her entertained for a while, and then that got boring too.
An academy wanted her. It sounded like it might be fun. She put on a smile and decided to pretend again.

Cracks do show, momentarily letting her inner self shine through, but isn’t that the case with any product? Truthfully, the entire persona that she projects is simply fake.
The real Ari is:
- Manipulative and insincere. Most of her kind words and nice gestures are only to gain a good reputation. She hardly does anything that won’t benefit herself in the long run.
- Moody. Waking up on the wrong side of the bed spells trouble. When she’s in one of her moods, she gets angry and destructive in private. In public, she’ll just appear quieter than usual.
- Irritable. Ari is easily irritated by the most insignificant things, such as a misunderstood side comment.
- Attention whore. She loves it when the spotlight is on her.
- Hates attention. Sometimes, she doesn’t want anyone to so much as glance at her. Because of her conflicting feelings, she is very fickle.
- Addict. She easily becomes addicted to things, like smoking, drinking, or doing drugs.
- Non-committal. It’s hard for her to commit to things with long-term effects, such as a relationship or a college major.
- Social. Being around people and, especially, observing people is one of her favorite things to do. She readily jumps into any activities that might be entertaining. She can be pretty charismatic if she wants to, and she’s adept at speaking to others.
- Observant. She notices small details about people, places, or things and remembers them.
- Intelligent. Her grades are all A’s and B’s. She easily picks up on school topics and sets aside a few hours for homework. Still, she tries not to overwork herself.
- Quick. She’s witty and good at thinking of things on the spot.
- Agnostic. Just because she’s an angel doesn’t mean she’s religious. She doesn’t believe in god, but she acknowledges the fact that there could be a higher being out there.
- Adventurous, in more ways than one. She enjoys wandering and exploring, especially quiet places surrounded by nature. Some of her favorite refuges are in the woods or other secluded areas, where she can be alone for a while. She’s also open to trying new things, be it food, activities, etc.
- Doesn’t give in to peer pressure. Any decision she makes is made of her own free will. She is her own person and isn’t easily persuaded into doing things she doesn’t want to do.
- Malleable. Ari can quickly switch personas because her actual personality is flimsy and lacks substance. Changing characters is a source of entertainment for her.
