Cathaì, fairy of nature

First topic message reminder :

Name: Cathaì
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Fairy
Race: earth
Allegiance: Neutral
Origins: Magic user
Powers: Nature fairy (earth magic. Same thing better named)

Available Spells:
High level spell:
- Rock hard warrior: draw strong slates of rock from the earth up to herself to create a stone armor and shield. Will drain her magic more the longer she uses it. {magic use increases over time}

Medium level spells:
- Strenght of an oak: target (self or ally) will gain an increase in strenght and defence for a short while (minute or so) but cannot be healed by flesh restoring spells during that time
- Poisoned strike: coat the edge or tip of a weapon with a venom to cause a damage over time if target is hit. Can never kill, only incapitate

Low level spell:
- Harvest season: causes plants to grow eddable parts. Can only be used once every month per plant.

Skills that are magically enchanted (she doesn't know she uses magic):
- Silee Song: thanks to her Silee blood she can calm others by voice or by singing to them. Has no effect on Unsilee.
- deathsence: gets a shiver down her spine when she meets an animal that will soon die. She only uses it when hunting or scavaging.

Appearance:
Cathaì is slended but slightly toned in form. Her hair is of an odd pumpin orange and long. She is most often seen in forests where she loves to roam about carefree. An also very noticable thing is the black longsword she carries constantly on her back. The metal of the blade is black as the night as it is unadorned apart from a shiny ruby at the end of its handle.

Weaknesses:
1. Lack of nature will reduce her magic. The more urbanised her enviroment. The less magic she will have
2. Any technology not foolproved will be made to crash by her in an instant
3. Dislike of gold. She can't stand to see or touch it (might even burn her like silver burns a werewolf). As with a dullahan she can't touch it. Also anyone wearing even a golden pin has complete and utter protection from her sword. I'll ask anyone if he or she is wearing a gold object on them. A ring is even enough!

Strenghts:
1. One with nature: can survive in the wild with minimal supplies and even has more movement than untrained individuals.
2. Great senses thanks to her connection with nature. But when not in the wild these will vanish to normal levels
3. Martial dreams: thanks to rather vivid dreams of battlefields she knows some strikes. Pretty oldskool though

Personality:
A lot can be said about Cathaì. But one thing is sure: she's a full blood Irish gal and she lets everyone know that. Loudmouthed and very vocal she often can be heared but more often than not others have trouble with understanding even a word she says. Inside forests she's very much at ease. It feels like a home to her. Outside of forests she feels at unease as if it's a wild place full of danger. In conversation she is suprisingly simple. Allways talking about the things on topic and not changing subjects very often she gives a lot of (sometimes unwanted) natural advice. Even though she is nervous when she starts to meet other fairies she soon enough manages to make friends.

History:
Cathaì was a rather green-fingered girl ever since she was born. Her hair lively orange as her freckles added more to her clearly irish look. Over the years her hair grew longer and the freckles fanished but her interest in nature grew more and more. She started taking hikes into the woods surrounding the town she lived at.

At the age of 15 she was out in one of the forests at a moony night and decided to head deeper into the forest. Stories went that at a full moon one could see pixies dance. Little did she know that by entering the woods she passed trough an ancient shimmer barrier that made all normal persons stop, get chills and turn around. She however felt the shivers as she stepped over the small creak but also felt comfortable in the deeper part of the forest. As she headed in deeper and deeper a sudden gallop made her jump up startled. Her human scent was picked up by one of the guardians of the magical sanctuary. A Dullahan rode out to face the intruder as she stood frozen to the ground for a few moments before she started to run away as fast as she could. The rider managed easely to catch up with her and one swoop of his sword later she fell down in a small pond of water, her back cut open by his blade.
The pont however was one of the few real restoration springs where magical creatures could mend their wounds. As the water seeped into the wound the headless horseman pulled the unconcious girl out by her hear and was about to cut things short as a loud voice commanded him to halt.
The last druid that guarded the sanctuary had seen the commotion but also he saw how the girls deep cut was healed by the water of the pont she had fallen into. The dullahan stepped back and thrusted his sword into the ground before laying the girl down. Speaking no word he stood up and faced the old druid. The male in question stared at the girl before making what might have been the most important decision of his life. The girl clearly was magical. But she couldn't stay here. Not on earth nor anywhere she would be able to tell others about the existance of the sanctuary. After consideration he opened a portal to the realm of Magix and commanded the dullahan to guard her untill she was well trained enough to return and become the new keeper of the sanctuary. The dullahan only nodded and picked the girl up and carried her trough the portal to the other side
The old druid might have been very wise. But he had a terrible aim, the duo arrived deep in the forest of magix where the knight stood guard over the girl untill she woke up. When she opened her eyes he fanished into thin air and the gemstone on his sword colored red. Cathaì was rather dazed but the trauma caused by the blow had resulted in her forgetting who she was. The last she remembered was being happy in a nice forest.

Ever since waking up Cathaì has been surviving in the wild, using the fact that the forest feels to her like the comforts of home feel to you she dwelled there for at least a year untill she roamed closer and closer to the parts that were visited by Elfea fairies.
What will happen to the order that the druid gave, her parents, her friends of even the sanctuary is all up to you readers to help me bring to a happy end.



Now then, whatya think?

Poisonous plants. Duuuuuuuh :p
I'm using earth magic so having poisonous plants included is lore-correct :p

But lemme think... Hmmm.... Nightshade is too strong... Bellavera then?

well if one can grow plants, you can grow plant with poison. Just make it a minor poison and that's it.

Now you need to fix the weakness to gold and be rid of the dullahans references since you're not using it.

I am using the sword still... But it's just a non-rusting sword that can't strike anyone who carries some gold around....


Or do you want to take the Original out of OC?

Make the sword a normal every day blade. I don't see the point in making it restricted and not being able to strike anyone who carries gold.

1. One with nature: can survive in the wild with minimal supplies and never is hindered by natural causes. In the wild she even moves faster than out in the open.

How can she survive in the wild? Why is she never hindered by natural causes (because if one hits one part of where she lives, it effects EVERYONE in the country. I should know)? And why is she faster in the wild? Is she athletic?

Quote :

2. Great senses thanks to her survival upcoming. Able to spot dangers ahead and will be hard to suprise/ambush.

Can you please back this up in her history about her learning how to survive?

Quote :

3. Ranger live: skilled in archery but most of all with her black longsword... Although she had little to none opponents to practice against

Er....ranger live doesn't really fit the description, or the description doesn't fit in the name.

Quote :

1. Lack of nature will reduce her magic. The less greens around her, the weaker she gets

Uh...nature can also mean like the desert, open plains etc. So why did you choose about having green as part of her weakness. Not all things in nature are green.....

Quote :

2. Complete lack of knowlage of technology

Care to explain how this is a weakness? All I can see is a personality trait.

Quote :

3. Unkown dislike of gold. She can't stand to see or touch it (might even burn her like silver burns a werewolf). As with a dullahan she can't touch it. Also anyone wearing even a golden pin has complete and utter protection from her sword. Read up on Dullahan lore for more information

Umm....what? That is too OP for a weakness. Why is it unknown? Is it to her or is it to anyone else? and what IS a dullahans anyway?

And I am with zero with taking the dullahans thing out too. It's also OP, which far as I know it, I don't think any ocs will be using gold to defend herself. And all swords has to rust sometime. We don't mind ocs having swords, just don't make it OP, as in not having it connected to the amour and making it less important.

To refreshen everyones knowlage of celtic mythology:
A Dullahan is the original name for A headless horseman.
Many talk about THE but there are multiple ones as they come from the court of Ulisee fearies



Worked your feedback into it. And a sword of stainless steel won't rust. Nor will tje swords or shields used by the specialists.... And did you all ever hear of a magical weapon?


She completely lacks any ranged offence spells and if it would come to a fight relies on speed, stealth and her skills with her sword... Wich now are below speciallist level since she never had any real training but her dreams.

I appriciate the help but please allow some originality to be remained and not let us all be a stew of the same...

Just cut all the references to it since the spell isn't being used for it. Also we don't go on the scottish lore of fairies and their courts. There are Earth fairies on Tir Non Og in the RP. By they are not classified as either.

First of all. It's Tír Na Nóg.
Secondly: it"s only THE place of irish mythology... So why not accept the legends of the horseman who originates from there?

And it's not scottish. It's celtic...

Celtic lore is part of the Scottish heritage. You should know that.

The only way we can accepted is if it's put in as part of who she is, and not act on it in any other way than that.

Because, in the winxverse they don't use them, they never showed up once in season 4 nor have they shown up season 6. I'm sorry for the spelling I made for it. We're going with the show's lore on this.
