STRIKE A POSE ' '

Physical Appearance:

Some people say Terra is beautiful, but she's not that extremely beautiful. She's just sweet and pretty, but she doesn't have a model material. First off, she's quite tall, standing around 170 cm and she's very slim and petite. Slender might not be the best word to describe her body type, because some people would consider her more as skinny. That's fine though, as long as people don't assume her to have anorexia. Terra had a long, brown, wavy hair that falls to her back. Sometimes she just loosens it or tie it up in a low ponytail. She likes experimenting her hairs into different hairdos, especially when the hair-dos make her look mature.. She actually hates the fact that she's pale, and constantly jealous to see tanned people, because she prefers to have skin that's close to earthy colors.

About her facial features, Terra has a couple of small yet bright, deep green eyes that look more like a couple of shining emeralds on her face with thick lashes framing them. Eyes are probably her most favorite part of body. Her eyebrows are also thin and pointy, not to mention, Terra has a small, pointy nose. Her skin is very pale like a typical European appears and her face is nothing much. It's just an ordinary shape of oval with pinkish cheekbones and freckles that lit up when she smiles. Terra has a slim, pale lips as well and she loves it like this rather than using a lipstick, though she does wear a transparent lipgloss.

Terra is a typical neat person but she doesn't want to look very flashy in the public. She dislikes hot colors (like hot pink, hot red, nothing too flashy) but she prefers something more pale and pastel. Although she has many expensive clothes given by her parents, she's pretty selective in them. Terra wears classic clothing and is rarely seen wearing casual clothing such as tank top, jeans, or skinny pants. She's not really into trends or styles and keeps herself natural and looks mature. She oftend dresses in knee-length lacey skirt, and a white T-shirt. Basically she just loves earthy colors and dislikes neon colors. Her feet are considered small, like feet of a ballerina. She doesn't like high heels pretty often and prefers to wear flat shoes.

LET'S GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER ' '

Personality Description:

Gentle, friendly, and soft spoken, that's Terra. She speaks very polite and that's what makes her such a sweetheart. This girl can even barely hurt someone's feeling and tends to budge. We can say that those are her weaknesses. Because she can even barely hurt someone's feeling, he's very easy to be persuaded to do something out of her priority, and she's just too kind to people, that she hardly ever gets angry and it's not a positive thing though.

But what people like about Terra is, besides being gentle and softspoken, that she is calm. Troublemaker is definitely not her trait and she hates fights. Terra tends to be calm most of the time as well, though sometimes when she's facing a difficult situation, she feels worried (like other girls feel when they're facing it). But Terra thinks that getting freaked out won't solve a problem, it will make it worse instead. Besides gentle, Terra is also a shy person and it takes time for her to get over her shyness. When it comes to a conversation with a boy (well, gentlemen mostly, it depends on what type of boy she meets), she's easy to be flattered as well.

Terra is deeply concerned about the environment and the issue about global warming. She constantly reminds people around her not to pick flowers or ruin the environment, maybe that's why sometimes she's called as eco-freak. The girl likes to spend most of her time being in the glass house to watch the plants growing up. Yes, gardening is one of her most favorite hobbies and she doesn't use much of her power to make the plants growing up faster. She once states that in the future, she wants to be someone who participates in environmental activities, such as a global warming activist.

Terra acts more mature than girls at her age. She tends to think before she acts and concerns a lot about concequences of her action. Terra is also responsible, wise, and considered protective over her friends. That's why sometimes she hates to see her friends argue.When she comes to see arguments happening between her friends, she'll be the one who will stop it (peacemaker, that's the word).

Speaking about being protective, Terra has some motherly intuition, making her more like a 'parent figure' or a 'sister figure'. Since she's more mature than girls at her age, she shows her caring and passionate to her juniors and Terra also likes to take those younger than her under her wing. That's why, Terra tends to be protective not just to people at her age but also to the tenth and ninth graders. Sometimes, she likes spending her leisure time with them (if she's not with her 11th grade friends). Her caring and passionate towards those younger might sound weird, especially Terra is the only child in the family. But she's not a spoiled brat and she has responsibility to burden; it is to take care of her friends and protect them. Terra has heard about bullying that happens in high school nowadays, but thankfully, it doesn't happen in Pantheon. In fact, she wants to make a strong bonds not just to her fellow juniors but also to the sophomores and freshmen, who were younger than them

WELCOME TO MY LIFE ' '

Origin: London, UK
History:

Brianna Flinch was just freshly graduated from Cambridge, when she met with her future husband Henry Verdene, who worked as an employee in a shoe company. Together, they got married in January 1992 and moved to the downtown of London, where shortly after that, Brianna fell pregnant. Nine months later, she gave birth to a healthy baby daughter with big, emerald eyes. Those eyes reminded me with earthy colors and thus named the baby Terra, which means earth. Shortly after the baby's birth, Brianna decided to be a housewife, meanwhile Henry continued on working in the shoe company.

But it wasn't until, something strange happened to five year-old Terra...

Her mother enjoyed her hobby which was gardening. Likely other five year-olds, Terra was curious about her surroundings. She spent most of her time being in the glass house in her home, accompanying her mother. When her mother wasn't around, Terra climbed up a chair to observe a plant she believed was rose. Fascinated, Terra raised her hand over it to grab the rose absentmindedly. But all of sudden, the soil shook softly. Terra was instantly terrified yet questioned why she could shake the soil. She ran to her mother immediately and told her about it. But Brianna didn't believe it, of course who would believe a five year-old?

Although frightened by the unusual power she had, Terra was curious and she determined to develop it. Secretly, when her parents weren't around, Terra walked towards the backyard and tried to shake the ground. It worked, the ground shook uncontrollably. Yes, as a little girl, Terra found it hard to control her power, but she kept continuing on developing her power. Until, one day, her mother came home and saw Terra was levitating a huge clump of soil, instantly frightening her.

The young girl later revealed everything to her parents. Brianna and Henry now realized that their daughter was not a normal human. Though she still couldn't figure out what kind of human she was. Brianna realized that their daughter was different than any other children and decided to have her homeschooled. Until when Terra was 14, her mother found a mysterious ad in the newspaper about a school isolated in the Olympic Mountains in United States. Isolated, that was what Terra needed to be. Although realizing that Terra was different, Brianna never wanted her to stop developing her power. Instead, with being isolated in a school named Pantheon Academy, she hoped that her daughter would develop her powers.

ROLEPLAYING SAMPLE ' '

Finally, it was the day Sapphira had been waiting for. After days of continuous snowstorms and rains, finally this day was fine. The sun appeared in the sky, beneath the pale-grayish clouds. It was slightly cloudy, but at least there was still sun. Fira couldn't recall when the last time she took a stroll outside was. Perhaps when it was raining, days before the snowstorm hit (the night when the Winterball was held). The blonde girl had no idea that it was going to rain that day, and she got soaked while running into the building. Days after that, she fell sick, lying all night in her dorm while her room mates went to the Winterball.

Although it looked a bit cloudy today, at least Sapphira was sure it would be a fine day. So there was no need for her to be worried of rain. She didn't want to fall sick again. The tall girl, wearing a simple white T-shirt covered with a cropped sweater and a knee-length lacey skirt, and flat shoes, stood in the entrance of the building. The junior, with all that clothing she wore, looked more like a teacher than a student. She looked like a 20 year-old with that lacey skirt and flat shoes. But that was her style, which was different than the other students, who wore casual shirts and looked like teens.

Now the girl was ready to set out for a stroll, after days having been trapped in the building. She missed the fresh air from the outside, in which she hadn't inhaled for days. Actually Sapphira wasn't typical of outdoor girl. She preferred to spend her eyes inside the building, but she knew it wasn't good for her health. She had been spoiled for days with indoor facilities. At the entrance, Fira stretched her back first. Boy, it had been like decades she hadn't been outdoor. She felt more like a prisoner being released and as if the outdoor world was a new world for her. She walked pass the courtyard and some girls spotted her, somehow surprised to see her finally going out of the building. "Hey Fira!" one of them greeted. "Where have you been? We haven't seen you outdoor for a while. Is it because of the snowstorm and rain?" Sapphira nodded. "Yes, and lately I had a terrible flu."

Sapphira continued walking, having no idea where she actually headed. There were bunch of arrows in the intersection. She stood there for a while and decided to go left. The scenery changed when she entered a place where bushes were cropped neatly into squares. She realized where she was - a labyrinth. Absentmindedly, the girl entered that place and ended up being lost. Oh no, everywhere looked the same. She didn't even remember where the entrance or the exit was.

Now, the blonde realized that she was facing the biggest fear in her life.

Being lost....
