Name: "Kuro"
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Birthday: 10/31
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: She can't hear people's voices
Personality: She's quiet but not by choice. Often times one could talk to Kuro (an alias in which she gave herself) for hours before realizing that she can't hear a single thing that one is saying to her. Due to a curse placed on her sometime ago, she cannot hear people's voices or any sounds produced by living creatures. Which means that she can hear footsteps or the wind but voices and breathing she cannot.Over the years Kuro has developed her own way of communication with others. She's excellent at playing along with simple nods or sounds of agreement or discontent, but when it comes to communicating in turn Kuro makes it rather difficult. Since she can't hear her own voice her speech is very broken and thus she avoids speaking unless absolutely necessary. Instead she likes to play an elaborate game of charades with people, making vague hand gestures, the occasional sounds, and most importantly she can write and read. Not to mention when it comes to reading lips, Kuro is a pro so long as one doesn't talk very fast and too much. However, just for the sake of teasing others she doesn't make it well known that she can read lips, and only those close to her often know of her ability.
However, just because Kuro can't hear and is on the quiet side not by choice but just because of the cards dealt to her, that doesn't mean she is meek and quiet. If anything she is the exact opposite with the exception of the "quiet" part. She adores being the center of attention, and despite her lack of ability to hear she can be quite haughty. She'll tease others, often viewing herself as the elder and more mature, and she seems to have a confidence that borders arrogance. She uses this arrogance to protect herself from any teasing comments she might get from her lack of hearing, often times come out along the lines of, "At least I don't have to hear your trashy voice." Not to mention the young mage uses all of the teasing and arrogance to just mask her feelings, having trouble expressing them not just because of her lack of ways to communicate but because she'd prefer not and was raised not to.
In battle Kuro doesn't change much. One might think they'd have an advantage against the deaf mage, but it is merely voices that she can't hear and since this isn't a well known fact, it often works to her advantage. Kuro can hear footsteps, the wind, and even the slightest motions in the air, not to mention many of her senses are much stronger than the average humans in order to make up for her slight disability. It is because of this that she's very confident in battle believing that people often underestimate her which she can use to her advantage. Kuro does well as a leader unless she gets over-confident, as she often times does. She doesn't do well in battle under a leader because it distracts her from the battle itself, it takes too much time for her to read their lips and figure out their commands unless it is a leader she is familiar with.
Likes:
- Warm beverages because they are comforting to her.
She has a bad habit of cracking her fingers/knuckles, but it is a calming thing to her.
Books and the like, she's very studious and is always striving to better herself.
Dislikes:
- Getting bullied which often results in her bullying the bully
Dark mages, she believes they'll only change through punishment.
People who talk too fast/a lot, if they talk like that it's harder for her to read their lips.
Motivations:
- Eliminate dark mages
Make it to the Magic Council where she believes she'll be able to make some change
To get rid of the curse placed on her, so she can once again hear peoples voices.
Fears:
- Meeting the person that placed the curse on her, eventually she wants to take them out but she knows she's in no condition to do so now.
Losing any other senses she has
Afraid of losing what little hearing she still has
General Appearance
Height: 5”2

Hair: Kuro has dark wavy hair, often tied up into twin tails with dark ribbons to match. If it's not tied up then it reaches her lower back.
Eyes: A deep blue, often times almost icy in nature
Skin Tone: Pale
Appearance: A little short but she holds herself with a certain sort of elegance that makes up for her height. She'll hold that elegance with such grace that it's clear that she has practiced it for a long time. Other than that she's rather slender and pale but her size does not stop her from lashing out with an ice cold venomous glare and attitude to match. Most of the time she wears skirts and the like, with long dark socks to accentuate her legs. She also seems to hold a red coat in particular favor.
