The White Witch

Name: Yseult Gans
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Birthday: 05/10
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: Yseult’s pale skin radiates with a constant coldness that feels as if her body had just been submerged in ice water, yet she never appears to flinch or even notice the condition. Consequently, the stinging coldness of winter snows cause her to wince no more than rain water would to a regular person.

Ice In My Veins

Personality: It is easy to mistake Yseult's adamant silence and piercing stare for a heartless coldness that matches her complexion, but the truth is she feels every emotion with such vividness that it can affect her physically. Anger will cause her body to shake, sadness will cause her stomach to quiver, and joy will soothe and numb her. In expressing these passions, she will take the route of those who raised her and act on a primal level with zero inhibition. The anger that causes her to shake would quickly cause her to act with violence, the sadness that forced a quiver in her stomach would soon force her to retreat in shame, and the the joy that soothed her will bring out an affection one would not expect to be possible from someone like Yseult.

Yseult came about from such an unorthodox childhood that the values and lessons imparted in the children of Fiore are nowhere to be found in herself. No example is more prominent than her take on morality in which the concept itself is viewed as nothing more than a fickle thing invented by man. To her, there is no more natural thing in the world than to act as one pleases without the shackles of any ethical code or governmental institution. If she wants something, she will take it. If she wishes something destroyed, she will use whatever power she possesses to annihilate it. None of these things mean she is inherently malevolent in nature however. She is just a person who values absolute freedom.

Having been hidden from the bulwark of civilization and taught to fear it, Yseult has grown into a shy soul. She reasonably attempts to avoid confrontation when her passions are unaroused by rage and in close conversations, she will be found as a walking enigma who discloses very little about herself verbally. However, just like Vulcans, her body cries out and expresses the story of herself in subtle ways. If one truly wanted to know her, they would have to do little more than observe her behavior and her way of reflecting on the surrounding world. The few things she finds pleasing, for instance, will always draw her attention and coax her into observing it with wonderment regardless of how trite it might be. An empathetic heart can easily draw conclusions about her from these viewings.

When at odds with a combative foe, Yseult values her own survival greatly. In regards to this, she prefers to keep her distance while acting relentlessly to defeat her opponent. It was how she was taught to fight as a youngster and thus how she still goes about fighting and to ensure her own safety, she is prone to go overboard and choose slaying over mercy. She finds no comfort in sadistic killing, though, nor even in a necessary killing. It is merely a way of life for her and one beaten into her; survival of the fittest as some colder hearts would say. Despite this urge to keep herself alive, she does not easily give into the fear of endangerment. She has witnessed in nature how creatures being devoured alive accept their fate with dignity after all hope is lost and hopes that her own demise will be as peaceful.

Yseult has a pack mentality that allows her to work especially well within a group. She is very conscious about the safety of her and will work to make sure her allies are safe just as she expects them to do the same for her. She comes from a background that had very loose leadership so she would not be prime for such a position nor would she work well under one without some adjustment. Following the commands of the leader would not be so much a problem as changing the tactics, especially for a leader that demands tighter control, would.

Likes:
❅ Vulcans - The old myth goes that wolves will raise a child if they find it alone within a forest. This cliche takes a surprising twist with Yseult who was instead raised by vulcans. These creatures raised her from a small infant and she therefore shares much deeper kinship with them than with mankind.
❅ Snow - Yseult has spent much of her life surviving in the freezing mountains of Mt. Hakobe, and the sight of white snow falling from the sky has become endearing to her rather than a sign of cold suffering.
❅ Groups - There is safety in numbers and although Yseult is rarely in danger or ever a social butterfly, she still enjoys the comfort of being surrounded by many people.
Dislikes:
❅ Shackles - There are few people who have lived a life so freely as Yseult. She become accustomed and thinks it a way of life to live without the pains of authority and will therefore act as she pleases except for when overpowered and, even then, she will obey reluctantly.
❅ Trophy Hunting - Hunting has always been seen by Yseult as a means of acquiring food. To hunt for another reason, such as for sport, is viewed by her as boorish and senseless.
❅ Obnoxiousness - It is easily apparent that Yseult is not the kind of person whose patience can withstand loud and annoying behavior. These sorts of people will easily discover the rudest and more hateful side of her.
Motivations:
❅ Vengeance - There are men in Fiore who are responsible for killing the vulcan that cared for Yseult. Though most of them are dead, one that she must hunt down still remains.
❅ Anarchy - A land lacking any government or authority apart from those strong enough to rule would be a paradise for Yseult who views such a life as the only way for any creature to live.
❅ Safety - Yseult enjoys the simplest things in life that even an animal would enjoy. Prime among these is her secured safety from the dangers of the world.
Fears:
❅ Fire - No one enjoys the heat and danger of fire, but for Yseult is more. She has seen firsthand what kind of damage flames can do to the body and it's an image that is burned into her mind.
❅ Hunted - Someone who values their own safety while also having witnessed what can happen to individuals hunted by mankind, such as Yseult, is very easily susceptible to the fear of being sought after for nefarious reasons.
❅ Submission - In valuing her supposed freedom, Yseult is fearful she might one day be forced to submit to the will of another against her own wishes.

Mimic The Snowman

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 114 lbs.
Hair: Long, white hair often left free-flowing.
Eyes: Amber
Skin Tone: Pale White
Appearance: Yseult appears as a curvy figure that eats neither too much nor too little, but it is not her body shape which catches the eyes of others as much as it is her pale, white skin mixed with snow-like hair. These colors should not be mistaken for magical as they were traits gained as Yseult grew up and practiced her strange magic. Coincidently, the only clothes on her back are an outfit set which shares the same color theme. The outfit consists of a long white, silky dress with complimentary pants, boots, and gloves that can keep her competently warm in even a snow storm. They are not that comfortable for her but she cherishes these clothes since they had been one of the rare trinkets she managed to steal from civilization when she lived in the mountains.
