Gender: Female
Age: 21
Birthday: July 26
Sexuality: Bi
Special Characteristics: None

Personality: Loving, gentle, childlike, and sleepy are the four words that best describe Almyra. She is deathly allergic to bees, and ever since being stung by one at an early age, her emotional development has been slow, however, her intelligence hasn't suffered. In fact, she learns faster than most people in a similar manner to how a child will learn languages faster than an adult. Almy sees almost everything with a sort of child-like wonder, and there is little she will refuse to describe as "pretty" or "neat," especially when it comes to people. She is very observant of her surroundings, taking in everything. Unfortunately, this also leads to her getting distracted often, as it is easy to find things interesting to her. When she does need to focus, however, Almyra can do so quite well.

Normally Almyra is very kind and gentle to everyone she meets. She loves people, and thinks everyone is pretty in their own way. If not physically, then for their personality, or for the way she sees them able to impact the universe. She is a very physical person, due to her relationship with her sister, who was quite caring and indulging towards her. She enjoys hugging, holding hands, cuddling, and having almost any form of physical contact with people she likes. She can sometimes become quite sad when someone refuses her hugs or other attempts at physical contact, thinking it's because they dislike her. She loves people, and always wants them to love her as much as she loves them.

Almyra follows what most may consider to be an interesting philosophy. She believes in chaos, but in a different sort than many tend to consider. Where many can consider chaos to be a bad thing, she considers it natural. To her when something is chaotic, it simply means it is constantly changing. Change is natural in the world, and stagnation is what leads to ruin. What most people call order, she just calls a different type of chaos. She believes that the world is in a dynamic equilibrium, and that it must remain ever changing in order to remain a liveable place. She seeks to maintain balance in this world through chaos, and sees herself as an agent of it. Unlike many who see themselves as agents of chaos, she recognizes that even good things can cause ripples, that can resonate to become tsunamis of causality, causing great change, and instilling harmless, or even beneficial chaos.

Almyra sleeps a lot. Where most human adults need about 7-8 hours of sleep, she requires 10-11 hours of sleep. This is due to the fact that she is always aware of when she is asleep, and always dreams lucidly. While this allows her to be somewhat productive in her sleep, as she can think and meditate, it also makes her sleep much less restful. She is often sleepy, even if she gets her increased amount of sleep, though she has gotten used to it and it doesn't affect her much.

Despite generally being a gentle person, Almy will give it her all in combat. She isn't afraid to kill, especially if its someone who attacked her first. She tends to dislike killing, but is okay with it if it is in the defense of herself or another, since generally only bad people (according to her) will attack someone and try to kill them without good reason. Almy is good at following orders, and will generally do so without questioning them much. She is fine with other people being in charge, though not for extended periods of time, since she likes to wander. She will do whatever she can to protect her friends.

Almy is a poor leader. She is decent at formulating plans, but dislikes bossing others around or disciplining them if they don't follow orders, and is generally too confusing or strange to be respected as a leader. She simply does not have the ability to assert herself over others to the extend to lead them. The closest thing she would ever want to be to a leader would be an adviser, that way she can still formulate and recommend plans of action, but does not need to get others to follow them.
Likes:

• People: Almyra simply loves people, especially if they're interesting and friendly. She always is willing to talk to someone, or hug them.
  
• Physical contact: Almyra's sister, Timara was very kind and caring to her when they were growing up. Often hugging her and showering her with affection, and sleeping with her when she went through a period of time of having night terrors. This has lead to her greatly enjoying and being very accustomed to physical contact, and makes her often seek it with others.
  
• Sweets: Almy has quite the sweet tooth and loves candies, cookies, ice cream, and other sweets.
  
• Math: Almyra is quite good at math, and generally finds it very fun.
  
• Exploring: Almyra is always inquisitive and adventurous, and always willing to go on an adventure with someone.
  
• Buttons: She thinks they're pretty and likes to collect them.
  
• String: Again, she thinks it is pretty. She also interprets some relationships in chaos theory as being like strings linking things together, and seeing actual strings reminds her of this and makes her smile.
  

Dislikes:

• Leading- She is not a strong leader, and generally dislikes trying to tell people what to do.
  
• The cold- Almyra lived most of her life in the hot country of Desierto, and is well accustomed to the heat. The cold, much less so. She will often bundle up more than most in cold climates, and will start to feel chilly in anything under about 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 C)
  
• Swords- She has had bad experiences with them. The sight of any sword is enough to bring her discomfort.
  
• Sad people- Well she doesn't dislike people who are sad, she dislikes it when people are sad, and will try to cheer them up. Usually with hugs.
  

Motivations:

• Balance- Almyra feels her purpose in life is to maintain balance in the world through chaos.
  
• Meeting people- Almyra loves people, and wants to get to know as many of them as she can.
  
• Collecting buttons- Buttons are pretty, and collecting them is Almy's favorite hobby.
  

Fears:

• Bees, wasps, and hornets- Almyra has a deadly allergy to their venom, and as such is absolutely terrified of them. Just one sting can kill her.
  
• Death- Almy doesn't usually fear the unknown, but death is one of the few things that scares her, especially since she's not sure if there even is anything afterwards.
  
• Loneliness- While she doesn't mind, and sometimes even likes being alone sometimes, even for extended periods of time, Almyra can't stand the thought of having to be alone for the rest of her life. She needs someone to hug and be friends with.
  
• Sabers- While any sword will make her feel uncomfortable, Almyra lost her hand to a man armed with a saber. Seeing these makes her quite uncomfortable, more so than other blades.
  
• Buzzing Noises- The man who maimed Almy used magic to cause the blade of his sword to vibrate, allowing it to cut through objects with ease. Hearing similar sounds make her feel ill.
  
• Violence- She has seen more than enough of it. When fighting breaks out she is prone to having panic attacks and being unable to do anything until she herself is threatened directly, at which point she will defend herself with an animalistic ferocity.
