Valka Nostrome

Name: Valka Nostrome
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Birthday: March 5th
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Special Characteristics: Has a ring of feather-like tattoos starting from her throat down to collarbone that are always display. It's debated if its' to 'show off' or act as a warning sign.

Personality: Aloof and indifferent would be an apt description of Valka upon first glance. Not outright hostile, but if the conversation doesn't pertain to her own studies there is little interest in her eyes. However, if it does pertain to whatever her academic focus is at the time, there is seems a bit of 'life' in her voice instead of flat politeness.  Years of travel have taught her that a friendly host rarely remains like that for long without some motivation behind a painted smile. So, in return she has adapted to the 'polite' host when it comes to interacting with strangers.

Her aloof nature seems to lessen by only a fraction when it comes to acquaintances as at least she will show general emotions around them besides 'polite'. Her tongue can be sharp and impatient if a companion is idling about. It's beyond frustrating for her to see someone in a complete state of relaxation when there is so much more to do with their limited time. Peel back the icy layers and 'above it all' expression, there is a human being desperately trying to cling onto something. Understanding of her own magic.

Those who are given the rare opportunity to see her 'true' face will find a young woman plagued by her own insecurity in her magic. The dreams and nightmares that haunted her nights as a child only began to make sense as she began to expand her control of her magic. To allow herself to become the ideal 'Aspect' of the forgotten spirits plucking her from the strings of Fate. Hidden away in her books and teas, she is quicker to laugh and smile. A glint of impossible curiosity and longing upon being presented a new tome.

There is a streak of sadism in her brief flirtation with combat as she takes pleasure in unleashing her magic. Like allowing the brief trickle of water from a dam that threatens to burst at any second. Overperforming on the occasion as if mixing business with 'personal' issues as her target has irked her beyond words. However, post combat there seems to a tranquil mood that floats her like the blissful rays of a beautiful summer morning. As if all the weight of her studies and work ethic has vanished at least for a few days, only to return like a sudden storm.

Likes:

 
• Teas- Her mind is a maelstrom of thoughts and 'whispers', it isn't shocking that she tries to find comfort in soothing notes of teas. From sheer black tea for a restless sleep or the pleasant taste of citrusy lemon tea to compliment a treat. Her personal quarters has a private larder of various precious reserves from her travels that she guards with hoard-like jealousy.
  
  
• Books- A vivacious bookworm in her youth that would excitedly chatter away about her latest read be it academic or fantastical, her enthusiasm has become more subdued as she turned in on herself. However, her passion for the written word hasn't dampened as it possible to find her devouring some dusty old tome even during mealtimes.
  
  
  
• Birds- These creatures represent so many things that she longs for her in life. The notion of 'freedom'..and in relation to her magic.
  

Dislikes:

• Dogs- Noisy and often unruly, she holds a harsh attitude towards canines and their filthy slobber.
  
  
• Idealists- The type that dwells in fairytales of old and sees the world only as black and white makes her stomach acid curdle. She loathes this type of person beyond words.
  
  
• Insects- There a few types of species that she holds a special hate for the ones with diets of the paper and binding kind.
  

Motivations:

• Magical Understanding- Her thirst for knowledge hasn't ceased even as she began to 'communicate' with her Aspect in her dreams. The spirit guiding her towards old forgotten tomes and ruins once thought worthless. However, there are only so many things one can do by themselves, she needs allies.
  
  
• Allies- As difficult as she can find the general populace, she knows that in order to accomplish her goals, she needs at least a few stalwart companions that can help shoulder her burdens. Or at least force herself to open up.
  
  
• The Suitable Aspect- All her magical abilities have been blooming since her birth. All for one singular focus to bring forth the once forgotten spirits from somewhere entirely foreign. Their true intentions..mingling with own human selfish desires.
  
  
  

Fears:

• A Cage- The idea of losing her freedom is terrifies her to her very core. Be it a physical cage or one of her own emotional design, she will hastily retreat at any sign of capture.
  
  
• Spiders- Too many legs and eyes, enough said
  
  
• Magical Disconnect- All her life has been driven by her magic, its' her everything. To lose it means her path forward in life has sudden vanished from her feet. Meaningless and doomed to fade away.
