Aya'no P. Kalinski- Handcock

Mort wrote:Name: Aya'no Petra Kalinski-Handcock
Nicknames: Black Mercy; Rosa
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Birthday: June 24th
Sexuality: Bisexual
Special Characteristics: Her body is in a minor, semi-permanent state of take-over from prematurely combining magic. This has caused her body to take on gorgon & hamadryad traits, even when not actively using her magic.

Personality: Aya’no appears to be a friendly, if unusual person who you’d sit by the fire with, making small talk as you eat salmon and crackers. However, while she appears outgoing and welcoming, she is a schemer, looking to see how others can assist her in her goals. She treats herself like a living multitool, looking at an obstacle and deciding on the best way to overcome it, be it a key or a sledgehammer. When in public she is charismatic, when working she is a drone focused on her target. Her need to keep it all in her control drives her, as it allows her to react to whatever life could throw at her as best as she can.

Even with this mindset, she is human at her core. She does want to make connections, but after her family, religion, and childhood friends drove emotional nails into her heart for various reasons; 'true' connections are difficult for her to handle. To her fragile state of mind, it was better to have the option to cut someone off who was at arms length then to risk drowning together because you held them too close. It is because of this that when others do get to close to her 'true' self, she is cold, distant, and sociopathic; a final defense to try and push them away from harming her and regain control once more.

The times where she allows herself to let down her guard and be herself (as any good lie has grains of truth to it), she truly does enjoy the company of others, indulging in the pleasures of life, and just relaxing for the sake of relaxation. This is best seen when she is gardening in some form, as working with plants are what let her relive her happiest memories; memories of a time where she didn't worry about every little thing around her with eyes unclouded by doubts and fears. Even if she doesn't like a person, she has a respect for those who worked their way up from the bottom up, be it their start or after their fall.

Likes:
➤A Fantastic Meal. Superficial as it is, she is an absolute sucker for a proper three course meal, especially if it contains steak & wine. It isn't even the taste, it's the atmosphere itself that does it for her.
➤Control. Despite her constant attempts to not take everything into her own hands, she finds the power of control to be intoxicating. She usually mitigates this with organization.
➤Gardening. Be it plants or fungi, for business or pleasure, the activity of gardening is a great stress reliver for her psyche. Roses are her favorite to grow.

Dislikes:
➤Failure. She knows that is is inevitable, but knowing it can and will happen doesn't mean one wants it to happen to themselves.
➤Politics. While she knows it's a necessary evil to participate in it in some form, the process is extremely draining to her.
➤Red. Her dreams constantly show her death, such as a blazing inferno or a red energy, almost always caused by her own hubris in some form. She is unsure why this these dreams keep happening, causing great discomfort.

Motivations:
➤Comfort. While she isn't afraid to get her hands dirty to achieve her goals, she would like to live a life where she doesn't need to bother herself with the major pains of life.
➤Power. Aya'no knows that power isn't everything, however there are a great deal of things in life that aren't possible without it.
➤A Place to Call Home. No matter where she goes, it doesn't feel 'right'. Each place she had tried to settle down in, something always pushed her to move on. Someday, she hopes to rectify that.

Fears:
➤Family. What little of her family she does remember, she would prefer to never have them find out her new life she has tried to make for herself.
➤Loss of Magic/Self. Her magic is intrinsically tied to her sense of who she is, and without it she is unsure of who she would become without it.
➤Her Dreams. Her inability to dream of anything but her own death has made her wonder if they are a retrocognition of her past lives, or perhaps a premonition of a yet untold future.
