Name: Vanessa
Nationality: Austria
Age: 16
Gender: F
Sex: F
Description: Slight and short, Vanessa would, in plainclothes, be a virtually unnoticeable feature, that the eye almost seems to roll off of. Her ivory skin seems virtually untouched by the sun, and unblemished. Even when not in her magical suit, she prefers large, flowing, and rather outrageous dresses; how much of the outfit is truly there and how much is merely an illusion is often up for debate. Her hair is a long curl of dark, almost blood-like red. Her eyes, however, are a rather starkly simple brown, which she refuses to change.

Magical suit description: Vanessa's magical suit consists of a deep purple narrow petticoat under a black overskirt, with a dark red jacket, at its natural state. However, she can control the appearance of it at will, and unlike her other illusions, these alterations are tangible (though they naturally are limited to a rather small radius). She often chooses to decorate the overskirt with nebulas and constellations from the night sky.

Magical Concept: Illusions; mostly purely sight-based, but is capable of making some that stimulate scent, sound, and event taste. However, she has yet to accomplish tangible illusions (Dress aside)

Personal Weapon (optional) : To most who look at it, it's a gnarled staff of oak, with a large sphere of some unidentifiable, just barely translucent blue gem encased in the top, wrapped with phantasmagorical images; entwined serpents flowing naturally to vines, then to lines of paint before brightening so slowly as to be undetectable and transforming into droplets of sap seeping from the bark. To any who saw it beyond her influence, it's effectively just a particularly nice oak stick.

Skills (Optional) : Deception, trickery, and laying traps.
