Physical Description

In her human form, She has a curvy body shape, light skin, 176cm height, 60kg weight. Mid-back length curly chestnut brown hair, monolid-shaped teal eyes, a button nose, pink lips and diamond shaped face. She prefers formal, elegant or casual clothings and likes cloaks or coats in cool and neutral tones. She's always seen wearing her blue cloak that reaches up to her ankles and has a hood, black boots, gloves and carries a brown backpack. Underneath her cloak, she wears a purple shirt, black pants and has a belt wrapped around her hips with a dagger attached onto the right side.

In her Fish-like bird form, She's a giant humanoid bird that can walk on all fours and switch into two legs, whose height is slightly lowered than a giraffe (520cm) that weighs 410kg and has grayish blue fish skin whose texture is similar to a dolphin. She has bird-like teal eyes, a fish fin on both sides of her cheeks and a tufted titmouse-like feathered gray bird crest on top of her head. Her nose and mouth became a raven-like sharp beak that's 57cm long and has sharp teeth inside. The limbs that should be her arms as a human turned into 230cm feathered large wings which can help her to fly and her hands became sharp gray color bird claws. She has black bird-like legs that are 190cm long and her anisodactyl bird toes are 40cm long. She has a fish-like tail at the back of her lower waist which is 271cm long and 150kg weight that helps her to swim. Her neck is 70cm long. In the middle of her neck, there are 2 fish fins on the left side and another 2 on the right and has gills underneath them which makes her able to breathe underwater. Despite the strange anomalies, the form oddly looks as elegant as a peacock and not exactly nightmarish one would think it is.

Personality

She has a polite and friendly attitude towards others but stays quiet most of the time due to her lack of knowledge on how to converse, give advice and to keep the conversation going besides greetings but likes to discuss theories, the unknown, philosophies, dreams and many others when given the chance. She prefers things to be peaceful and puts violence as the last course of action unless others or herself are in danger. Thinking that she should be on her best behavior, she behaves seriously although she can be quite silly and playful at times when she feels relaxed. She's adventurous and curious to learn new things but knows better to be cautious than to recklessly follow it and believes that some things are better not worth finding out. She can get moody or more easily irritated at times but tries to be patient and sensible about it, controlling her negative emotions, believing that politeness is key, although she's prone to throw, punch or kick objects to vent out her frustrations when no one's around or if truly angered and is unable to remain calm. She often goes on calming activities like listening to music or stories, stargazing, watching the sea and crafting her puppets due to finding them to be quite soothing. She dislikes hot climates and often flaps a hand fan near to her and if possible, swims at a nearby lake or puts an ice pack on her head to cool herself down when no one's around. She likes to write down whatever ideas she has in her mind but feels shy to tell others and gets embarrassed whenever people talk about her creative works.

Weaknesses

Fire - She has an innate fear of fire since she was a child despite having no accidents with it and flinches everytime she sees it.  The bigger the flames and closer to her, the more it'll frighten her. She feels dizzy and can even fall conscious just from watching it due to anxiety but is more tolerant when it comes to battle or cooking due to actively trying to push her fear aside.

Sleepiness - The feeling of struggling to be awake when she's drowsy is terrible for her and causes her mind to be muddled. Sleepiness can overcome her, making her nap suddenly for a moment even during a battle and makes her overemotional, more Impulsive in following her anger and more prone to crying due to her emotional tolerance being lowered when she's sleepy.

Magic/Abilities

Non-Magical:

Doll making - She's able to make puppets, dolls, marionettes, plushies, paper puppets, etc, through various ways like sewing, wood making, etc, when given sufficient materials.

Baking - She can bake various kinds of sweets like cupcakes, pastries, etc. She's able to cook other dishes like fish, etc, but is more proficient in baking.

Puppeteering - She's quite skilled in manipulating puppets to make them look alive which she uses for her storytelling although she believes that she's still a novice in it.

Archery - She was taught how to do it by Yvonne but is quite a novice in it compared to others and would miss her target at times.

Agility - She's quite fast especially when it comes to running and has quick reflexes that help her in battle.

Magical:

Mutant Bird shifter- After she wore an enchanted mask which had dissipated into her, She can transform herself at will into a facultative quadrupedal Fish-like bird creature that can fly, swim underwater and has night vision. Although she's able to breathe underwater, she cannot go into deeper depths than the Epipelagic/Sunlight zone (200m) due to being unable to handle the colder undercurrent pressure of the deep waters. The mask can be separated from her by outside force but it's quite difficult to do so since its magic has already merged and become a part of her body. She's able to stay permanently in both of her forms but needs energy to revert back to another.

Sound waves - She can emit an extremely powerful scream of high amplitude which sends out a strong sound wave made by sonic energy from her vocal cords that's capable of pushing and blowing away her targets. It's unable to conjure when the user is muted.

Telepathy- She's able to communicate with people through telepathy as long as they're in her sight.

Ventriloquist - She can create or mimic sounds and voices even without moving her lips and can make it seem like it came from somewhere else which can be used to trick people.

Relationships

Yvonne Levine (Guardian, Alive. Serenian) - A mentor whom Aislin was introduced to by her parents and agreed to watch over Aislin and become her caretaker in case her parents ever met with unfortunate circumstances in La'marri. She gets along quite nicely with her and is always interested in listening about the mage's experiences, knowledge and watching her craft dolls.

Her parents (Diana Florentine & Darius Halloran, Alive. Sidonyakis.)  -
Loving parents whom she's currently living together with in La'marri. At first, she was worried and thought they'll be afraid of her just like the villagers when they found out about her magical abilities, but she felt touched when they became supportive and more protective of her instead, even moving out of their home to give her a better life. She's very close with them and spends time with her parents as much as possible due to the fact that there are a lot of chances to do so compared to the time when they were in Sionad Tundra. She's quite protective and caring for their well-being and will not hesitate to fend back against those who'll harm them.

Others - She used to have a stable relationship with the villagers back in Sionad Tundra but became distant from her for what she did in her feral state when she first became the Mutant Bird and began to fear her. She prefers to stay far away from the settlement she was born in unless she has a proper disguise due to her fear that the villagers might recognise and are still afraid of her.

History

She was a magicless person, borned in a settlement in Sionad Tundra to loving parents but rarely sees her father due to the fact he works at the sea with the whaling fleet and comes back at winter, which was the only time he could rest and see his family, leaving most of the child care to her mother. During winter, the 7 years old Aislin who was playing in the snow, found an enchanted bird-like mask that was created by an unknown Mage but got abandoned in the snow when it was discovered to be defective, unstable and a failure. Thinking it was pretty and unaware of its effect and history, she brought it back home and showed it to her parents, who thought the mask was harmless and let their child keep it when they saw she was happy with it.

A few weeks later after Aislin got the mask, she decided to wear it to see how it would look on her, but then turned into a giant feral Fish-like bird that went on a rampage once she wore it. She became exhausted from being injured by the villagers and fell unconscious, which made her revert back into human form. Fortunately no one was killed during it but some villagers became injured from stopping the creature. The mask was nowhere to be found when it had actually dissipated inside of Aislin. Some villagers who were skeptical, began to fear the girl, thinking that she can turn back into it again.

Aislin began to live with her mother after she had reached her puberty and sometimes was able to see her father in winter. She discovered she gained magical abilities since she wore the mask. Knowing that some villagers were still afraid of her, she tested them out in secret, only showing them to her parents, who didn't mind as long as they didn't get out of control. She has fully stabilized her control over her fish-like bird form at the age of 11 and the settlement's fear of Aislin turning back into the beast began to lessen but came back stronger when a villager had caught her transforming back into it and told the whole settlement about it and Aislin began to be treated as an outcast. Her mother, who wanted to give her child a better life, began to discuss leaving the settlement with her father to which he agreed.

When the weather turned kinder and they had gotten enough supplies, the parents brought the 13 years old Aislin and went into other different settlements. Her parents made it their goal to bring Aislin into La'marri when they heard about it from some traders. After some difficulties, the family managed to get out of Sionad Tundra safely, began traveling the outside world and arrived at La'marri after many months. Her parents became close friends with Yvonne, a mage who likes to make dolls, marionettes, etc and helped to guide Aislin with her magical abilities. Aislin, at the age of 15, became interested in making dolls as she watched Yvonne sew and worked on them to which the mage happily taught her when the mage noticed her interest. Nowadays, Aislin makes plushies, dolls, marionettes, sweets, etc, and sells them to people on her shop stand while making puppet shows for children and travels outside of La'marri from time to time, wanting to explore the world when she's bored.
