first impressions.
 ☄ First Impressions ♚ VISUAL: Stands at 5'0 and weighs like 110 pounds. Her PB is Hanabi Yasuraoka, with a few Misaki Takasaki for additional expressions. Despite the slight babyface, she's 20. ♚ FASHION: Comfy but cute clothes! Usually wears softer colors but also likes shades of red. ♚ DEMEANOUR: Withdrawn and hesitant, with a fair amount of defensive body language--think wrapping her arms around herself, standing sort of with her shoulders hunched. Relaxes a lot more when she's more familiar with someone, but still seems very unsure of herself. ♚ SOUND: Leia Rolando, pitched a tiny bit higher! Speaks hesitantly and carefully, unless she's really into something or she's comfortable around someone, then she's a lot more animated. ♚ SCENT: Uses a lot of lightly scented shampoo/wash--think vanilla, maybe lavender if she's feeling spicy. ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: If someone can sense it, she's got Powers. She's an empath! Nothing too special, though. ♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: She's died like a lot, and has been reincarnated just as many times. ☄ OOC ♚ BACKTAGGING: Hell yeah. ♚ FOURTHWALLING: Sure. ♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: I'm up for it. ♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Contact me beforehand, but I'm usually cool with it. ♚ RELATIONSHIPS: I'm down! ♚ BACKSTORY INFO: It's here!

CODE;
BACKSTORY;
As you do, as an all-powerful being. It's sometimes not enough to just watch humanity play out, play its role. Sometimes, gods get bored too, and they feel the need to prove themselves. Unfortunately, what the gods of this world decided to do in order to combat that boredom is... make a bet. The gods are your traditional gods of light and darkness; they're more akin to siblings, and when siblings squabble, sometimes others get involved. The "Chosen Ones" are not exactly your traditional Chosen Ones--rather, they're more pawns in a game. Every couple of decades, the world is outright remodeled, reformed, reborn.
That's not to say the world isn't fully formed, with its own history and everything. The current world is one that closely follows ours, aside from gods, divine intervention, and people with special powers--we're dealing with gods, after all, gods who just so happen to be drunk off their own power. So, essentially, the world is just like any run of the mill world... aside from, you know, the people with special powers and gods.
As for Mira herself--
In the interest of keeping this somewhat concise, we'll go over the most significant points of Mira's history that she doesn't remember, but which have had a bearing on who she is as a person.Born near Cognac, France, Mira Delacroix grew up, at least early on, with a fairly normal childhood. Her parents were loving and conflict was very low, and her brother Noah doted on her constantly. She grew up surrounded by love and care... until gradually, it started to wane. She couldn't tell you when exactly it happened; it was a slow process, her alienation. But her brother remained ever at her side. One day, when Noah had finally had enough, he packed up his and Mira's belongings, and they moved out. Her parents easily signed over custody of her, and while thirteen-year-old Mira was confused and hurt, she had a feeling that it was for the best. They moved to the States, specifically Washington, and Noah enrolled her in a private school. It was then that Noah told her the truth: They were both born with special powers, and the world they lived in fed on that power and turned it outward. What resulted was the inhabitants of the world sensing danger from powered individuals. At least during her childhood, the more Mira's powers (those of empathy, the power to feel and even influence others' emotions in a subtle way) grew, the more her world raised its defenses.
Noah, an inventor, created for her a little pendant that would dampen the world's effects. While not very strong, it still had the desired effect: People mostly avoided her, but did not exhibit outright hostility. With the pendant tucked close to her heart, Mira entered college, and she met a young man named Elios. They bonded quickly, and Mira found herself drawn to him for a reason even she couldn't discern. She's opened up a little after entering college--and meeting Aiden, an aspiring writer who would become Noah's boyfriend--and it seemed like college would be almost good for her.
And then, one day, Mira came home to find Elios in her and Noah's apartment. Her brother sat dead at his desk, and Elios had a precious object in his hand: another pendant. Mira panicked, and Elios attacked; she fended him off, scared out of her mind, and she ended up taking his life in self-defense. Mira ran, after sending a message to Aiden that she was leaving, but didn't tell him where she was going. Eventually, though, Aiden caught up with her, and after chastising her for running away from him, especially, they put their heads together.
Aiden and Mira found Noah's journal, and after finding out the truth about Mira's situation (most importantly that she was little more than a pawn in a game set forth by gods she didn't know existed, and that she had lived and died countless "cycles"), a representative for the gods--sort of like a record-keeper, like Noah was--made contact with the two and let them helpfully know that the gods wanted to speak with Mira on the winter solstice. (Listen, they're dramatic, they can't help it.) With that in mind, Mira and Aiden began preparing for the meeting in just a few short months.
EMPATHY PERMISSIONS
1. She can feel your character's emotions. This will be as faint or obvious as you'd like; if you don't care how much she can feel, then just let me know. Generally I judge this off "how guarded is this character?"
2. She can influence your character's emotions. This is something she does much less because it's pretty scummy, but she might be able to do it unconsciously. It's nothing too extreme, more like... if your character is feeling angry, if she's trying to calm them by feeling calm herself, then your character could feel a lot less angry. On the flipside, if she's feeling anxious, your character might start to feel anxious, too.
