THE CHARACTER;
Series/Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth
Character's Name: Caldina
Character's Sex: Female
Character's Age: You should never ask a lady’s age, little missies~.
Canon point: After she was already hired by Lord Zagato to find and remove the Legendary Magic Knights for lots of money, money, money~!
Abilities:
Miss Caldina is a skilled dancer and illusionist. By utilizing the many bells attached to her costume she’s able to hypnotize other people, and she can even go so far as to manipulate how their bodies move. This can be met with resistance and broken in some cases by a strong opponent. In the case of the Magic Knights, Caldina had both Hikaru and Umi completely under her spell and she had them attack Fuu. Considering they were friends at the time, the spell must have been pretty powerful. Conversely, when she took control of Fuu’s motions.. The knight was aware of it, and tried to stop herself yet even she raised her sword to Umi and Hikaru and drew blood before she was able to break free. Her illusions are able to take on the form of almost anything. The less elaborate illusion was when she brought out a collection of nightmarish looking bats to chase off one of the knights. Her more involved illusion made a carbon copy of Master Mage Clef, a couple of guards, Princess Emeraude, and included the surrounding scenery. Beyond her magical abilities Caldina is quite flexible, and athletic. She is skilled with short daggers, and is able to jump fairly high.
Strengths:
Caldina is charismatic, outgoing and friendly. As a result she possesses a natural ability to charm those around her and subsequently manipulate them when need be. She's also in shape and a distinguished dancer. Aside from her entertainment skills she's adept at wielding daggers. When her plans fail, she's not one that gets disheartened. Instead she draws strength from the failure and bounces back swiftly. She also possesses a talent for gambling. She's protective of those she cares about. Her greatest strength power wise lies in her illusions. Her illusions are flawless in terms of their representation of actual people and items. The illusions are capable of making their target think that they’re actually being attacked or injured.
Weaknesses:
One of her weaknesses is her vanity. It doesn't usually get in the way of her work however she's more prone to taking insults personally. In one word, money. She holds a great love for it, and will go to great lengths to obtain it. When Ferio challenges her to a poker-like game she seems unable to resist it. Caldina can be quite stubborn, even ignoring those closest to her if they argue with her. This can and has led her into situations she couldn't handle before. She has a weakness for cute kids. Despite her mission to seek out the Magic Knights and destroy them, she also looks after Ascot, another person Zagato enlisted. Also when she does face the Magic Knights she's a bit taken aback by how young they actually are and it later effects her ability to oppose them. Gossip. She's a bit of a busy body and loves getting in on juicy gossip such as who likes who and she's not subtle about it often leading to making the people involved uncomfortable as she could and would reveal their secrets not seeing what the big deal was. She also has a weakness for attractive guys. Lafarga is one of the reasons she decides to stay on Cephiro. The biggest weakness with her illusions is that they are just illusions. Closing your eyes stops the illusions from being effective. Like when Caldina had the guards turn into monsters and attack the magic knights.. When they closed their eyes, they no longer felt they were being attacked. When Umi opened her eyes to see if they were gone, the beast swung at her and she called out in pain.

Appearance:
i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss324/Sailor_X/cal1.png
Personality:
Caldina is a very outgoing, open and charismatic sort of person. She’s often able to convince others to bend to her will, coerce unsuspecting opponents into traps, and relieve targets of their money either through her gambling, dancing, or just sweet words. To that extent she is also sneaky and manipulative. She does have her limits and would never do something that fully compromised herself, being far to proud to give in to anything she doesn’t want to do. Along with that pride, she will often boast about her gorgeous body, and prefers to wear tighter fitting clothes to show it off. She’s not a bit shy about this, and doesn’t always understand why others are, often leading to some awkward moments between herself and who she’s currently speaking to.
She can seem shallow, self-absorbed, and vain but there’s also another side to her. Underneath it all she’s actually quite caring and compassionate. This comes out more often than not when she’s dealing with the young summoner Ascot. They both came from different worlds and origins but she ends up seeing him like a little brother and as someone she needs to protect. She holds a weakness for children and even though she was hired to eliminate the Magic Knights she sours on the idea a bit when she realizes how young they actually are. Still in her desire to be financially secure she persisted ignoring Ascot's attempts to convince her that she shouldn't.
It’s questionable whether she ever could have gone so far as to murder the Magic Knights, given how she reacted when the villagers (she had blackmailed into helping her) pretended to kill Ferio. When Ferio hit the ground, Caldina actually grew quite nervous and let the villagers out of their little deal as she quickly departed. If she was a cold-blooded killer, she wouldn’t have batted an eyelash at this development.
Even when her plans fall apart, she doesn’t simply give up. Caldina will drop back accordingly and devise a new plan. She’s not above taunting others, just for her own amusement. Despite all these negative traits she also doesn’t relish in seeing others get hurt. She can place aside her misgivings long enough to work on a job however its still there in the back of her mind. She doesn’t always think things through before doing them and she doesn’t filter herself much. She’ll say what’s on her mind when it’s something that most people would hesitate to say. When she’s angry, everyone knows about it.
SAMPLES;
Action/Journal Sample:
[Action/Video]
[Startled to find herself in some random village, Caldina bolted to her feet only to nearly crash back down into the pavement. Her legs hadn’t been ready to hold her, cuts and scrapes laced her body. She winced as she caught herself and instinctively reached out to hold on to her other arm.]
Those critters- oughta know better… how to r-really…… treat a lady.
[Despite her injuries, she tried to keep a sense of humor, as she finally allowed herself to sink back onto her knees. Her outfit was a little more revealing that usual with the gashes sometimes coinciding with the material. She was wearing a long red cape that was torn to shreds near her left shoulder and looked suspiciously dark at the end of it, as if it had been in a fire.]
Now……just where the heck am I?
[And where’s Ascot? She felt guilty for not being there to protect the little guy. With any luck… Ascot’s “friends” (his monsters) had been able to help him, or he’d managed to fly off. A strange yet hesitant creature approached her, holding the very communicator that had been recording this scene.]
[The Moogle wasn’t sure whether to call for help or start it’s welcoming speech. ]
You’re in Traverse Town.. Miss. Don’t worry, I’m here to help.
[ooc: The moogles text is in blue. Caldina had a nasty encounter with the heartless before she got here]
RP Sample:
“Now I’ve seen some strange creatures before… but they were nothing like this,” Caldina took on a defensive stance, narrowed her eyes, and held her fan just under her chin. “Now how’s about you little critters clear out and leave Lil ol’ Caldina to her business?”. The Magic Knights weren’t that far off, and she was keen on intercepting them, the problem being these globby black shadows weren’t budging. What was worse is that they seemed to be increasing in number as she spoke.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” She tried to reason with them one last time before she decided to take matters into her own hands. It started with a tap of her foot, and the tinkle of a bell. Caldina began her brief dance, letting the resonance of the bells work their magic on the creatures. When she was certain that they were under her spell she stopped and started issuing orders. “Let’s try this again… stand aside”. This time the beings took heed and made way for the illusionist to pass. “Now that’s more like it~” She beamed, ready to take her leave. She strode confidently between them, without any fear that they might break free of her hold. “I should have you guys greet those little missies. In a swarm like this you’d be sure to make quite an impression~!”
Suddenly, she came to an abrupt stop. “There’s more of them?!” Before her she could see that the woods, and the nearby cliffs were teeming with life, all of which resembled these yellow-eyed shadows. “This Cephiro place must be falling apart quicker than anyone realizes…”
“Maybe.. I’ll just head back the way I came…” She added nervously. Sure she wanted to earn her pay but this was ridiculous. Turning to retreat, she ran right into the largest of these creatures yet! The disgusting thing beat it’s fists on top of it’s belly before leaning forward and blasting fire out of its mouth. With a few swift flips, Caldina managed to barely avoid most of the flames, but the edges of her cape were singed. “Alright! I’m tired of playing Miss nice girl!” The ensuing battle was fierce, but Caldina was completely outnumbered and swamped by the foreign menace.
As she felt herself falling prey to the creatures, and being swallowed by the darkness she could hear a voice calling out to her. “CALDINA, CALDINA!!!”
“As-..cot?” She answered weakly, unsure whether he’d actually been calling out to her or if it was some trick of the mind as she lost consciousness.
Hours passed before she awoke in some strange land, had her cloak not still bared the evidence of the skirmish, and had she not sustained other injuries in the process, she might have thought that it had all been a dream.
