Character’s Name: Sprite
Character’s Age: 18
Character’s Appearance: Short, uncooperative black hair, pale skin, slight figure, large piercing blue eyes, ringed with the black eyeliner for which she has a bit of an obsession. (She makes her own in liquid form and in her spare time enjoys experimenting with new formulas) Pointed ears that are the legacy of her quirky mother, who had them illegally genetically altered back in Sprite’s fetal days. (However she’s quite proud of them) An ethereal sort of grace, except on stairs, where she has a tendency to trip. A penchant for fashion, but always leaning towards the anachronistic and the unconventional. Usually most comfortable in something flowing but as flattering as possible that still doesn’t inhibit movement, and always wears her signature titanium torque, purple, flame-retardant velvet gloves with all but one finger cut off, and dark grey running boots.
Character’s Personality: Sprite has learned that often following orders and being conscientious and precocious can stand one in good stead. This can lead some others to think of her as a bit of a doormat or brown-noser, but they really don’t know what’s going on in her mind. Wildly intelligent and endlessly innovative, but a bit of a dreamer not quite satisfied with things as they are. Yet she’s totally fascinated with people and loves everyone unless given a reason not to, and observes and absorbs everything she sees and hears. Though usually quiet , she will always speak up when she has an opinion or idea. If someone else will talk to her first and express genuine interest, she’s more than willing to chat away a mile a minute. The flashy clothes are a bit of a cover-up for a deep-seated insecurity about her boyish figure that also leads her to tend to walk with eyes cast downwards and feel a little disconcerted and intimidated around Moiré and other attractive females. Otherwise she has little capacity or use for fear of any kind.
Character’s Position: Calls herself Potion Mistress, and the title kind of stuck. Performs experiments and puts together concoctions both for offense against the machines and defense in the form of heightened physical ability and senses.
Character’s Main Weapon(s):
The Jekyll: The choker she wears that at the push of a button becomes a slicing boomerang.
Edwina: Mahogany and metal crossbow that shoots acid-filled bolts that explode on impact. Slung across her back.
A luma: Device concealed in the intact pinky finger of her left glove, that at a verbal command acts much like a 20th century Zippo lighter. Handy for making explosive chemicals do their thing, and also for camping.
Character’s Top Subjects in School: Chemistry, English, Ancient History, Math.
Character’s Token Quotes:
"Well at least it’s never dull."
"This may sting a little."
"I’ll get right to it."
Character’s Past-Times: Marksmanship, baking, reading historical novels, concocting everything from makeup to a new kind of motor oil in her little hidden lab in her apartment.
Character’s Background: Grew up with her father and older brother until she was fourteen, then went off to boarding school to major in chemistry. Her brother later died in a mysterious accident , and since then her father has thrown himself into his work for the government and rarely has time for his daughter, which is fine by her because of his stifling personality. However his position helped her gain her place in the Digerati when she got out of school, for which she is grateful, but she has had to work extra hard to gain the respect of her companions.
