Female  Middle aged (haven't decided how old yet).  Lieutenant.  Transmuter (yeah yeah...just don't give me any grief :p).  About mid-power level but w/very good control.  Focus: singing.  Long black hair w/some whisps just starting to turn white w/in the last year.  Blue eyes.  Short.  A bit plump (resulting from a more sedentary life teaching at the Academy).  Originally from Derico.  Wealthy family.

She's basically an affable person.  Has a genuine smile for everyone. Doesn't really enjoy singing though and doesn't have much of a talent for music.  Has a good voice though and is well trained (her control and power relates to how well she sings...clear pitch and tone equals better control; louder equals more power... when she shouts, be afraid. ;)). This combination probably explains why her power's only mid-level.

She was chosen to be Bando's instructor b/c she doesn't let "problem cases" get to her.  She doesn't psych out easily and never gives up. Also their magical talents are the same, and they both use a form of art to produce their magical effects.  Like almost every Roug, she has that necessary stubborness (or am I the only one to notice that trend ;)), but she seems to be especially adept w/children and teens (one of the reasons the Academy has her teaching instead of staffing some station). Being from Derico was also a plus.  It helps her to verbally spar w/any real trouble-makers.  She's taught Bando a thing or two in that area. ;)

She's very proper, having been raised in Derico.  She was taught to call everyone by their title or Mr. Ms. etc. and their last name if appropriate.  (i.e. Bando is "Student Voskel"  Coul is "Lt. MacFinn" Amaris is just "Commander" (at least until we know what her last name is).)  Even in informal company, she will act properly.  This doesn't stop her from having fun.  She enjoys an evening of gossip or discussing magical theory as much as she enjoys dancing and balls, which is quite a lot. =)  She's not a rowdy person, and she tends to make friends with more quiet individuals.

Her fighting style is the Snake.  She's also proficient with short sword and staff to help extend her somewhat limited reach.  She's passable w/a crossbow, but if she's going to be doing anything at a distance, she'll probably be using her main talent (listed below) instead.  Even though she's a little on the heavy side, she can still be a quite effective combatant.

Her basic areas of magic are:

Disruption -- that is causing objects to vibrate until they come apart, usually rather explosively.  This was her original talent.  Basically she changes the substance's vibrational pitch to be sympathetic w/the natural surrounding noises (which usually ends up being her voice ;)). The more substances she's trying to affect, the more difficult it is to accomplish.  She can't disrupt living things (including demons if the opportunity ever comes up and she tries).  She's limited to affecting a spherical area about two meters in diameter at a time.  Not very large, but then again, neither are RL grenades, and you know the kind of damage *those* can cause. ;)  Obviously more rigid substances (like the many types of stone) are also easier than maleable ones (like metals).  Her control with this talent is exceptional, and her power is respectable. She's gone about as far as she can w/this talent.

Earth-shaping --  basically like what Bando does, but she works on a much grander scale and w/much less detail.  She can create bridges out of stone, but a simple hand sized ball is beyond her.  Don't expect anything smooth either.  Her talent in this area is nothing resembling refined.  She has some basic control and lots of power.  She has some improvement to make with this talent.

Simple healing -- by singing, she can heal small bruises and cuts. Nothing serious, but it's better than nothing.  She sees this as being the opposite of her Disruption talent, though she knows it's operation has nothing to do w/vibrational frequencies.  She has good control, but little power with this talent.  There's a great deal of improvement she could make w/this talent.

What else....hmmm not sure.  Questions welcome, though I'm happy to let someone else come up w/info as well. ;)  I consider Andeline (she wouldn't like her name shortened, though Bando calls her Andi when she's not around (and Lt. (or Instructor) Vahkja when she is) ;)) a shared character.  By that I mean anyone can use her and come up w/more info on her personality and background, so long as it is consistant w/previous info (which I think really goes w/o saying <G>).  I just ask to have control until the end of the Y'Cha ceremony.
