OC reinvented due to past toxic issues
Name: Sarika Bajnok
Any other names: undecided
Age:mortal age: 18 /actual age??????
Sex:Female
Species: physical incarnation of the west wind spirit. See: other inspiration
Powers/special abilities: Varying degrees of mastering air and wind control as she grows up. Still learning.
Mostly used for defensive capabilities, she also has enhanced hearing and smell as a result of being born blind.
When extremely angry/scared, she can summon a cyclone burst, but cannot control it at the moment.
It takes focus, but levitation is possible, but only while meditating and in one place. Highest she goes is about 3 feet off the ground.
Sarika uses breezes to help her predict where a blow is coming from, and can tell whether a person is lying through a combination of breathing and heartbeat patterns.
If she is in a high place like in a tree or on top of the roof or a mountain top, she can use her control of air to help manipulate weather patterns. Coming from the west, of course.
Also has the power to suck air from an individual's lungs, like Zaheer from LoK which she discovers by accident.
Sarika is also quite flexible naturally, and uses it to her advantage to surprise people. She has extensive knowledge of human body anatomy thanks to her father, a young retired general. She can calculate where people are in her vicinity using a combination of her wind techniques and sounds they make.
However, this is only good if she is dealing with 3 or less people. Crowds overwhelm her, and as a result, she seeks more solitude than anything else to avoid hurting her ears and overwhelming her senses.
People who are stealthy, or are ninja-like types are difficult, but not impossible for her to pick up on.
Fighting Style: Sarika has incredibly fast reflexes as a result of being attuned to her powers as well as learning how to react extremely quickly while walking around blind, for her own safety. She uses minimal movements and appears to "not move while moving" in a sense. Knowing her own lack of physical strength, she uses it to her advantage to infuriate stronger opponents into making a mistake. Classic example would be something similar to this. While she does have the flexibility of Ty Lee sans fancy jumps and flips.
Height:5"/152.4 cm
Weight: 130 lbs/ 58.9kg
Physique: Muscular, pear shaped. Thicc thighs
Complexion: Light brown with freckles
Hair:wavy, long, pulled back into a messy bun because she doesn't have the patience to comb out or style her hair. Wears a headband to keep things mostly controlled. Dark brown almost black hair
Eye color:silver
Any other notable physical attributes: Extremely flexible, blind, extremely light on her feet.
Has a hard time with going too fast for her senses and occasionally crashes into things/people/creatures as a result.
Intelligence level: Naïve, extremely curious, and is always thirsting for more knowledge.
Since she cannot read or write, Sarika would often ask others to read for her. She retains a lot of information and is extremely bright in that regard.
Mental condition:Far too curious for her own good, it's always getting her into trouble. Sarika is a very hands on learner, and sometimes has problems understanding boundaries as a result.
Style of speech: Southern Alabama accent (example)
Religion: quite unsure, but ascribes to certain philosophies in animism.
Occupation: still trying to figure out as well, currently on *vagabond* status after an unfortunate incident forced her to flee her village.
Socioeconomic status: Whatever she has in her rucksack at the time. Currently trying to find refuge. She was an adopted daughter of a general, considered a gift from the spirits.
Social status:Nomad
Likes:Spoons (both wooden and metal to make music), learning new things, puzzle boxes, her guiding staff (affectionally called Thumper), trying new foods and exploring new places. Feeling new materials or different types of surfaces and textures. Whacking bullies senseless with her staff.
Dislikes:Being considered "frail" or "weak" because she is blind and female. Books. Tight clothing. People helping her without asking. People trying to take advantage of her because she is blind and female.
Personality:Sarika is a very stubborn and persistent individual. She is very passionate in her thirst for knowledge, and it bothers her immensely that she cannot perceive colors. She was blind since she was small and has no concept of such things, and people trying to describe them to her leave them both quite frustrated. Having grown up in a sheltered village in the mountains, Sarika is also quite naïve to the ways of the world she is in. Her first response is to touch people or animals so that she can "see" them, but this has resulted in many awkward exchanges with humans at least.
Ambitions:Find someone or something to restore her sight, discover new things, and to escape this unsightly feeling she is being stalked by someone.
Habits:Sarika sees through touch. Her first reaction to a new person is to feel their clothes, their skin, their face, ect. It has taken some time for her to understand that this is unacceptable (especially without asking). She still has a habit of touching flora and fauna out of reaction, and for some reason, the animals do not lash back at her, and are most often confused. Sarika steps lightly, much like a dancer, and uses her walking stick to guide her.
Unbeknownst to her, it is the same branch from the tree of life that she tried to cling desperately to when fighting off the North Wind. The branch has somehow magically grown up with her. Her adoptive father carved symbols of longetivity and protection spells on it. As a result, the walking stick hits far harder than a quarterstaff and is three times as robust.
Sexuality:hasn't figured it out yet.
Marital/relationship status:single and proud of it.
Known family/friends:
Adoptive Father- General Andor Bajnok (however he allows only Sarika to call him "aba" otherwise known as "father" )
Adoptive Mother- Ildiko Bajnok
others TBD
Relationship to family/friends: Sarika has no memory of her past and actual abilities at the moment. When asking her father about where she came from, he always said she was "a gift from the spirits" and refused to elaborate.
Gen. Andor Bajnok was a highly accomplished fighter as a young man and rose through the ranks quickly. He met his love one day on the training grounds, where Ildiko ended up besting him during an exercise. Completely smitten, Gen. Andor eventually married her.
For many years after the Great War, he and Ildiko struggled to have a child together. Ildiko was completely distraught with grief while her husband felt extremely guilty and cursed by the gods of the realm. Andor felt that the inability to have a son was due to the bloodshed on his hands and he yearned to make reparations some how.
During one of his many walks in his personal forest up in the mountains, Andor met a traveling monk and begged for the monk to aid him reverse his fortunes.
The mysterious monk nodded and told Andor to pray to the wind spirits for guidance, as his pleas had fallen on deaf ears with the gods and goddesses of their realm. Andor, quite confused, but desperate, hastily agreed to pray for a child from the wind spirits.
The night Sarika came as a blind babe, the winds howled and the night was so dark, no star or moon could be seen. Clutching her broken branch tightly in a small basket, she wept and cried all night until dawn when Gen. Andor and his wife opened the door, completely baffled.
Bitterly disappointed that the babe was both blind and female, Gen. Andor wanted to cast the infant aside and forget the whole ordeal and agreement he had made with the mysterious monk. However, his wife, Ildiko, smacked him and said that no gift from the spirits, especially the unpredictable wind spirits, should be scorned at.
In time, General Andor began to realize what Ildiko meant.
Brief history:The spirit embodiment of the West Winds, Sarika enjoyed traveling across nations and worlds to learn about the creatures that lived there, and what life was like for them. However, she could never stay still for long, before she would continue onto her travels. No person could pin her down, no matter how much they begged. While Sarika enjoyed company of others, the visiting of new places and cultures and her zest for exploration was far more important. To those that welcomed her, however brief, she would leave gifts and blessings that she could before taking off once more.
Sarika did this for centuries; her excitement for knowledge never dimmed or waned. There were even places she would visit again that were kind to her, just to see how things had changed.
The North Wind spirit began to notice that even though he was a herald of seasons changing and winter to come, people did not quite pay as much attention to him as he liked. The North Wind preferred to stay with the colder elements, only venturing out when it was time to change the seasons from summer and spring to fall and winter.
As a result, he began to grow jealous of the West Wind, Sarika. He felt that the wind spirits should only stay in their respective regions, Sarika never did. Within him grew a longing to be admired as Sarika, and an urge to control her, for it never suited well that she received more thanks than him.
Many times, the North Wind, the most powerful of all the wind spirits, tried to woo her, tried to tell her to adjust her travels to only specific regions. Sarika rejected it all, instead opting to expand her explorations overseas and oceans instead of just lands where she found great fun and company with sailors of all types.
Furious, the North Wind decided to teach the West Wind a lesson or two, since he could not bend her under his wishes in any way, shape, or form. The North Wind came after the West Wind like a howling gale and caught her. He cast her down towards one of the realms to have her spirit encased in flesh, with a cruel caveat—she would be blinded, and never allowed to see the joys of the world she was cast down to.
In her desperate attempts to fight off the North Wind, the West Wind had grasped one of the branches from the tree of life, but it broke in her hand from the sheer power of the North Wind’s beatings.
Sarika, as she called herself, was stuck in the flesh of a human, with her memories wiped. She would begin on the earth as a small blind child with a stick, and once the North Wind decided she had learned her lesson properly, he would come and free her---to be with him of course.
Anything else: Current visualization(s) of Sarika
