Sorry to hear that, but thanks for checking it out 😁
“Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.”
“Do. Or do not. There is no try.”

Name: Pepper
Age: 19
Appearance: Lithe as a willow and just standing over 5'7", Pepper may appear to be one of the more delicate of the sisters, resembling something closer to a flower petal than a grand oak. But in spite of her deceptive build, Pepper is never one to bend or break under even the strongest gale and she refuses to wither as long as her sisters need her.

Pepper prefers loose, comfortable, and flowing clothing. Generally made of natural fibers, usually made herself, and if she's in a familiar place, she's almost always not wearing shoes.
Goddess' Gift: The Goddess mother gifted Pepper with her touch of life. With this magic Pepper has an uncanny ability to grow and nurture plant life of any variety, and with incredible speed. She also possesses an unrivaled knowledge of plants and their attributes, and how to use them. From potions to poisons and everything in between.
Witch's Gift: Fatimah's Scythe, despite its dangerous appearance the tool represents the harvesting of crops to nourish the body. In Pepper's hands the scythe acts more like a tool to amplify her magic, allowing her to heal wounds or restore the body and mind. Her focused energy can cleanse her opponents of anger or violence, or make it difficult for them to be deceitful. The Goddess Mother can even reach through her enough to reverse death itself, but the toll this would take on Pepper could potentially be fatal.

All the same, Pepper still finds the scythe to appear a little grim. So she hangs a wreath of flowers from the blade.
Personality: Pepper is whimsical and high spirited, joyful and energetic. She has a tendency to always see things in a glass half full perspective, and manages to find the beauty in practically everything she sees.
She's prone to bouts of fancy and has a tendency to spontaneously break out into song, even when she doesn't know the words, or dance even when there's no music. Sometimes it seems like the rhythm of her heart is all the music she needs.
History: When she was borne, Pepper was placed in a small grove, just past the treeline of a great, dense, forest. Who placed her there, and whom would leave such a perfect, delicate, little babe alone in the woods is unknown to this day. But even in her adult life, Pepper would hold no resentment for the human mother that made such a decision. Especially with the knowledge that it was all the plan of the goddess that left her in that grove alone, surrounded by wildflowers and clover, for her disciple to discover. Even as a baby she must have known that there was so much more in store for her, because all the time she spent alone, she never cried once. Just relaxed amongst the flowers, playing with a bumblebee.

As she grew, Pepper showed a natural talent for helping things grow, and spent most of her time out in the witch's garden. A garden that, before Pepper took it over, was just a little patch of dirt near her home, growing just enough to season a broth now and then. By the time Pepper was a teenager, the garden had grown to cover most of the grounds of their sanctuary, and grew crops of all kinds. From herbs and spices, to fruits and vegetables, even some of the most exotic flowers anyone had ever seen sprouted up under Pepper's nurturing hand.

Maybe it was her delicate watering or precise feeding that helped her garden grow. Or perhaps her warm and positive energy, as she sang to her tomatoes and danced around the corn stalks. Maybe it was all of these things, and the touch of their goddess, that brought every seedling to sprout without hesitation for the magical young woman.
So their pantry stayed full of fruit, and their cupboards stocked with spices.

Really the only downside that could be found was that Pepper didn't discriminate among what grew in her garden. So along with all the flowers and crops, dandelions and other vegetation most saw as undesirable, grew freely in the soil. But Pepper didn't mind. It was life, and that's what was important.

Pepper looks awesome!

Yay! Happy to have you on this epic adventure 😁


Also for everyone, I have created a map for our epic adventure to give you some idea of the journey our characters will be on. I don't want to give away too much, but if you have any questions feel free to ask them!

#31
Name: Yuria
Age: 20
Appearance:  The second tallest of the sisters, only shorter than Calantha by an inch or two, Yuria is an impressive sight to anyone who sees her. Blessed by their goddess mother, just like her sisters she's a beauty to be told. Slim body and feminine face. If anyone saw Yuria wearing regular female dresses, they'd think she was royalty. But Yuria never cared for looking like regular women.
Goddess' Gift: Reflect. Opposite to Yuria's offensive style as she's more of a fighter than a defender, she was blessed with a spell that protects her from harm and reflects it back to the attacker. Be it an arrow, blade or magic spell. After training and enhancing her power, she also managed to shape this spell into a barrier that she can push in front of her or others, serving as a magic barrier to protect them.
Witch's Gift: Darkdrift, A cursed sword with an unseen blade. The blade of this katana is invisible to any mortal's eyes, even it's wielder, making it a very dangerous weapon. Only after rigorous training, most of which involved being blindfolded, was Yuria able to wield this weapon without any trouble.
Personality: Described frequently as the "quiet type" Yuria isn't much one for words unless she's with her sisters, the only ones she opens up with. Calm and collected. She rarely loses her cool and sees everything very analitically.
History: Yuria knew nothing about her past life before the witch took her in. All she had from her birth family was a scar that was left on her stomach. After being born, the husband of her mother, who unfortunately died during her birth, believing she was the product of a lover, tried to kill her with a sword, but the blade cracked upon touching her skin, thanks to Yuria's protection, leaving her only with a scar. Days later, having given up in killing her, the man simply instructed one of his servants to take her away so he would never see her again. So the servant put her in a basket and threw her into a river. The current carrying her far far away, until she was eventually found, days later, by the witch in the woods near the temple.

After having been taken in by the witch, the only woman Yuria would ever consider to be her true mother, she grew up very interested in the way of the blade, becoming the only one of the 4 sisters to become a swordswoman. Her training was rigorous. Having gotten many wounds as she didn't use her Aura during them. Fighting blindfolded, with two blades, with one giant blade, with a hand or a leg tied. Many different ways. But she never gave up. Being the eldest of the sisters, she felt it was her responsability to keep them safe, even though she knew they all knew how to handle themselves as well.

But Yuria never cared for looking like regular women.
Goddess' Gift: Aura of Power. A special spell known only by Yuria that allows her to empower herself or any object she touches with incredible strength. When used on herself, she finds that she's harder to be wounded and whatever wounds she does get heal faster than normal. When used in an object, it becomes more resistant or in the case of a blade, sharper. Even a wooden sword is able to cut deep if empowered by her spell.
Witch's Gift: Darkdrift, A cursed sword with an unseen blade. The blade of this katana is invisible to any mortal's eyes, even it's wielder, making it a very dangerous weapon.

Yuria looks epic 😁

Now that we have four characters we have enough to get this rp going, but I’ll leave it open a little longer to see if there’s anyone else.

Edited my Goddess' Gift to be a bit different from yours Yoda.
