Saphira the Bookwyrm (Player Character)

Appearance

Base Appearance:

When Saphira uses magic, white paper-like scales appear all over her body. With her modest clothing, they are primarily visible along her cheeks and covering her hands.

Description

Saphira struggles to recall her past, but fragments of memories linger, particularly one of a village engulfed in flames. Despite the gaps, she's pieced together some truths: she belongs, at least in part, to a race with white, paper-like scales, imbued with a deep connection to magic. This lineage is marked by innate spells centered around book care and library management.

After her memory loss, Saphira found herself in the quaint village of Rosewood, where she got a job assisting the local librarian with the spells she just seemingly knows. This was a light job where she got all the time she needed to read to her heart’s content, but no matter how many books she went through in this library, she could never find anything that might hint towards her lineage. Even though it was pretty clear she wasn’t going to learn anything about her past here, Saphira stuck around to finish reading the entirety of what the library held, but that time is coming to an end, and she is soon to set out in the world…

Abilities

Paper Cuts - With a bit of physical enchantment magic, the claws that appear when Saphira uses magic can turn quite dangerous… or at least dangerous enough to bypass some of a midara’s defenses and leave them with some very thin scratches. (Deals 2 damage)

Arcana Beam - Cupping her hands, Saphira charges up a ball of blue energy before unleashing it at her opponent in a beam. She will get embarrassed if her opponent calls her out for taking this attack straight from a certain manga. (Deals 3 damage)

Ice Shards - Over each of her shoulders, a sharp icicle forms before soaring at her opponent. (Attacks twice, deals 2 damage per hit)

Earthquake - There’s nothing fancy here, just a spell that shakes the ground at enough of an intensity to certainly cause Saphira’s opponents to fall on their butts. (Deals 1 damage and downs)

Lightning Bolt - Pointing a finger to the sky, then quickly bringing it down and pointing at her opponent, Saphira conjures a bolt of lightning to strike them. (Deals 2 damage and chance to stun)

Entanglement - Vines and roots race across the ground towards her opponent, rapidly wrapping around and holding them in place, making them quite an easy target for Saphira. (Independent bind that gives attacks against the bounded advantage)

Sounds like we have a fan of Eragon here!

I'm actually not. I don't think I've read that book, or at least if I did, I was very young and don't remember it at all.

Ah, I see. The reason I assumed is because Saphira is the name of one of the main characters, a blue-scaled dragon. The second reason is because your character is called the Bookwyrm. That said, your character seems like a pretty fun idea. Hope you have fun with her in UHL.
