Name: Pur'eshka "Pur" Salix (Salix is the scientific name for willow trees)

Age: 19

Gender/Pronouns/Sexuality: Non-binary, presents as feminine|They/she|Queer/Ace

Appearance: Pur'eshka is a Haon, a race similar to that of a dryad or leaf spirit. They are humanoid-esque in shape, standing at about 7 1/2 feet (2.2m) tall. Being born in the winter, they take the form of a snowy willow, their hair long and wild like the branches of said tree. Their skin is a light brown with deep brown and white markings across their body. Like their hair, they have a long white tail as well that brushes along the ground like a fallen branch. They have small horns on their head that resemble close to the branches of a willow, extending up from their head before drooping back down. They are often seen wearing simple cover ups such as a tank top and shorts to maximize the amount of time their body is exposed to the air.

Personality: Pur is relatively quiet, usually lumbering around outside or in the background. They aren't quite fond of other races, but has been known to attempt friendships in their own weird little way. People would describe them as having their head in the clouds, both literally because of their height and figuratively because they always seems to be staring out a window or gazing at the scenery around them. They adore bugs, pollinators specifically, but can tend to get grumpy with people who aren't respecting nature, or strangely enough, the dead.

Background: Coming from a nobility within their people, Pur was naturally pushed to attend an academy to further their growth and to hopefully secure a spot in the High Court per their family's wishes. Choosing to attend Riganois was natural, considering it was a decent distance away from their pushing family, but not too far to sever ties and disconnect from their home.

Power: Along with the ability to change into a tree to preserve energy like the rest of their people, which they only really do while "sleeping", Pur has the strange ability to use Photokinesis, or in simpler terms, manipulate light. Despite their people eating the shadows of trees, plants, and other flora, Pur is able to use both their mind and knowledge of prisms to manipulate light as they see fit. Much like a mirror, prism, or a window, they can use parts of their body to reflect light or allow light to pass through, become "invisible" (bending the light around their body), manipulate forms of light from gamma to microwaves (of light, they aren't going to be throwing microwaves at people lol), produce small amounts of heat of up to 1900k (think the color and heat of the flame of a candle), creating illusions via bending the light and changing the way the "normal" eye views it, and concentrate enough light to be able to shoot small beams. With enough time and energy, said beams could cut and/or weld metal.

Weakness: Pur's hands are very fragile, and can burn easily. They are sensitive to touch and unsurprisingly enough, always cold. They do always require some form of light, as they can only create a small amount themselves (see above), Their power does require more energy depending on the waves and amount being manipulated, visible light being the easiest, and non-visable such as gamma and radio/micro waves being more difficult. They require a lot of water, as manipulating the light dries them out and dehydrates them very quickly.

Rank: Gemstones

Previous Misdeeds: Pur has been rumored to have blinded people who disrespect nature to an unredeemable degree. Whether or not that is true, (it is, but shhhh) remains unknown to their peers.

PP?: yep!

Other: Pur is very passionate about nature and the science behind their powers, and performed the best in their science class without a doubt. They exhibit autistic tendencies such as poor eye contact, trouble making friends or forming connections, isolation, special interests, and inability to read social cues.
