CREATURE INFORMATION
Do they have any abilities related to their species? If yes, explain.
positive aspects of their ability(ies): spirit knell - she can help the dead souls / trapped souls pass on and beyond, or return them to their path. || instant downside to the power is that is leaves her drained. ghost saying - communicating, conjuring and commanding spirits ( commanding to the lesser extent as it has it's tricks and downsides ), voluntary spirit semi-possessions. soul warding - she can keep herself and those around her safe with particular, special made protective wards - but they have certain limitations ( must be renewed yearly or monthly, depending if an outer part of shield had been breached/scratched, and the stronger the shields the stronger the protection ) negative aspects of their ability(ies): cannot raise the dead. - no matter the wails or sorrows ( and prayers ), she can't. dead's dead. at least in that original body, but spiritual possession is a no-no. dead-sight - the dead can't lie but they can manipulate and evade, and she is susceptible to their illusions. dread-drain - since yingxue leans on the more powerful side of the spirit witchens, the drawbacks are more serious. when she gets tired or drained after mediumship / necromancy rituals, a bit of madness seeps into her mind. she often needs to isolate and be left to her own devices for at least a couple of hours ( but one time lasted for two whole days ) to get it out of her system.
do they have any above average abilities related to their species?
above average strength? no above average intelligence? yes above average agility? no above average durability? no special abilities? yes. ties to the above average intelligence section. spirit searing - she can gather information and knowledge from the spirits she is conversing with but is limited to the accuracy and knowledge of the spirit in question. she'd been wrong only twice in her life, but that was the dead's fault.
what are some things they know how to do that are NOT based on their species?
she knows how to ride a horse and is a great sailor.
what is their relationship to their house?
How do they feel towards to other members of the house? she adores her adoptive family as they are the only thing she'd known her entire life. she doesn't really remember her blood family - she'd been a babe of mere 13 months when she was left all alone. so, she dotes on the Lunablossoms and considers them her blood family, even if majority of them are not even the same species. she is very doting and devoted to them and stived to protect them of all seen and unseen trouble.
what is their relationship with other houses?
Are there any houses that they hate/love/tolerate? Are they looking for an alliance with a specific house? as per her family's instruction, she's weary of the Moonfangs, but truth be told she's weary of everyone as she tends to keep to herself most of the time.
What is their goal this season?
she would say marriage, but she's dreading the idea of marrying into another family - ideal would be to find someone to marry into the Lunablossoms. also finding a friend would be nice.
what are some connections your character would like to form?
friends. kindred souls. (hopefully not the dead one. the undead are fine.)
HEADCANONS.
Ever since she could remember, she had been the youngest daughter of the Lunablossom family - even if she had not been related by blood to any of them. The only thing Yingxue knows of her blood family is that they were spirit witchens - and the more powerful ones, given how swiftly and early her powers had manifested. She struggled with the power sometimes, the madness that follows the delicate element of aether, the spirit essence, sometimes being too much of a burden for someone so young and radiant.
so she shut herself off from the majority of the world. While Yingxue is dreading this season, at least she doesn't dread the matchmaking - she knows no one in their sane mind would push for a union with a spirit witchen as well as she knows her mother would never force her to marry just for the sake of duty. While she does wish to help her family in any way she can ( even by the bounds of matrimony ), she is dreading the idea of going somewhere else or worse still, letting someone in her secluded little bubble.
