Name: Linnea Bryant

Nickname: Lin, Linnie (family only)

Gender/Pronoun: She/Her

Age: 27

Birthday: May 28

Sign: Gemini

Gemstone: Pearl

Blood Type: B-

Fav. Food: International cuisine - French, Indian, Thai, pretty much anything that's not from the US

Hated Food: Bland, flavorless food; food that is more calories than it's worth

School/Occupation: Ballet teacher out of her own studio, On Pointe

Hobbies:

- Dance: Since she was a little girl, Lin has always been moving. To hear her mother tell it, she'd been on the move since even earlier, dancing away in the womb to any music that was on. As she grew, Linnea turned her passion into her vocation and followed her dream to New York, where she eventually joined the American Ballet Theatre. An injury sent her home back to Destiny City, but she enjoys spending her time teaching the next generation of future principal dancers.

- Yoga: It began as a way to remain limber for ballet, but it has developed into a full-blown practice for Lin. In addition to morning and evening yoga - done outside in the nearest park whenever the weather permits - Linnea attends a weekly yoga class to keep her honest.

- Trashy Reality TV: Don't tell anyone. Linnea likes to pretend she's Evolved and Lofty up there on her high horse, but after a bad day, there is nothing better than a glass of rose and some Real Housewives. She's only human. She will, occasionally, even go on a secret twitter to liveblog the show and connect with other fans, but hardly anybody in her real life knows about this side of her interests.

Virtues:

- Put Together: Linnea is the sort of girl who says 'I woke up like this' and you actually almost believe it. She is neat, orderly, and never appears to be externally ruffled, and this presentation is important to her. The life of a ballerina is an exacting one, and there is no room for mess if one wants to be a success.

- Reserved: Linnea keeps herself to herself, for the most part. She doesn't go out of her way to join group activities, and she mostly finds other people her age to be loud, overdramatic, and just plain annoying. She's usually happier with a cup of coffee and a good book, but every so often, someone will cross her path and she'll feel it's worth her time to come out of her shell. She has found that her tendency to think before she speaks, and her restraint when she does speak, has saved her a lot of drama, angst and heartache over the years.

- Patient: It takes a lot to become a principal ballerina, and for a long time, that was all Linnea thought of. Now, she uses that reservoir to keep herself from losing her temper with the 5-year-olds who don't even know how to spell 'barre', much less the correct way to hold onto one.

Flaws:

- Snooty: Linnea kind of thinks she's better than most people, and she doesn't have as strong a pokerface about this as she thinks she does. This has led to people thinking she's cold and judgy, and she is sometimes, but she also does have a case of resting b***h face that turns people off.

- Self-centered: The world of professional ballet dancing is dog-eat-dog, so by default, Linnea has had to prioritize herself over everything - and everyone - else, for a very long time. She doesn't think there's anything wrong with that, though; after all, who else is she supposed to be centered on? While she's not selfish in terms of sharing her things or only talking about herself, at the end of the day, Linnea knows that she has to be her own number one priority if she's ever going to accomplish anything.

- Critical: As patient as Linnea is, especially with small children, she is the epitome of holding others to same high standards she holds herself. If she feels you are not meeting those standards in some way, she will let you know about it. She won't go out of her way to be cruel, but she feels her opinion is warranted, she will be blunt about your shortcomings. Sometimes she forgets to also be blunt about what someone is doing well, but she's trying to work on that.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: see ref

Hair: see ref

Face: see ref

Skin Tone: see ref

Body Type: see ref

Clothes: Linnea likes pretty, well-made attire. She also enjoys vintage clothes and will sometimes spend hours finding just the right piece. She also will occasionally sew her own clothes, but she hasn't had the time for this since high school. She does not tend to wear t-shirts, favors sundresses or multi-layered Outfits, and firmly believes that sweatpants are only to be worn at home.

Knight Title: Cristal, Page of Cosmos

Wonder Description: Cristal is a museum, if museums were cathedrals. It seems to be constructed mostly of stardust, crystal and magic instead of stone, wood and cement. In the olden days, as they traveled, Cristal would collect any cultural icons that planets were willing to part with, promising to care for, protect and display them, allowing people from many cultures to learn about each other in a safe space. It was considered a great honor to have artifacts stored at Cristal, though many of them have now been lost to time, or need to be restored to their former glory along with Cristal itself.

Uniform: Reference - I know it'll need to change in future stages to be brought in line! I will be leaning more into the mucha style, but largely leaving it up to CC to make work bc I'm bad at clothes.

Top -- see ref - if there's a way to keep her neck thing, that'd be cool!
Bottoms -- see ref
Gloves -- Would love some in the future! I'm thinkin opera gloves or something simiar lol
Belt -- Would love something similar to her current neck thing!
Shoes -- The featherier the better
Shoulders -- CC
Accessories -- CC

Weapon & Magic

Page Weapon: Feather

Squire: The single feather has become a feather fan, similar to this. It can definitely prevent someone from suffering heat stroke, but can't do damage in and of itself.

Magic: With a sweep of the fan, Cristal sends a wave of small, glittering stars out in a 15 ft radius. These stars will begin to heal all allies of minor and moderate damage. The sensation is warm and comforting, like the brush of downy feathers over their skin. She can channel her magic for forty five seconds; it takes 30 seconds of her magic pool to completely heal moderate injuries.

Knight Weapon: The feather fan has evolved into a pair of large ostrich-feather-looking fans, connected by an ornate silver chain (similar to this but smaller in size). The metal frame in the fans can do blunt damage if the target is struck with appropriate speed and force.

Suggested Knight Magic: With a sweep of her great fans, Cristal sends a wave of tiny, glittering stars in a 20 ft radius. As the stars land on her allies, they will begin to rapidly heal. Her magic can heal all minor and moderate injuries, and can temporarily stabilize severe injuries. It feels warm and comforting, and the target may feel reassured that this moment is not the end, giving them some emotional stability as well. If enemies are within radius while the magic is being channeled, the stars will stick to them. The glitter bomb does no damage but may stick to characters after the magic ends at player discretion (though the stars dissipate when a marked target powers down). Cristal's magic pool lasts for 60 seconds; 30 seconds must be channeled to completely heal all moderate damage, and 45 seconds to stabilize major injuries for long enough that the target can safely get medical aid.
