Name: Qwyn
Age: 26
Race: Pretty much human. Might have a very small bit of fae metabolism in there somewhere, but no one she can specifically identify.
Favored Fighting Form: Fire, to put it simply. Being a pyrotechnical street preformer, obviously she knows how to use fire the EASY way, but she can also control it using simple magic spells that require no more concentration than breathing does. She can also create it from nothing, by using air currents and superheating them using her wrists. (Basically, she rubs her wrists together, and after a second, she pulls her hands apart and a massive bubble of flame appears between her hands) She can also swallow fire, and blow it from place to place without putting it out.
Appearance: Qwyn has normal, not dyed, red hair, but it's singed black at the tips. She normally wears it tied in an updo (not unlike Renji from Bleach). Being a street preformer, she likes to wear bright clothes that catch peoples' attention, and also has a sash that says "Qwyn, Queen of Fire" that she wears while preforming. She has a red skirt that she likes to preform in, because it's knee-high and therefore slightly harder to catch on fire than pants, and a white top that she's cut off the sleeves of, also for the purpose of evading the fire's reach. She has moderately dark, tanned skin, which has two tribal tattoos on each of her forearms. Both of these tattoos are black, and they depict tribal fire. Frightningly, her tongue is almost completely black (from trying to swallow fire before she was ready) and her sense of taste is almost nonexistant. The soles of her feet are also charred black, but that's mostly because she doesn't wear shoes, and a quick wash would easily take care of that. She has very strong leg muscles in particular, but her arm muscles arn't something to laugh about either. She's been doing gymnastics and acrobatics since she was two years old, so obviously she's very flippy.
Personality: Being a street preformer, she's obviously outgoing, good at bargaining, and very good at holding her own. She's a very bubbly person, who's good at making jokes and keeping conversation flowing. She comes up with the most random things, and just says them without holding back. She's also very hard to win an arguement against, and claims she's only lost one twice, and both times were against her own mother. Lots of people think that since she's so outgoing outside, there's got to be real pain inside, or at least a deeper level of personality, but there really isn't. She's just as bubbly outside as she is inside, even if there were a few speed bumps in her lifetime.
History: Raised by her mother only, Qwyn has grown wary of males in general since her father left before she was born. Since her mother had no real skills and was often sick, Qwyn had to learn to do something, and fast. So she became a street preformer, starting with simple betting tricks, and slowly elevating to acrobatics and dancing, and finally introducing fire into the mix, increasing her income immensely. Since the time she was 14 (when she first started using fire) food was easier, too, because she could simply focus on getting something healthy and not having to worry about taste. Of course, her mother still had a sense of taste, so she still brought in good food, but Qwyn herself could live off of things that tasted DISGUSTING, and enjoy them all the same, and feel satisfied at the end of the meal. There really havn't been many twists or turns in her life since she lost her sense of taste, just the same routine every day, trying to earn enough money to survive.
Weakness: Since her element is fire, being surrounded by ice would really take its toll on her quickly. She hates low temperatures, and fire is harder to make with colder air molecules.

Congrats grimn! You're in the real mode, now. I've no doubt that you'll surprise yourself on just how tough and mature you can be.
