VIAN BIO UPDATE (24.09.2013)
Name: Vian (Vee-ahn)
Species: Water Spirit (Dragon)
Vian is a recently awoken spirit of the River Ann; taken physical form.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Vian often appears in a more human form when wandering around or interacting with others, as she has noticed a great deal of the inhabitants of Wildgard walk on two legs. She carries the faint but fresh smell of cool water and is chilly to the touch.
In her humanesque form she appears as a medium-sized female, with teal hair, grey-blue eyes, and small horns protruding from her head. Her clothing can vary depending on the weather and occasion but will always be teal with white fur.
(See image above)
In her more natural form she appears as a slender teal dragon, and is partially covered in white fur. Stands 6 feet tall and reaches 24 feet long from snout to the tip of her tail.
PERSONALITY: Over all Vian's ruling belief is 'everything has a right to live.' She understands that life and death are two sides of the same coin, yet wishes for all to have a chance regardless of who or what they are.
Vian is quite timid and patient, but she often doesn't understand what's happening around her. The motives and passions of two-legged folk confuse her greatly and as such she is never sure how she should act when she sees conflict arise, or whether she should act at all. This is also reflected in how soft spoken she is, she would rather watch, listen, and think, rather than speak. Most often she will quietly follow those who she trusts or feels safe near, only raising her weapon in defense.
Water however can be a very destructive force and able to change in a moments notice. If she feels scared and backed into a corner, or otherwise emotionally overwhelmed, she can quickly become very feral and uncontrollable. Blinded to reason, she will strike out at any who get too close.
WEAPON:
She carries a pole-arm by the name of Hrotti, as well as stones from the riverbed to throw.

Strengths: Firm understanding of nature, not often emotional, very loyal
Weaknesses: Indecisive, detached, destructive when pushed the wrong way, often is confused, doesn't trust her own judgement.
Eats: Mainly fish from the river, but also fruits if she find them. Would like fresh vegetables if she had a chance to try them.
Habits: Collects smooth water-polished rocks from the riverbed.
When nervous or scared she'll try to make herself appear smaller and become extra quiet. She may also claw at and dig her toes into the dirt, or shift from foot to foot.
About her name: Vian isn't sure if her name was giver to her of if she created it, she just knew it was hers when she woke up. She feels it fits.
The name itself sounds similar to saying "The Ann."
Extra: Vian's body and clothes are literally made of water and natural energy, though solid to the touch. Because of the properties of her existence, if she is slain then given time her body will regain energy and heal itself, allowing her to live once more. This does not however mean she can't feel pain, and would much prefer not to get injured. The experience of being killed and re-awakening is very traumatic as well.
