Describe appearance. MUST BE ONE PARAGRAPH (5-6 sentences) LONG
Raeoki is a pale girl with light red hair. She's about 5'6 in height, making her taller then most boys and girls her age, and 100 pounds in weight, meaning she is lighter then most boys and girls her age too. Raeoki's eyes are unusually wide and are the shape of suacers...mud-brown suacers...Raeoki wears a white shirt without any sleeves, but does have shoulders...if that's what they're called...She also has a red and blue skort, red for the skirt part and blue for the short part. Raeoki also wears a green belt where she keeps her weapons and other things. When she's doing a job she wears a black apron, if she's not doing a job she tucks it in her belt, the same thing with her black ribbon when she's not wearing it.

FAMILY,
Father: Jonathon Cotwright Alive >> Teacher
Older Sister: Sarah Cotwright Dead >>Died at age eighteen while trying to escape the burning Cotwright's home.[/ul]
BACKGROUND,
Raeoki Cotwright was the youngest duaghter of Jonathon and Stacia Cotwright. Her father was gentle and kind, her mother was strict and harsh, but was a good mother none the less, and her sister was a budding artist. They lived in Maggie Vil, and were a happy family, neither rich nor poor. Their home was next to a small pond, where in summer the Whooper Swans would keep on whooping. Stacia Cotwright complained, but Raeoki never really minded. She loved the Whooper Swans, no matter how loud the birds were.
But it all ended when the Cotwright home bursted into flames.
Raeoki laid there in her bed, the sounds of crickets chirping at the night sky filled her bedroom. Instead of going to bed like she was told, Raeoki was working on a magic trick made by her. A black apron that her mother wore when she was cooking laid on her lap. "Now then..." Raeoki whispered as she fiddled around with a piece of black ribbon that she wouldn't have been able to see if it wasn't thanks to the flickering candle that sat upon her nightstand. Raeoki rubbed her palms together, the string in-between them, until at last it fell out. The the six-year-old girl smiled, as she searched for the piece of string on the black apron. Raeoki picked up the string and yawned. Tonights practice was good enough, she thought as she put the string back onto nightstand, and grabbed the candle.
With the help of the candle flame, she padded silently into the kitchen, and let the apron hang on the hook where Stacia Cotwright would put it when she didn't need it for the time-being. With a smile of achievement, Raeoki hurried back to her bedroom, blew out her candle, and fell asleep.
Outside, two bullies crept up to the house. They had been kicking around a poor, defensless toddler until Professor Cotwright had cuaght them, and had sent their parents upon them. Now, the boys wanted revenge, not even thinking that they deserved the punishment. They held large candles in both hands, and while stifling some snickers, they put the candles next to the door, and ran away. Letting the flames do their work.
It was Stacia Cotwright who sniffed the flames and awoke, sense she had the greatest nose in the family. She roased the family up and ran to the door...where the flames awaited them. Rachel held her black piece of ribbon in her sweaty hands, she stood their, shaking, staring at the burnt door surrounded by flames."The back door...quickly!" Jonathon Cotwright ordered, and they hurried over to the kitchen where the back door was.
Sarah, who was behind, was crushed by the now falling ceiling at the freshold of the kitchen. "SARAH!! SARAH!!" Raeoki screamed, as she grabbed onto the two hands of Sarah Cotwright that poked out of the debris. "SISSY!!!" She tugged with all her might to get her older sisters body out from under the fallen ceiling.
"Rachel!" Stacia and Jonathon Cotwright ran over to their duaghter, Stacia, who was fastest, swept the child up in her arms and ran to the door, followed by Jonathon. Both parents and child were out, until Raeoki kicked free and ran back into the kitchen. "RAACHEL!!" The parents screamed in unison, and ran after her, only to be blocked by falling debris.
Raeoki stared at the fallen cieling that seperated her from her parents. She looked at Sarah and scurried up to her deceased older sibling. "Sarah...?" She whimpered, before tugging at her arms once more. Until a shower of debris came down. Raeoki looked up, screamed and ran away. She looked up to see her mothers black apron, burning at the corner. Raeoki bit her lip, grabbed the apron off the hook and looked around. The only means of escaping now was a windo. With a swallow, Raeoki ran over, and opened it. The cieling above creaked, threatening another shower of flaming pieces of cieling. Taking a hint, the six-year-old girl leaped through the open window, but could still feel flames...only this time alot closer...
She looked down to see that the burning part of the corner of the apron spread fire to the bottom of her nightgown. Raeoki gasped, ran to the pond, and jumped in.
Raeoki was surprised how far she had jumped. First she was quite impressed with herself, but when she tried to swim back to the surface, she paniced, and attempted to swim, but eventually gave up and closed her eyes. The land and air felt like they were miles away...miles away...miles away.
"QUACK!"
Huh...? Raeoki quickly opened her wide eyes to see a Whooper Swan staring down at her. It was something about its eyes...they eyes were reasuring, but yet also demanding and...rather tuanting...It made Raeoki a bit peeved. What!? You think I like drowning!? She thought, and she would've said it if water hadn't flooded into her mouth. But then, the Whooper Swan was all forgotten, even though it remained there, as her lungs felt like they were going to burst any second.
Raeoki sent out muffled screams, kicking up and down. NO! NO! She thought, but then she reasurface, the water facing her back. Raeoki looked down at her feet, that were now webbed, yellow, and bird-like. Shocked, Raeoki looked to the side, to see buaetiful snowy white wings. I'm a...a...a... She glanced at the Whooper Swan, that both seemed surprised but also smirking, SEEMED of course. A Whooper Swan +Anima!? Raeoki got into a position where her legs were in the water. She looked back at her home and at the yard where bucket brigades were going as quick as they could. Where was her mother and father? Did they leave, assuming that their children were dead?
Raeoki turned back, ready to go swim like a swan over to the bucket brigades, until the Whooper Swan gave a loud whoop. Raeoki didn't assume at all that the swan was just inquiring where she was going to go, which was the truth, but instead Raeoki thought that the swan was reminding her of how much Stacia Cotwright despised the whoops and quacks of the Whooper Swans...would that mean she would hate her too? Raeoki sighed, and turned to the Whooper Swan. "You're right..." The swan blinked, and watched the child swim to shore, away from the bucket brigade. Raeoki turned to the Whooper Swan. "Goodbye."
With sorrowful eyes, the swan watched the six-year-old girl leave, a black ribbon in one hand, and a black, burnt apron in the other. That was probably why she wasn't able to swim that well, becuase of her clenched hands. [Well I can't so...]
And so, Raeoki left to become a traveler. A black ribbon to tie up her hair, and a black apron to wear while working. Raeoki never knew how to find other +Anima's without exposing herself as one, and for some reason, Raeoki resented that. So, until she turned thirteen, she traveled alone. Every year she'd get clothes that would fit her with the money she earned by doing odd jobs. That was what she decided she would be, a one-day odd job worker...person. She didn't get clothes that would be right for a certain season, she just got what was cheap and let it be as that. Of course, she complained and cursed when it got to cold or to hot, but still, she just walked on. Doing any odd-jobs around the house for one day before passing onto the next town, village, or city.
That was how Raeoki decided to live. But she did promise to herself that when she turned twenty she would return to Maggie Vil and reunite with Stacia and Jonathon Cotwright.
WEAPONS,
A beutiful lavender colored metal fan, both light-weight and lethal, Raeoki can easily smash the temple of her enemies with a fan like this. Beutiful, lavander, letha, lavander, can cool you down, lavendar, metal, oh, and did I forget to mention? Lavendar. Raeoki found it lying on the ground while she was finding some sticks to make a fire.
► A sword
Okay, here's a weapon you guys will probably agree upon...a sword. A silver, double-edged sword with a sort of blunt-ish tip, but the sides can still kill you. It has a bronze handle with brown leather covering up most of the bronze. Raeoki found it in the hands of the dead body with a hole in his chest. Obviously, the dead man had been dueling someone...[/ul]
DO PEOPLE FEAR YOU?
Not really. When they see the sword, they get sort of anxious, but then they see the fan and her clothes...
HOW DID YOU GET YOUR +ANIMA?
She got it while drowning in a pond near her home.[/sup] [/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]
