Description:
Zinnia possesses a child-like appearance, standing just at 5'1" in black flat-heeled ankle boots. Her form is petite, the sleeves of her black long-sleeved sweater hiding her hands from view, the body of it eating her tiny frame in a sea of "delightfully scratchy" wool, leaving her skin covered but for her collarbones jutting from the slight scoop neck. Her black pants are more-so leggings, thick and slightly padded to keep her warm indoors, as well as the fact that a more professional pair of black pants would have barely hung onto her hip bones when she was standing, let alone moving around.
She wears a simple red ribbon around her throat, the only colour on her otherwise monochrome outfit. Even her hair, straight but for a slight flip at the ends, was a pitch black, contrasting harshly with her ivory skin that was often dusted with pink at the cheeks. Much like a doll, her face is heart-shaped, soft cheeks leading down to a weak chin, her nose small and slightly up-turned at the end. Her eyes are large and almond-shaped, the pale grey irises tinted ever so slightly by threads of pale green. Her eyelashes are long and thick, giving her a feminine, demure air.
Rather pretty though not quite beautiful, she appears much more like a doll than a budding healer, to the point of near eeriness when her eyes go blank in concentration.
Personality:
Despite her child-like appearance, Zinnia is painfully serious when it comes to her chosen field of study, devoting herself with single-minded vigor to the art of healing and Light magic. Somber and quiet when healing or performing magic, she is nearly the opposite when it comes to almost every other aspect of her life. When not practicing or learning new magic, she is dreamy and energetic, unable to focus on a task for very long, to the chagrin of her weaponry professors. She approaches most with friendliness and a kind heart, though she often comes across very empty-headed when she is busy babbling.
History:
The single daughter of a nobleman and his wife, Zinnia was named after a brightly-coloured flower, and was cultivated to be just as bright and pleasant. Sick and frail as a child, she could not play as the other children did, often daydreaming at her window as her mother read to her or her father sang. Around the age of twelve years, an apparent miracle happened- Zinnia began to grow stronger. She did not grow anymore in size, instead her body becoming less and less frail, until the girl could play along with the other children as much as she wanted to. Encouraged, and thankful, her parents sent her to the Academy when she began to show a promise of magical skills, much to the worry of the girl.
However, after three years, Zinnia has grown more confident in both her abilities as a healer and herself as a person.
Very little seems to dim the light that shines from within her.
Other:
She occasionally takes spells of weakness, in which she is bed-ridden for a few days.
Relationships:
None, as of yet.
