DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: //[/color] None.[/blockquote]
PERSONALITY: //[/color]
- Quiet
- The woman mostly keeps to herself. She is not unfriendly, actually, she is quite the opposite of that. A smile is always worn on her face, however, she will not be the first to make a move. She is shy and slightly socially awkward. Sometimes, she is even prone to stuttering or losing her train of thought if presented with a stressful situation, or if she is around someone much louder than her. Overall, she is friendly, she just prefers to stick in the background and watch others.
- Cautious
- Due to this War going on, she really doesn't know who to trust. Even before the War, she was very hesitant on letting someone into her life. She has developed a fine line for herself. She allows herself to get friendly with others, she just doesn't divulge every detail of her life to someone. That's probably a good thing, at least nowadays.
- Sweet
- Allie wouldn't harm a fly. At least, she'd try not to. Being a nurse is perfect for her. She loves helping out wherever she can. She very rarely raises her voice, or tells someone to go away, or declines going out even though she must wake up early in the morning for work.
- Sensitive
- It doesn't take much to hurt her feelings. Once someone starts yelling at her, the tears just well up almost immediately after. She does not bawl like a baby, but she does become deeply saddened if she knows someone is upset with her or just does not like her. She is an empathetic person and if someone feels sad, she'll feel sad, even if they're a complete stranger.
LIKES: //[/color] Helping others, light rain, sunshine, clouds, beautiful weather, music.
DISLIKES: //[/color] Blood and gore, spiders, large bodies of water.
STRENGTHS: //[/color] Her biggest strength is definitely her compassion for other people. If she can help someone, she most certainly will. She's not a Mother Theresa, though. She does know when someone truly needs help, and when someone is ill at heart and just using her. She's also good at keeping secrets.
WEAKNESSES: //[/color] She's terrible with combat and devising schemes, mainly because she doesn't want to develop any enemies... What a terrible wake-up call this War will be for her.
MY FAMILY LINE: //[/color]
As far as Magus families go, the Rossi's line is not very old at all. They've only been around for around 200 years, and still don't have a complete grasp on just what exactly they are capable of. Ever since the start of the family, they've been very focused and fond of medicines and efficient ways for patients to recover. While studying about these topics to find an alternative way, the founder of the Rossi family stumbled upon some interesting reads. They were books about magic, and how to channel it through one's self. Intrigued, he delved deeper into his research until he finally was able to use what he had learned. Knowing the rest of the Rossi line would need this information, he began to write books and scrolls on how to use their specialty.
On average, the Rossi family have 4 PrC and 13 Circuits all together, totaling 52 Prana. The same goes for Alessandra. What exactly do they use their Prana for? Since the Rossi's came into existence, each generation has used their special wind magic to perform surgeries. They are able to cut intricate, delicate incisions without ever going near their skin with a scalpel. They can move organs without damaging them, they can sew and cut and find ways to operate without causing major bleeding. It is a true gift that the Rossi's have used to make their name famous.
They have been so focused on furthering their careers that they never took into consideration that one day, one of their family members might get pulled into the Grail War. Over the years, they've stayed steadily average, working on just that one skill. With the crest now in Allie's possession, she has decided to start expanding her skills, especially since she is being dragged into this war.
MY HISTORY: //[/color] Before all of this, Alessandra had such a simple life.
During her childhood, she was passed down the family's crest, due to being the eldest. She had a mother and father, and a younger brother. Allie barely knew her father. He left when she was still young and in the process of healing from the transplant. He had wanted a son to be the heir, but it just wasn't in fate's plans.
Allie was raised by her single mother during those gruesome years of her childhood. The process was a painful one, which had her confined to her bed through most of it. She was a lonely child, quiet and kept to herself. Her only friend was her younger brother, Marcos. Even after the transplant was complete, she was still a solitary girl. She was friendly and nice enough at school, but she just couldn't hold any true bonds. When she was home was when she really let herself go. She had a spark of life in her that drove her mother insane sometimes. Allie was just enjoying being a little girl, growing up with hardly a care in the world.
When she was a teenager, her brother was diagnosed with cancer.
Unfortunately, her skill of wind craft was not the cure. It had spread through his lymph nodes and was attacking many areas of his body. He passed away just a few weeks later. Allie always knew there was something wrong. He had grown weaker, though it was a steady pace, and their mother passed it off as asthma whenever he got tired while playing with Allie. Allie always knew, and she probably could have saved him... Being the heir made it so much harder to bear. She had the talents and the wisdom of how to perform the operations, at least, but she just didn't make it in time. Her spark of life died along with her brother.
As with all tough situations, though, she eventually got through the grieving stage. Her heart is still tender from the passing of her brother, but nowadays she focuses on her schooling. The Rossi's had to work their way up to being surgeons in normal hospitals, which is the path that Alessandra was going to take eventually. For now, she is studying to become a nurse, to help people who are sick, to make up for the loss that she could have prevented.
MY GOALS: //[/color] If she wins the war, she'd wish for a cure for those deadly cancers.
EQUIPMENT: //[/color] Just herself and her cute little ribbons!
RANK: //[/color] Nones!
ELEMENT: //[/color] Wind.
EXPERTISE: //[/color] Surgery, obviously. Medicine and taking care of wounds. Y'know, doctor-y stuff.
MAGIC CIRCUITS: //[/color] Alessandra has 13 magic circuits with a quality of 4 PrC. Her maximum Prana is 52.
SPELLS: //[/color]
Razor Gale (Wind)
Rank: D
Cost: 14-18 Pr
Range: 28m
Effect: Prana is used to manipulate the atmosphere into a vacuum that can julienne a target quite effectively in a barrage of 'sharp' gusts capable of cutting through kevlar, leather, wood, and most 'light' materials. Each barrage consists of 7 gusts, costing 2 Pr each. During the initial casting, it's possible to contribute an additional 4 Pr to the spell, which will cycle the air and allow the user to cast it again in a single action manner. The result is a quicker follow-up of barrages that can potentially end up with a target shredded to bits, assuming the caster has enough prana to keep up the attack.
A three-line spell that is taught at intermediate levels, older families with this in their Crests have stabilized it to the level of One-Liner.
Razor Gale is frequently attributed to the Barthomeloi, though there are several other families who claim to be responsible for its creation. The fact that the Barthomeloi neither confirm nor deny these allegations makes the other claimants more confident in their insistence that they invented it. Unsurprisingly, however, the heads of these families tend to end up being assigned to some of the most demeaning positions in Clock Tower, such as Director for the Department of Familiar Registry, or Vice Director for the Department of Sanitation.
Wind Claw (Wind)
Rank: D
Cost: 5 Pr
Range: 2 inches
Effect: The Rossi family's signature power. Harnessing the power of the wind, Alessandra is able to extend sharp gusts of wind out in very small sizes. This is used for when she does her delicate surgeries and operations. It is mainly used for operations, but if need be, she can use it as an offensive move to claw the enemies face off. Think of the sharp gusts as long claws that extend from her fingernails.
But they do not have to be harmful! The wind can be soft enough so that she can move things without harming them, like moving an organ out of the way to cut something underneath it, etc.
The initial cost is 5 Pr, but if the surgery lasts more than 10 minutes, it costs 1 Pr per the additional minute.
Gale Glasses (Wind)
Rank: D
Cost: 10 Pr
Range: 1 inch
Effect: To help improve her eye sight during a surgery, Allie can push wind in front of her eyes to create a glass-like effect. This creates a pair of "glasses" which let her control how well she can see. It can go either way, she can make herself nearsighted or farsighted. Nearsighted helps with her surgeries so she can see more precisely, and farsighted helps her see if there's anything suspicious going on ahead of her. She can see up to 600 meters in front of her, and she can see things as small as a pin needle as long as they are within 10 feet of her.
Alessandra has been practicing this new technique by herself for a while now. She figured she could already control delicate wind at her fingers... It'd only take a bit more effort to do it around her eyes. The wind is unable to cut her, as it is not "sharp" wind.
Rank: A
Cost: 1 Pr
Range: OVER 9000
Effect: GRANTS THE ULTIMATE PROTECTIOOOOOON NOTHING CAN KILL HER TEAM EVER WHEN SHE CASTS THIS.
