Personality Chrysalis is extremely laid-back and easy going, to the point of appearing lazy or sluggish to some people. While it's true that she's not one to rush things, she's also fairly responsible with her schoolwork and other responsibilities. Naturally calm, she is not easily fazed or annoyed, unless she is being ordered around or rushed, in which case she might get a bit confrontational. Chrysalis is very well liked and easy to get along with, which has earned her a decent social life despite her difficulty with remembering people's names. She enjoys lightly teasing people regularly and doesn't mind others doing the same to her, so long as she's not being mocked or insulted. She has good self-esteem and is generally not too concerned with others’ opinions of her, whether it be of her appearance, personality or otherwise. She does not pay much attention to how she dresses, and prefers comfort over style. However, she is very picky about personal hygiene, and thanks to her affinity for fragrances she always smells nice.

Background Chrysalis comes from a family of metalworkers and jewelry crafters from the Queendom of Roses, although some of their ancestors were originally from the Scalding Sands. Being curious and persistent as a child, she learned how to work with metal from her parents at a young age, and is fond of all forms of arts and crafts projects. She also enjoys mixing fragrances and either creating perfumes or incorporating them into handmade candles.

She has three older brothers who attended NRC when Chrysalis was young. The siblings are very close, although the boys regularly make fun of Chrysalis for being considerably shorter than them and other members of her family, which always puts her in a bad mood.

Chrysalis is a butterfly beasthuman who has not gone through her metamorphosis as of her second year at NRC.

Unique Magic/Signature Spell Chrysalis’ signature spell is called Puff. She can produce smoke from her mouth that intoxicates people and neutralizes another person’s magic. The smoke can make people feel lightheaded, sleepy, nauseous, or delirious depending on how much of it they breathe in and how concentrated Chrysalis makes it. While it affects mages and non-mages alike, it seems to have a stronger effect on people or creatures with magical abilities, as it disables these abilities completely for a short amount of time and leaves them feeling very weak overall. Once a person is affected by it, the only solution is to wait for the effects to pass, since Chrysalis can’t control the smoke once it enters another person’s system.

In a duel, Chrysalis can surround herself with her smoke and use it as a shield, as it repels magical attacks and it does not intoxicate her. However, it does block her own magical attacks, so she has to let her defense down before attacking. The amount of blot this spell produces is proportionate to the amount of smoke she releases and its concentration.

While she does not need it to use her signature spell, Chrysalis often uses a metal pipe to better control the flow, direction and concentration of her smoke. She crafted the pipe herself and always carries it with her.

Trivia

Chrysalis was a very late bloomer when it came to her metamorphosis - while most butterfly beasthumans’ wings and antennae grow when they’re around 9 or 10 years old, Chrysalis’ didn’t happen until she was almost 18 and studying at NRC. She had to spend a month and a half holed up in the dorm and taking remote classes while she dealt with the pain of her body’s transformation (and learned how to function with 3 ft wings growing out of her back). It was not a good experience for her or anyone in Heartslabyul.

Since she didn’t have any visible butterfly traits before the metamorphosis, most of her classmates didn’t know she was a beasthuman until her antennae started poking out of her head

She loves obscure, weird authors and poets, and writes experimental poetry from time to time that makes no sense to anyone else. She also entered (and won) many spelling bee contests as a kid.

As fond as she is of making weed and 4/20 jokes, she does not smoke - it’s all her magic

She’s second only to Leona when it comes to finding the best places to nap on campus

Riddle had a physical reaction to her cardigan the first time he saw it; he hates it so much

She sometimes chews on her pipe when she’s deep in thought, even if she’s not using it for her signature spell at the time

((Speaking of which, her pipe will be redesigned because what the fresh hell is that))

Can often be found singing or humming under her breath when she’s alone

While she loves and makes all kinds of jewelry, she doesn’t wear any herself that often

She doesn’t have the best memory when it comes to people, and forgets someone’s name 3 seconds after they introduce themselves
