APPEARANCE (FC is Kat Graham)
Jas stands at 5'3" (1.6 m). She has a petite, toned frame, that is slightly bottom-heavy. She takes mostly after her late mother, having dark green eyes, wavy black hair & light brown skin. She never lets her hair get longer than the nape of her neck.
Jas started out as a happy, sweet girl, who was taught to be distrusting of newcomers. After her parents' death, she became more practical-minded, more focused on protecting Lìomh & gaining knowledge than having fun or being kind. She’s resourceful, having found many creative ways to use her powers. She also is willing to kill anyone who she thinks is a threat to herself or Lìomh, though she can't bring herself to hurt children.
Her father was a Rider, specifically a spy for Navarre who was sent to look for weak spots & hiding places along the border. He met Jas's mother, a messenger for Poromiel. The two fell in love & focused on raising little Jas with the help of their "family friends" (the brown daggertail, Lìomh [LEE-iv] & the gryphon, Orkanen. Unfortunately, Jas’s mother & Orkanen disappeared one day & never returned to the family’s meeting spot. Jas’s father took Jas to live closer to Navarre, wanting her to have a safer life. Years later, Jas’s father died in a fight with an orange scorpiontail, which kept chasing Jas & Lìomh. They ended up winning the fight, with Lìomh injured & slightly disoriented after losing his rider. Jas pulled magic from the earth to heal him, terrified of losing her last family member. The 2 would go on to travel in an attempt to avoid the war, never staying in one place for too long. Jas decided to routinely practice pulling small amounts of magic from the ground, against Lìomh's warning. She has stopped feeling guilty about being venin, but she also has no desire to join the main group or drain anyone without good reason. Jas & Lìomh have a relationship similar to that of friends, or maybe an uncle & niece.
Jas bonded with Lìomh, just like her father did before her. So, she also has the signet of visual illusion, which she typically uses to render herself and/or Lìomh invisible, or to make her reddish eyes appear normal.
Veninism: she's fairly comfortable with the art of drawing magic from the earth itself. She uses it sparingly, typically to heal herself or Lìomh, enhance her acrobatics, or to add sound-altering aspects to her illusions.
Weapons: she favors using dual shortswords.
Acrobatics: Jas can do some tumbling, bouldering & handstands.
Hand-to-Hand Combat: Jas was trained by her father until he died, meaning she hasn't sparred with anyone since she was 15.
Runes: besides what she's read in books she's stolen & what Lìomh has explained, Jas has had no formal education or practice with runes.
