Full Name: Galine Polnoca
Nickname: Leah, Kitten
DOB/Age: 20 March // 16
Physical Description: Behind shoulder length, mouse-brown hair hides hazel eyes and a shy smile. Galine stands at 5'4", willowy and timid. There's also the little fact of her steampunk-esque, mechanical goats' legs.
Personality: For being a HUGE tomboy, Galine's actually very shy, timid, and and meek. She grew up outside of social normalcy, therefore is very socially immature and doesn't know how to act or hold herself around other people, her family aside. She prefers to be alone, whether in a tree, her room, or at her clearing in the room, and doesn't really take kindly to many social situations or invasive events. Though she has no problem being raised Pagan, she prefers to hide her ability to use spells and being a pseudo-alchemist; her religion also raised her to be quite the pacifist - any weapon she holds, she holds for self-defense or for rituals. An introvert and pacifist she may be, however, she is very well-rounded and eloquent with her speech and could very easily worm her way around an argument or debate, she just prefers not to.
History: She was born and raised on a small farm on the edge of the Old Wood with her parents and brother, Seth, with little knowledge of the outside world and its rapid industrialization and decadence. Since her birth, her parents taught a fierce Pagan belief system, as well as knowledge of other Old World religious practices. Through this, Galine holds a deep love for all things nature, especially the forest, but it also caused the biggest turning point in her life. About 6 years ago, while she was climbing trees and jumping from branch to branch, she slipped and fell the 40ft to the ground. Unfortunately, her legs were snagged and caught in the branches and when her parents found her, her legs were as good as toothpicks. Devastated, her father tried to fabricate her some new legs, but had no idea how to make human legs from metal or alchemy. He did, however, know how to make goat legs. Through the thought process that some legs are better than none, he made his daughter a new pair of goat's legs, turning her into a bastardized form of a faun. As she began practicing mobility with her new legs, she stumbled and fell down a hill into this strange little clearing she'd never seen before in the forest. As she stumbled/crawled/walked around, she saw what appeared to be an old shrine. Digging around, she saw what appeared to be a broken and aged statue of Awenhai, the Anasazi earth goddess. She took it home, cleaned it up, and placed it on a shelf above her bed where it still stands today. Since that day, Galine began to notice she had a way of communicating with nature, and could soon move through the woods with astonishing grace, silence and agility, despite her legs.
Occupation: N/A
Character Level: Student
Character Class: Witchcraft
Class Description: She gets her powers mainly from her upbringing through her parents, as well as random flittings through their private library. Being raised a Pagan, Galine was immersed in spells, rituals, and a lot of spirituality since she could remember, becoming a part of her everyday thinking, just like any other major religion. The first major spell she did without reference (or permission) was a few days after she hurt her legs - a simple pain relief experiment that resulted in her stomach shrinking. She keeps an array of ingredients either on her person or nearby, just in case, and often experiments and tries to create new spells just for fun.
Skill Class:
Weapons/Tools : Hand-made arrowhead spear, flint, and a small dagger.
Pets/Familiars: Seth's goat, Czernobóg, a few chickens, and her cat, Enodia.
Like: Trees, nature, animals, solitude, astronomy, astrology
Dislikes: People, the Urban Jungle, Seth's bad moods, violence
Anything Else?: She can speak French.
