3) Characteristics:

Background: The youngest child of three, Dālcina was born to an airship technician in the Vacuan Military and a small-time online newspaper journalist. Her early childhood was simple and carefree, as she often moved around the kingdom of Vacuo due to her father being shuffled between military bases. Due to this, her social growth was slightly stunted as she never got a chance to make proper and long lasting friends before moving again.

When she turned 13, Dālcina decided she wanted to be a Hunter simply because she thought it sounded cool. Her parents supported her decision to become whatever she wanted to be, paying for her enrollment and boarding at a Vacuan Combat School. Due to her lack of constant friendships as a child she failed to connect with her year mates, spending quite a bit of time alone in her first couple of years. She found solace in books, until one of her yearmates pointed out how anti social she had been the entire time she had been there.

She tried to change, and managed to make herself seemingly more friendly, though she still never connected with her yearmates properly. Her grades coasted along at about average, more due to a lack of effort than not understanding or not being able to do the work, and graduated somewhere in the middle of the class.

After graduation, rather than going home (to wherever her parents had moved to now, since they have been shuffled a few more times in the years she had been in combat school), Dālcina instead enrolled herself in Shade Academy. Her parents supported her in this as well, pleased that she at least had a goal to work towards in life, and payed for her enrollment.

Personality: Although she acts crazy and outgoing, Dālcina is very insecure, especially when it comes to comments about her hair. She tends not to make meaningful connections with people due to fear of being hurt by them, instead appeasing them with random but not important remarks. She talks a lot, filling silence with inane chatter due to a desire to not be left alone, and laughs along with whatever joke is being told at the moment even if she or someone else is the butt of it. An observer rather than a participant, she hangs around the sidelines wishing she could join in but never quite working up the courage to. She’s not very good under pressure, often clamming up and backing away, declining to even try instead of giving it her best shot. However, give her a good book and she will be lost to the world, as she subconsciously blocks out all exterior stimuli.

Likes: Reading (fantasy/comedy books are her favourite), playing with hair, trying arts and crafts

Dislikes: Overly crowded spaces, slapstick comedy
