Name: Shayari *Sandstorm* Calima Age: 21 Height: 183cm Weight: 70kg Race: Humanoid Sand Demon Eyes: Gray Personality: Chaotic, can snap from Calm to wild rage in an instant. Whenever sand is blowing she seems to be speaking to a older person (with a certain degree of respect) Gender: Female

Bio: Shayari had master Glassblowers for parents, they spent most their time making intricate forms out of the high quality sand from the desert inwhich they lived in for most her life. She had a wild temperament, which from her father earned her the nickname *Sandstorm* due to her going from a sweet breeze of a mood into a unstopable wall of fury seemingly at will with little to no regard for what others thought of her. Studying how the sand was made into glass in the furnaces, forming the then molten sand into the forms that her parent taught her came to her with ease, seemingly with no effort on her part. Her parent would test her skills often and made her make the most intricate forms known to man, Shayari at the age of 8 could make a perfect model of herself in glass. However once while making one of the said intricate works while her parents was away from the house to get sand she managed to trip on one of the many blowpipes that had rolled out of place, landing head first into the open furnace in which she had just poured sand into and had started to heat. Normally something like this would've burnt a normal human, however upon coming in contact with the sand she found herself feeling a sharp burning pain, but also a certain comfort to the texture of the soon to be molten sand. At will she jumped out, somehow unscathed with sand seeming to sink into her skin and covering what wouldve been burns and cuts.

after finding that she had nothing more to learn from her parents, and wanting to explore this newfound power, she went to wander around the desert to try them out. After a while she came across a creature that seemed to be half sand, half flesh then all sand in an instant. This creature seemed to sense her ability to shift sand as itself could and greeted her, after Shayari overcame the shock of seeing this creature she greeted back with a whiplash of her hair, the creature seeming amused by the notion of her going from being in shock to taking a swing at it greeted her once again. This time turning into sand, enveloping her in a small sandstorm laughing mildly while saying in a mild tone: *Child of the Desert Dunes, i bid thee welcome* as she started to sink into the sand

For 5 years nothing was heard or seen off her, until one day a raging sandstorm came upon her house, with it suddenly disapearing as she came out to greet her parents in a sandy form

Combat Method: Shayari has a tendency to stay incorporable as sand until a chance arises to fool or injure her opponent, being sand means no amount of slashes, gunshots or weapons can injure her while in this form. It takes her a split second to change from one form to another, altough when she wishes to make copies she must be solid for a second, in which the copies will be apart of her, meaning if her original body gets hit or killed she will jump to another body that she had made, so as long as her clones are up she wont die, only feel mild pain from the snap when she jumps. When she's cloned she cant go into her sandform withouth bringing them together. For weapons she uses sandmade weapons which can be hardened glass or heated sand which would burn the skin of another human to a crisp if it touched it. If she gets sufficiently angry she will turn into a sandstorm which will tire her greatly unless its in a desert (due to the amount of sand she can use from the desert rather than herself), the sandstorm can make almost anything get grinded to bits due to the sand traveling at highspeed (230km/h+). However if she uses this form its a final move, meaning she will be completely exhausted from it no matter where she is, only the time varying depending on the amount of sand used from herself (10-30s) She relies on speed rather than brute strenght, however she will wait pateniently for a chance to strike rather than go fast to make a opening, sometimes making sandy shades of herself(not copies, rather illusions) to throw her opponent offguard Basicly fighting like an assasin capable of apearing, making a weapon, attacking then disapearing in less than 0.5s, though multiple uses of in and out(sand into solid) will tire her. If she goes wild shes very dangerous as she will have no care for anything or anyones state, in this wild state she can seem to blink around while attacking at a staggering pace, she does however try to remain calm enough to not go wild while fighting due to this state being a do or die, in which she will tire herself to the brink of death.

Armor: Sandy Glasschainmail (resistant to slashes and light stabs as well as fire)

Typically used weaponforms: Sandwhip (160cm long) with burn Sand/Glasssword (60 and 70cm long) Sandshield (for blocking magic or projectiles rather than melee due to it not being solid) Sandneedle/Darts (6-7cm lenght) Thrown weapon

She may seem to have alot of power, however she can only use her full power in a desert or an area with a high amount of sand. she could use her power with no sand around, but this would drain her greatly and shed need to either get more sand or retrieve the sand she uses to fully return to solid form.

Will help with scaling her up or down depending on the terrain or story setting as im not good at doing it with the base story and character :-)
