~*~ Application ~*~
Name: Lily the Bramble Bush
Nickname: Lily, Bramble
Sex: Plant (looks like a loli though)
Occupation: Part-time student and part-time shrubbery
Likes: Sunlight, water, soil rich in minerals and nice people
Dislikes: Rapevines, fire, artificial fertilizer, herbivores and vegetarians
Hobbies & Interests: Staying in one place and photosynthesizing (read: being a plant)
Abilities:
- Talent: She can sense movement from afar from the ground, "talk" to plants and grow flowers and berries in her hair if she feels like it.
- Physical/Magical: Not much to talk about if you don't talk about the branches that she can grow and control. Not exactly magic, the branches that grow out of her body are like extra arms and legs. They are thin and thorny but that's only because she doesn't know how not to make her branches people-friendly yet. Their strength can range from that of a little girl to being able to knock a full grown deer off its feet when she's really pissed.
- Weaknesses: She has the composition of a plant. Anything you can imagine that harms a plant is basically harmful to her. That and she's pretty easy to outsmart and mislead.
Personality:Not exactly shy but very quiet, little Lily does not really know how to go about interacting with people nor knows anything about social norms. A regular bramble bush like any other till about a week before classes started, she is currently adjusting to her new form: a little human girl. Or at least that's how she appears from the outside.
Upon closer inspection however, she has the clear characteristics of a plant. Real leaves for hair, light tan-coloured bark for skin, and branches that tend to escape from under her skirt; she takes these things for normal and considers her human condition as the anomaly. For all intents and purposes, she still thinks, acts and feels like a plant.
Despite this and the fact that she can sense how plants around her feel, she makes no move to defend them or stop others from harming or eating plants. She may feel uncomfortable when that happens and may back away from the person doing the harm in front of her but ultimately would not do anything about it. Rather, because she's still stuck in the mindset of a plant, she'd tend to remain still and rooted on the spot, hoping that the evildoer with not notice her and try to do the same to her as well.
If attacked however, she would immediately retaliate. Acting on impulse and pure fear, she'd duck and cover herself with her thorniest and most durable branches before lashing out with neither warning nor method with her remaining branches. She would never attack first, only react.
These details aside, Lily can be pretty friendly to people when she wants to be. Especially if they do her a good turn or are nice first. But other than that, she doesn't really have any other motivation to join the human race. Rather, she seeks to finish her education as fast as possible in order to go back to being the shrubbery she once was.
Background: Lily comes from a relatively normal dimension. She could have possibly come from a dimension as normal as ours. But then, she was a real bramble bush without a care in the world aside from being a bush.
One day, a crack in her dimension finally ripped open and she tumbled through. By a million to one chance, she survived the tumble through dimension space and landed in the heart of Ludus Forest. The chaotic magic wrecking havoc on her physical being while in transit however, she received an ungodly and uncontrolled growth spurt once she took root in Ludus. Thus, for a whole week, Ludus Forest was intertwined with her thorny branches. Terrorizing student, plant and animal alike before turning on the notorious indigenous rapevines.
Finally, as the week ended, the magic of the transition took its final toll and she took the form of a little girl which students eventually found in the forest. Now, she is currently under the care of Richter Alcross, one of the students who first discovered her true form while in the forest.

- In spring, there are noticable buds of flowers amongst the young leaves.
- In summer, all the leaves are a healthy deep green with some flowers depending on her mood.
- In autumn, her leaves turn into shades of red, orange and yellow. By this time, she could sprout some berries.

RP SAMPLE:The first day is always the hardest.
As soon as Lily tried to settle herself in the forest again, not that comfortable with the idea of staying somewhere without abundant soil or sunlight, she was beset with another dilemma. The deer hanging from the tree proved that.
Lily felt her hair. Or rather her leaves. They were ripped and torn and dangling precariously from her fine twigs. Damage done by blunt teeth and an appetite for plants.
Lily silently glared up at the doe as it hung dazed from a branch overhead. That should teach it to not try and eat her again. She retracted her branches inside of her, their extension a mere minute before, retaliation against the beast's ambush.
Turning, she ventured further into the forest. Trying to find a clearing she could call her home for now.
