Name: Masine Conolo Ashratreve't'tora-aa (AKA: Ashra)
Age: 5, 25, 45 (See description)
Race: Lakontamashar
Mate: None
Bonded: None
Description: Ashra has lavender skin with pink and black markings around her eyes. She has purple lips and nails. Her hair is pink and medium blue, carried in a ponytail with loose, sideswept bangs. Her ears are long, pointed, and stick out to the side. Her eyes are reflection of magical energy so contain no sclera or pupils. Since she is a physical manifestation of magical energy, she never actually touches the ground unless she makes an effort to. She can either appear as a young child, a teenager, or a middle aged woman. She can also take on a purely ethereal form in which she appears to just be light. This usually takes the form of a ball of light, but she can appear in any shape of light. These shapes lack features, though.
Personality: Her overall personality is a bit mischievous and fun-loving. This is most pronounced when she is in her child form and least pronounced in her older form. In her child form, she becomes a true child. She acts like a child, thinks like a child, and has desires and needs like a child. Each form is similar in that she acts and thinks according to the age she appears to be. She tends to be a mediator, especially in her older form. It is extremely rare for her to ever cause physical harm to anything, both because it is physically difficult for her to do so and because it is not in her nature.
Strengths: Due to her ethereal nature, she is extremely difficult to harm.
Weaknesses: Due to her ethereal nature, it is equally difficult for her to harm anyone else. She would first have to be trying to take a physical form, and since harming beings is against her nature, it would take an extreme amount of concentration to take physical form to do so. She has a hard time forming lasting relationships. Anyone who is not blocking mind-to-mind communication can hear her thoughts unless she makes a very concentrated effort to block them. Since it takes so much work, she rarely blocks them. In order to touch something in the physical realm, she has to be purposely trying. She often forgets and simply passes through things (or beings) instead of touching them. She has been told that she feels a bit like a static charge passing through people.
Powers: She can travel through anything and can traverse dimensions and space. She never ages other than by changing her form. She can also speak mind-to-mind with other beings, so long as they are not blocking such communication. This form of communication transcends language barriers.
Native Language: None. Her race speaks mind-to-mind. She had to learn to speak using physical language. The Lakontamashar have the ability to speak because they have a larynx in their physical form. In their home realm, they use it to make music, but with practice, they can imitate any sound.
History: Like all of her kind, she simply appeared from the magic of her realm one day. Since all of the Lakontamashar are created from the same energy, they share a connection that reaches across time and space. They share a collective memory with each new experience of an individual simply being added to the memory. She did, however, have to learn all physical abilities (including walking, physical speech, being able to touch objects, etc.) as mental memory does not necessarily equate to physical memory.
When a Lakontamashar is created, it starts out as formless light. Their experiences (especially early ones) shape what their individual forms and personalities will be. The only part of a Lakontamashar that never changes is the eyes, which will always reflect the magical energy that they were created from. Ashar was formed during the period corresponding to very early human history, and she appeared in a small family group of people. At the time, a child, its mother, and its grandmother were the one ones there. Ashar took on three basic forms and personalities based on these three people, giving her both a gender and ages. However, she was still composed entirely of energy so was devoid of distinct features. Later experiences refined her form, giving it colour, her distinctive ears, her normal physical voice, etc.
