Calming Presence | Fearless

Calming Presence Application:

Reducio

Phyllis, even though she didn't realize it, had a presence about her that set people at ease. Despite her reputation, which wasn't the best and would normally lead someone to be unsettled when first meeting her, she just had this easy-going nature that lent others a sense of calm. Yes, her family had associations with Dark Magic, and, yes, she was known as a troublemaker, but be it her smile, relaxed posture, or something else, perhaps intangible, she had a calming presence.

The presence first became apparent when she was four. Her family, being wealthy Pure-bloods, had a number of house elves working for them. On that day another family high in status was visiting and one of the house elves spilled tea on one of the guest's dress. Naturally, he was kicked from the room and told to go punish himself. Phyllis, feeling badly for the creature, followed. She couldn't stop him from banging his head repeatedly against the wall, but she was successful in calming the poor elf down.

Such instances came up throughout her childhood in similar manners. When she moved with her mother to Canada, Phyllis became the peacemaker in the ring of friends she found in a magical urban area. The kids she hung around were far from well-mannered and had a tendency to get into fights even amongst themselves. Phyllis was the one to break those fights up and help everyone calm down.

And in situations where Phyllis and a friend were setting up a prank, she made it easy to relax. Sure, they were in the middle of doing something that could get them into trouble, which could be a bit stressful, or one might be overly excited, but with Phyllis around they were able to execute their prank without blowing their cover.

The same carried over to Quidditch. As a first year, Phyllis hadn't made the team but even just when playing for fun her teammates found it easier to play. Even when they were down, the girl was unflappable, never getting frustrated or giving up. In her mind, so long as you kept trying there was always a chance of coming back, of winning. They just had to focus and around her doing just that was much easier.

Even without each and every situation that made it clear her presence had an effect on people, her personality alone lent itself to helping others relax. Phyllis could be intense when she wanted to, but most of the time the redhead was laid-back, carefree. Grades weren't a concern; in fact, not achieving top marks aided her goal of irritating her mother. Plus, the way she saw it, things just happened. You couldn't always do anything about it, so why not just go where things took you?

To those she cared about, Phyllis was solid, unchangeably loyal. In every other aspect of her life she was unpredictable, but when it came down to her friends counting on her she wouldn't let them down for anything. It was another aspect of her that helped her friends, her allies, not worry and instead focus there energy on succeeding.

It was true that Phyllis wasn't the smartest, hence the reason she hadn't identified the aura of calm she possessed. But she didn't have to know about it for it to be there. Without a doubt, Phyllis had a calming presence.

Fearless Application:

Reducio

No one was truly fearless. It simply wasn't possible for a human to not be afraid of something, be it spiders, the dark, losing a loved one, or one of the other numerous things there were to be scared of. All that considered, Phyllis was as close as you could get to fearless.

Growing up the way she did, Phyllis had to be fearless. It was that or be scared out of her wits of what her mother might do with all her Dark Magic next. Not letting anything get to her was probably not all that smart, but Phyllis wasn't exactly known for sharp intellect. Her sometimes reckless bravery led to many a not-so-great circumstance. For instance, climbing a tree too high without checking if the branches could hold her weight. That had been a painful day, what with tumbling to the ground when the branch under her snapped and breaking her arm. It was a good thing indeed that she'd grown up with magic to fix such accidents. Or, another time when she'd jumped into an icy lake to save one of her friends even though she had no clue how to swim. She'd been awfully lucky to survive that.

Still, not being scared of just about anything had its benefits. She didn't dread big occasions, didn't have to deal with stage fright, and wasn't afraid of just walking over to someone and striking up a conversation. In relation to that calming presence she possessed, the fact she wasn't scared made it that much easier for the people around her to relax.

When the Ilvermorny students had been invited to Hogwarts and fights had broken out at the Masked Ball, she'd charged straight into them. It was far from the smart thing to do, especially since she had next to no spells under her belt and all, but that didn't mean it hadn't been proof of her lack of fear. Maybe it was just the sort of bull-headed bravery you'd expect out of Gryffindors. Maybe it would get her killed someday. It wasn't as though she were scared of the potential repercussions, so what did it matter?

There were, of course, the things she was scared of. Being in the dark alone, for instance. Her childhood had taught her full well the horrors that hid in the shadows. Water, too--when she'd tried to save her friend, she'd learned just how terrifying it felt to drown. Neither of those fears would stop her from anything, though. Phyllis would still plunge into the shadows, still jump into water if it meant saving a friend or if it needed to be done. Perhaps that was the most important thing about her, more important than being mostly fearless in the first place: when she did get scared, she faced her fears anyways. Between the fearlessness and the bravery, Phyllis would not be stopped by fright.

Sixth Sense:

Reducio

Everyone always says that I can find things easily. When someone drops a ring or an earing falls out, I am always the one who finds it under the chair or in the rug. Not only that, but I also tend to notice things. I was an expert at hide and seek. I just had a sort of ability to know where people were hiding, I probably just heard their breathing or noticed the door slightly ajar. It never seemed so odd to me, but other people always commented on it.

There was this one time when I was with my siblings. I heard a little squeak in the kitchen and the sound of chewing. My mom was making cookies and was measuring out the sugar. I told her to wait and opened up the bag. Inside was a tiny mouse. Of course, then my mom screamed and then all of my siblings screamed and I just trapped it in a bowl and put it outside. I didn't think it was so weird. But the thing was, I was all the way across the house when I thought something was off.

The weirdest part is how often weird things like this happen. I never really notice it, but other people always comment on how I notice things other people don’t. It happens like at least twice a week. I also sort of have photographic memory so I blame it on that, but deep down, I think there is more to it.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I’m that special just because I notice things. But it sometimes seems so uncanny. Other people always think it is super cool, but it usually just annoys me. I mean, who truly wants to see the sunglasses at the bottom of the murky lake? Maybe a few people, but they I always get picked to be the one to swim down and get it. Then every time someone misplaces a special pencil or can’t find their wallet, guess who has the be the one to drop everything they are doing and go get it. That’s right, me.

I suppose I should be glad I have the special skill. I mean, not many people never loose anything. But, again, it gets tiresome. I don’t know, maybe its just a weird magic thing I have, maybe there are more people like me. But, honestly, I don’t think its that special, I’ve had since I was born, after all.

Martial Artist:

Reducio

So, I have been doing some sorts of martial arts my whole life. I guess my love of it started when I was a kid. All of my younger siblings were always tumbling and play fighting, but it wasn’t too safe for me to fight with them since I was so much bigger, so my parents were always finding some sort of karate or taekwondo class to put me in. I never really mastered any kind of stuff because I was known for getting bored of it once I reached a certain level.

My first class was in second grade, I became bored of it after the teacher would always complain that I didn’t put enough effort into it. But who could blame me? It’s not like moving in slow motion for half an hour was going to do anything? By third grade I began to understand the point of it and had a renewed love of the art. I put a lot more work into it after 4th grade, it helped me feel more confidant around older kids that I could sometimes see fighting. I don’t do much of it at Ilvermorny and never had a chance to at Hogwarts, but I promised my parents I would find a class each summer I was back home.

I think I was pretty good. I never was top in any class, but I was certainly in the upper percentile. I suppose it was my fast dodging and surprising strength that helped. Nonetheless, I enjoyed just getting all of my emotions out. Some of what I learned came in handy in the forest though. It kept me active and confidant that I could protect myself against any predator.

Some people think that people only learn martial arts to beat other people up. That is certainly not the case for me though. I don’t really do any of that kind of stuff, beating other people up, I mean. I would much rather make friends than kick people in the face; I’m much better at making friends anyhow. I mean, I do what I can to avoid bullies, but I would always stand up for a friend-- even if that means I would have to take out some of my skills. I don’t ever seek to hurt people, but I would do whatever it takes to protect the people that I am friends with. I guess it’s just a part of who I am.

Evanore Fairclay

Stats Stamina: 9 Evasion: 6 Strength: 1 Wisdom: 10 ArcPower: 6 Accuracy: 8

Year 1 Ability: Charmer Reducio If there was one thing that Evanore had developed through her life, other than trying desperately to see the world in an optimistic way, it would be her charisma. Oh yes, through many years of constantly getting herself out of unwanted situations through talking her way out, she had developed quite the skill for conversing with others. The first moment when she had realised that the power of charm can be quite the tool to have in ones toolbox, was when she was quite young. It was a school day, and her entire class had an assignment due that specific day. Though, Evanore had not finished her essay, in fact, she hadn’t even had the motivation to start writing it. Her teacher asked for the students work. Evanore stepped up to his desk and somehow, through the power of charm, managed to talk her way out of having to do the assignment at all. No punishment or consequences whatsoever, there was simply something so charming about this girl. After that she figured out that getting what you want, or getting out of something you don’t want, is and easy task if you just know how to distract and charm people. It could even seem like mind control at times, but of course there was nothing magical to it, simply a skill that she had gained. She used her conversational skills more and more, and she found them more and more useful. At some point, it became not only her speech that would charm even the grumpiest old man, but simply her presence could be distracting. Her ability to adapt her posture and mannerisms to better achieve what she wanted from different people became quite trained. She learned how to speak to certain people to make them like her and be more willing to give her what she was after. Though, her skills were not only used to gain things or favours, sometimes they were used as distractions. Managing to use her charm in a very inconspicuous manner and being careful not to ever raise suspicion that it was an act. It wasn’t really ever an act, she was always genuinely charming and charismatic. She’d help her friends get away from being grounded by their parents, and help keep people distracted while others snuck out after curfew. As she got older, this skill continued to grow as well. Some good charisma and a charming smile is something one can benefit from though one's entire life. And Evanore was sure to discover just how useful this could be in the future. WC || 429 Year 2 Ability: Fearless Reducio Many believe no one can truly be immune to feel any fear in their life, but some people can get truly close. Even if everyone’s afraid of something, some people just learn to deal with it better than others. Some realize that fear is just a feeling, and it doesn’t have to affect how you act and what you do. It’s a warning mechanism of something sure, and that something can sometimes be dangerous, but if you give into the feeling of fear, dealing with that danger can become difficult. Evanore Fairclay was just a normal human being. She has fears and worries, but herself has never been affected by them to the extent as many others. Through her life she has discovered that she won’t let fear rule her life. She's not afraid of some excitement and danger, if anything, she sometimes even seeks it out, goes toward whatever is scary. What feeling is better than overcoming something that makes chills run down your spine with fear? Though with Evanore, at some point after spending a lot of time working against the instinct of running away from some terrifying thing, the instincts themselves began to weaken. Perhaps it was simply that common sense had left her being, though it didn't’ cause her much trouble. It wasn’t often one faced actually dangerous situations anyway. It would be almost impossible to definitely point out when or why her lack of fear was caused. She was always naturally resentful to the whole concept of fear, but one couldn't say she was born fearless. Her ability to keep fears instinct at bay was learned and kept on getting easier and easier as the years passed. Though, of course fear can appear in even the simplest of situations. Some of your classmates might have been too scared to stand up to someone bullying another classmate. Evanore on the other side, had no fears in that case either. Talking to people, using her voice, standing up to someone, whatever it was, she had no fears keeping her away from doing whatever she felt was right. Unlike what some might think, Evanores logic never disappeared, even if her sense of fear pretty much did. Up till now, her lack of fear instinct has not caused her to make any idiotic or all around stupid decisions, but she wouldn’t be afraid to do so, if the situation asked for it. Let’s just say she’s found a nice middle ground of where fear can not restrict her in any way, though, she is still smart enough to know where it should, and take that into consideration. WC || 436
