The first thing you would notice about Mavarah beneath the deep black cloak would be her magnificent wings. Soft grey and elegant, they are usually tucked behind her slender back. The girl herself is long and slender all over, typical, perhaps, for a Diathim. From a slender, high-cheek-boned face, two enchanting eyes with irises the colour of the void gaze out. At 5’8”, she’s short for a Diathim, even though she may be elegantly tall among humans. She moves gracefully, keeping her cascade of brown hair in a braid most of the time, but stand between her and her sister, and you’ll find out just how fast and precise Diathim can be.
[SIZE=22pt]+ Force Healer[/SIZE] Heavily steeped in the light side for most of her life, Mavarah learned to master the art of force-healing from a relatively young age. She is adept at knitting flesh and mending bone, even to the point where she can heal others despite the dark side corruption that courses through her
[SIZE=22pt]+ Flight[/SIZE] Whilst large and difficult to hide they may be, Mavarah’s wings give her one significant advantage: the power of flight. With the grace and manoeuvrability of an eagle, Mavarah is just at home in the air as she is on the ground
+ [SIZE=29.3333px]Space-worthy[/SIZE] The cold vacuum of space is perhaps the harshest and most unforgiving environment the universe has to offer. However, the biological makeup of the Diathim mean that these majestic angels are able to fly through void of space unassisted for a period of time, Mavarah included
[SIZE=22pt]+ Empath[/SIZE] Perhaps the type of power one would expect to see from creatures known as angels, Mavarah is a gifted empath. While this can have its downsides, it means that very few intentions or lies are hidden from the Diathim, except, perhaps, by the most powerful of force adepts
[SIZE=22pt]- Unique [/SIZE]How many people have you come across with a magnificent pair of wings behind them? Likely very few, highly possible, in fact, that Mavarah or her sister might even be the only ones. This particular trait is difficult to hide and unforgettable, making the Diathim easy to make out in a crowd and difficult to go unnoticed
[SIZE=22pt]- For Her[/SIZE] Mavarah’s biggest weakness is her sister. While normally relatively level-headed and wise, the Diathim’s reservations and sense will be foregone the moment her sister is threatened.
[SIZE=22pt]- Empath[/SIZE] Just as it can be a boon, Mavarah’s natural empathy can be a crippling curse for the being. If she is near great suffering or anger, it affects her deeply, to the point where she can be physically incapacitated by the sensations. Force adepts with some knowledge of this ability would have little trouble using it to subdue the Diathim
[SIZE=22pt]- Naïve[/SIZE] Mavarah didn’t have many outside influences growing up, her only company being her twin sister for much of her life. As a result, the girl is somewhat inexperienced and relatively easily manipulated by others
[SIZE=22pt]- Not that Hypnotic [/SIZE]One of the traits for which the Diathim are known is their hypnotic powers and abilities. While Mavarah's visage as an angel might give others pause for a moment, she, for some reason or another, never developed the mind-altering powers for which her people are known
Entry 1
Dear Diary,
[member="Aspri"] and me are teaching other to learn how to write. While we don’t look the same, we are twins. No mother or father anymore, just us. I decided to practice writing by making a diary. I guess I should introduce myself, in case anyone ever reads this. My name is Mavarah, I live on Iego with my twin sister, Aspri (I know I already said that). I don’t like learning to write.
Entry 3
I’m learning how to heal. Aspri tripped and cut herself and I did… something. I didn’t even know what it was at first, but I put my hands on her cut and it disappeared! We were both shocked, so I decided to try and practice it more. I’m getting really good!
Entry 6
Dear Diary,
We figured out how old we are today. Well… Aspri did. We’re 12. I guess that means we’re not kids anymore. Also, I finally think I’ve learned to fly.
Entry 14
Dear Diary,
It’s been a while since I’ve written. That’s because he showed up. He reeks of the dark side. I’m wary of him. Aspri, on the other hand, is completely smitten. He makes all these promises, offering to give us power. She seems to be taken by them. I… I don’t know. I just want to make sure she’s okay.
Entry 17
I hate him!
Poor Aspri. She gets the worst of it. That bastard is powerful, and he knows it. I think he knows I don’t like him, that I’m not sold into his promises like my sister is. But still she protects me, making sure he doesn’t come after me like I’m sure he wants to. I do what I can to patch her up, but I’m scared. How much more of this can we take? Aspri is… beginning to change. There’s no more light in her eyes… there’s… something else now.
Entry 19
Dear Diary,
Wow… where do I begin? He finally did it. He came after me, broke one of my wings. I never knew something could hurt so much. He was angry, shrieking about how ungrateful I was. I was terrified. But Aspri… Aspri lost it. I have never seen her so angry. She flew into a rage when he broke my wing and killed him! For almost an hour after she did it we both just sat there, I don’t think either of us could believe that she did it.
Anyway, I tried to heal my wing but it’s pretty badly broken. Flying hurts a lot but at least I can do it now. Aspri said that if we left Iego she could find a source of power strong enough that neither of us would have to worry ever again. I… I don’t know, that seems like a dangerous thing to pursue. I haven’t given her an answer yet.
Entry 20
Dear Diary,
Aspri and I are leaving Iego.
