…The Me You See…

Eyes: Ocean Blue
Hair: Strawberry blond, brightly contrasts itself that it looks like an nonspecific merge of blond and red. Is quite thick and reaches half way down her back, except its generally tied up or tied back with a number of tarnished silver hair ornaments.
Skin: Light brown
Height: 5'8''
Weight: 125lbs
Appearance: Siela has quite an athletic build, decent muscle definition and finely honed befitting that of a warrior, she usually carries herself with perfect posture and an unearthly grace telling of a rather disciplined lifestyle.

Her garments are usually always the same, humble and conventional with a touch of personality.
She has a fairly basic outfit to begin with, long sleeved, loose silk shirt, fingerless gloves, long thickly woven pants that tuck into flexible boots.
In terms of protection, a black, fitted, armour-grade leather vest, light plate armour for her thighs, calves and forearms.
Over the top of all of this she generally wears a red kimono-like article with a large violet sash.

For weapons, Siela has a pair of long, thin, single edged swords with a slight curve, one shorter than the other.
They both have silver filigree inlaid into the handles as a bit of a signature that they are hers, the blades themselves a mirror-bright from polishing.
They hang from a pair of belts around her waist angled downward to her left side, the longer blade under the shorter one.
She doesn't always draw the longer one, she feels using it would be a bit of a waste unless the battle would be suitably intense.

She also has quite a few spike-style shuriken hidden on her person, bit like smaller throwing knives designed to pierce rather than cut.

…The Me You Want To Know…

Personality: A very serene and tranquil individual, easy-going and seemingly casual, Siela seems to exude an aura of calm and confidence. She's a pleasant person, often attempts to aid people and is quite honest unless she finds a good reason to be otherwise.
Generally speaking she's not easy to anger, more prone to laughter and a gentle smile, and she has an insurmountable respect for wisdom.
She lives by a personal code of honour and morals, often works off logic and philosophy and is prone to a vast degree of silent contemplation.
History:
Siela was born and raised in the reaches of the Kalarian Highlands, a small, tight cluster of mountains that made for a hill-bound plateau of sorts where a quaint village lay.
She was brought up amongst the spirituality and enlightenment-seeking warriors of the village, many half-built stone constructions like ruins of an old civilization acted as something of an academy for them.
The warriors there sought perfection, understanding themselves as much as their enemy, refining their skills as much as increasing them, often seen training together literally all over the ruins.

It would be an average day to wake up and see a small group of these warriors bounding around the ruins with wooden swords, furiously clacking away against their opponent's practice weapons with remarkable grace.
And sometime earlier that day they would have all been on one of the clear hills performing some slow meditative exercises to warm up their bodies and practice said grace.
It was all quite awe-inspiring which was kind of what got Siela into it at such a young age, acting something of a squire or a student to several of the warriors, patiently listening and learning what she could.

Her studies had her doing all kinds of things, some of them seemed a little meaningless but she was always encouraged to do them anyway, from carting rocks around, weaving sheets of fabric, carving wooden instruments, climbing amongst the tree canopies etcetera.
The combat training came a lot easier to her after performing all those chores and such, like the dancing lessons helped her balance and travel, the weaving kept her fingers nimble and helped with precision, and carting rocks around and such helped her raw endurance and strength.

Eventually her training branched into magic, and she had to go to more and more people of the village to get properly training and knowledge so she could figure it out on her own. The warriors all said that it was best to let studies of magic unfold naturally so that it best suited you, though most of the people in that village had similar magic, most likely a result of the environment they all shared.
Magic: She quite a broad and abstract array of magic, though usually arranged into disciplines.
Flower - Her magic gathers into the form of flower petals, mostly they're responsible for illusion such as creating hollow copies of herself, the copies often don't move and shatter into thousands of petals when struck. Though the petals are still technically 'real' in that they can be physically touched, so she can make them razor sharp and send them at someone or a multitude of other uses.
Eye - She can focus magic into her eye and form a lens on them letting her visually perceive things differently, her current expertise is eagle, changing her eye colour to yellow and letting her see an impressive distance, and snake, turning her eye colour red and to the shape of a snake's slit pupils and giving her infrared. It's usually pretty difficult to sustain that state unless she's doing something that requires little concentration, like walking.
Wind - Mostly responsible for any gravity-defying feats she may perform, she can really only do blankets of wind that can carry things or push things around.
Spider - Magic energy usually coating her fingers and boots, but she can move it around to any part of her body or her clothing to free up her limbs if the situation demands it. Basically put it lets her stick to walls and stuff, pending on the amount of magic she puts into which area is how well she'll stick there, which could lead to her dangling by one hand from the roof, though that would require a lot.
Also with a fair degree of effort she can walk on the surface of water, but its a bit wasteful since it actively pours magic into the water as much as uses it on her body, it works by increasing the surface tension of the liquid and spreading her weight through the magic across the surface.
Other Facts: A little ambidextrous, she's a great weaver/seamstress and a respectable musician.
