Name: Farah Dowling

Age: 41

Gender: Female

Role: Headmistress of Alfea

Species: Fairy

Fairy Type: Mind
Appearance: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpisco.meaww.com%2F88646586-12d2-42f4-adc1-db6addd5e7e8.jpg&f=1&nofb=1
 When Farah's powers are in use, her eye color shifts to a blue-grey. Farah often wears a long coat over any outfit she wears, often simple pants and a blouse. She has a tattoo on her index finger of a line circling above her knuckle and three dots closer to her fingertips.
Personality: Farah is typically a very closed-off and hardened woman due to the many secrets she hides about her past and the past of Alfea in order to keep her students safe. However, she shows her softer side around her friends and fellow professors, Saúl Silva and Ben Harvey.
Abilities: Farah has Basic Fairy Abilities, such as the ability to channel her emotions (and the Stone Circle) as a source for her magic and the ability to create barriers (a barrier situated around Alfea to serve as protection from… outside threats) and veils, specifically cryo-inducement veils (used in her office at Alfea, she has a veil to protect the staircase behind her bookcase, but in order to enter this veil without permission, you must trigger the trap) and prison veils (designed to restrain a person and is strong enough to contain a very powerful fairy). Her mind fairy abilities include telekinesis (the ability to move things with her mind) and memory scanning )visualizing a person's previous encounters through their memories). Additionally, through training, Farah has also learned the water fairy ability of hydrokinesis (the ability to control water with her mind), the fire fairy ability of incineration, and air fairy abilities including enhanced hearing and electrokinesis (the ability to manipulate electricity in the air with her mind). Farah is also able to combine her magic with other fairies to make a collective, much stronger magic.
Strengths: Farah is extremely strong in her abilities, and her friendship with Saúl Silva and Ben Harvey is very tight. She also is extremely hard-working, is mentally tough/has strong mental defenses, and is a decisive and smart decision maker. She is able to keep a level head and level emotions in tense, demanding situations.
Weaknesses: Farah has severe trust issues with people she doesn't know or doesn't know well. She keeps many of secrets and is secretly afraid of the wrong people finding them out. Her composure can be very stoic, almost unemotional at times.
Quotes:

• “This world isn’t safe.”
• “Runaway fear leads to runaway magic.”
• “Distraction can cause magic to be erratic.”

• “Magic can be dangerous, as you well know.”
• “You focus, you learn, you grow. Eventually, the answers will come.”
• “They’ve had order for so long, they don’t know what chaos feels like.”
• “Alfea’s graduates have ruled realms and led armies. They’ve forged powerful relics and rediscovered long-lost magic. They shaped the Otherworld. If you succeed here, you will too.”
• “When I became headmistress, I made a decision - to become a figurehead. To project strength. It’s what students your age need. Admitting mistakes invites uncertainty. But not admitting them means people you care about have to ask if you hug.”

(Okay, sounds good! Just let me know what kind of fairy your character will be - Fire, Air, Earth, Water, Light, or Mind - and I can let you know some simple powers to start out with! :))

(Sounds good! You'll definitely start out with photokinesis)

Photokinesis: The ability to generate and manipulate light. This applies this in many ways through creating light to hover over, generate light and a variety of colors in the palms of hands.

(And then here are some other light fairy abilities! You could probably chose one or two in addition to photokinesis depending on what year your character is)

Light Dispersion/Color Generation: The ability to change the light to any color.
Invisibility: To make oneself visually undetectable by other people.
Astral Projection: The ability to project your image without being physically there.
Illusion Manipulation: The power to control the light that one's eyes perceive, making one see things that aren't there.

(Hope that helped! :))

(And here we go!

Name: Asra (named by my friend because I'm not creative-)
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Year: 2
Species: (Fairy or Human) Fairy
Fairy Type/Specialist: Light
Appearance: Asra has lightly tanned skin, and she stands at 5'5", being a fairly average height. She prefers to keep her incredibly light, almost platinum, blonde hair short and messy. She found it way too annoying to deal with when it was long. She has soft, hazel eyes, the color changing appearance in different lightings. She has softer facial features as well, giving her a young appearance.
Personality: Asra is a rather energetic person, being full of optimism as well. She was always considered a ray of sunshine, which is fitting given her powers. She is a fun-loving person who likes to socialize as well. She's a confident and outgoing person in the end. She also enjoys helping her friends.
Abilities: Photokinesis (not sure what other ability fits well for a second year)
Strengths: In terms of her powers and using them, she is strong during the day, light itself giving her strength. She is also a determined and optimistic person, making her good at keeping everyone spirits up and getting them through tough events.
Weaknesses: Her powers are less efficient in darkness, making her much weaker during the night. She is also rather stubborn, making her determination both a strength and a weakness. She wants to get things done, no matter what it takes.

Kinda rushed to put her together, but she's here!)

It was Farah Dowling’s 16th first day as the Headmistress of Alfea College, and yet she somehow still felt as if on some obscure level, it was the equivalent the first day of her very first year. It’s not that she was nervous, goodness no. She was a figurehead at Alfea, the fairy Headmistress, and that meant projecting strength every second of every day whether she was nervous or not. She wasn’t unprepared either. Each year before the start of the first semester, she completed piles upon piles of paperwork and lesson plans to prepare for dozens of classes the semester.

So then what was it that made her feel so unsure about the upcoming year?

Lost in her thoughts, she didn’t notice Saúl Silva, the Specialist Headmaster, enter her office. He stood just inside the doorway, watching her study feverishly over file after file and move them from once side of her desk to the other before he smirked and knocked on the door frame. “Farah?”

Farah’s head looked up quickly in shock, and her natural eyes narrowed and flickered silver-blue for a second, but they changed back to brown quickly when she saw it was only Saúl who startled her. She relaxed and shook her head. “Saúl… No need to scare me like that.”

Saúl chuckled to himself. “I’ve been here for over a minute.”

“Oh.” Farah scolded herself internally for not noticing him sooner. Some mind fairy she was. “Can I help you?”

“Just wanted to see what you’re up to,” he remarked and entered deeper into her office while shutting the door behind him.

“Nothing much. Usual first day business, that’s all,” Farah replied, setting the sheet of paper in her hands down. “Where is Ben?”

“I saw him heading towards the greenhouse,” Saúl answered, coming around behind her desk to stand next to her seat. “Farah, what’s going on? You’re already busier than usual, and it’s only the first day."

“Don’t tease me, Saúl,” Farah retorted.

Saúl's eyebrows arched. "Well?"

“Wouldn’t you like to know?”

“Yes, I would! It’s why I asked.”

Farah laughed, but she still didn’t answer his question. As much as she wanted to tell him everything running through her mind, she didn’t. The weight of it was draped around her shoulders and hers alone. She was determined to keep it that way.

"Why are you here anyway? Aren't there some first year Specialists who need to meet their headmaster?" she suggests, arching an eyebrow.

"And aren't there some first year fairies who need to meet their headmistress?" he countered.

Farah sighed. She knew she would get absolutely nowhere if they continued this back-and-forth banter, so she pushed herself out of her seat and headed toward the door. "You, Saúl Silva, are officially the most difficult man I've ever met,” she declared at her fingers plucked her coat from the hanger by the door.

Saúl grinned and followed her. "A title I hold with pride."

Farah rolled her eyes and slipped her arms through the sleeves of her coat quickly before opening the door. She strode confidently through the hallowed halls of Alfea College, and her head was held high with an air of importance surrounding her.

As a second-year in Alfea College, Mila was fairly certain of where she needed to go. The grounds didn't look like they had changed much since the last day of her first year, and likely hadn't. It was admittedly a little surreal as she wove her way through the semi-frantic new students and the faculty trying to reign in some of the chaos, remembering that had been her. A small smile twitched at her lips as she also remembered what had happened to her hair, and the hair of everyone in a two-foot radius around her, because her emotions got the better of her magic.

(This is a rp I'd like to start soon, so again, friendly reminder for a template from @Dragongirl2468 and a template from @Gonta_Gokuhara! :))

(I meant to get mine up sooner. I will get it done as soon as I can. I'm a little confused about powers though)

(Nah, you're good! Just let me know what type of fairy your character will be - Air, Earth, Fire, Light, Water - and I'll do the same thing I did for @Gonta_Gokuhara :))

(Going with fire)

As a second-year in Alfea College, Mila was fairly certain of where she needed to go. The grounds didn't look like they had changed much since the last day of her first year, and likely hadn't. It was admittedly a little surreal as she wove her way through the semi-frantic new students and the faculty trying to reign in some of the chaos, remembering that had been her. A small smile twitched at her lips as she also remembered what had happened to her hair, and the hair of everyone in a two-foot radius around her, because her emotions got the better of her magic.

As Farah strode across the campus, the faces of many second, third, and fourth year students stood out to her as she recognized them from classes she taught over the years. One second-year's face, she particularly recognized from the amount of trouble she'd unintentionally caused last year. Farah had spent days if not weeks dealing with the aftermath of the situation, and she knew she had gained a few extra grey hairs because of this girl. Still, she was a nice girl who Farah liked, and she smiled in greeting and approached the girl. "Hello, Mila. How are you?"

Mila immediately straightened up when she saw the Headmistress heading in her direction. It was hard to forget the numerous sessions she had spent with the older woman, learning how to better control her emotions so that… incident didn't happen again. “Hello, Headmistress Farah.” she smiled politely back. “I’m well, thank you, and glad to be back. How are you?”

( @Dragongirl2468 So as a fire fairy, your basic ability will be pyrokinesis)

Pyrokinesis: The ability to generate and manipulate fire.

(And then here are some other fire fairy abilities! You could probably chose one or two in addition to pyrokinesis depending on what year your character is. As a second year, I would recommend Fire/Heat Resistance. As a third year, I would add either Thermokinesis or Healing onto that.)

Fire/Heat Resistance: The ability be resistant to fire or hot temperature
Healing: The ability to heal a cut with moxibustion.
Thermokinesis: The ability to generate and manipulate heat.

(Hope that helped! :))
