[Shadowseldil]

Name: Mercy Vylkar
Age: 24
Race: Human
Gender: Female

Appearance: Mercy stands about 5'3'. She is not exactly pretty, but there is a modest beauty to her. Her dull brown hair hangs to about mid back, and has small waves in it. Her face is smooth and soft, except for a small scar on her right cheek. Her eyes are a simple brown, the color of fresh dirt, with the same simple warmness.

Characteristics (+): Mercy is kind above kind. She will easily go hungry if she can feed a starving man. She has no holds of material possessions, save for the clothes on her back and those only for modesty.

Characteristics (-): Mercy is a bit cowardly, as she is strictly non-combative. She can also be a bit pious at times, feeling that her beliefs make her holier than those who choose to fight.

Special Skills: She is skilled in the healing arts and can also use the thokka, special mana-dance that cause different effects. (See special notes for more details).

Possessions: Mercy possesses a whitish garment with extra fabric that flows and billows when she dances. She usually carries a stick for a walking staff, but it is not a true staff.

Motivation: To ease the suffering in the world

*Special notes: The Thokka is a special type of dance that, through mana, can create a numerous amount of effects for those around the dancer, depending on the dance and the song. There are four "schools" of Thokka: huldra, sjora, havsra, and bergsra. Each type utilizes different effects.

*Special notes: As a young girl, Mercy would frequently play at a stream where a "school" of Sjora would sometimes dance. They taught her a few simple dances, such as she could learn. The "school" was constantly on the move, so it was only on random (By Mercy's account) occasions that the Sjora would be dancing there and would teach her dances.
These are the dances she has learned and can perform (for my reference, I've recorded the types of dance as I develop them):

Dance of Puntlentes: A dance which causes fresh water to bubble forth from the ground.
Dance of Helen: A dance which speeds the healing of wounds. (A calm, swaying dance with slow turns: even-paced chant-song)
Dance of Geest: A dance which revitalizes.
Dance of Slaperigheid: A dance which removes stress, eases the mind, and relaxes the body. (A fiery flamenco style dance: Fast tempo song)
Dance of Pantser: A dance which can strengthen skin and bones. (A cross between a Ta Ge and a fan dance[sans fans]: high, lilting, slow-paced song)
Dance of Kalmte: A dance which causes one to forget hateful or violent thoughts.

She knows of a few others, but has not learned them and cannot perform them.
