missceciliaOOC PREFERENCES: Permissions for OOC game activity.
CONTACT METHODS: I'm on Twitter basically always, so that's best. Email or DMs also work if you need more than 140 characters.
THREADJACKING: As long as it makes sense in-game, go ahead!
SLOWTAGGING/BACKTAGGING: I can get hellishly slow at times, so I'm more than okay with other people doing the same.
NSFW: Perfectly comfortable with 'em, but I'd prefer a fade to black all the same, since I'm kind of terrible at writing NSFW things.
AVOIDED SUBJECTS: I'd rather my characters didn't wind up on the receiving end of extreme (and I do mean extreme) homophobia, but that's pretty much it. Also, this doesn't need to be avoided altogether, but for the sake of my mental health, if a plot will involve any detailed descriptions of depression, I'd like advance warning so I can decide whether or not I'm okay to handle it.
PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: She/her
IC CHARACTERISTICS: Information for players.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 5'10" in her stocking feet and frequently found in heels, Cecilia stands out in a crowd by virtue of her height. Her wardrobe is largely monochromatic, with the occasional dark jewel tone or soft pastel scattered among the black, white, and forty-nine shades of grey. In professional situations, she dresses to look mostly reassuringly competent and a little bit like she could kill a man, while in her personal life, she favors styles that say she's relaxed and approachable, while remarking in a quiet aside that she shops exclusively at upscale boutiques that don't believe in price tags.
Her voice is soft and even, with no trace of any sort of accent, though her speech patterns tend to mimic those of moneyed New Englanders. With her dark, fashionably messy bob and the easy grace of all the Coombs women, the air Cecilia exudes is one of understated elegance.
DEMEANOR: To the general public, she is rarely anything but cheerful, friendly, and outgoing, the very picture of a vibrant society princess; she constantly makes minute shifts to her persona to reflect whatever she thinks will make someone like her. Among her friends, though, she wears her emotions on her sleeve, good or bad, and it's a rather different story. When exhausted, stressed, or particularly upset, she'll often start speaking multiple different languages without really realizing it, and she's got a tendency to smoke when she's stressed.
PHYSICAL CONTACT: Cecilia's a fairly tactile person in general - a touch on the arm, a handshake, a brief embrace - and the amount of physical contact she's comfortable with, as well as the frequency with which she'll touch someone, is a direct reflection of how much she likes them.
FLIRTING: Nine times out of ten, she'll flirt back. (The tenth time, you're a creep or she already dislikes you and she'll politely brush you off or pretend not to understand what you're doing.)
RELATIONSHIPS: Cecilia has been in three romantic relationships, all with men, and the most recent one ended very badly. She's a little wary, but open to the possibility of a relationship, should she develop feelings for someone, and when you get right down to it, she's a romantic who really just wants to be loved. Most of her romantic history consists of one- or two-night stands with very attractive, very discreet people of any gender, but she's not doing that so much anymore.
HOME INFORMATION: Here. She has a burglar alarm, but it's primarily protected by some terrifyingly good wards, courtesy of an ex-boyfriend - it's possible to get through them if you really want to (and have the right magical assistance), but without some fairly powerful counterspells, she will definitely know that you were there.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Any form of homophobia or biphobia, talking shit about the fashion industry.
POWERS: Cecilia's powers mostly rely on the spoken word, and details on how they work can be found here. She's also a moderately powerful air witch: aside from controlling the wind, she can also scry and cast glamours. However, using the air to scry only gives her voices and the occasional image carried on the breeze, which is generally less than helpful. Her minor glamours, intended only to make something more or less appealing, can last indefinitely when cast on inanimate objects and a few hours when cast on living beings; glamours that actually alter something's appearance last only as long as her concentration does. While she prefers to keep the specifics and extent of her abilities to herself, she's a Coombs, and the nature of most of her powers means that anyone paying attention will notice when she uses them, so the fact that she has powers is hardly a secret.
WITCH FORM: Cecilia can only take one animal form: Martes americana, the American Marten. This is significantly more of a secret than the rest of her powers, and only members of the Coombs family know about it. After a few false starts in her youth, she can now shift between forms at will, but injury or extreme shock encountered while shifted will force her back into her human body.
IC PERMISSIONS: Permissions for IC game activity.
RELATIONSHIP CONTROL: Fabrice has blanket permission to make up memories/backstory/events/etc., as does anyone else in the Coombs family, bearing in mind that Cecilia was almost never in Siren Cove between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. If it's been determined via OOC conversation that another character has a pre-existing relationship with Cecilia, that character can also make up history for them, provided it wouldn't significantly alter their interactions.
MENTAL: She carries charms to protect against mental attacks such as mind control and dream manipulation, but anything else is fair game.
FIGHTING/VIOLENCE: You're welcome to try and provoke a physical fight, but the odds of you succeeding are pretty poor, and then she'll go about comprehensively destroying your life. UP TO YOU.
LURING: As with mental abilities, her jewelry is charmed to deflect most of this. She's also spent a ridiculous amount of time around sirens, and is fairly likely to notice any intentional attempts at luring.
MAGIC: Characters can feel free to attack Cecilia with magic, but she's a fairly powerful witch in her own right and will absolutely fight back.
OTHER / NOTES: None. She's available for pretty much anything, please love her.
