Aria Silvanite

Physical Appearance

• Very long dark green hair, worn up in really weird pigtails with numerous hair clips, plus a short ponytail near the top of her head
• Green eyes
• Tan skin
• Tall in height
• Relatively fit with a somewhat lanky but toned build, although she can change her build entirely depending on the shape she's currently taking
• Usually has small-ish or medium sized breasts, but they depend on the shape she's currently taking, although she never makes them particularly large (unless she's purposely making a joke about it)
• Green tattoo under left eye
• Can shift parts of her body or all of it into plant material, and she can manipulate her shape however she likes

Clothing Style

In general, Aria's not terribly fond of clothing in general and somewhat wishes she didn't have to wear any to fit into society, since she is technically a plant person. In casual situations she seems to mostly wear sundresses or other styles of dresses at a similar length, she preferring earthy or fruity colors. She also doesn't really like wearing shoes and will opt to go barefoot when it's practical for the situation, and she'll usually wear flats or sandals otherwise. She does, however, love wearing hair accessories and likes to experiment with lots of odd hairstyles. Her favorite hairclips are all prismatic.

Personality

Aria is a cheery and energetic dryad who values life and the restoration of nature in a war-torn world. She seems rather quirky for her high position as a member of the Channeler Counsel, and she comes off as a little too chipper and eccentric at times. She has a kind heart though, and she is very generous and selfless in aiding those in need. She adores plants, animals, and children and is pretty easy to delight with cute/charming or beautiful things. It's easy to not take her all that seriously on first impressions since she's either a bit silly and too enthusiastic or is a bit weird about her obsession with nature (although, can you really blame her?), but she takes her responsibilities to the capital seriously.

Backstory

Not a lot is known about the specifics of Aria's early life, but it is clear that she once lived in the forests of Ranivasis with the other dryads and Arbyr Elementals. Like many other dryads, she apparently lived there for quite a bit longer than her humanoid appearance lets on. She first traveled to the capital city of Uniselias when her region of the forest was invaded and burned by the Enlightened, and she sought out help from the capital in reclaiming the land. Up until then, she had no idea how vast the Enlightened's destruction reached across their planet, and she worked with the government officials and sages of Uniselias in coordinating their efforts with the other Ranivasis denizens to push back their foes. Although it took several years, the Enlightened eventually was ousted from the forests and recovery efforts could start. Although Aria initially assisted in the startup work in rebuilding the forests, she decided to return to the capital and continue to fight against the Enlightened on behalf of her people.

Due to her close involvement with the sages, the collective of nature spirits of Doobutsu Tenshi has chosen Aria to be the Arbyr channeler for their Channeler Counsel. She along with the other channelers have focused their efforts in combating the enemy and protecting the denizens of Doobutsu Tenshi. She also leads numerous efforts to repair and regrow various damaged regions of their world.
