Appearance

A wee creature, standing only 3 feet tall, Ione is a fairy formed from an ordinary white lily.
As such, her skin and hair are made of a soft, fleshlike plant material, with pale and purple hues intermingling beneath the surface of her skin.
She has a total of six wings that are disguised as "hair", which rest against her back when not in use.

Inarguably, the aura that surrounds her is mysterious if not eccentric, and she often speaks little, cryptically, or not at all; her alien beauty drawing the ire and interest of others in equal amounts.

History

Background: Outlander

Born years ago by the will of a cosmic goddess, that day, celestial tears fell from the sky; landing upon an ordinary lily.
The flower grew, morphing its shape and changing its color - dyed in the purple hues of The Weeping One.

The One Who Wept cried out for help, but none could hear them.
For an age, their tears fell without answer, their calls for aid swallowed up by the void.
The lily listened to its master, sharing in her sorrow. Twisting in her pain, wallowing in her misery.
The goddess screamed from beyond the stars, one desperate plea among many.

"Don't cry," The flower replied, the voice of a stranger slipping out from between newly formed lips, "-I'll help you."

Urged forward by the sound of distant weeping, the reborn lily would rise to their foreign feet, stumbling blindly through the night.
The beasts were hungry, the people were wary, the winters were cold and the summers were scalding; but the flower paid it no mind.
Her ability to adapt was an inherent talent, for the stalks of flowers were meant to bend, not break.

Ione would continue her restless journey until it found her at the outskirts of Asari, the whisperings of her Goddess guiding her toward the academy of magic with promises of answers.

Personality

Most would describe Ione as a mysterious person. Someone who is hard to meet, hard to get to know, and even harder to understand.
Her eccentricities may border on madness at times, seemingly nonsensical to those who do not know her well.
This is compounded by her lack of social skills and inability to communicate properly with others - a skill that she had never learned in her years spent travelling alone, and one that she continues to struggle with even now.
Because of her time spent in solitude, the fairy often misses the underlying intentions of others, and is prone to falling for even the simplest of deceptions.
Ione takes everything others say at face value, and communicates herself without grace or tact.

Despite her inexplicable actions, her movements are guided by the One Who Weeps, and typically her intentions are pure, however oddly they may be expressed.
She means well, and will often help others where she believes she can, so long as that help does not impede her goals.

As a flower-turned-person, Ione is not yet accustomed to having her own free will, and finds immense difficulty in making personal decisions without the help of her goddess. Due to this, if she cannot contact The Weeping One, the fairy will often default to coin flipping or similar methods to make the decision for her. Perhaps, through experience, she may develop thoughts and motives of her own; but as of now, she operates at the behest of the Goddess, carrying out her divine will as a devoted servant of the stars.

Motivations/Ideals:
"Why is it that I live? If I find my master, If I end her weeping, will I learn the reason?"
"My pursuit of knowledge will not be halted for anything... or anyone."
"The will of the Goddess is law."
