1. Character's Name: Jael
2. Age: 20
3. Background: Jael comes from a world where there are two sentient races. One race is the humans, who favored technological advancement in lieu of not being able to do magic. The other race is the Kóri - who were known simply as "demons" by the humans - who are in touch with the elements, able to control them with magic. From the first meeting, there was tension between the two races. The Kóri were much more powerful physically. They could lift things up to 400 pounds unaided, and aged much slower than humans. However, the Kóri needed a constant source of food, or they would die of starvation and dehydration within a couple of days. Realizing they were outmatched, the humans began to make machines to help them survive, building sprawling cities across the land while the Kóri advanced much more slowly

Jael was born almost fifty years after the truce was made. Born to prominent magic users, Jael was born as a rare healer Kóri. While most magic used the elements themselves as weapons, healing magic used the flow of the elements within a person's body to heal wounds or sickness. On the other hand, it could also allow them to harm people. At the time Jael was born, there were only 20 other healer Kóri. Jael was treated with much respect, and her parents sequestered her away in their home and charged exorbitant amounts of money for anyone wanting to be healed. Jael didn't want to charge Kóri, being a kind-hearted girl who wanted to help everyone, but couldn't convince her parents to stop. At night, she started to sneak out and help the poorer Kóri who could not afford to pay the fees to see her

Shut into Gerasimos' citadel, the only company Jael had around her age was the king's son, Sotiris. Sotiris was kinder than most of the people within the citadel, but still acted superior to Jael, since he was raised to believe the Kóri were lesser beings. He eventually began to draw her out of the shell she had been in, but she still did not talk. The kind, helpful girl began to emerge again, but she had no outlet, since she was only allowed to heal soldiers and important aristocrats. Sotiris developed feelings for Jael as they both grew older, but Jael ignored his affections. She only had one person she considered a friend. Kleitos was Gerasimos’ lieutenant, but was the only one who had ever interacted with Jael without acting like she was from an inferior race. Kleitos had been the one to teach Jael to read and write in the human language, and sign language, so that she could communicate

Since she had never told anyone her name in an attempt to lay low, she began to become known as "the Mother" in slums. If you needed someone to help you, you went to the Mother. Jael spent a lot of time helping new additions to the slums, or sheltering people on their way out of the city. Eventually, Jael and her children found permanent lodging with a former doctor, who was the head of a resistance faction that was trying to overthrow Gerasimos' reign of tyranny

4. Personality: Since Jael is unable to communicate verbally, she's learned to be very expressive, though she is capable of hiding behind a blank face if she doesn't want to worry someone. She's patient and kind, but living in the slums has taught her how to stand up for herself, even if she feels bad for becoming angry. Jael will heal anyone, even if she's the one who caused the injury in the first place, unless she thinks that person doesn't deserve to be healed. She is gullible and easy to manipulate with the right tone and story. The only thing that she hides is her ability to heal, since it often caused contention with the people who knew. She is easily hurt, but is only really emotionally crushed when someone betrays her trust or when someone close to her dies

6. Appearance: Jael is thin and physically pretty weak for a Kóri, and stands at 5'6". Her hair is dark brown and wavy, falling a little below the shoulders. Her eyes are blue, and like all Kóri, Jael has long, pointed ears. She has scars on her body from the times she was beaten, thin scars on her hands and fingers from the rough work she often did in the slums, and newer, larger scars across her back, arms, and shoulders from her time on the M.S. Elegante due to the various beasties that attacked her.
7. Abilities: Jael is much stronger than a normal human, even in her weakened condition, so she'll be nerfed down to only a little bit stronger. For example, instead of being able to lift 250 pounds, she'll only be able to lift up to 100 pounds with ease. She can hear much better than a human due to her long ears

11. Writing sample - Third Person Prose:Jael had already checked on her kids three times that night and still she couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that was twisting her stomach into knots. None of the children had moved all night but she couldn’t help checking them once again. Making sure to block the light this time so she didn’t wake anyone, she cracked the door to see them all asleep
