IC:
Character name: Leanne
Fandom: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Timeline: When she awakens from her sleep
Age: Appears in her 20s but could be a lot older.
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths:
Telepathy: She can read the thoughts of others but only when there is more balance then chaos (which will never without ooc permission.)
Empath: She can read the heart and soul of a person, sensing their emotions.
Laguz: She can transform into a human sized heron. Her hearing and sense of smell is also like a heron's sense of hearing and smell.
Creature of Order: Basically what this means, is that order and balance is good for her and will make her stronger while chaos will cause her to be weaker and become sick. Balance and order is good while chaos is bad in the most basic terms.
Galdir: Galdir is magic put into songs that can do a wide range of things. From giving more energy to those that are tired and completely worn out to healing nature (this is something that she won't be able to do without another Heron, unless there is a massive overkill of Order.) by implanting balance into the person through her songs. Galdir is also something that only those of the Heron clan can do and is the strength of the Heron's.
How would they use their abilities?: Mainly to help others and to restore 'balance' and 'order'.
Appearance:
Leanne stands just a little over 5 feet with very little to no weight on her. Her hair is blonde that goes down to almost her feet. She has a large pair of pure white wing that can easily carry her in flight. The types of clothing that she likes to wear are long white dresses and no shoes.

Background/Personality:
Personality:
When one looks at Leanne they see what one might expect to seeing one of the Heron clan: Quiet, gentle and caring. What they don't see is that she is also quite stubborn like her brothers and with that stubbornness; she can usually get what she wants. Leanne also has a childish side that could come from the fact that she was put to sleep when Serenes forest was set on fire. She is also very compassionate and forgiving as we see her that despite it was Beorcs (humans) that set her home on fire and killed off her race.
But that is her at a glance without going in depth of each of those traits. While she is a lot like the rest of her clan, she has her own spin on each of the common traits. Like, when I said that she is gentle, her gentleness comes out more so then her other traits and can easily be paired with compassion. Her gentleness comes out when she interacts with those that she is close to, by offering them the gift of her songs, a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear when they need one or even becoming the doting mother figure to them.
Her quietness comes from the fact that she did come from a royal court that only those who are strong can offer their voice and her own innate nature keeps her from speaking her opinion unless it was requested to hear it. But unfortunately, her stubbornness causes her to find a way to speak her mind or find a way to get her way. Her stubbornness came from another trait deeply rooted within her; her loyalty. She is not afraid to put herself in danger or in the middle of a battle if it means that she offer her friends aid, despite knowing full and well that by entering a battle and/or war, she puts herself at risk to become gravely ill which has the high chance of killing her.
Background:
Unlike her brothers not much is known about her background but what we do know is this: She is from the royal family of her clan and that she is the baby of the family. Her family is rather small when compared to other families is that she only had three older siblings: A sister and two brothers. But early on in her life a great tragedy strikes her family and clan; the oldest sibling, her only sister, suddenly vanishes without a trace and was never seen again.
The Heron clan was considered to be one of the most beloved out of all of the Laguez tribes and clans. Because of this, other bird clans were willing to aid and watch over the Herons and their royal family. One clan in particular was willing to become the guardians to the Herons and even sent their own royal family to watch over the Heron royal family. The Hawk clan along with the Crow clan, who later on, offered their own protection of the then royal family. Though her brothers preferred the Hawk clan, Leanne preferred to hang out with the crow clan but more importantly, their young prince. The two of them quickly became childhood sweethearts and Leanne, was willing to become the Crow prince's fiancé.
Happy times can be found for all of the Bird clans until tragedy strikes: The Serenes Massacre. The Beorcs of the Empire unknown to any of the clans decided to blame those of the Heron clan for a tragedy within their own Empire and without warning, attack the Serenes forest by setting fire to it. Leanne never interacted with any of those of the Beorc race before this, it was the first time she has ever felt truly afraid. The screams of her fellow Herons reaches her ears and her eyes catches the sight of those trying to escape the fires dying by the hands of the Beorcs. That sight was one of the final sights that she sees before her family rushes her away into the deep heart of the forest and it puts its spell on the young Heron princess for her to sleep and keep her safe and hidden until it is once more, safe for her to roam the world again.

1st person sample:
[A brief flicker can be seen on the journal’s screens before the image of Leanne sitting on the edge of a rooftop, frowning slightly. The wind, playing with a few strands of her hair along with the feathers of her wings as the Heron looks over the city below her. Why, why do these Beorcs prefer the dirtiness and the prison-like auras of these cities? Why, when they can experience the openness, freedom, cleanliness and beauty of the forests?
Even though the cities and the forests of this place are nothing like her home….
She closes her eyes with a sigh before reopening them, along with a small soft smile.]
Tell me, why do you Beorcs like these cities?
3rd person sample:
Her body felt heavy for the first time that she can remember. Green eyes flutter slowly open to take in the sight of her surroundings. Leanne slowly shifts out of her curled position in order to sit up. A pale and delicate hand slowly travels down to straighten the helm of her dress as her wings goes to stretch out behind her.
A small smile graces her lips as the area around her was alive and healthy, feeding her balance and order. She closes her eyes to bask in it before going to shift herself once more to slide off of her grassy bed and to stand up. She wavers just a little but manages not to fall as she goes start walking away from where she slept.
She keeps the smile as she continues to walk before it slowly fades into a worried expression as she notices just how quiet the forest is. She perks her ears as much as she can to try and detect any sound from anything. Nothing comes to her ears which causes her worries to increase even more so along with no scent coming to fill her nose. Just.... What happened here? Two delicate and pale hands lift to squeeze each other near her breasts as death and silence was all that greeted her wakening.
She closes her eyes and whispers a few words to ask the forest itself what happened. Her eyes reopen to a sadden expression at what she heard. Humans came and burned down the forest and killed her people. Despite hearing this, Leanne continues her small trek through the remains of her home.
Green eyes blink as her ears goes to pick up the sound of voices and hope filled her heart. She goes to move towards the source of the voices, coming into a clearing but stops. There were no other Herons there. Confused, she goes to look around, trying to find the source of the voices.
"I thought that I heard something here. But there is no one here. Am I truly the last? Father has to be here somewhere, I am sure that he has survived as well."
Green eyes once more look around to try and find the source but then the main source of the voice called out. When she turned to face the sound... It was a Beroc running towards her. At the sight of the Beorc, she turns to flee as fast and as far away as she can, only to have her world suddenly becoming black.
