Appearance

Original Appearance

A rather petite young woman, apparently in her late teens. Her long, curly, reddish-brown hair cascades down over her shoulders and frames her round face with it's perpetual smile. Deep blue eyes sparkle with humor and intelligence. Her skin is pale, almost creamy in color. From her head sprouts a pair of long, silky bunny ears, the fur matching her auburn hair.

Current Appearance

A young lady, in her early twenties. Her hair cascades around her shoulders, loose curls of black occasionally falling over her face. A pair of lavender furred bunny ears stick out of her hair, Her eyes, bright blue, sparkle with a mischevious intelligence, and a smile is almost always seen on her face.

History

Arrival on the Island

Kailia isn't quite sure when she first arrived on the island, although she's pretty sure that it was sometime near the end of 2004. The island was a strange, new place to the girl, although it was also exciting. She was still coming to terms with her attraction to other girls, although she seemed to be fairly accepting. During her early days, she did meet two other young women with whom she fell in love, Alonna and 2000-chan. She was seriously enough committed to both of these girls to pledge her life to them... Alas, both would disappear over the following months.

Discovery of her Magical Skills

Following the disappearance of Alonna and 2000-chan, Kailia was alone for quite some time. This would change when she met the Fae woman, Juliet. The two women lived together for a while. It was during this time that Kailia discovered her magical abilities as a Wizard. While not powerful enough to be part of the White Council, the ruling body of Wizards for her world, she did discover a talent for tracking and healing magics, as well as rituals.

Departure from the Island

It was not long after Juliet moved out of her house that Kailia suddenly left the island, seemingly without a trace (her house in one of the Faerie circles disappearing completely.) This isn't a period that she likes to talk much about, but from the little bits and pieces that she's let drop, it appears that she had developed an unspecified form of cancer, and left the island for treatment. This is corroborated by the fact that her hair color upon her return to the island is significantly darker (black as opposed to auburn brown,) as well as having to leave the island for a few days every three months or so.

Return to Yuriba

It was in late April of 2011 that Kailia suddenly returned to the Island. Her demeanor was different, more somber, and definitely more grown up, although still maintained the same pleasant personality that she'd had before. She was unable to renew old acquaintances, as many of her friends from before were gone, but she quickly made new friends, most notably the Shrine Maiden Kinuko and her friend and roommate, Mio Akiyama. It was her friendship (and more) with Kinuko and Mio, however, that got her into trouble, when first Kinuko, then Mio, were victimized by a powerful and malevolent Arch-demon. One day, Mio came to Kailia's home, and Kai, not suspecting anything, invited her friend to enter, beyond threshold and wards, leading to her being attacked by the demon which had possessed the girl. While Kailia's physical wounds were minor, the psychic and spiritual damage was terrible, leaving her unable to use her magic. However, in the final encounter with the demon which had possessed Mio, she was able to break through the lock which seemed to have been placed on her, releasing an incredibly powerful blast of pure magical energy. However, this came at great cost for her, as ever since she has barely been able to use any of her magical powers.

Second Departure and Return

Near the beginning of 2012, Kailia disappeared again, this time for roughly six months. She had undergone a re-occurance of her cancer, and had to be treated for it. Upon her return, she had lost some weight, and her hair, while still black, was slightly lighter. However, in spite of guilt over not being able to contact her friends, she was quickly welcomed back to her place in Kinuko's household. It was not long after this that Kinuko found yet another housemate, Nicole, a new arrival to the island. Kailia and Nicole very quickly became friends, and even more, and one quiet night, while Kinuko slept and the others were gone, they realized that they had fallen in love with each other...

Abilities and Powers

OOC Notes
Kailia's wizard abilities came from The Dresden Files, a series of Urban Fantasy/Mystery novels written by Jim Butcher. In her world, Kailia is classified as a wizard because of her ability to do multiple forms of magic, as opposed to Focused Practitioners (which include Witches, who are simply specialists at potions.) Sorcerers/Sorceresses are either Wizards or Focused Practitioners who have gone renegade, violating one of the seven Laws of Magic as set forth by the White Council (the governing body for Wizards.)

Kailia is a Wizard. In her home dimension, this has a specific meaning opposed to a Sorceress or Witch. While not particularly powerful, she is capable of doing a variety of magic, although her expertise is in tracking, healing, and some forms of ritual magic. She is capable of, but not very good at fast and dirty combat magic, however. Also, ever since her first encounter with the Leech demon possessing Mio, she was unable, due to the demon's interference, to use any magic of any sort, until she managed to release a burst of pure magical energy against the very same demon. However, it is too soon to see what effect this energy burst may have on her.

Kai's also a fairly experienced cook and baker, and is in fact considering opening an Ice Cream shop on Maboroshi in the very near future.
