The flapping moves a large area very slowly and is effectively silent<br/>but more prone to being upset with strong winds.<br/><br/><strong>General Presence </strong>Regal ( via posture, physique and speach )<br/><br/>Ayra moves gracefully, and talks in a breathy musical manner some would easily deem regal, dreamy or worse. A voice of such manner she must adopt however as sharper use of speech could easily be painful to even her muffled ears if said with gusto passion sometimes brings.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong><br/><br/>Born with feathered wings and horns-painful to her to touch, with sight and hearing so acute it was impractical, none really knew what to make of her. When everything was painfully loud or bright or worse a self-chosen silk-blindfold which also muffled hearing had welcomed benefits.  Once she adopted her own silk-blindfold, a stranger found her and for their own reasons tutored her in the ways of the world her alienation robbed her of. Over time, visions of the area about her made-from-vibrations her horns could interpret became her new sight. Her mentor later realized her strange Horns acted like a bat's ears to sounds.  By singing the area about her became clear however ones voice is a hard thing to keep up each moment one wishes to see so soon the sorceress adopted the harp, an instrument which could still sing for a long time after strung once, and vestitile and unobtrusive enough to be pleasant background music, a sound most loved listening to. When her harp skills became decent enough such that she habitually strung it every few minutes to keep a faint background sound of lingering chords in the air, she became confident enough to extend her wings and dare the flight she had hungered for. What frustration Arya had to learning to deal with such complex  senses was soon vented in a new found freedom. When she could realise she could hover effortlessly, even in her sleep this freedom became exstacy. A dream all others only dared to have.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong> Reproduction and Sexual Organs </strong></div><br/>Her race is one of a complex exotic hermaphrodites all personally too fragile to bare children, which instead have taken to rely on either seeding other races or making other races surrogate mothers. When with a male, the received ejaculate is simply used as a lubricant for an internal snake-tongue-shaped organ to enter the mounting male's penis harmlessly though its urethra to deposit an egg in each testicle where they lie dormant until the next time the male deposits into a humanoid female, which would in turn become a surrogate mother.  When with a female however her cliterous will swell into phallus to either fertilize developed eggs that are ovulating or fertilize all undeveloped ovum within the ovaries of a humanoid female such that when each subsequently ovulate, offspring will only be produced if coupled with the seed of another celestial<br/><br/><strong>Special Abilities</strong><br/><br/><div align="center"><em>Sound</em></div><br/>Her ability to play the harp and sing is literally angelically good, no wonder considering she is one, and she also has the ability to see like a bat does using echos to deduce her environment. Her eyesight is suited for starlight and full moons are as bright to her as mid-day summer is to others. To prevent painful experiences during her time on the world she has adopted a silk blindfold which more or less blinds her eyesight leaving only her sonar-bat-like-vision and normal hearing as her prime senses. This poses a problem for her however as very loud sounds can cause her pain and effectively overwhelm her ability to understand what is happening. To talk to her without hurting her whispers are appropriate, and her main form of dialog, although she does not need to be closeby to hear others do so she knows others hearing is not as fine as hers and will approach people such that they can hear her talk while she speaks in a volume that doesnt hurt.<br/><br/><div align="center"><em>Magic</em></div><br/>Arya retrieves sorcery energy from starlight and moonlight which she can use to foretell many things, primarily the moods and intentions of those about her and even far away, giving her a "emotion and intention map" to navigate with. Using this mind-map she can find those who are in distress while they asleep and typically would be able to not only sense what they need to feel or know to heal their emotional scars, (be it shame or guilt, depression, or a broken heart), but also be able to partially or wholey heal such while they sleep within minutes on being nearby before moving on. All without her "patients" being aware of her actions, or if anything simply believing a dream cured them. Most however believe they just woke up feeling better, freer, happier and "snapped out of their depression" on their own. "The emotion and intention map" that she can sense is so sensitive it permits her to be able to travel while blindfolded without fear of being surprised and can even use it to foretell weather patterns enough for her to predict the best air-currents in advance to her current state.<br/><br/><strong>Recent History</strong><br/><br/>Unfortunately without exposure to moonlight or starlight her powers of sorcery become diminished. How she got trapped was due to the overload knowing of their nature and creating a trap at a time clouded skys had been prevalent for many months. Thus her emotional and intention map was so weak the overlord was able to have effective to hide his evil motive.  She is a rare prize for not many even know such angels exist, and less even have seen one. Still the means to keep such a creature trapped while alive isnt easy for without wind and a lot of room, the Angel will perish, and great halls for her to linger had to be reserved for such, when very ill due to her captivity she is permitted to fly outside it is overcast while the wind is calm, but is prevented from traveling too far or lingering outside long enough to be able to experience moonlight or starlight directly.  Other times she is forced to haunt long windy cathedral like halls, which share walls with so many who are also enslaved, their hearts all so haunted by their mutual condition, her ability to heal-their sorrows ... so painfully close ... but far enough to be so painfully far away..<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://attachments.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=237123&amp;stc=1&amp;d=1194758086)</div>
