<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>Name:</strong> Eudocia, usually shortened to Cia<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong> 318, appears to be in mid-20’s<br/><br/><strong>Race:</strong> Ondine<br/><br/><strong>Solid background:</strong> Born of the flowing water of a great river, the elemental spirit never wanted for anything else but to roll on the gentle waves. But then her river began to dry - more year after year, finally becoming a slow trickle that whispered of her eventual death. Tales came down the water of a dam miles upstream, erected by the townspeople to give a lake and some notoriety to their small town. In a fit of rage she rode the river towards the source of her dismay, using her connection to the water to bring a great flood to the people that had threatened her (albeit indirectly and most unknowingly), killing many and destroying the town. The blood spilled rolled into the water, turning her own river against her. A lesson had to be taught. So that her life would not end, she was given a small orb that contained water from the river her life was tied to. Then, she was cast out, unable to return to her home until her sins are somehow, someway, atoned for. <br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Quiet, reclusive and sometimes stern, due to her mistrust of humans or anyone that congregate in towns it can take quite a while for her to warm up to anyone she meets. If one can gain her trust, her loyalty flows as true as the strongest river and heaven help anyone that injures someone or something close to her. But get her around any body of water, whether it be man made or natural, her mood changes almost instantly. She becomes playful and almost childlike, unable to resist the draw of any pool or river. She has almost no experience with other creatures, be they human or not, so any interaction is bound to be...interesting.<br/><br/><strong>Special skills and powers:</strong> Cia has an affinity for water and though her powers are weakened by being far from her own river, she can speak or call to close bodies of water to cause small floods or diversions. To a certain point, she can use water to search for things or to see places that may be further away, using it as a looking glass.<br/><br/><strong>Weapons if any:</strong> No weapons.<br/><br/><strong>Ties to any other characters:</strong> Currently no ties to other characters.<br/><br/><strong>Motivations:</strong> She knows she has to find some way to make up for the mistakes and deaths she left behind her. But only the river knows what will soothe it, whether it be her helping someone or some grander action.</span>
