Name: Lidia Crespo
Sex/Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: Lidia is around 5'4'', though she typically appears even shorter than that because of how awful her posture is; the girl is constantly hunching over. She's also quite thin and rather bony at that... generally not the healthiest-looking of folks, especially considering how pale she is. Her hair is a dark black and intensely curly, billowing back to the bottom ends of her shoulderblades, but also something of a horrid mess, at the same time. Her eyes are naturally narrow and are a rather vibrant and eye-catching shade of emerald green. All in all, she is FAR from stunning: she would have real potential on that front if she actually took care of herself, but she doesn't. She tends to wear rather concealing clothing, such as loose pairs of jeans (often black), and various long-sleeved shirts only barely visible under a hoodie the color of her eyes.
Personality: Lidia's a horribly unhappy person. Being a personification of the Deadly Sin of Envy will do that to you. She's almost constantly jealous: not of the items or money other people have (she can be ironically quite generous with stuff of that sort to similarly unhappy folks), but of the intangible things. Beauty, happiness, and popularity and all that -- in general, the higher-up a person is, the prettier, and the happier, the more envious she is. This is at the core of why she's unhappy: she's so focused on being jealous of others' lives that she never stops to uncover the things she has potential for on her own.
This isn't to say she's a wholly terrible person, seeing that she shows a surprising amount of sympathy and charity to those in similar positions to hers, and seeing that when the chips are down she will inevitably do her best to help people... but most of this just doesn't show normally, and most people are only going to see an irritable, reclusive girl.
Backstory: The Pantokrator rules all divine -- this is a fact. Though his domain consists of many places and many divisions, they never get the chance to actually FIGHT, lest the Pantokrator come down on them. This sure doesn't stop them from arming up, though. A very Hell-like division sits in his domain, part of a domain that approaches the Christian faith's beliefs... approaches, at least, as the religion has some things wrong and some things right. This Hell constantly arms up for the eventuality that the Pantokrator disappears, preparing to make its move, even if that move might not ever come. This includes experimentation of the strangest kind, fusing magical cores of the Seven Deadly Sins (one of the correctly interpreted elements) with artificial souls and preparing to make them soldiers. The soul that would become Lidia Crespo was one of these souls, infused with a core of jealousy and left waiting dormant... until a royal screw-up on Hell's part released all of the prepared souls, breaking them of their attachments to hell, and giving them physical forms on Earth.
Lidia manifested as a fourteen year old girl, with some level of knowledge of what she was and where she came from, as well as some knowledge of how things worked on Earth. And while this may have been useful, she sure hadn't actually LIVED on Earth before, and she had absolutely no pre-existing ties. So she made a hermit's life far in the middle of Ohio, only approaching the cities after about a year or so... at which point she promptly started to make a minor nuisance of herself. She wasn't causing much trouble, but she was causing trouble, and after a year or so various groups started to notice the Envy girl. Red Moons, luckily for her, decided to take action itself, grabbing her for its student body before some group like the Inquisition took matters into its own hands.
Supernatural Abilities: Lidia is a personification of the Deadly Sin of Envy, a magical essence of jealousy infused with a created soul and placed into a physical form, and therefore her powers revolve around envy. She can do two things mainly: A. copy someone else's power, albeit in a much weaker form, and B. steal helpful magic cast at someone else for her own use, such as redirecting a healing spell to heal her instead. One of the few ties she has remaining to her hellish origin is a tendency to take damage from things explicitly meant to harm the unholy.
Class Choices: Alchemy, Basics of Magic, Physics (or any other science class, really), Writing
Stats:
Health: 40
Dice Pool: 6d6
Dispel: If a skill creates a persistent effect (such as, for example, a malus for 3 turns or a wall), Lidia can dispel it at the cost of 2 dice.
Steal Buff: Lidia is capable of stealing the effects of support skills. If an opponent uses a skill that provides a bonus either to them or an ally, Lidia can spend two dice to have it affect her instead. If the buff provides a bonus to an action, it applies to her next action.
Copy Power (Action): If an opponent uses a skill (magical in origin!), Lidia can copy the skill (spending 2 die) and place it into one of her Copy Slots, usable for the rest of the battle. Numerical results from these copied skills are reduced by 2. (An attack skill, for example, that dealt 2d6 damage, would deal 2d6-2 instead.) She can overwrite a Copy Slot with another Skill if she wishes.
Copy Slot 1: Holds a copied skill.
Copy Slot 2: Holds a copied skill.
Copy Slot 3: Hold a third copied skill.
