Name: Sera (no other names)
Race: 'Entity' - Similar to a magical construct, but built entirely of magical energy, rather than attaching a soul to a pre-existing object.
Age: 302
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Homosexual
Appearance: (Being constructed entirely of magic, she can technically take any form; she likes this one though)
Year: 8
Former Magic School: Dragonborne
Primary Magic: Devoid
Specialized Magic: Royal Flush
Sera's abilities take 'sleight of hand' to a new level. At any time, she may conjure a deck of cards (those in the picture). She can manipulate this deck completely to her will - teleport cards, accelerate and decelerate cards, alter their strength and the sharpness of their edge, create an infinite quantity of them and control them telekinetically. The cards are a projection of herself, so have certain similar qualities as she does (see below). They act as a natural barrier to magic (although powerful spells will break through), and theoretically, they can change shape, although she hasn't figured out how yet.
Bonus Aspect: Entity - Besides Royal Flush, which is simply an extension of her own existence, Sera is incompatible with magic. She can't use any spell, except for Royal Flush, and spells used on her may fail if their magnitude is low. Whether or not a spell fails is determined by the amount of effort put into casting the spell, for example, a firestorm that required a lot of mana would not be negated (although, its effects on Sera would be reduced a little), but a casual ember that used trace amounts of mana would be prevented. (I wouldn't really class this as either a blessing or curse, since the positives are balanced by the negatives and vice-versa.)
Noteworthy Items: Sera's hat is capable of summoning certain illusions (Which illusions are available is limited and revolve around stage-magic). She stole it off a travelling entertainer.
Personality: Sera is incredibly intelligent, and never forgets anything she's learned. This gave her an air of superiority, always considering herself better than her peers, and as a result, she can be quite harsh and abrasive. Should you prove yourself someone worth keeping around, however, she can be quite pleasant and genuinely kind towards you. Unfortunately, this is a very hard thing to prove. She is quite extroverted and can be rather noisy at times.
Background: Sera was built around 300 years ago, though back then she was only partially complete so has few memories. The earliest thing she remembers is being in a war zone - she was essentially used as a power source for magical artillery units. Since the conclusion of that battle, she has wandered around, learning everything there is to learn about the world making her memories surprisingly valuable to researchers. She decided to hide within the Dragonborne academy partly to prevent researchers from harming her; partly to learn of a way to use magic besides her card tricks. She has a system set up with the headmaster that means at the end of every tenth school year, she drops out, then transfers in to the seventh class at the start of the next year, gaining her the reputation of "Eternal Transfer Student" among people who notice. Since she doesn't age, this seemed like the best option. She is on the 4th repeat of this cycle so far.
Ultimate Goal: (Something they wish to do or obtain will at the Academy or in life)
