Caoimhe Hambledon
Nickname:
Keevy, Kee
Real Age:
21
Appeared Age:
21
Species - The Selkie
Contrary to popular belief, Selkies do not shed their skin. They are a subspecies of Merpeople and consequently their transformation is triggered by exposure to water. All Selkies have enhanced lung capacity, and supernatural strength. In their full seal form, their skin is resistant to the cold and their senses are more acute.
Selkies act oddly when they have not touched a body of water in a while. They go through withdrawal and become fidgety, irritated and restless. Eventually, it will start to physically hurt - wracking pains across their bodies, shuddering muscular spasms and nosebleeds being the more common features of water withdrawal. Prolonged separation from water has been known to be fatal, as the muscular spasms can trigger a heart attack.
Powers:
Selkie metamorphosis: the lower half of Caoimhe's body transforms involuntarily into that of a seal when everything below the knees is submerged in water. Once in this stage, Caoimhe can voluntarily transform into a full seal. Reverting back into a human form doesn't need a trigger and can be done anywhere, but it's usually more convenient to have legs on land.
Water manipulation: The ability to move water, in all of its forms. The larger the body of water and the longer the power is used, the more energy it uses up until the caster faints. Includes the ability to freeze and boil water. NB: at the moment, Caoimhe is unable to properly control this power.
Will-o-the-Wisps: The ability to create ethereal orbs of blue flame. These fireballs are able to be controlled and can burn or pass through solid substances, but never be able to do both at one time. They seem to have a life of their own and Caoimhe refers to them as spirits. NB: at the moment, Caoimhe is unable to properly control this power.
Personality:
Optimistic || Stubborn || Loyal || Short-tempered
Caoimhe has a typical Scottish temperament; very rowdy and rough, but welcoming. She takes well to meeting new people and tries to include as many folk as possible in her life, surrounding herself with friends. On top of that, she is quick-witted and empathetic. This gives way to an open-minded outlook on life.
However, her upbringing has created an insatiable lust for adventure and excitement, which she channels into her rebellious actions and anti-authority mindset. Not only does she disregard rules, she openly mocks the enforcers with sarcasm and blunt honesty coupled with a sharp, witty tongue. Caoimhe sees danger as a challenge and is inevitably drawn towards trouble, sometimes instigating the situation herself.

History:
In the rough wilds of the south-eastern Scottish coast, the Hambledon Fishermen flourished as a small, local business. It provided nothing but high quality produce, due to the hard work of the selkie staff.
Caoimhe grew up in a large family, which left little room for self-development. She went to a local public school and flourished academically, but the strenuous difficulty of performing magic frustrated and alienated her from her magically proficient siblings. Her own powers were chaotic, unpredictable and hard to control at the best of times. Exasperated with her progress, Caoimhe's father enlisted her into Vieuxpont Academy, in the hopes that she will benefit from the experience.
