Character Name: Xania Thoren
Gender: Varies, usually female. Will be using "her" in this profile because gender-neutral pronouns are clunky.
Race: Human
Character Age: 19, varies somewhat in appearance
Height/Build: Varies - usually 5'9, 120 lbs. True form is 5'4, 120 lbs.
Character Appearance: Xania's appearance varies due to her ability, but she has a particular, supermodel-esque form that she has noticed many men are particularly fond of. This particular form is tall, quite thin, and busty. The hair is blonde, wavy, and comes down to the middle of her back. In this form, her eyes are blue-green and her eyebrows are thin. Her skin is light and smooth. She wears a long, sea-foam colored dress without sleeves, and high-heeled shoes of the same color.
When she somehow cannot change, she reverts to her true form. In this form she is shorter than average and has a plain face. Coarse brown hair surrounds a tanned face covered in freckles. Her face is covered in pale blotches. Her eyes in this form are deep and usually have dark circles underneath, as though she hasn't slept enough. She wears a dress of coarse brown cloth with patches in it, and two sturdy brown shoes. There is something kind about her appearance in her true form.
No matter her form, Xania always wears a large, glittering stone, transparent with a rainbow sheen, set in silver around her neck.
Special Power/Ability: Xania can change her appearance at will, but must remain a human.
Personality: In her childhood, Xania was a kind and gentle girl. She forgave people for their wrongs, and cried at the death of flowers. Although this aspect of her personality occasionally shines through, this is no longer the case.
Xania, under the instruction of her stone (see History), has become manipulative and cunning, seeing men as amusements more than people. She very rarely opens up to people, preferring to mislead them. She changes her displayed personalities on a whim, one day changing to a small, delicate form and acting shy and innocent, the next adopting an Amazon-esque form and acting brazen and loud. Occasionally she questions what she has become, but this is quickly dispelled by the stone around her neck.
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, usually prefers men

History: Xania grew up in Dirys as a peasant girl working in the mines, where the world constantly told her, "You are ugly and cannot be loved." Her schoolmates, her neighbors, even her parents told her this - whether the message was intentional or not, it was always the same. Her schoolmates taunted her, her neighbors teased her, her family made remarks at gatherings that she would never get a good husband with such ugly blotches on her plain face. She took to spending her time in an abandoned mine nearby, where the villagers never went - it was said to be haunted.
One day, while exploring the cave, she saw something glitter in a pile of coal. When she drew it out, it was a large, glittering stone, set in an ornate silver backing. Sadly, she whispered to the stone, "If only you could teach me to be beautiful..."
And then the stone replied.
*My love, I can teach you that. You will be as radiant next to other women as I am in a pile of coal. You will outshine the stars.*
Her face began to change.
*All you must do is trust me. Follow me. Obey my commands.*
She stared into a pool of water nearby in astonishment as her face changed into a vision of beauty. Her hair turned long and silky, her face became lovely and fair, and the horrible birthmarks that she had learned to loathe disappeared from her face.
*We'll show the world how beautiful you really are.*
The world had said, "You are ugly and cannot be loved." She set out that day to prove it wrong.

Roleplay Example:
Xania swept into the tavern in a midnight blue traveling-cloak, pulled over her head to shield her from the pouring rain outside. Mud everywhere. She despised mud. It reminded her of her filthy hometown, the one that she had left behind without a glance over her shoulder.
*Don't linger on your past, Xania. There are many things to be done here tonight.* Her stone had spoken up, a rainbow scene dancing across its surface as it whispered in her mind.
The stone was right. She should make a conquest or two. That's what taverns were for, after all. She shrugged the wet cloak off her shoulders, hung it on a hook nearby, and set out to conquer the dingy place.
At first, she only went after the weaker men, the ones who had gawked at her once she had removed her cloak. Flirting here, chatting there, accumulating offers for free drinks. She never got close enough to send the message, "I am seriously interested in you"- this was just a warmup exercise. There was no hurry, no pressure. She was simply scouting.
Then she began chatting with the ones who hadn't gawked, simply looked. She was doing quite well with an attractive guy in the back corner of the room when, sitting at a table near the bar, she saw someone that made her heart stop for just a moment. At that moment she knew - he was to be the result of her quest tonight.
