she's naïve to put it simply. she trusts to much and thinks very little about the aftermath of whom she puts her beliefs in. prone to emotional outbursts and shying away from taking praise, pleased with being in the background and seeing others thrive. she cries easily, pouts over small things. has a distinct love for nature and anything involving it. she's extremely loyal to artemis, whom she was one of her many nymph and naiad followers. tends to be rash in her thinking, taking the approach of “act now, questions later” without even considering any ill effects.[break][break]

very out of tune with the new world and doesn't understand a lot of things, giving her a notable disadvantage. she's blissfully ignorant about the chaos going on around her, clinging to the little bubble of safety she has blown around her. however it is obvious she's in for a very rude awakening. and soon.



the daughter of a minor river god and one of his many wives, a nymph. a little bit after her birth she was left to her own devices and was said to have joined the ranks of artemis in her youth. she spent most of her days running around the woodlands of greece with others like her; another face in the crowd. however while minding her own business one day she suddenly found herself as the object of affection of apollo whom has been pierced by eros' arrow as revenge. he chased her down and she fled (of course—wouldn't you if some man was chasing you?) and desperately she begged to her father to stop him. but he decided to turn her into a tree. yeah. so she's been a tree for the last few centuries. thanks dad.[break][break]

but finally the spell broke and she crumbled to her knees, unsure how to walk, lost in the very woods she has sworn to protect oh-so long ago. she quickly figured out that this world was different... nothing seemed the same in her homeland. so she travelled, overseas and upon land until she reached a place called america. joining the initiative was just a way so she could gather her bearings. besides, she did hear about some other major gods there as well...

user becomes stronger, faster, and more durable when they come into contact with environment/landscape, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing their existing powers. in daphne's case she draws power from nature, most likely woodland areas and other spacious environments. the list below are subsequent abilities that go along with this power.[break][break]

• SEMI-IMMORTALITY: as the daughter of a minor river god; she has the ability to live relatively long. small colds, diseases, and other bodily afflictions are of no concern to her—but she can be killed. however she'll live as long as nobody puts a knife in her back. she's been alive since the greek gods were worshipped and revered, but then again she's been living as a tree for centuries.
• ENHANCED CONDITION: being half olympian and she's got the power to show it. her physical and mental capabilities are much more significant, but this power weakens slightly whenever she is not in any wooded area.
• ENHANCED SPEED: daphne can run up to 60 mph while in sprint. however she can only run in short bursts and allows the momentum to take her farther than her legs can. she can also run on all fours which gives her a small amount of longevity into this ability. as a nymph it's almost expected to be a good runner as they often had to run away from lovelorn gods.
• SELF SUSTENANCE: can go long periods without food or water, living off a type of photosynthesis whereas she can take energy from the sun.

the user can shapeshift their form, transforming and reshaping themselves potentially down to their genetic and cellular structure. like the folklore that surrounds her name, daphne can turn into a tree—a laurel tree, to be exact. it is predominantly used as a disguise and a mode of resting to get energy via actual photosynthesis.




user with this ability either is or can mimic or transform into caprines (goats / antelopes / sheep). for some reason daphne has... horns. similar to a bighorn ram, as well as wool covering her joints such as her wrists and ankles. it's a curious power, really, but she doesn't question it. however she often feels the urge to headbutt people that annoy her.




the user has tears that can heal any wound it touches. they can heal any living being including humans, animals, plants, etc. the laurel tree and it's leaves are known for their healing properties, which daphne can use to heal others and even herself if her tears land on her own injuries. she can only heal open wounds and broken bones, quicking the process to take only five minutes.
