Attempting to find the light in every dark situation, as she always has. Allows herself to feel many things when faced with circumstances that she would rather avoid, but has begun to wonder if her method of coping is the best way to handle herself. After a number of talks and incidents, 'realizes' that her softer nature and inclination toward love-and-be-loved may make others want to shelter her from all things bad and ugly, even if she protests it. Can't help but to wonder if she should try harder to be more involved. Even briefly contemplates extreme measures that she assumes would bring her 'up to par' with her siblings, perhaps even her fathers.

Still, more easily heartbroken than determined at self sabotage to do anything about her tiny frustrations... or rather, for it all, more determined to keep being happy - even if she isn't.

This character is a work of fiction. It means that she isn't real. Although real people, real places, and real things may loosely inspire her. She is always 1000000% in character, however, she doesn't represent me in any personal way. Her opinions do not reflect my own. All relations described within her biography are by her perception of a situation and an individual, it is not necessarily the 'truth' regarding any characters in question.

Thanks for reading!

 Name: Shikha*.
 Alias: Shi-shi, Priya*By Nikhil, 'Beloved' in Hindi. , Roshanee*By Nikhil, 'Illuminated' in Hindi. .
 Title: The Architect
 Age: 10 months; born February 14th, 2016
 Gender: ♀ - Female - Tigress
 Sexuality: --
 Species: Tiger / Cervine hybrid* Conceived via black magik. .
 Size: #12
 Scent: Home, family* Nikhil, Shardul, Lekha.
 Diet: Magivorous* Feeds on magiks. .
 Haunts: Home
 Zodiac: Monkey, ♒
 Vocals: #E6DDC3

  Born with the mentality of a child nearing the age of four, however not quite there. A little behind her sister as a result of the magik that Lekha sucked up.

• Cold enough to burn, but with practice, can maintain a higher body temperature. Water doesn't freeze and stick to her unless she's ill, as her magik protects her body from natural damages (rain, for example).

• When she's sick her temperature will dramatically fluctuate between -109.3°F (-78.5°C) and 99.8°F (37.6°C). For very obvious reasons, this is incredibly dangerous. Her temperature needs to be steadily maintained when she's ill or she'll only get sicker.

• Becomes stressed easily, but bottles it up. Released in the form of artistic expression. Through her drawings, paintings, and other magik creations. In the face of immediate, unavoidable great stress, will begin to scream until everyone stops talking/yelling/arguing or leaves.

• Advocate (INFJ-t).

• She would prefer to eat and take the magik from a plant than an animal. Deeply saddened by the idea that, through eating another animal, she's ruining someone's small and happy family. For this reason she rarely hunts or fishes.

She wore flowers in her hair and carried magic secrets in her eyes. She spoke to no one. She sent hours on the riverbank and had midnight swims.

This is a good example of her personality:

  Nikhil — Fiih, Fa'ih. Autumn Fire. Father. Care-giver. Immediately imprinted upon. Unconditionally loves him and seeks after for attention, comfort, and protection. Despite some of the various mistakes he has made, more than once willingly and eagerly forgave them and tries - in her own way - to make him feel better when he seems sad. Forgives before there's need to be forgiven. In her own way, fiercely protective of.
cissy gonna kill me im redoing this but not right now im very tired X( he is papa. fire papa.

  Shardul — FaahDespite the two different names for her fathers, 'Faahs' would refer to both fathers., Fa'ah. Blizzard. Cool comfort and level-headed. Her father and life-giver. He is unconditionally loved and respected; sought after for attention, comfort, protection, advice, stability, and reassurance. Hugely appreciative of all he's done for her. Forgives before there's need to be forgiven. Fiercely protective of him.

  Lekha — Lekhasa, Lili. Sister. Created by magik alongside her, though she took most of it during their developmental stages. Unconditionally loved and adored. Lekha's approval, reassurance, and attention is sought for often in silence; though struggles with a tad bit of jealousy - despite being told she shouldn't be jealous. Easily and deeply hurt by the littlest perceived offset in their sibling relationship, but has learned to try and confront her upsets and concerns as to vanquish unwanted anxiety. Has placed her sister upon a very high pedestal. Longs to be closer in ways Shikha can't describe. Fiercely protective of her.

  Ma'ao — A friend and brother figure. Wholeheartedly loved and adored, despite certain strains within their unfortunate family dynamic. Considers herself a tad selfish for wanting a bond as close as he and Lekha are perceived to have - calls him brother still and longs for the closeness they had as younger children. Opts to give him space, but in the same instance desires to spend time with him like nothing else. Worries for him greatly and values his opinions more than most.

  Flower — Her pet fantail goldfish. Got him from the pet shop shortly after being gifted a fish bowl from fa'ih. Cherished and adored. Subject of her drawings.

  Fireball — Her orange/white kitten from Nikhil, Christmas 2016. Cherished and adored. Subject of her drawings.

  Snowball — Her white stripes kitten from Shardul, Christmas 2016. Cherished and adored. Subject of her drawings.

  Name — A 6 inch high enchanted crystal figurine made of black tourmaline, a protective stone. It acts upon Shikha's will. Gifted to her by Lekha, Christmas 2016. Cherished and adored. Subject of her drawings.

  Illusory magik is used to create illusions with the mind. As for now it's a subconscious action. Her magik is behaving instinctively and unintentionally.

• All of her illusory magik is intangible. Nothing she creates, at present, has solid form. If one were to look closely they would notice a degree of translucence. However, her illusions have temperature.

• Capable of changing from a tiger face to a deer face. However, her face is and always will be a tiger face. The appearance of the deer face is an illusion.

• Things that are associated with safety will be used for protection. She might create antlers (shown through default antlers) to appear stronger, large teeth to appear scarier (expressed through excessive taunting), or make herself appear bigger to intimidate.

• Dreams out loud with mist-esq apparitions that appear over her head while she sleeps.

• Any real memory that she can recall can be projected as a realistic illusion with ease, but as a child these images will be exaggerated. Faces and places may be stretched and contorted from reality. Illusions created from her own imagination will appear, as she is a child, more like the drawings and scribbles of such. As she gets older her artistic abilities will improve and her illusions will be more realistic, even if they aren't pulled from real memory.



  Transformative magik is her body's ability to take in almost any substance and turn it into dark magik to sustain her being. Early on in development she was deprived of much magik as her sister sucked it all up. In order to keep her going, her body adjusted to accept more than just black magik.

• Light and dark magik can sustain her, meaning that light magik doesn't hurt. If she feeds off of light magik her body usually turns it into black magik. However, occasionally light magik will not be transformed into black magik and so she retains a small amount of it in herself.

• Her digestive system harvests any magik in plants and meats, but also the plants and meats themselves can often be turned to dark magik if they don't already contain magik.

I've probably forgotten a few here... ):

• A glass tiger from Nikhil and Shardul.

• A toy tiger from Nikhil and Shardul.

• Crayons and a coloring book from Nikhil.

• A cook book from Nikhil.

• A fish bowl from Nikhil, later used for her goldfish, Flower.

• A white scarf and acrylic paints from Nikhil.
