Age: 24
Gender: Female
Occupation: Wandering Healer / Mendicant
Birthplace: Solis
Nation they're currently in: Sidus
Race: Human
Appearance//
Micah stands at a bit taller than the average height for a woman, standing at five foot ten, it seems to be a trait which runs in her family which is full of tall people. Her hair is very long, it is actually black, almost obsidian in color, but sometimes in the moonlight it looks blue. Her eyes, however, are actually a deep blue as opposed to her hair which occasionally looks the part. They seem to always carry a feeling of melancholy and want of belonging in there. She's slender, lithe, but her body is quite malnourished due to a lack of food, her diet is poor due to reasons that will be explained in her history. She is, as a result, much more frail than she should be and requires utmost care and attention in order to regain her proper strength. So while she might have a pretty face and a seemingly slender form it's ruined because she looks pretty pathetic physically. It's proof that something happened to her when she was younger.
Clothing/Armor: Micah is known to wear a distinct white dress which has long flowing sleeves. It somehow fits her figure but it's not like a lot of things wouldn't fit her malnourished body to begin with. She wears a golden hairband which seems to be a gift from her parents when she was much younger, she seems to never take it off. She doesn't wear footwear, not even sandals, she has been walking barefoot for the longest time, which has given her some infamy. This also means her feet are usually sore and cut due to stepping on stray rocks, etc. She doesn't really have what one would call a wardrobe; she would always be wearing these. Though she does her best to maintain its quality.
Personality//
Micah is, in a word, pathetic. Though her mind is intelligent and by now she has learned to sweet-talk her way past most things, how well she operates is based on how nourished she is - if she is well-fed, she can respond to anything fairly well and eloquently at that, but she has learned to make begging into an art rather than something someone lacking dignity would do (though it wouldn't make a difference depending on who you talked to). As a result, Micah has grown to be a little reticent and especially very submissive, rather letting her emancipated appearance do most of the talking. She feels outcasted and feels very much unwanted, though she has learned to keep these fears inside and rarely does she ever talk about these things and troubles. She tries to be as studious as she can so that she may one day be accepted by someone or some people, but she finds it difficult to attain these things if she finds herself begging for food and water about ninety percent of the time.
Due to her being a victim of circumstance, Micah has been emotionally battered and scarred due to the things she has had to resort to in order to ensure her survival, her physical appearance may be bad but emotionally speaking she is far worse off. She has tried her best to maintain her sanity but for her it is difficult; she is always on the move and her outward altruism is of course a front - she is usually pretty nice, but more often than not she expects a thing or two in return. If she does something for you and asks nothing back in return from you, then you are either a very close friend of her's, or someone she is indebted to, or someone even more than that. Micah has learned to be very appreciative of small things as a result, such as food donations from those generous souls or guidance from those older than she is.
She used to be an optimist, but she has been growing into the opposite. However, she has never even thought about giving up or letting herself disappear. She knows that it is hard but she also believes that she could have a better purpose in the future.
Likes: Food, being treated with respect, acceptance
Dislikes: Rejection, things not going her way
Greatest Strength: Intense fortitude
Worst Flaw: Being fatalistic to a fault, believing literally everything has a reason to happen
Hobbies: She doesn't have the time for hobbies
Goals: To be able to pick herself up and escape the vicious cycle of mendicancy
Quirks: Her submissiveness can extend far beyond the usual limits. On top of this, when she's incredibly hungry and/or thirsty, she tends to exhibit delirious behavior.
History//
Micah was born into the Myrtus family, a family of well-respected magicians and Dark magicians which pride themselves in their magical research, more specifically how to harness each of the different Anima energies and try to combine them to make different forces. She has two siblings, an older brother and an older sister, both of who are Sages at this point. However, Micah was not so well-off; for she was born not with an aptitude for magic arts, but rather she was born with an intense aptitude for healing magic and to be a healer, a cleric. Of course, this disappointed her parents, and when they discovered that Micah was incapable of utilizing tomes, they got incredibly mad and frustrated at Micah. When she was old enough and deemed fit for survival on her own, Micah was disowned from the Myrtus family and forced to live on her own. Realizing that she had no more future in Solis, Micah became a wandering beggar who would either use her immense healing power in exchange for small donations or just flat out offer herself in exchange for food and water. Of course before this, Micah had stolen a highly important book of magic from her family entitled 'Lemegeton,' when the family found out they had a bounty placed on Micah's head.
Realizing the gravity of her situation, since Micah had stolen the tome to find knowledge that would help her to tap into the power she hopefully inherited from her parents and prove herself to be a rightful family member, Micah had snuck herself into a trade caravan headed towards Sidus, where she now wanders in search of a place to stay, a place she could call 'home.' She has managed to subsist on a diet of mostly bread, if she is lucky she would be able to get scraps of meat and other more substantial foods, but for the most part she has had only bread and water. Micah had offered herself to help do chores and help establishments on a part time basis but she had not resorted to offer more physical favours in exchange for food, money, or temporary lodgings.
Right now, she travels Sidus as a wandering mendicant looking for someone who would be able to take her in as a resident of their household, and she would be willing to do pretty much anything for such an opportunity to be treated as... a human being.
