EDIT:
edit1: changed some things that not really affect the bio.

edit2: and she knows a little about mana molding now

edit3 (Major: 22 July 2012): changed the app pic, kinda like a lvl up I guess XDD, and my drawing/coloring skills improved TTuTT she looks like she has grown up.... updated/edited stuff in the app since obviously some things happened ever since I last edited anything in here.

edit 4: updated history

edit 5: (22 May 2014) updated app image and history
Yeah I know it's near the end now but you know, old app image is old and she grew up even more. Plus I wanted to finish SoC's last few missions with Mavis wearing a scarf of buttkicking and that's her birthscarf too. In her age in Rijibarian culture she's technically slapping the fact that she's currently eligible for marriage in your face with that scarf. If that doesn't give you any ideas. *stares at person, you know who you are* BD

edit 6: (17 Jan 2016) Updated app picture, but the design is still the same from the previous app. Also revised some of her bio with correct terms, like her race and some things in her history

Name: Mavis Knaak
Gender: female
Race: Contractor (Original race: Rijibarian, a race of 'vegetarian' demons that can eat a lot of food. Most of the food they eat gets converted into mana and stored in huge amounts in their bodies for use in case of a food shortage/ but In Mavis' case she uses her mana supply for her mana molding)
Age: 23 (19 on her original 2011 app, wow time sure flies)
Birthday: 5th Nov
Height :160 cm (5'3")
Weight:49kg
Faction: Ares
Army position : Arean solider, Specter
Job :part-time odd job worker, mainly delivering things everywhere. Also a mercenary for hire and guild member of Aran Tribe

Weapon : Ira, fav.me/d4pp4zh a rune sword that contains the spirit of a master swordsman, who fallen during the War of the Gods. He's able to talk even though he's in sword form. Is always with Mavis where ever she goes. She found it during her training journey.

Abilities :
Fails at most types of magic and relies mostly on physical combat. She is skilled with the sword, been trained to use a sword since she was a kid because her parents used to run a small swordsman school.

-Berserk spell: When used, greatly increases strength and endurance/stamina (currently, at maximum she can smash through building walls) by shutting off most emotions except anger. But the more she uses it to increase strength, the more she becomes a mindless puppet that just moves on impulse and wants to smash everything. Good thing Ira is there as the puppet master, he orders her on what and what not to smash. This is how she still manages to fight normally in a battle while being berserk. Without his lead during a berserk state, she would slice at empty air and not know it or overuse the spell to the extent that it starts ripping the muscles in her body apart from all the stress to them before collapsing.

-Mana Molding For now an elite mana molder after the training she got with Ira, she can use mana to make a number of stable temporary solid / intangible items such as crystals, strings, chains, nets, spikes, glowing orbs of light for use as a make shift torch, bandages etc. She can make large and explosive objects, even camouflage them as the real thing but not detailed like Ira who is a master at the craft yet.

The more mana she uses for an item the more solid it becomes and harder to break. She cannot make too many items at once because when the items stay in a materialized state, it stores the mana used to make it in its current physical form. So eventually, her mana supply will be dried up if she maintains a number of items in its solid form. But when the item dematerializes, the mana used to make it returns to her.

She could also use it in her attacks to slightly increases it's power, charging mana up into her weapon and unleashing it in one strike creating an explosion upon impact with an object, the longer she charges it, the stronger the explosion. She still will get hurt by it if she uses it at very close range and the mana use in the attack is lost and can't be immediately restored unlike the mana she uses for molding items.

History: (updated)
Mavis lived a normal childhood with her parents and grandparents with other people like her in a village in the Amahara Gardens. The hybrid demons and humans lived together rather okay with no problems next to each others villages for many generations since the end of the war of the gods, but things started to change about the time she was 13. Her parents died among others in an accident in the village. When she turned 14, the war started again and the land was full of fights and riots. Soon most of the humans in the village started to fear if the hybrid inhabitants would attack and rebel against them as well because they think the hybrids have a tendency to get into fights as of recent. In the end, they forced the hybrids out even after the hybrids tried reasoning with them. Mavis's family and others like them decided not to cause further trouble and moved to Kriva-Harbor in Ares' territory to avoid any similar problems. Although she got used to her new home, she didn't like the fact her kind were forced out of their home by the very people who lived with them for so many years and without any real reason, but she couldn't do anything because she's wouldn't last long on the battlefield when facing powerful opponents, so she went on a journey to train herself to become stronger. During her training, she found and made a pact with a spirit sword and gained some new abilities because of it. After learning to have some control over the sword, she joined Ares' army to see if she can go back to her village and make things change.

Events gained though rp:: Mavis got to know and became closer to Ira after he had regained his ability to materialize himself into a humanoid suit of armor. Ever since then, she and Ira went adventuring and training all over Zion, normally she gets dragged by him to places that she rather not go to, but the both of them usually end up having a good time running from the dangers they encountered. Facing battles with giant monsters alongside friends, tons of shenanigans and the war still going on, all seemed to be going as always till a fight with an elder thunder lizard made Mavis aware that Ira was a was pretty much an unstable existence that would disappear for real at any time, "Ira is a dead person, his existence should have disappeared a long time ago." That fact alone bothered Mavis 24/7. Though, still going on adventures together and being side by side, the appearance of the fraction called the Order and Mavis becoming a member of Specter, Ira had been more distant about his doings and that adds to Mavis' paranoia about him disappearing without a word one day. Mavis still decides to stay quiet about it while doing research on the topic on her own. Not long after, she did notice a few people with ties to the Contractors turning up, either directly or in the shadows, whether they be future allies or enemies or both, is still not known to her.

Some time later, it would been made clear that Ira's silence about his doings for the past months were due to him reforming connections with the other two Contractor guilds. It was also during this time, that Mavis was told that her search of trying to find a way to save Ira was for futile as what was keeping Ira alive was the mana that made up his Contract. And as this mana was unique to everyone it can't be restored.

As of recent all three guild masters Ira, Jalen and Alfgard have decided that Contractors should rebuild and fix ties strained during their stay in the moon prison after so long. With this moment, she and Ira had rebuild the Aran Tribe Guild House and moved in with some people who were related to Ira's past friends to maintain it. Mavis read a lot about the Contractors and their culture and organization, on all the information that Ira had missed out in his explanations. For a time all was good, nothing seemed to be out of order, that is....till the attack on Necropolis happened.

During the battle she was surrounded by Caelians, exhausted and fatigued. But while Mavis didn't have the energy to fight them one on one she had one last trick, the past two years of needing to hastily repair what Ira had broke around the town had packed it up with her mana in a lot of objects and mana when handled in a certain way was highly explosive. She detonated the entire chunk of city around her, bringing down the surrounding Caelians with the blast and rubble. Being in the center of the explosion did have it's side effects even if it was made out of her mana, the impact from the blast knocked her unconscious for a good while. When she woke up again, she was lying face down in the destruction she caused. It was in this brief moment that she noticed someone who looked like a scavenger take her sword, of course she couldn't just let him take it. She wanted to stand up but she couldn't even push herself up, that last attack got the better of her, she was completely wasted. Mustering all the strength she had left, she grabbed for the man's robe which caught his attention. She explained that she was still alive and that he should give her sword back to her. This man however had other plans, he inquired if she knew anything about a certain relic, a Contract Relic. The words he used froze Mavis in a brief moment of thought before she quickly denied that she knew anything about it because she knew what it was and how important that thing was. But apparently, he wasn't going to take no for an answer, so he kept the sword and placed a curse on her, the curse was that she couldn't tell anyone about this incident and she can't talk to Ira at all or else her sword will be destroyed, it will be instant the moment she goes against the curse for as long as it was in effect. The man broke her arm to officially seal the deal before leaving, stating that he will send her a letter when the time comes and she will need to give him the right answer.

Since that day, Mavis had been restless, she was being blackmailed and she couldn't tell anyone about it, but what picked at her the most was not being able to talk to Ira at all. She resorted to doing guild missions day in and day out just to keep her mind of things, but it wasn't really working, her mind kept lingering on the fact that she could be so much at a lost to do at a time like this. At times she didn't even go out to do missions, she just stayed in her room and punch the granite out of the walls. It was during one of these times that Emiris had knocked on her door, with him a letter with a seal on it, looking at it she immediately knew what it was. It was time and she knew it, she should leave, she didn't know for how long but she needed to leave right now. Before leaving for real she left her collection book to Emiris and her ring to Traize, while she had other meanings behind her actions, she actually did it too to put her mind at ease even just a little, knowing that she would need to come back and retrieve them no matter what happens. And so she disappeared into the forest in Dragon Hallow, fighting off bears and uprooting trees as she continued on her trip to the place written on the letter she had gotten. She did taken into account all the possibilities, but she had to meet that man, and since she was fully recovered she could try and fight him for it if the need arises.

The morning the day after the encounter, it was obvious that it had turned out grim, the man managed to knock Mavis unconscious though forms of trickery and locked her her up his group's hideout. There she learned that they were people who hunted Contractors,the Necromancer's cult. She she didn't know how long was she down there, but it would be a month or so before her friends came to find the truth and rescued her. The experience she had gotten from being in the hands of the Necromancer's cult had a rather heavy toll on her mentally, she gets nightmares and hallucinations of them ever since her rescue. Though despite being paranoid, Mavis gets her life back to the way it's supposed to be, this time with the help of her family.

Personality:
Mavis is a calm and independent person; if you know her better she's also hot tempered and childish at times. Mavis tends to be quiet around new people unless she has a reason to talk to them so she might appear cold at first; but when she wants be friends, she's quite friendly and jokingly violent. She's curious about a lot of things and can be awkward in some social situations she's not used to. She respects most of her higher-ups and tries to finish the missions that were assigned to her. When off the battlefield, she enjoys exploring, gardening and training. She also fights if she is offered a sparring match but she doesn't like to get into a real fight with allies and good friends. But on the battlefield, she's often downright merciless towards her opponents because she has totally no self-control when she uses her berserk spell, something she normally does when on missions. While usually calm, she doesn't take insults towards her family or her kind too well and will most likely lose her temper, at worst she will overreact and beat the living daylight out of you. Since she spent her childhood in the Amahara Gardens she is very fond of flowers.

Likes:
Food or when people give her food
Ira
Research/ exploring
Gardening and flowers
Deamond and the generals
Open-minded people
The night sky

Dislikes:
People who thinks all demons are evil
REAL exorcisms and holy magic and holy healing magic (it doesn't kill her, it burns, and as for the holy healing magic it does the opposite than heal|D)
Losing Ira *his sword and the actual person counts as the same thing to her*
Getting her flower collection journal missing

Random facts :
.The main reason her demon kind don't just barge back right in to the area is because that the villagers hid magic seals all over Amahara gardens that have weird side effects (keep tripping for no reason, ( actually, it messes with the balancing your inner ear is supposed to maintain ) on them if they step into the area.

.Her type of demon is the type that needs to and will eat A LOT to keep from getting hungry *Will not refrain from taking tons food if you bring her to an all you can eat party*

.Mavis keeps getting bossed around and teased by her Contractor stuck in a sword, Ira, but never the less she thinks of him as the person she is closest to.

. Mavis was never really a full out offensive warrior type. Though she doesn't mind if any other unexpected events pop up along the way, she would prefer to lurk, collect information first and then take out the enemy with as much force needed. But since Ira was her trainer, decided do stick to an offensive style by rushing into battle and bash people in the head like a berserker would. After joining Specter and Ira letting her to go their missions on her own, did she start using her preferred style of fighting.
