Description
EDIT: Added new details, views and expressions. Also made it bigger for some reasonName: Winter
Gender: Female
Age: N/A (physical age of 24-28)
Race: Tier 3 Homunculus
Nationality: Japanese
Height: 5’4
Weight: 76lbs
Personality: Winter has a very cold and distrustful nature, being nearly always suspicious of anyone she's never met and never trusting anyone unless she gets to know them more personally. After warming up to someone, however, Winter can be far more friendly and sometimes even childish or shy and once she grows to trust someone she will become very protective and loyal. She takes things very seriously and will refuse to give up unless given a good reason to. Winter prefers to settle things without violence but when given no other choice, she won’t hesitate to throw herself into battle and will thus attempt to end is as quickly as possible. She is usually polite, if a little bit stoic, and hardly ever curses, and especially never uses phrases like ‘hell’, ‘good heavens’ or ‘holy sh*t’. She flatly refuses to kill anyone, even if they deserve it as she sees all kinds of life as precious. Winter also doesn’t like being called anything other than ‘Winter’ and will get annoyed if anyone does so.
Abilities:
Cryomancy; Winter is able to use any nearby water (including the water in the air) to form and manipulate ice in various ways, often creating makeshift weapons or barriers or making other creative uses of her powers.
Enhancements; while not strictly super strong or super-fast, Winter is at least physically stronger than an average human and can take a great deal more damage than them but is not indestructible (that is to say she can survive a bullet through the chest but not a bullet through the brain). She also has incredible acrobatic skills and reflexes and near perfect balance.
Healing: Winter also possesses powerful healing abilities that, while not instant, are fast acting and can recover serious injuries given enough time, including re-growing limbs (however this takes far longer than normal and will not work if the wound is cauterized, because of this Winter will flatly refuse to let anyone else treat her injuries)
Fighting style: Winter never starts a fight at full power so to speak, she will refrain from using her abilities and just use one or both of her two swords to fight her opponent. If, however, her opponent proves too much Winter will resort to using her cryomancy powers. If she’s disarmed or the need arises, Winter will use her abilities to create an entirely new weapon than might give her an advantage over her opponent. Winter uses brain over brawn when fighting style and spends some time on the defensive and examining her opponent’s movements and fighting whilst refraining from giving away too much herself to try and gain an advantage over them. Once she thinks she has seen everything she needs to she will begin fighting at full strength and attempt to overwhelm her enemy. Winter isn’t as skilled in any other weapon so much as her own swords, but she knows enough about most light weight, close range combat weapons to know how to use them or counter them if she needs to.
Weaknesses: Winter is a homunculus and, as such, can easily be harmed by anyone with enough knowledge of Alchemy and how it works; certain alchemical elements for example can damage her far more effectively than just a regular metal. Magic does much of the same; even something like healing magic will end up damaging Winter as it interferes with the alchemic bonds that hold her body together. Fire can easily damage her but she’s by no means afraid of it. Heat and dry areas have a significant impact on her as it makes it harder to use her abilities and can tire her out very quickly. She has a small built and is very light, making it easy for her to be knocked off her feet by a strong enough force.
Likes:
Being alone to think
Defending others
Defeating anyone she sees as being in the wrong
Tall places
Dislikes:
Interruptions
People who fight with no reason
Psychotics
Scythes
Crowded or hot places
Weapons: Winter’s swords are also type of homunculus known as a golem, an inanimate object with a soul placed inside by alchemy, however their soul is very weak and so it has no real mind of its own and merely serves to greatly enhance Winter’s abilities when she’s holding them.
Other: Winter’s skin will crack upon taking damage. When using her abilities, a faint blue mist can be seen rising from Winter’s arms. When in public, Winter will often wear sunglasses and a hoodie to cover her eyes, hair and ears during daytime as she’d rather not draw attention to herself.
Bio: Winter is a Tier 3* homunculus, currently residing at the ‘Prometheus Project’ located on the East Coast of Japan. She was created roughly 15 years ago by an alchemist called Maiya Akuzara who had been hired by the PP to help them with their research into alchemy. Winter’s creator was killed shortly after her creation and she has been living at the PP site ever since, agreeing to help them defend their county in exchange for shelter and privacy. She has since befriended the other homunculi living there and has even begun to raise a family. However, frequent attacks and other occurrences from rogue homunculi or similar enemies have thrown a wrench in what would otherwise be a quiet life. Winter wishes to remain ‘under the radar’ so to speak and gets very annoyed when people try and interfere with her life.
*Homunculus are divided into levels called ‘Tiers’ which go from 1-6, 1 being the weakest and 6 being the strongest. Any homunculi above Tier 1 have their own personalities and powers depending on their level, in this case tier 3 powers are often mid-level alchemic abilities, often elemental (eg, chronomancy, pyromancy etc.) though there are exceptions.

Don't worry, I never actually showed where she keeps it in the audition (my bad)
She keeps it on a string attatched to the end of one of her swords
