Synopsis:
Farris is an alchemist that is blessed with restorative fire, but plagued with amnesia and absolutely no knowledge of her past beyond a certain point. She seeks a lost sister that has gone down a dark path and wishes to bring her back along the path of righteousness. Though she is very kind, this has led to numerous bad situations that she has had to fix and face the consequences of her actions.

Name: Farris Bloomville

Age: 19

Notable Features: Chestnut brown hair, violet eyes, has a variety of alchemical devices on her person.

Backstory:
She had no idea who she was, where she came from, or why she was there, all she knew was that one day she awoke in a misty forest with no recollection of how she got there. What happened? Did she do something wrong to end up there? All she could feel was a warm feeling in her chest.

Luckily for her, shortly after her awakening, a girl that appeared to be only a few years older than her approached her. She introduced herself as Priscilla Farris Bloomville, an alchemist who lived nearby and had come to look for supplies. She was just as confused as the girl laid before her, all she could do was help her up, and offer her shelter.

What was her name, though?
The girl couldn't even remember her name... What could she do?
Priscilla had an idea, she'd give her a name! Not just any name, her middle name. She would give it to this stranger she was helping.

...Farris... she liked it. The girl accepted the offer, and went to the strangers home, now with a name, and a place to stay.

Years passed, and just as she learned the ways of alchemy, so too did she bond with Priscilla, who became like a dear sister to her. An older sister who would look out for her no matter what happened. Though, as time went on, something seemed wrong with her...she seemed distant, obsessed to prove something to her family, even if the cost was dire.

On the day of her alchemy exam, Farris passed and became a full fledged alchemist, she awaited at home for her sister so they could celebrate.... yet, when she returned, there was no merriment. Priscilla had failed the exam.
What had happened!? She was sure to have passed, but...

Priscilla had ideals, ways of doing things that were different from how the other alchemists thought. She tried to apply them to her exam, but was booed out and failed. She had these kind of feelings for a long time, though this was the final straw. She was going to prove them wrong. She would make a Philsopher's Stone. An item all alchemists hope to create. Many had come close to making one, but each one made had a fatal flaw. Would this stop her? No it wouldn't. The items to make one were hard to come by, but she could substitute them with all sorts of other ingredients... mostly ones from people.

Farris couldn't believe what she was hearing, she tried to convince her dear sister otherwise, but would Priscilla listen? No, she was entirely convinced this was the way to do things. She even offered her sister to come with her.

But no, she couldn't accept. She adamantly refused. Farris wanted to stop her, speak out, knock some sense into her, but her body would not obey, how could she attack her sister? The person who saved her life and even offered part of her very name to her.
Before she knew it, Priscilla was gone. Off to do this mad quest

...
Not a week later, news had spread.
Of an alchemist named Priscilla Bloomville who had murdered no less than 15 people, apparently, she was hung for her crimes and murdered.

But Farris knew better, she knew that it was just a ruse to get people off her trail. She was still out there.
And who could stop her? ...If anyone else went to go after her, they would kill her. No, she knew that Priscilla still had good in her, she would have to find her, try to put her back on the right path, and if she doesn't listen, force her to. ... this would take a long time, and take a lot of skill. Farris spent the next two years training, inventing special objects, and preparing herself mentally to face her sister.

Now at age 19, she has finally left in pursuit of her lost sibling, and she will do anything to get her back, physically and mentally.

Powers:
Farris has access to fire, however, her fire is different than most, it has the properties of a phoenix, and can hurt, as well as heal.
Farris is inexperienced with the fire, and prefers to use it for healing, but knows a few applications for it outside of first aid.
It is also purple.


Farris also is a certified Alchemist, she is a creative mind, and can transmute objects into ones of equal or lesser value, and invent new gadgets, should they work.
She is also experienced in the potion crafting part of alchemy.

Personality:

Farris is kind, caring, and sweet. However, her willingness to go out of the way to help people no matter what has led to bad situations, such as the incident with Priscilla. However, when she puts her mind to something, she will stop at nothing to see it to it's conclusion.

Though she is prone to inaction, afraid that her actions may not help, or make things worse in the long run, and when something happens that is her fault, it weighs heavily upon her heart.

Alchemical Inventions:
Being an Alchemist, Farris has invented a few objects to assist her on her journey.

Truesilver Chain
A small device mounted on her right hand that shoots forth a chain that can wrap around objects, she can proceed to pull it towards her, her towards it, or use it to restrain enemies.
Though it has a large amount of length, it does have it's limits

Alchemy Nullifier
A disc-like object used to nullify transmutations or other types of alchemy in a field for a short amount of time, carries up to three charges

Transmutation Tracker:
A stone infused with alchemy that glows when near sites that have had transmutations recently, is set to find sites of large transmutations, used mostly to find trails left by Priscilla


Other Notes:
Her fire is tinted purple.
Loves musicals and singing, but cannot sing very well
Loves rabbits
Plans to make a "Magnum Opus", something all Alchemists hope to make (Aside from Philsopher's Stone, most Alchemists attempt to make the Philsopher's Stone their Magnum Opus), after she has taken Priscilla home.
Hopes to make a business of helping people with alchemy one day.
Second in my series of character profiles, this one's a bit shorter, but is no less important, it's for the protagonist of another story coming later, Farris! I hope you like her, me and :iconthesweetesttart: have been working hard on her and Priscilla. I think you'll like what we got.

Farris belongs to :iconjutsei:. ...Me.
Priscilla belongs to :iconthesweetesttart:
