First and last name- Liri Shimmerbud

Gender- Female

Appearance- A short, stocky build. Has wavy, medium length light purple (often described as lavender) hair. Wears a thin silver chain necklace with a heart in the center, stars around it, and crescent moons near the clasp. (Heart for fairies and compassion, stars for star weavers/Asha, crescents for Exiles. Silver bc Asha's highlights). Hair is not naturally lavender, actually a beautiful strawberry blonde but dyed as subtle rebellion. Wears natural colored clothing with the occasional purples and blues. Eyes are a beautiful glistening topaz color (a kind of brown; you can look it up). She wears small silver heart stud earrings paired with a silver bangle on her wrist that says Nothing is impossible, a gift from her brief time in the Under World. Her skin is slightly tanned, a result of her time in the sun.

Age- 12, almost 13

Species- Fairy

Personality- She has two sides of her; the one she shows the world, and the one she actually is. The one she shows the world is the one that most fairies put out, compassionate and rule following and good at most things she tries. The side she actually is is a rebellious rule breaker, because she believes in the freedom of people and animals, regardless of what they look like. She sees herself as rebellious, and everyone who knows the real her thinks that too. The traits that carry over are her compassion and sweetness, though sometimes that changes in certain situations (such as her animal, exile, and star weaver friends being threatened). She is often too trusting and naive for her own good, seeing the good side of almost everyone. She's surprisingly brave but doesn't see herself that way much. She's also quite curious and creative, finding some peculiar ways out of tough situations. When she gets her mind set on something, it's hard to draw her away.

Family/background info- Has very strict parents, who impose lots of rules on her. She had a twin brother, named Nimbus, but he's very stiff. He used to be like her, but over the years he caved to the constructs of their society and that part of him is now hidden deep inside him. (If it works, she has a deep, almost sister-like relationship with Asha Gazer). She also found many adopted sisters in the Under World that she loves dearly. She has sensory issues with the texture and fit of her clothes.

Likes- The night sky, with its stars and moon. She loves nature and animals, and enjoys sneaking out to meet Asha and attempt to get into the Under World despite the warnings and rumors surrounding it. She loves Asha and the Exiles more than her own family. She also enjoys working with her magic, which specializes in animals and nature.

Dislikes- Floods and fire, rules that restrict natural freedom (like not going out of territory, especially not to the Under World). She hates too loose or too tight clothing and rough textured fabric. She also hates people belittling Exiled and Star weavers. She dislikes the people who enforce the strict rules, even indirectly.

Hobbies- Sneaking around and out to meet Asha, trying to get into difficult places (like the Under World), practicing magic, and tending to her animal friends.

What makes her unique- She's one of the few rebellious fairies, even though she isn't openly. She also has unnatural skill in sneaking around quietly without being seen (much like the rangers in Rangers Apprentice by John Flanagan). **

Other notes- If the creator of Asha Gazer allows it, I'd like Liri to be one of the fairies Asha sneaks out to see. (Added note) Liri is part of a friend group with another fairy, Ava Baudelaire (from a different creator) and some more ocs.

** This skill can be replaced by being a blender, a skill some fairies have that allows them to merge their skin with the colors around them if they can see their surroundings. This is an idea I had, you don't need to put it in.
