Moon's picture shows more skin to show her scars, there is no "T" or "V" showing.
Name:
Moon Raven (and Rocco)
Rank:
Matchstick
Original Power:
Communicating with her spirit guide, Rocco the Pterolycus (means: Wind Warrior, which appears as a Winged Wolf). He is black in color and has the wings of a Raven and Crow. This communication required her to do deep meditation.
She could call the elements to create a circle to protect her rituals.
Power Gained After Joining The Cult:
She can fuse with Rocco, bring him into the physical plane for a limited time, and summon him at will.
She can summon lesser elementals (Sylphs, Gnomes, Salamanders, and Undines) to aid her in combat or to make a more powerful shield than her prior one. She is most adapt with Sylphs and Gnomes, as seeing her elemental alignment is Air and Earth and these are the spirits for these elementals.
Weaknesses:
She is allergic to Gluten, wheat, barely, rye, MSG, lavender, spider bites, and honey. Eating gluten can make her vomit or have a seizure. Spider bites swell and turn purple on her.
She is mildly allergic to the sun. It will burn on a burn, which bruises her, appearing as a purple-brown mass on her body. It takes a few hours for this to happen.
She has asthma and needs to carry her inhaler at all times.
She is very weak physically do to her Celiacs Disease, which is why she is allergic to Gluten. This disease causes her to slowly wither as her body fails to absorb nutrients if she eats Gluten.
The smell of iron gives her migraines. It also burns her if it pierces her skin.
eating meat, excluding fish and bugs, makes her sick.
She can only eat organic foods.
She might have Mania, which is a mental illness marked by periods of great excitement, euphoria, delusions, and over activity; almost all of which Moon displays. (though it's hard to tell if that is a spirit or a delusion one is seeing, no?)
She has insomnia and uses Mugwort as a self-medication for it.
Additional abilities/strengths:
Basic Wiccan/Witch spells like luck and breeze summoning spells. She needs to perform a ritual to do these.
she can walk on snow without thinking about it. She can walk on water too, but she needs to concentrate on it.

Physical Description Paragraph:
Moon Raven was an average sized woman when it came to height, but her body was thin and even sickly in appearance. Without a shirt on, her ribs could be seen as clear as the full moon on a clear night, so could her many, many scars. Her hair was a long, fluffy, flame red that she wore however she felt that day. Bandages covered the many scars and wounds that lined her body. On her back, between her shoulder blades, was a giant eyeball-shaped symbol, embedded there by some force unknown to most people. Despite the whip scars on her back, this symbol shined through them unhindered. Her eyes were round in shape, but not completely round. Her head was a mixture of round and square. Her facial features were soft, despite her being so thin. Her skin was a pale white that glowed purple under a dark-light. Freckles speckled her body in a light sprinkle that gave her a rather odd look. Her chest and butt where very flat. They were almost unnoticeable when compared to her jagged, boney hips and elbows. Many bruises lined her arms and legs, one of which lay on her right shin and was bruised all the way to the bone, giving in a swollen, purple, look.
Family:
Her human family consisted of a mother, a father, and a sister who were all Catholic. All three of them abused Moon Raven all the way to her adult years. They even attempted to burn her at the stake when they found out she was Pagan.
Quirks:
She talks very fast and tends to laugh for no reason at all. The laughing is do to a head injury she had gotten as a child.
She had to be an extremely good liar to survive in her home. This quirk makes her very good at keeping secrets.
Goals:
Her goal is to become one with her innermost inner self. She does this trhough meditation and pathfinding.
Interests:
The Divine, meaning any gods and goddess but the Christian one. Meditation, pathfinding, music, art, and dancing. Learning about the faiths of others and helping them on their paths.
Habits:
She tends to hum or even sing random songs.
She will start speaking in her Dream-Tongue, a langue spoken in her dream-world, if she gets too angry at others, herself, or too flustered. She will also use this tongue in her spell casting and summonings. It is very similar to a mixture of Celtic and Japanese.
Vices (drinking, smoking, yogurt):
Gluten-free-organic cricket cookies. She will eat these in bulk when she is upset.
Burning incenses to alter her state of mind. Specifically Mugwort, which is like watered down marijuana. It can cause infertility in women if smoked too much or if it is ingested too often. She is basically addicted to the stuff.
(On the plus side, Mugwort root is a tonic and boosts energy. the rest of the plant helps with stomach and intestinal conditions including colic, diarrhea, constipation, cramps, weak digestion, worm infestations, and persistent vomiting. Mugwort is also used to stimulate gastric juice and bile secretion. It is also used as a liver tonic; to promote circulation; and as a sedative. Other uses include treatment of hysteria, epilepsy, and convulsions in children. Women take mugwort for irregular periods and other menstrual problems. In combination with other ingredients, mugwort root is used for mental problems (psychoneuroses), ongoing fatigue and depression (neurasthenia), depression, preoccupation with illness (hypochondria), general irritability, restlessness, trouble sleeping (insomnia), and anxiety. Mugwort lotion applied directly to the skin relieves itchiness caused by burn scars.)
What Does Your Room Look Like:
Moon's room is filled with rocks, stones, gems, crystals, sticks, feathers, bones, skulls, and other parts of nature. She has an altar with the figurine of The Lady and The Lord on it. (The Lady and The Lord are the Goddess and the God, they can be any deity that is worshiped.) This altar also has candles with blue flames on it, a bowl of salt, a bowl of water, and an incense burner that is always burning some sort of incense. There are also seasonal flowers and the like on it. She has her wand, athame, chalice, and pentacle (one-point skywards star in a circle) on the altar as well. Her bed is made of moss and flowers. Moss lines the floor of her room. A pound is in one corner of her room. Candles line her walls and some are on her floor. Flowers hang from her ceiling and lichen is her door.
Personality:
She gets excited over the littlest of things, like movies and books she likes. She is almost always smiling, even when she is in pain. When she cries, you know that she is really hurt on a spiritual level. She can be seen talking, even arguing, with herself at times. She is deeply loyal to her friends and values them more than her own life. She has accepted death as a part of life and does not fear it; she believes the meaning of life is to die, since all things that live die. She laughs at death threats do to this. She is NOT suicidal.
She randomly sings. She laughs for no reason at all. She doesn't cry at funerals, instead she either turns to ice or feels indifferent. The only way to get her to cry at a funeral would be if one of her soul mates died (either her closest friend or, if she had a lover, they died). She can be found creating beautiful, and sometimes disturbing, works of art. She can think of stories on the fly. She can be poetic. She is a rather happy person, for being abused by her family.
What she lacks in brawns, she makes up for in wisdom and intellect. Even if she chooses not to show it. She views herself as both, yet neither, gender at all times. She is asexual, which means that she doesn't feel sexual attraction to either gender (or anything, for that matter). She views most humanoid beings, including herself, as externally ugly. This allows her to see the true beauty of others; she sees them for whom they are, not what they are. If she insults your appearance, then you know she is really insulting your soul. It is hard to get her to insult you, you must be a true racist, discriminating, incarnation of asshole-ary to get her do this.
She may not show it, but she is really protective of her friends and others. Even if she hates you, she will defend you. She believes that everyone, no matter how much she disagrees with them, deserves respect. She knows that everyone is walking their own path and they should be respected for walking that path. She is very accepting of others and their differences. She is a very approachably person. Oddly enough, she is distrusting of others, even if she doesn't show it. She is very cautious and wary of them, unless they are a friend of hers. She firmly believes in "live and let live" and "what you do comes back three times at you."
She loves hugs from her friends and loves to give them to her friends. She is protective of small children (7 and younger). She accepts that she will always be ignorant, since it is impossible to know everything. "The more I see, the less I know" (Say Hey, Michael Franti) or so to speak... Despite this, she tries to learn all that she can and utilizes what she learns as best as she can.
She is a very musical and artsy person. She will randomly brake out into dance to the music inside of her head. She is a colorful person. She is very flexible and adaptable. As one of her sayings go, "It is not the strong, the fit, nor even the smartest that survive; it is those who can adapt."
She is not a show-off; in fact, she tends to act dumber than she is, though she will use her wits to help her friends. (Life can be more fun that way.) She is not over-dramatic, unless she is very hyped or worked-up. She is very good at hiding how she really feels or thinks, since she had to do this to survive her family for so long. She can be mysterious, but this is more do to the fact that others normally have a hard time understand what is going on inside of her head.
She views the Cult as her true family and this makes her loyal to them before all others. Even if she doesn't always get along with them, she will support them when they need her. She is willing to learn from them.

What Do You Consider Your Position In The Cult:
"It is that position that is my position, you know?"
What Do You Do For The Group:
Moon can send them luck and create shields when they need it. She can also fuse with Rocco to give further aid with his powers.
How You Joined The Cult:
Moon's family found out that she didn't believe in the Catholic God and practiced magic. They opted to burn her at the stake for it. She managed to escape from the burning flames. As she was running away, she found a candle shop and decided to hide inside of it. It was here, covered in her burns, that the cult found her. After she recovered, they tested her knowledge of them and decided to keep her.
On Rocco:
"Let me take it from here." The regal black Pterolycus spoke with his stern voice. "My name is Rocco (Rock-o with a Spanish R). I am a spirit guide. I guide Moon Raven on her spirit journey as she quests to find herself. I have all the abilities of a flying wolf. I can also control the wind to create large gusts that can rip a roof off of a house. Well Moon cannot use all of my powers, she is learning to become more in tuned with both me and herself."
He walks past you, his height towering over you. He holds himself with great grace and dignity. "My wings are that of both the Crow's and Raven's. My body is that of a wolf. My spirit meaning is as follows:
The power of the wolf brings forth instinct, intelligence, appetite for freedom, and awareness of the importance of social connections. This animal can also symbolize fear of being threatened and lack of trust.
The power of the Crow as a totem and spirit guide is to provide insight and means of supporting intentions. Sign of luck, it is also associated with the archetype of the trickster; be aware of deceiving appearances. If the crow has chosen you as your spirit or totem animal, it supports you in developing the power of sight, transformation, and connection with life’s magic.
The of the Raven as a totem animal means you are very playful and creative. You have no fear of the dark, or the underworld and understand that there is a divine balance between the light and the dark. You find comfort in solitude and enjoy your own company. Raven seeks stillness and quiet, and prefer it to the constant onslaught of chatter and noise in our daily lives. You are wise and often are used as a messenger for others. The spirit world uses you as a bridge to the physical world to bring forth its messages."
He turns to you and says, "In other words, I am a symbol of all that Moon Raven is and can be. I am a reflection of her truest most inner-self."
