Mandatory:
Character Name: Aisling
Source: OC; Spirits

Optional:
Age: 18
Personality: - Cripplingly nervous around people, as she hasn't had much contact with them.
- Is actually very sweet and caring! But has a hard time expressing it outwardly because. Shy.
- HATES EVERYTHING SHE IS it's terrible she's terrible she deserves to diiiieeee
History: - Basilisk child born to a single mother, also a basilisk
- Mother had accidentally killed her husband by looking into his eyes. Was understandably very depressed for a long time!
- Eventually realized "wtf am i doing" and started taking better care of Aisling.
- They lived in isolation and could only buy from traveling merchants or far-away towns because the nearest village hated their guts :V So she taught Aisling to hunt and fend for herself from a very early age, just in case. Stockpiled every source of entertainment they could get their hands on-- old radio, books, artwork. Everything. Her biggest rule was "Don't make eye contact."
- When Aisling was about 11, she was kidnapped by a group of the local villagers and tied up out in the forest for days, beaten and starved until her mother finally found her.
- MOTHER FUCKED SHIT UP. She killed three of the villagers immediately before they brought her down, poisoned another four in her struggles, and was similarly tied up.
- exceeeept they didn't torture her for days. They gagged her so she couldn't bite, ruined her eyes so she couldn't kill them with her sight, beat her with branches and stones and bricks until she lost consciousness-- by the time she died, the villagers had long gone, leaving her and her child for dead.
- Aisling managed to squirm out of her bindings and untied her mother, sitting by her battered and broken body until it got dark, where she slept fitfully next to it instead(and chased away what little predators tried to pick at her flesh).
- In the morning Aisling dragged her mother's body back to their little cottage and dug her grave with her bare hands.
- She never encountered the villagers after that, assuming that they had thought she had died and likely believed the land cursed. She did nothing to refute or defend this claim, keeping so isolated that she never spoke to travelers at all.
Abilities: - Still a young basilisk! So her eyes will only petrify/paralyze someone, not kill them. If she reaaally concentrates she can probably create a death-like state, but not real death.
- She's venemous!
- She detects things by vibration when she's blindfolded.

To note, she is also ALWAYS wearing a blindfold, unless otherwise stated.
