Character
Name: Adelle Ein
Canon: Bravely Default II

Familiar
Name: Edea
Species: Wiki-Wiki
Why did you pick this familiar for your character?: My first thought was a dragon, since Bravely Default II has a couple talking dragons, and one is tiny. However, that was full... and that ended up being a blessing, since it gave me the idea to do a Wiki-Wiki! This is a round, flightless bird with googly eyes.

It's the Metal Slime of BD2 -- loads of XP, money, and Job Points, but they're super hard to hurt and run away a lot.

The name, as it happens, is one Adelle picked "at random." OOCly, that's a Bravely Default I character that has a similar party role to Adelle, and it was basically just a funny little reference.
Special features: LOOK HOW STUPID IT LOOKS. I love it more than anything.
How do they communicate?: Poorly. Mostly in dreams and occasional empathic flashes of what it wants her to do and remember. Sometimes, Edea runs away from Adelle instead of doing other things.
Personality: Honestly, I go for "weird" and "inscrutable," and what sounds fun in the moment; I kind of don't know her personality, and that's part of the fun of writing the familiar.
Relationship with your character: There's some friction. Adelle doesn't understand them so well. Something to play with!

Visuals:


Worth sharing twice.

Magic
Magic Types: Kinetic and Light
Why did you pick these types for your character?: I wanted Adelle to be able to fly. Also, the Monk ability "Pressure Point" was my workhorse for like half the game; I had Adelle do a similar thing with firing kinetic blasts.

Light was on a whim, mostly; I liked the idea of Adelle eventually doing barriers and illusions. Also so she can sparkle in an oh-so-lovely way.
How does your character cast their magic? It's not terribly flashy; she does a lot of hand motions. Sometimes, feet motions for flying. She does tend to produce a lot of light.
How does your character feel about their magic?: Adelle loves it. Flying is fun for gher.

What magic and familiar would your character choose for themselves?: Adelle might have swapped Light for Elemental.
Anything else?: Not today!
