Hey, everyone! It's been a while since my last post, I know (I'm terrible with consistency, really. The fact that it's senior year doesn't help either.) but I have now returned, just in time for another last minute entry into storitorigrace's Art of Characters Link-up! *cue cheering* This month, the focus is best friends -- that one person (or more than one person -- depends on your view) that your MC just can't imagine not having around. Since I couldn't do all three other member of Kali's team, because that just wouldn't work, I chose to focus this post on Ionna Kynnoch. *shines spotlight* Here we go!
 |
| Here we have a rough sketch of Io; this also happens to be the first character pic I have ever actually drawn. XD |
 |
| Io's eyes are a pale, icy lilac -- rather like this. |
 |
| As such, her energy is also that color. This is kind of close. :) |
1.) What does your character's eye, skin, and hair color tell about him/her?
Ionna's eyes are a pale lilac, with a few variant purple shades. This marks the color of her energy. Her skin is pale and clear, and her hair is a pale, nearly platinum blonde. This hearkens back to her heritage, but doesn't necessarily make any extreme statements about her. Also, did I mention she is rather beautiful?
2.) What does your character's hairstyle tell about him/her?
Io's normal hairstyle is a sleek, high ponytail. Now, a ponytail is quite businesslike, but also is rather peppy and bouncy. This pretty much sums up Io. Even when she's serious she still has a light-hearted nature.
3.) What does your character's default outfit tell about him/her?
Like Kali, Io's standard outfit is the Academy uniform. This reveals that she too is a Trainee, and as such works under the Lacaedonian government.

4.) Does he/she have an object(s) he/she carries around a lot?
Well, she has her wristcomm, which is always on her. Hers is a pretty piece that resembles wrought silver with what appears to be a pale purple stone acting as the activation button.

5.) Does he/she have any particular scars or birthmarks?
You know what? She actually does. Her skin is completely flawless, save for a small birthmark on her lower right back. It's shaped like a star (not the five-point type, but the more realistic glimmery type, if that makes sense.) So it's still pretty. :P

6.) Does he/she have any piercings or tattoos?
Her ears are pierced, both in the earlobe and in the cartilage. She wears small, inconspicuous studs in each during normal operations, but when she's not in school or on assignment she will change them to flashier and/or prettier pieces. Also, she has a very subtle tattoo; a lilac outline around her birthmark. (notice a theme starting here? :P )
7.) How does he/she carry themselves? Shoulders back? Eye contact? Eyes down? Slumped shoulders?
Io carries herself with her shoulders back, a smile on her face, and a spring in her step. She's quite enthusiastic, and just generally a fun person to be around.

8.) What is his/her default expression? Smiling? Frowning? Solemn?
Her default is definitely smiling. It's really, really hard to find Io down or having a bad day -- even if she is, she'll smile through it -- but she's generally happy. As such, her face reflects it. ^ ^ (It's really nice to have at least one character who /doesn't/ take everything completely seriously).
9.) Does he/she wear make-up or face paint?
Yes. she usually wears subtle makeup on a regular basis, but when it comes to formal events or even a day off, she gets all dolled up with great enthusiasm.

10.) Does his/her physical appearance change at any time? For example: If they have a power do their eyes glow or hair turn blue?
Oh, sure. Her eyes glow marginally when she uses her power, as usual. (I know, I know, that's one of the things mentioned in the question -- I can't help it that it actually happens! XD )

Bonus: After meeting the main character did the best friend change his/her appearance?
Yes, but not necessarily because of the main character. Io has always a sense of style, and so as she matured her look changed, eventually winding up in the sleek, bouncy style she has currently.
