HOM | Echo and Calypso

Name: Echo Meredith Travers

Nickname(s):  "E", EMT (as in paramedics)

Gender: Female

Age: 14

Birthday: September 12

House: Giants

Rank: Doctor

Level: 2

Personality: Compassionate | Hard-working | Quiet | Naive | Emotional | Rash

Compassionate 

- Echo is very caring and kind to everyone around her. She can't stand to see someone in pain or agony, she'd much rather have the opportunity to end the suffering herself. 

Hard-working

- When starting a project or healing a patient, she will stop at nothing to get the job done. She doesn't turn away at the possibility of a dead end, she will work through it. Her house expects nothing more. 

Quiet

- She doesn't prefer to talk much, and is somewhat of an introvert when not treating patients. She'd much rather listen to the sound of nature than actual people.

Naive

-Everybody is good, until she actually sees their bad side. Also, she's not very good at handling dirty jokes - she usually turns bright red, kind of like a Christmas light. Really fun to fluster. 

Emotional

- Often, if she can't save her patient, she will let emotions cloud her view. That's why she's trying (and struggling) to learn to be unemotional in her line of work. One misstep, and it may cost her a life. 

Rash

- She often makes up her mind on a split second, and she will often come up with the wackiest plans to get what she wants. Of course, they fail and she ends up in a lot of trouble. Like always.

- Nice people

- Animals

- Nature in general 

- Dogs

- Fuzzy blankets

- failing on the job, not being able to save somebody, etc. 

- violent people

Backstory 

As a kid, Echo would often play in the glen near her father's small cottage in Meanville. Her mother had died giving birth to her, so she never really felt the need for a mother in her life. She and her father lived a peaceful life, often playing on the riverbank. She and her father liked making little lanterns Echo liked to call "glowing hearts" , as they often flickered as they floated away, giving the impression of a heartbeat. 

The glen near her home often was a home away from home, as she would often flee there if something bothered her. It gave her time to think, without pressure from anybody in the human world. She felt safe; this little paradise in the middle of a changing world brought her peace and would often do so as she grew older. 

When she was 10, her father introduced her to his "lady friend", a Ms. Flavia Simms. Unusually perceptive for her age, Echo could already tell that her father was smitten with the lady and there were going to be a chapel in the future for those two. 

Unlike most her age, she was mature about the whole thing, and had no trouble accepting Flavia into the family. Less than a few months later, Gerald Travers and Flavia Simms were married and expecting their first child together. Echo was quite excited, but to dampen her spirits, Flavia had persuaded Gerald to stop Echo from visiting the glen by herself. "It's too dangerous," Flavia would croon, "A little girl like you would get swallowed up in that forest!  

Her father didn't agree to the idea at first, but when the new baby Percival was born, he solemnly agreed, his heart splitting as he saw the look on Echo's face. He tried to reason with her, but she refused to hear any of it. She stormed, stomping all the way to her room, and around midnight, she snuck out of the house with nothing more than a small vial that was her mother's, a lantern,and a sandwich bag. Not wanting to worry her parents, she left a note that said," Don't worry about me, dad. I'll be fine. Live your life with your new family, you don't need me anyways. Love, forever and always, Echo. "

When she reached the glen, she was surprised to find a sprig of holly in the place where she usually sat, as she kept it clean very often. Picking it up very gently to throw away, she was surprised when she heard a voice out of nowhere.

"Stop right there! No one's gonna rain on my parade. I've waited for a long time to be discovered, and I won't wait any longer! You are meant to be my host; please say yes!!"

Echo agreed in her excitement, as she had often heard tales of fairies wandering in the glens. Perhaps maybe that fairy wanted to play with just her! Not her father, her new stepmom, or even her baby brother! Her, Echo Meredith Travers! As she agreed, a nymph-like spirit rose out of the holly. The spirit explained everything to Echo, and that there were more like her, near the forest. Boy, was she amazed when she found out that more people like her were living just on the other side!

It's been two years since she joined the House of Giants, and Echo couldn't be happier. She's found a tiny niche, a safe haven, if you will, where she can just be.

SPIRIT

Name: Calypso

Gender Female

Elemental Ability: Plant manipulation

- Calypso can call plants to grow and attack people, usually with a flick of her wrist or so. This is a very powerful move that Calypso has mastered, but she really only uses it for making herbs grow to help with Echo's job. Plus, it drains a lot of energy. 

Weapon / Fighting Style: Calypso usually has her plant powers immobiłize her opponent, then goes in for the kill with her horns and teeth. She's a strategist. 

Personality : Caring | Strategic | Brash | Loudmouth

Caring

- She may seem heartless, but actually, she's very caring about those she holds dear to her heart. It may seem weird, but hey, that's Calypso in a nutshell.

Strategic

- Calypso is smart. She's always one or two steps ahead of her opponent and she will rarely lose. That's why she loves brain twisters and riddles, as well as playing chess.

Brash

- She often says what she is thinking before her brain processes it. Because of this trait, she may come off rude at first.

Loudmouth

- Like her brashness, her mouth often gets Calypso into trouble. Her belief that Echo and she is the best team doesn't help this aspect when challenging other people. Echo often has to restrain her before they get into an unwanted fight.

Roleplay </i>

(from #TheSilverRiver) with !MintFireTheCat 

"The lake?!" the she-cat meowed in confusion. Why would the mousebrain want to go there? she thought irritably, trembling as another gust of wind tugged at her ebony fur. 
"Yep!" the tom cheerfully replied, not daring to turn back and face the wrath of the tiny she-cat, instead, continuing on his path to the lake. 
"Hey! Wait up!" Swiftwillow yowled, willing her limbs to move faster to keep up with the silver tom's longer legs. "You know my legs are shorter than yours - Oof!" 
The she-cat had tripped over a stray branch and now was sprawled, limbs everywhere, in the mud.

(tell me if that's long enough please ^^)
