Name: Erin Connors

Age: 19

Race: Human

Sex: Female

Hair: Erin’s hair is chestnut brown. Her hair is straight and styled in layers that extend an inch or so past her shoulders. She wears a violet headband to keep her hair out of her face.

Eyes: Hazel - brown with specks of green and gold.

Weight: 125 lbs

Height: 5’8

Weapon: Erin possesses a few throwing daggers that she keeps hidden in various places on her body.

Armor: None

Strengths: Erin has psychic powers. She performs her powers best when it is warm and when the sun is out. She has excellent vision and is able to throw her daggers (with her powers) extremely accurately. Irala, her Pabali companion, acts as her ears and helps her when needed.

Weakness: Erin is completely deaf. While Irala acts as her ears, she cannot hear anything herself. She cannot fight without her powers and is completely defenseless without them. She cannot do hand-to-hand combat with a weapon. She is a bit too trusting around people who she’s just met. When she meets a cute boy, she tends to stop thinking logically. Erin is particularly weak against ice and her fear of the dark could almost be descibed as a phobia.

Skills/Magic: Erin has psychic powers and therefore can perform various attacks. She has good control over them.

Psychokinesis-Erin is able to move objects with this attack. All she needs to do is pick an object and think about what she wants to do with it. She often uses this attack to throw her daggers. She can only perform this task with inanimate objects.

Healing Air-Erin can heal minor wounds (scrapes, minor cuts, bruises) of living creatures, both plant and animal, by thinking of it being healed. She is unable to perform this on herself.

Portal Warp-With this power, Erin can create portals that will lead her to wherever she commands it to take her. With this, Erin can travel to different parts of the world to different universes. Creating portals consumes a lot of energy and will leave Erin exhausted whenever she uses it. She prefers not to use this when fighting unless there is no other way to escape.

Appearance: Erin is very pretty. She has a heart-shaped face and her large hazel eyes are framed by long eyelashes. Her skin is a light shade of olive. She has a nice hourglass figure and, while she doesn’t flaunt it, she isn’t ashamed of it either. She wears a form-fitting, long-sleeved purple shirt that hangs off of her shoulders. Around her neck is a gold chain that has a matching cross on it. She wears dark blue jeans that flare out at the ends. Her jeans aren’t too tight and allow her to move with ease. Her shoes are black Converse sneakers which look fairly new. She carries around a dark blue backpack which holds her essential items (clothes, food, money, a hairbrush, make-up, a mirror, and her camera).

In warm weather, Erin will roll up her pants so they resemble kapris, and her shirt sleeves will be rolled up past her elbows. In cold weather, she will wear a light blue coat and instead of her sneakers she will wear black snow boots.

Personality: Erin is very lighthearted. She is almost always cheerful and is usually seen with a smile on her face. She is very friendly and likes to communicate with people. While she prefers not to talk, she is fluent in sign language and Irala usually talks for her (see info for Irala). She is rarely angry, though when does loose her temper, she is uncontrollable. She enjoys taking pictures and will often take pictures of places she's been and people who she's met. Her worst fear is to become blind, for then she would be both blind and deaf. Any place that is completely dark freaks her out since she feels completely defenseless. She is somewhat vain about her appearance. She could be described as a bit of a flirt when she is attracted to someone, but flirting is all the she will do with someone.

Biography: Erin Connors was born in a small suburbial town in the north-eastern United States. She was the third female child of John and Robin Connors, although she was the second one to have been born alive. The child that had been born before her was a miscarriage, and her mother was relieved when Erin was born on time and was perfectly healthy.

When Erin was a young infant, just barely a year old, she grew sick. Strange things occurred while she was suffering. Objects would magically fall from shelves and when she cried loudly, some things even broke. Confused by what was going on, her parents constantly tried to keep their young daughter calm. When she continued suffering, her parents knew there was something wrong with her.

Her parents sent her to the hospital, hoping to figure out what was wrong with their daughter. The doctors told them that Erin was suffering from inner ear infections in both ears. They tried to save the young baby girl and have her fully recover. While Erin did survive, she lost hearing in both of her ears and would live the rest of her life deaf. Her parents were devastated by this, but they were determined to make sure she lived a normal life despite her disability. A year later her mother gave birth to another daughter.

When Erin was about five, her parents sent her to a school for deaf children. There, Erin was taught how to communicate using sign language amongst other things that a normal child learns. At first, learning these sorts of things were difficult to her. Like any frustrated child, Erin threw fits. During these fits, abnormal things would occur. Objects would fly around, items would break, and no one could control her.

As she grew older, she was able to control her anger better and learn the things that had stumped her when she was younger. She was able to understand and “speak” sign language with ease, and was beginning to talk and be understood when she spoke. The random acts that would occur faded away until eventually people forgot that those things happened.

When Erin was twelve, she took a liking to walking around in the woods in her backyard. She would explore those woods for hours on end, pretending she was off adventuring. As she was traveling one day, she felt as if someone - or something - was following her. Glancing around every so often, she saw nothing out of the ordinary. Nevertheless, couldn’t shake off the feeling. She spotted a tree and climbed it. As she was up there, she saw a creature prowling around on the ground below her. She began to panic, wishing she was somewhere safe. She wasn’t able to climb down for fear of getting killed, but she couldn’t stay up in the tree forever. She prayed that she was somewhere else, where she would be safe from the bear. Trying to stay balanced in the tree, she kept thinking of a safe place, waiting for the bear to leave.

A moment later, the air around her began to change. It grew warmer, almost to the point where it was stifling. Erin stared in amazement as a strange place appeared before her. She could see a large field with sparkling things floating around in it. Thinking only about how this place was safer-looking that her current place, she jumped in the portal. As soon as she completely entered the new world, the portal closed up. The young girl suddenly felt exhausted and blacked out.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in the large field. She got up and looked around, hoping to see the sparkling thing that she had witnessed before. To her surprise, the sparkling things were butterfly-like creatures. There were hundreds of them flying around, a variety of colors and sizes. She blinked, wondering if she was dreaming. A small butterfly-like creature flew into her, catching her by surprise.

“Sorry!” a voice said to her.

“No pro-” She stopped halfway. She heard what it had said! She turned to the little creature, its purple and blue wings waving back and forth. From up close, she saw while it had wings like a butterfly, it had a body that resembled a gerbil. “How…”

“No need to speak out loud,” the voice said. It was high-pitched and girly. “Just think what you want to say to me.”

“How can I hear you? And just what the heck are you? Where am I?” The questions tumbled out from her mind.

A laughter filled her head. “You can hear me because that is one of my gifts. I can communicate to any living creature, understand any spoken language, all that stuff. As for what I am,” the voice paused, “I am a Pabali. And we don’t really have a name for this land. We just call it Home.” A high-pitched chuckle filled her head. “By the way, I’m Irala."

Erin looked at the Pabali, shocked. She was watching the small mouth of Irala and found that it wasn’t moving. “I’m Erin,” she replied.

The creature floated around Erin’s head. “You seem to have a sort of power. I can sense it in you. Are you a psychic?”

“How is that possible? Psychics are crazy people who pretend that they can see the future. And I am definitely not like that.”

Erin could hear a sigh. “Not that kind of psychic! Have you ever been able to make things move without physically touching them? Besides, you came here with a portal. I saw you before you passed out. I can sense some healing properties in you too, though those skills may not awaken for years. If you let me stay with you, I can help you with your powers.”

Erin pushed aside the talk as crazy, but Irala was persistent. Erin finally allowed the creature to return home with her on the condition that she helped Erin open the portal back to her home. When Irala said to simply think of her home, the young girl felt stupid for not coming up with that idea on her own. She followed the Pabali’s advice and opened a portal that led to her back yard. She collapsed from exhaustion once more, but Irala later assured her that practice would lead to more stamina.

As the years passed, Erin and Irala became friends until it was clear that they were close. Irala helped Erin master her powers. Erin was shocked to realize that she could heal the wounds of animals and repair plants, though she was saddened that she couldn’t heal wounds on herself. She soon gained control over her psycokinesis and was able to throw objects with excellent accuracy. Irala worked on her with opening portals, although she told Erin that it took years to truly master portal warping.

Once Erin graduated from high school, she decided to not attend college right away, traveling around the world instead. She visited different countries via her portals and was able to communicate with the people of those countries using Irala. She continues to travel and is beginning to voyage to different dimenstions, hoping to improve her portal-making skills in the process.

Personality: Carefree and happy are words that can describe Irala. She has a high-pitched and slightly annoying voice. She is not shy and will talk to people for hours at a time. She constantly talks and enjoys being the center of attention.

Biography: Irala was born to two Pabali, one a water Pabali and one an air Pabali. Her colors on her wings, blue and purple, represent her heritage. The pink dots on her wings show that she is a female (a male’s dots are black). Each Pabali has a special and unique gift that they are born with. In Irala’s case, she got the gift of the gab. She had a knack for talking and understands any language that is spoken. She lived her life like a normal Pabali, flying around and talking to her fellow Pabali.

When she bumped into Erin, she knew right away that she had special powers. She immediately knew that she had to accompany the young girl back home and be her mentor. When she realized the girl was deaf, she quickly decided that she would be her translator. Though most people found the little butterfly-like creature odd, only one person tried to actually squash her. Once Erin made it clear that no one would squash her, Irala knew that she would be safe with Erin and sword that she would protect her.

She lives with Erin and travels with her, helping her out when she has a question and communicating for her.
