To the Souls in the Fool's Night

[Ianthe Sharrow]

Spacey, withdrawn and absent-minded, Ianthe isn't really a hard nut to crack. Despite being unpredictable and a tad disillusioned, she's just your typical meta-human struggling with talking to ghosts, being a little too detached from reality, measuring life in cups of coffee and other adolescent angst.

Friends: Her first best friends were a schizophrenic ghost named Doctor Cutting and her flame-controlling son, so forgive Ianthe for yearning for eccentric, unconventional friends. She's actually fine conversing with the dead and whatnot, but she'd like some human company, too - preferably patient, mature and emotionally stable people who wouldn't mind occasionally having a one-sided conversation.

Enemies: Ianthe wouldn't honestly hate someone, mainly because half the time, her head's up in the clouds. But for others disliking her...That's another story altogether. Have a cup of coffee, this might take long.

Ianthe is pretty irksome, since a) it gets quite annoying when she's absorbed in a conversation with some random spirit, b) she most probably will not pay attention to anything you would say and c) she can be a little bipolar sometimes. It doesn't take much for her to switch from being ecstatic to extremely wrathful.

Lovers: Ianthe is asexual and besides, she would not even notice if someone had a crush on her. Only ghosts can hold her 100% attention. So, unless you're dead...

Mentors: She needs a father figure in her life, since Mr. Sharrow apparently "went insane" and left Ianthe and her mother to cope with the aftermath. Ianthe believes that her father is a meta-human as well, and had either escaped or had been experimented on by certain people. But that's just her being paranoid.

Other People: Ianthe would probably have other acquaintances.

Hi! Welcome to Hammel!

I have three characters who are around for threading!

First, Estelle: She's 16, happy and welcoming, and the easiest person to thread with from a logistics perpective. She loves making friends and talking to new people, so she'd be all too excited to make friends with Ianthe. (And she's used to eccentricity, so no worries about that!)

Second, Jean: he's 12, excitable and basically your typical twelve year old boy. He'd be a good little brother, if Ianthe is looking for one, if a little annoying sometimes, I'm sure. He would probably be a little weirded out at first at Ianthe's power, but he'll roll with pretty much anything xD

Third, Cobalt: he's 45 and a lawyer in town. He'd be the hardest to thread with because 1: he's a local, and therefore doesn't hang around Hammel and 2: he wouldn't hang around Hammel because he doesn't like it. >.> But he is always willing to help out students and at this point, no power would really surprise him all that much. xD

So if any of these appeal to you, feel free to PM me and we can talk! If none of these appeal to you, that's okay too! xD Either way, I look forward to reading Ianthe's story!

Thank you for the welcome!

I believe Ianthe would get along (more or less, at least) with Jean, because he'd probably end up reminding her of Doctor Cutting's son. (who is still unnamed, but he'll get a name soon enough)

I have no plot ideas yet, because I'm supposed to be studying right now (Shhh!) but I'll send you a pm hopefully by tomorrow.

Hmmm, let's see here. A lot of my characters just wouldn't be around her much, so let's see what I can do:

Dr. James Campbell: He might be able to take on the mentor role. He's been in Ianthe's shoes; when he was her age, they didn't know his power had manifested, so his special perception made him act strangely and isolated him. As the Head of Recruiting, he would not only be aware of her ability already, he's seen just about everything. As a father, he's good at being patient with teenagers.

Eli Morrison: Eli is the school's librarian. I don't have much of an idea for their relationship so much as a potentially funny thread. Maybe she could end up talking to a spirit in the library, and he could try to tell her to be quiet, only to be ignored? He's used to people listening, but a combination of her being new and her being occupied would throw him off.

Isaac Tilford: He's three years older, so probably wouldn't have much to do with her. However, he knows he's a dork, so if he saw someone picking on her, he'd try to step in. I don't know if that would help the situation, but he'd try, at least.

And here is my plotting page, which is the quickest reference for more about them, and my others.
