Basic Information
            Name Imani Saint
            Nickname Taj (they prefer this!)
            Date of Birth Nov 17
            Age 19
            Gender genderfluid (they/she)
            Height 5'9
            Weight  150lbs
            Status witch
            Occupation student
            Dorm A7
            Rank  1
            Magical Ability
                          Blood Manipulation
                              Explosive blood - Depending on what metals and the different consistencies of the blood can condition what kind of explosive they use. Taj hasn't had many opportunities to play with that however, so its a bit of a mystery the extent of their power. 
            Limitations
                          - They can only manipulate their own blood
                          - Depending on how the blood is summoned can severely hurt Taj. Because they have little control over it, it's quite a gamble. If it comes through the eyes, they can be blinded. If it comes through the skin directly, they're will be dark bruising and soreness. 
                          - Because Taj is using their own blood, they are prone to fainting. If they get out of control, Taj can do a lot of damage to their body.
            Magical Aid
                           Not really and aid, trinket, or familiar but they carry a little pouch. The pouch contains some minerals, O+ blood, fatty A+, and rare blood that her grandmother bought on whim once; they're still not sure what to do with it.

Personal Information
            Personality 
                    Negative
- Awkward
        She can be a bit awkward especially in introductions. They don't handle meeting people well and despite getting excited beforehand, in the moment will try to remove themselves from the situation. If they stick through it, they can warm up to you relatively fast. 
- Is not the most telling
        Taj can be kind of 'mysterious' (lol not really). She doesn't really feel comfortable just giving people her life story. It can be a bit hard for her to be be openly honest with her feelings as well. This can lead to a lot of misunderstandings about her. However if you just put some time and commitment into her, it'll be a very awarding friendship.
- Tendency to over-work herself
        She's a very determined person. Wether its grades, hobbies, or that one time she decided to climb that tree when she was seven. Taj often will burn herself out or hurt herself trying to do what she set out to do. She means well though!
- Loner
        She's honestly not a loner. Just because she's a bit proud and has a hard time making friends she'll end up secluding herself. This is really bad for her because Taj is really a people person. They just need to be around people to really shine and feel good.

                    Neutral
- Can be a bit "all or nothing"
        This trait really flip flops with Taj. At it's best she's a passionate hard worker. At it's worst she's completely engrossed in her mineral collection (What do you mean it's insane to spend 300$ on a rock?). Not just with hobbies or things, she can obsess over people only to drop them months later. However this has led her to be more cautious in her emotions. And is the source of her dedication for many things like dancing and spirituality. 
- Flaky
        By this I mean her opinion tends to change a lot. You could interpret that as she's pretty flexible, because she can be. However sometimes you'll see her totally into one thing and a week later hate that thing. They're a bit of a roller coaster at times. 

                    Positive
- excited by the little things
        Taj loves the small things. She has a strong dislike for unnecessary things like birthday cards or flowers, but they appreciate the thought put into it. They love to be told that something you watched or passed by reminded you of them. Things like picking up trash despite that "everyone liters!" or letting her listen to that one song on radio despite you loathing it, really tickle her little heart.
- will always try hard to be friends
        She isn't the best with friendships whether it comes to awkward meetings or maintain them, but they will always make an effort. Taj has spent a lot of time wishing it were easy for her to click with people her age. Its very important to her that she at least puts in effort.
- will always see things through
        Promises are vary important to Taj. She has broken only one promise before, and intends to fulfill it one day. If she has committed herself to something that has other people relying on her, you can count your lucky stars she'll be at the finish line.
- strong disposition
        If Taj strongly believes something, they will stick by it. I would say she isn't afraid to call you out on your bullshit, but she is. She sometimes is really afraid to speak out, but if she truly believes in what she has to say then then she will say it.
        
            Strengths 
                    - physical control
                    - very spiritual
                    - fast learner (not always lol )
            Weaknesses 
                    -easily misunderstood
                    -explosive (get it?)
                    -no experience 
            Likes
                    -spicy foods
                    -dark colors
                    -mint things 
            Dislikes 
                    -big spaces
                    -not feeling grounded (no planes/glass floors)
                    -unfamiliar people who are touchy
           History
    Imani's parents had them when they were young. It was quite an unhealthy relationship. Ultimately she was left with her grandmother, Sung. 
    She showed signs of their power since they were a baby. Sometimes in a fuss she would start bleeding. Her doctors couldn't explain it and called her a medical wonder. 
    Taj only attended school for a few years. In first grade she got picked on by some boys in her class. After telling her grandmother, she was taught martial arts. Taj was able to stand up for herself, but the boys in her class decided that they would get back at her. They ambushed her after school. Beyond her control she basically exploded in a back alley way. After that Sung took her out of school for fear of another incident.
    Growing up home schooled, Taj was a great student. She helped out around cafe, and met some good people that way. However she didn't really connect with kids her age. 
    At thirteen she begged her grandmother to go back to school. Her grandmother wouldn't let her, but instead introduced her to some youth groups. Taj really connected with belly dancing. Through belly-dancing she really got in touch with her spiritual side. 
    Three years later she's convincing her grandmother that a two day trip with her belly dancing friends won't end the world. Somehow she got through to Sung.
    However it was a two-day party train. Taj really didn't enjoy herself in that atmosphere. She met some cool people, but she wasn't comfortable with all the drugs or drinking. Finally one of her friends convinces her to at least try it. Taj remembers very little besides feeling like she was on fire. She apparently nearly blinded her best friend and set the kitchen on fire. 
    Her best friend, Jsaiah, still talks to her, and Sung never found our, but Taj left the youth group. This was the moment she received her letter to Eterna. Taj was very inclined to join, but she never felt out of place at home. More than anything she just wanted to learn more about herself. Because of her outbursts Taj never got all the normal American childhood stuff. There had to be a reason for that. 
    Taj spent a lot of time studying spirituality and trying to draw out her powers. However she got very little results.
    With no avail, Taj said her tearful goodbyes to friends and grandmother.
