Curious
She want to learn and find new thing, its the main reason she is a map maker! She would be the type to follow a trail of bread to see where it may lead.

means well
She will try to please people and do good even though many times she will accidentally be rude of. IF she ever realizes that she has been rude then she will immediately apologize straight away.

Mature
She considers herself to be a very mature and adult character. Phina always tries to be sensible and to do the RIGHT thing, though not always what is right for everyone. It bothers her a little bit when

Superstitious
She is EXTREMELY superstitions, to the point it is almost OCD, and some of her superstitions are...
- Crossing water without a strong bridge is bad luck and shouldn't be done
- Its bad luck to lose anything on a journey or a trip as it means that you will lose yourself on the next journey you take.
- Its Good luck to touch wood when talking ABOUT somebody (or THEY may get bad luck)

She has MANY MANY more (so if you want to make one up for her then just send me a comment about it :) )

Picky
She likes things to be one correctly and is always using the saying "if you want something done right do it yourself"



Abilities
:bulletblue: Flight, however since her wings are small she cant fly for long distances
:bulletblue: Hunting, Because she is so often away from the village for long amounts of time she has to collect her own food and so taught herself to catch small game
:bulletblue: Dexterity, her paw 'fingers' are longer than normal feline paws and she has a 'thumb' type finger which means that she can hold things fairly easily (like weapons) However she cant do extremely delicate things with ease.

Strengths
:bulletgreen: fantastic Memory, Because of the years practice of making maps she can easily recall details of her surroundings and other things.
:bulletgreen: Strength, She is stronger than she looks (though not ridiculously in compassion to her size, so she couldn't lift something much large than her)
:bulletgreen: Maneuverable, Her short wings help her very quickly change direction (while on the ground and in the air)


Weaknesses
:bulletred: Tail, Her tail is very long and weak.
:bulletred: Asthmatic and unfit. She is, ever so slightly, tubby. She isn't one to exercise alot and so when she DOES it almost always makes her asthma kick in. He breathing becomes increasingly labored and restricted and if she continues to exercise she will start to panic and the continued restriction of her breathing will, eventually, cause her to faint. Her Asthma will also kick in when she becomes panicked or afraid.
:bulletred: A terrible TERRIBLE Fear of water, she believes it to be terrible bad luck to cross moving water with ought using a solid stone bridge or another type of crossing made of some type of earth. She will avoid water at all cost, even a puddle and will always try to find good shelter in the rain. This also means she cant swim.
:bulletred: Bad hearing. Phina's hearing is pretty terrible. she is CONSTANTLY mishearing people and asking them to repeat themselves. she is practically deaf to low frequency noises.
Other things to take note of:
:bulletwhite: Map making, Phina is a map maker and is very proud of her ability to remember the lay of the land with ease
:bulletwhite: Cooking, Phina likes her food (not to much, a healthy-ish amount) and so likes to be able to cook it well

Why she want to win: Just think of all the brand new shiny maps she could make! And all the places she could see that would all be up to HER to map out!

Thank you for your interest :tea:

Unfortunately, most of your weaknesses cannot be accepted.

Being superstitious and having a fear of water are both personality issues and do not count as actual weaknesses. Generally speaking, a weakness must have a significant effect upon the character. Simply being frightened by water does not meet the qualification (unless the fear were so great that it would make her practically incapable of even drinking).

Although you note that her coloration is bright enough to make it tricky for her to hide, her colors do not seem to be all that vivid. Do keep in mind that cool colors like blue do not stick out as much as warm colors like red.

Having a long tail is not a significant weakness. It might be considered, but does not count fully.

Her superstitions are rather complicated. Could you limit them to 1-2 examples? Other writers and artists should be able to devise their own (as you mentioned).

As for her abilities, some of them do not need to be listed as such. An ability generally refers to something that has an active effect when fighting/competing with others. We suggest moving “Map making”, “Cooking”, and “Hunting” to an Other section.

The main issue at the moment is that you simply do not have enough valid weaknesses. You will need to add two or three of them to properly balance your character. If you need inspiration, we have a short list in the Character Design page to help get you started. If you are still having trouble, we can also provide suggestions.

If you can fix the balance issue, you should be ready to go.
