Sailor Ufeeri

CHARACTER NOW BELONGS TO iCheddar

Managed to squeeze in a quicky entry to 's Contest to create Teammates for Ashera.

Details here:
Ashera's Team Contest CLOSEDSo you all can blame :iconstefbani: and :iconmoondanceraya: for encouraging this.
But here we go:
Sailor Ashera Team Mate Design Contest
The Goal:  
~Create 5 new team mates to help fight with my Sailor Ashera! ~
These Five gals come from near by planets in their Binary Star System (meaning there are two suns instead of just 1)
Each of these gals will have a different element that their planet is mostly comprised of (yes the planet name is their senshi name)
Sailor Ilalia (il-lah-lee-uh) - Air Mainly Wind
Sailor Lanus (lawn-us) - Fire Mainly Lava 
Sailor Ufeeri (oo-fear-ee) - Earth Mainly Plants
Sailor Cophus (Co-Fuss) - Decider of Luck and Fate
Sailor Skelia (Skel- Leah) - Keeper of Order and Chaos
Requirements for the Girls:
~*These are Elven/ Alien Senshi. I would prefer it if they had pointy ears.
~*Put in some fun hair designs~ Having an air senshi with long flowing white hair is cliche. Having her with feathers/clouds for hair is WAY more exciting! h

Name (& pronunciation): Sumira Al'Ae (Soo-Mee-rah Al-ay)

Date of Birth: 23rd Moon Day of Pollination. (Similar to Earth's Spring)

Age: 19 Cycles.

Language: Alterrian, Sylterrian and Urtheran. Basically the languages of Plants, Air and Earth (dirt, rocks etc). Each language is specifically bred into her species.

Familiar/guardian animal/companion: None

Height: 5.5" (yes, you read that right, 5.5 inches tall. This is a standard height for her race.)

Weight: 10 lbs

Hair: Moss Green. Her hair is actually a series of vines that are reactive to her moods. If she is happy, her "hair" has a bounce and slight wave to it. If sad or upset, it simply hangs limp. If she gets angry or is about to fight, it curls up tight against her head. And when she is particularly happy and/or in love, tiny little flowers blossom throughout her hair.

Eyes: Green and yellow.

Personality/Attitude: Spunky and outgoing, Sumira loves to explore and learn new things, and most especially meeting new people. She is not shy by any means. She is always first to volunteer to do something or go somewhere and she is not afraid to ask a million questions to get an answer for something. Always the optimist, she somehow manages to find a way to turn things around or at the very least, gives everyone she's with hope that they can get out of whatever dangerous situations they've found themselves in.

Skills/Talents: Despite her size, she has incredible strength. Her tiny compact body behaves similarly to Earth's Ants, giving her the ability to lift, carry and throw objects that weigh as much as a bus. She is also a skilled tracker.

Favourites/Likes: Her most favourite thing to do is explore. She has very nearly explore every inch of the Planet Ufeeri. Aside from that, she loves to lie atop a massive canopy of trees and literally soak up the rays of the dual suns. She absolutely loves the warmth.

Most Hated/Dislikes: Sumira very much detests the cold. Ufeeri has only seen two harsh "Rebirths" (Winters) in her lifetime and each time her species holed up and slept away the cycles. Small doses of cold she can deal with by simply dressing warmer, but if it gets TOO cold for her, she gets sleepy and sluggish. Prolonged exposure to that type of cold without warming her up will result in her actually falling asleep.

She also hates being ignored, especially if she's trying to talk or ask questions.

Goals/Ambitions: Sumira comes from a long line of Protectors and as such, her main goal is to uphold that honour and continue the Grand Legacy of her Predecessors. Her personal goal, however is to continue to explore new worlds.

Strengths: With her outgoing nature, she is quick to make friends and is loyal to a fault to all of them. She sees the good in everyone, even if they can't see it themselves yet. She has a way of making everyone feel at ease around her.

Weaknesses: Alternatively, she is too trusting and has a difficult time believing that someone could be "evil" or using her or her friends for their own gain. More often than not, her trusting ways and curiosity are the reasons she gets into trouble.

Fears: With such a thirst to know and see more, there is very little she fears to DO, but with the amount of pressure on her to uphold the Legacy, she fears failure the most.

Hobbies/Interests: Exploring is her number one hobby, obviously. Any chance she gets, she will take. She also loves the feeling of flying and dancing on the winds.

Powers
Along with her own unusual strength (she can be quite the scrapper), Sailor Ufeeri can commune and meld with spirits; Earth, Air, Plant and Animal, each with their own method of aid. Earth spirits allow her to control small amounts of terra firma, such as creating rock pillars or a rock wall/barrier. Air spirits give her the ability to fly faster. Plant spirits gives her control over plants, usually vines she can use for tangling up unwanted creatures (or releasing poor unfortunate creatures who simply got stuck). And Animal Spirits will either call a creature to aid her or grant her a temporary benefit from which ever animal is called. Benefits can range from Gift of Sight (able to see through the eyes of the creature), to bonus speed and/or strength, and even to claws/talons if she needed to fight.

Contamination Purification: Just as the name suggests, Sumira is capable of purging all sorts of toxins from many things. Whether they be her kin, other species or the plants, animals and waters of her planet. Stronger and higher doses of toxins require more time and energy. As part of her duties, she must ensure the purity of the Life Springs in order to keep Ufeeri as beautiful as it is. Gradually, over time, if left untreated, the minerals and salts of the planet's terra firma seeps into the waters, tainting it. This "taint", if absorbed into the plant life, changes their very cores. Some wither and die, others adapt, but in any case, such effects can drastically change the entire way of life for all creatures as well as the climate of Ufeeri. This process, however, takes many, many cycles.

Typically, a "Grand Purification" is done at the end of Sailor Ufeeri's life (roughly when they are 50 cycles old) as they ceremony for this takes its toll on the body. Sailor Ufeeri wades into the Life Springs and does not return. It is believed that she/he is Embraced (absorbed) by the Springs and that sacrifice is what purifies the waters. After this is done, another Sailor Ufeeri takes their place (read below).

Other Facts:
Sumira was not conceived in the typical "human" fashion. She has no parents to speak of, only Guardians and Teachers. Every new generation of "Sailor Ufeeri" is "created" and grown from a small seedling planted deep within the roots of the Ufeerialrian Tree. In their language, literally "The Heart of the Planet." Knowledge from all the previous incarnations of Sailor Ufeeri are imprinted upon the seedling; their mission to protect their World, how to transform and use their powers, and the memories of Ancients. Every war fought, whether won or lost, every other planet they visited. It is why Sumira's desire to explore is so great. She has seen most of her own planet, but with the memories of her ancestors, she knows there is so much more out there. It's one thing for her to know, but she wants to see them for herself. When the seedling is "ready" it hatches to reveal the new, fully grown Sailor Ufeeri.

Ufeeri itself is a medium sized planet, covered in various flora and fauna. Bright flowers and exotic trees create an extensive and dense forest that for most "regular" sized beings is difficult at best to travel through. There are no paths to speak of save whatever trails the animals may make. There are no humanoid species in the typical sense, rather there are many variations of smaller sprite and nymph-like creatures that co-exist within the flora itself in little fairy-esque habitats.

There are no rivers, lakes or oceans. Instead there are small pockets of water in the trees themselves for any creature who may need it. All the plant life is fed water through a massive underground system of natural springs that run through the core of the planet. That combined with the double suns keep the plant life, and thusly the planet, lush and thick.

I entirely blame Elfquest for this concept. Everything from the eyes to the four fingers and toes. I couldn't help myself.
