Rhoxane
And I matured in peace born of command,
in the nursery of the infant century,
and the voice of man was never dear to me,
but the breeze’s voice—that I could understand.
The burdock and the nettle I preferred,
but best of all the silver willow tree.
Its weeping limbs fanned my unrest with dreams;
it lived here all my life, obligingly.
I have outlived it now, and with surprise.
There stands the stump; with foreign voices other
willows converse, beneath our, beneath those skies,
and I am hushed, as if I’d lost a brother.

Appearance
Alabaster pale with gray undertones, yellow eyes that would better belong to a owl, and silver hair that seems to be the embodiment of pure moonlight. One can say Rhoxane’s appearance is unique, maybe even ethereal, but it can hardly be considered attractive. Her lips are blue and when she’s had one too many sleepless nights, the circles under her eyes tend to be the same blue. Not to mention that since she forgets to eat quiet often, her figure is quite thin and gangly.
Skills and Abilities
College magic and the ability to read and write.
Rhoxane has spent her passion on summoning grand creatures to perform magical feats for her. The bigger the better, although Rhoxane has a particularly fond spot for creatures that are ugly and gross. Something about their ugliness makes them incredibly cute to her.

Personality
Rhoxane Van Der Aa is a huge nerd. Was bullied as a child for preferring books over people, and to this day, she much prefers hiding out in her room or library than at a social gathering. This makes her rather awkward in groups. With one person she could chat their ear off for hours about her studies, but in a group setting she grows quiet and meek.
Unfortunately has a know-it-all attitude and is prone to correcting people all the time, even if she’s wrong, she’s so stubborn and confident in her knowledge she will truly believe she’s right until proven otherwise.
Despite her prickly exterior, Rhoxane has proven to be extremely devout and loyal to a select few, namely Professor Sabrina Cetirizine who is viewed more like a mother she never had in Rhoxane’s eyes.
