It is said that Kingdom Hearts is a Promised Land that has been fought for countless times in the past. The Heart of all Worlds, legend has dictated that those who manage to claim the Light of this phantasmal crown of existence will have the ability to twist the realms of Light, Dark, and those-betwixt to their very whim as something akin to a Deity. As time has proven, so long as the legend of this mysterious place continues to pervade the annals of history, there will always be those who seek its power for their own. Yet, in the past, seven bountiful Lights struck down Thirteen Darknesses, and restored Order to the Worlds.

In this golden age, Keybearers rose to a new zenith once more, and prosperity was ensured beneath their guardianship.

A descendant of one of the Seven Lights of the second Keyblade War, and a distant relative of the lone survivor of the Purge of Key, Norwin has had a life filled with many expectations. Marked by the last Keybearer of the realm of Light, hers was a fate that seemed to be written from the start as a Guardian of the Worlds. Because of this, she is haughty, stubborn and proud. Though proud, there is no denying that she is skilled. The guilt her Master held at surviving the Purge is one that has allowed him to push Norwin's training to grand heights. Despite this, she found no small amount of trouble in awakening the power of the Keyblade. Upon seeing the challenges that she faced in waking her power, her Master sent her on a pilgrimage in the hopes that she would Awaken through seeing just what forces she would be protecting.
Throughout the course of her journey, she discovered a truly phenomenal amount of Darkness amassing in the Worlds once more. Seeing this as a trial, Norwin attempted to take it upon herself to investigate potential causes. Along this journey, she eventually came across a startling discovery. A young woman who, for all intents, should not have had a Keyblade. Driven towards spite and anger, her Heart faltered for but a moment, and found itself swayed towards cooperating with Dark forces.
Yet as the first journey came to a close, she realized the errors of her ways, and sought to redeem herself. Now a reluctant ally of those she had once spurned, Norwin, like many children chosen by the Key, has found herself drawn into the eternal war of Light and Darkness.
❝ You should commit this to memory. If you don't want to get burned? Don't stand in my way.  ❞

" Darkness, Light... no matter which path any of us choose, we're all a part of this balance. So it isn't the Darkness that you should be afraid of. It isn't the Light, either. You should be scared of the people that try to use either to their advantage, got it? "

Basic Information
ＴＨＥＢＡＳＩＣＳ

∎ ɴᴀᴍᴇ: Norwin ( ノーウィン ). She seems to fancy her name for relatively asinine reasons. Some people have taken to shortening it, and she seems impartial to that much.

∎ ᴀɢᴇ: Appears 16 [ Act I - Hikari ] -- 16.5 [Act 1.5 / ReBirth ] -- 17 [ Act II - Sanctuary ]

∎ ɢᴇɴᴅᴇʀ: Female.

∎ ʜᴇɪɢʜᴛ:5'6" ( 167 cm )

∎ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ: Healthy ; she regularly works out and has a strict enough diet.

∎ ʜᴀɪʀ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ: Norwin's hair is a a fiery red. Though normally untamable when she allows it to grow out, the lack of length she seems to favor is definitely something she does to keep it tame. Shoulder length, it seems to have a bit of a curve towards the fringe, not unlike tongues of fire. Resembling something akin to a pixie cut, she generally allows a small portion of her hair to frame the right side of her face in a ponytail.

∎ ᴇʏᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ: A bright shade of sapphire ; in certain lighting, they appear teal, or even seafoam green. A lighter shade of sky blue frames the edges of her irises, giving her a relatively striking appearance.

∎ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅᴛʏᴘᴇ: AB+

∎ ʙɪʀᴛʜᴅᴀʏ: Dates between Worlds are rather hard to get a pin on. Since time flows with such a general gist that can be faster or far slower, dependent on the proximity of the World to Light and Dark, calendars don't have a tendency of translating too well. A general date that seems to match up in several Worlds is February 10th. Which would make Norwin an Aquarius.

∎ ᴏᴄᴄᴜᴘᴀᴛɪᴏɴ: Occupations are a bit difficult to put a name or number to, when it comes to matters that require a Keyblade. In many ways, one could say that Norwin's entire life has revolved around the Keyblade so much, that this is the only thing she has known, and will probably know for quite some time. It has been her goal, her aspiration to become a protector of the Realm of Light. One can't really press for much else, because this is something that she looks at with such unerring conviction that it seems impossible to dissuade her from that route. On her homeworld, her status is something akin to Royalty, albeit, in the loosest of terms.

∎ ᴛɪᴛʟᴇ: The Key of Dusk. | The Left Eye of Light.

∎ ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴsʜɪᴘs: Initially, Norwin didn't have many relationships off the top of her head. Throughout her journeys, she has developed a prominent range of ties ; from friendships, to sponsorships, to rivals and allies. Her Master, though deceased by the time she is 17, appears to hold a great influence on her when it comes to a few personality quirks. Her relationship with her parents prove strained. Whether due to them not quite understanding how much her goals mean to her, or through some form of unsettled resentment. Norwin has never clarified on that either way.

∎ ᴀғғɪʟɪᴀᴛɪᴏɴs: Affiliations are something to play fast and loose by. Radiant Garden's restoration group, The Returners, seem to be the one that she'll be most willing to admit with the least amount of reluctance. The rebel force against the Order of Light has just endeared themselves to her without entirely meaning to.

ＧＲＡＴＩＦＩＣＡＴＩＯＮＳ
∎ ғᴏᴏᴅ: Contrary to popular belief that elves don't have much of an appetite, Nor loves to eat. As she has had the opportunity to travel the Worlds, this appetite has expanded to several unique dishes across the sea of stars. She enjoys sweet foods in particular, and holds a severe enjoyment of spicy meals. Luna berries are a staple in Illuminated Springs, and, much like many of the denizens of the World, she finds the desserts crafted with them to be remarkably delightful, provided that they're grown in just enough light to grow sweet, instead of remaining bitter. Courtesy of her own ( however many times over ) grandfather, seasalt ice-cream has always been a dessert that's settled into her family line as a tradition of sorts.

∎ ᴅʀɪɴᴋ: She has a delight towards water, if only due to the crisp, refreshing taste that it provides. Fruit juices, while natural, seem to be something that she takes special note to stock up on. She has a variety of flavors just packed away in her fridge at any moment, causing others to wonder if it's some kind of addiction on her own part. She enjoys strawberry-banana juice the most. Aside from this, there's a particular berry from her Homeworld that she takes special care to cultivate and make a juice out of. Aside from this, she isn't much of a heavy drinker.

∎ ᴘʜʀᴀsᴇ: " Commit it to Memory. "

∎ ᴍᴜsɪᴄ: Music is something that feeds the soul and soothes the Heart, so it goes without saying that Nor greatly enjoys listening to melodic beats in her down-time. She holds an appreciation for the music of her home, though it certainly isn't her favorite thing to listen to. The violin happens to be her favorite instrument overall.

∎ ʜᴏʙʙɪᴇs: Norwin has always been a good-study. A fan of the stars and a lover of the mystical arts, Norwin tends to enjoy finding decent reads in her spare time. While most people would find the dry text particularly snooze-inducing, she seems to find genuine gratification in the opportunity to challenge her brain. Moreso than that, she does enjoy stargazing, as looking upon the Worlds in the distance has always, always been something so enrapturing to look at. If she was required to actually give a hobby ( through no small amount of teethpulling ), she'd say refining her magical technique! Nyx has attempted to teach her a few of his spells, so she can regularly be seen refining her craft as best as she can. She's also interested in different ecosystems and biospheres, so she tends to study them when she can. Dancing is a good way to release tension, fortune-telling is a good way to freak people out, and she has a mischievous streak that comes and goes in the form of pranking, every once in a blue moon.

∎ ʟᴏᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs: Illuminated Springs is a bountiful world, rich with a culture built on harmonizing without nature. It goes without saying that she enjoys the natural sights of her home more often than not, so places such as forests are just as delightful for her as home is. While she can feel stifled by the lands, Norwin finds that places closely oriented with nature make her more comfortable than the bright cities of larger Worlds. This is not to say that she doesn't enjoy the places that larger cities have to offer, for the malls in few Worlds always seem to draw her attention. The beach has remained a go-to place for whenever she desires to have a bit of relaxation, and she finds the forests surrounding Twilight Town to be some of the more delightful, if not outright pleasant areas to indulge in.

∎ ᴏᴘᴘᴏɴᴇɴᴛs: Norwin has a personal vendetta most creatures that orient themselves towards the Darkness. Or, at least she seems to based entirely on her derisive nature towards Heartless and the like. The reality is something a bit more morbid, and perhaps a little more insightful. She enjoys the thrill of a good fight, the ability to exercise her strength and see how far she has come is one that she just can't afford to pass up in a lot of cases.

∎ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇsᴛs: Norwin doesn't have an interest in romantic endeavors. She is generally far too invested in things like her duties as a Keybearer to even humour the thought of it. Her brusque nature has a tendency of making people feel slighted anyways, so it goes without saying that romance, or, rather, love interests, are things that are far from her scope of her personal goals.

ＡＮＩＭＯＳＩＴＹ∎ ғᴏᴏᴅ: Bitter foods have never particularly been a favorite of hers. Spinach ; the sad truth of the matter is, it has never really sat right with her, so she'll try to avoid it no matter the cost. While she's never gotten sick from it, she doesn't particularly, er... like the taste. Far too bland for her. On that note, bland foods in general are just not for her at all. Pig feet, too. She doesn't really understand why some people eat these?

∎ ᴅʀɪɴᴋ: Nor dislikes the taste of coffee, as it doesn't appeal to her palette. Generally she'll just load it with as much sugar and creamer as possible in order to try to overcome the disgusting aftertaste.

∎ ғᴇᴀʀs: While her fears are normally closely guarded, a bit of insight will reveal that Nor holds a fear of being unable to stand to the legacies that her Ancestors have left behind. Prior to the near extinction of Keybearers, a handful of people from her familial line ( see ; two ) have been marked and awakened, while another was grew to be renown around Illuminated Springs as a particularly powerful Seer. It's a mark of insecurity, basically. At her core, she fears failure, an inability to rise to the expectations her people hold for her, and, initially, a fear of the Darkness within her Heart.

∎ ᴍᴜsɪᴄ: Anything high in pitch tends to annoy her rather sensitive ears.

∎ ǫᴡᴇʀᴋs ᴏғ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀs: Nor finds people that are clingy to be a source of irritation. She doesn't like having people rely on her constantly, so more often than not, she tries to keep herself at a distance so she can do things on her own terms. Ironically, she dislikes the thought of failing others, which generally falls back to her fears.

∎ ʟᴏᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs: She dislikes places that are incredibly dark, as they interfere with her innate ability to use The Sight. While generally, she attempts circumvent this with fire magic, there are simply some places that are too dark to pierce through. Cold and damp places too, if one wishes to get into deep thought about it.

∎ ɪɴᴅɪᴠɪᴅᴜᴀʟs: As she's traveled throughout the Worlds, she's come to garner a dislike for the various assortment of villains that she's met. The Order of Light in particular, seems to be something that she considers a mockery of the balance between the Worlds at large.

∎ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇsᴛs: Really dependent people. She's never gotten along with them too well, apparently.

ＰＨＹＳＩＣＡＬＩＴＹ

ℐdentity – ℭнασтιc gσσ∂;
There are many things that one could say about Nor, when first meeting her, with 'cocky' being a general idea that many have about her on a superficial level. With words that frequently come off as abrasive, and a demeanor that certainly appears indomitable, Nor is a young woman that has seemingly had the privilege of having her confidence shaped by those around her. Unbefitting of what one would expect from what they're told is a strong support system, Nor has a flippant tongue that borders the sharp tongue, and a heated temperament.

In fact, to say that she's a bit of a hothead would be a small truth. In her youth, Nor often struggled with this to a great degree, almost to the point of near constantly picking fights - over time, however, it has merely watered down to a mean competitive streak and a lack of desire towards actually losing in situations that require skills. While, once again, this may come as a surprise, her temper finds its roots in her childhood. Her youth, while far from unkind to her, aided the ( sometimes literally ) explosive young woman's irritable nature by and far. It could be said that this is, more than likely, a part of her tendencies to push others away due to her reservations towards letting others close to her.

Nor, while certainly assured in her abilities as both a Keyblade Wielder and a Seer ( as aforementioned, to the point of near cockiness ), suffers from a superiority complex towards others. As these come together to feed her competitive nature, others can be subjected to being provoked, if not playfully riled into actively seeking to one-up her. So long as she can prove her skill, she's actually not all that bad. Negative experiences have just more or less. . . forced her behavior to gravitate towards being predisposed this way. Much like the youth that she is, Nor will normally refute the claims of others in order to stand by her beliefs - which used to lead to a bullheadedness that clashed with her friend's own stubborn nature constantly.

Yet, if one manages to get beyond the walls that she's built up around herself, they may just manage to be surprised at Nor's amiable nature. For those that manage to become her friend, she has no qualms with moving to the ends of the Earth in order to make sure that they're protected and well off. Her bright mind, and near prodigal nature, lends itself to a common belief that she actually has the skill to back up her confidence in protecting others. As loathsome as it is to believe, Norwin is remarkably friendly, protective, and self-sacrificing for the people that she feels responsible for.

Fiercely loyal, loyal, and devoted to her beliefs, she is one that her friends look to for guidance towards problems that require a more logical perspective. Unwavering in her conviction, the fact of the matter remains that there simply just appears to be little that truly bother her, despite the agitation and gripes that she may claim to have at something.

While letting others in is difficult, Nor is, without a doubt, one that has little qualm with rising to the occasion to meet the circumstances laid before her. She doesn't back down, nor does she ever give in. Her stubborn mind, while sometimes a curse, proves to be a blessing in the face of enemies that others feel hopeless before.

In a way, she acts as an inspiration towards others, even if her tendencies to shoulder her own burdens proves nothing short of frustrating. It's not that she can't ask for help either, but her frustration at spitting such a thing out once more, stems from her youth and the standards she was held to as a heir to the Treasured Eyes, and what was thought to be the remaining key of destiny. The pressure set on her to not only achieve, but to do so in a manner that would set an even higher standard than before, has given form to insecurity, and bitterness. It's a form of Darkness that she struggles with every day. 'What if I'm not good enough?' or 'I could be better' are frequently thoughts that tend to ferment in her mind, if left to brood for too long-

But, overall, she isn't the sullen type of person. After all, why sit in the dark and mope when you can just burn away the doubts?

INNER WORKINGS
• ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜs: Norwin is a phenomenal student and a quick study. While she may be tempted to use power no matter the cost, she also seems to be cunning, resourceful, and incredibly pragmatic when need be. She's not exactly afraid to speak her mind, and truly shines when she has an opportunity to allow her perceptiveness to shine through.

• ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ ᴡᴇᴀᴋɴᴇssᴇs: She is impulsive, haughty, and find many people to not be worth her time or effort. She is not exactly elitist by any means, but her pride can be crippling whenever she needs to work with other people. Those that she trusts may have to deal with the occasional barb, but it seems to wane with enough time.

• ᴠɪᴄᴇs & ᴀᴅᴅɪᴄᴛɪᴏɴs: Unsurprisingly, it can be said that Norwin has more than her fair share of problems with Darkness. She has a habit of using it near subconsciously, and, depending on where she may be in her timeline, it may be a significant boost of strength or a phenomenal struggle that she frequently has to pull herself back from using. Over time she hones and masters it to the point where she has nothing to fear of it, but the point still stands.

● ғᴇᴀʀs & ᴘʜᴏʙɪᴀs: More than anything, does Norwin fear her inability to retain her independence. She has a certain streak about her that makes it difficult to even humour the thought of allowing herself to be subservient to others, and while it happens to be a sore spot of her falling beneath someone's control in the past, her pride has made it so that she wishes to never do so again. She also has feared losing her right to the Keyblade, and cherishes the weapon as a sign of how far she has come.

FEELINGS TOWARD:
● ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ: The Worlds are beautiful place. Rife with curious sights and ecosystems, Norwin seems to be completely enthralled with traversing them so she can fulfill her ancestral duties to the best of her ability. She enjoys learning about cultural heritages and may come off as a bookish sort whenever one works around her readily scathing personality.

● ʜᴏᴍᴇʟᴀɴᴅ: Illuminated Springs, a place that felt like a cage and also home in equal measure. She feels complicated about it, because she's never been the sort to touch on her feelings when it comes to her rank, or the prestige back home. She's more or less content to do her traveling, but she does enjoy the thought of touching on its soils whenever she gets a little homesick. She has an innate, visceral connection with her people, and despite being seen as haughty by offworlders, she adores the natural airs of her home far too much to ever think of relinquishing it for too long.

● ᴛʜᴇ ᴀғғʟᴜᴇɴᴛ: She believes that the rich should go out of their way to use their influence ; if they don't, if they're opulent and wasteful, they should just get out of the way and let her take charge. She dislikes greed with a distinct, keening sort of passion that borders outright spite, animosity, even.

● ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴏᴏʀ: She grew up relatively well-off. Never had to struggle for anything, never had want for anything. So she's pretty content with her lot in life so far. She empathizes with the poor though, and while she might not seem it, can and often does go out of her way to sometimes help them out. Provided they're not too greedy for handouts.

● ɢᴏᴠᴇʀɴᴍᴇɴᴛ: She has a bright understanding of the government, and is probably the most politically savvy of her party aside from Nyx. She doesn't seem to be keen on it, because politics have always been necessary, but she also understands that the people need some sort of guidance in their lives to keep from going astray.

● ᴛᴇᴄʜɴᴏʟᴏɢʏ: She has a weird duality about it that borders irritation, most times. She doesn't like having to keep up with it, but she knows how to use a wide variety of it, if need be.

● ʀᴇʟɪɢɪᴏɴ: She doesn't seem to be averse to it, at least. While the culture of her home may not follow a specific deity, she does seem to have a slight reverence, if not appreciation for nature.

● ғʀɪᴇɴᴅsʜɪᴘ: Bonds can mend as well as they can rend. She dislikes the thought of making friends, but when someone worms their way into her Heart, she cares for them with fierce devotion and fiery conviction.

● ʟᴏᴠᴇ: Duty before love and all that jazz. She doesn't seem to be particularly caring about falling for someone like most girls her age would.

● ᴡᴀʀ: She was told all sorts of things about the Keyblade war, and seems to hold a significant amount of disdain for it. While she might like to fight, wars have their place as battles of ideals and, well, those are never quite fair to those caught in the crossfire.

CORE MENTALITY
● ғᴏʀɢɪᴠᴇɴᴇss ᴏʀ ʀᴇᴠᴇɴɢᴇ: Norwin is complicated about it. She's been forgiven easily, and she forgives others if she can be talked through well enough, but otherwise she seems more liable to let someone fall off a cliff if they spite her, instead of letting herself cool off.

● ʟɪғᴇ ᴘʜɪʟᴏsᴏᴘʜʏ: ' But a day at a time. '

● sᴜᴘᴇʀsᴛɪᴛɪᴏɴs: Does it count as superstition if it's been proven as fact? Hard to say.

● ᴘʀᴇᴊᴜᴅɪᴄᴇs: She really hates control freaks. While she doesn't particularly hate Heartless, she isn't idealistic towards them either. RelationshipsNoxic "Upset already, Quicky? "

Suihei " Maybe if you weren't such an idiot... "

Nyx " Alright Cat, keep talking and I might not have to punch ya too hard. "

Enlil "Alright Sunshine, keep talkin' like that, and I'm really gonna have ta burn ya."

Seria : " . . . "

The Holy Order : " Nice. We got a group of Light nuts. "

Health

ＡＩＬＭＥＮＴＳ➜けごが
　　　　　　　　　　▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Norwin's state is one of complete and utter health. In fact, some could consider her beyond healthy, considering her rather prestigious lineage. It is reflective of both her incredibly active lifestyle, and her somewhat strong blood. It can be assumed that her ailments are few, for she doesn't seem to be suffering from any long-term illnesses aside from the occasional cold every so often. Her body and mind remain in peak condition, though at times, she appears to suffer from occasional bouts of insecurity, a lack of trust issues, and a general inability to work with many people. It may stem from her fiercely independent nature, or she may just be so stubborn that the thought of working with others is seen as dead weight to her.

　　　　　　　　ＰＡＳＴＷＯＵＮＤＳ➜けごが
　　　　　　　　　　▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Due to being an adventurer, Nor has learned the importance of remaining as agile as she is proficient with magic. Required to be dexterous and quick on her feet, she has suffered injury all the same from things that just cannot be helped. Because curative potions may soothe the ache of particularly life threatening blows, her tribulations have left little scars. While she learns to be more proficient, it is only inevitable that she'll continue being hurt. At one point in the recent past she was nearly consumed by her own Darkness, but temperance and persistence has allowed her to overcome that hurdle with time.

　　　　　　　　ＡＴＴＲＩＢＵＴＥＳ➜けごが
　　　　　　　　　　▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Norwin certainly proves to be a particularly talented young woman. With a plethora of abilities under her belt, she proves incredibly skilled at making use of whatever she can with as little energy as she can manage in any given moment. She is fast, quite possibly one of the most agile members of her party, and remains at the top of her game through sheer physical duress alone. Her Willpower, is, quite frankly, one of the strongest facets of her personality. She retains a great amount of focus to whatever goal she may have on the table in the moment, and has an ability to think beneath pressure. Norwin is remarkably proficient at making use of both magic and keyblade in order to deliver devastating attacks, and, with the blessing of her eyes, she holds a phenomenal skill in detecting the natural phenomena of the Realms. She seems to have an innate understanding of using her agility as best as she can, providing her an advantage over many due to her almost subconscious manipulation of the environment to benefit her the most. Not only this, but her magical prowess is nothing to snuff at either. Whether it is a natural result from her training, her Awakening, or her lineage is such a melting pot of potential answers. Provided she continues to train these abilities, she has the potential to rival some of the best archmages across the Worlds.

　　　　　　　　ＬＩＭＩＴＡＴＩＯＮＳ➜けごが
　　　　　　　　　　▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
While Nor is incredibly proficient at the art of the spellblade, she does have limits. While confident in her abilities to a certain degree, she holds a distaste for working with others, leading to heads regularly butting with her allies unless the situation proves dire enough for them to band together. She is not immortal - wounds, sicknesses, words - they all have the potential to at least harm her enough to put her out of commission for a short while. She also regularly wrestles with her inner Darkness, which - alongside her insecurity, makes it a regular tug of war to contain herself and master her emotions. As she has yet to reach the age of magical maturity, Nor hasn't quite tapped into the full force of her potential just yet.
Style ; Combat

StatsEndurance » 　60/100 　" Why don't you watch out? "

Her pain threshold proves to be relatively average. While Nor's regenerative factor proves to be a saving grace, it cannot heal critical wounds in a matter of minutes, but instead hours without the assistance of curative spells. While her ability to shrug off pain is still more than the standard human's, there comes a time where she simply must give in to her wounds. While she's remarkable at delivering damage at extreme speeds, she is incapable of tanking physical damage. Because of her agility and strength in both the physical and magical, however, she seldom has to worry about being hit in the first place.

Strength » 　50/100　　　" Shut up and let me fight. "

Compared to the juggernauts that she regularly associates with, Norwin's physical strength seems to leave much to be desired. While she can destroy a Shadow with ridiculous ease, she has a habit of supplementing her strength with mystical arts. As she is a spellblade, she tends to augment her blows with elemental force, permitting her to cause a menagerie of effects depending on her flow of mana. While she can dent steel and cleave through few sorts of Heartless, she seems to be far, far better at just burning them with impunity.

Speed / Reflexes »  85/100  " Can't keep up? "

Norwin has a significantly higher degree of speed than what many people can boast. Few can herald themselves as particularly better than her when it comes to movement, because this is the only thing she generally has, aside from her magic. On that note, her speed has a tendency of translating to her casting speed, allowing her to fire off triple -ga spells with ease and redirect the flow of battle simply by keeping her body pushing forward. To those with excellent eyesight, Norwin still appears to blink across the battlefield, leading to breakneck battles that are simply overwhelming to take sight of.

She is also proficient at detecting, reacting to, and countering attacks with little effort. While she doesn't border the supernatural with many of her abilities, she can at least push someone to aside with apparently minimal exertion on her own part. The only person who seems to exceed he speed is Nyx, but that may just be because of his anomalous nature.

Agility » 　　90/100 　　　" Can't keep up? "

Have little doubt of her ability to traverse even the smallest of areas. She will make the most of what she has, inquiries unneeded. She is quite capable of dodging high speed attacks and making incredible leaps and bounds with no small degree of proficiency on her own part. There is little fear of her ability to traverse even the most difficult of areas, as Nor is more than capable of pivoting on her heels, perform vaults, flips and cartwheels with startling efficiency. Like a feline, many would say she's uncatchable when need be. Like water, she wastes little time in flowing from motion to motion at a breakneck pace.

Magic » 　EX　　　" You're outta luck."

Extremely well-versed in the manipulation of natural phenomena of the World in order to achieve supernatural effects, Nor is a proficient enough mage that has had her skills bolstered by the Keyblade. She does exhibit some unusual traits, involving casting without word or gesture, often without so much of a warning or regard to whomever may be caught in the path of the compressed spells floating around her. This is so she can continue to fight while magic is being cast. Arguably this ability isn't as strong as physically casting it yourself, but the added distraction is surely an added effect to this technique.Nor herself is capable of casting many powerful spells, her understanding of the keyblade giving her a fair amount of time to master and learn many magical techniques. Inherited  from her ancestors, is an ability called Sight, which gives her the ability to see the amount of light within people. Her eyes work differently; depending on how ‘aligned’ someone is to the Light or Darkness, they either appear very cloudy or very bright to her. This also seems to give her a keen sense for several different types of mana, allowing her to subconsciously 'see' patterns of mana before they form - in theory, this would allow her to manipulate magic better. Or, at the very least, react to spells before they lash out.

It is said that Kingdom Hearts is a Promised Land that has been fought for countless times in the past. The Heart of all Worlds, legend has dictated that those who manage to claim the Light of this phantasmal crown of existence will have the ability to twist the realms of Light, Dark, and those-betwixt to their very whim as something akin to a Deity. As time has proven, so long as the legend of this mysterious place continues to pervade the annals of history, there will always be those who seek its power for their own. Yet, in the past, seven bountiful Lights struck down Thirteen Darknesses, and restored Order to the Worlds.

In this golden age, Keybearers rose to a new zenith once more, and prosperity was ensured beneath their guardianship.

A descendant of one of the Seven Lights of the second Keyblade War, and a distant relative of the lone survivor of the Purge of Key, Norwin has had a life filled with many expectations. Marked by the last Keybearer of the realm of Light, hers was a fate that seemed to be written from the start as a Guardian of the Worlds. Because of this, she is haughty, stubborn and proud. Though proud, there is no denying that she is skilled. The guilt her Master held at surviving the Purge is one that has allowed him to push Norwin's training to grand heights. Despite this, she found no small amount of trouble in awakening the power of the Keyblade. Upon seeing the challenges that she faced in waking her power, her Master sent her on a pilgrimage in the hopes that she would Awaken through seeing just what forces she would be protecting.
Throughout the course of her journey, she discovered a truly phenomenal amount of Darkness amassing in the Worlds once more. Seeing this as a trial, Norwin attempted to take it upon herself to investigate potential causes. Along this journey, she eventually came across a startling discovery. A young woman who, for all intents, should not have had a Keyblade. Driven towards spite and anger, her Heart faltered for but a moment, and found itself swayed towards cooperating with Dark forces.
Yet as the first journey came to a close, she realized the errors of her ways, and sought to redeem herself. Now a reluctant ally of those she had once spurned, Norwin, like many children chosen by the Key, has found herself drawn into the eternal war of Light and Darkness.
❝ You should commit this to memory. If you don't want to get burned? Don't stand in my way.  ❞

" Darkness, Light... no matter which path any of us choose, we're all a part of this balance. So it isn't the Darkness that you should be afraid of. It isn't the Light, either. You should be scared of the people that try to use either to their advantage, got it? "

Basic Information
ＴＨＥＢＡＳＩＣＳ

∎ ɴᴀᴍᴇ: Norwin ( ノーウィン ). She seems to fancy her name for relatively asinine reasons. Some people have taken to shortening it, and she seems impartial to that much.

∎ ᴀɢᴇ: Appears 16 [ Act I - Hikari ] -- 16.5 [Act 1.5 / ReBirth ] -- 17 [ Act II - Sanctuary ]

∎ ɢᴇɴᴅᴇʀ: Female.

∎ ʜᴇɪɢʜᴛ:5'6" ( 167 cm )

∎ ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ: Healthy ; she regularly works out and has a strict enough diet.

∎ ʜᴀɪʀ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ: Norwin's hair is a a fiery red. Though normally untamable when she allows it to grow out, the lack of length she seems to favor is definitely something she does to keep it tame. Shoulder length, it seems to have a bit of a curve towards the fringe, not unlike tongues of fire. Resembling something akin to a pixie cut, she generally allows a small portion of her hair to frame the right side of her face in a ponytail.

∎ ᴇʏᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ: A bright shade of sapphire ; in certain lighting, they appear teal, or even seafoam green. A lighter shade of sky blue frames the edges of her irises, giving her a relatively striking appearance.

∎ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅᴛʏᴘᴇ: AB+

∎ ʙɪʀᴛʜᴅᴀʏ: Dates between Worlds are rather hard to get a pin on. Since time flows with such a general gist that can be faster or far slower, dependent on the proximity of the World to Light and Dark, calendars don't have a tendency of translating too well. A general date that seems to match up in several Worlds is February 10th. Which would make Norwin an Aquarius.

∎ ᴏᴄᴄᴜᴘᴀᴛɪᴏɴ: Occupations are a bit difficult to put a name or number to, when it comes to matters that require a Keyblade. In many ways, one could say that Norwin's entire life has revolved around the Keyblade so much, that this is the only thing she has known, and will probably know for quite some time. It has been her goal, her aspiration to become a protector of the Realm of Light. One can't really press for much else, because this is something that she looks at with such unerring conviction that it seems impossible to dissuade her from that route. On her homeworld, her status is something akin to Royalty, albeit, in the loosest of terms.

∎ ᴛɪᴛʟᴇ: The Key of Dusk. | The Left Eye of Light.

∎ ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴsʜɪᴘs: Initially, Norwin didn't have many relationships off the top of her head. Throughout her journeys, she has developed a prominent range of ties ; from friendships, to sponsorships, to rivals and allies. Her Master, though deceased by the time she is 17, appears to hold a great influence on her when it comes to a few personality quirks. Her relationship with her parents prove strained. Whether due to them not quite understanding how much her goals mean to her, or through some form of unsettled resentment. Norwin has never clarified on that either way.

∎ ᴀғғɪʟɪᴀᴛɪᴏɴs: Affiliations are something to play fast and loose by. Radiant Garden's restoration group, The Returners, seem to be the one that she'll be most willing to admit with the least amount of reluctance. The rebel force against the Order of Light has just endeared themselves to her without entirely meaning to.

ＧＲＡＴＩＦＩＣＡＴＩＯＮＳ
∎ ғᴏᴏᴅ: Contrary to popular belief that elves don't have much of an appetite, Nor loves to eat. As she has had the opportunity to travel the Worlds, this appetite has expanded to several unique dishes across the sea of stars. She enjoys sweet foods in particular, and holds a severe enjoyment of spicy meals. Luna berries are a staple in Illuminated Springs, and, much like many of the denizens of the World, she finds the desserts crafted with them to be remarkably delightful, provided that they're grown in just enough light to grow sweet, instead of remaining bitter. Courtesy of her own ( however many times over ) grandfather, seasalt ice-cream has always been a dessert that's settled into her family line as a tradition of sorts.

∎ ᴅʀɪɴᴋ: She has a delight towards water, if only due to the crisp, refreshing taste that it provides. Fruit juices, while natural, seem to be something that she takes special note to stock up on. She has a variety of flavors just packed away in her fridge at any moment, causing others to wonder if it's some kind of addiction on her own part. She enjoys strawberry-banana juice the most. Aside from this, there's a particular berry from her Homeworld that she takes special care to cultivate and make a juice out of. Aside from this, she isn't much of a heavy drinker.

∎ ᴘʜʀᴀsᴇ: " Commit it to Memory. "

∎ ᴍᴜsɪᴄ: Music is something that feeds the soul and soothes the Heart, so it goes without saying that Nor greatly enjoys listening to melodic beats in her down-time. She holds an appreciation for the music of her home, though it certainly isn't her favorite thing to listen to. The violin happens to be her favorite instrument overall.

∎ ʜᴏʙʙɪᴇs: Norwin has always been a good-study. A fan of the stars and a lover of the mystical arts, Norwin tends to enjoy finding decent reads in her spare time. While most people would find the dry text particularly snooze-inducing, she seems to find genuine gratification in the opportunity to challenge her brain. Moreso than that, she does enjoy stargazing, as looking upon the Worlds in the distance has always, always been something so enrapturing to look at. If she was required to actually give a hobby ( through no small amount of teethpulling ), she'd say refining her magical technique! Nyx has attempted to teach her a few of his spells, so she can regularly be seen refining her craft as best as she can. She's also interested in different ecosystems and biospheres, so she tends to study them when she can. Dancing is a good way to release tension, fortune-telling is a good way to freak people out, and she has a mischievous streak that comes and goes in the form of pranking, every once in a blue moon.

∎ ʟᴏᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs: Illuminated Springs is a bountiful world, rich with a culture built on harmonizing without nature. It goes without saying that she enjoys the natural sights of her home more often than not, so places such as forests are just as delightful for her as home is. While she can feel stifled by the lands, Norwin finds that places closely oriented with nature make her more comfortable than the bright cities of larger Worlds. This is not to say that she doesn't enjoy the places that larger cities have to offer, for the malls in few Worlds always seem to draw her attention. The beach has remained a go-to place for whenever she desires to have a bit of relaxation, and she finds the forests surrounding Twilight Town to be some of the more delightful, if not outright pleasant areas to indulge in.

∎ ᴏᴘᴘᴏɴᴇɴᴛs: Norwin has a personal vendetta most creatures that orient themselves towards the Darkness. Or, at least she seems to based entirely on her derisive nature towards Heartless and the like. The reality is something a bit more morbid, and perhaps a little more insightful. She enjoys the thrill of a good fight, the ability to exercise her strength and see how far she has come is one that she just can't afford to pass up in a lot of cases.

∎ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇsᴛs: Norwin doesn't have an interest in romantic endeavors. She is generally far too invested in things like her duties as a Keybearer to even humour the thought of it. Her brusque nature has a tendency of making people feel slighted anyways, so it goes without saying that romance, or, rather, love interests, are things that are far from her scope of her personal goals.

ＡＮＩＭＯＳＩＴＹ∎ ғᴏᴏᴅ: Bitter foods have never particularly been a favorite of hers. Spinach ; the sad truth of the matter is, it has never really sat right with her, so she'll try to avoid it no matter the cost. While she's never gotten sick from it, she doesn't particularly, er... like the taste. Far too bland for her. On that note, bland foods in general are just not for her at all. Pig feet, too. She doesn't really understand why some people eat these?

∎ ᴅʀɪɴᴋ: Nor dislikes the taste of coffee, as it doesn't appeal to her palette. Generally she'll just load it with as much sugar and creamer as possible in order to try to overcome the disgusting aftertaste.

∎ ғᴇᴀʀs: While her fears are normally closely guarded, a bit of insight will reveal that Nor holds a fear of being unable to stand to the legacies that her Ancestors have left behind. Prior to the near extinction of Keybearers, a handful of people from her familial line ( see ; two ) have been marked and awakened, while another was grew to be renown around Illuminated Springs as a particularly powerful Seer. It's a mark of insecurity, basically. At her core, she fears failure, an inability to rise to the expectations her people hold for her, and, initially, a fear of the Darkness within her Heart.

∎ ᴍᴜsɪᴄ: Anything high in pitch tends to annoy her rather sensitive ears.

∎ ǫᴡᴇʀᴋs ᴏғ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀs: Nor finds people that are clingy to be a source of irritation. She doesn't like having people rely on her constantly, so more often than not, she tries to keep herself at a distance so she can do things on her own terms. Ironically, she dislikes the thought of failing others, which generally falls back to her fears.

∎ ʟᴏᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs: She dislikes places that are incredibly dark, as they interfere with her innate ability to use The Sight. While generally, she attempts circumvent this with fire magic, there are simply some places that are too dark to pierce through. Cold and damp places too, if one wishes to get into deep thought about it.

∎ ɪɴᴅɪᴠɪᴅᴜᴀʟs: As she's traveled throughout the Worlds, she's come to garner a dislike for the various assortment of villains that she's met. The Order of Light in particular, seems to be something that she considers a mockery of the balance between the Worlds at large.

∎ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇsᴛs: Really dependent people. She's never gotten along with them too well, apparently.

ＰＨＹＳＩＣＡＬＩＴＹ

ℐdentity – ℭнασтιc gσσ∂;
There are many things that one could say about Nor, when first meeting her, with 'cocky' being a general idea that many have about her on a superficial level. With words that frequently come off as abrasive, and a demeanor that certainly appears indomitable, Nor is a young woman that has seemingly had the privilege of having her confidence shaped by those around her. Unbefitting of what one would expect from what they're told is a strong support system, Nor has a flippant tongue that borders the sharp tongue, and a heated temperament.

In fact, to say that she's a bit of a hothead would be a small truth. In her youth, Nor often struggled with this to a great degree, almost to the point of near constantly picking fights - over time, however, it has merely watered down to a mean competitive streak and a lack of desire towards actually losing in situations that require skills. While, once again, this may come as a surprise, her temper finds its roots in her childhood. Her youth, while far from unkind to her, aided the ( sometimes literally ) explosive young woman's irritable nature by and far. It could be said that this is, more than likely, a part of her tendencies to push others away due to her reservations towards letting others close to her.

Nor, while certainly assured in her abilities as both a Keyblade Wielder and a Seer ( as aforementioned, to the point of near cockiness ), suffers from a superiority complex towards others. As these come together to feed her competitive nature, others can be subjected to being provoked, if not playfully riled into actively seeking to one-up her. So long as she can prove her skill, she's actually not all that bad. Negative experiences have just more or less. . . forced her behavior to gravitate towards being predisposed this way. Much like the youth that she is, Nor will normally refute the claims of others in order to stand by her beliefs - which used to lead to a bullheadedness that clashed with her friend's own stubborn nature constantly.

Yet, if one manages to get beyond the walls that she's built up around herself, they may just manage to be surprised at Nor's amiable nature. For those that manage to become her friend, she has no qualms with moving to the ends of the Earth in order to make sure that they're protected and well off. Her bright mind, and near prodigal nature, lends itself to a common belief that she actually has the skill to back up her confidence in protecting others. As loathsome as it is to believe, Norwin is remarkably friendly, protective, and self-sacrificing for the people that she feels responsible for.

Fiercely loyal, loyal, and devoted to her beliefs, she is one that her friends look to for guidance towards problems that require a more logical perspective. Unwavering in her conviction, the fact of the matter remains that there simply just appears to be little that truly bother her, despite the agitation and gripes that she may claim to have at something.

While letting others in is difficult, Nor is, without a doubt, one that has little qualm with rising to the occasion to meet the circumstances laid before her. She doesn't back down, nor does she ever give in. Her stubborn mind, while sometimes a curse, proves to be a blessing in the face of enemies that others feel hopeless before.

In a way, she acts as an inspiration towards others, even if her tendencies to shoulder her own burdens proves nothing short of frustrating. It's not that she can't ask for help either, but her frustration at spitting such a thing out once more, stems from her youth and the standards she was held to as a heir to the Treasured Eyes, and what was thought to be the remaining key of destiny. The pressure set on her to not only achieve, but to do so in a manner that would set an even higher standard than before, has given form to insecurity, and bitterness. It's a form of Darkness that she struggles with every day. 'What if I'm not good enough?' or 'I could be better' are frequently thoughts that tend to ferment in her mind, if left to brood for too long-

But, overall, she isn't the sullen type of person. After all, why sit in the dark and mope when you can just burn away the doubts?

INNER WORKINGS
• ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ sᴛʀᴇɴɢᴛʜs: Norwin is a phenomenal student and a quick study. While she may be tempted to use power no matter the cost, she also seems to be cunning, resourceful, and incredibly pragmatic when need be. She's not exactly afraid to speak her mind, and truly shines when she has an opportunity to allow her perceptiveness to shine through.

• ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ ᴡᴇᴀᴋɴᴇssᴇs: She is impulsive, haughty, and find many people to not be worth her time or effort. She is not exactly elitist by any means, but her pride can be crippling whenever she needs to work with other people. Those that she trusts may have to deal with the occasional barb, but it seems to wane with enough time.

• ᴠɪᴄᴇs & ᴀᴅᴅɪᴄᴛɪᴏɴs: Unsurprisingly, it can be said that Norwin has more than her fair share of problems with Darkness. She has a habit of using it near subconsciously, and, depending on where she may be in her timeline, it may be a significant boost of strength or a phenomenal struggle that she frequently has to pull herself back from using. Over time she hones and masters it to the point where she has nothing to fear of it, but the point still stands.

● ғᴇᴀʀs & ᴘʜᴏʙɪᴀs: More than anything, does Norwin fear her inability to retain her independence. She has a certain streak about her that makes it difficult to even humour the thought of allowing herself to be subservient to others, and while it happens to be a sore spot of her falling beneath someone's control in the past, her pride has made it so that she wishes to never do so again. She also has feared losing her right to the Keyblade, and cherishes the weapon as a sign of how far she has come.

FEELINGS TOWARD:
● ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ: The Worlds are beautiful place. Rife with curious sights and ecosystems, Norwin seems to be completely enthralled with traversing them so she can fulfill her ancestral duties to the best of her ability. She enjoys learning about cultural heritages and may come off as a bookish sort whenever one works around her readily scathing personality.

● ʜᴏᴍᴇʟᴀɴᴅ: Illuminated Springs, a place that felt like a cage and also home in equal measure. She feels complicated about it, because she's never been the sort to touch on her feelings when it comes to her rank, or the prestige back home. She's more or less content to do her traveling, but she does enjoy the thought of touching on its soils whenever she gets a little homesick. She has an innate, visceral connection with her people, and despite being seen as haughty by offworlders, she adores the natural airs of her home far too much to ever think of relinquishing it for too long.

● ᴛʜᴇ ᴀғғʟᴜᴇɴᴛ: She believes that the rich should go out of their way to use their influence ; if they don't, if they're opulent and wasteful, they should just get out of the way and let her take charge. She dislikes greed with a distinct, keening sort of passion that borders outright spite, animosity, even.

● ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴏᴏʀ: She grew up relatively well-off. Never had to struggle for anything, never had want for anything. So she's pretty content with her lot in life so far. She empathizes with the poor though, and while she might not seem it, can and often does go out of her way to sometimes help them out. Provided they're not too greedy for handouts.

● ɢᴏᴠᴇʀɴᴍᴇɴᴛ: She has a bright understanding of the government, and is probably the most politically savvy of her party aside from Nyx. She doesn't seem to be keen on it, because politics have always been necessary, but she also understands that the people need some sort of guidance in their lives to keep from going astray.

● ᴛᴇᴄʜɴᴏʟᴏɢʏ: She has a weird duality about it that borders irritation, most times. She doesn't like having to keep up with it, but she knows how to use a wide variety of it, if need be.

● ʀᴇʟɪɢɪᴏɴ: She doesn't seem to be averse to it, at least. While the culture of her home may not follow a specific deity, she does seem to have a slight reverence, if not appreciation for nature.

● ғʀɪᴇɴᴅsʜɪᴘ: Bonds can mend as well as they can rend. She dislikes the thought of making friends, but when someone worms their way into her Heart, she cares for them with fierce devotion and fiery conviction.

● ʟᴏᴠᴇ: Duty before love and all that jazz. She doesn't seem to be particularly caring about falling for someone like most girls her age would.

● ᴡᴀʀ: She was told all sorts of things about the Keyblade war, and seems to hold a significant amount of disdain for it. While she might like to fight, wars have their place as battles of ideals and, well, those are never quite fair to those caught in the crossfire.

CORE MENTALITY
● ғᴏʀɢɪᴠᴇɴᴇss ᴏʀ ʀᴇᴠᴇɴɢᴇ: Norwin is complicated about it. She's been forgiven easily, and she forgives others if she can be talked through well enough, but otherwise she seems more liable to let someone fall off a cliff if they spite her, instead of letting herself cool off.

● ʟɪғᴇ ᴘʜɪʟᴏsᴏᴘʜʏ: ' But a day at a time. '

● sᴜᴘᴇʀsᴛɪᴛɪᴏɴs: Does it count as superstition if it's been proven as fact? Hard to say.

● ᴘʀᴇᴊᴜᴅɪᴄᴇs: She really hates control freaks. While she doesn't particularly hate Heartless, she isn't idealistic towards them either. RelationshipsNoxic "Upset already, Quicky? "

Suihei " Maybe if you weren't such an idiot... "

Nyx " Alright Cat, keep talking and I might not have to punch ya too hard. "

Health

　　　　　　　　　　▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Norwin's state is one of complete and utter health. In fact, some could consider her beyond healthy, considering her rather prestigious lineage. It is reflective of both her incredibly active lifestyle, and her somewhat strong blood. It can be assumed that her ailments are few, for she doesn't seem to be suffering from any long-term illnesses aside from the occasional cold every so often. Her body and mind remain in peak condition, though at times, she appears to suffer from occasional bouts of insecurity, a lack of trust issues, and a general inability to work with many people. It may stem from her fiercely independent nature, or she may just be so stubborn that the thought of working with others is seen as dead weight to her.

　　　　　　　　ＰＡＳＴＷＯＵＮＤＳ➜けごが
　　　　　　　　　　▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Due to being an adventurer, Nor has learned the importance of remaining as agile as she is proficient with magic. Required to be dexterous and quick on her feet, she has suffered injury all the same from things that just cannot be helped. Because curative potions may soothe the ache of particularly life threatening blows, her tribulations have left little scars. While she learns to be more proficient, it is only inevitable that she'll continue being hurt. At one point in the recent past she was nearly consumed by her own Darkness, but temperance and persistence has allowed her to overcome that hurdle with time.

　　　　　　　　ＡＴＴＲＩＢＵＴＥＳ➜けごが
　　　　　　　　　　▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Norwin certainly proves to be a particularly talented young woman. With a plethora of abilities under her belt, she proves incredibly skilled at making use of whatever she can with as little energy as she can manage in any given moment. She is fast, quite possibly one of the most agile members of her party, and remains at the top of her game through sheer physical duress alone. Her Willpower, is, quite frankly, one of the strongest facets of her personality. She retains a great amount of focus to whatever goal she may have on the table in the moment, and has an ability to think beneath pressure. Norwin is remarkably proficient at making use of both magic and keyblade in order to deliver devastating attacks, and, with the blessing of her eyes, she holds a phenomenal skill in detecting the natural phenomena of the Realms. She seems to have an innate understanding of using her agility as best as she can, providing her an advantage over many due to her almost subconscious manipulation of the environment to benefit her the most. Not only this, but her magical prowess is nothing to snuff at either. Whether it is a natural result from her training, her Awakening, or her lineage is such a melting pot of potential answers. Provided she continues to train these abilities, she has the potential to rival some of the best archmages across the Worlds.

　　　　　　　　ＬＩＭＩＴＡＴＩＯＮＳ➜けごが
　　　　　　　　　　▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
While Nor is incredibly proficient at the art of the spellblade, she does have limits. While confident in her abilities to a certain degree, she holds a distaste for working with others, leading to heads regularly butting with her allies unless the situation proves dire enough for them to band together. She is not immortal - wounds, sicknesses, words - they all have the potential to at least harm her enough to put her out of commission for a short while. She also regularly wrestles with her inner Darkness, which - alongside her insecurity, makes it a regular tug of war to contain herself and master her emotions. As she has yet to reach the age of magical maturity, Nor hasn't quite tapped into the full force of her potential just yet.
Style ; Combat

StatsEndurance » 　60/100 　" Why don't you watch out? "

Her pain threshold proves to be relatively average. While Nor's regenerative factor proves to be a saving grace, it cannot heal critical wounds in a matter of minutes, but instead hours without the assistance of curative spells. While her ability to shrug off pain is still more than the standard human's, there comes a time where she simply must give in to her wounds. While she's remarkable at delivering damage at extreme speeds, she is incapable of tanking physical damage. Because of her agility and strength in both the physical and magical, however, she seldom has to worry about being hit in the first place.

Strength » 　50/100　　　" Shut up and let me fight. "

Compared to the juggernauts that she regularly associates with, Norwin's physical strength seems to leave much to be desired. While she can destroy a Shadow with ridiculous ease, she has a habit of supplementing her strength with mystical arts. As she is a spellblade, she tends to augment her blows with elemental force, permitting her to cause a menagerie of effects depending on her flow of mana. While she can dent steel and cleave through few sorts of Heartless, she seems to be far, far better at just burning them with impunity.

Speed / Reflexes »  85/100  " Can't keep up? "

Norwin has a significantly higher degree of speed than what many people can boast. Few can herald themselves as particularly better than her when it comes to movement, because this is the only thing she generally has, aside from her magic. On that note, her speed has a tendency of translating to her casting speed, allowing her to fire off triple -ga spells with ease and redirect the flow of battle simply by keeping her body pushing forward. To those with excellent eyesight, Norwin still appears to blink across the battlefield, leading to breakneck battles that are simply overwhelming to take sight of.

She is also proficient at detecting, reacting to, and countering attacks with little effort. While she doesn't border the supernatural with many of her abilities, she can at least push someone to aside with apparently minimal exertion on her own part. The only person who seems to exceed he speed is Nyx, but that may just be because of his anomalous nature.

Agility » 　　90/100 　　　" Can't keep up? "

Have little doubt of her ability to traverse even the smallest of areas. She will make the most of what she has, inquiries unneeded. She is quite capable of dodging high speed attacks and making incredible leaps and bounds with no small degree of proficiency on her own part. There is little fear of her ability to traverse even the most difficult of areas, as Nor is more than capable of pivoting on her heels, perform vaults, flips and cartwheels with startling efficiency. Like a feline, many would say she's uncatchable when need be. Like water, she wastes little time in flowing from motion to motion at a breakneck pace.

Magic » 　EX　　　" You're outta luck."

Extremely well-versed in the manipulation of natural phenomena of the World in order to achieve supernatural effects, Nor is a proficient enough mage that has had her skills bolstered by the Keyblade. She does exhibit some unusual traits, involving casting without word or gesture, often without so much of a warning or regard to whomever may be caught in the path of the compressed spells floating around her. This is so she can continue to fight while magic is being cast. Arguably this ability isn't as strong as physically casting it yourself, but the added distraction is surely an added effect to this technique.Nor herself is capable of casting many powerful spells, her understanding of the keyblade giving her a fair amount of time to master and learn many magical techniques. Inherited  from her ancestors, is an ability called Sight, which gives her the ability to see the amount of light within people. Her eyes work differently; depending on how ‘aligned’ someone is to the Light or Darkness, they either appear very cloudy or very bright to her. This also seems to give her a keen sense for several different types of mana, allowing her to subconsciously 'see' patterns of mana before they form - in theory, this would allow her to manipulate magic better. Or, at the very least, react to spells before they lash out.
