Markrose Hortica

Markrose Hortica was the former ruler of a Flydevin settlement in a canyon that specialized in Twister Winds, up until Fractus Zhantom conquered it. She herself is a specialist in Twister Winds.
==Appearance==
Markrose Hortica is a stout light-skinned woman with green hair that has teal highlights, tied in a large bun ontop of her head. She wears a conventional outfit for Twister Winds adept, consisting of a shirt with poofy sleeves and wind patterns on it as well as teal pants. She wears light green gloves, shoulder guards and shoes, the latter of which have wings on them as well. She herself wears teal wings, a symbol of high status in some Flydevin cultures.
==Personality==
Markrose Hortica, as the former leader of a group of warriors, is rather determined. She can let some nonsense pass by, though she also knows when to tell people to take things more seriously. She is generally considered to have excellent leadership skills. She has great distaste for raiders and invaders, and is quite defensive when it came to her settlement. She encouraged her people to become warriors in order to properly defend the village, though she was strictly against invading other villages. Now that it's been invaded and ruined, Markrose's lost much of her determination and has become rather apathetic and depressive.
==Powers and Abilities==
Markrose Hortica specializes in Twister Winds, giving her great control over the purest form of Wind Arts. She is not neccesarily the strongest Twister Wind adept, despite her position, which was chosen more so for her leadership skills. However, she is still quite skilled at the Twister Winds, and she's also very powerful physically, being able to get Fractus to flinch, which is an impressive feat. Also impressive is her durability - she's managed to tank several hits from Fractus's Menhir without being squished into mush, even if she did end up getting many broken bones from it.
*Twister Push: Markrose can launch large blasts of wind to fling away foes. She can also angle it in such a way that it spins around the foe, causing them to spin themselves.
*Charge Kick: Markrose uses her winds to charge towards the foe at great speeds and deliver a powerful kick to them.
*Flip Kick: Markrose propels herself above the foe and kicks them from the back (or from another direction if applicable).
*Flight: Markrose can fly, like most Flydevins, and thanks to her specialty, can do so at greater speeds than most.
*Wind Agility: While Markrose on her own would be rather weak in speed, her Wind Arts allow her to be more mobile than she appears at a glance, being able to run fast, perform high jumps and propel herself to and away from foes.
==Trivia==
*Markrose's name comes from Markros, which is Swedish for Dandelion. Hortica comes from Horticulture, referring to the shape and color of her hair.
*Markrose hates the nickname Mark, thinking it sounds much too masculine for her. She is, however, fine with the nickname Rose, or any more feminine version of Mark like Markie.
