## History

When Ishshara was little, she lived on the Island of Selva with her family: Her mother Anishari, her sister Ishraya, and her father Hunnaru. Growing up on Selva, Ishshara was exposed to much more than she would have if she had lived in the reclusive Ebony Isles like most of her tribe. Ishshara showed talent for arts at a young age, so her parents decided to enroll her in a school specifically for developing arts. Being one of the few Vaneer, Ishshara felt somewhat out of place, as many Vaneer do not practice any form of combat techniques. In this school is when Ishshara met Kaneera, an Inari who had also been born in Selva. They quickly became friends and helped each other become stronger. Ishshara, soon after graduating, traveled to the ebony Isles in order to become an enchantress and learn the craft of her tribe.

## Abilities

### Potential Manipulation

Ishshara is able to utilize her potential affinity to generate and manipulate potential energy. The art looks like a purple, translucent force.

### Enchantments

Ishshara is able to utilize enchantments, a variation of the potential affinity that only the Vaneer know. Enchantments can only be used at night and are based around using the moon as a source of power. Many enchantments are not suitable for combat due to the time it takes to set them up and the fact that few enchantments have offensive effects. Ishshara, however, has mastered the few combative enchantments she has been able to find or develop herself. Her fighting style is somewhat mystifying and mesmerizing due to the fluidity of her movements and the constant whispers she utters to keep up her enchantments.

### Techniques

* **Seven Moons Chant -** Ishshara is able to utilize the Seven Moons Chant, an difficult and powerful enhancer-style enchanting technique that increases her power in battle. By constantly whispering enchantments under her breath, an aura of translucent energy begins to radiate off her body in thin ghostly wisps. This technique is a multi-facet enhancement that increases both her strength and agility, allowing her to be highly proficient in hand to hand combat. Like all enchantments, the seven moons chant can only be used at night, but is special in that it is one of the few combative enchantments.
* **Moonlight Barrier -** Ishshara sits on the ground and whispers a mantra. After several repetitions a transparent, shimmering barrier surrounds the area and stays active during the night. The barrier is able to keep out powerful threats, but dissipates at dawn.
* **Force Palm -** Ishshara pushes her hand forward with her palm out and fingers together. This sends a wave of force towards her opponent.
* **Radial Wave -** Ishshara can cause a tidal wave of potential energy to flow outwards from her in a circle, blasting her opponents back and flattening everything in its path.
