## History

{Rough Draft/Ideas}

Greenery always seemed to follow Acacia around since she was a young girl. Growing up, Acacia was raised with her endearing father and her protective brother.

Acacia's father, (FATHER), was always known for being a lover for all, no matter the race, and his ability to produce the most beautiful music with any stringed instrument. He was a free spirit, the world was his oyster and he was sure as hell going to enjoy everything that it offered. (FATHER) often frequented exotic bars, picking up a new side piece every night (and sometimes even multiple at once), but this night a woman had caught his eye. She sat in the corner by herself, sipping on some water while she watched the others mingle; and she had been the most beautiful woman he had ever seen...as of yet. He made his way over and slid into the booth and made his moves, both of them finding that they were quite compatible and fell into a deep love. Almost instantly, (FATHER) and his Erahthi lover, (MOTHER), were going to have a child on the way. Most of the time, the pregnancy was great as they spent time getting things ready for the baby, the two completely in love...that is, until a random woman showed up at their door and claimed that she was pregnant with his child.

Acacia's half brother, James, was born before her. Despite (MOTHER)'s complaints about raising the children with (FATHER)'s other wife, she did it anyways and treated James as her own. Acacia's birth took a bit longer than normal pregnancies, taking about 3 years to gestate until it was finally time to be conceived. The triangle of lovers raised the two children as a family until (FATHER)'s attention got pulled once again in the direction of another, leaving the two mothers to take care of the children themselves without his help. Annoyed and impatient, (MOTHER) went into 2 year old Acacia's bedroom one night and placed a green sigil upon her forehead with her magic, the emerald marking melding into her skin until nothing was visible. With a whisper of promise that she would return, her mother disappeared.

The years following it, Acacia started to become familiar with their fathers behaviors; him coming home late at night and having them fend for themselves with whatever was in the fridge, bringing home strange and unfamiliar woman each night whom would disappear the next morning, although sometimes gave a friendly wave to the siblings on their way out. Every time, it caused her brother to show his anger on how neglectful their father was, his behavior causing young James to grow up faster than he should have. When their father would bring home the women, James usually took hold of Acacia's hand and lead her into another room, distracting her with a game or stories while the noise of their fathers actions faded in the background. James mother, (MOTHER#2), often drank away her sorrows or sometimes would be convinced to join (FATHER) and his company upstairs.

Around the age of 10, Acacia began to experience her first true outlook on her newfound powers. She had been outside with James, playing an innocent game of tag, when it had been her turn to hide from James to avoid being 'it'. Not being able to find a well enough hiding space and having nowhere else to turn, Acacia sat on the ground behind a tree trunk and pulled her legs to herself. Just as she had curled into her ball, she felt the magic suddenly surge through her, vibrating through her very bloodstream as her fingers and toes began to tingle. The grass in the yard instantly grew taller, becoming wild and dense; so much so that trying to push through would most certainly be met with extreme difficulty. Her eyes grew wide and she looked at her hands, turning them over as she examined them. Had she actually done that? Frantic calls came from her brother as he pushed his way through, a look of both worry and relief falling upon his gaze once his eyes found her.

Little did they know, this new found magic would change their lives so much.

[From then on, Acacia focused on heightening her ability while James took onto more fixing and tinkering aspects to keep the house up and running while their father ran off most of the days, Acacia providing food for the pair with her newfound abilities.

On her 18th birthday, James had taken her to a special festival that hosted several different blooms of flowers and even a beautiful tunnel that had vibrant, purple hanging wisteria swaying softly in the light breeze. The day mostly perfect, but just as they were about to watch the sunset hit over the horizon on the closing blooms, a familiar earthy scent of magic filled Acacia's nostrils. Turning, she saw her mother, or rather what had been described of her mother over the years. "I have come to keep my promise and bring you back home, my sweet flower," (Mother) explained, reaching out a hand in offering towards Acacia but James stepped in the way, keeping his younger sibling behind him. Her mother laughed at the display. "Do you really think you can keep my own daughter from me? She needs to come home now and stop playing human," Acacia remained behind her brother but grew confused with her words. Stop playing human?

Everything moved faster as Acacia's mother went to grab onto James, attempting to move him out of the way but him instead forcefully removing her hand and standing his ground. Within the next second, he was flung across the field and thorny tendrils wove their way out of the ground and wrapped around Acacia's ankles and hands. James quickly got up and made his way back towards her mother, not giving up. Acacia was forced to watch their battle, but it wasn't much of one as James hadn't been skilled in combat. A few of Acacia's own vines grew from the ground, but they were nothing compared to what her mother had created. With a few more blows, James was knocked just shy of unconscious, just able to watch the next scene with blurry eyes but in Acacia's eyes, her brother appeared to be laying lifeless on the ground now.

Rage filled the young, entrapped girl and several more of her smaller vines rose from the ground. A scream tore through her throat as she expressed her pain, betrayal, anguish and agony over the scene laid out in front of her and she felt the jolt of magic dash through every inch of her body, begging to be released...and she let it. Her vines caught fire, becoming a blazing crimson glow against the darkening purple sky as the flames licked along the deep green of the thorny bristle. With a look that could kill she turns her vines onto her mother, whom in turn attempted to do the same but they were quickly consumed by the fire as it spread. Wrapping up and along her mother, the flames engulfed her and the smell of burning vegetation filled the air as the flames roared with her mothers screams.

Acacia wasn't sure what happened next, her mind had grown blank with her rage and when she finally came to she was sitting stark naked with her knees pulled to her chest; the once beautiful meadow now scorched and charred, while a pile of ash laid collected in front of her bare feet. Her face was covered in soot with lines clearing the way down her cheeks from her tears. She could sense her brother nearby, hesitant to approach her after what he had probably seen but Acacia stayed in her hunched over form, unable to move or process what exactly had happened. Finally gathering the courage, he went and gathered her into his arms and carried her back home.

The next few days passed in a blur, James doing his best to tend to his emotionless sister; feeding her, bathing her, consoling her, making sure he was always there for her. Finally, on the fourth day all of the emotions and memories crashed down upon her as her body finally got the energy to understand what she had done. Curling up into the bed and into James' awaiting arms, she cried until her eyes were sore and she felt as though her heart were to give out. The next following week, Acacia slowly became herself again with her brothers help and within a months time, she was back to her usual vibrant self but with the darkening thought of what she had done looming in the back of her mind. Acacia refused to use her powers again.

A year passed and James had decided that he wanted to enter into the military, wanting to be stronger and to hopefully encourage Acacia to join him to strengthen her own magic that she had since abandoned. Acacia agreed to join him, less so for her own training and more for the reason that she could see just how much this meant for her brother.

During their time spent at the military encampment, their experiences were quite difference from one another; James being popular and skilled in his trainings, typically being the top of his class and getting along with his other team members while Acacia on the other hand was unless with the gun training she had been given and was awkward around the others in her quadrant, often becoming the target of throwing the more tedious and repetitive tasks that no one else seemed to want to do.

On a rather sunny afternoon, Acacia was out on the grounds cleaning, she was summoned to the commanders office. When she arrived, she was told to sit and was explained that they had found an article that described her and wrote about the incident that had happened to her mother years ago. A chill ran down her spine as she gazed upon the screen, a picture of her bare but censored body curled up in the center of the torched ground...she tried to deny that that was her, but the commander refused to believe her lie. They wanted to start tests right away, to study her magic and the potential it could hold to use for their own advantage. She explained that she doesn't do that type of magic anymore and he brought up that that was the only thing she seemed to be good at and if she didn't do this, she would be removed from the squad. Disheartened, she agreed to try out some tests, knowing that if she left then her brother would attempt to leave as well. She didn't dare tell her brother of their demands.

The first test was the worse. They started with questions about her ability and when she first came to realize that she had it, and then brought her into a white room; nothing in it besides a twin pair of metal bracelets. They connected the bracelets to her arms and ankles, then left the room. A quiet hum seemed to fill the air as holographic shackles come out of the bracelets and connected to the white wall. "Begin your abilities," A male's voice filled the room and tears filled Acacia's eyes, her body shaking as the power within her remained hidden. "I can't," She replied back, tugging against her restraints. A sharp noise sounded and suddenly a sting of pain throbbed through her arm. Her eyes found a bullet wound that had pierced just past her shoulder, grazing her skin and causing a small sliver to begin to pool crimson. She cried out, tears filling her eyes and spilling over as she tried to reach for her arm to cover it but couldn't. "Begin your abilities," The voice repeated and Acacia gulped back another cry. With a shaky hand, she points to the ground and raises her arm, a tiny sprout beginning to pierce through the white covered floor. The small amount of magic felt nice through her body, like a warm embrace from an old friend but she didn't want to give into it, she didn't want to become that monster again. "More." Another pain surged through her body, this time having been fully shot in the thigh of her leg. Acacia screamed out in pain, her eyes becoming bloodshot as the tears flowed more freely. With her cry, the tiny sprout burst upwards, crashing through the ceiling as what now took the space was a rather large wisteria tree. Acacia panted as she dangled from the chains, her body weak from the stream of magic that had just erupted from her.

## Appearance

Acacia has a fit frame, although busty, and stands at a rather short height of only 5'2", while weighing in at about 135lbs. She has a heart shaped face with large, deep hazel eyes that seem to always glisten with curiosity. She has medium umber hued hair that flows smoothly down her form, with short bangs that frame her face. With her nature abilities, she usually keeps a white flower with a light green ribbon tied to a section of her hair that was pulled into a small braid, sometimes looping a green fabric into the braid itself.

Before joining the Hammerhead Company, Acacia wore a white tank top with a keyhole cut on the chest and tucked this into a short, navy blue pleated skirt. On her waist, she wore a thick leather belt, along with a band below that allowed a tiny stuffed teddy bear to hang from. On her legs, she wore matt black leggings that connected into flat shoes, that had a green outsole. On her thigh, she wore a leather strap that held a small knife. Over this attire, she wore a, heavy jacket that appeared to be the mix of a doctor's laboratory coat and rain jacket; the inside having a patterned green with the outside being completely white with some spots remaining clear. Acacia can be seen returning to this attire when she is trying to remain anonymous from the Hammerhead Company.

Joining ranks of the Hammerhead Company, Acacia's new and up-to-date attire was a bit more risque. The top of her garment was white with a green trim, lining the large sweetheart cut out, with a matching white collar with a green clasp. This tunic was slipped inside a high waisted, black skirt that had a large slit, revealing the complete left side of her leg. On the skirt, there were two buttons that were closer towards her bust, while on the side of the skirt held a silver lining. Peek-a-booing from under the skirt was a light green fabric. On her waist, she wore a brown band that allowed a tiny stuffed teddy bear to hang from.

Acacia's swimsuit was rather plain two-piece. The top of her swimsuit tied at her neck and behind her back, with a lining of white flowers. On her bottom rested a rather scandalous cheeky set of white swim bottoms, but she usually covers this with a white skirt coverup. Acacia lets her hair flow freely, keeping the small braid but instead of a ribbon, she pops a few light blue flowers into her hair. On her wrists, she wore bracelets of matching blue flowers.

Acacia's formal attire was one that was rarely seen, not often finding herself at formal occasions to reveal it. This garb was a beautiful, floor length, form-hugging gown with a gradient of lime green to castleton green, with the depiction of french pink colored roses flowing down the front side of the dress. Letting it sag, around her arms rested a near transparent, white over 'coat', with long flowy pieces of fabric that moved easily with her steps. A large slit on either side of her legs exposed the band of her black garter underneath, connecting to a pair of dark tights. On her feet, she wore white heels that clasped around the top of her ankle. Her hair flowed freely down her back, aside from a side being pulled back with a golden clasp. On her ears, she wore earrings with matching green tassels hanging from the golden clasp.

## Personality

Overall, Acacia is a rather shy and meek person at first, and is typically quiet in social groups. She can usually be found hanging in the back of the group rather than being up front, unless she is keeping close to someone she knows and trusts. She usually doesn't hold a mean bone in her body and tries to find the good in everyone, but even the extend of her kindness has her limits and should her close ones be threatened, she will do whatever she must to keep them safe. She is loyal through and through, which makes her believe that the people around her put in the same effort. Acacia is a bit gullible but trusting. She isn't one to really care for combat, but understands that sometimes is necessary, so she focus' her abilities on keeping her friends safe to the best of her ability. This all said, she is easily swayed by her emotions and is quite stubborn. Acacia is a very curious individual, this trait often leading her into trouble that her brother often saves her from.

* Introverted
* Pertinacious
* Benevolent

Acacia shows quite a bit more of her hidden personally when interacting in settings where she feels fully comfortable, i.e being in the presence of her brother or others that are close to her. She has a light soul; always wanting to make the people dear to her smile, laugh and feel safe. She is deeply caring and sentimental, holding gifts and precious moments close to her heart. She doesn't drink alcohol often, but when she does she becomes loose and goofy, often becoming the life of the party and will even embarrass herself to put a smile on everyone's faces.

* Altruistic
* Tenderhearted
* Compassionate

Acacia is a hopeless romantic but doesn't seek out anything, due to the fear of rejection, so she can usually be seen reading romance novels in her off-time. She holds a deep love for mother nature, what has mostly been forgotten with the advanced technology in the world, and can also be seen tending to her skilled magic with creating nature in the lab for new medicines and tending to the plants she placed for decoration on the ship. She supplies most of the exotic fruits on deck of the Hammerhead Company's ship.

To find Acacia, she can usually be found within the lab on deck of the Hammerhead Company's ship or in her mysterious room on the ship.
