Skin Color: Pale White

Personality: Before the whispers of fate could push her toward madness, Sephora maintains an outwardly aloof and professional demeanor during her time at Shinra, known for hardly mingling with anyone. Friendly towards Angeal Hewley and Genesis Rhapsodos, while being indifferent toward her fans. She can act humane and caring in contrast to her reputation, befriending Zack over their shared reluctance to hunt down their friends, their desire to bring them back, and asking Cloud how he felt to be back in his hometown, having no similar experience herself. Sephora is intelligent and respects those she deems worthy—she considers Professor Gast a great scientist but scorns Professor Hojo. Well-spoken and graceful, Sephora is calm, collected, and in control. She has a dry sense of humor. Sometimes, she can be frustrated and caught off-guard. As the strongest SOLDIER, Sephora is confident to the point of arrogance, yet has no interest in personal glory, as she tells Genesis, who envies Sephora's reputation, that he can have it.

Weakness: Sephora doesn't have what she'd consider to be any form of Martial weakness, though she has a soft spot for children, dogs, and Chocolate Malt Ice Cream.

Profession: SOLDIER: 1st Class

Weapons: She wields the Masamune (usually two-handed), a seven-foot-long ōdachi she is rarely seen without. Her battle stance with the sword is to hold it over her left shoulder with the blade curving downward.

Armor: The only hardened armor she wears are Mithril Shoulderplates, the rest is materia-woven fabric. Offers modest resistance to direct magic, but no real practical physical defense. ( Poor ( 4 ) defense against all magic except mind, bardic, and some soul )

Items: White Materia (Holy - She does not know the purpose or true nature of this keepsake.)

Skills: Weapon Specialist - Jumping/Leaping - Tumbling - Resist Domination - Military - (Leadership? Not sure on that one.)

Sephora posses no innate spellcasting abilities, however, when possesing Materia, is able to channel the knowledge contained within to spellcast at an initiate level.  At this point, she would have three functional and one non-functional materia.  Fire - Aero - Healing - White (HOLY-Nonfunctional)

I realize that puts this potentially problematic design outside some of the requisites for spellcasting, but at the same time creates a potential weakness and liability into the character, as they are objects that she carries, they can thusly be taken away for narrative purposes, or by clever opponents to hamstring her. With character progression split between Sephora herself or the Materia growth, it would also slow her progress into higher tiers of relative power, while allowing her to still grow with time.

As for special abilities, I'd like to petition for Lifestream Resistance, not by way of understanding and compatability with the Lifestream, but by the very nature of unnatural creation, her hybrid nature and the nature of Jenova Cells in particular making -her- destructive to the Lifestream, rather than the reverse.
