Name: Zenova Quain
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: 5'4 on the stocky side. Pale with freckles that form upside down pyramid patterns on her cheeks. Looks like she hasn't had a good night sleep in some time, dark circles around eyes. Grey-green eyes with orange around the pupil. Short, Choppy, copper hair dyed pink at the ends with a short braid in front of her right ear. Woven in this braid is a bead chain with what looks like a miniature dream-catcher on the end (her Fullbring object). She has a scar across the bridge of her nose which she tries to hide with the bridge of her small tinted glasses. Clothing wise she will wear pretty much anything but leans towards comfortable clothing with an older style. (here is a quick drawing:
she is on the left and here is another drawing this time she is on the right:

Personality: She speaks in an old fashioned almost dusty way but can become quite energetic when talking about historical objects and antiquities. She comes across as strict, easy to anger and older than she really is, though when she sees something she likes she seems almost too childlike.
History:
Quick version (See bottom for detailed):
Her parents were attacked while on an archaeological surveying trip of a burial site. The Hollow that attacked them was originally a soul who wanted to protect the site. Luckily her parents lived due to a shinigami turning up. The fight damaged the site and when the Hollow realised what it had done it lamented giving the shinigami an opening to defeat it. An object fell from the Hollow and the mother decided to keep it as a memento – it was a fine beaded chain with what looked like a miniature dream-catcher on the end, all in mostly green and gold.
Zenova was unknowingly born a Fullbringer because of what happened to her parents. She is drawn to the memento her mother kept and is eventually given it. She calls it the dream-catcher charm. Her family continues to travel taking her along with them on their archaeological trips. As trips can be dangerous she learns early to obey rules and does her best to follow them.
She discovers her powers at the age of 8 when lost in some catacombs and uses it to retrace her steps. She lets her parents know of her powers and they remain loving towards her.
She slowly develops her powers but doesn't use them in battle until she is 13 when she battles against a Hollow that has attacked and killed two of her parents' friends. A shinigami comes to her aid to fully defeat the Hollow and explains that they think she might be a Fullbringer. The friends of her parents left behind a baby boy which as the god parents they take in. Zenova helps look after her new baby brother - thus becoming more adult like as she takes on more responcibilities.
While things are peaceful for a time Zenova starts noticing those she calls 'supernatural' more and more (things like Hollow and Shinigami). Soon she is no longer going unnoticed herself and she becomes a target. Fearing this might endanger her family she wants to be allowed to leave them but she is still a child and her parents don't feel she should go just yet. They compromise that she can leave at 16 and to protect her family for the time being she keeps herself shut away indoors in accommodation close to but separate from that of her family. While in self seclution she spends a lot of time with her own collection of objects.
At 16 she leaves her family to go looking for more answers but mostly to protect her family by not drawing danger to them. She keeps in touch with them and still relies on their money but she does take on part time jobs where she can.
At 17 she met a Bount called Ranukis who is hiding in plain sight as a singer. They did not battle but expressed dislike towards each other. They keep bumping into each other on their separate paths and are prone to arguing about this though they do not engage in battle.
Now 18 she continues to travel gathering more experience and knowledge. She is still an incomplete as she has not reached her full potential.
Extra: She likes sour sweets and spicy food. Doesn't like feeling trapped. She probably gets her way of speaking from all the dusty old books she enjoyed reading.
*Fullbring*
Fullbring Name: Dream-Catcher Charm
Fullbring Focus Object: A delicate bead chain that ends in a miniature dream-catcher. The colours of the beads and threads used are mostly golds and greens.
Fullbring Powers:
Catching Dreams – Allows Zenova to see what the target desires. Sometimes it can be silly things like food if someone is hungry but at best she can see what someone truly aspires to be (like an astronaut) or something they ultimately desire to do (such as save someone). What looks like a thin thread shoots out from the dream-catcher and latches onto the target. Once the desire is gathered it releases from the target.
Hope's vision – Allows her to give a moral boost to those she knows the desires of. Making them feel as if their desire is close at hand. This is done by manipulating the target's senses to trigger reactions relating to that desire in their mind. It can result in mild hallucinations of one form or another but generally leaves the target feeling good. Again fine threads must make contact.
Crushed Dreams – Allows her to do the opposite of Hope's vision. Stimulating the target's senses to create negative feelings and loss of hope. Again fine threads must make contact.
Chain of Dreams – Transforms her Dream-catcher into a weapon. It becomes a lot larger like a chakaram on a chain. She can swing this around for physical battle and to also get the dream-catcher closer to the target to use its other abilities (the ones relying on threads). The dream-catcher section of the weapon is actually sticky and larger enough to get parts of people's bodies stuck to it so Zenova can tug them around (if she is strong enough – she could also end up getting pulled to the target by the target).
Dreams to Nightmares (Can't do this yet just putting it down as she will potentially be able to in future) – One of her few actual physical attacks. She manifests the desire of the target and corrupts it some way in an attempt to instil fear. She can then attack the opponent with it.
Other than that she pretty much doesn't have many physical attacks though she is prone to causing objects to revolt – fall on people, move out from under people – when she is mad at them.
History more details: When her parents were attacked it was on an archaeological trip. Both parents worked as part of an archaeological team travelling the world and helping with various museum projects. Very much into the preservation of artefacts feeling each one must have many memories. While exploring what seemed like a standard burial site helping with plotting the area onto a map for further study they found themselves under attack from a hallow who had previously been a soul who wanted to protect the burial site. They sustained injuries but noting fatal as a shinigami turned up to deal with the hollow. The fight tore up part of the burial site and seeing what it had done the hollow lamented and in its moment of turmoil was destroyed. Still conscious the mother notices a small object fall from the hallow and reach out to take it. It was a delicate bead chain with what looked like a dream-catcher on the end of it, mostly in golds and greens. Having heard why the hollow was there in the first place she felt bad for the soul who had become such a beast and decided to keep the object. When Zenova was born her mother would always tell her the story of how she got the object and Zenova was pretty much entranced by the delicate creation that when she was old enough to speak she started to ask for it. Her parents waited for when she would hopefully be old enough not to accidentally break the artefact that was a symbol of one of the strangest event they had ever been part of but eventually they relented. She immediately felt a deep connection forming between herself and the artefact but at the time did not know what it meant as was not aware of her powers at all.
They had of course continued to travel as Zenova grew up. All three of them travelling the world. Zenova learnt to follow rules fast as it could be dangerous not to in parts of the world. She also became as enamoured with antiquities as her parents were. The draw of old objects full of memories was hard to resist. She wished to know as much as she could about the history of these objects so dictated herself to study from a young age and did what ever she could to help her parents. It wasn't until she was 8 that she realised her power. She got lost in some catacombs and was having trouble getting back to her parents. Desperate she begged for something to help her unknowingly tapping into her connection with the souls inside all things. Her need to be found resonated into souls around and created a faint glowing path that retraced her steps like markers. She soon started to realise that she could manipulate other objects and started to test her powers. Not fully understanding what exactly allowed her to do such things but in the end she came to the conclusion that there was a substance that existed in all matter that she could take advantage of. She mostly ended up using her abilities to move stuff around and find objects in the clutter of the various temporary accommodation her and her parents stay in while travelling. She told her parents of her abilities and while they are unsure of how to deal with the situation they still love and support her.
At the age of 13 is when she first started to use her abilities for combat. She was going with her parents to visit some old friends of theirs who were celebrating their child's first birthday. As her parents were the god parents to the child and were in the area they made time to visit. Instead of a warm welcome they were greeted by tragedy. Upon arriving at the home they found the door broken off its hinges and inside their friends were already dead killed by a hollow who was cumbersomely trying to get up the stairs to the crying baby. Before her parents could stop her she engaged the hollow. Luckily it wasn't all to bright or strong allowing her to keep it on the ropes until a shinigami came and finished it off. Of course after everything was over she became very upset and yelled at the Shinigami demanding why they couldn't have been here sooner and that people were dead, their dreams shattered because of them not showing up sooner. Of course she understood really that there were probably reasons the shinigami had not gotten there before hand and was actually grateful when the Shinigami apologised and did their best to comfort her. The kindly shinigami took her back to her parents who had called the police not knowing what else they could do and simply reported it as some sort of attack. While they waited for the police to arrive the Shinigami explained that they thought Zenova might be a Fullbringer. The shinigami left when the police arrived and the baby was put into the god parent's care. Of course the police could do nothing to help catch the 'criminal' who was already dealt with. After the funeral her parents decided to keep the baby, so now Zenova had a little brother to help look after.
Things were peaceful for a while but Zenova started to notice things like hollows and shinigami more and more. Usually she stayed out of such battles not really sure what her powers meant in the larger scheme of things. Was she someone meant to fight these Hollows or was she just someone was abilities. Soon though it was hard to go unnoticed herself and she became a target. After getting into a few battles and realising that she was the objective and not her family or those around her she decided that she had become a danger to her family. After a fierce argument with her parents about the fact that she couldn't risk being with them any longer but them reminding her of the fact that she was still only a child. She relented to wait until she was 16 but locked herself away indoors so not to be spotted outside and also to be allowed to stay in separate accommodation nearby so that there would be less chance that her family would be linked to her by potential threats. She became very closed off alone with her own collection of antiquities. She carefully honed some of her skills trying to keep things on the down low so not to attract unwanted attention.
Finally at 16 she was allowed to leave her parents completely and go off on her own journey to find out more about Fullbringers and other things. At this time she also starts wearing the dream-catcher charm in her hair. She doesn't mind to much about not knowing just so long as she can travel without fearing she may endanger her family. She keeps in touch with them through various means and is still reliant on their income though she makes her own where she can through part time jobs. A year into her travels she came across a man she learnt to be yet another supernatural. This time a Bount. Luckily the encounter did not result in her death as the Bount at the time had just fed and was trying to keep body counts to the minimum as he wants to keep attention from himself. The Bount was Ranukis who hides in plain sight as a singer called 'The Count'. After their small exchange the two have found it rather infuriating that they keep running into each other as they have decided they hate each others guts though they don't really want to have a full on battle to end each others lives.
Now 18 Zenova continues to travel still gathering more information and experience from the various supernatural she meets. She is still an 'incomplete' as she has not realised her full potential.
