Physical Description:
Blair typically enjoys a variety of clothing. She hates wearing the same thing too many times, but she has been known to choose favorites when it comes to styles. More often than not, Blair can be seen wearing a very casual outfit comprised of a normal shirt, jeans or shorts, and average shoes. She has always appreciated designer products, but most of the time she goes for functionality over price. Most girls would either applaud or frown at her for her choices, but she never cared about that. If it fit her personality, she would wear it. Accessories were few and far between since she focused mainly on complimenting her favorite bracelet and pair of earrings. However, one exception to the ‘comfy clothes’ rule is her favorite red dress. She doesn’t hate being formal and actually enjoys dressing up when she can, but she thinks of it as more of a hassle than anything else. Since she looks a bit younger than the age she really is, she found she could pull of younger clothing much more often than most of the other ladies around her. She didn’t mind that, though, because it meant that she could wear things like sweatshirts or other such warm items. Blair did, in fact, have a large collection of sweatshirts, after all. What young woman doesn’t?
Even though the red dress is featured, that would not be the outfit of choice for Blair. Instead, beginning with her shirt style, she would more than likely be donning a casual, light pink sweatshirt. The colors vary, though. The material would be thin as to not get too hot during the summer time, but since she is so small, she can easily wear it with little to no overheating effects. The hood in the back rests flat against her body, which is preferable for her because it stays away from her hair. It has the usual kangaroo pocket in front where her hands can take refuge and hide whenever she doesn’t feel like offering them to anyone, which is almost always unless she feels comfortable. On the back of the sweatshirt is her signature snowflake symbol, pressed on with black vinyl lettering to make it more noticeable. The symbol was meant to represent her own self, she thought, and Blair personally identified with it for other unknown reasons. Perhaps it was just visually appealing to her, so she adopted it into her life. This symbol can be seen on a few other outfits of hers, always placed directly in the middle of the back of whatever top she is wearing. Her whole wardrobe appearance gives off more of an innocent vibe to go with her small frame. Though she hates being so small, she tends to mind less when wearing larger clothing.
Blair’s usual shorts of choice are casual denim. They have sewn edges around the legs and no raggedy-looking areas such as rips or cuts. In fact, unlike most shorts worn by teenagers or other women younger than her, Blair’s happen to be more of the presentable types when in public or around important people. If she simply changed her shirt to be a little nicer, the shorts would only enhance the effect. They looked nice even though they were still denim, so they didn’t give off any inappropriate feelings. Over the left pocket is a bit of a piece of lace that acts as nothing more than a decoration for the shorts, but it is an interesting coffee-stained shade of white. Blair did not add this to the shorts herself, but rather it was already attached when she purchased them. Another fairly typical type of pants for her to wear is a pair of black leggings. These leggings are a little thicker than usual since they are made of cotton material and they reach down to her mid-calf. On colder days, Blair would much prefer to wear these pants than anything else because it saves her any potential shivering that she may have to suffer through. She also doesn’t hate the fact that it shows off her butt and leg shape pretty nicely, so she can’t complain. Occasionally, she may pair the leggings with the denim shorts together.
Next on the list of items to describe are her shoes. Blair goes from wearing sandals to flip-flops to sneakers to whatever she wants depending on the weather. During the winter or fall, Blair enjoys wearing brown or black leather riding boots. Her favorite pair is one that her family got her for Christmas once. They are designer, of course, and were made by Michael Kors. These boots reach up to just below her knee and have a slight heel of about an inch. She wears a size 6, generally, so finding shoes in her size are tough. The zipper is on the inner side of the boots and a beautiful golden Michael Kors logo can be seen from each of them on the opposite side of the zippers. During spring and summer, Blair loves wearing sandals and flip-flops. Her favorite pairs of each include sandals that are flat with black filigree-type straps that cover the top of her foot as one strap wraps around the back of her ankle, keeping the shoe on more easily. The flip-flops vary, but she likes wearing this one pair that is also flat and has two pairs of straps. The first of the pair fits as an average flip-flop’s strap would fit as it stays between the big toe and the second toe. The other strap actually bridges over Blair’s foot near the middle where the bottom of the first strap would connect to the shoe.
In regards to the dress that has been featured, Blair typically wears something like this when she is out enjoying herself on a date or just getting a fancy dinner in general with family. The hat she sports was actually a hand-me-down from her mother that she cherished since she was a child. Her mother never made anything special out of it and neither did Blair, but it is still precious to her. The hat is colored with a very light, pastel pink with a bright red bow intertwined around the bottom and tied neatly towards the back of her head on her right side. The ribbons from the bow hang down low and get caught in the wind easily. She has a similar red ribbon tied around her neck, as well. She wears shoulder-reach gloves that match the color of her hat, which were also handed down from her mother. The dress she wears is strapless but fits her figure so closely that it doesn’t even move. She never has to adjust it, thankfully. But the dress is also a bright red color, matching both ribbons that she has on. It also has another ribbon that ties in the back right at her lower waist. Underneath the dress is a kind of fabric that keeps it from sticking to her from static electricity and is called a ‘slip.’ This fabric is also the same pink color as her gloves and hat. The shoes that she would wear with this are red, four-inch pumps.
Blair’s figure, as mentioned, is small. At only 4'10” and weighing about 88 pounds, she appears to be nothing more than a little kid. She does look a few years younger than she truly is, but that didn’t bother her. She just figured that it was a compliment because she would much rather look younger than older. Besides, makeup was a magical thing. She took incredibly good care of herself and worked out often, so her physique was to-die-for. Her stomach was toned, along with just about every other muscle she had. However, she was picky when it came to toning. She was very careful when working out in the beginning, because while she wanted to get stronger, she didn’t want to get bigger. She was a girl and she wanted to stay feminine as much as possible. Aside from that, her hair was a beautiful, natural golden blonde that was layered so when she wore it in her usual side-ponytail, parts of her hair would reach her shoulders, making it appear longer in just one area. Blair’s face has a young look to it, but someone could easily tell that she belonged in either late high school or early college. Again, makeup exists. It was smooth and relatively tan in color along with the rest of her body because she did enjoy being in the sun.
When talking about accessories or additional, semi-permanent parts of her body, Blair could mention having a few piercings. She has two in each ear for a total of four lobe piercings and always has earrings in them. The two back holes almost always sport a beautiful gold pair with small diamonds while the front two housed larger earrings such as pearls or anything of the sort. She also has one in her upper left ear's cartilage, which is also known as her helix. The earring that occupies that spot is an average stud with an opal inside it. Her final piercing is actually her naval, but she rarely ever shows that one off. She never removes her diamond earrings since they are the source of her power, and her only other accessory is a beautiful bracelet that she never takes off. She enjoys having that much jewelry, especially since she needs a few things to distract people from her slightly average breast size. Blair wears a comfortable 32B-cup bra and doesn’t really mind much, especially since she wears baggy shirts most of the time, anyway. She does get slightly embarrassed when it comes to guys looking at her, because not only does she not understand why they would look at her, but she is always afraid they are staring for the wrong reasons. Blair was confident in herself because she wanted to be, but she never personally saw herself as beautiful. Anyone looking at her, however, would think she was gorgeous. She took care of herself and it showed.
One unique feature that she quite enjoys, though, are her eyes. They are this unual shade of red that resemble a fresh rose directly cut from a bush outside in someone’s grandmother’s garden. Blair is unsure of how she was able to get this eye color when she was born, but technically speaking, eyes can be any possible color. They are considered mutations if they deviate from the norm, but it is possible. Elizabeth Taylor had purple eyes, didn’t she? Blair always admired Elizabeth Taylor’s unique irises, as well. They were a lovely addition to her already-beautiful face. Although, one thing about her that should be mentioned is her teeth. Blair has always had a strange phenomenon when it came to her canines. Both her upper and lower canines were slightly elongated, though the upper ones were elongated more so than the lowers. She had seen some people in her life who shared this trait with her, so she tended to think nothing of it. But since her small body had a habit of accentuating size differences, her sharp fangs were more noticeable than most others. She loved smiling and being happy but she avoided opening her mouth too much because people around her would stare. She preferred not having too much attention on herself.† [smear:FF0077]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/smear:660077] †
Dislikes:
✖ - Tomato Juice - Since Blair has those enlarged canines, people often made fun of her and called her a vampire or a demon. She was neither, of course, but she developed a harsh distaste for tomato juice as a result since they would always tease her with it. She still enjoys tomato soup, though.
✖ - Bullies - At a young age, Blair was heavily mistreated by other kids because of how she looked. She was quite an adorable little girl, but she was never able to convince anyone otherwise. Getting out of grade school was the best thing to happen to her.
✖ - Insults - Though she may dislike them, Blair has also been known to dish them out. She can easily ignore them when insults are directed towards her, but she becomes enraged when they are thrown at her friends.
✖ - Basements - She and her sister were kidnapped and only Blair was able to escape. This harsh memory and lack of knowledge on what happened to her sister cause her grief.
✖ - Bugs - Yo, bugs are hella gross. But moths and butterflies don't count as bugs.
✖ - Silence - Some people enjoy some peace and quiet, but Blair does not. If things are too silent, she becomes easily startled and she never likes acting out of line like that.
✖ - Books - This needs to be explained a bit. Some books are okay. Blair has only been known to like about two or three complete series of novels and has read maybe five complete series total, but unless it's manga or some kind of comic, she doesn't look twice unless she has to.
✖ - Bad Movies - More often than not, she'll just fall asleep while watching a movie that she doesn't like. She goes to movies to be entertained!
✖ - Cold Weather - Blair is very petite. She can't really avoid being cold, but she does her best to. Summer and late Spring are the best times.
✖ - Arrogance - Confidence is one thing, but arrogance is an entirely different story. If someone thinks they can walk up to Blair and preach about how wonderful and different they are because they don't think of her as dangerous, she can see right through it. That's not being genuine.
✖ - Awful Cooking - Blair is an eater. She will eat just about anything and try it at least once, but if it's made badly and she happened to like that dish, she'll be upset.
✖ - Turkey Stuffing - Other people seem to enjoy this odd excuse for a stuffing but Blair always thought it tasted sort of dry and bitter.
✖ - Writing Letters - Writing the actual letters is fine but it's mostly sending cards in responses to presents as 'thank you' type things. Isn't that sort of implied?
✖ - Being Late - Blair is someone who is perpetually on time and expects the same out of others. In fact, unless someone is early, they're late.
✖ - Being Alone - Sometimes it's nice but Blair is a fairly social person despite having severe social anxiety. She's working on it.
✖ - Strangers - Blair was never a huge fan of strangers since she's shy, but she can usually work herself up to talking to them if she has to.
✖ - Liars - While some lies are excusable, what cannot be excused are lies that greatly affect Blair's relationship with someone. She doesn't have the patience for it.
✖ - Bossy People - There is a polite and mature way to establish orders. When power is abused, Blair has a problem with it. Don't yell at her, just speak calmly.
✖ - Backstabbers - This is more of a given since no one likes backstabbers, but Blair hates when she feels completely safe with someone and later learns that trusting them was the wrong choice.
✖ - Exams - Anything that causes anxiety is not okay. She desperately tries to avoid it by preparing as much as possible but exams are just not a fun experience.
✖ - Sweating - Such a thing is very unlady-like and awkward, especially when it starts dripping down someone's back.
✖ - Difficult Hair - Keeping everything neat and styled is important when it comes to impressing people, so when hair is being difficult, that just makes everything harder.
✖ - Procrastination - Blair mostly hates this because she always does it. Habits are hard to break.
✖ - Drugs - Medicinal drugs are okay but why would anyone want to waste their time with it for recreational purposes? She never understood.
Likes:
❤ - Music - Most types of music are great because the sound has such a wonderfully calming effect. That, and she loves imagining scenarios to go along with the music as if they were themes.
❤ - Gossip - Who doesn't want to know everything juicy going on in the world? Blair loves the fact that she's easy to talk to because then she gets all the dirty deets.
❤ - Stuffed Toys - The child inside of her never quite grew up. Blair loves all kinds of stuffed animal toys from Poké Dolls to Build-a-Bear workshops.
❤ - Chai Tea - It tastes like liquid ginger bread! This stuff is so good and definitely worth every penny at the store or local cafe.

❤ - Smiling - Smiling is an art form! Blair always tries to smile about everything because being positive is much better than being negative! That is, of course, unless someone rubs her the wrong way.
❤ - Bracelets - Jewelry is always nice, but Blair has a strange admiration for bracelets. She particularly favors the one she has but she finds a certain elegance about them.

❤ - Pranks - Along with normal jokes and practical jokes, Blair is notorious for being a troll.

❤ - Pasta - It's the easiest thing to make but also just so strangely satisfying.
❤ - Ponies - From "My Little Pony," of course. She loves the show.
❤ - Rainbows - They mean good luck, don't they? Or more riches? Either way, Blair always had a fascination for such refractions of light.

❤ - Drawing - It's a nice mindless hobby to have, so Blair took it up when she was a child and never quite stopped.

❤ - Dogs - Man's best friend, right?

❤ - Anime - Yes, she'll admit to being an anime lover. She couldn't get enough of it and frequently binge-watched everything.
❤ - Sleep - Well, who doesn't love sleep?
❤ - Dreaming - Since sleep was mentioned, Blair loves dreams. She always seems to get super sucked into them, though, and her body doesn't appear to know what's real or not after a while.
❤ - Money - It's money.
Flaws:
❖ - Slightly Mentally Unstable - It's not that it's a major flaw, but Blair can't control it. It's more of a condition when it comes to her abilities.
❖ - Sarcastic - When it comes to stupidity, Blair doesn't handle it well. She'll either tell someone off or be incredibly sarcastic.
❖ - Blunt - Isn't everyone supposed to say what's on their mind? Blair thinks so. And she will never fail to speak up.
❖ - Ignorant - Even she will admit to being a little ignorant of certain things going on in the world. But who could blame her? There is so much happening and it's hard to follow.
❖ - Naïve - Blair tends to try to think of the best in people but easily becomes disappointed when they fail to show that side to her.
❖ - Excessive - It's true that she may go too far sometimes but she tries to not hurt anyone's feelings if she can avoid it.
❖ - Argumentative - Arguments happen sometimes but Blair does whatever it takes to prove that she is right. When she is wrong, however, she does know how to be humble about it.
❖ - Impatient - Well, it depends on what she's impatient about. If it's anything having to do with incompetence on someone else's part, then yes. She is very impatient.
❖ - Daydreaming - Blair gets bored easily and loves to daydream, but sometimes it gets her into a bit of trouble when it comes to listening to people.
❖ - Opinionated - This goes a bit with arguing, but she is a strong woman and does have her opinions. Since she's blunt, she is also not afraid of sharing said opinions.
❖ - Irritable - This is mostly only when she's hungry or if she notices she did something wrong and it's too late to fix it.
❖ - Always Hungry - Blair has a fast metabolism and it plagues her to be hungry all the time, and occasionally even to the point of physical pain. It's not always fun!
Habits:
→ Occasionally, I have been known to crack my knuckles. It's just very relieving for some reason but I haven't been able to get myself to stop.
→ Maybe I'm the only one who does this, but whenever I eat sandwiches that are stacked with unmixable foods like lettuce, cheese and meat, I tend to eat it layer by later. I don't know why.
→ Swinging my feet - If I'm sitting down and I have enough room (which I usually do because I'm short), I swing my feet around. It's pretty fun.
→ Eating - It's a flaw and a habit. I love eating and I'm just always hungry so if my stomach isn't growling then I'm shoving food down my throat.
→ This might make me sound a little psychotic but if someone makes me mad, and I mean really mad, my daydreams usually consist of me finding ways to torture them. Oops.
→ Being organized - Or maybe too organized is better to say. Either way, everything has a place! It has to stay there!
→ Giggling - Laughing works here too since I love to laugh.
→ Having an even number of things is also pretty important to me. It's just easier to count that way, too.
Fears:
→ Death - It's not the act of dying itself, but more so the fear of a lack of consciousness afterwards. I don't want there to be nothing when I die. Isn't that what Soul Society is for?
→ Larger women kind of scare me, so does that count? Most of them are perfectly nice but they can be so dang sassy.
→ Uncertain Futures - I don't like coming to terms with myself on not knowing my fate. I understand that no one ever will, but something about that darkness bothers me.
→ Strangers - This is such a given. Strangers freak me out!
→ Failure - The action of failing itself is fine but being unable to learn from failure will always be humanity's biggest downfall.
Goals:
My main goal is to be accepted. Everyone treated me like some kind of outcast when I was younger and that doesn't work with me anymore. If they want to come at me with everything they have, then I hope they understand that I'm going to go at them with just the same amount, if not more. Maybe even ten times more! I was given this gift for a reason. If they don't want to be able to try to get to know me and insist on flinging such insults towards me and my family, then so be it. I hope they enjoy their comfortable graves because that's the only place they would ever end up. But even more so than that, I want to gain control over my emotions. Why is it that I'm perfectly fine until it comes to someone with bad intentions? I should be able to ignore them, and I want to, but I can't. Well, maybe I should say full control. I do well enough as I am but I have to figure out what sets these powers off and how to use it to my advantage.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Overall Personality:
Despite her flaws and habits, Blair is quite the proper young woman. She speaks as any normal person would at her age but refuses to use any form of swear or curse. She sees those words as somewhat vulgar and unnecessary, so she tends to stay away from such things. She is far from a princess, though, and is actually very casual with just about everyone unless she needs to make herself act or seem more formal. Blair will always try to get a laugh out of anyone because she sees it as a way to get positive attention instead of negative since she has had enough of negativity in general. In fact, her bright and cheerful nature was born from the fact that her childhood was suddenly filled with such stress upon the kidnapping of both her and her sister. Instead of dwelling on the past, she looks towards the future with open arms and an open heart, hoping that one day she will be able to see the beauty in just about everything she touches. Many people envy her ability to stay positive and happy, but they don’t understand that this is who she is. She developed this part of her extensively to be able to heal herself under pressure. If she were to crack, the stress may get to her for just a moment before she regains her composure once again.
From early on and even up until now, Blair has always found some kind of enjoyment out of anything nerdy or related to magick. In regards to the nerdy things, she absolutely adores anime and loves reading manga when she gets the chance, and even roleplays online every now and then with all of her internet friends. But she also finds the time to enjoy comics or go to super hero movies or do whatever she can to entertain herself because it was so fun to her. Even now she’ll go out with the few friends she has in real life or even try to Skype a few of them and set up a little movie watching party. Either way, it was always something she took a liking to and it never went away as she grew older. When referring to magick, however, that is something else. This interest also started when she was younger but she never quite knew what to think of it. Her parents were highly religious and had a tendency to look down upon things like this, so she decided it would be best to just do everything in secret. She considers herself Wiccan and loves practicing witchcraft when she can, which means Blair holds solitary rituals and circles for different forms of purification or divination, depending on what it is she is trying to get out of them. She is very in tune with nature and always finds a way to direct the positive energy from it into her life so that it will be influenced more in that direction than the negative.
Now when it comes to how she acts around other people, she tends to be a bit mischievous. She absolutely adores pulling pranks and will try to do it just about anywhere, but Blair always tries to keep them within friendships or family. If she were to prank a stranger, it would probably lead to some really awful circumstances that she believes would be best to stay out of. She avoids them like the plague in the first place so not pranking them is relatively easy. There have been a couple of times in school, however, where she has pranked her teachers simply because she did not like them. She superglued a pencil to her desk so that it was completely perpendicular to the desk’s surface because her English teacher was so dreadfully boring and so incredibly hateful towards her that she decided it was time for revenge. She would frequently try to balance a No. 2 pencil on her desk but he would always come over and bump it so that the pencil fell, causing Blair to become angry. So one day she made it impossible. And got sent to the principal’s office. She didn’t get in trouble, though. No, that wasn’t the first time she was ever sent there. The first time happened a year prior where she was unwillingly volunteered to stand on a bed of nails and prove how the Salem Witch Trials were flawed with this witch test due to surface area making the nails possible to stand on, but she didn’t want to do it. So instead she wore white socks and put a ketchup packet inside so it would be punctured and look like blood. Which it did. And she was sent to the principal’s office.
Regardless, she does her best to be kind to everyone because she expects the same in return. Since she was mistreated as a child due to other children being the literal worst, she is very cautious towards new people. She always smiles and never forgets to throw in a joke here and there to ease up the tension, but she always knew that she was the reason for said tension in the first place. She can sometimes seem standoff-ish and bored, but that’s not her true self. Even though that’s how she appears, she really is just thinking of a way to start the conversation and get it going so that she feels less awkward. She never likes there being a long, strange pause in between greetings. It hinders her ability to make friends! And that ability is incredibly important to her. She hates losing friends and always wants what’s best for them, especially since she didn’t have many when she was younger. She tries to smile all the time now because she refused to before. She didn’t intend to be that way but kids made fun of her teeth entirely too much for her comfort, so she just never smiled or opened her mouth that much around them. As a result, she was often cast aside and disregarded. It wasn’t fair, but that’s why she is the way she is now. She wants them to understand that she’s okay and stronger than that.
Blair has also been known to be very good at manipulation. She doesn't try to do it in a bad way, but she definitely likes knowing that people, usually men, will go out of their way to make her happy when she wants something. Almost always, she'll offer some sort of small favor in return like buying a coffee or something simple like that, but she genuinely appreciates every small effort that people would make for her. She is used to her friends coming to her and sharing gossip or something interesting about their lives or even just complaining and asking for advice, but she never abuses that, either. Her ability to gain information is more of a luck-type of deal rather than something that she was skillful with. Blair just had the type of personality that made people think she was easy to talk to, which flattered her. It was only an additional thing that she was able to manipulate so well, but she just chalked that up to knowing how to ask people properly. She was taught from a young age to always be polite, so she stuck with that teaching whole-heartedly. It was important to her to know when to be kind and when to be civil. The civility came in handy more when she was dealing with people with whom she wasn't much of a fan; however, she always tried to make it work out.
In terms of people who she doesn't particularly care for, Blair acts a bit different. It's actually quite similar to how anyone would really be towards someone they don't like, but somehow she makes it seem nice anyway. If she comes into contact with someone who just does not rub her the right way, meaning perhaps their aura seems a little off or their personality doesn't mesh well with her own, she develops a sort of nonchalant attitude towards them. This is where the civility comes in. She can be civil and be kind but she will not be their friend. No, instead she noticeably stops caring about anything they have to say and actively ignores them. She is still listening because she needs to catch important statements, but she really could not possible care any less about them. Eye rolls are big hints towards when she starts acting this way, especially because Blair sees eye rolling as a huge insult. She doesn't normally mind when other people do it, but rolling her eyes is one of the biggest insults she can give to someone. Her bluntness also comes out much more here because she doesn't care about their feelings much anymore, so she tends to have little to no filter when it comes to how she feels about the person.
Oh, but speaking of gossip from before, Blair really can't possibly get enough of it. She loves being able to hear stories about other people and see how everyone is talking about each other behind their backs because it's seriously entertaining. She will scan through magazines to see how the celebrities of their world are doing and hopes each time that she sees something worth reading because she loves knowing everybody's deep, dark secrets. Since she's easy to talk to, her friends will go to her for advice and open up about everything in their lives, which in turn feeds Blair's insatiable need for gossip in her life. When she goes a long time without gossiping, she actually feels kind of empty, in a way, as if there is nothing to look forward to anymore. At this point, she is not above going out somewhere and eavesdropping, like a cafe or store, just to see what the employees or customers are talking about. It's an exciting form of spying that she frequently does, which earned her self-titled role as know-it-all without it being a rude thing to call somebody. It's a wonderful hobby for her to have and she actively uses that skill in her every day life. It's a habit that she was never quite able to break.
When describing Blair's intelligence, most people probably wouldn't peg her one way or the other on the smartness scale. She is actually incredibly smart and loves to challenge herself, which is why she chose engineering as a career. She absolutely adores the idea of working with machines and has a great sense of detail when it comes to those sorts of things, so she always felt right at home in her math and science classes, and then even more once she got into real engineering. She has no problem adapting to tough situations and is always able to see a way out of it while looking at the positives. She's hyper-analytical, hyper-observant, incredibly empathetic and is wonderful at picking up on social cues. However, due to her bluntness, she will ignore said cues and just say whatever is on her mind without much care to whether or not it will hurt someone. Then her empathy kicks in and she immediately feels so incredibly guilty about it that she will hug and love the person she insulted until they feel better. It can be a bit of a problem sometimes, but she handles it well for the most part. She understands, usually, when to keep quiet.
Confidence is a big part of Blair's personality, but mostly because she worked hard at being confident in the first place. She never had much of a problem because she wasn't really bothered by many things that the kids used to tease her about, but some of them left their marks on her mentality that she could never shake. Those marks caused major rifts in her personality that force her to shift from generally sweet yet nonchalant to a dark little girl, but that will be elaborated on later. Yes, as a child, she was horrendously bullied. She was stuffed into lockers and pushed and shoved and hit and had her books knocked out of her hands and just about everything you would expect from some unfortunate movie about a nerd. She likes Pokémon and anime and video games which were things that boys usually liked, but she never cared. She wanted to enjoy things that were fun, so she did. Other kids may have made fun of her, but once she finally got tired of it, she fought back. She played a lot of pranks on people when she was younger and still does. It was her way of coping and what was eventually how she gained confidence in herself over time. She made them suffer instead.
She loves her friends dearly since she never had too many when she was younger, so she consistently shows her love and support for them. She never wants any of them to feel upset or sad while she's around and it breaks her heart when she might be the cause of those nasty feelings. She does her best to make her friends smile and always cares about their well-being. She can be incredibly passionate about what she does and always works hard, but often times sees herself losing track of what she finds most important about her life. She constantly looks for ways to make the world around her more exciting and tries to look at the bright side, even if she isn't very good at showing that part of her. Blair is incredibly passive about most things and only gets excited about certain events when it's necessary. Despite that, she can be very carefree and fun to be around when she is with people whom she knows and who are not strangers. She does have social anxiety, so she prefers to feel comfortable and will hardly ever come out of her shell to meet someone new. They may have to make the first move when it comes to introductions since Blair may be too busy being quiet.
Here is where it gets a little more interesting. It's worth mentioning that Blair has a bit of an unstable personality. At a decent 99% of the time, she is a complete sweetheart and tries to get along with everyone around her, even though she is fighting her severe fears of being around a lot of people. However, during that extra one percent, she is malicious and extremely difficult to deal with. Due to her past with the trauma of losing her sister and how much she was tortured in school, she developed a bit of an dark side that is hard to shake. This darken persona form occurs when her powers are released, causing her to become incredibly violent and shockingly demonic towards other people. She no longer has any restraint against herself and all of her hatred and insecurities are revealed in one big burst of energy. She unleashes her more psychotic and traumatized side that she keeps locked away since it is truly frightening. Everything about her seems to change, from the way she holds herself to the way she talks and even how she acts. While her overall appearance stays the same, anyone could easily tell that something was wrong with her. Blair's unstable side represents the part of her that constantly thinks about ways to kill people she hates.
She has to keep that part of her locked away for a reason. Every bad part of her becomes enhanced and satirical. She becomes more stubborn, more rude, more insensitive, more irritable, and basically more of everything that you would expect from an angry person. All of her hatred that she couldn't bring herself to let go of becomes the center of her mind and controls all of her actions, meaning her violent nature is what exposes itself. She stops caring about if she hurts people and actually tries to do it on purpose by throwing insults and other rude comments towards anyone around her. Blair's sarcasm ups its game by being ten times more sarcastic and she just becomes absolutely awful. This is also when she isn't afraid to draw blood. In fact, she would go out of her way to rip someone to shreds because all she can think about is how nice their head would look mounted on her wall. Her personality just becomes demonic and excessive when it comes to overall violence and she stops trying to restrict herself with what she says and does. All it takes is deactivation and she becomes normal again, but this is a side of her that she prefers to stay hidden.
