Name: Panika Terranus

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Nation/Allegiance: Etruria, but currently Lawless

Appearance/Description: Panika, much like her younger sister, sports a lithe figure, but unlike Cinia, she is a little more voluptuous and developed. In a sense, she is somewhat like a catburglar. She has long platinum blonde hair, which is kept in a bun in the back of her head. Her eyes are purely red, and almost seem feline in shape. She occasionally wears a blue masque. In terms of garb and robe, she actually doesn't wear the typical standard issue mage wear. Not anymore, anyways. Now, she actually finds herself more comfortable in the wear of thieves and bandits and other such similar things. Usually, she wears a thief cloak and couples it with typical leather wear (and not the latex kind of thing!) which gives her extra mobility in the heat of battle.

Owing to the attention given to her by her parents over her sister, Panika became somewhat of a confident kind of person, she's not really afraid to speak her mind when she feels like doing so. Truth to be told, she's always envied Cinia for the freedom she had which was thanks to the latter's lack of talent in Anima magic, because Panika was so proficient in it. Actually, Panika has a bit of a kleptomaniac streak, often finding her hands restless and wanting to snipe some things. Regardless, she tries to be responsible to herself and her family, being the older one of the two Terranus sisters. She tries as much as possible not to steal from the poor despite her tendencies. On the other hand, though, Panika can have quite a bit of a harsh and vulgar mouth at the end of the day, though it can be easily quelled if she is treated with respect.

Finally, Panika was given a golden book by her father entitled "Lemegeton." She has not been able to unlock its mysteries yet, and she has kept its existence a secret from her younger sister. But because they are apart now, she has found herself wondering if she needs Cinia's help to decipher it.

Bio/Backstory: Panika is Cinia Terranus' older sister, one who was meant to be the heir to the family, due to her striking proficiency in the Anima magical arts. As such, her aptitude and skill was appropriately cultivated, such that Panika's magic was far more refined and controlled than her younger sister's, though what she did not know was that Cinia's tendency towards the dark arts made Panika's own magic far weaker on the destructive scale (though it was typically harder to control and harder to refine as a magical arte). Not realizing this, the Terranus family continued their study of the Anima magic. Meanwhile, Panika herself found herself longing to have that independent life style of Cinia.

This was something the younger sister herself didn't know until the times leading up to the Lycian invasion. Because Panika longed to go outside more often than staying inside and always practicing, she would always hassle her parents to take her out in order to learn more about current affairs. It was here that Panika learned about the rising tensions between Etruria and Lycia. Amidst training, Panika also realized that there was an imminent danger being posed towards the nation. In secret, Panika began her own training routine, knowing that magic, with all of its strengths, also had their own weaknesses. As a result, Panika attempted to read all the books she could on dexterity and physical training.

In her own room, which was much larger than Cinia's, she was able to perform exercise regiments laid out in various documents and battle manuals, which helped to tone her body and become more physically acclimated against Cinia's weaker physical form. Eventually, as the days numbered, Panika decided to speak to Cinia more often, comforting her and trying to reassure her that everything would be alright. As the two sisters began to bond more and more with each other, Panika discovered that it was very possible that Cinia was falling in love with her. However, she didn't care. She loved her sister too, though she wasn't entirely sure that she loved her in precisely the same way. Regardless, she kept it up and soon it was clear that their parents began to get a little worried.

Unfortunately, it was much too late to do anything about it, as during this time, disaster struck and their home was pretty much raided. Before they left, the father passed down a golden book called "Lemegeton" to Panika, explaining to her that this was their family heirloom, and their entire lineage has dedicated their lives to uncovering the mysteries behind this book. Thereafter, their parents desperately urged Cinia and Panika to flee, and so they did, but Panika, owing a lot to her parents, waited for them constantly. Cinia was less grateful to her parents, and thus had a more rational sentiment to keep on fleeing, and convinced Panika that if she went back she would also die, and that would completely kill the Terranus lineage. And it was with those harsh words that Panika abandoned hope of finding their parents at that precise moment in time. When they were ambushed by legionnaires, Panika and Cinia ran into the underwood, but it became too dangerous to go in a pair.

Cinia explained that they must flee, and so they promised to each other that they would find each other again in the future, sealing it with a kiss. While Cinia managed to flee to western Bern after finding fellow refugees, Panika was not so lucky. Panika eventually passed out in the middle of the road of a trade route, and by the time she regained consciousness, Panika found herself caged up in a bandit's hideout. Fortunately, she still had her book. Panika demanded to know what was up, and soon it was explained that she had to be kept there because the trade route she was found unconscious at was actually a common raiding spot.

When Panika realized the crowd she had fallen into, she took this opportunity to plan her escape by attempting not to run away, but by actually joining the bandits. She explained how she was capable of using magic, but also had the physical prowess to withstand blows that most typical mages of her age and stature would normally not. On top of that, she took this as an opportunity to express her desire to go on solo raiding missions, in an attempt to get excuses to scour the land to try and find her sister. The mere mention of the word 'magic' seemed to sway the leader of the bandit group she found herself in, and Panika soon found herself embroiled into a life of crime.

Using her abilities to their maximum potential, Panika was often ordered to go on scouting missions on Lycian territory, and it was then and there she realized that these guys absolutely hated them. Eventually, when Panika had a great amount of tenure within the group, she requested to formally leave and go on a personal solo mission to try and "look for someone." This was well after she had assisted on raids and plundering missions, thus the leader reluctantly allowed her to go, seeing as if he said "no," Panika would probably just blow them all up herself.

Now, Panika is a lawless bandit magician on the search for her sister, Cinia. All alone, without ally, only armed with the destructive power of her Anima magic and the swiftness and precision of her blade.
