full name ♦ Nerys (nuh-rEE-s) Rooney Oswald nicknames ♦ if any age ♦ thirty-four birthday ♦ July 26, 1984 occupation ♦ Headmistress of Primrose school ♦ Primrose Alum species ♦ human ability/power ♦ Portal Creation how the ability works ♦ Nerys has the ability to create portals - passages between two separate points in space. Nerys's ability is limited to creating portals to places that she has already physically been. No amount of effort on Nerys's part can make her create a portal to the top of the Alps. Nerys can create small distance portals with ease and reliability - it's the longer distance that require a little more effort. The longer the distance, the more concentration required. Upon portal manifestation across long distances, Nerys can become light-headed, acquire headaches (up to full blown migraines), nose bleeds, and on occasion lose consciousness. gender ♦ female sexuality ♦ -noncommittal shrug-
the appearance
face claim ♦ Jaimie Alexander height and weight ♦ 5'9" 138lbs identifying features ♦ any scars, piercings, tattoos or birthmarks overall appearance ♦ Nerys is a long and lean woman, who takes a lot of pride in her appearance. She makes an effort to work out daily to keep up her physique. She's always up to date on the latest fashion trends, donning makeup and doing hair in the morning is a whole ordeal. She keeps her hair short and lightly curled - it's easier to fix in the morning and doesn't get in her way in the gym.
Her wardrobe is smart and sophisticated, as is expected of a Headmistress of one of the most elite schools in the country, but Nerys isn't afraid to sex things up a little. Outside of school, Nerys's wardrobe is the best combination of skin and money.
the personality
likes ♦ Parisian Crepes, travel, large men with tattoos, shoe shopping, some weird fascination with clocks and watches?? dislikes ♦ entitled brats at Primrose, entitled Primrose parents, not being able to portal bad kids into the desert anymore, people who make hard things look effortless strengths ♦ grounded confidence, highly motivated weaknesses ♦ impatient, nitpicking perfectionist dreams ♦ of total perfection fears ♦ being second best overall personality ♦ Nerys was groomed to be a perfectionist from the day she was born. Her parents held her to nearly impossible standards, and she did her best to stick by them. Now she holds everyone else to these standards and is disappointed when they don't measure up. Most don't measure up.
Despite being brought up as all that was perfect flawless, Nerys still had a bit of a wild streak in her. She was just good enough to not get caught when it counted. Her since of humor is devilish at best, and damn is she not as scandalous as they come. Nerys knows what she wants and she does love being in power, but turns to mush when an attractive face challenges her authority.
She is very grounded in her confidence - in the sense that she's not over-confident or cocky, but she knows how to give herself credit where it's deserved. Nerys knows damn well what she is capable of, and she's not afraid to show it.
the history
father ♦ Ian Beaumont Oswald II, 60, old money, owns ski resort mother ♦ Marissa Clara Oswald, 58, old money, co-owns ski resort siblings ♦ Rowen Marcella Oswald, Sister, 32, Phalanx Home Ec teacher _______ _______ Oswald, 30, Brother important people ♦ _______ _______ Oswald, 15, Nephew, Primrose Student hometown ♦ Aspen Springs, Colorado overall history ♦ Nerys, as many students of Primrose Academy, was born into wealth. She was the first child of Ian and Marissa. The Oswald's come from a long line of wealth, and while Ian and Marissa never had to lift a finger, they decided to open a luxury ski resort in Aspen Springs to pass the time. They had many family homes growing up, as the Oswald's were all travel enthusiasts, but Nerys remembers most of her childhood being spent at their ski resort in Aspen.
Being the first of the children, Nerys always felt there was a certain weight on her shoulders that her brother and sister didn't have to bare. She was the one flaunted in front of friends in family, she had to keep up appearances, she had to be better than the Jones's. Nerys always took this well, though, she worked hard to prove herself, and not once did she ever crumple under the pressure. Ian and Marissa looked to Nerys to be perfect, and she didn't let them down.
The first time Nerys wasn't the first, wasn't the best, was a hard blow to her ego. Both of her parents had these otherworldly powers, Nerys had grown up knowing this, and knowing she would likely get her own one day. What she didn't expect was for her baby sister, Rowen, to get hers first. Nerys was eleven when Rowen broke her arm in a skiing accident. After being rushed to the hospital, Nerys at Rowen's side the whole way, the doctors noticed that Rowen had begun healing at a rapid rate. An injury that was once a compound fracture, breaking through skin had turned into just nasty bruising over a few hours. Rowen was special. And it killed Nerys that she came first. That day Rowen was pledged to attend Primrose the day she turned fourteen, and it was the day that first drove the wedge between Nerys and her sister.
Two years later Nerys finally began showing signs of her own abnormalities. The first instance she clearly remembered as being 'odd' was when her parents refused to take her to get ice cream after a particularly nasty storm. Nerys remembered storming off to her bedroom, and then seeing this beautiful pond-like swirl just floating in mid-air. Something inside of her told her to jump through, and when she did... She was at the ice cream parlor.
That was a particularly rough phone call to make back to her parents, but upon explanation they couldn't be more delighted. Their little Nerys was the first of the children amongst all their Primrose friends that would get to attend their alma mater. First to show any signs of powers, for that matter. It rubbed Nerys the wrong way when they doted on her like this, like Rowen didn't even happen. It didn't bother her enough to say anything about it.
At fourteen Nerys was sent down to Louisiana to study and further her powers at Primrose Academy. The little girl had always lived a life of opulence, but this was something... Something that blew everything she had seen out of the water. Centuries of multiple families old money was poured into the school, it was a whole level of luxury that the Oswald's themselves couldn't touch.
Nerys spent her years at Primrose striving to be the best in everything she was. Her parents wouldn't accept any less. She was captain of the basketball and volleyball teams, made the dean's list every year, and graduated with honor roll. Perfection was striven for every day and with her every waking breath. She never saw how damaging this was to her sister.
After Nerys's stint in Primrose she attended college and received her degree in teaching. She returned to Primrose as a math instructor and climbed the ladder since then. Sometime after Nerys turned 30 she finally assumed the position of Headmistress of Primrose Academy. She had help gaining position along the way, but most of her advancements were of her own merit.
Nowadays Nerys spends her time travelling via portal to nearly everywhere on the planet. She's attuned her powers so much so that she can jump from Louisiana to Paris for a morning crepe and back in less than five minutes. Most of her job now is in title only, but she does have to deal with the occasional misbehaving entitled brat - nothing Nerys can't handle with a few sharp words and threats. She's leading a very cushioned life, and she likes it that way.
