She rarely sees anything good in a situation and tends to think things will turn bad at any moment. Leaving her constantly on edge and ready to run or brace herself for the worst. Even when she sleeps she seems to be on guard.

The Background

History: (At Least 2-3 Paragraphs. Keep in mind that the Fall of France pre-dates current events by about 40 years.)

Maya has no Idea where she comes from, she doesn't even know where she is, she simply awoke one day out in the ruins of a place she didn't know the name of, she didn't eve know her own name. After traveling around she managed to get a look at herself... which took almost an hour for her to realize it was a reflection...

She simply started to wander, unaware of any dangers that there were, until she found a group of Demons... she barely got away with her life, but something about her seemed to cause them to stop chasing her once she got away... looking at her reflection again she thought perhaps she should find things that looked like her?

Eventually she did manage to find a group of Humans... however while they were not violent at first sight, when she got closer... that quickly changed as they started to shout things she didn't understand and they started to yell at her, the next thing she knew she heard a loud sound and she was sent flying off her feet with a wound in her arm, once again she ran away, covered in wounds and unsure of what to do, she simply hid away in a building... wounded and in pain she looked for something that could help her.. she found a red bag in the rubble with a White cross on it... and she didn't know why but she knew it would help her wounds...she managed to patch herself up and from then on simply lived alone Avoiding both The creatures that looked like her, and the other creatures that seemed to vary widely in appearance.

Though she wasn't always successful usually always leading to her getting more wounded and escaping, something about her preventing any of her attackers from wishing to chase her down which was likely the only thing that allowed her to survive.

Okay here we go:

1. Where is your arcana?

2. I am having an issue with the use of commas in some places instead of periods. Please fix appearance section so that I clearly see 5-6 sentences which is a paragraph.

3. Same with personality. As it is now, it reads as one long sentence in some areas.

—Strength Name: Magic Resistant
—Description: For some reason that even Maya doesn't understand, she has always been resistant to magic resulting in her taking 15% less damage from all magical sources.

I am afraid this will not go. Pick one sort of element she is strong against.

—Strength Name: Consumer
—Description: Maya has learned that she is able to literally eat anything... stone.. metal...wood...magic... which has allowed her to survive even when she couldn't find what could be considered "normal" food.

What do you mean eat magic? Are you saying if I threw a fire spell at her she can eat it? If so I'll have to ask you to remove that as that could be a little op.

—Strength Name: Magical Analysis
—Description: Maya is able to see the base of magic, allowing her to see what path it will take, where it is being aimed, at least in part, this allows her to dodge it more effectively granting her a +15% to evade all magic attacks.

I can allow one type of magic spell to have this buff not all.

—Strength Name: Highly Perceptive
—Description: due to her high visual acuity Maya is able to read the micro movements on the faces of people, demons, and Shadows, the uncontrol-able and unconscious motions that can tell someone what one is thinking, making it very easy for her to tell if someone is lying, or hint to her at to what they are thinking.

I'll let you keep this as long as you don't use it to 100% read everything and know everything about a person.

—Weakness Name: Easily injured
—Description: due to her bodies size, and her frail build, Maya is easily Injured, causing her to take 15% more damage from all Physical sources.

Choose one physical type she is weak to.

Also in weaknesses, I would need a counter for her evade skill. I only see one which can counter her boost on magic.

Side-Arm Name: Telekinetic Blast
Side-Arm Description: The blast is launched from her single eye, using energy she builds up in her body.
Side-Arm Image: (Not necessary)
Side-Arm Attack Type: Gun
Side-Arm Style: Burst-Fire Style - Multi-Round - Base Accuracy of 70%. Hits a single target twice. Consumes 2 rounds to per trigger pull. Magazine Size of 12. Reserves Capacity of 36.)

If this is one blast...how is it hitting twice? Please detail this out more. Fix what I ask and I will approve.
