Board 8 > [B8BOC] Board 8's Best Original Character, Day 16: Winona vs. norenxaq

(+) Yeah! (+)

Remember that we'll be taking a two-day break for Thanksgiving after this.

RULES:
1. Vote for the character you like more. That's it.
2. Each user gets one vote per match (no alts). These are one-on-ones, after all.
3. Rounds last exactly 24 hours from the opening post and any votes thereafter will be disregarded.
4. I (Metalmind) will post a new match daily at about 6 PM PT, excepting brief scheduled breaks for Thanksgiving and one day where I have a prior commitment.
5. The users who nominated each character will be kept hidden, as votes are for characters, not users. Users are forbidden from rallying, including posting additional propaganda that is not already in this opening post, as this can give their character an unfair advantage.
6. You are allowed, and in fact encouraged, to vote for the character you nominated. Or don't if you truly prefer their opponent, I'm not your boss!
7. Bumping support to keep this topic on the front page is appreciated, especially when I'm not available (typically from about 4 AM to 3 PM PT).

"Believe it or not, thats really me. I live in Pittsburgh, where I work as a barista at a local caf. What Im truly passionate about, though, is my role as the guitarist and sometime singer of the band a few friends and I formed a few years back. I usually like to spend my downtime alone with my cat Possum, listening to music or playing video games. Uh, what else is there to say about me? Sorry, I know this is a bit awkward Im not exactly the most outgoing person ever."

The basics:
- Age 24; dyes her hair a different color every few weeks.
- Winona has a grounded perspective on life, in large part thanks to having to mature quickly in her childhood.
- However, among her many secrets is that shes a dreamer at heart; shes also capricious by nature, with a tendency to run away from her problems rather than facing them.
- Additionally, she has somewhat of a taste for the unique and extravagant, particularly when it comes to outfits for performances.
- Winona leans pansexual, but she struggles to come to terms with her gender identity and feel comfortable in her own skin, in part due to a challenging upbringing dotted with tragedy (in a small post-industrial town to the east of Pittsburgh) and strained relations with her working-class family.

in my 27 centuries being on this earth, I have seen many changes in human culture. the only constant being change. I am a dragon born in china who was a student of kong fu-tze while he was alive. once buddhism arrived in my homeland, I became a practitioner. As is normal with my kind, I can change form and am often seen as an old chinese gentleman. (picture a person about 6' wearing a yellow robe as well as a yin/yang pendant encircled by a winged gold dragon)

abilities in both forms: magic, shapeshift, weather control, size shift
as human: add martial arts

flaw: very cynical
philosopher, historian
