The Basics
Name: Skye Fox
Alias: Sweet Burn
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Rank: Alchemist(although may try State exam at later date in rp)
Appearance
Skye is not the tallest girl, standing at five foot two she hates being called short, even though she knows its the truth. Skye is limber and flexible, able to move herself quickly when need be. Her hands are nimble, she has no callouses and her nails are always short. She does not usually wear makeup or nail polish, preferring to let her natural charm shine through. She has long brown red hair, that she usually keeps up in a ponytail with a bang on either side of her face. She is naturally pale but can tan if she tries. She has red brown eyes that usually mirror her feelings.
Skye has a very open taste of clothing, could be simple could be complex. She loves to have lots of pockets to carry her supplies but she also likes to just be able to move quickly. She usually wears long pants that have lots of pockets and a cropped top. But when she is not feeling up to that she will wear skirts and a simple shirt. She always wears shorts beneath her skirts, an old habit she is slightly proud of. When she does not wear the pants she usually has a kit on her waist that holds her oils and rounds. Three oils and a max of five rounds.
Personality
A complex person that contradicts herself and often seems motherly. She is a kind person that often gives people more chances then they deserve, although once you cross her line she holds grudges very well, even if she forgets the reason for it. She enjoys making others smile and helping those that need it. She is more book learned then anything else, although she is trained for battle. She lacks the knowledge of how to act in society so is often looked at funny. Lacking of volume control when it comes to her emotions you can usually tell how she is feeling unless she works really hard to hide it.
She is a for the people person. She rarely thinks of herself and is often alone when she works. She likes to read romance novels and fantasy books and writes some herself. Her alchemy is unique to her and not something just anyone can use. She is immune to some of the scents she uses although she has a good nose and other senses. Quick on her fit and quick witted she usually does well at connecting dots. Although some of the simpler things escape her.
She is a very in the moment person, usually very focused when needed but also air headed. Everything she seems to be it also seems she is not. She likes to have fun but has a hard time doing so in front of other people. She enjoys dancing but is too shy to do so in front of others. She likes sewing and making things explode with her mixtures. She does not like hurting others but will gladly punish those that need it. She seemingly suffers from split/shattered personality and has voices in her head at times.
History
Skye was born to two loving parents, she lived in a small town a distance from South city, her father was in the military so she rarely saw him. She had one older sister that she loved dearly, and was loved back. Her mother was a hard working and intelligent person. Skye's mother worked as a small town doctor and librarian. Her older sister was only older by a year and a day, she was a noisy and active child while Skye was more quiet and behaved.
When Skye was one her mother birthed a younger brother. The boy was named after his father against the fathers want. Heads I win tails you lose worked well on this man. He was a smiling child and a happy addition. Skye would work hard to help her mother with things even though she herself was so small. As the three grew they where very much like any other children, so close in age they where the best of freinds and the worst pranksters.
When she was four another brother was born. Skye noticed but over looked the fact that her mother and fathers relationship was rocky at best. She also could tell that her mother no longer loved her father and instead fell for another military guy that the four always called Uncle(not actually and uncle). The man doted on them and cared for them deeply, he spent time with them and helped them when they needed it.
When she was seven her mother birthed a fifth child. Her mother had divorced her father and married the man she loved. The child was the second mans. Skye was still devoted to her father and cared deeply for everyone in her family. She was full of smiles even though she did not have the best of luck at school. She was often in tears, being the one most people took their frustration out on. Her elder sister rarely did anything to help and her little brother seemed to be having it easy.
When she was ten another brother came into teh world and Skye felt very happy with her life. She was still being teased and had no luck with people but she was enjoying her family life and loving her family even more. She was now the second eldest of six and very happy with everything, she looked up to her sister and mom. She tried hard to set a good example for her younger siblings and helped her mother often with changing the diapers and other things.
When she was eleven her little sister was born. It was a shock to her step father because his side of the family rarely had females born. The little girl was doted on and spoiled, being the seventh child in the family. Skye felt content although a little sad when she was told her mother could not have any more kids. She thanked god for the blessings she had in her life and continued with what she did but she also picked up alchemy and started to study it.
Their town was small, but her mother was an avid book collector so Skye found many alchemy books and her mother helped to get more. Skye studied hard. Although those around her called her witch. For the town was so small and rarely went outside that barely anyone knew alchemy, there was one alchemist in the town. Skye often visited the elderly man to learn from him, he was a gentle person with a strong personality.
A few years past and when she was thirteen it seemed she had grasped the basics well. Her teacher started to show her chemistry, which Skye greatly enjoyed. Although on more then one occasion she blew things up. Skye studied herbs and oils. She picked up books on just about anything she could find, soaking in all the knowledge she could. She started to develop her own alchemy.
Three more years past and she thought she had grasped her alchemy well. Using oils, herbs, and chemical reactions she could do great things. Although she was still looking into other types of alchemy and wanting to learn as much as she could about everything that interested her. Her teacher took to calling her Sweet Burn because most of her mixtures that she heated/burned smelled sweet.
Her family life seemed stable but Skye wanted to try for greater things. At the age of sixteen she secluded herself in the forest, working hard to get even better at her alchemy and to get physically stronger. She spent three years alone there, surviving off the earth and the occasional visit to the town. She kept in contact with her family when she could, but eventually all the letters where returned and she was told they had disappeared.
When she was nineteen she left her seclusion and was disturbed that her entire family could just disappear. It saddened her and she wanted to look for them, but she knew that they would want her to focus on herself, that being the reason they disappeared. She packed up what was hers, and what was left, put someone in charge of the library and headed to central. Her dream to be a state alchemist on her mind and her heart filled with hope.

Roleplay Example
This is from another site Im on, same character although on that site she is a state alchemist.
Major Kiloh(different last name as well) walked into Central HQ in uniform, her hair up in a braid. A sigh escaped her lips as she walked quickly. She was a little late but it was the trains fault, stupid alchemist mission, she hated being late. But it was better to show a little late rather then not at all. Her red-brown eyes scanned her surrounding, she could read ranks but she was still knew and did not recognize many people. She would compare how she felt to suffocating, surrounded by people but still seemingly alone. Her boots made squeaking noises on the ground, new and not entirely worn in. Her red brown hair seemed slightly frizzed as pieces stuck its way out of the braid. Her skirt was regulation in length although she wore shorts underneath, she liked skirts but she never went anywhere without shorts. Her watch on her waist in a pocket she had made.
She stepped into her commanding officers office and talked to him, handing in her report and receiving the briefing for her next mission. She saluted and left without looking at the file, she figured she would find a nice quiet corner to read it. The office seemed crowded and always bustling, and while she enjoyed that sometimes she just liked to be left alone. She felt like she had done allot since joining, it had taken her a while and she still felt like everything was too new, even though it had almost been a year. She wandered around a short bit before finding an area she could sit, sitting in a corner she opened her file and started to read.
Extra
Alchemic/Special ability.
She uses special rounds of herbs that she heats to create a scent. She can use different herbs to cause hallucinations and even cause poison if she uses the right ones, she carries vials of oil and a bag of compressed herbs. She also uses regular alchemy and carries chalk in her bag as well. Her alchemy is also very chemical.
Means of alchemic symbol:
The rounds themselves are the circle, she creates heat by activating the sigil. They do not cause combustion/fire but merely heat enough to let of a scent. The oils are activated with the a ring she wears on her left pointer finger, but she also has it on the lids. As said above chalk in her bag for other types although on occasion she might make special object to use the alchemy.
