Description
-----
Name: Sparkler
Kin: Pixie, Firecracker
Job: Guard
Holiday: 4th of July

Description of a Guard:
Guards are soldiers that patrol the boarders of the land of Liberation. Serving President Sam and First Lady Liberty, they each have a set of skills designed to keep trouble from other lands OUT.

History:
Sparkler is the daughter of CherryBomb and Piccolo Pete. She is one of the handful of Firecracker Pixies born without wings. Most members of the family are born with wings and some of them excel at flying to great heights. The Firecrackers are a well-to-do family with the more skilled pyrotechnics traveling far and wide to use their skills in different Holidays. Her parents wanted her to get some real experience under her belt and recommended her to the Guard despite her protesting. While she likes the uniform that comes with the job, she wishes she could go out and explore other Holidays.

Personality:
Sparkler is very excited about anything dealing with other Holidays. She's gregarious and sometimes is so busy talking on and on she forgets she's supposed to be guarding the border. She stands up for herself when she knows she's right but otherwise is much more easy going that most members in her family.

Fighting Style:
Sparkler uses fire magic with her sword and limited pyrotechnics. Drawing her blade causes it to light up with a flurry of sparks and a leaves a temporary streak of light in the air. (Don't know what I'm talking about? Go light up a sparkler and wave it around in the air.) She draws fire spells in the air with her hands. It takes her several seconds to finish a spell and she cannot innately summon magic. Her pyrotechnic skills are limited to several nasty traps taught to her by her cousin RomanCandle.

Other Information:
-Loud noises do not bother her in the slightest. With parents like hers, you get used to noise.
-She's a chatterbox.
-She's fairly gullible.
-Like all Pixies, she's got a nose for mischief.

Dude, when I saw her in my inbox, I thought it was Lauren's deviation! She fights RIGHT in. She looks adorably old-fashioned.

So cute! Love her outfit! Also like that she's have freckles. You don't see many characters with them nowadays.

Gosh thank you so much! Sorry for my crazy late response.
I miss characters with freckles. More of them need to happen I think.

Oh you mean in competition for who is coolest? Because, yeah, then, obviously. P:
Honestly that could be a cute way to use her. I know that you're particular to uniforms so I wanted a design you'd have fun drawing more than once.

Haha I appreciate it XDD Sometimes I obsess over outfits so much that I get tired of it and it's been a treat trying to simplify everything...
