Description This one was a bit experimental. >.< I can't recall ever drawing a woman before, that is disguising herself as a man. I tried to combine features from both genders here - giving her a more masculine body shape but a feminine face.

Anyway, here you have the second one of Lavender's ghost.

Real name: Rebecca Corney
Alias: Reuben Credge
Magical ability: Lock picking
Death day: somewhere in the early 1900s
Advantage: Quick and easy to summon
Disadvantage: Not a fighter
Required summon level: Lv. 1 from 5 (Lv. 2 recommended)
Summonable by: Lavender, Henry, Oscar, Amos
Backstory: 
Rebecca Corney was what is known as a world traveler - a person with the ability to travel between the magical world and earth. World travelers are a rare kind and have to oblige strict rules, most importantly they aren't allowed to use magic as long as they are on earth. Rebecca dismissed these rules. Tired of her life in poverty, she traveled to earth, where she disguised herself as a man under the alias of Reuben Credge and performed magic 'tricks' to get a good fortune. Her magical ability to open any locks with just a wave of her hand were obviously very fascinating to people in a world were real magic doesn't exist. However the government from Rebecca's world quickly found out about her illegal actions and started searching for her. Rebecca escaped and traveled around the world, throwing her money out for luxuries. The thought of sharing or saving her money never occurred to her. And when her fortune was eventually gone and earning more became difficult, Rebecca was willing to do anything to get money, even if it meant to betray or hurt others.
She was eventually caught by the government and brought to justice.
Description: Unlike the other ghosts, Rebecca can't fight, but her lock picking ability can still come in handy. She can be summoned by a level 1 summoner, but then will only be able to open regular locks. A higher level is required to have her open magical locks as well.

She is such a cool character! I love how she disguised herself as a boy but you can still see the feminine features which is something that's not easy to do but you pulled it off really well.

And I love her story too. Using magic to open locks and gain fortune is such a great idea. And traveling around the world doing it is even better.

I just can't say enough good things about her. She's well developed, has a great backstory and power and a very sneaky personality which I love. And her design is very clean and classy~ Love it!

Really great job!

Thanks a lot!^^
I never really did something like combining genders like this before, so I'm glad that it turned out so good.
I made her story up rather quickly - good example for spontaneous ideas being often the greatest. I always had the idea for her powers, but it was only some time later, that I thought about her abusing her ability to get money.
I'm really happy that you like her so much. Makes me feel bad that she is just a minor character. -.-

Well I think you did really well here and it can't be an easy thing to do but I like what you did a lot.

Lol that's true! Sometimes they can work out better than you think at first. Unless you're me who needs SO much time to develop ideas. XDD But you do the spontaneous ideas really well! For her character and power I think that was a really nice touch because I could actually see that happening in real life.

Hey that's alright! Not everybody can play a main role and even the minor characters have to be well developed and you did that just fine!

Keep it up!
