Uzuri (profile update 2025)

And a long overdue update to one of my very first characters, Uzuri! A character last updated so long ago, she doesn't even have a profile posted here to refer back to, so this will be both update and intro as a result.

Uzuri is a Paeran, in the slightly rarer variety of not having many especially fantastic traits (essentially a human physically, aside from the usual Paeran-ness)! She does have some very minor faerie traits about her, but otherwise she's very 'plain' physically.
Magically though, Uzuri is especially strong at accessing and manipulating Paeratopa's energies. She's as close as one can get to simply being a mage; of course she can shrink and enlarge people and items, but she also loves to explore other effects, and as a result has become somewhat known for her abilities to conjure and create, to infuse magic into other items, that sort of thing. If some magical item is proving to be a particular mystery, chances are Uzuri can figure it out, or maybe it's even something she recognizes from her own tinkering!

In terms of personality, Uzuri is quiet but friendly, a bit quirky in some mannerisms; she's more introverted but certainly not shy, and very curious in general. Though she naturally enjoys slurping on and swallowing tiny humans, being so nearly human - if only physically so - she finds herself a little more able to relate to and understand the perspectives of those not natively from Paeratopa, and that curiosity of hers makes her great as a first encounter for newcomers; she's happy to give them a bit more explanation of their new situation in exchange for learning more about where they're from, and while she'll usually insist on getting to eat them afterwards, this too is often a bit of an introduction to Paeratopa in and of itself...
