Hello from Yorda!

Hello all! This is Isaac-mun aka zato, I've taken up a second character, Yorda from Ico! She's a pretty strange creature, so to help you understand her a little better I've included her application:

don't feel obligated to read this XD it's not terribly interesting <3
Character: Yorda
Series: ICO
Version: Taken from the end of the game
Age: unknown
Gender: female
Sexuality: unknown
Appearance: Yorda looks like a cross between a human (with pointed ears) and
a ghost, she seems to have a white aura around her entire body that almost
glows but she does exist in a physical plain, and so, can be touched. She's
quite willowy and slender, measuring at 5'7", with exceptionally pale skin,
very light ashy brown hair (often described as grey –not silver, grey) and
the same coloured eyes. Yorda always has this "washed-out" look to her that
makes all of her features seem pale and indescribable. She only wears one
item of clothing, a white and grey dress made up of many, many, layers of
thin silk-like material which reaches down just below her knees.
Personality: She is exceptionally timid of people because of her years of
captivity, and rarely finds the strength to trust anyone. She barely speaks
because she has a very intricate and bizarre language that most cannot
understand (and she can't understand what other people say for that matter)
which leaves people thinking she's antisocial. However, this is not the
case, Yorda longs to meet people and to make friends, she just finds it very
difficult thing to do. Despite her years of being locked away though, she's
a very capable person and has a lot of locked-away intelligence that most
people never see. She's a good problem solver and has quite a practical
brain in some respects.
Abilities/Weaponry: Yorda is exceptionally weak, she can't lift a sword let
alone wield one so she's no help in a fight. However, what makes up for this
is that she has some level of telekinesis which, although often involuntary,
is extremely powerful and proves useful in certain situations.
Weaknesses: She has a very low level of stamina so she can't run very far or
very fast and because she is so weak she's prone to fainting or passing out
under a lot of stress or physical damage. But Yorda's true weakness is her
abject fear of the dark, if she's feeling /brave/ she'll run away, but if
her fear grabs a hold her fully then she usually collapses or falls to her
knees immobilized.
History: Yorda used to be entirely human once, she lived in a small village
near a large forest surrounded by flowers and wildlife. But one day she was
abducted from her home and taken to an enormous stone castle on a remote
island. She was kept in a cage for many many years, she lost count of the
days after a while, and because of the spell on the entire area she was kept
alive for an unnaturally long amount of time. Yorda was being kept alive
because her body was being matured spiritually for the castle's owner to use
once her own body disappeared. But before the ceremony could take place
another person was exiled to the same castle. A young boy called Ico, who
later met up with Yorda and freed her from her prison. The two of them spent
a long time together trying to escape the castle, and just as Yorda used all
her strength to open the drawbridge to the castle so they could escape, the
bridge to leave collapsed and the two were separated. In this time Yorda's
body was turned to stone and was just about to be used in the ceremony for
the castle's owner. But just before the deed took place, Ico came and slayed
the Queen of the castle! Yorda's soul took physical form, turning into a
shadow, and she led Ico out to freedom. Once she saw that the boy was safe,
she disappeared along with her body, only to awaken by the gates of Paixao.

Also! While I remember, Yorda speaks a very very weird language that I don't think anybody else would understand in Paixao and to express this I'm gonna use a really really weird font!! :D You can download it HERE. The language sounds like a cross between Japanese and French, just so you know! :D

Yorda is open to rp with anyone! >D mwahaha, catch me on zat0 one (@AIM) if you want her!

I love Yorda too, but I admit that I spent many-a-time yelling "HURRY UP!" at the screen. xD

I just beat that game recently. It was pretty good, yay for Yorda!

Though her funky way of talking is starting to annoy both Morrigan and Jenet... :x
