Character Number: 2
Character: Schefflera Strelitzia
Source: Original
Personality: Schefflera first and foremost, was your typical Alraune - feed, make plants grow. After her first and rather traumatic (in her eyes) experience with feeding off a human male, she vowed to never feed off of a human she did not love and have permission from. The idea of forcing another against their will into something that was regarded as a very personal and important act by humans disgusted and shamed her. Forcing herself to become the Alraune equivalent of a 'vegan' took much time and effort, but Schefflera was steadfast and strong - she knew she wanted to be more human than beastly, and would make sure she upheld her own wishes.
Schefflera tries to be polite and courteous at all times, though she doesn't have much experience with using such skills in-front of things other than plants and animals. Dealing with turning off her powers of charm when around humans makes her rather flustered and uneasy, and she spends most of her time worrying about how to hold herself back. With enough exposure to humans she'll eventually grow used to being around them, but with her current canon point she is still nervous of her charms around them.
Schefflera wants to fall in love. She wants to experience the human way of loving, falling in love, and making love - and she hasn't a clue of where to start. There is no such thing as falling in love in the Alraune world, making it hard for her to even find someone on a similar race to her that she can relate to on a personal level. Even she is not immune to her races powers however, and if provoked and hungry enough, can relapse into her old ways of charming and sleeping with others.
After reading up on humans through various books, Schefflera tries to be as polite and ladylike as she can muster, preferring to grow clothes that cover her properly, and don't reveal most of her body, including her vines. She's fond of the more Victorian styles of clothing for being so classy and covering, and adopts it's dresses as her style of choice, despite coming from a modern fantasy world.
History: Schefflera Strelitzia is an Alraune - created of a mandrake root made by the semen of a man hung at the gallows, and the magic of a witch. While in Schefflera's world, Alraune can 'birth' other weaker Alraune, Schefflera herself was created traditionally by a witch getting her hands on a mandrake root and using her own vaginal fluid and magic to 'create' an Alraune child with it. Being a very studious woman herself, Schefflera's mother did not create a child to love and adore; she created her to keep watch over the mythical and rare flora in one of the suffering regions without a "Queen" Alraune.
Schefflera is the Queen in her area of the world referred to as the Jungle by plants and magic-users. What this entails is that she keeps an eye on plant-related matters and is the only Queen Alraune in the area - infringing on her territory is something like a slap to the face, unless another Queen Alraune introduces themselves to her immediately. Due to the rare nature of Queen Alraune in the first place, however, its never happened, and Schefflera herself has never met another like herself in person before. The difference between a Queen and a regular Alraune is their size and power - due to Schefflera's "birth" she is regarded as a potential Queen; tall, slender yet full-figured, and powerful, whereas a lesser Alraune made by herself would be smaller, skinnier, and posses weaker magic and inability to rise to queen-hood. Due to these particular requirements, certain regions are left Queen-less and rely on many lesser Alraune to keep things safe, healthy, and in order.
While raised and 'fed' by her mother for a month until strong and able to fend for herself, Schefflera has not seen or heard from her since, and holds no sort of attachment to her. Created to be more plant than human, Schefflera struggles with her feelings towards humans, and at first regards them in a very simple way - women, and food. While powerful on her own, Alraune require male semen as their only necessary form of sustenance aside from the usual water, sun, and heat that plants crave. Semen replenishes their magic and makes them stronger, and in the case of a Queen Alraune, this is a definite necessity. After the successful 'draining' of a male who happened to stumble into the Jungle one day Schefflera was caught red-handed showing feelings; guilt at using a man in such a way, without any sort of love for him in her heart. A curious and frankly unheard of phenomenon for an Alraune, especially a Queen, Schefflera ventured out of her region in order to watch and teach herself more of human etiquette and love. She soon grew shamed of herself and how she was supposed to fulfill her role as Queen - she did not want to use men, did not want to gallivant about the Jungle half-naked, and surely did not want to use her powers of charm on unwilling people.
So Scheflerra became the first Queen Alraune to craft dresses for herself by 'growing' them from her body, much like how she would use magic to help plants grow from the earth; and sustain herself on protein from food like eggs, nuts, meats and certain vegetation. While making herself quite weak magically and in physical strength due to this, she doesn't regret her situation for a moment, and is happy with her decisions. That still doesn't make the pull of a healthy human male (and even females occasionally) any less hard to reject, but Schefflera has managed to protect and make the Jungle thrive while under her reign with hard work and perseverance.
Timeline: A year or so after her decision to go 'vegan'.
Abilities: As a Queen Alraune, Schefflera is more powerful than a lesser Alraune created from herself - due to being 'traditionally' created, her powers of charm and seduction towards humans is absolute over men, and stretches even to human females. Giving off something like an 'aura' can coax men and women into doing her every whim and desire, or even charm them into making the 'extraction' of reproductive fluids even easier, working much like an aphrodisiac. The easiest way to fully extract genetic fluid is by sexual intercourse, but any way of taking in or 'absorbing' the fluids works as well.
With the upper half of a woman, and the lower body of a plant, Schefflera does not posses human legs, but instead, thorned roots she uses to move, and also to ground herself if necessary. This makes running and more graceful acts impossible, though she can still move quite fast with her roots. While Alraune are born and intended to remain 'naked' for their whole lives, Schefflera 'grows' her own 'clothing' from her body with magic. She cannot create man-made fabric, however, so her clothing is just as delicate as the flowers or plants that they were always intended to be (ex. a long 'skirt' that is actually giant rose petals or a hair tie made of ivy vines).
Schefflera can also create lesser Alraune much like how a regular plant sews its seeds, by grounding herself and spreading her magic through her roots - this takes an incredibly amount of magical power, however, and Schefflera will be unable to do this without properly 'feeding' from a male or female. As a 'vegetarian' Schefflera can still help plants grow and create them at will, but a lot of rest and relaxation, as well as protein-rich foods are required to help her along.
