● ● APPEARANCE INFORMATION

HAIR, Equal to her unruly nature, her dark chocolate brown hair haphazardly cascades down her back. Thick dark stands weight heavily and provide her with shiny, yet disorderly, locks.
EYES, Her eyes aren't large or doe-like they are exotic almond shaped eyes. Kal's hazel colored iris reflects different hues of color, ranging from blues to greens to a golden tint.
HEIGHT, Though she dances the hustle of destruction, Kal is quite the tiny dancer; reaching a mere 5'2''.
WEIGHT, 122lbs of twirling death.
NOTICEABLE TRAITS, This unusually beautiful girl can be quite alluring to the eyes. Her body is curvaceous and soft to the eyes; possessing the grace of a dancer's body, she is noticeably graceful... if not enticing. Between her almond shaped eyes is a Tilaka, it symbolize the third eye, or mind's eye, that is associated meditation and spiritual enlightenment. It is the centre point wherein all experience is gathered in total concentration and represents the sixth chakra known as the 'agna' meaning 'command', the seat of concealed wisdom.

The most noticeable trait of Kal's is her many arms, she has 4 arms in total, she has complete control over these arms and isn't considered "right" or "left" handed.

● ● PSYCHE INFORMATION

POSITIVE TRAITS,

• Charismatic | A personality on death would be quite unexpected, but honestly, Kali can be very charismatic and charming to others. It isn't something she really tries or thinks about too often, it is just one part of herself that she just lets come out naturally.
  
• Loyal | Kali has a deep sense of loyalty to friends, family, and loved ones. Refusing at times to see the negative traits in her comrades, she is a trusted ally in any situation.
  
• Protective | Due to her physical prowess on the battlefield, Kali is a protector of her loved ones. Preferring to sacrifice herself and her safety, she always feel she can "handle" more than the average person (or god...).
  
• Wise/Intuitive | Given the blessing of a third eye, she has a natural intuition for people's feelings or even future actions. She usually can see things before they happen and this can be, at times, called wisdom.

NEGATIVE TRAITS,

• Bad Temper | Possessing a horrible temper can be a hindrance on any personal relationships she attempts to make. She can be defensive quite easily and take thing to personally at times, causing her to resort to anger, rather than discussing it with the offender.
  
• Overprotective | Unfortunately she tends to be a little overprotective with those she cares about, she is quick to jump to the aide of her allies. As previously stated, she has a horrible temper, and her overprotective is a volatile combination.
  
• Pessimistic | Inwardly she can be very pessimistic sometimes, yet she doesn't tend to talk to people much and has a habit of bottling her emotions. This pessimism can cause slight depression.
  
• Harsh | Being almost honest to a fault, Kali always "tells it like it is" and doesn't think about the other person's feelings. This can be a horrible trait and lose her friends quite easily, though she might not intend to harm, she can be hurtful.
  
• Impatient | She can be impatient at times and doesn't understand why people are lazy. She finds it useless and a waste of her time as well as theirs.
  
• Unwilling to compromise | Being a deity for thousands of years has caused her to have a complex, she hates to not get things the way she wants. She also doesn't understand why people won't see things her way.
  

STRENGTHS,

• Martial Arts | Kali is a practitioner of many different styles of martial arts, though she is a master of a single art called kalari payat. Kalari payat is one of the oldest forms of martial arts in existence and the style is used in forms of dance. It consists of many different forms and even have some healing techniques.
  
• Master swordsman | Kali is a practitioner of śastravidyā, meaning "knowledge of the sword". Have 4 arms, she has had to practice many hours to make sure she is able to fight equally with each limb.
  
• Dancer | Seeing as her fighting style is incorporated with dancing, she is graceful on and off the battlefield. Kali is also the dancer of death, her dance ushers in the end of existence.
  
• Multiple arms | 4 arms are definitely better than two! Fighting aside, she can fold laundry quicker, cook easier and that is just a couple basic daily tasks. Having multiple arms can be an advantage but she also stand out in a crowd, even when she would rather not.
  
• Strategist | Being the goddess of destruction, she is quite comfortable around a battlefield. This has provided her a great mind for strategy.
  

WEAKNESSES,

• Bloodthirsty | During battle, if she gets caught up in the fight, she becomes insanely bloodthirsty. At times she has even turned against her allies in her thirst, she has always felt awful and regrets every time she lets this part of her personality out. Sadly there is only one person who has ever been able to pull her out of this state.
  
• Ritualistic | Due to living a life of rituals, she tend to keep the same rituals even now. Lighting candles and incense around her home is a common ritual she keeps, among others.
  
• Loneliness | Kali is a lonely individual, she has always been treated as a goddess, and yet, she knows deep inside she is only one side of a coin. The other half of her coin is no where to be found, currently.
  
• Blood | Kali has an extreme blood lust and when confronted with large amounts of blood she can be excited into an unreasonable state. Merely a drop or two wouldn't work.
  

● ● PERSONAL GOODS

ITEMS,

• Necklace of skulls | Her necklace of skulls is small and looks more decorative than scary, in her former life it was the skulls of man, but now she has a lovely silver replica.
  
• Diamond studded nose ring | On her left nostril is a diamond nose ring.
  
• Snake bracelet | This bracelet is a silver snake with onyx eyes and small diamonds line the back of the animal. This is her most prized possession as it reminds her of what she has lost.
  

WEAPONS,

• Khanda | Kali uses a traditional weapon from India called a Khanda. It is a double edged straight blade and this sword is comparable (honor-wise) to the Indian warrior, as the Katana is the Samurai.
  
• Trishula | As a symbol of her devotion, she carries the weapon of her beloved. A trident...
  

● ● BACKGROUND CHECK

HISTORY,
Kali is the goddess of destruction and the eternal dance partner to Shiva, the god of destruction. Together they perform the dance of existence, where life is created through death, prosperity through pestilence. Though her origins or birth is unknown, she has seemingly existed since time itself. She is brahman in its supreme unmanifest state. She has no permanent qualities — she will continue to exist even when the universe ends.

What is known about her is she, once during a battle she lost herself in blood lust and only Shiva, her beloved, could stop her dance of destruction before she destroyed existence. Feeling such shame for her actions, she bite her tongue.

This is a lovely application - and assuming it's done.. you left out the Face Claim spot~

[Kali]

I am sorry this took me so long to respond to...

I am unsure of what to claim because the face I used was from one artist on Deviant art. (with a tad of photoshoping to make them look as though they belong together.)

In my mind I see her as Aishwarya Rai but we allow only animation on this site; unfortunately, there are not many indian looking animes... (I can't find any myself... T_T)

[ZOEY F. BABY]

Well in that case just put down which artist from DeviantART the face claim is by with a link? Think that should be good. :)
