Personal Belongings:

Susan owns the Poker. It is an ordinary fireplace poker made of cheap metal with a brass knob on the end, but it has the ability to destroy monsters (and only monsters). [This item is not currently in Susan's possession]

She also owns the Stationary Cupboard. The Stationary Cupboard is big enough to walk into, and it contains a box of gold and silver stars (which she hands out to students), powder paint, paper, boxes of crayons, The Scissors, and a spare pair of pants for Billy, one of her students. This is also where she keeps her chocolate.

She has a book called Grim Fairy Tales. This books contains a number of fairy tales, including the story called “The Glass Clock of Bad Schüschein”, which is about the glass clock that trapped Time.

She also has a half empty box of Higgs & Meakin’s chocolates.

Duelist Weapon:

Susan’s duelist weapon is a fireplace poker, which has had the tip of it removed and replaced with a small flat blade. Just underneath where the blade ends a small hook comes off – this is not a blade, it is made from the same metal as the poker itself. The poker is completely black, with no ornamentation. Unlike her normal poker, this one is capable of harming people who are not monsters.

School Uniform:

Susan wears sensible dresses, with long-sleeved blouses. Sometimes, she will wear a vest. She always wears black. She wears button boots, which seem somehow higher when she’s being Death’s granddaughter, and when she’s battling.

Her duelist uniform is a somber black dress, ornamented with lace. Over her chest she wears vest that is somehow even darker than her black dress, with four silver buttons. On the right side of her chest she wears a silver brooch, in the shape of an hourglass – this serves as her weak point.

Abilities

Since Susan is the granddaughter of Death, and being “a little bit immortal”, she possesses a large range of unusual abilities.

As the granddaughter of Death, and being “a little bit immortal”, Susan has a large range of abilities. Susan can see the world as it really is - While most people will ignore things like tooth fairies and bogeymen, dismissing them as being “not real”, Susan can see them. She knows they’re really there.

She can also walk through walls, make herself unnoticeable to humans, and make people forget about her. She can find anyone she wants to, as long as she knows their name.

Susan is also able to manipulate time, to an extent. She can stop time - although she describes it more as having her own personal time, entering a sort of time loop where everything stays still until she finishes what she needs to do. Essentially, she lives in time, but isn't bound by it.

She can remember the future, although this isn’t always helpful. Often this occurs in the form of fragmented images and dreams, that don't mean anything until she actually gets to the future.

Susan can use Death's voice, which is INDICATED BY SMALL CAPS and is described as being more like actions than words. It's describes as stating the way the universe will be - as such, other people are intimated by the voice, and will feel compelled to obey it.

She had also, on occasion, summoned the scythe of Death to her - but this is usually when she is filling in for Death.

Since she was seventeen, her hair has been capable of arranging itself into a new style all on its own. This is often disconcerting to other people.

Strengths

Her logical and sensible nature means that Susan always keeps her cool in dangerous situations - it takes a lot to rattle her. She is often the person who holds everything together when disaster strikes.

She doesn't get scared easily. In fact, Susan doesn't appear to get scared at all. Instead, Susan just gets angry, and uses that anger to her advantage.

Susan is particularly skilled at handling small children, thanks to her sensible personality and unusual tactics; if a child complains about a monster in the cupboard, she will hand them a sword. She finds that absurd insults are particularly effective. She also takes the view that children should grow up to be adults - as such, her philosophy of teaching is to give her students more advanced curriculum than normal for their age. After all, the point is to learn.

She is also good at maths and logic, thanks to her education. This helps her in her role as a schoolteacher - as does her ability to give the Look. The Look is very disconcerting to other people, even Death and authority figures. The Look is not threatening – it just makes you not want to see it ever again.

Susan has an affinity wield stick-like weapons, and is very good at any sports that involve stick like objects (such as hockey). However, she favours the fireplace poker. Also, while she apparently has not had any formal training with a sword, she doesn't appear to be uncomfortable using the weapon.

She can also whistle loudly by sticking two fingers in her mouth.

Weaknesses

While Susan is generally logical, her desire to always uncover the truth about mysteries means that she will sometimes investigate things that would, logically, be better left alone.

Particularly in relation to her grandfather, Susan will often do exactly what she has been told not to do (even more so if she's been told to not worry about something, or stay out of it). This means that others (i.e. Death) can manipulate her into doing what they want just by telling her not to do it.

Her cool demeanour also means that making friendships is difficult for Susan. She admits herself that most of the people she knows well are actually her students - and small children don't make good friends. She also rarely has romantic relationships, mostly because she intimidates any potential boyfriend.

Her powers, while significant, also have limitations. While she can make herself invisible, people who are used to seeing things like Susan - such as wizards, cats, and children - can see her. Her abilities are also all tied to death, so in places where death is weakened or non-existence, her abilities will not work.

In the past, her logical nature conflicted with the fact that she was also a part of a very un-logical paranormal world, although this has lessened considerably. She still has the odd moment of, "this can't possibly be real!", however.

She does not possess any musical ability. At all. Neither does really appreciate things like poetry. As far as she’s concerned, poets can like daffodils all they want, but they shouldn’t take more than a page to say so.

She does not possess any musical ability. At all.

Susan's main character trait is that she is sensible. She detests "woolly thinking", and always takes a practical, straightforward approach. She is also highly logical, even in the case of extreme situations, where most people would be acting purely on emotion.

As such, Susan is not one to live by emotions much. She's a rather chilly character, who doesn't often demonstrate affection. This doesn't mean that she doesn't have affection for others - it just means that she not likely to admit that she does care for someone. And even if someone she care for is in danger, if the logical action is to not save that person - for example, if there is a choice between saving one person and the entire world - Susan will choose the more logical action.

However, Susan will sometimes act purely on emotion - name, anger. While she tends to not display other emotions overtly, Susan had no qualms about displaying her anger. She might not say that she cares for someone, but she will say if she hates someone.

In fact, Susan will often use her anger as a weapon, and as a drive to reach her goals. She regards anger as being preferable to fear, and will recommended to others that they get angry, rather than get afraid.

Susan also has a complete lack of romanticism. She regards most great literature as pointless, and much prefers logic and maths over language and history.

She can also be very curious - she hates leaving mysteries unsolved, and she sees nothing wrong with going through her superior's personal papers (as long as she's the one doing it, it's alright). She detests not knowing things.

[Filtered to all staff. Unhackable.]

There will be a staff meeting this evening, at 6pm. We need to discuss recent events. I will see you all there.

I would like someone to tell the the name of the student who thinks running through the dormitory without clothes on is acceptable behavior.

I would like someone to tell me their name right NOW.


[ooc: No, she is not using the voice. Otherwise it would be in small caps. Plus the voice cannot travel over the internet. But if she was saying this out loud, maybe - just maybe - she would have slipped into the voice]

Vincent.

I am now ready. When would you like to duel?

When I find out who is responsible for this I am going to rip their head off.

I would like whoever organised this...game to know that I am not amused. Not only is this a severe inconvenience, it does not make sense. A series of duels will only be won by a person with great fighting ability – hardly a logical method of choosing a person of great power and political importance.

Besides, if you wish to revolutionize the world, do it yourself. Do not make me do your work for you.

But...as it seems I cannot remember where exactly I am meant to be at the moment...I shall play along. For now.
