Appearance
Camelia Cotton is a somewhat old woman, and while considered fairly fit for her age can immediately be identified as such. Her hair became solid white at a somewhat young age, and to those aware of the supernatural it even feels as soft as cotton. This on its own is plenty enough to have others consider her 'old', but years of working a desk job have also taken a slight toll on her vision and fine joints- furthering this matter. Her eyes notably seem to lack a pupil but this does not make her blind; she simply needs reading glasses.

That aside, she's hardly got one foot in the grave. While she has yet to accrue any advantages as something 'supernatural', she's athletic enough to still go on regular, albeit short hikes with a level of zeal. She takes care to do exercises in her home as well, engaging herself in her hobbies as much as possible.

Over all the result is the appearance of a very ordinary, even if short- she's only 4'11''- old woman. Thanks to her heat resistance she often wears layered sweaters and shawls, as well as a comfortable hat. This doesn't change in the summer, much to the confusion of many.

To the surprise of many, her appearance hides a couple of supernatural secrets however- first is her skin, as hard as any dragon's would be. The second is her hair itself; a number of white snakes, apparent tiny pythons, are hiding in there. She's quite fond of them.

Other Devices
Although Cotton lacks the unique devices of those who more actively partake in combat, that does not make her entirely unarmed. Being a member of Zodiac, she is sometimes assigned tools on loan for the purposes of on-field tasks.

In addition to such things however, Cotton herself is not as tech-oblivious as one would expect. In part out of a desire to keep up with her adopted relative’s interests, she does her best to stay aware of how computers function and update. While she hardly has a ‘full gaming kit’ given her budget (and for that matter her personal interests), she maintains a relatively worn, but nonetheless functioning desktop computer that she occasionally changes the hardware for.

Naturally this also means she has a proper smartphone- in fact, she’s often the first one to ask if someone wants her to look something up with it, being quick to point out that if they’re given the tools to do something, it would be silly not to use them for it. She got herself a flip-phone type, preferring to keep the screen covered.
ZODIAC DEVICE HISTORY
As part of her benefits from Zodiac, Cotton is granted certain tools ‘on loan’ for her work as an employee. At the moment, devices Libra users of Kaisou will have seen from her are few however, and it’s possible that they may not have seen them at all; Cotton is often given ‘home base’ duties, as her age and lack of supernatural ability makes combat something of an impossibility.

Known Devices
🐑 Shield Emitter • A device which activates a shield. While incredibly durable, this shield can only be held for 2 minutes. 1hr Recharge.

🐑 Nullifier • Power nullification device. When activated, all powers within the vicinity will be neutralized for 2 minutes. 1hr recharge.

Beyond this, any other devices of note in Cotton’s possession are listed under ‘Unique Items’.
Cotton Cookie

Soul Abilities;
Persona hestia | combat type
Persona Skills · spirit drain ·
Dresspheres trainer
PERSONA: HESTIA
A manifestation of Cotton's soul, access of which was granted by the Gacha Goodwill. Hestia can only appear in brief moments of casting, due to the constant magic drain- however when they do, they appear to encircle Cotton herself in a protective embrace, arms shaped akin to a large, round 'hearth'. The almost tear-drop shaped oven tops itself with the serene face of a woman, though depending on the light some could mistake it for a witch instead.

Hestia’s Abilities
Currently Hestia is equipped with only one ability; the skill 'Spirit Drain', which steals a portion of magical energy from an enemy to add to Cotton's own pool.

DRESSPHERES
Akin to a ‘Class Shift’, Dresspheres allow Cotton to access a variety of abilities she otherwise lacks. At the moment she has one Dressphere, that of the Trainer, or Summoner. She finds it familiar, and for a good reason; Cotton’s past life as ‘Cotton Cookie’ was one such cookie, summoning and commanding flocks of sheep.

Dressphere Abilities
🐑 Trainer • A dressphere which garbs Cotton in the clothes of a forgotten homeland, equipping her with a shepherd’s crook and lantern. While wearing this outfit, Cotton summons a fluffy ‘cream cotton sheep’ and becomes capable of the following abilities:
  • Animal Companion · A summoned cream cotton sheep, which follows Cotton's commands without question. They primarily attack by ramming opponents, but it seems they aren't meant to do this alone.

Visuals for Cotton’s Dresspheres are found below.

Pets + Creatures;
Amphibians + Fish · Paludarium

On her own time, Cotton keeps a somewhat large ‘paludarium’ that she’s worked with over a multitude of years. It’s a fairly eclectic build, using local materials and very little actual mechanics beyond a filtering ‘waterfall’. Despite this- or perhaps because of it- the temperature within it is somewhat cooler than most tanks, maintaining a high level of humidity.

This type of tank is precisely what the creatures inside it need however. While primarily home to fish and shrimp in the water portion, there are also unique, northern habitat frogs that prefer the land portion for hunting. She calls it her personal ecosystem.
Cream Cotton Sheep · Summon

Unlike creatures such as pokemon or even pets, the cream cotton sheep summoned with her Dressphere outfit doesn’t stay around when the costume is discarded. Cotton thus wonders where it goes during downtime. It doesn’t seem uncomfortable, so it must be alright she thinks.
Aake · Palisman

A wooden jackdaw that appeared in Cotton's craft room, trying to steal wool. Cotton took it in, and it seems to enjoy roosting at the end of her magic broom now. They're quite a lot more helpful than she expected, and she finds the bird rather charming. He's named in part for an old fable about eagles and jackdaw.
The Shoebill · Outside

While she expects plenty of geese and small birds, recently a large shoebill has started to take residence outside of Cotton's house. It isn't violent or anything, and is actually polite enough to bow their head when she leaves for work, but she's a little worried about any smaller animals in her area as a result.
Oolong · Tea Friend

A delightful living teapot Cotton purchased from the Goodwill- and she has no regrets. While she doesn't especially make a lot of oolong with them, they seem quite happy to serve whatever brew she's inclined to drink that day.

Unique Items;
WORN ITEMS


Dressphere (Trainer)
Technically a magical, innate object, this item places Cotton in a traditional shepherd’s costume from a far-away land. It allows her to access the magic of a ‘Trainer’.


Purse
A new purse that Cotton received from the Goodwill. She’s needed to replace her old one for a while, so it was good timing. She tends to store spare pens and snacks in it.


Oversized Fur Coat
An incredibly large, and incredibly large fur coat. Grandma deserves a treat.


Ring
A simple, but elegant ring. She doesn't wear it much, but it's nice to have the option.


Cape of Bees
Potentially the most dangerous thing in her wardrobe, even after her dressphere; while wearing this gaudy cape, swishing it unleashes bees!


Magic Shawl
A wonderful, simple shawl, commissioned from Santa by her coworker Rika. It grants a large amount of telekinesis in addition to 'sturdy', so she often wears it while commuting by broom.


Scarf + Bonnet
A lovely gift from Belle, which Cotton spent much of winter wearing. It's a cozy set, and one that suits her quite a bit.


Pearl Necklace
Like the ring, there's nothing too special about it, but it's nice to have a fancy option sometimes.
House + Home


Good Candles
A set of lovely candles which came inside a heart shaped box from the Goodwill. They're all fantastic quality, but Cotton isn't sure when the best time to actually use them is.


Magic Flyswatter
A unique flyswatter which appears in Cotton’s hand whenever she has need of it. Whether she can actually hit the insect in question is yet to be seen, but it’s certainly handy.


Thermometer
A wall thermometer which Cotton has placed near the balcony door. There is a label on it in marker which reads ‘keep it here’; Cotton herself tends to misjudge how hot it actually is.


Chopsticks
A normal set of chopsticks. Cotton knows how to use them, but does she know how to avoid knitting her noodles? Time will tell.


Unlimited Mapo Tofu
It's a lifetime supply of spicy 'Mapo Tofu'; Cotton's never had it before now, but as it's very tasty, she delights very much in her 'Mapo Tofu Box'.


Glutton's Fork
A magical fork that can be used to turn three items a day into 'illusion' food- such as a book becoming a 'book cake'. It's very fun, but Cotton needs to be careful with it.


Money Trash Can
A fascinating little garbage can that gives money when properly used. Cotton's making a neat little side bundle with this, as she keeps it at work.


Advent Calendar Spices
A series of incredibly good quality spices collected from a spare advent calendar at the Goodwill. She tried to revive Janet's potato salad with some of these, but alas, not everything can be salvaged.


Mittens + Pot Holders
A set from Belle's christmas gift, which has the theme of cooking cats- each piece says 'made from scratch', and Cotton makes an effort to use these when she cooks at Meropide.


Maxima's Christmas Cooking Gear
Delivered via Secret Santa, Cotton received not only a vintage holiday apron, but also various holiday themed cookie cutters- they came with a bag of peppermint candies to boot.
Miscellaneous


Screaming Rubber Chicken
She found it in her back with her thermometer from the Goodwill. It seems like it would be a fun toy for a dog, but Cotton doesn’t have such a pet. For now it’s in a drawer to be returned when she thinks of it.


Yarn
A ball of yarn that Cotton will be using for knitting. What she’ll knit with it is a mystery, but it looks very soft.


Chapter Books
A set of chapter books from a series she read as a child. She couldn't find these books as an adult, so they have a very special place on her shelf now.


Holy Rubber Duck
When it's on her person, this rubber duck causes local ducks to follow Cotton around. She's quite charmed by it.


Magic Rainstick
It's a rainstick that creates 10x10 foot microbursts of rain whenever it's used. Cotton hasn't noticed yet, but the people outside her window would probably like her to stop.


Kazoo
Simple plastic buzzer toy it may be, but while most would toss it away, Cotton can't help but feel nostalgic with things like this. Naturally, she kept it.


Void Denny's Membership
A unique card that she can present at Void Denny's for a random meal as desired. Unfortunately, while her spice tolerance is high, her tolerance for alien foods makes this a rare use device.


Advent Playset
Technically a model trainset calendar, Cotton found herself stocked primarily with plastic trees. This wasn't bad however; now she can use them for her knit displays when she wants a forest.


Advent Ventis
Numerous pieces of Venti/HolyHimmel merchandise came from her second spare calendar, and as oblivious as Cotton was to the matter, she thought much of it rather charming. As such, it's scattered through her home- and many of the figurines seem to be gaining little sweaters or scarves, finding themselves part of her knit displays.


Sir Bear
An adorable teddy bear, garbed in armor. Cotton lets it sit on one of her living room chairs.
WEAPONS + TOOLS


Knitting Needle Knives
They appeared to be a mere set of knitting needles, but as it turns out, they're actually knives; Cotton doesn't know how to fight with them, but she's thinking of learning to defend herself with them at least.


Fireball Jellies
For some reason, the term 'jellies' is familiar to her. It's an entire jar of 'jellies', but they're actually fire pellets. If eaten, or thrown, they detonate into a burst of flames. Fortunately, there's a warning on the jar.


Magic Broomstick
Despite looking like a regular broom, it can actually fly! She's saving its first 'drive' for Halloween, but might use it more regularly for commutes if it's smooth enough.

    • Joint Pain · Low (Slight Finger Arthritis)
    As a rather old woman, Cotton herself lacks much of what could be called a true 'ability'. She's fit for her age, but the term 'for her age' is still quite key. While she's capable of joining others on short hikes, perhaps even enjoying a camping trip, it's far cry from the flips and punches that many others in Kaisou seem able to pull off.

    Still, her years of experience leave her as a surprisingly helpful ally with regard to sense and puzzles. Cotton is incredibly difficult to phase and anger, which allows her to approach many situations with an air of calm. She's capable of reasoning out problems that others might be too frustrated to see logic in, or simply calming the mood of others with nothing but words.

    That said, she is not completely incapable of magic. In addition to an innate understanding of animal emotions, she is elementally in tune with Fire magic in Kaisou. During months in which this element is stronger, her magic therefore flares in tune with it. In contrast however, during water months her magic is often so weak that it appears not to be there at all.
    Fire Element Abilities
    🐑 Conjure Fire • Low Level
    • The ability to conjure a tiny flame; the amount emitted by a lighter.
    🐑 Conjure Fireworks • Medium Level
    • The ability to conjure small-scale fireworks, of any color.
    🐑 Elemental Weapon Creation • 24HR Limit
    • The ability to conjure a single weapon out of flame; the more famliar with the weapon, the stronger it can be.
    🐑 Fire Manipulation • Low Level
    • The ability to manipulate small, candle-sized flames. She can make them grow larger, or snuff them out; however, she cannot create fire from nothing.
    🐑 Heat Manipulation • Low Level
    • A slightly unreliable ability to alter the heat levels of objects via skin contact.
    🐑 Heat Resistance • Low Level
    • An innate ability which makes it difficult for Cotton to determine the true temperature of a room. She is incapable of feeling truly ‘hot’ until temperatures reach 100°F, or 38°C.
    🐑 Inspiration • Low Level
    • By giving a 'shonen' speech of some kind, up to 4 people can have their strength boosted for 2 minutes by 1.5.
    🐑 Liquid Heating • High Level
    • The ability to heat liquid to a boiling temperature. Cotton is capable of doing this to a bathtub's worth of water.
    🐑 Spice Tolerance • Medium Level
    • An innate tolerance for spices that can be considered ‘unbeatable’- particularly for an elderly woman of her upbringing. She considers ghost peppers to be mild.
    General Abilities
    🐑 Animal Empathy • A limited form of Animal Communication, which allows her to understand the emotions of all animals.

    🐑 Butter-no-Jutsu • A fantastic ability that allows Cotton to make copies of anything, made of butter. Used primarily for baking.

    🐑 Magic Crafting • An innate ability to weave enchantments and pockets for enchantments into her craftwork. The potential increases when using magic material.

    🐑 Prophecy • Medium
    • Cotton is a mild prophet, receiving the urge to knit certain images and objects according to impulses of what is yet to come in the next month. While relatively unaware of this ability, it will not likely be long before someone connects the dots.
    Monster Abilities
    🐑 Hardened Skin • Medium
    • A change attributed to becoming a Dragon. While Cotton's skin doesn't look any different, it is now much harder and difficult to pierce.

    Housing;
    Cathedral Hill Townhouse
    When Cotton first got her job with Zodiac, she remained with her family in their old home at Cathedral Hill; it was one of a small number of houses built in a terrace row, surrounded by quiet pockets of development that would one day branch out into various neighborhoods and places of worship. With plenty of parks and trees, it had been the perfect place for spirit-sensitive people to live.

    Cotton would however, ultimately never leave that house- her parents left it to her when they retired, considering it a final gift and possibly investment opportunity for her future. Cotton in turn was quite comfortable there, and by the time it fell upon her to take Susie in, had no good reason to pack up and move elsewhere. The house after all, had already been a little large for two- and Cotton's parents had one part moved into a nursing home, and another laid to rest in one of the many nearby graveyards.

    The Cathedral Hill Townhouse is a simple, but semi-classic place. It's no 'Brownstone', but it has some age to it, having been built for some time when Cotton first moved in. Upgrades have since been made to keep plumbing and electricity up to date, however. The house is a three storey, three bedroom structure, with a bay window front and a garage to the back. By technicality, the house has no true backyard as a result- instead having a small front yard with a gated fence leading to a path between the house rows.
    Because of the structure of the house, there isn't much on that ground floor level aside from the garage itself. Entering from the front door brings one to Susie's ground floor study as well as the powder room, and in the garage itself can be found shelves and under-stair storage for coats and shoes.

    The first floor up from here is where most of the living spaces are; the kitchen is what draws the eye first, but from there is the dining and living area, the latter fitted with a gas fireplace and a view out that continuing bay window. Moving from the kitchen however is the main floor bathroom, as well as what used to be the spare bedroom- something that has since been converted partly into Cotton's 'hobby room', hosting paludariums and other projects.

    Lastly then is the top floor, where the bedrooms are- both bedrooms have their own bathroom, and Cotton notably has the smaller of the two. While Susie's bedroom sits above the hobby room, Cotton's room carries the continuing bay window, and has a small sitting nook where she often reads before bed.
