Alright, my SU is done, so here you go! I sent Jegretis a message whether or not it was okay for me to use a Shadow as my species, but I just couldn't wait for him to get back to me with writing this SU :x So please, Jeg', if I'm not allowed to do this, just tell me and I'll change it around!
Name: Caitlynn
Species: Shadow (There isn’t really a name for the species I have in mind, but basically, if you’ve played it, it’s what the Shadow Sirens are. I’ve googled everywhere and cannot find their exact species. For those who haven’t played the game, here’s a quick reference of the Shadow Sirens in the game:

Age: Looks and acts like someone in their early-to-mid 20’s, but it’s kind of hard to tell what her real age is.
Gender: Female.
Appearance: As the shadows seen in the game, Caitlynn is almost entirely made out of a purple/dark substance that never seems to leave the ground. As she’s able to completely retreat into the shadows, she can go completely invisible, but a telltale sign of her coming out of the shadows, is that a patch of the shadows turn into a more purple hue just before she comes into view again.
Her body-type is more akin to Vivian (

The white gloves on her hands are a lot smoother than in the picture, the hat on her head is white and a lighter shade of purple than her body, her hair is dark-blue and not at all curly. In fact, there’s a fringe that moves down and left across her face, to cover where her right eye would be, and the hair behind her is a little shorter, only just reaching past her shoulders. She also wears a scarf wrapped around her neck, which reaches further down her back than her hair, in the same, striped design as her hat, which is an icy blue, as if a hue-contrast to her dark-blue hair.
Personality: Caitlynn is generally a happy, positive type of person, enjoying what she does, especially when it comes to helping out customers in the shop she works at. However, when it comes to people she’s never met before, or generally people who seem very alpha-male-y, she can get very meek and apologetic, not wanting to do something wrong in the eyes of others.
After working for several years in the item store of Quiet Meadows, Caitlynn began borrowing books from the library in the school and college, wanting to expand her knowledge of items in the world and hopefully, one day, open up her own store somewhere, filled to the brim with both wares and customers that she could help out.
Likes: Meeting friendly people, gloomy and generally darker areas, reading and above all else, ice cream.
Dislikes: Yelling, unnecessary violence, intense light, vegetables.
History: A few years ago, Caitlynn came into the city battered, bruised and generally looked like she had been in a fight for her life. She collapsed before anyone could get to her. Frankly, nobody had seen a being like her before, so they were all at a loss for what to do with her.
That is, until the Toad that was the owner of the item shop arrived and asked for help in bringing her to his home to nurse her back to life. When she came to, it was quickly evident that she had no memory of what had happened, most likely due to whatever trauma she had just been through.
With her memories lost and her past a mystery, Caitlynn had no desire to go anywhere, especially not without repaying the debt she felt she had towards the toad who had taken her in, despite nobody knowing whether she was dangerous or not. So, Caitlynn regained her strength after several days of resting, and began helping out the toad she would come to know as Russel by working in his store. He was happy for the help, and over the years, Caitlynn grew to love the work she was doing and talking to customers, however wary most of the citizens of the village seemed. She made sure to keep her distance and not get into any trouble, keeping a low profile while helping Russel as best as she could.
Attacks:
• Pow!
Caitlynn aims her finger at her opponent, concentrating her shadowy energy within her hand and proceeds to fire a shadowy 'bullet' at her foe.
• Umbra Fire
Being in tune with the element of fire, Caitlynn is able to create either a spray of shadowy flames that burn many opponents, or a focused, shadowy fireball that’ll only hit one enemy.
