- "You destroy nature, you face extreme consequences."
- ― Mother Green
Izara "Alicia" Kemofo (also known as Mother Green) is a mysterious and powerful beast master revered across Africa. She is a guardian of animalkind and mother of E.Z. and Imani.
Personality[]
Alicia is a deeply empathetic and compassionate soul with a profound connection to nature and all living creatures. Her bond with animals has shaped her into someone who values life in all its forms, making her fiercely protective of the vulnerable, particularly wildlife and the natural world. At the same time, Alicia is mysterious and reserved, rarely revealing her thoughts or emotions to others. The isolation she has chosen, living away from society in the wilderness, has made her introspective and somewhat distant from human relationships. While she once knew love and family life, her powers and mission have instilled a strong sense of sacrifice, leading her to put the needs of the natural world above her personal desires. Though quiet, Alicia is intense when she faces threats. She embodies the calm strength of a lioness—capable of patience and serenity but unleashing fearsome power when provoked. She has little tolerance for cruelty, especially when it comes to those who harm animals, and she can be ruthless toward those who exploit or destroy nature for their own gain. Alicia is also highly independent, preferring to work alone and rely on her instincts rather than seek help from others. Her years in the wild have honed her wisdom and pragmatism, allowing her to navigate the complexities of the natural world and human society alike.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Animal Mastery: Alicia possesses an unparalleled ability to tame, communicate with, and train animals, including the most dangerous and volatile beasts. She can also channel their strengths into herself temporarily. She can calm even the wildest of creatures and turn them into loyal companions, guiding them through a deep, mystical bond. Animals sense her presence and instinctively trust her, recognizing her as a protector of their kind. By using her staff, Alicia can summon any creature, no matter where they are. She has a powerful intuitive connection with nature and the animals around her. Alicia can sense their emotions, predict their movements, and even detect subtle changes in the environment.
- Sizzly: While exploring the wilderness, Alicia discovered a mysterious dragon egg and raised the small dragon-like creature that hatched from it, naming it Sizzly. It is Alicia’s constant companion, hovering on her shoulder and serving as both a guide and a protector. Despite its small size, Sizzly has dragon-like abilities. It can breathe small, controlled bursts of fire, which Alicia often uses strategically in battle. With its small wings, Sizzly can fly swiftly, scouting ahead or dodging attacks in combat. It also shares a telepathic bond with Alicia, allowing them to sense danger and communicate over long distances. Through Sizzly’s eyes, Alicia can gain insights into situations even when she’s not present.
- Enhanced Strength: Alicia possesses incredible strength, comparable to that of a gorilla. She can move and carry heavy objects, overpower enemies in physical combat, and break through obstacles with ease. She can also grapple with large beasts or fight off multiple opponents when necessary.
- Enhanced Speed and Agility: Alicia’s speed and agility rival that of a cheetah, allowing her to move with incredible swiftness and grace. She can outrun most enemies, dodge attacks with lightning-fast reflexes, and navigate challenging terrains with ease. Her agility makes her extremely difficult to catch or outmaneuver, both in the wild and in combat.
- Enhanced Stamina: Just as a lion can endure long periods of exertion, Alicia has remarkable stamina, enabling her to keep going for extended periods without tiring. She can engage in lengthy battles, chase down foes across vast distances, and survive harsh environments for long durations without showing signs of fatigue.
- Enhanced Endurance: Alicia’s body is highly resilient, with the toughness similar to a rhinoceros. She can withstand harsh conditions, recover quickly from injuries, and endure physical punishment that would incapacitate ordinary humans.
- Enhanced Senses: Alicia’s senses are heightened to a superhuman level, much like those of a hawk. Her vision is incredibly sharp, allowing her to see vast distances and detect even the smallest details, making her an excellent tracker and hunter. Her sense of hearing and smell are also heightened, enabling her to detect threats, locate animals, or sense changes in her surroundings long before others are aware.
Equipment[]
- Staff of the Green: Alicia's primary weapon and tool is a wooden staff she personally crafted from sacred trees found deep in the jungle. It is lightweight but incredibly durable, able to be used in combat for defense or as a blunt weapon. Alicia often carries it strapped across her back, with the staff's glow softly illuminating her path as she traverses the wilderness. It is also imbued with her animal mastery powers, enchanted to allow her to summon animals from anywhere in the world to aid her in battles or missions. The staff resonates with the essence of nature, making it an extension of Alicia's connection to the natural world. With a simple gesture, Alicia can summon any type of animal to her location no matter how far away. These creatures arrive to assist her in whatever task or battle lies ahead, acting under her guidance. The staff is enchanted to glow in different colors, acting as a dynamic indicator of the environment or nearby entities; Green indicates the presence of friendly creatures, animals, or people, signaling that no immediate threat is present. Red warns of imminent danger or hostile threats in the vicinity, alerting Alicia to prepare for combat. Yellow detects environmental anomalies, such as unnatural shifts in the ecosystem, magical disturbances, or dangerous traps, allowing her to navigate unfamiliar terrains with heightened awareness.
Trivia[]
- Alicia’s character and powers draw inspiration by Kraven the Hunter from Marvel Comics. Like Kraven, she possesses enhanced physical abilities and a deep connection with the animal kingdom, though her mission is rooted in protecting animals rather than hunting them.
- Before Alicia left her children, she marked them with their family tribe’s symbol on their chests.
- Alicia’s eyes were originally brown, but after she gained her powers, they transformed into gold. Interestingly, her two children were born with golden eyes, a genetic echo of her transformation, marking them as her descendants with latent potential tied to her power.
- Through deep meditation, Alicia has developed the ability to communicate with Mother Nature. She receives guidance, warnings, and insights directly from the natural world itself, further deepening her mystical connection. Some people in Africa, particularly in remote tribes, revere her as the incarnation of Mother Nature, believing that she embodies the spirit of nature itself.
- Alicia’s sanctuary, hidden deep in the African wilderness, is a secure, locked domain. It is protected by powerful magic that renders it invisible to outsiders. Any human who approaches will only see what appears to be ordinary, dense vegetation or a natural landscape, keeping her domain and the animals within it safe from discovery. Only those she allows or those with pure intentions may enter, and even then, it requires her permission.
