Personality: Helen loves practical jokes, and will laugh at just about anything.
Powers: A sort of telekinesis – she can lift small to medium sized objects into the air – this includes kids. (Some of the little ones adore being lifted – this, along with her sense of fun, makes her quite popular among the small people. )
Skills: Entertaining kids, storytelling, pulling pranks, willingness to get up in the middle of the night if one of the little ones has an ‘accident,’ and she’s pretty good with a bow (mainly because she can nudge the arrows in the right direction with her power).
Likes: A good joke, anything she finds to be amusing, Dislikes: People who are too serious, people who absolutely refuse to have fun, and bratty, snobby, whiney people.
Appearance: Helen has very dark skin, wavy black hair, a huge, white-toothed grin and big brown eyes. She likes bright colours, when she can get away with wearing them. She’s relatively short for her age, and right in between skinny and well-built.
Looking for love: Sure thing
Other: Helen grew up in a large family, and that's why she's so good with kids. She was the third oldest, and had four younger siblings to look after.
She fights with a bow most of the time, because she dislikes getting up close and personal with her attacker. However, she’s developed a nifty trick if she’s caught without her bow; She lifts up small little things, like rocks and sharp sticks, and hurls them with pinpoint accuracy at her opponent. This also works with arrows, daggers and, possibly, carrots. (Very pointy, carrots. If you got one in your eye, you’d probably not like it much.)

Very sorry about the "not" posting. I've had a very large assignment due, and it has taken up most of my time. But now I'm here, and would like to know what exactly is happening.
And also, If I can. I want to make my two characters brother and sister, and fix up their shabby profiles.
All that's happened is Han and AnnaRose (my charrie and Ihsa's) have gone into the forest and found a place to sleep under a willow tree. They're on the run. So you haen't missed much.

Helen tramped through the woods in an uncharacteristically bad mood. “… Burn down our village, he said…” She grumbled, kicking a rock and sending it flying. “Make room for the Barons, he said… So what did they do?” she levitated the same rock and hurled it into the air. “They run around like a bunch of headless chickens!” She scoffed. “Get to the woods, I told them. Safer, I told them. But did they listen to me?” The same unfortunate rock was smashed against the ground. “No! The idiots decide to head out on the road – the same one the darn soldiers were on!” She lifted the rock to eye level, and looked at it very hard. “Whatever,” she muttered, letting the rock fall and walking on. “I guess that’s over, now.”
Helen marched along until it was late; a large willow tree with long, overhanging vines seemed to offer a decent amount of shelter, so she pushed he way through the vines… only to find that the spot was already taken.
“Who are you?” she asked automatically, surprised.

AnnaRose's eyes widened. She rose to her feet quickly and unsheathed her sword. A spy perhaps? "Who are you?" Rose echoed demandingly. She felt Han rise to his feet behind her. The girl didn't answer, she just stared. "I asked you something!" She barked. It was out of character for her to be like this, but she blamed it on the fact she was running from a death sentence. She had the rite to be flipping out.
"H-Helen..." The girl stammered. Rose felt guilty of her outburst. She hadn't meant to be a jerk, but what else was she supposed to do?
Rose felt Han place a hand on her shoulder. She breathed in deeply and relaxed her shoulders. Even if the girl was a spy, she probably didn't stand a chance. Oh, how Rose loved her gift.
"You idiot, that's poisin oak!" Atashi yelped at Lex as he pulled a leaf from a small bush. Lex looked up at, "I think I'd know if I was touching poisin oak, Atashi." He said in a plain voice.
Atashi scoffed as he began to rub his hands with the leave. Narrowing her eyes she shook her head. Lex looked up and a small smirk played over his face. She better not be right about the poisin oak. Lex thought as he began to scratch the tip of his nose with it.
"See, if it was poisin oak I would be very itchy...." Lex stopped. A small tingle ran up his body and on to his nose and arms. Looking down, nasty red sores were beginning to form.
Atashi grimaced, "Told you!" Jumping back she howled out for help. Lex began to scratch at his body the welts becoming more red and puss filled. "Help someone!" Atashi shouted.
"Help someone!" We all jerked our heads to the left. What the heck was going on? I heard a child's cries. My heart softened and I glanced back and forth between the two. "I'll be back. Don't move Helen." I lifted the branches out of my way and began to run towards the cries.
I was behind them in moments. A teenage girl and a little boy. There was a poison oak to their left and the boy was smothered in red welts. I rolled my eyes. This was just perfect.
"Need a hand?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
They turned to me, shocked. They were always shocked, I never made a sound. Once again I felt proud of my powers. The girl nodded. "He touched the poison oak." Her face was full of concern. The boy must have been her brother.
"I can see that," I groaned. Poison oak was impossible! "We've gotta get him washed off ASAP. I don't know if he'll come clean or not, poison oak is tricky. I had it once, but I can't remember how to get rid of it."
The girl nodded and turned to glare at her brother. "You scratch it, it spreads. You touch it I cut your... arm off." The boy only had one arm. I hadn't noticed that before. I burried my shock and looked around for any source of water. Finding none I let out a frustrated cry. "Okay, nix the rinsing. Get on my back kid, your sister'll have to keep up." The boy glared at me, but did what he was asked. I sprinted back to the tree, well ahead of the girl.
Lex jumped around the girls back, the frustration of not being able to scratch at the welts was becoming infuriating. Looking over his shoudler Lax noticed his siter following after.
Atshi rolled her eyes at him trying not to fall over the thick undergrowth. Man, she can run fast. Maybe I should just ask for a rest and let...no! Lex is in trouble. His fault for touching the darn thing. Yeah, but you're his sister. You can't just leave him go all by himself.
Blocking out the voices in my head I ducked under a thick branch tripping on one underneath me. Cursing loudly I looked up through narrowed eyes. Lax began to laugh as she watched his sister hit the floor in a lump of dirty clothes and unclean body parts. She was such a clumsy oaf.
