Murphy Smith

Murphy Smith, or better known as, Murphy,  is one of the players from the North American Server trapped in the MMORPG   Elder Tale. Sh e is a Human Pirate-Scholar whose  overskill is Paradigm.

In the real world, she is a 21-year old university student majoring in physics.

She contributed to many inventions and serves as the co-founder of the Academy of Science, an international guild of scholars, arcanists, and engineers across the North and South American Servers. The guild is part of the research sector and has contributed to the technological advancement of the western hemisphere.



Real Life Appearance
The author envisioned Murphy as a blend of Oriental, Caucasian, and Hispanic descent. Murphy is described as having skin 'the colour of honey' with dashes of barely-visible freckles across her face and shoulders. She has hazel, almond-shaped eyes and dark, close eyebrows. Her hair is a mess of wavy, dark brown and falls just below chest length. In most of the flashbacks, her hair is in a messy bun.

 According to Murphy, she had a decent figure and was of average height. She also always wore black-rimmed hipster glasses.  In-Game Appearance Murphy mostly retained her facial and bodily structure, with a few changes, including a noticeably shorter stature and a more curvacious body. Her hair—now a dirty blonde— is still slightly wavy but much shorter at shoulder-length. Her skin gained a gingerbread tan too, and, to Murphy's complaints, has lost her freckles. According to Jasper, Murphy's eyes has strikingly not changed in the slightest.

Her wardrobe consistently fits with the theme of pirates. Her outfit is usually coupled with leather, elbow-length gloves and a white, puffy, collared shirt tightentend with belts and sashes that stash her numerous of weapons. In non-casual settings, she can be seen with a knee-length dark wasitcoast and a feathered fedora. Amongst her many distinguishing trademarks include  a cuff earring on her right ear, and Buddihst prayer beads and a green-and-yellow string bracelet on her left wrist. She also consistently gets runes printed to her skin.

Personality


Overskills
Paradigm: The word, 'paradigm,' is synonymous with 'pattern,' and allows the user to seemingly 'connect the dots.' It's a more advanced form of pattern recognition. This Overskill is extremely difficult to perform, as it requires a vast amount of knowledge and creativity; it's a surprise that it comes very naturally to Murphy.
