Outward

First Impression:  At a glance, she looks like a punk kid who's in need of someone to steer her on the right path. With her hand me down clothes and rough looking demeanor she looks like a person that you would not want to mess with. Escpecially once one gets up the courage to talk to her. She is a very serious girl and at times has bouts with her slight temper (very volatile when lit, a veritable bull in a china shop). And having to grow up fast and help take care of her family has made her a little more closed off with her emotions. But if she finds that she can trust you she can be the kindest person. 

Description: She often wears her brothers’ hand-me downs, and is often mistaken for a boy because of the clothing she wears (especially when wearing a bandana or hat). This is further enforced by her height, semi-gruff demeanor, and rather rude behavior. (liks to drill people with questions since she is very cautious.) She has long-ish, braided (dreadlock-like), dark red brown hair, and light brown skin. Has large, round green eyes, with a serious gaze that unsettles most kids, and some adults. (Slight evil eye, if you could call it that, but not really she just has a serious face.) She has an athletic build, but doesn't look like she would do very well in a fight with her baggy clothes.

Height (ft.):  5’3”

Weight (Ib.):  115 Ib.

Scent: A smell like that of sandalwood, with hints of white tea, lavender, and ginger ( the hinted scents come from her moms favorite perfume).

Combat:

Fighting Style: Melee fighter with no specific style in mind, anything that can take out her opponent as fast as possible (survival style??) (Did have some self-defense classes with her brothers when she was younger that she still keeps up with through memory and online videos.) And because she has "battle" experience in her fights with neighborhood kids, she has learned how to read her opponents' attack (to some extent.)

Personals:

Personality:   - good   - bad   - neutral


     Loyal-
    Become her friend, she's a friend for life. (no if, ands, or buts). But she is not gullible, so she's not gonna be someones friend right away. And because of this she tries not to fall in with the wrong crowd. And if she finds herself in that kind of situation, she cuts ties near immediately.

     Kind-
    She is a nice person once you get past her "protective barrier". She be pretty harsh on the outside, but has your best intrests in mind. She will help those in need if it is not too big of a problem.

     Protective-
    She is very protective of those she cares for. But sometimes it can get out of hand, especially if she thinks you're in trouble. Guess you could call it a "nagging mother" complex, which developed because of her living in a house of mostly men near her entire life. 


     Fury-
    Has quite the temper that has lead her to get into many fights with neighborhood kids. And when she is set off she pretty much flies into a blind rage, only focusing on whoever set her off. Which sometimes back fires on her if she is getting angry on a freinds behalf, in which case she might do more harm than good on occasion. 

     Sassy- (snarky as hell)
    She has quite the attitude and dosen't take nonsense from anyone. Very strongwilled and always speaks her mind, whether it is appropriate or not (cusses in spanish frequently so no one understands her), and is very sarcastic.

     Impulsive-
    'Nuff said. She really is a smart person, but... acts without thinking a lot... and sometimes can't get a handle on her emotions, hence the bad temper. And sometimes this can be quite annoying, especcially to her freinds and family. (once she gets the idea to do something, she acts on it...around 70% of the time).


     Wary-
    She dosen't blindly follow/trust anyone. Unless you've been her freind for a long time, she will always be guarded around you. Never sharing to much about herself, but shares just enough to make friends at the very least.

     Tenacsious-
    She is a really persistent person. In whatever she does she tries to give any task her all (110%). And because of this she never gives up.

     Observant-
    Because she is often alone, with the exception of her freinds and family, she has become very aware of her surroundings. Likes to 'people watch', and alert when she hears or sees any signs of trouble. (Ex. Sirens, smoke, etc.) (she either goes towards it or stays the hell away from it.)

     Respectful-
    She gives respect where respect is due. Even if she dosen't like a person, she will still give them the respect they earned, thusly she tends to talk more politely in front of these people.

Motivations:

Her family. (Pretty much her life, she is always helping them out, but that is what family is for).

To find a good paying job one day. (dosent want to struggle financially like her parent). 

To learn how to co-exist with ghouls.

Find her mother's killer, and make them pay.

Strengths:

Speed. Quick on her feet, not as fast as a ghoul, but still fast nonetheless. (running from the cops and getting into fights will do that to you.)

Street Smart. But dont get it wrong she is book smart as well, has a solid B+ in all her classes at school.

Weaknesses:

 Temper.
Strength. She is only as strong as an athletic 16yr. old can get.
Caring. Her caring too much about thoes closest to her is the main reason why she gets in trouble.

Stance on Amnesty:  "I'm 'happy' that the ghouls get at least some chance at a normal life among humans. So, its kind of a good thing, but just like any other type of law passed there will be thoes who are against it. I just hope that this peace lasts as long as it can."

Stance on Humans: "People are people. Doesn't matter about race, sex, or even species. There are both good and bad people in this world, as long as the bad ones stay out of my way, I'm cool with anyone." "Do to others as you would have them do to you and all that".

Stance on Ghouls: "I mean they are just like us... er... um... sort of." (Some of the bastards deserve to rot in hell, tho.")

Criminal Record: A few run-ins with the cops from some of her fights. Was detained and held overnight for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. (looks like a thug so they... well... ya. (-_-)) Other than that she's a good kid at heart.
