Profile


Lavender Amethyst is a female skunk born in 279 ADD in the fishing village of Arowana's Wharf on the east coast of the Northern Empire. She grew up assisting her mother with trades in the local Black Market, until she was blamed for the death of a high ranking bureaucratic director, forcing her to leave town as a disgrace. She would eventually gain an infamous reputation as a fugitive assassin in the Empire.

Personality


Lavender is a very straight forward and sarcastic skunk who values keeping to behind the scenes. She often acts as additional insight in discussion and prefers observation and independence. She has no issue with breaking the law to survive, and as an assassin is willing to kill, as long as it's for self-defense or if she believes they deserve it. However, she is still capable of compassion and empathy to those she cares about and hopes to one day clear her name so she can give up her dark past.

Abilities


Lavender is very skilled with her twin sais, preferring discrete attacks that quickly neutralize her enemies.

She is also a Water Elemental, allowing her the ability to control the shape and flow of water, as well as use it in combat.

She is very adept at stealth, able to remain hidden and travel silently without leaving any trace of her presence. She especially uses this skill before performing sneak attacks on her targets.

Like all skunks, she can spray powerful musk, however she prefers to collect her musk instead for use in debilitating potions and poisons.

She has a prehensile tail, and will occasionally use it as a weapon to knock her opponents off balance or suffocate them.

Design


Lavender has mainly violet fur, with a white belly. A white, triangular shaped stripe begins on her forehead and goes down her back, splitting into two separate stripes that reconnect at her tail and rear. Her large tail is mostly white, with a violet stripe beginning on her upper back and running down the center of the tail. She has poofy white hair that flows midway down her back. White "socks" go up her paws and feet. She also has sharp fangs and cyan eyes. The insides of her ears are a lilac color.

Attire


Lavender's standard outfit consists of an electric blue gi with purple highlights. She wears darker blue sweatpants, with bright blue stripes going down the sides. She keeps faux-leather straps across her right shoulder and going across her stomach, as well as on her left leg. She often clips her skunk spray potions to the straps on her torso, and keeps a small knife strapped to the one on her leg. Around her neck she wears a lilac colored bandana.

Story


Early Life

Lavender grew up in the small fishing village of Arowana's Wharf, a subsection of the Eastern Colony Fuyou Zhong, along with her brother Indigo, mother Zisa, and father Lan. Her mother, a fence for the local Black Market, quickly noticed Lavender's sneaky nature, and decided to train her in the art of stealth, and would often take her with her to missions in the Black Market at an early age. Because of this, she was not able to keep friends for very long, becoming close with her brother Indigo instead. However, his curse, which brings bad luck to those around him, would often make it difficult.

Red Dragon's Fortune

When she was 16, Arowana's Wharf was under heavy pressure from the banks of Fuyou Zhong to increase fishing output to the city, but increased development had left the waters around the Wharf too polluted to meet their quota. Lavender soon learned of a cache of fish on the junk Red Dragon's Fortune owned by rat banking director Xing Jiao. The cache would be enough payment for the fish they would need if they sold it to the Black Market. She, along with Indigo, successfully infiltrated the junk and learned the cache was in fact only one fish, an arowana, otherwise known as the Red Dragon Fish. Once it was traded to the Market, the fisher's loans had been paid off.

This mission landed Lavender deep in the Black Market's inner dealings, and with help from Zisa, she became relatively well known in the trading underground. One such deal eventually resulted in her receiving her twin sais, which would become her personal weapons.

Disgraced and Outcast

A year later, Zisa learned of a rumor regarding Xing Jiao and questionable business dealings that would damage the fishing industry of the Wharf. Suspecting Jiao would hire pirates to attack the Wharf's fishing vessels during their trips and claim the losses on his insurance, Zisa asked Lavender to accompany Lan on his next mission. While at sea, they discovered Zisa had been correct, and Lan's junk soon came under attack from the pirate ship La Noche Séptima. After the pirates boarded, the crew was rounded up, except Lavender, who remained hidden. The bull captain singled out Lan to be executed, as it was pirate tradition for the captain of the captured ship to be executed upon its defeat.

Lavender saved her father by suddenly throwing one of her sais into the bull captain's back, killing him. The crew of La Noche Séptima then came after her, following her back to the pirate ship and allowing the fishers to escape. During the fight, she was able to tell her father to leave her to save his own crew, and though he refused, he was soon forced to abandon her once he realized the junk was running out of fuel. Lavender, now alone, was able to fight her way over to a lifeboat. As she was about to escape, a red fox named Tango Zoronado tackled her into it, dropping both of them in the lifeboat down to the ocean.

The pirates decided to leave the lifeboat behind, Lavender still fighting Tango. He eventually pinned her down, attempting to use his hypnosis powers to control her, but she defeated him with her skunk spray. She forced Tango to tell her who had hired the pirates, the fox confirming it had been Jiao. Calling a truce, Tango took Lavender to the docks where the Red Dragon's Fortune was moored before leaving her on her ownThere she snuck her way past Jiao's guards and confronted the rat. After revealing her knowledge of Jiao's involvement in the pirate attack, the director declared she was too dangerous to be able to go free, and ordered his guards to kill her. After backing her her into a wall, Jiao brought his dagger down on her, but she grabbed it and was able to hold him back. But soon Jiao slipped off balance and Lavender was able to use the dagger to stab him, killing him instead. The guards then used their electro-staffs to render Lavender unconscious for the Fuyou Zhong authorities to apprehend.

Lavender awoke in the jailhouse of Arowana's Wharf, where her mother soon met her. She explained Jiao's guards were claiming Lavender had successfully carried out an assassination of the director, and that her trial would be held the next day. At her trial she tried to explain Jiao's corruption, but no one believed her. For her sentence she was given a choice: to be executed or to be banished from Fuyou Zhong and Arowana's Wharf with a large bounty she was to pay back. She chose the latter, leaving the Amethyst name officially disgraced by the state. Lan's relationship with the Fisher's Union became strained, and Lavender was forced to say goodbye to her family.

Rise of the Assassin

Lavender traveled to the city of Cydisc, where she got caught up in its infamous Underground. She eventually found work as an assassin under the employment of an anonymous crime boss after proving herself by killing the head of one of his competitors. As she was assigned more contracts, she grew a reputation throughout the city, Cydisc law enforcement declaring her a public fugitive who was to be reported on sight. This garnered the attention of Tango, who happened to be in the city as well. He eventually located Lavender, who partially blamed him for her banishment from the Wharf. He explained he was no longer a part of the crew of the La Noche Séptima, and offered to keep an eye on the streets for her in case the authorities tracked her down.

Hunting Hunter

Lavender worked in the city for three years, until she learned of a bounty being offered by Grand Concentra City on a cheetah fugitive named Hunter Pantone, whom they wanted dead. Hoping she could pay off her own bounty by tracking him down, she followed him back east to a quiet coastal village called Shale Harbor. Ambushing him during his stop, she was able to best him in combat. But before she could strike the killing blow, Hunter offered her a deal. He recognized her from her own wanted posters, and informed her that even if she killed him they would still arrest her when she went to collect the bounty. Realizing he was correct, she let him go. He in return offered her pay if she would help him on his journey to the Fjord Reaches up north on his houseboat, to which she agreed.

Her New Life

They nearly reached the fjords when a blizzard overcame the houseboat. The storm knocked Lavender overboard, the violent waves nearly causing her to drown. But before the ocean took her, her dormant Elemental Water powers were awakened, and she was able to wash herself back to shore. Still unsure of what her newly found powers were, Lavender decided against returning to her life in Cydisc. After traveling south for several days, she had returned to Shale Harbor, taking shelter in the abandoned lighthouse on the cliffs there. From there, she made her new home, using the environment to explore her powers. For a time, she finally felt peace.

Joining the Resistance

A year later, Lavender got a call from Tango, asking if she had heard of someone named Hunter Pantone. The Northern Empire was still looking for him, and the reports claimed he had returned to Grand Concentra City. The next day, she left Shale Harbor, intending to find him. Not long after, Lavender found his houseboat, stashed away in one of the poorer districts of the city. He didn't trust her at first, but she assured him she wasn't there to kill him. She explained how she'd heard he was trying to help expose corruption in the city, and she believed that would allow her to pay off her bounty and wanted to join him, to which he accepted. Soon after, she was introduced to an arctic fox named Cerulean Azura, who'd also been living with him.

Later that day, Lavender spotted a pink clouded leopard sneaking around by the houseboat. Assuming she was a spy, she followed the leopard to several alchemists' shops in the city, where she watched her buy ingredients that could be used to create poisons. Confronting the leopard in an alley, the two fought, but Lavender quickly overpowered her. She questioned the leopard, who revealed herself as Rosa Amaranth, another associate of Hunter's. The two made up quickly, and soon Lavender became an important member of the Resistance.
