Coral Rosewood

Coral comes off as being very innocent, pure, and naive at first glance. She often tricks people into thinking she's totally helpless and in desperate need of assistance. Typically, the assistance she's after is monetary, or some sort of favor (in which she can take the time to steal all your valuables). However, her vulnerable persona is far from the truth. In fact, she's more than capable of taking care of herself, both in and out of combat. Once one sees through her con of vulnerability, her true personality comes to play. While she isn't necessarily mean, she IS a playfully nasty little thing. She loves cracking jokes and teasing others, though it's always in jest. She typically never tries to hurt anyone's feelings. She's energetic, bright, and optimistic, always seeing the sunny side regardless of the situation. She'll never say no to having a fun time, especially through going out and adventuring. She's a curious and daring girl, one who's up to try anything twice. While she isn't quite as innocent as she portrays herself for cons, she still does have a spark of almost childlike whimsy to her. She's an imaginative dreamer, and she lets her ambitions reach the highest heavens. Thanks to this, she's a magnificent actress and storyteller. She uses these skills to her advantage during her swindling deals especially, and can get herself and those close to her out of just about any sticky situation with a few improvised lines. She's pretty quick to act when the moment calls on it, and has gotten out of many close calls before as a result.

However, she does have her flaws. She's pretty emotionally oblivious a lot of the time, and can act in somewhat "tone-deaf" ways during emotionally-charged situations. She doesn't quite know when to turn off the playful energy all the time, and can sometimes come off as callous as a result. She doesn't mean to, however, and will apologize if she realizes she's hurt someone. She's incredibly stubborn, and she won't take no for an answer at all. She either follows her way or follows no way, in a sense. She's incredibly cocky, and will not hesitate to tease and mock even the strongest of opponents. She'll egg people on just for the fun of it, and often with no remorse (until she faces the consequences). This is especially the case if someone has personally upset her. She's very petty, and will make your life a living hell should you get on her bad side. She's prone to putting important matters on the back burner in favor of her current goal, which seems to always flit around in random directions. She has no real direction much of the time, and can become distracted easily as a result. While she isn't as naive as she portrays herself upon first meeting, she does still have a very idealistic view on the world. She likes to believe that she can be easily trusting despite her line of work, which can lead to her getting into some pretty tough corners when her trust blows up in her face. However, in the right company and with the right guidance, she can still be a worthwhile ally to have around.

Coral's dream in life was to become a performer, specifically a dancer. She dedicated her entire life to attempting to become a famous dancer. She soon realized that the idea simply wouldn't make ends meet, leading her down the path of thievery instead. However, her roots in dance are still ever-present to this day, especially in her combat style. She combines dance-like rhythms and acrobatics with dual chakrams in a frenzy of fast combat. She can use the chakrams to hook onto items such as poles and branches (really anything she can swing from), allowing her to do swinging acrobatic moves in midair rather easily. Her range and mobility are hard to beat, to say the least. However, in the event that she is at a disadvantage, she has some magic to help her out. While it isn't very helpful for offensive moves, she can summon pink petals (like those on the flowers on her clothes) for distractions. Whether she's using them as a smoke screen for a quick getaway, creating a body double of herself out of petals to distract an enemy or dodge an attack, or tangling a foe up in a whirlwind of pink to give herself enough time to strike, her magic provides another layer to strategizing in battle. These petal abilities have given her the nickname of The Pink Petal Thief.

Design notes:

• She has freckles on her face and shoulders!! Keep this in mind!!
• Her pigtails are asymmetrical!! One reaches about her bust, while the other reaches her mid-thigh! Keep this in mind, it IS intentional!!
• Her hair has a gradient in it! It gets lighter toward the bottom! The shades for the gradient are in her color palette!
• Her chakrams are pretty big! They're not MASSIVE, but they're still sizeable! Keep this in mind!
