Team Shiseijū: Das Tor, Redbud-Tree, -_Wish of Tevarae_-, Kitsune Mistress Nyoko ---------- Name: Shizuka Minami Nickname: Zuki (By Natalia), Zucchini (By Natalia), Shizu (By Merle) Age: 16 Birthday: August 20th Sign: Leo Gemstone: Sardonyx Blood Type: O+ Fav. Food: Melonpan Hated Food: Zucchini School: Meadowview High School Hobbies: Singing - Even as a child Shizuka had a beautiful voice, and as soon as she was old enough her parents signed her up for her school's chorus. Initially it was just something she did to kill time, but after landing her first solo it became a passion of hers. Having all eyes on her while she's belting out that final high note is the biggest rush she knows, and she's more than happy to put in the work to improve if it means she can keep getting attention.
Sewing - This particular hobby started out as something Shizuka did with her mother, and more in the sense of mending old clothes than creating something new. But soon enough she started to get a bit more creative, and she found she enjoyed creating something unique just for herself. Upcycling thrift store finds is one of her favorite ways to add new things to her wardrobe, although she's perfectly able to make things from bolts of fabric when the mood strikes her.
Photography - What started as just the occasional picture of something Shizuka found neat or wanted to remember spiraled into a core part of how she interacts with the world. It isn't uncommon to find her taking pictures with her phone when she's out with her friends or family, and she meticulously sorts through these pictures for scrapbooking purposes later. Every major event has either an entire album or a scrapbook in the works, with the completed ones holding a special space on her bookshelf. Virtues: When You Need A Helping Hand - When it comes time to ask for a little assistance, Shizuka is always a good person to turn to. Whether it's lending her skills to sew costumes for the drama department or going out of her way to brighten someone's day, she's always willing to offer her support where she feels it's needed. But not all help is tangible, and a listening ear and a warm shoulder are things she's just as likely to offer as her practical skills. A little kindness can go a long way, and if she can do the tiniest thing to show someone that the world isn't all bad... Well, she thinks it's worth it in the end.
I'm Not Going To Mince Words - Shizuka isn't one to beat around the bush. She has a blunt honesty that's almost refreshing in the days when people are just as soon to go behind your back about something on the internet. If she thinks a sweater makes you look bad or if you've done something to upset her, she'll let you know and she won't try to cover it up. That being said, her honesty isn't for the purpose of being cruel. While she doesn't hide things, she will do her best to soften the blow when she knows someone needs to hear something. And she knows there are times when the best way to be honest is to stay silent.
Nothing's Gonna Bring Me Down - As far as Shizuka is concerned, the glass is always half full. Everything that happens has a purpose, and there's no reason to sweat the small stuff when you can just keep moving forward to something bigger and better. She doesn't let the unexpected drag her down, and her upbeat attitude is borderline infectious. Energy and enthusiasm are practically her default setting, and it's a difficult feat to put a damper on either. Any attempts to rain on her parade might be met with a comment on how much she enjoys the rain at worst, and her outright enjoying herself to spite the attempt at best. Flaws: I'm The Center Of The Universe - If there's one thing Shizuka can't get enough of, it's attention. She thrives the most when all eyes are on her, and absolutely despises being ignored. Her attention seeking nature can be a source of conflict with people who find it annoying, especially those who try to point out her flaws. Her opinion of herself is strong, and she refuses to let anyone try to change it - even if they're trying to better her. She's perfect the way she is, and anyone who thinks she isn't is just trying to tear her down for no reason.
What's Mine Is Mine - The biggest and most glaring problem with Shizuka is easily her tendency to get overly attached. She has a difficult time embracing the concept of friends having other friends, and can get extremely jealous when she finds the people she cares about spending more time with people that aren't her. And as bad as it gets with her friends, it can get even worse when she's dating someone. Hanging out as a group is all well and good, but she wants to be the only person spending quality time with her besties.
Things Need To Move Quicker - There's nothing in the universe that gets on Shizuka's nerves quite like having to wait. She likes her gratification to be immediate, and when it isn't she gets irritable and anxious. If things aren't moving fast enough for her liking, she has a bad habit of skipping over important steps in the hopes of getting to the end result quicker. This goes about as well as one might expect, and a lot of the time her speeding through things tends to blow up in her face in the end. Unfortunately, she still hasn't quite learned her lesson that the old adage of patience being a virtue is actually true. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Eyes: Honey brown, and angled slightly upwards with an epicanthic fold. (Hex code: #A05806 ✿) Hair: Shizuka's hair is dark brown. While it is naturally straight, she most often styles it into loose curls. It is cut into a chin length bob with bangs that fall just above her eyes. (Hex code: #2B1809 ✿) Face: Shizuka has an oval-shaped face with high cheekbones. Her nose is small and has a narrow bridge, and her lips are thin. Her skin is light brown with a yellow undertone. (Hex code: #D7AD87 ✿) Clothes: Shizuka accessorizes her Meadowview uniform with a charm bracelet that she is always adding new charms to. It currently has six charms - a dragon, ballet slippers, phoenix, thimble, microphone, and camera. She also swaps out her shoes with a pair of cute heeled loafers. When outside her uniform, she tends to wear clothes that she finds both cute and comfortable. Oversized shirts, sweater dresses, plain leggings, and boots are all staples of her wardrobe. ---------- Senshi: Sailor Suzaku, Senshi of the South Challenge: The lovely phoenix of the south will burn out chaos!

-Duration: Immediate; Effects last thirty seconds.
-Usability: Three times per battle; One minute cooldown after previous use dissipates.
-Visual: Suzaku lifts her arms and spreads them wide, palms facing towards her opponent. A pair of crimson illusory wings form over her arms, and she flaps these wings towards her target. The wings vanish after her attack makes contact.
-Effect: The targeted enemy is immediately hit with the sensation of strong heat, as if they are standing outside in the middle of summer. The intense heat can weaken enemies and make it hard for them to concentrate.
-Weakness: Only weakens enemies. More experienced enemies might be able to ignore effects entirely. Super Sailor Scout Attack: Scorching Heat -Purpose: Offensive; Debuff
-Duration: Immediate; Effects last thirty seconds.
-Usability: Three times per battle; One minute cooldown after previous use dissipates.
-Visual: Suzaku lifts her arms and spreads them wide, palms facing towards her opponent. A pair of crimson illusory wings form over her arms, and she flaps these wings towards her target. The wings vanish after her attack makes contact.
-Effect: The targeted enemy is immediately hit with the sensation of intense heat, as if they are standing outside in the middle of a summer heatwave. The sweltering heat can weaken enemies and make it hard for them to concentrate. It can also cause heat rash and mild sunburns that last after the attack fades.
-Weakness: Only weakens enemies. More experienced enemies might be able to ignore effects entirely. Eternal Sailor Attack: Frenzy of Suzaku -Purpose: Offensive; Moderate Damage
-Duration: Immediate; Requires five seconds to cast.
-Usability: Two times per battle; One minute cooldown after previous use.
-Visual: Suzaku extends her hands in front of herself and a crimson illusory feather appears in her palms, pulsing with energy. When the energy reaches a crescendo she brings her hands towards her face and blow on the feather, which scatters into ashes that go on to form an illusory phoenix which flies towards her target. The phoenix dissipates when it makes contact.
-Effect: The targeted enemy takes moderate damage when the phoenix makes contact.
-Weakness: Suzaku cannot move while casting. Interrupted casts still count as a use. ---------- History: Shizuka was born in Destiny City, to third generation Japanese-American parents. While she speaks rather fluent Japanese, she can't read or write a single word of it. Her parents never enforced any particular traditions on her, and while some of her favorite comfort foods tend to be Japanese foods taught to her by her mother, she enjoys American foods much more regularly than anything one might consider "traditional." As for her history with her friends, the four girls all met while helping out with a local drama production at Meadowview. Shizuka, Fleurelle, and Merle all lended their sewing skills to work on the costumes while Natalia worked as a lighting/sound technician. The four became fast friends, and by the end of the production not only were they all besties, but Natalia and Shizuka had started dating. Their awakening as senshi was... Well, it was entirely accidental. It was supposed to just be your average day hanging out for the four of them. But on the way to the get together, Fleurelle "found" what she believed to be a lost cat. It certainly looked like it had an owner, and it was probably better to take the poor thing with her to keep it safe and find whoever the cat belonged to with the help of her friends, right? But once the four girls were together with the cat, it became clear that they had the potential to be senshi. The cat revealed itself to be a guardian, and awakened all four of them in one go.

Name: Natalia Irina Ivanovna Nickname: Nat, Talia, Irina Age: 16 Birthday: November 22 Sign: Scorpio Gemstone: Yellow Topaz Blood Type: AB+ Fav. Food: Cold Pizza Hated Food: Peanut Butter School: Meadoview High School Hobbies: Tech: Between woodwork, sound crew, and lighting, Talia finds herself in love with doing Stage Tech work. She fell in love with the elegance of doing work in the catwalk, or even just on the ground, helping out wherever she can, and so the girl has gathered a name in the Drama department at Meadowview. She is the one that is always willing to help out with a performance, even if she has one of her own to focus on. This was also how she met her friends, and so ever since, the girl has had a new passion. It helps that her father taught her how to fix a sound system...among other things. Mechanics: This was more of something her father taught her. The man raised Talia to be self-sufficient, and this included teaching her wiring and cars. While she's not entirely proficient in this, and still has some struggles in the realm of figuring out just what the hell she's doing, Talia can mostly figure out tech, given a fair amount of time and a manual. She still works with her father on learning how to get better. Dance/Gymnastics: Since she was about five, Natalia has been a ballerina. Raised a dancer, the girl takes a mix of comfort and pride in dancing, and it is as much a part of her as her own personality. Dancing provides her with an outlet that is sorely needed, and she uses it to the fullest extent. Combine Ballet with Gymnastics, and Tali becomes flexible and agile. She likes that it keeps her body in peak physical condition, and often will proudly show this to anyone who asks. Virtues: Tactical - An excellent tactician, Nat's mind is almost entirely logical, completely geared towards thoughts of what's coming next. It's part of the reason she is able to stay two steps ahead of most people. She analyzes everything in her life like a dance, learning every step before approaching a problem and taking it head on. She's not the sort to ever go in to something without having learned as much as she can, or at least enough to satisfy her own curiousity. Gentle- However, Nat is a soft girl. She's always got good advice, and seems to have a natural love for children as well. When she's around people she can truly relax with, which at the current moment is only 3 people, she smiles easily, laughs more, and seems almost like a normal 17 year old. She loves making kids smile, and will let herself relax when around them, just enough to make a crying infant giggle, or a wailing toddler quiet. She likes being around any kid, and seems to almost do better with them, than kids her own age. She likes to spend some of her spare time at the animal shelter, helping out by walking the dogs, and feeding all of the animals. Her father's had to remind her that she's not allowed to take all of them home. Reliable - Talia is not the sort you want to try to draw away from a task. She has a one-track mind, and once she's on a tangent, it's damn near impossible for her to be drawn off it. She is dedicated wholeheartedly to what she believes is meant to be done, and if she says that she's going to get something done, it will be done. It's rare for her to be unable to complete a promise's deed, mostly because of the fact that when she's decided it's important, her entire being delves deep in. Schoolwork, her ballet, Gymnastics, and her friends and father seem to be the ones that see this trait the most at the moment. Flaws: Distant- Talia doesn't seem to be the sort to be able to make connections easily. She's the face in the back of the crowd that's staring at everyone else, letting her judgements be formed by how they interact with OTHERS. When interaction with her is suggested, she tends to clam up, and often this can lead to some confusion. A part of her isn't sure whether to take their actions at face value, or to read into it. Most of the time, the way she stands back and watches, she begins to read into it. It's all too much sometimes....Too strange. She can overload when she tries to focus too close because of it. Oblivious- Talia's distance does leave her with a bit of an issue, however, and that is the fact that she can often manage to be completely oblivious. So lost in her own little world. The fact is that other people's personal beliefs and mentalities have never really mattered to her, and so when they tell her that she's done something 'offensive', she'll often have no idea what in God's name they're talking about. The fact is that she believes that outside of what she understands, and what she does, other people don't matter as much in the grand scheme of things. Manipulative- It's not past her to use whatever means at her disposal to use people. If she believes that something is a good idea, and she does not have the means to do it herself, she will find some way to simply make it someone else's problem. Mostly because...why in the hell does she have time to get it done? It doesn't matter. She's convinced people to do her homework for her, and flirted with people that she barely knows, using the information she takes in from watching them. She's not below blackmail either. She may not be squeaky clean, but at the very least she knows how to play her game so that her own dirty laundry stays hidden. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Eyes: Pale blue eyes, with an almost silvery hue, set into almond-shaped eyes, the lashes are long and give them almost a lidded appearance. [Ref]Hair: Coppery orange, with darker brown lowlights, set in a long, bang-less style about her face. It's layered slightly, but not enough to make it difficult to put up in a bun after school. She leaves it long and loose, and the style ends about at her mid-back. [x] Style[x] ColorFace: Oval face, with freckles across the bridge of her nose and spattering across her cheeks. She has a flat-bridged nose, with a turned up tip, and full lips, high cheekbones, almost a delicate look. It compliments her petite body, and lithe build. Clothes: [for later] Natalia dresses in a very high-fashion manner, usually loose dresses with boleros, or some kind of long shirt and tights combo, with flats. Mostly due to her own sensibilities, the colors range from black and red, to pale cream and soft peach/pinks, though she steers towards the former. [x]xSenshi: Seiryuu, The Senshi of East Challenge: "The elegant Dragon of the East will root out Chaos!" Attacks: Sailor Scout Attack: Splintering Shower - Seiryuu summons small barbs of energy that manifest in a seeming of splinters about her. Drawing her hands back and then thrusting them forwards, she sends the shower to strike her enemies. This attack effects one target, and makes them feel as though they've been struck all over with sharp darts, causing a very small amount of damage. The attack is instantaneous, and the effects vanish shortly after manifestation, leaving behind a feeling similar to a splinter in the skin. Seiryuu is left open during summoning and is drained by the use of this attack. Super Sailor Scout Attack: Splintering Barrage - There is a glittering in the air as Seiryuu opens her arms, the splinters manifesting almost as glittering teeth about her. This shower is wider in size behind her than the prior, and as she sends her hands forwards, the shower sails towards the attackers. This attack effects up to three targets, and gives the feeling of being pierced by sharp, wooden barbs. This attack is instantaneous, and leaves a feeling more akin to being stabbed, and does a slightly larger amount of damage than its predecessor. Seiryuu is left open during summoning, and is drained after the use of this attack. Eternal Sailor Attack: Brutality of Seiryuu - Behind the young woman, the image of a dragon forms, seemingly out of vines, though it takes on a blue hue, with eyes of glowing gold energy. Talia's eyes close in focus, and she pirouettes. As her hand points towards the target, the dragon rushes forwards and deals damage to the enemy. This attack effects one to three targets, and leaves the feeling of being knocked into by a very solid figure. This attack is instantaneous and leaves the feeling of being lashed by vines, and does the greatest amount of damage. Can only be used twice during combat. Seiryuu is left open during summoning, and if interrupted, this is still counted as an attack. History (Personal): Talia was born in Russia. While she's never known her mother's name, or even her face, she was raised by a loving father. Ivan raised her close, and she's always all but doted upon him, happy to follow the man wherever he leads. She began schooling around age 5, and at her father's insistence, took to Ballet not even a few weeks later. It began as a way to make him proud. As she grew, he began to teach her how to work with mechanics, wiring and lights, and moved on, as she moved into her pre-teen years, to cars. Her father moved them first to America when she was nine, then to Destiny City around four years ago, telling Natalia that it would be good for the two of them to have a change in scenery. Initially, she wasn't sure what to make of it, but after meeting her friends, and beginning to date Shizuka, she's decided...she rather likes it here.

Name: Merle Audley Nickname: Uh...Mer? Most just call her Merle. EXCEPT TALIA. Age: 16 Birthday: April 23rd Sign: Taurus [Aries Cusp] Gemstone: Emerald Blood Type: O+ Fav. Food: Strawberries and hot cocoa Hated Food: Eel School: Meadoview High School Hobbies:Violin - Merle began this when she was in late elementary school, fascinated by the instrument and she practices at least five days a week for ten minutes, if she can't find more time in her schedule. She usually manages a good chunk more time than that, however. And she loves doing covers. Sewing - A hobby picked up as a kid entirely because she wanted to help her Daddy make princess dresses, Merle has since grown past that and loves to sew not just SCA garb, but helps out the drama department and makes a good chunk of her own clothes. She's not very good with embroidery [she leaves that to Fleurelle or patches and ribbons and the like], but she can come up with some very nice outfits and clothing mods. SCA - Merle grew up in the Society for Creative Anachronism, and it's still a big part of her life. She attends the weekly fight practices for her barony, and is the under-18 leader for the boffer group at it [aka, the safer version of heavy fighting], goes to the monthly business meeting because even if she can't vote, she wants to keep informed, and goes to every event her allowance can afford. Fencing - With Merle's love of knights and all things chivalrous, it wasn't surprising that she begged her parents to get her fencing lessons when she was a kid. She's continued them well into her teenhood, practicing at least twice a week in a local class. She's also more than happy to show off for anyone who asks! Virtues:Honorable - Merle was raised on tales of chivalry and knights, of honor and good. And this shows in the way she keeps herself to a high moral code. She's not the sort to stab someone in the back, literally or metaphorically, and she'll do her best to keep her word if she gives it. She tries to help out where she can, and to be polite and courteous to all, not just her 'betters'. Enduring - Merle is very good at waiting things out, at being patient, at being steady. Perhaps things do not look like they'll turn out for the better? She'll still try and stick it out. The challenge is a little harder than she was told? Fine, Merle will just keep plodding forward. She's not in it for the easy route; she'll put in the work in life and her relationships. Idealistic [the good] - Merle is that girl who sees the bright side of things. She thinks about the world as it could about, about the good that's out there. She's the sort who will offer a new face or an outcast a seat with her, who will argue that the potential for good is in everyone...whether they choose to use that potential or not is another story. Flaws: Idealistic [the bad] - Merle isn't naive...but she does see the world a little TOO brightly sometimes. She'll try too hard to win someone over, or think that the way of honor and right is the only way to go. She'll focus too hard on the 'how things can be' instead of the 'how things are'. She is the sort who would go to try and talk someone out of something, and be surprised when they turn on her. Implusive - Merle doesn't always think before she leaps. She tends to follow her heart, and thinks that because she strives so hard to be good that...well, thought isn't always required. Needless to say, it's gotten her into more than a few binds, as she'll step into things she doesn't need to and sticks her nose where it can get bitten. Self-sacrificing - Merle puts others before herself. Always. It is the needs of others that a knight attends to, and Merle likes to style herself as a knight, so...She wants to make sure everyone else is taken care of first, that everyone has a seat before she's got one, and she'll take the hit instead of an ally in a heartbeat if she can manage it. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Eyes: Bright tealish-blue Hair: Dark pink-red, chin length, see ref Face: Heart-shaped and made for smiling. Slightly tanned, causcasian skin Clothes: At school, the Meadowview uniform. Out of school, Merle tends to dress for comfort and ease of movement, with light colors being preferred and a medieval/fantasy motif not being rare at all. She's VERY fond of a specific pair of earrings and a ring, however. Please see ref for them. RefSenshi: Sailor Genbu, The Senshi of North Challenge: The solid tortoise of the north shall strike out chaos! Attacks:Sailor Scout Attack: Fast Bite! Genbu draws back, calling out the attack name and spreading her arms out vertically. She then lunges forward and claps her hands back together, the image of a tortoise snapping its jaws shut overlaid on her own for a moment. This attack affects one target directly in front of Genbu, causing a jolt of awareness towards Genbu as if she's pinched them with very, very cold metal fingers, very hard. The attack is instantaneous, the chill vanishing shortly after the 'bite' has occured. She can use this attack three times per battle. Super Sailor Scout Attack: Savage Bite! Genbu draws back, calling out the attack name and spreading her arms out vertically. She then lunges forward and claps her hands back together, the image of a tortoise snapping its jaws shut overlaid on her own for a moment. This attack affects up to three targets up to five feet in front of Genbu, causing a jolt of awareness towards Genbu as if she's pinched them with very, very cold metal fingers, very hard. The attack is instantaneous, the chill vanishing shortly after the 'bite' has occured. She can use this attack twice per battle. Eternal Sailor Attack: Rage of Genbu! Genbu takes a large step back, spreading her arms open as the image of the Great Black Tortoise is superimposed on her own. As she claps her hands back together, the image of the tortoise opens its mouth and lets loose a cone of freezing air. The cone affects Chaos agents up to ten feet in front of her, with the widest point of the cone being five feet in diameter. The cone disappears five seconds after it is released: long enough for the targets to feel like they've been hit by a deep-winter wind, but not long enough for frostbite or such. It's a good way to get attention on Genbu, though. She can use this attack twice per battle. Personal History: Merle and her little brother Everard are Army Brats, born in military hospitals, raised across a few states in the USA [and a couple of foreign countries], and they still have their dependent military IDs. Their mother, however, is no longer around due to being KIA in Afghanistan a year ago. Merle has taken it as well as she can, clinging to her friends [even as Fleurelle clings to her], and going to grief counseling and letting her father's family fuss over her and her brother now and then.

Name: Fleurelle Lapointe
Nickname: Fleur, Flower, Wildflower
Age: 17
Birthday: April 21st
Sign: Taurus
Gemstone: Emerald
Blood Type: A-
Fav. Food: Grilled salmon with a strawberry sauce.
Hated Food: Red meat - Fleurelle isn't a vegetarian in that she will eat fish and most poultry, but she cannot stand meats such as beef or pork.
School: Meadowview High School
Hobbies:
Harp - Fleurelle's been taking music lessons since she was about six, and while at first she attempted piano she quickly found herself drawn to the softers, ethereal sounds of the harp. She practices is regularly, at least half an hour to an hour a day and more if she doesn't have something else to be doing. She will occasionally skip a night or so, but only if there's something more important!
Volunteering - This hobby is one that Fleurelle has been forced to take a hiatus from in recent months, but plans to get back to it as soon as her mother's health is secure. You see, Fleurelle doesn't volunteer as just anything - she works as a candy-striper in the hospital, and intends to go to nursing or medical school someday. She has had to temporarily step back from it due to her mother's immune system being in a very delicate state, but once that's passed she has every intention of returning. (Even now she still brings cookies and the like by when she can.)
Sewing - Fleurelle is an ace in home-ec and particularly enjoys sewing both as a class and as a hobby. While others favor a more practical bent in their looks, Fleurelle adores embriodery and other often-tedious work. It allows her to find peace of mind and acts almost as a form of meditation for her, while allowing her to create and embellish beautiful clothing and costumes.
Virtues:
Gentle - Fleur is very softhearted and eager to step in and soothe hurts and mend hearts. She is a genuinely kind person who can't stand seeing people or animals in pain. Her first instinct is to go to someone or something that is hurting, and usually she does so, providing soft words or a hug as needed. In fact, she's something of a bleeding heart, and is usually the first to go after that classmate who's been bullied and is hiding in the classroom, and among the quickest to tend the wounds of those who have gotten into a fight. While the blonde isn't particularly eager to step in and fight, she can usually be found trailing after those who take a more active role, first-aid kit in hand for anyone in need.
Affectionate - A warm and loving person, Fleurelle is very open about her affections. Quick to give a smile or encouragement, she makes no secret of her fondness when she likes someone. She does her best to leave no room for doubt about others' standings in her eyes, and does her level best to ensure that everyone around her feels loved and cared for. From bringing snacks to decorating lockers for birthdays, there are a thousand little ways she does her best to make this obvious. Her affection is usually in a maternal or big-sisterly vein, brought about partly due to having a much-younger brother that she is absolutely devoted to.
Devoted - Once you've won a place in Fleurelle's heart - something that is actually fairly easy to do - she'll move the earth for you. She'll stand by your side and support you, whether she disagrees with you about something or not. She will protest and make such things known, but that doesn't stop her from sticking by her friend's side in the end, anyway. Her devotion isn't limited to people, however - she is equally devoted to causes and supporting them. For example, after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier in the year, Fleurelle only became an avid supporter of cancer research and does her best to promote activism for causes that are truly worth supporting.
Flaws:
Opinionated - Fleurelle has strong opinions about a lot of things. A lot of things. From the quality (or lack thereof) of cafeteria food, to whether things like peewee football should be allowed (which in her mind is a NO), from politics to immigration, Fleurelle's answer to the question 'What do you think about this?' will very, very rarely be an uncertain answer. While knowing one's own mind isn't a bad thing in and of itself, Fleurelle is very vocal with her opinions, and tends to make certain that everyone around her knows her mind as well as she does, even if they really have no interest or investment in the topic at hand.
Fussy - Since there is a large age gap between Fleurelle and her little brother Florimond, the blonde is very used to acting as both elder sister and something of a second mother figure. The problem is that she doesn't limit herself to acting this way around her baby brother, but rather tries to fuss at and mother-hen everyone around her. This can get very annoying as she isn't hesitant to nag or remind people to do things like do their homework or to please, please take your shoes off at the door before you get mud everywhere.
Long-winded - Not only does Fleurelle like to make herself heard and tend to be a nag, she also loves the sound of her own voice. Prone to go on and on (and on) about a topic, Fleurelle is sometimes teased about sounding like a history professor. Once she's started on a subject she can ramble for ages, and is very difficult to get to stop. She even continues to drone even when others make it obvious that they're no longer listening. It usually takes a direct intervention to get her to finally wind down, and this usually results in a huffy Fleurelle and frustrated friends.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Fleurelle's eyes are a vivid but light blue, somewhere between robin's egg and sky colored. They're oval-shaped aside from a very slight upturn at the ends, and she tends to wear mascara to make her eyelashes thicker and darker.
Hair: Fleurelle shaved her head a few months back to express solidarity with her mother before the woman's chemotherapy was started, and as such it is currently very, very short. While she isn't bald, per se, her hair still resembles a buzzcut over a pixie cut. The color isself is a soft, fair blonde that hovers between gold and peach in color.
Face: Fleurelle's face is long with a pronounced heart-shape, and her nose is small and slightly rounded. Her ears are of average size and shape, but she does enjoy wearing floral earrings. (Lily designs are her favorite).
Clothes: Meadowview Scool Uniform
Senshi: Byakko (The Senshi of West)
Challenge: "The fierce tiger of the west will support all order!"
Attacks: These are your senshi's abilities, which will be used in battle. These abilities correspond to your senshi's element. Think of it as a "summary" of what your senshi can do in one word.
Sailor Scout Attack: Rejuvenating Breeze
Target: A single ally
Range: Within ten feet
Byakko takes a step and turns her back to the west, raising her arms over her head, calling out her attack name. As she does an autumn breeze whips up from behind her and washes over her ally - the visible sign of this breeze is a few red-gold leaves of autumn that dissipate within seconds, and is accompanied by the distant-sounding roar of a tiger. The wind lasts momentarily, but the target feels renewed and energized as though they had taken a short rest.
Uses: Twice per battle
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Rejuvenating Wind
Target: A single ally
Range: Within Twelve feet
Byakko takes a step and turns her back to the west, raising her arms over her head. As she calls her attack name, she brings her arms down in front of her, palms up. As she does an autumn wind, stronger than her basic attack, whips up from behind her and washes over her ally - the visible sign of this breeze is a shower of red-gold leaves of autumn that dissipate within seconds, and is accompanied by the nearby roar of a tiger. The wind lasts momentarily, but the target feels renewed and energized as though they had taken a minute or two to sit down and recover.
Uses: Twice per battle.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Succor of Byakko
Target: Up to three allies within range.
Range: A twelve-foot circle with the centerpoint where the illusory tiger stops.
For this attack, Byakko turns to face the west and steps forward, embracing the air before her before spinng in place and throwing her arms forward as she calls out her attack. As she throws her arms forward, a large, illusory white tiger materializes from the west and leaps five feet in front of her. As it lands, it roars and a wind rushes out around it. When this wind touches ally units within range, exposed injuries begin to heal in a slightly-accelerated manner. This rapid healing lasts for thirty seconds and affects only areas where the wind can make direct contact with damaged tissue (I.E. cuts, burns, bruises). Cloth or armor over an injury prevents the healing from taking effect. The more severe an injury, the less effective the attack - small cuts will completely close up, but a sprain will still be sore, and truly dangerous injuries still require medical intervention.
(Personal) History: Fleurelle Lapointe and her family moved to America (and Destiny City in particular) when she was very young and her little brother not yet born. While she has faint memories of her birth country, she tends to think of herself more as American than French, and has no particular desire to go back. Her life up until high school - and indeed partway through it - has been mostly unremarkable and very average, untouched by tragedy or fear. However, six months ago her mother was diagnosed with stage 2 breat cancer, and ever since things in her life have been a little destabilized. To try and counter this, she's clung more tightly to her friend Merle (and more recently, Talia and Shizuka), taking her role as the group's healer seriously to the point of fixation.
