Personality and Appearance
Personality:
- Characteristics:
- Positives:
Inquisitive
A girl who seems to thirst for nothing more than understanding and education, Miss Araragi has a great sense of curiosity and desire to learn, whether it be about formalized subjects or the world and people around her. Endlessly curious and excited by things that puzzle her, the lass loves to work out problems and derives great satisfaction from her accomplishments, and never seems happier than when she has something new and intriguing to engage with.
Independent
Hardly a loner but typically seen as highly self-sufficient, Aina can tend to show a single mindedness which tends to leave her to pursue her goals alone but doesn't really mind that. Never one who would let the pressures of companionship dominate her viewpoint, she would consider camaraderie to be more a bonus than a necessity to her life, and typically does not wait for others to make up their mind before acting on her own.
Outgoing
Carrying a certain bubbly tendency that can make her appear highly social, Miss Araragi is rarely daunted by the prospect of interacting with others, and tends to express herself with a frankness which some might envy. Enjoying engaging with others and in particular flexing her intellect, perhaps because she seems something of an oddball around some she can tend to seek the approval of her peers and those who impress her especially, and can even be a bit of a show off in this regard.
Accepting
The fondness which Aina has for discovery seeming to provide her with endless understanding and tolerance, she seems to show little in the way of judgement and recrimination toward other people for who they are or what they like, and instead is often quite happy exploring what they are fond of. Seeming to feel that she connects with people best when sharing interests, she is supportive and encouraging of those who seem shy in expressing or seeking what they may enjoy, and can tend to be somewhat indulgent in fact when it comes to these kinds of matters.
- Negatives:
Niche
Certainly seeming to be a soul with her share of quirkiness and then some, if one approaches Miss Araragi expecting one's typical run of the mill girl they might be surprised, and perhaps even offput by her skewed priorities and eccentric passions. More than this seeming to possess a kind of energy and decisiveness which can surprise in a great many ways, she can tend to state things with great confidence that others might shy away from, and can seem brazen to the point of shamelessness when caught in the right situation.
Focused
Highly dedicated to her interests and intellectual pursuits, while Aina can come across as something of a dorky goofball geek to some she seems to sometimes get stuck in her routines and mind, and as such can allow herself to become isolated and even obsessive. The type who can tend to neglect others and at times even herself when she throws herself into something, she can tend to 'switch off' from life and get wrapped up in her passions, showing an often unknowing and accidental selfishness.
Clinical
A girl who is honest to a fault and at times a little too direct, Miss Araragi seems to favour a clear cut and informative message, and can tend to favour an informative and efficient method over matters of tact and sensitivity. Sometimes a little lagging when it comes to social development and understanding, there are some who can find her to the point and matter of fact manners to be a pleasant surprise, but others might find her overwhelming or insensitive to their feelings. - Goals:
Discovery
Craving nothing more than simple understanding, Aina loves to seek out new information on both people, projects and even frivolous concerns, and tends not to rub it in one's face like most know-it-alls. Always one with a bright and active mind who would rather enjoy a subject than battle an enemy, she sees conflict as lost potential, and perhaps is somewhat pacificist for that approach.
Innovation
Always the type who is seeking to improve upon pretty much anything, Miss Araragi doesn't believe in perfection, and strives to make the things around her better however she can. Deeming nothing truly complete and enhancement something which is merely a case of getting the right mind on the right idea, she has an industrious and imaginative nature, though sometimes can get a little swept up in the act of greater development and apply frivolous purpose to it. - Weaknesses:
Obsession
The drive toward intellectual curiosity something which has served to make Aina stand out from her peers, unfortunately she can tend to get carried away when her mind is focused, and tends to disregard things like breaks, social experience, proper meals and the like. Sometimes seeming to get so wrapped up in what she is doing that she detaches herself from the world, there is a necessity to keep her 'anchored', otherwise she can neglect things which should have greater priority.
Appearance:
- Description:
- Description:
An attractive and tall woman with a light complexion and fuchsia locks, Aina Araragi is a slim and leggy woman with a somewhat vulpine features, which seem something of a contrast to her nerdier interests. Slim in her built though not without some noticeable curves where it counts, she has a narrow waist and broad hips which combined with a none too inconsiderable bust offers her a nice hourglass physique. Keeping herself in good condition as a matter of habit as well, she carries a trim tone, though not an overt musculature like a gym rat.
Large eyed, Miss Araragi has unusual irises that can look anywhere from a rich blue to a soft violet depending on how the light catches them, and her overall facial structure is slender and refined. Sporting lips that are naturally rosy even without being coloured, this pink beauty has a noticeable pout that only seems to add to an overall sense of mature appeal, looking more like a woman than a girl and a little older than her age.
Possessing wavy bubble gum pink hair of length just below her shoulders which tends to be somewhat messy, she tends to leave it loose with the tips seeming to curl back up on themselves for an unintentional sense of style. Parting her hair from the left side of her head and leaving some or all of her right eye often hidden by her long bangs, the locks of this lady are a little on the wavy side, and become more voluminous toward their extremity. Not averse to tying her hair up when the situation calls for it, she actually seems to often wear a band over to keep the back portion out of her face, tucking it behind her ears aside from the curtain over her eye.
- Shihakushō:
Possessing a customised version of the standard Shinigami uniform, where many of her fellows seem to wear Hakama with their kimono Aina tends to go without, preferring to style it like a short skirt which shows off her long and shapely lower limbs. Not one for baggy sleeves either since they get in the way when she is in the lab, instead she wears tighter, more dress-like sleeves which she often rolls up when busy, and wears the item with an often red Obi as well.
Sporting high heeled footwear more like that of western inclination than straw sandals, she wears strappy black pumps with white socks, and in the field tends to add to her garb with a pair of white gloves or vambraces to protect her hands. Often tending to wear various forms of accessory as well, Miss Araragi tends to wear items which help her do her job as a researcher such as headsets, displays and other scientific paraphernalia which she and others in the SRDI have developed.
- Fashion Choices:
The style of clothing that Aina prefers tending to be on the smart but feminine side of the spectrum, she likes blouses and sweaters, though climate permitting can often choose things that are short or sleeveless so they are functional. Generally more of a fan of a dress or skirt as she likes to highlight her long legs with the way she dresses and prefers simple displays of elegant jewellery with a quality over quantity approach, enjoying pearls, diamonds and sapphires as her favourite gems. A fan of jeans and turtlenecks, when relaxing at home she will often wear just this and some jeans or shorts as she lets her hair down and wears her glasses, perhaps never looking ‘geekier’ than when she is like this.
- Art:
Combat
Fighting Style:
Description: Typically seeking to avoid combat with others due to her focus on discovery and disdain for destruction, when drawn into a fight Aina tends to prefer to subdue and bind and enemy rather than strictly harm them, and has high ability in both Kido and a Zanpakuto which better afford this. Not afraid to get rough where she needs to and employ Hadō against enemies which can't be dealt with more peacefully, she prefers not to toy with opponents, and calls down high level spells to end the contest quickly, efficiently and decisively.
Zanpakuto Name: Nemuihime (眠い姫)
Zanpakuto Description: A shorter Zanpakuto with a blade which is roughly 60cm in length, the grip of this weapon is green while the crossguard has a shape and pattern which roughly resemble a rose.
Zanpakuto Shikai: Shibireru (Numb)
Transforming into something a little more like a thin but razor sharp rapier, though the grip remains the same this weapon seems to completely encompass the hand in a guard, though in fact is not purposed for fencing. Instead seeming to constantly ooze an anaesthetic-like toxin, cuts from the weapon seem to impede the neuroreceptors in the wound site and below, effectively paralysing the area until the toxin wears off.
Kidō:
An expert level kido practitioner, Aina has a good head for spells and has memorized a great many of them, being able to perform all branches at close to the highest level, and even the lower bands without incantation. (I'd say her ability ranges up to roughly 75-80)
