"Who am I? Well, that's a question I pose myself every day..."

The Biography

Birth Name: Rita Shino Arisato
Aliases: HikariZX (her internet username); Shion Kusanagi
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Birth Day: October 1st 1998
Arcana: The Sun (Main); The Empress (Secondary)
Evoker: Rita uses a specialized gun to summon her persona. Often called an Evoker, her particular model is based off the Glock series of guns and includes a safety just in case. Its appearance is also unique, colored pitch black instead of white and is adorned with a silver lining on it.
Place of Residence: Penecia Island
School Year: Third year (skipped first grade due to request and extraordinary marks)
Class: 3-B

After School Club: N/A

Part Time Job: Works as an artist on the internet, making people drawing commissions; works as a circus caretaker at The Biggest Top.

Appearance: Born with a defect, Rita's hair grew without much color but a combination of white and black, making her entire stretch of hair, reaching her knees, appear to glow a radiant silver color. Though taller than average for her age, measuring about 5'7, Rita possesses a very petite build, though still a bit muscular and curvy. She normally dresses in black clothing, contrasting against her silvery-white hair perfectly while keeping her away from the eye mostly as a monochrome existence. Possessing dark red, crimson eyes, Rita normally seems incredibly dark and depressed, anyone looking into her eyes drowning in the blood-colored void.

Update: Now being forced to hide her identity, Rita uses a different style and color of hair, keeping it short still, but with a different cut, and dyeing it blackish brown instead of keeping it white. Over her red eyes, she wears a pair of brown contact lenses too. Changing her style too, she wears a long blue kimono split at her legs to allow for ease of movement and a red hooded jacket with fake fur linings its insides over it. It's a fairly hot get-up for such warm weather, but Rita prefers it because it allows for better concealment of whatever's underneath.

Personality: Though introverted and mostly a loner, Rita is very kind and friendly, normally treating friends and strangers both with respect, always being polite. Though she is friendly, Rita is also very critical and dense, possessing a loose mouth with no filter, this usually makes her unable to stop herself as she says something unintentional that may hurt another without even realizing it. Rita usually doesn't notice she's doing something wrong unless told, making it so she gets into trouble really easily. Though usually looking depressed and sad, Rita's expression is one of simple boredom, not sadness as she usually is always thinking about something cheerful or thinking of her brother back in Japan...

The Potential

Strengths:

—Strength Name: Artist
—Description: She is very creative and can usually imagine something impressive and put it into either words or an image with ease, though each piece usually takes about 2-3 hours of work for a simple black and white sketch. She needs practice but her drawings and literature works are definitely good.

—Strength Name: Swordswoman
—Description: Training herself since she was 8, Rita is a very good swordswoman and fights using her own unique style, wielding a one-handed sword in her right hand and using her left fist to parry and punch the opponent. Her style is completely self-taught and is very unpredictable and fast-paced.

—Strength Name: Brandish
—Description: Tied into a quick grapple on her sleeve, like the ones most magicians use for her tricks, Shion keeps a small sheathed shiny knife, having it swing right onto her hand where she can use it without trouble. This knife is about 4 inches in length of blade and is sharp as well as pointy, with the hilt fitting Shion's hand perfectly.

—Strength Name: Intelligent
—Description: Rita possesses above-average intelligence and usually gets very good marks when she puts in just a bit of effort on a class. Her memory plays a very important part in this, as she usually remembers a class's subject forever even though she can't pinpoint it.

—Strength Name: Physically strong
—Description: Though not an award-winning weight-lifter, Rita is pretty strong for her age, her strength usually topping an average man's own. This is one of the traits she enjoys most as it compliments her righteous nature, making her able to protect people more easily.

Weaknesses:

—Weakness Name: Unwillingness to kill
—Description: Should Rita fight a human opponent, or something resembling a human, she will absolutely refuse to kill them unless forced to. If an attack of hers would lower a human or human-like enemy's health to 0 from anything higher than 1, the enemy will survive with 1 HP. This weakness can be bypassed ONLY in the most extreme of cases and must be agreed on with the DM for it to be done, it can't be done at will. This can happen if Rita is led to believe that a person can not live, no matter what, but it isn't up to the RPer to decide willy-nilly. Unless a good reason is provided and the DM approves of it, this weakness will always activate, no exceptions.

—Weakness Name: Too Relaxed
—Description: Rita often doesn't put much effort in anything she does, be it studying, fighting, anything. This makes it so she won't really pay attention to incoming attacks and instead finish off the opponent faster, making her take more damage as a result.

—Weakness Name: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
—Description: Though not as serious a case as others, Rita suffers from OCD. Her room is normally seen as disorganized by other people while she sees it as completely perfect in her eyes even though she also fails to see a pattern. She also feels the need to impose that on her whole life, according to a similar order for everything she does.

—Weakness Name: Uninhibited
—Description: After an encounter with her Shadow, Rita has been... odd. Very often taking on a blood-lustful persona of hers, completely reckless in her attacks. This happens when she becomes desperate to finish a fight or get out of a situation, such that when she's hit by her weaknesses, her skill usage starts to cost 1.5x more than usual, due to her exertion. Mechanics aside, this side of hers gives her a headache once she breaks out of it.

—Weakness Name: Introverted
—Description: She doesn't approach anyone, instead preferring to be alone at all times. She keeps mostly quiet and doesn't even speak much to anyone that speaks to her, preferring to joke in her own way to make the person annoyed and go away. She feels she's better off alone in the normal world but relinquishes those feelings while in the Alternate Worlds.

Soul Bound Weapon:

Weapon Name: Aestus Estus
Weapon Description: A crimson blade with an unconventional shape and mystic looking design. It is the embodiment of the ancient fire of Rome and represents conquest, tyranny, power and strategy. Rita trusts this blade more than her own Persona and will use it without hesitation. The sword measures at 137 centimeters from its pommel to its point, the blade itself measures at about 115 centimeters.

The Background

History: Orphaned quickly after her birth along with her brother, Rita had no-one to defend her but her brother. Her life filled with nothing but discomfort due to her parents dying in a plane accident when she was just one year old as well as Rita and her brother always being kicked out of adoption centers and never finding a family due to her brother's rash behavior and his desire to be with her, something she truly loved about him.
Finding herself in high school a few years later, Rita was separated from her brother, now a grown man, and came to live in San Malarus, where she was quickly accepted into school in due to her high grades and honors, particularly her work in her previous school's Student Council.
Now getting herself intertwined in a mystery of utmost importance, Rita fully intends on attempting to solve it herself, thinking she can't let herself be put down any longer, her will being enough to drive her along with her desire to come back to her brother soon.

Just a few things until your character is all approved:

For your strengths and weaknesses, make one or two of your weaknesses combat related to balance out your strengths of being physically strong and being a good swordsman. Apart from that, all that you need to do is to describe the length of your soulbound weapon and you'll be set!

Approved! Also, Limbo is not the premise this plot. It actually involves other parallel worlds which are in the new story taking place. Sorry for the confusion! Check the timeline to get up to speed with the new story.

Possessing very dark brown eyes, Rita normally seems incredibly dark and depressed, anyone looking into her eyes drowning in the black void.

Update: During a fight, due to the need of quickly removing her ribbon, Rita simply decided to cut off a large portion of her hair, trimming it down to simply shoulder length now. After this, she prefers wearing more Japanese-styled clothing, including a white vest with detached sleeves, a long and broad skirt, which opens fairly wide to still allow her to move easily in it, and a pair of sandals worn traditionally.

Additionally, Rita begins wearing a Tokin hat with long strings attached to it with some ponpons hanging from them, as well as a pair of fake wolf ears that are included with the hat as well. She has other pairs of similar-looking hats, but also likes the ears, so she keeps them regardless. The rest of her appearance, though, stays pretty much the same.

Personality: Though introverted and mostly a loner, Rita is very kind and friendly, normally treating friends and strangers both with respect, always being polite.

Rita 'Goldilocks' Arisato
//"Who am I? Hell... that used to be something I asked myself. Now, I just answer by name. I don't need to know who I am to kick your ass, though!"//

The Biography

Birth Name: Rita Shino Arisato
Aliases: Goldilocks (Circus name); HikariZX (Internet Username)
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Birth Day: October 1st
Arcana: //The Sun: Portrayed as two children holding hands under a blazing sun, The Sun symbolizes happiness, joy, energy, optimism, and accomplishment. Occasionally, it is also associated with one's initial happiness.//
Place of Residence: The Biggest Top!
Evoker: N/A, can call her Persona with a thought.
School Year: Dropped Out
Class: N/A

Full Time Job: Performer and caretaker at the Biggest Top, using her control over flames to charm the audience.

Appearance: Differing from her appearance a year ago, Rita has sort of underwent a kind of final growth spurt, her figure filling out to a reasonably developed state, making her look a lot like the young adult she's becoming. She now stands at 5'8, much taller than the average Japanese height, and clocks in at around 138 pounds.

As for actual appearance, she now has shining golden blonde hair and violet eyes, the result of a new supernatural power. Her eyes change back to their red color whenever she gets mad, however, as if the actual skill knew when to shift it. Her face retains much of the same roundness it had previously, but it's certainly more pronounced and womanly; it is clear that Rita hit the apex of her growth at this moment.

As for clothing, the blonde has a few varieties, including a kind of exploration costume composed of short black shorts covered by a leather skirt that opens up at the front and a white underskirt, both held in place by a simple but roomy toolbelt. She also wears a yellow short top with a black decal, as well as a short-sleeved leather jacket on top of that. No matter what the outfit, Rita retains a pair of black fingerless gloves, and Ember Celica in its bracelet form is always present on her wrists, despite not needing to be. On her feet, Rita wears a pair of calve-high hiking boots with yellow knee-high socks underneath, as well as a scarf covering her left leg. It is noteworthy to say that she wears her right sock scrunched up to her boot, and doesn't stretch it fully to her knee.

Examples:

Personality: //"I gotcha, you wanna be closer to me, huh?"// Rita's a fairly cheerful young woman, seemingly carrying no worry in her heart during her stride. She is confident, happy, and definitely a kind of fire to warm anyone's heart. Ever since her departure from the Azores region, due to her work at the circus, the blonde has developed a kind of confidence in herself, something that tells her she doesn't need anyone else's approval, simply because she has all she needs in her family.

Despite not being completely obvious, Rita is a mother, or at least an adopted mother, but when matters involve Mio, she will certainly act this way. She is protective of her family, to the point of being a full-time legal guardian to her daughter and willing protector of her lover. In that vein, she has also taken up teaching and is the one currently tutoring Mio in the basic school subjects, up to High School.

In interpersonal relationships, she still is quite odd, though, preferring to avoid large groups like before, but not intentionally going out of her way to leave one if she so happens to be incorporated into it. Rita is capable of keeping a hold of herself in social situations and has developed quite the skill for them, mostly because of the work she's had to undergo as a performer. Dealing with a crowd most every day, greeting people, and entertaining them. Needless to say, she's come to love her job, even if she still isn't nearly as popular as Lia.

The Potential

Rita Arisato Tumblr_nzjpjdZrxg1sbqrlmo4_500

Strengths:

—Strength Name: Acrobatic Training
—Description: As of now, Rita has spent around a year and a half constantly practicing alongside Lia to become a great circus performer, and while she still isn't quite as good as her lover and 'senpai', her ability to move her body with finesse and style is largely above a regular person's. As such, she gains a passive 5% boost to her Agility at any point.

—Strength Name: Perfect Form
—Description: With that kind of training to blame, Rita has also honed her skill with all of her weapons, quickly being able to switch between them and use them effectively to deal more damage. In PvP, this manifests as simple fluidity in her style, she is capable of switching weapons repeatedly without hindrance by making them appear and disappear at will, within reason. This also works on the weapons she has gained from Social Links. In PvS, however, this is simply a 5% boost to Dexterity-based attacks.

—Strength Name: Motherly Know-How
—Description: You think Mio's never got a bruise? Whenever medical assistance was needed, Rita was there, like the worried mother she is. She has learned how to effectively use medical equipment and the time is scarce when she doesn't carry at least relief gear in her toolbelt. While she isn't at the level of a formally educated medical professional, far from it, Rita is still knowledgeable about flesh wounds, scratches and anything that might be possible to gain from two years working at the circus. This includes broken bones, how to deal with trauma, effectively cauterizing a wound with intense heat, and disinfecting it right afterwards.

—Strength Name: Polyglot... kinda.
—Description: Living with a person that speaks Italian and has taught Italian to your daughter is bound to give you some knowledge of it, right? Indeed, Rita was able to pick up the language while living with Lia, and the latter has taught her how to at least be at a conversational level. Aside from that, she nearly completed her study of Greek, becoming able to recognize that language at a glance as well. Not to mention, she retains her fluent knowledge of Japanese and English, and a very slight bit of Portuguese, back from when Japan's roots interested her most.

—Strength Name: The 'Heroine' that Never Gives Up
—Description: Pure, unbridled Determination. Rita won't let herself go down without a fight, making her that much tougher to defeat. She'll still bite until the bitter end, use all of her prowess to try and get that last hit in... one, final, time... After her HP hits 0, Rita can use a single dexterity-based hit from one of her weapons. The base miss chance for this attack is 50%, and it is unable to achieve a critical hit. It can only be used the turn her HP goes down to 0, and she can take no other actions on that turn.

Weaknesses:

—Weakness Name: I Burn.
—Description: Rita has become very particular when it comes to anger and sadness, in a way that she can simply go into a full rage should something actually tick her off enough. This can happen in a variety of ways: threatening her family, her friends, humanity as a whole... harming her hair. Nevertheless, she has an extra 10% chance of being hit with the Rage ailment, and on certain circumstances, it is simply inflicted on her, at the DM's judgment.

—Weakness Name: Burn Out
—Description: Like a candle's flame, Rita's prowess is a fickle one. Once she starts staggering during a fight, her usual elegant style will become sluggish and predictable from tiredness. Since her fighting relies mostly on acrobatic and tricky movements, when she is incapable of performing such actions, she simply becomes unable to fight as effectively. When Rita's HP dips below 20%, her Acrobatic Training strength is nullified and her agility is decreased a further 5%. This weakness also comes into effect if Rita is somehow hindered physically in anyway.

—Weakness Name: The Past is Long Gone
—Description: She didn't keep up with the outside-- nay, it's more like she simply didn't want to keep up with it. Rita has chosen to forego learning about recent events in favor of simply focusing on Mio and Lia's well-being, and the circus' development, of course. As such, she is quite inept at using newer kinds of technology or devices as a whole, isn't up to date with current events, and may come across as she has simply lived under a rock to some people.

—Weakness Name: A Mother and Lover's Worry
—Description: If there is one simple action that can break Rita, it's succeeding in majorly harming her family. If either Mio or Lia is somehow unable to combat anymore (in Lia's case) or gets a major injury (in Mio's case), Rita will not be able to keep going coherently. She's living for three now, not just herself, and letting any of them be harmed would be a sin she wouldn't forgive herself for.

—Weakness Name: But It Refused
—Description: No matter how, no matter when, Rita is simply incapable of actually killing or even knocking another human being out, by they whoever. Until she is somehow convinced that one person, no matter who they are, isn't human, she will consciously aim her attacks in such a way that she won't hit her target. Any unjustified breaking of this weakness is punishable in the same vein as Godmodding, and it is up to the DM's discretion whether it applies or not. If an attack of Rita's would knock a human opponent's HP down to 0, she will intentionally miss it. Furthermore, on human bosses whose health is hidden, once they start staggering is when this weakness will trigger, and Rita will start willingly missing every shot she takes.

Weapon Description: A pair of golden gauntlets that cover the entirety of Rita's forearm when active, appearing as two symmetrical golden bracelets when inactive. The weapon is able to fire off shots of fire at enemies that, while being somewhat ranged, don't behave like bullets, instead being more like bombs that explode on impact and when they leave the weapon. The max range on the projectiles is around 10 meters, with anything further being extremely thinned out to the point where it's predictable and not hurtful, while the speed and impact of the fireballs exponentially decreases along the 10-meter path. To shoot the fireballs, Rita must punch the air or someone, which can also add more oomph to her regular punches. If the explosions happen right at her fist, Ember Celica covers her hand in a way that makes them not hurt her.

Weapon Name: -Red Rose Mirage ~ An Infinitely Far Connection-
Weapon Description: Exactly the same as Lia Abate's Red Rose Soulbound Weapon, with a distinct transparency put on it. It's a rose-colored whip with thorns running on it, spanning about 13 feet long when fully extended, with a short hilt for holding. When not in action, Rita keeps it not summoned, as she'd rather use it only when necessary or when it'd get her the edge in battle.

Weapon Name: -Violet Apparition - A Fool by Any Other Name-
Weapon Description: Just like Sharaku's Violet Soul, Rita's version looks like a silver oddly-shaped weapon that seems to be made out of pure energy, but acts physical when it's used to attack someone or something, performing almost like a sword. Unlike the real Violet Soul, though, Violet Apparition cannot talk, and isn't a Shadow, being a mere copy of the original, and as such, can be distinguished by its appearance, since it looks like it fades into mist at the edges, and is slightly transparent. Its length total is 25 inches in front and hangs off Rita's hand, so she can use it in the same manner Sharaku can use his own.

The Background

//"I guess I should start somewhere, huh? Well... then let's get to the beginning. I was born in a small town, my mother's hometown, may I add, in Japan to my parents, Kentaro and Hikari Arisato I was their second child, with their first one being my brother, Crymson. No, of course that's not the name our parents gave him, but he says he can't remember it anymore, and it's been the name he always signed on his orphanage entries so... that's the name he has now, I guess? Anyway, I lived with my parents and my brother for around a year or so, before both of them set out on a trip together, for business or something. Honestly, I never really cared much... I mean, they left us two alone and... never came back... b-but really, I don't pay it much mind, that's the truth. In any case, as you might have guessed by now, they never made it back home to Japan, which meant that my brother and I needed to be taken in by an orphanage... which didn't exactly bode well. We kept leaving ones and travelling to others, transferring cities all the time... I hated it."//

//"We stayed on that same course for around eight years at that point. He was seven years older than me, which meant that when he turned 18 and even a bit before that, he was a lot more mature than he was as a kid. Anyway, we settled on another town, around half the country away from our birthplace, and stayed in that orphanage until Crymson turned 21, when he could legally take me in. When that happened, we moved to Osaka, where I got through Middle School and most of High School. I, uh, really can't say much about that city... I liked it, but during my time there, I didn't exactly have that many friends. When I was around 16, though, I kinda figured it'd be best for me to spend some time elsewhere. That's when I found out about the Azores Region first, actually. My brother was against that at first, but, thankfully, he found himself a reasonable lover, my sister-in-law now, who got through to his thick head that this'd be the best place for me to go. I was already fluent in English, so why not, right?"//

//"You, uh, already know the story of what happened in the Azores Region, right? This is where I met Lia... where I met everyone, really. The people I considered my friends... and most, I still do. I don't know how to summarize this, but, you understand, right? You already heard this story before. After all, you were in it..."//

//"During the course of these two years, I think I got a lot better at handling my powers. Maybe half a year after we left the Azores, I became a performer? Yeah, I think it was at that time. Anyway, my specialty was playing with fire, much to Lia's chagrin; I don't blame her, obviously, fire is dangerous... in the wrong hands, it'll end up consuming everything, like my Shadow wanted to do. But I'm able to control it now, thankfully, which means that my performances went on without a hitch. My favorite act is igniting the Red Rose Mirage into flames, it really gets the audience going. Ah, but obviously, I'm not summoning my Soulbounds in the middle of the circus, that'd cause a panic! But yeah, that's been my life for these past two years. That, and teaching Mio how to write and read, perform basic math, basically getting her up to speed on what a twelve-year old should know at their age."//

//"Around a year ago, I took a little time off the circus to go back to my home town, or, well, my mother's home town... I-I really couldn't believe I was back there after so long. Logically, I didn't remember a thing, but it all felt... familiar, in a way. Everyone there recognized me, strangely, though. They said I looked just like my mother... except for the hair. They were all really sad when I told them I dyed it blonde. Yes, that was a lie, but what was I supposed to tell them? The magic bird inside me that represents my innermost self turned it blonde? I wish I still had silver hair too, y'know... regardless, I was at least able to keep my eyes red while I was there, somehow, which makes me believe I have more control over this skill than I thought. Even then, though, I... kinda liked it back home. I only stayed for a few weeks, maybe three or four at max, but I'm still thinking of going back and keep in touch."//

//"Um, I think that kinda brings us up to speed... we're going back to the Azores Region soon for another show. The Biggest Top is coming back, that's for sure! Even if I have no idea how long we'll be staying, it's still really exciting to think that I'll get to see old faces again and catch up... and such..."//

//"I'll be honest... I dunno how much I'm looking forward to this. Sure, it'll be great to see people I haven't been with in a long time... but there are others I have no idea how I'll react to or get along with them anymore. Really... I'm actually pretty scared of seeing a few people again. People I didn't exactly say goodbye to. To them, I must have just vanished... but that's a story for another time. I'll be able to deal with it, somehow. Will you help me with that?"//
