Base
Pic 2:
Ryuumei sports quite the height, standing at 5'9 (180cm). Her hair is black, but when looked upon closely it seems to have a reddish tint to it. Most of the time she lets it freely fall down her back, but since it is long enough, sometimes she puts it up in a ponytail, as it can get annoying when it sweeps into her face. As she is a shadow, her eyes are originally golden, but she wears black contacts to cover the inhuman coloration. She also has a black tribal-like tattoo on the upper half of her right arm.
Her clothing style is simple enough. Majority of the time she can be seen wearing a black sleevles tank top, which is a bit on the shorter side, leaving a part of her stomach exposed. Along with that, she has a quite short pair of jean shorts, coupled with a thick black belt. On her feet, she wears middle lenght green boots and she tends to put a pair of black fingerless gloves on as well.
True self
When she transforms into her true self, she adopts a dragon-like appearance, although without wings. Her skin turns a sort of bluish gray, with a few patches of hard scales here and there. She grows four pairs of horns that vary in lenght along with a few short backspikes and her hair goes from black to dark green. Her ears grow longer and take on a elf like appearance. Her hands get bigger, sporting only four fingers each, but also having a set of very sharp claws. She has a middle lenght tail as well. Her outfit is something akin to a fitting black fighting costume, along with a fancy belt strapped on her left leg.
Personality:
In Ryuumei's case, the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover' works full time. At a first glance and impression, she seems like the stoic type, being indifferent and uncaring about most of what's going on around her. She usually shows a calm and composed stature, and appears as a very self-confident person. However most of these are only relevant, when you're not interacting with her and just observing from afar.
While she does keeps her confidence, when actually involving herself with people, the rest of her actions shift in nature rapidly, almost turning 180 degrees. She can smoothly go from her reserved self to being unbelievably outspoken and assertive. Having no problem to push herself onto other people, she can be quite hard for a layperson to handle. Her mental state is something to be questioned as well. There is a reason why most people that speak with her think she's a lunatic, and that is her 'identity' issue. She has the weird habit of thinking and speaking about herself as if she was something else than she really is, and no one can convince her otherwise. If one were to try, she will always try to prove her point, and may even turn violent.
~This is WHO I am~
The fact that she relates to herself in a different way, shapes quite a big part of her personality. The worst part of it? She thinks she's a dragon. Of course, in reality, she is not, but for some reason in her mind she believes so. Because of that, she tries to act as if she were one. She likes to show off her power and both physical and psychical strenght, even if it often doesn't correlate to how strong she really is. Believing she can do almost anything, she doesn't take well to people who bellitle her, and has a tendency to lash out and be pretty violent and bloodthirsty as if she were a real beast. Ryuumei prefers to always be in control and to be the one to dictate what is going to happen and in what way, because she believes she's superior to most beings. Often, she also attempts the visuals as well, for example growling and baring her 'fangs'. She is fairly wild and unpredictable, and extremely proud of what she 'is'. It is possible to sway her, though, if one is persistent enough. She has a sense of honor and loyalty, and will uphold those that respect her and don't try to make her change.
The Potential
Strengths:
—Strength Name: Mythical Expert —Description: While she is obviously most knowledgeable about dragons, she has a very keen interest in myths and mythical creatures in general and she knows almost every itty bitty info about them. Most of the time she would be able to say what kind of a creature a Persona is if she sees one.
—Strength Name: ''My turn!'' —Description: Ryuumei isn't afraid to put herself on the line of attack, and will willingly protect those she's allied with if needed. She's fearless even in the face of opponents that are obviously stronger than she is, and it is nearly impossible to make her cower before anyone.
—Strength Name: I choose THIS —Description: She's very far from being indecisive, and can pick very quickly when presented with more options and choices. She will not hesitate to say what she wants right away. Ryuumei isn't likely to waste time on decisions even in battle, and will quickly decide the course of action, not giving the opponent the satisfaction of being unsure how to proceed.
—Strength Name: Dependable —Description: She may not be easy to get to, but she will never betray a comrade once she has one. You can depend on her with almost anything and she won't tell any of your secrets behind your back.
—Strength Name: Unshakeable patience —Description: When there's a possibility of gaining something, she can be extremely patient, waiting for the right opportunity to go for it, as if she were a predator patiently stalking her prey. She won't get unnerved even if it takes a hell of a time.
Weaknesses:
—Weakness Name: I'm...what? —Description: As badass as it may seem, her belief that she's a dragon is a kind of a mental issue, and it makes her relations to others very poor. Practically no one believes her and labels her a freak, making her a sort of a forced loner.
—Weakness Name: Short fuse —Description: With her positively leaning towards violence, it is easy to piss her off, mainly with bashing or outright rude remarks about her and dragons. She goes on a rampage then, and all hell breaks loose, no matter what the consequences.
—Weakness Name: Submission? What is that? —Description: Ryuumei will hold onto her independence no matter what. She will not be willing to take a direct order or submit to anyone even if she was aware that it would save her life. She's too proud to accept bowing down ungracefully like that.
—Weakness Name: They're relatives, are they not? —Description: Even though dragons are more like beasts, she thinks that normal animals are still a distant family and she can't handle seeing them look sad, or be hurt. This is the only time you'll see her openly cuddling another being, as she has a soft spot for any animal there is. If she could she would already have a multitude of pets, that she'd pick up during her travels.
—Weakness Name: ''I....don't get it?'' —Description: Her outgoing and talkative nature when interacting with others is in a way a cover-up for the fact that she has no actual idea how to get close to people. Considering her condition, she's never had any friends, and she would turn out to be pretty awkward if it came to that. She can hide it behind a lot of confident talk at first, but in time it will show.
Soul Bound Weapon:
Weapon Name: N/A Weapon Description:She uses her own claws as a weapon. Weapon Image: N/A Weapon Attack Type: Slash Weapon Element: N/A
The Background
History:
Ryuumei's original self had quite the hard time growing up. While she was an expected child, and her parents pampered her, very happy to have a little daughter, it all started to go downhill when she turned 2 years old. Her parents had noticed that she has been acting a little strange, and after a numerous series of tests at a doctor, she was diagnosed with an identity disorder. Unfortunately, there was no cure to that particular mental ilness at the time and all that they could do was wait.
As she grew up, she was extremely unhappy as her parents had taken to pushing her into acting 'normal', which only suceeded in making her show it off more, to prove herself. Kids at school laughed at her, called her names and even attempted to bully her. That eventually led her to attend sittings with a psychiatrist, however that accomplished nothing and her parents grew frustrated with her personality. Eventually she had realized that it'll never work out and left her parents, seeking to live on her own. The sudden solitude affected her a lot, and that was what prompted her shadow self to rear it's head in the near future.
