[b]Name:[/b] Karla Kortissia
[b]Age:[/b] 19
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Appearance:[/b] Karla is a woman who takes pride in knowing that no matter what room she enters she'll be the most elegant one within it. Whether or not people take notice of that is irrelevant next to her own sense of refinement. Her hair is a striking fair blonde that, when not left to simply flow down past her neck, is often put into a side ponytail and left to fall into rest upon her shoulder.

When not out and about, as that would require more tactical attire, Karla is rarely seen in [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fa/5c/dc/fa5cdc03e827dba6de613a25459815e9.jpg]anything other than an outfit one typically associates with dinner parties or black tie events[/url]. In the field, however, she opts for more mobile outfit, maintaining her blue motif, while still managing to wear [url=http://i.imgur.com/JK3qo5g.png]something eye-catching[/url]. The colors of her field outfit are a navy blue.

[b]Weapon/Combat Style:[/b] Karla's weapon is a bit unconventional, mostly due to its inherent dangers, but there's a refinement to it that other weapons just simply don't have. She refers to it as 'Darling'. Her weapon of choice is an [url=http://silambam.asia/images_silambamweapon/surulpattai2.jpg] urumi, a longsword with a flexible, whip blade.[/url] She keeps Darling curled around her waist like a belt at all times, giving it a double use as a killer accessory. What the weapon lacks as far as cutting like a traditional blade, it makes up for with reach and swiftness, allowing her to lash out against more than one opponent at a time if the need arises. Darling extends a length and a half past her arm length, though at that distance she loses all sense of speed and finesse making it highly ineffective to fight at too long a range. 

[b]Limit Break:[/b] [b]Absolutely Darling[/b]

Darling's blade splits into thin metal strips that coil and wrap around an opponent, holding them in a vice grip that would be painful enough with sharp metal digging into you. With an opponent firmly wrapped up tight, Karla snaps her fingers and Darling now acts as a lightning rod, a bolt of electricity travelling up the metal and giving whoever is wrapped up quite the shock. When she pulls Darling back, it reforms into its single bladed self and is returned to her waist. 

[b]Personality:[/b] As evidenced by her attire as well in how she speaks and carries herself, Karla fancies herself as something of a wealthy aristocratic type. She might have to lower herself to associate with common riffraff, but that doesn't mean she will do so without making sure everyone is aware of where they stand in comparison to her. It's not uncommon for her to cover her mouth and let out a mocking laugh or speak with a certain condescension in her voice that tends to annoy others rather quickly. She speaks with a haughty tone that sounds natural even if it sometimes comes across as completely hollow and put-on. That she also carries an unorthodox weapon and has a tendency to laugh when using it has given others pause, but any attempt to delve further into her methods is just met with more of that haughty, condescending laughter. 

[b]Biography:[/b] Karla calls Deling City home though whether she was truly born there remains unknown, and she's not one to go into any further detail on the matter. For all intents and purposes, Karla comes from Deling City which has given her an inflated view of the world, believing that people from other places are mere simpletons who lack elegance, sophistication, and grace. It's not an attitude shared by some of her peers, but it's one she holds to. Her father tended bar at Galbadia Hotel while her mother worked as a maid, caring for and cleaning after guests of certain note. It was in observing her parents serve and deal with wealthier sorts that Karla took a liking to the life, the fancy dresses, the wealth, the way in which they carried themselves, it was all so appealing to a young girl's mind. 

She was taken from the life of hotel duties to enroll in Galbadia Garden. Her motivation wasn't to better herself or even to become a SeeD, but purely out of selfish reasons that, as of yet, haven't come to fruition. At first, her fellow students gave her a week before she gave up and returned to her parents a quitter, but that week turned into a month which turned into a year, which eventually turned into her completing training. Karla wished to serve in the Galbadian Military specifically so she could get a posting in the Presidential Manor, where all the truly interesting and high class citizens flock to. 

The mercenary life of a SeeD was never her intent, and she finds the whole thing rather droll, but it's a necessary evil for lauching into a career with the Galbadian Military; because what good citizen of Deling City doesn't want the honor of serving their nation proudly and with distinction. And also possibly meeting a sharp minded military sort with a decent amount of gil stored away for a rainy day. Though clearly selfish in her desires, Karla is still a woman who holds to certain principals and though it might come with a scoff, she's not above getting her hands dirty in battle. She's from Galbadia after all. She has to do them proud.
