[b]Name:[/b] Rei'ha Valis Laurahnt [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Appearance:[/b] She has turquoise colored hair often styled in a messy ponytail reaching to her shoulder blades. Her skin is slightly pale. She's slender without being too skinny. [b]Personality:[/b] She's not easily bothered, maintain a calm personality unless under very heated circumstances. She can even cut down enemies while keeping a straight face and otherwise behave normally. The way of the sword is a normal way of life for her is one explanation for this. She's not super ruthless but she doesn't hold back much in combat against bad people. She's not too worried about her own well being, getting the job done reliably for the good of others. [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Physical Abilities-[/b] She's athletic enough to match theoretical limits of the human body, especially in speed while her raw strength lag a bit behind. Her reactions are superb enough to be considered near instantaneous. The setting she comes from has humans naturally more physically adept then us earthlings so it's her skill that sets her apart more than her physical traits. [b]Sword Training-[/b] Her skills with the sword are among the best, defeating four master level opponents at once as the crowning achievement of her swordsmanship. Basically, it's unlikely she'd loose a straight swordfight without being physically overwhelmed, although there's still a select few who can beat her, especially if they take her off guard with something she's not yet seen, given that she's used to defeating opponents too fast to see many techniques to threaten her. Due to her tribe having a large number of seemingly unnaturally gifted swordfighters, it's debatably the work of magical influence over them, explaining how she got so good at such a young age even being a prodigy. It's important to note that she never defeated the master who trained her or a few other members of her tribe but could defeat masters of other tribes without too much difficulty. Still, she's among the best of her tribe even if not being the absolute best. [b][u]Equipment[/u][/b] [b]Weapons:[/b] What can be translated to as "The Dancing Blade", her weapon offers her even more sword techniques then normally possible. She found it at age 13 in a temple where the blade was considered sacred, resting in the hands of the statue of one of their most respected warriors. Before her parents could stop her she had curiously climbed up onto the statue and drew the sword during the middle of service. The sword is known to behave on it's own to some extent and would not allow just anyone to draw it. As such the priest allowed her to keep it, given that the sword clearly willed this to occur. After the sword is drawn and in hand it can control it's own momentum enough to change it's movements and even move the arm that's carrying it, in turn dragging the rest of the body with it as if it's a puppet, but can't control any fine movement. This power can sync into Rei'ha's mind to allow her control over the blade, not the blade just controlling her. The momentum is so swift at canceling out that even if she does a downward swing with all of her might, the sword can change direction on a dime by canceling the momentum out instantly. It cannot add more momentum then what she can physically carry out but it can swiftly reach her peak performance and back to zero again as the need requires it. This power only works involving the sword, so if she kicks she still has momentum work like a normal kick. Reih'ha is so in tuned with the sword that it can even work on her brain waves while she's asleep, although without her contributing to the finer movements she'd be more like a ragdoll jerking around then a professional swordsman, mainly good for swinging her arm around to block a single attack if they thought they had her by surprise, and the sound and force of the blow would likely be enough to wake her and she could take it from there. It's possible the sword could control her for a short while after death but would require a brain connection still to her arm. [b][u]Bio[/u][/b] She was born into the well known Valis tribe of people as a member of the Laurahnt family who's a part of the tribe, the different families sharing the same family tree if going back far enough. The Laurahnt were one of the more recent additions so not generally thought to be as powerful or as worthy of respect of some of the other ones. However, they were really hard working and able to make their way in the tribe well enough as a result for this and their military service. Rei'ha has a twin named Ran'ha who's the only male heir to their family but is suffering from an unknown lung disease that makes living, far less sword fighting, strenuous and difficult even if he's insanely talented. As such Rei'ha acts like a big sister who protects him and fights his battles for him even if he wants her to live a more normal life. The truth is she always loved swords more than him anyways. The only thing stopping her from having a massive sword collection is money and that she believes swords should be enjoyed by everyone, not hoarded by her while she doesn't have the time to care for them, too busy with her brother and mastering her skills. She was always bored at their religious ceremonies so her love of swords compelled her to mess around with the Dancing Blade one morning, earning her first real sword in the process, much to her dismay but something she gladly accepted and would likely only hand it over from her cold, dead hands if they somehow managed to pry it from them. She loves it almost as much as her brother, who trained her how to use it so reminds her of him. One day Ran'ha mysteriously left after a brisk farewell that she only understood as such after he was already gone. With no clue where he went, she wanders around, practicing her swordsmanship while searching for a solution to this mystery. Not only does she want her brother back, but she's also worried for other reasons what might be afoot.
