[list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Yamato Karin [*][u][b]Magical Girl Title:[/b][/u] Paperbag Mask/ Heart Dove II [*][u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 10 [*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female([color=ed1c24][u][b]MAGICAL GIRLS MUST BE GIRLS!!![/b][/u][/color]) [*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [url=https://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1885786]I have a cat, your argument is invalid.[/url] [*][u][b]Magical Girl Appearance:[/b][/u] As Paperbag Mask, her magical outfit is ... a magical paperbag of incredible durability with two hole cuts for her eyes. That's it. The rest of her clothes are everyday wear clothes, albeit reinforced with magic. She also possesses a long red scarf. As Heart Dove II,[url=https://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1921416] however...[/url] [*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Rin is what you could ascertain a child spoiled rotten. She has been given everything in a silver platter, and as such she is whimsical and self-centered... or at least it seems so at face value. Kin is more mature than her age implies, and she has a rather keen mind. As such, she craves for social affection regardless of her richborn status, and loathes how everything in her life was easy while for others it wasn't. Her magical outfit as Paperbag Mask is a sort of self-deprecation taken to the extreme. She doesn't wish to be that special. She doesn't wish to be that famous. She wants to help the world because she feels she[i] has [/i] to. Her heart is definitely in the right place. Karin likes computers and videogames, a byproduct of her sheltered life which has caused her to become somewhat of a shut in. She also finds her own mother's antics pretty embarassing, give that she was a former magical girl. Karin had thus knowledge of magical girls from a close, trusted source, and as such, she is savvy with some things magical girls her age aren't aware of. She also finds the whole sweet and nice speeches really trite and boring (not to mention nerve grating) and as such her attitude towards others even as a magical girl is rather blunt and cynical, sparing no callous remarks when it suits so. She however, acts as a bubbly, optimistic magical girl when under her Heart Dove II guise, in order to not break the image the original Heart Dove, her own mother, had among the community. [*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Karin is good at using computers and software appliances in general. She also knows how to tinker some hardware aswell. She is also good at videogames. She's for the most part a normal 10 year old girl, except that she is loaded with money. She does however possess a rather good grasp of intellectual abilities and rational thought, and she can even formulate plans to a degree. As a second generation, she is also more knowledgeable about magical girls world than the average. [*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] Karin possesses an ability which is called [u]Covenant Link[/u]. With this, she may form bonds with other magical girls, granting a series of boons and effects. A prerequisite to form a bond with another magical girl is skin-to skin touch or (ew) fluid exchange. The bond may be cut off by any of the sides at any given time should they wish to, and likewise to deepen the bond, both sides must concentrate at the same time. Karin can maintain multiple bonds active. [list][*][i]Level 1:[/i] This level of bond allows for shared perceptions, telepathy, as well as magical power transfer, which can work in both ways, but it is usually by Karin to energize other magical girls. [*][i]Level 2:[/i] A deeper bond, this allows Karin to borrow powers from other magical girls and deploy them in battle. The power cost comes at the expense of the other magical girl rather than Karin. [*][i]Level 3:[/i] An even deeper level, Karin herself becomes a copy of the other magical girl, although by doing so she is subservient to the other girl's will. In this case, the magical consumption of the copied powers incurs on Karin, not the other side. Karin can only maintain a Level 3 bond at once, and cannot take benefits of level 2 bonds whilst doing so. [*][i]Level 4:[/i] Level 4 is a bond that goes deeper than any, and it has special requisites. This level is known as the Contract Inheritance, and allows her to claim a copy of the other magical girl's contract and powers as her own. However, to do so Karin must have spent an entire life in skin contact with the other magical girl, and share her blood and genes. So, only one level 4 bond can ever be achieved, that of Karin and her own mother. This bond is what allows her to become Heart Dove. While using this level, she may not benefit of the other contract. [/list] As [u]Heart Dove II[/u], she inherits the same powers as the original Heart Dove, which was an all-rounder magical girl with enhaced strength and speed, as well as the ability to fly rather graciously. Like the original Heart Dove, she could use the Love Spear of Heart Piercing quite adeptly, whether as melee weapon or a thrown homing projectile. [list][*][u]Dove Kick![/u]: Self explanatory. A flying kick in which she swoops down to clobber a target. [*][u]Dove Peck![/u]: A fast energetic series of thrusts with her spear. [*][u]Heart Shield![/u]: Heart Dove twirls her spear in front of her, creating a heart shaped magical shield to mitigate an enemy's attack. [*][u]Piercing Spear of Love![/u]: Heart Dove charges her spear with magical energies, and aims at the heart of a target. Heart Dove's most iconic move and finisher. [/list] [*][u][b]Weapon(s):[/b][/u] Paperbag Mask does not have weapons on her own, unless she uses a Level 3 link, in which case she summons a replica of another magical girl's weapon. As Heart Dove II she can summon the Love Spear of Heart Piercing, a magical spear, that despite her name, is actually harmless to humans and other magical girls. While it is a magical homing weapon that always targets hearts or cores, it passess through most normal beings causing only mild comfort and fuzzy feelings. When it is thrown or used against a Negari target, it hits with the force of a mythical Gungnir or Gae Bolg, obliterating or severely damaging the target. However this kind of thrown shot mean she has to recover the spear manually should she fail, and she can do so many throws (namely one or two) before she runs out of energy. It is meant to be a finisher weapon, after all. [*][u][b]Brief History:[/b][/u] Karin was born from the fairytale (hah!) union of a successful businessman called Yamato Renji and his longtime admirer and crush, a girl called Nodoka. Nodoka was once an average girl who dreamed of marrying a millionarie, and she also had a secret life as Heart Dove, a very successful and popular magical girl. Suffice to say, that she used said success to woo the wealthy man's heart and start a family together with him. Karin is the child that was product of said union, and she was showered with all kinds of care and love. She was after all, a modern world's princess of a modern world fairytale. And the actual fairies did show at some point. A year ago, when Karin witnessed a particular bad discussion between her parents, she spotted a small glittery thing next to her mother. Surprised, she stumbled down the door she was spying and discovered the truth. Her mother did not hide the fact she had been a magical girl, much to her father's displeasure, and how she wanted to go active again much despite her parents protests. It was when Karin made a decision. If new magical girls needed to be recruited, there was no reason why she couldn't become one. After all, she had been given so much in return, it was about time she stopped being a brat and gave something of those back. The fairy, known as Reno, pondered her offer, telling she would arrange something about that. Her father was livid, but didn't say much as he took a beeline for the liquor cabinet, mumbling that Karin was the spitting image of her foolish mother. He did not, however deny her whim. He loved her daughter and wife too much to interfere. Of course, Karin wanted to try something different to her mother this time around... [list][*][u][b]Fairy Name:[/b][/u] Depardieu [*][u][b]Fairy Appearance:[/b][/u] Depardieu is Reno's younger, irresponsible and lazy sister. She's actually somewhat pudgy and marshmellow-like for a fairy, and wears a single piece red and teal dress. She doesn't wear any shoes. She has a mop of brown hair that covers her sleepy-shaped blue eyes. [*][u][b]Fairy Personality:[/b][/u]Depardieu is a slob who believes in the law of minimal effort. Sloth-like and uncharacteristically slow, it takes some prodding, and in some cases, even physical abuse to get her to show a response to anything. The only thing that she actively pursues is eating foodstuffs and finding cozy places to sleep. While she is usually doing nothing most of the time, Depardieu possesses some kind of lazy zen wisdom and can make very down to earth philosophical encouraging remarks (so long as she doesn't run out of food). She is also more keen than most people and fairies give her credit for, and she respects her sister Reno's wishes even if they go against her lazy nature.[/list] [*][u][b]Theme Song:[/b][/u][/list][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btmSuNcxiIU[/youtube]
