[u][b]Personality[/b][/u]
Chiharu is a somewhat shy and awkward girl, who feels as if she totally lacks any kind of ability to help others. Indeed, who would want help from a short, weak girl like her? They're better off with just about anyone else, as far as Chiharu is concerned. There's no point in her even trying. Chiharu has a severe lack of confidence in herself, and believes herself to be someone fully without any kind of inner strength or resolve. And yet, she doesn't want to see people suffer or get hurt. But there isn't anything she thinks she can do about that. She's nervous around new people and easily frightened, and yet Chiharu wants, deep down, in spite of her doubts, to be able to help people. But someone like her, someone as useless as she believes herself to be, couldn't possibly help anyone, could they? Chiharu isn't without friends, and those who are close to her are among the only people she doesn't feel some level of nervousness around. She wants to be more friendly, but struggles to talk to new people.

[u][b]Background[/b][/u]
Chiharu is the youngest child of the Yukimura family. She's seen her older siblings, her brother Daisuke and her sister Sumire, excel in sports and academics, but never found anything that she was able to do. She wanted to help people, but failed. She tried to protect a friend from bullying, but simply ended up as a target of bullying herself, her shy nature attacked again and again, causing her to withdraw during elementary school. She was not friendless, but she was harassed almost constantly for attempting to stand up for her friend. This faltered as Chiharu got older, and soon the bullying ceased, but she now held the belief that she had only served to worsen the situation. How could she possibly help anyone after that?

[u][b]Powers[/b][/u]
[list][*][b]Card: VIII - [color=0054a6]|Strength|[/color][/b]
The Major Arcana [b][color=0054a6]|Strength|[/color][/b] grants Chiharu a tremendous amount of physical power. Concrete shatters under her fists, rocks break from the impacts of her kicks, and if she lands hard enough she can shatter the ground beneath her. Her durability increases as well, allowing her to take hits with much greater ease then she would in her civilian form. This power is based off of strength itself, which Chiharu believes is strength granted to her by the Major Arcana itself. After all, she has no inner strength, right? It must be granted by the card. The fact that she has such an increase in power does boost her confidence for the duration of her transformation at least. She can help people now, Chiharu feels like she actually has some use. Finally, she can also generate orbs of magical energy that currently seem pretty useless, simply floating near her.[/list]

[u][b]Skills[/b][/u]
Chiharu isn't very athletic in her civilian form, and doesn't do particularly well academically. She doesn't feel she has any skills of note... unless you talk to her about baking or hotblooded anime characters.

[u][b]Weapons[/b][/u]
Chiharu gains a pair of gauntlets, [b][color=0054a6]|Jarngreipr|[/color][/b]. They are blue and bulky, the wrist guards composed of interlocking plates. These plates open to allow magical energy to erupt out, allowing Chiharu to supercharge her punches or light the gauntlets on "fire" with magical energy.

[u][b]Equipment[/b][/u]
Chiharu has no equipment to speak of.
