There are even times when fellow Turks tease her about her height, or call her [color=lightpink][b]"Short-Stack"[/b][/color], to get a reaction.[/indent] [h3]Weight[/h3] [indent]Weighing [color=lightpink][b]102 pounds[/b][/color], she has a habit of being thrown around in battle...[/indent] [h3]Hair Color[/h3] [indent]Penn has [color=lightpink][b]natural ombre hair[/b][/color], as it goes from [color=lightpink][b]silvery white[/b][/color] at the roots, a [color=lightpink][b]light pinkish purple[/b][/color] down the middle, and then to a [color=lightpink][b]soft icy blue[/b][/color] at the ends. As her hair grows out, it slowly changes color, resulting in the gradient ombre. Her hair is often [color=lightpink][b]curly[/b][/color], stopping at her bottom and she keeps her front bangs instead of parting it to the side.[/indent] [h3]Eye Color[/h3] [indent]Penn's natural eye color is [color=lightpink][b]blue[/b][/color], but she does [color=lightpink][b]need to wear either glasses or contacts[/b][/color] in order to see properly. The contacts make her eyes significantly lighter, while she wears baby blue framed square glasses when outside of battle.[/indent] [h3]Written Description[/h3] [indent]Pendulum is a petite young girl, standing at five feet exactly and weighing about one hundred pounds give or take. She has curly ombre hair that's usually left out when not on missions and blue eyes that change color depending on if she's wearing contacts or glasses. Her skin is surprisingly smooth and silky, void of any knicks or battle scars. Her casual wears often consists of a knee length short sleeved periwinkle dress with white flats, and a black shoal with a bow in the front. When on duty, Penn wears the standard Turk uniform, a navy blue suit with dark low heels and her hair tied into a high ponytail with a dark band. Her pendulums are often hidden in her sleeves.[/indent] [h3]Personality[/h3] [indent] When first meeting Pendulum, she seems to have a cold, aloof personality based off of her appearance. She appears to have a distant attitude around everyone except for those she's seen on a day to day basis...that is until you get close enough to actually talk to her. The true Penn is a very crude, violent, arrogant, and aggressive person. Having an attitude reminiscent of a teenage delinquent, Penn tends to come off as very anti-heroic, if not downright evil. This problematic behavior goes all the way back to her early childhood days and having to cope with being mostly deaf in both ears. Uncomfortably brutal at times, Penn smiles eerily when finding herself in the middle of a battle. Her personality reflects her fighting style when alone: mercilessly assaulting the opponent with pendulums and having no regard for anything other than the enemies around her. Despite this, she's quite talented in fighting, using her pendulums in various ways besides attacking. She's also very intelligent, being capable of strategic planning and investigating, to the point that some even consider her a prodigy among Turks. While not the most mentally stable fighter, despite having the image of one, she knows who her enemies and allies are. Cold to her allies, but colder to her enemies. She's also very rude and foul-mouthed, which makes her hard to approach; with the help of other Turks, her aggressive outbursts become less aggressive. With that in mind, Penn knows when to be mature, although is still quite aloof and unsociable, showing disinterest in hanging out with her fellow allies, even when she wants to. Due to the constant praise of her abilities, Pendulum has a superiority complex and wants to be first and the best at everything. She doesn't like when people look down on her, as if they were superior; thus, it diminishes her already short fuse. Because of this complex, she's implied to be anti-social; she seems not to care for much people. Penn is also immensely prideful, as she hates the idea of others either helping her or her having to rely on others to assist her in battle. Because of her pride, Penn refuses to work together with others claiming she can do whatever she's assigned on her own. However, she will repay those who help her. She likes napping, drinking tea, and anything cute. She dislikes loud sounds, the smell of oil, and cheese, and has the habit of talking to herself, watching her pendulum absently, and she easily becomes distressed and even cries randomly due to bottled up emotions leaking out. This also leads to uncontrollable shaking from time to time.[/indent] [h3]Background[/h3] [indent]Pendulum remembers only small parts of her past, back when she was still Fubuki Weiss. She remembered that she was one of the many people that lived in Midgar's slums as an orphan; except she was a little different. Instead of banding together with others to survive, she was all alone. For one, her appearance shied away those that tried to approach her. She always had a hard time seeing, and was never able to understand those around her, never obtaining the human interaction that most needed to remain sane. Fubuki remembers being bullied, even those in the slums beating her down, forcing her to steal food, and spitting at her when she 'ignored' them...all of it was forever etched into her mind resulting in the occasional trembling fits she has to this day. Fortunately, their efforts gave hope to Fubuki, as one day during her 'errands', stood face to face with an open book next to one of the merchants' booths. She knew she was only suppose to get necessities, but she couldn't possibly pass this up. So she stole the book and took it back to the slums, her eyes squinting just see the pictures displayed in the book. This book lead to Fubuki's interest in the Delacriox Family. She didn't know what they did exactly, but their symbol, followed by the picture of a woman praying to the wings of a bird were etched into the girl's mind, giving her hope. She often drew these symbols in the dirt and picked up forgotten bird feathers to pray on them at night. It was the only thing that kept her believing that everything would be alright. She had no idea how long she had been doing such things, but before she knew it, her wish had come true. She remembered military men walking through the slums, picking up every person they thought they could use (for what? Penn could only assume for the Genome experiments now thinking back on it), Fubuki being one of them. She could only watch in awe, remembering how hard she prayed and how many times she drew the symbol, only to see it etched onto the shield of the girls walking within the troops. Before she could even express her gratitude for giving her hope, the girl was whisked away. Before the girl even knew it, a few years had past and Fubuki Weiss was no more. Declining the offer to the SOLDIER program, Pendulum opted to work under the Turks, hoping to learn ore about the world in the process. With eyes and ears like her, she knew she couldn't be a SOLDIER, at least not at that time. She had to learn how to read, write, get an education, sign language, and at least understand basic lip movements.[/indent] [h3]Weapon[/h3] [indent]Pendulum's primary weapon is, if you couldn't guess, is dual pendulums. She usually has the ends of the pendulums wrapped around her finger or wrist to use them more freely. It has extreme range (3.5 m), being useful in mostly mid and long range attacks. She usually alternates between three different types of pendulums (using two at the same time), each one holding materia within it.

The move first begins with Penn uncontrollably shaking, her eyes roll to he back of her head, and her head tilting back as if looking up at the sky. She opens her mouth, only to release a bloodcurdling scream. Pendulum chains made of ice shoot out of her body, causing her to scream louder in pain. Chains shoot out in all directions, preventing enemies (and even some allies) from escaping; if they're unlucky and touch said chains, the person in question is inflicted with freeze. Once the chains connect to a hard surface, the area around Penn (exactly 10 feet to 20 feet depending on mood) erupts in a flurry of frozen icicles (a form of Blizzaga if that's okay), growing as tall as 20 feet. This lasts for 17 seconds and has the same effects as the chains, being able to freeze and physically hurt those who touch them. After her Limit Break, she is normally left unconscious. Her Limit actually does cause pain to her and is count as an AOE move.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Laphicet Kyrielight] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/X0jqnJ5.png[/img][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/d4Jn2xF.jpg[/img] [img]http://txt-dynamic.cdn.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjg4LmZmNmI2Yi5La3hoY0docFkyVjBLZywsLjAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/please-dont-take-my-man.regular.png[/img][/center] [h3]Name[/h3] [indent]They go by [color=#FF6B6B][b]Laphicet Kyrielight[/b][/color], but their friends and people in their fan club call them [color=#FF6B6B][b]Laphi[/b][/color]...so basically everyone calls them Laphi.[/indent] [h3]Age[/h3] [indent]Despite their youthful appearance, Laphi is [color=#FF6B6B][b]twenty-one years old[/b][/color]. Yeah, I know.[/indent] [h3]Date of Birth[/h3] [indent][color=#FF6B6B][b]January 17 εγλ 1980[/b][/color][/indent] [h3]Gender[/h3] [indent]Although being [color=#FF6B6B][b]biologically male[/b][/color], they identify as [color=#FF6B6B][b]genderfluid[/b][/color] and usually sticks with [color=#FF6B6B][b]non-binary and sometimes male pronouns[/b][/color].[/indent] [h3]Height[/h3] [indent]Laphicet stands at a below average [color=#FF6B6B][b]five feet and four inches[/b][/color].[/indent] [h3]Weight[/h3] [indent]127 lbs[/indent] [h3]Hair Color[/h3] [indent]Laphicet originally had [color=#FF6B6B][b]blonde hair[/b][/color], but since going through the SOLDIER experiment, their hair has faded to a [color=#FF6B6B][b]light purplish white[/b][/color]. It's [color=#FF6B6B][b]semi long[/b][/color] in length and stops just above their shoulders. Another side effect of the experiment would be Laphi's "fake ears" which are the same color as their hair. The [color=#FF6B6B][b]horns on their head[/b][/color], however, are a [color=#FF6B6B][b]stark purple[/b][/color] color.[/indent] [h3]Written Description[/h3] [indent]Laphicet is a below average [color=#FF6B6B][b]biological male[/b][/color] with a [color=#FF6B6B][b]fragile build[/b][/color] as they stand only a few inches above five feet. They have [color=#FF6B6B][b]semi long light purple white hair[/b][/color] that stops just above their shoulders and [color=#FF6B6B][b]milky white skin[/b][/color]. Before becoming a SOLDIER, [color=#FF6B6B][b]Laphicet had ruby red eyes[/b][/color]. In terms of casual clothing, Laphicet is know for wearing [color=#FF6B6B][b]clothing that those in their fan club send them[/b][/color] so it could be almost anything, really. However, when it comes to their [color=#FF6B6B][b]unique SOLDIER uniform[/b][/color], Laphicet wears a [color=#FF6B6B][b]sleeveless white and red turtleneck jacket[/b][/color], [color=#FF6B6B][b]dark colored shorts[/b][/color] that stop just above their knees, and [color=#FF6B6B][b]dark shoes[/b][/color]. [color=#FF6B6B][b]Bandages[/b][/color] wrap around their elbows to their fingertips and all of their shins. These parts usually had some piece of [color=#FF6B6B][b]light armor[/b][/color] over top them, including a thin breastplate that goes underneath their jacket. Laphicet's [color=#FF6B6B][b]signature yin and yang chakrams[/b][/color] hang off the loops attached to the sides of their jacket. Due to accepting Fenrir's DNA, Laphi's hair changed colors, and it [color=#FF6B6B][b]sticks up in two sections[/b][/color], giving off the impression that they have [color=#FF6B6B][b]animal ears[/b][/color]; these parts of their hair are pretty sensitive too. They also have [color=#FF6B6B][b]stark purple horns[/b][/color] that stick out from just under their "animal ears", only sticking an inch or two out of their hair.[/indent] [h3]Personality[/h3] [indent]Laphicet is very nice, but they also has a very meek and timid personality. They tend to be very shy and apologizes a lot; it's easy to intimidate them to the point of tears. However, they also love to talk to those that are willing to look past their meek nature, and becomes much more lively whenever they're given a chance to speak up. Laphi is probably one of the kindest and softest 1st class SOLDIER you'll ever meet, as they literally wouldn't hurt something so long as said something doesn't deserve it. They have a deep deep disdain for disputes occurring between friends or allies, often trying to stop them once they start. Unfortunately, Laphicet also had a deep-rooted complex over being looked down on by others as being "weak". This happened as a result of memories and experiences from their childhood where they were frequently bullied and told to act tougher due to them being rather frail for a boy, resulting in their now gender-fluidity. By doing such, they were able to feel more comfortable about what they lacked and was finally able to ignore all the negatives that people threw at them; although there are times when specific gender comments strike a chord in Laphi, this being the only thing that can get him particularly angry. Though they try to hide it, they get uncomfortable when others treat them as a girl and sometimes a boy, and they would rather spend time with other boys instead of girls. They greatly admire men who are physically strong and they wish they could be like them at times. Laphi likes to cook, bake and read books, but dislikes natural disasters, fighting, and bloodshed; hence why they are more of a support based fighter. They also go completely bonkers when they see anything chocobo related. When it comes to Laphi's fan club, they are very open with them and loves to interact with them, even accepting gifts.[/indent] [h3]Background[/h3] [indent]Laphicet was much like any other farmer boy, working under his adopted grandfather who found him abandoned at said farm when he was only three. Due to his fragile build and weak body, he was originally kept away from the chocobos due to the possibility of getting trampled by them. It was only when he turned seven that his grandfather deemed it was safe for him to start helping out. Laphicet was absolutely enamored with the feathered being, tending to them every chance he got; he even slept with them in the stables if he was sneaky enough. When he wasn't playing and helping out with the chocobos, Laphi listened on to visitor's conversations and made small talk with the younger visitors. All they would talk about is becoming a SOLDIER, fan clubs, and who was stronger compared to the other, most of which had no real meaning to the boy. However, slowly, but surely, as more and more kids brought up SOLDIERs, Laphi knew he had to work hard and become of them, for the sake of his real parents and grandfather; he also knew that if he became a SOLDIER he would be famous in a way, and his parenta would be bound to hear his name and come looking for him. This new drive slowly lead to Laphicet focusing more on his studies, but it also gave way to the worse year of his life. Now thirteen years old, Laphicet noticed how boy like him were a lot taller than him, and had more toned muscles, and deeper voices while he just stayed the same. He would often get picked on by his so-called friends for looking and sounding like a girl. His grandfather told him that he was bound to start changing any day, but four years later and nothing. This lead to Laphicet changing their gender identity to genderfuild, remaining as such for the rest of their life. Only a few months after accepting their new gender identity, Laphi was accepted into the SOLDIER program and despite having very decent fighting capabilities, what actually got them to 1st class would have to be their excellent support in battle. Laphi knew how to tend to those around them, and this carried to the battlefield, giving them the alias of the SOLDIER's Backbone, one that remains loyal to this very day.[/indent] [h3]Summon Genome[/h3] [indent]Fenrir[/indent] [h3]Weapon[/h3] [indent][hider=Picture][img]https://i.imgur.com/y2MckAJ.jpg[/img][/hider] Laphicet wields dual rounded chakrams with a curved center that give the chakrams the appearance of the yin yang symbol. The materia are slotted on the circumference of the chakram.

When Laphicet is brought to the brink of death, they cross their arms and throw their chakrams in front of them, the weapons circling around them and their party members. The chakrams emit a green light, one that casts Cura and eliminates all status effects the party is under.[/indent][/hider]
