Name: Raven Kiroshi Gender: Female Age (14-16): 15 Appearance (include height and weight): height - 5'4" weight - 115 lbs [hider=Raven] [img]https://kazasou.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/yande-re-379664-dark_angel_olivia-granblue_fantasy-heels-shingeki_no_bahamut-sword-tachikawa_mushimaro-wings.jpg?w=1000[/img] [/hider] Costume: Her costume is what she has on in her pic Personality: Raven tends to come off as emotionless, cold, and scary to those who only just look at her and take in her big dark wings, horns, and typical resting face. But to those who actually get to know the girl will know she is quite the opposite. Raven is quite a warm and caring individual her curse having humbled her in a way to know that you can't ever just simply judge anyone as many people have come from different walks of life and gone through many different things to get to where they are today. She is also fiercely protective of those she cares for plus she has a slight feisty/competitive streak to her that definitely is a part of her fierce protectiveness but also it's own thing entirely. Raven also comes across as strong and someone who just brushes off verbal abuse that comes from people who judge her based on her looks but that is a false cover as her wings and horns have always been something she has struggled with. She has mostly accepted the rest of her quirk, minus the dark souls, but she can't accept her physical traits because she to her it will always separate her from everyone else. Quirk: Cleverly named 'The Valkyrie's Curse' by a soul of an old man, that had the quirk of simply having cat ears, who gave her advice when she was about 9 on what to do about the teasing of the physical attributes of her quirk which lead into her basically opening up to the man about the darker side of her quirk which led to the naming. 'The Valkyrie's Curse' caused Raven to be born with wings and horns which is all her family thought she would have to deal with. But eventually, it was found out that her quirk also has her talking to the soul's of the dead people and overall enhanced her attributes(strength, speed, agility, flexibility, durability, and stamina). She only learned of her soul sword ability when she met the soul of a young woman from France who had the same quirk as her and was only able to speak with Raven long enough to tell her of that and not answer her question on what to do about the evil souls that speak to her, much to Raven's chagrin. Raven only tried summoning the sword once and stopped halfway through due to being caught by her mother and thus causing her mother to faint at the sight of her daughter pulling a sword out of her chest. Quirk Flaws: The main flaw in her quirk, also the reason as to why her quirk is called 'The Valkyrie's Curse'... she can speak to the dead. The newly dead can communicate with her and know she can hear them and occasionally see them depending on how recently they died and how close she is to where they died. Some want her to pass on messages to their loved ones, some want her to avenge them, some want her to finish something they started, and others just want someone to talk to as they wait for their chance to leave the plane of existence they are stuck in. Then there are those who just torture her with dark words, horrifying tales. These are the souls of the evil people who found their way to her. The souls of the people who did bad things in their life don't get to leave as quickly as the others. Dependent on what they did, they could be there for years. For those, she can't really do much about them other than receiving constant cleansings, be blessed constantly, and carry around items to ward away the bad souls but that doesn't always work... there are always those few that get around the things she does to keep them away. She keeps this part of her quirk generally to herself as in her past it has only ruined her friendships and even strained her relationship with her family. Another flaw comes when she wishes to use her soul sword. The sword is a literal physical embodiment of her soul thus she drains a good amount of energy when drawing it out and then is putting her soul and self in harms way as if it were to be taken, damaged, or, even worse, broken... all those things would happen to her soul. If taken she will basically become a shell of a person, yes she will live but her soul isn't with her thus she isn't whole. If it is damaged then she will be damaged mentally and emotionally, but with time a damaged soul can be fixed and she will eventually return to normal though in a way scars still remain(which will show as marks on the sword). If the sword is broken, well she may live for some time longer but if the sword is not restored then slowly she will fade, her soul a necessary part of her life and afterlife, so she will just fade as her soul no longer exists.

Yes her quirk may have slightly enhanced her strength past normal human strength but only for the age she is at, thus she must train to raise her strength. Same goes for speed, stamina, agility, flexibility, and durability. Raven also has to train herself in flight and the use of her wings and currently struggles with tight turns while flying and leveling out quickly when diving. That typically ends with her in the infirmary when she tries the diving. --Optional information-- The reason they want to be a hero: After being exposed to so many souls of the innocents killed by villains at a young age she came to dislike the number that only increased day by day. It was after comforting the soul of a young five-year-old girl that Raven decided she wanted to help do something about the innocents dying. Likes: Swords, Fights(For the right reason, not just to fight), being outdoors, heights Dislikes: Dark Souls, people teasing the physical parts of her quirk, small spaces, underground (she is claustrophobic so think things that would trigger that) Skills: She took a liking to swords at a young age, constantly stealing her older brother's play swords to play with. Since her stealing her brother's swords at a young age typically ended with him using his quirk to shock her and Raven's parents didn't like the idea of their little girl fighting they signed her up for dance classes. Those didn't last long as the wings did not make her a very graceful dancer plus the day they got to use ribbons she decided to use hers as a sword and got in trouble. After many other girly classes at a young age all ending poorly they eventually signed Raven up for a class that would teach different forms of fighting along with the virtues to fighting. Through this class, that she took and leveled up in throughout her childhood and into her middle school years, Raven learned how to fight with and without swords. She got better and better until she consistently was able to beat the teacher, the girl just had a knack for fighting and the teacher couldn't be prouder of his pupil. It was from him that Raven was given the two swords she uses for fighting.
