For the most part, she displays a moderately muscled, hardened physique, with a flat, taut abdomen to boot. Her figure, for the most part, is one expected to have at this state of growth in a teenager, and tends to do her best when caring for said body. Like her family, Adrianne's natural hair coloring is black, with the white steaks being dyed and "experimental" as she calls it. Following more traits of her family (mother's side) are her piercing, focused red eyes; she used to wear glasses, but now sticks to wearing contacts due to the nature of her powers. The only thing she really got from her dad was the fact that she grew two small horns like him on the sides of her head. Other than that, she often has a frown that generally makes her appear to have a scornful, resting bitch face. If anything is to say about her clothes, its... that Adrianne has never picked them out. Honestly, if it looks good to her parents, she'll just roll with it, such as the given example of her current wear displayed above. The first thing to note is the clear, white blouse she has on, which is somewhat large considering that it obscures the skirt she has on. Following this are a couple of purple ribbons that she has been taught to tie around at certain portions on her body. The only thing she can really say that she likes about said clothing is that it mostly is loose.[/indent] [sub][color=0054a6][b]Characterization[/b][/color][/sub] [indent]- Bitter - Disciplined - No-nonsense - Passionate - Perfectionist - Quiet - Serious - Somewhat lonely - Usually reserved - Vindictive to a certain degree[/indent] [sub][color=0054a6][b]Personal History[/b][/color][/sub] [indent]Quirks... they defined the family legacy, their culture, and why they were so specific. This is what made the Kunze's reject any notion of those who didn't fall under their concepts, their creation of a hero, their desires, the history they wanted to leave on this world. So what happens when someone is born not fitting into this mold? It depends on the progenitor, the parents they come from... as well as the current matriarch or patriarch of the house and triumvirates. They weren't revered as a great house that bred top heroes for nothing, especially since attending some of the top schools for being a hero was the norm. [hr] Adrianne was born in Düsseldorf to a pair of Pro Heroes, one of which had a job outside of heroism; her mother with telekinesis who was one of many children born from the Kunze lineage and her father who had the quirk to transform any part of his body, sometimes his entire self, into an entity resembling a demon in old myths and legends; he also worked as an elementary teacher. Growing up, she was the middle child, between her older brother Lukas, and her younger sister, Lisbeth. For the most part, their lives were normal, as much as you could call normal in this quirky world. However, it was more like Adrianne's world was a ticking time bomb as a result of the family she was born into. Her mom was of a Germanic heritage, one that cultivated and grew children with psychic quirks... mostly telekinesis. They would often grow these children to be the very best through strenuous training that forced them to expand their powers before sending them to one of higher up hero academies of the world when they came of age... mostly U.A. While her brother and younger sisters quirk manifested as Telekinesis, hers... well... She gained her fathers quirk instead - being able to transform certain parts of her body into limbs or parts that were similar to those of a demon. Upon hearing this, The Kunze's generally consensus for disposing of children like this was to put them in an orphanage. Usually when this happened, a divorce would surely follow, but yet, there was none of it. Her mother, nor father fought about this and decided that they wouldn't abandon their child to uphold that legacy. This made the annual family meetings in Germany awkward, especially when it came to discussions about further training involving said children. None of the adults, aside from her own parents even acknowledged her; playing with her cousins was an alright ordeal, at least until she noticed something - that she had a different quirk than them all. Honestly, it was a bit strange, but she never felt the impact later in her life until more and more of these annual meetings continued. Everyone became so... distant. Instead of the silence from the adults, she was met with callous remarks. Only when her mother eventually took her aside, she then learned what was going on and why. While it was a bit difficult for her childlike mind to understand, there was a certain type of juvenile hatred, yet desire to be accepted. She tried her damndest to be noticed, or have them acknowledge her, only to be met with the same condescending attitude than before. This only seemed to embitter Adrianne, driven now by a mixture of spite and a desperate attempt at being loved by those who chose not to acknowledge her, even going so far as to mimic the training she saw Lukas and Lisbeth go through! Of course, when some members of the Kunzes caught wind of this, well... they decided to play it off to their advantage, maybe break the girl a little and drive her away since she besmirched that legacy they were constantly trying to make. Despite saying she was behind and constantly decided to push her and put her into scenario's more befitting of telekinetic users, she ultimately failed there... most of the time. Often, she would either power through, or be helped by her older brother, which caused some small amount of resentment to slowly build up towards him over time. Other than that, she often proved to be superior to everyone else in physical activities, taking pride in displaying that she was better than them at that... yet, it was never enough for the Kunzes. After her first time training with the family over summer vacation, Adrianne's father decided to... take some of the matters into his own hands, via utilizing a "specialized" version of quirk counseling that the children received by supplementing her with his own version of training her up... as well as making sure she had time to relax by taking her out on fishing trips, one of his favorite past-times. Every year ended up being the same rinse and repeat, with certain aspects of her personality and life beginning to boil over. She honed her body to a grandiose scale, but at the cost of alienating other people/sacrificing any aspect of a social life she would have, as well as having a strained relationship with her very own brother to the point of always trying to one-up him. Of course, that was made worse when he decided to attend U.A., the #1 ranked school in the world for heroics. The Kunze's encouraged it, seeing it as a way to continue displaying their greatness, as well as giving the boy a chance to shine... plus, it did help that a few of them were graduates from that place, including the current patriarch. Upon hearing this, their father was ecstatic and approving of the choice... however, their mother was against it for a multitude of reasons at first. However, she was eventually won over after witnessing the hard-work he had gone through, the enthusiasm he displayed, and a certain desire in his eyes, she eventually cracked. While the Kunze's began utilizing their connections to ensure he got in through recommendation, making meetings with some of their children and friends to prepare for his lodgings, and so on, Lukas and his family began filling out all the paperwork (with him doing most of the work)... with Adrianne bearing witness to all of this. During this time, she became more unresponsive, quiet, brooding, and above all envious. There was a certain chill during this time as she began to push herself and train even harder to the point where she would just pass out from frustration, exhaustion, or a mixture of both. The demeaning comments from the Kunze's as she continued to push herself didn't exactly help her state of mind. Upon witnessing this, something just cracked inside of her. Instead of trying to attend the school her mother or father attended, she began researching Japan, forgoing the original desire to head to the #1 school in Europe to prove herself. That wouldn't be enough, no. They would continue to ignore her, treat her lesser than the dirt she walked on. She pondered on attending U.A. for a second before recalling her older brother. How would she be able to stand out from someone who was going to get in by recommendation? The Kunze's certainly wouldn't do [i]that[/i] for her. How would they be able to see what she was capable of? How would they appreciate her for the bullshit she had to deal with? They would never understand her... So her next target became the second best school in Japan - Ishin Academy. She was going to rip that spotlight away from him and show the Kunze's, the students, the staff her worth. She wasn't just going to be a shadow to her brother, constantly being overlooked. In the midst of her training, she began pouring more and more research into the place, even requesting that her parents get that same Japanese language tutor they had for Lukas over. Of course, they said no and constantly tried to get her to apply somewhere else... that is, until they saw something reminiscent of Lukas in their eyes; while the reasons for her going differentiated largely, they saw that same desire. Defeated and mildly worried, they hired the tutor once more. Over the course of these few passing years, everything continued to get harder and harder for her, especially since she learned more about Ishin through a second hand source - the tutor. She learned about how rigorous the school was as she began recollecting and regaling tales her close friend told her about the place, especially with how they treated foreigners. It caused her to draw more similarities to her own relatives than before, causing a certain disdain for the place to be imprinted upon her mind and only further amplified the sheer spite she had for the Academy and the Kunze's. It didn't help that the Kunze's caught wind of this endeavor and desire swiftly. During the Kunze's annual training, they made points that only a few of them had been able to graduate from that place with their dignity and pride intact, even occasionally slipping that there's no way someone like her would possibly succeed, and that she should just give up. The blunt, minor remarks were a far cry from the indirect way of getting her to give up... yet at this stage in her development, they were enough to push her even further, stirring up the accumulated spite within even more... She wasn't just going to give up... it wasn't in Adrianne's nature after all.[/indent] [sub][color=0054a6][b]Character Development & Conceptualization[/b][/color][/sub] [indent]My first thought over her when creating this chick was a reverse-Todoroki... namely due to where she originated from, but that's a story for another time. Adrianne is a character that I see fighting against society itself, specifically her Mother's side of the family. As a result of not being born with a psychic or telekinetic quirk, she is often forgone by most people over said side, and even shunned or bullied. This (probably) wouldn't be such a large problem if her mother's side of the family wasn't known for producing great Pro Heroes with said psychic or telekinetic quirks, but I digress. In due part, she fights against the discrimination she faced growing up, to make said family bear witness to the powers they ultimately devalue when "creating" new heroes. Granted, this comes with some drawbacks, such as the meaning of being a hero to Adrianne, but that'll be covered later on. Right now, I see her as being antagonistic to a certain degree, and probably not making a whole lot of friends. If anything, she'll probably be dismissive or frustrated at the other students, namely due to trying to prove herself, but mostly because she lacks any sort of knowledge over how to have a normal conversation with another person. Uniquely, she'll probably impose the views her Mom's side of the family has onto the school itself, seeing them as a stone to defeating aid families mindset. To add on to the latter portion, namely the way she interacts with others, I made her mostly a workaholic who has a singular goal and works tirelessly at it. Adrianne lacks any sort of social life and has been a sort of reclusive girl her entire life, never bothering to stop and smell the roses. I hope for her to start off, again, not thinking too much, but show some sort of growing desire for acceptance and companionship amongst her peers, eventually blossoming into respect and other things. Following that, it would help her get through this unhealthy aspect of life, i.e. focusing primarily on work, and not working on improving other aspects of her life that help make a healthy person. The question, what it means to be a hero I don't think has ever popped up in her mind. In fact, the only reason she's going out of her way to prove herself is to force her mother's side of the family to see the value in powers like hers, as well as to be accepted. Basically, to be a "great" hero; by "great," I don't mean that she'll be selfless and altruistic. Ironically enough, she'll be more like said family at first, motivated purely by her own self-interest. Eventually, I hope to develop her into someone who decides to "shrug" off the family name and strike out as her own hero; one that inspires hope in the "underdogs" of society, and those who are generally oppressed. To sum it up, she ironically is becoming the same thing she is fighting against, but I want her to grow out of it, possibly learning to not only be a better person, but to respect and understand others, and do what it takes to go beyond and become her own person.[/indent] [h3]Abilities & Talents[/h3][hr][sub][color=0054a6][b]Quirk Type[/b][/color][/sub] [indent]Transformation[/indent] [sub][color=0054a6][b]Quirk Description[/b][/color][/sub] [indent]Adrianne's quirk developed from her father's side, allowing her to take on the guise of a [color=0054a6][Demonic Manifestation][/color]. This allows her to take on the traits associated with demons or demonic beings from myth and legend, allowing her to augment her physical ability based on which physical shape she transforms her body into. Two examples are changing both of her lower limbs into goat-like legs, increasing her agility, as well as allowing her to cover more distance vertically when leaping into the air; the other example is altering her arms (and to some extension the area around her spine) into a chitinous, gnarled, twisted claws with jagged edges going all the way down to her spine. The main part of this all is that she can utilize this as a way to increase her strength and tear opponents to shreds rather easily, but also has a few other functions as well (i.e. a bit of defense and slow climbing). Due to not having complete control over this quirk, she can only change a specific portion of her body to encompass said strengths and traits of a demon. Moreover, while she can swiftly transform said parts of her body to match a specific trait, doing so too much in a short amount of time will result in her becoming more and more tired, as well as causing Adrianne to bleed around certain parts of her body where she formerly transformed.[/indent] [sub][color=0054a6][b]Other Talents & Attributes[/b][/color][/sub] [indent][b]Don't Underestimate Me!:[/b] You think she can't handle a punch or give one back without her [color=0054a6][Demonic Manifestation][/color]? Family training on her mothers end, as well as her fathers training, boxing lessons, as well as a few scuffles without her quirk will say otherwise. [b]German, Japanese, I Got It:[/b] As a result of trying to prove herself to her own family, as well as being able to speak with future classmates, she has taken it up to become bilingual. While she did pick up the tongue of her German heritage rather quickly, Japan was a bit difficult to come by... but nevertheless, she doesn't make as many mistakes as she did before!... probably. [b]Hook, Line, and Sinker:[/b] Whenever she wasn't busy working herself to be the absolute best, her father often brought her out on fishing trips... rather, dragged since she would probably keep declining if he didn't. She started out hating it, then begrudgingly going along with it since there was nothing to do, and finally silently enjoying it. [b]Jab, Jab, Left Hook!:[/b] As a part of her own physical training, she often works out and partakes in boxing. While she is a bit of a rookie, Adrianne has a really nasty left swing, and is more of a southpaw than anything. This training also helps her destressify, via inelegantly punching the crap out of a bag or her trainer. [b]Mind Spotting Me?:[/b] To continue over the latter, this is a part of her families (mothers side) training regiment, taking to it a lot easier than her cousins and very much excelling in it. Enjoys taking in the fact that shes superior in this section when compared to said cousins and even her own brother as well.[/indent]
