Finally a replacement for the now kind of an NPC'd Vita. [list][*][b][u]Name:[/u][/b] Souseiseki [*][b][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Female [*][b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] [url=https://safebooru.org//images/332/b6a6f57f8f9f7c977d879868c2e050b4a0791c16.jpg?331491]The Fourth Rozen Maiden[/url] [*][b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] Souseiseki is a very serious girl. As a Rozen Maiden, she follows the word of her medium to the letter, and there is little in the world that can sway her from this duty. However, if one thing were to come close, enough to make her hesitate, enough to reach her even in a dark moment, it would be her bond with her twin sister, Suiseiseki. Souseiseki does dearly love her elder twin, but the fact is that in spite of being the younger of the two sisters she is quite clearly the more mature of the two, at least in most situations. She is willing to fight, even if she does not enjoy it, and she dislikes lying. There has only been one lie she has ever spoken, and it is not an act she ever intends to repeat. Of course, her serious attitude isn't totally lacking any sort of humor, even if the rare more humorous comments Souseiseki makes are usually delivered in a rather flat fashion. In spite of being ruthless fighter, she is a rather kindhearted girl deep down who does not like to see others suffer. Souseiseki has a boyish look, and she does not mind being mistaken for a male doll, as evidenced by her more masculine form of dress and the useage of more masculine pronouns. It's likely she would not take well to being made to dress in a feminine fashion due to being totally unused to it. She is reluctant to harm humans, as that is not the purpose Rozen Maidens were created for, but will do so if given no choice or if ordered to by her medium. Finally, Souseiseki lacks knowledge of certain, more intimate subjects. As a result, she is completely unaware of the fact that talking about, for example, having her body built may come off as incredibly inappropriate and awkward. It's likely best not to tell her how this sounds. [*][b][u]Brief History:[/u][/b] Souseiseki is the fourth Rozen Maiden, created by Rozen as Suiseiseki's twin, in order to compete in the Alice Game. Their Father's intent was to enforce a battle in which only one of the seven dolls can become 'Alice' by killing the others, though that has stalled in some ways. As of now, Souseiseki has been reunited with her sister, but things are about to change for her once again... [*][b][u]Universe of Origin:[/u][/b] Rozen Maiden [*][b][u]Equipment:[/u][/b] Souseiseki utilizes a pair of golden garden shears, which are quite large when compared to her own body(though of average size to a human). While their chief function is to be utilized to allow her to cut souls and memories, they can also be used as a melee weapon, similarly to a sword. While not a piece of equipment, she is accompanied by her artificial spirit, Lempicka, who allows her to summon her shears. Finally, she has her case, which is where she sleeps. She will attempt to synchronize her sleeping patterns with her medium's, but if they make a habit of staying up very late this is unlikely to work well. [*][b][u]Abilities:[/u][/b] To begin with, a Rozen Maiden requires a medium to utilize the full capabilities of their power. By attaching herself to the consciousness of a medium, Souseiseki is capable of utilizing far more power then she would otherwise, and of fighting properly. By using her golden shears, Souseiseki can cut through such abstractions as souls and memories. With a medium, she can do this outside of the target's dream, but without one she may only manifest her shears and her power within such dream. While she is within the dream world, the soul of the dreamer manifests as a tree. By cutting away at its branches, she can alleviate them of trauma, but if she cuts all of them they begin to lose their memories. She can even damage the soul directly in such manner. With a medium, any Rozen Maiden also becomes physically strong enough to threaten a full-sized human being, meaning Souseiseki's abilities become far more dangerous, and her very small size becomes an asset if she is forced to fight. In spite of Souseiseki's potent capabilities, it is only in conjunction with her beloved twin sister that she is capable of using the full power of the shears and watering can to heal or destroy a soul. Normally, she would be capable of accessing a world between worlds known as the N-field, but that appears to be impossible currently.
