Kuni is 1.8 meters tall, or 5"9 foot. She weighs about 68 kg, or 149 pounds. Her hair is brown, though it may appear as dark brown under darkness. Her eyes are probably the most interesting part about her, as they can appear to be both green and blue. Those who get to have a close look at her eyes can see that they are actually green, with an inner ring in her iris being blue.

[color=1589FF][b]• Bio •[/b][/color] 
Being born into the Durant family, Kuni's childhood was a particularly uneventful one. She was raised under the shadows of constantly being told of how her family was one of the greater innovator families back at the 19th century, when her great-grandfather's father helped form a car company. While this made her want to stand out less, it did invigorate her interest in engineering, and she started studying everything she could about machines from the age of six. 

At the age of 9, she already showed quite high engineering capabilities when she constructed her own drone, one that successfully flied above the city they lived in, and made a safe return back. It did not survive a second flight due to an accident with a bird, but Kuni already felt quite fulfilled and happy with her achievement. She began making different drones, each one making her happy as she finished them and successfully tested them.

When she got to the age of 13, and she entered the 8th grade, Kuni began experiencing difficulties in her school. People did not understand why she was so focused on making silly toys, when the world was still dealing with the aliens. A few students had decided to prank her and got a hold of a few of her drones, and made a mess of them all. This hurt Kuni, who decided she didn't need the support or approval of the other students. All she needed was to keep herself focused on her engineering hobbies, but it was hard with the noise that came from all around. 

Eventually, before she turned 14, Kuni found her shelter in music, and she started listening to music whenever she went outside of their house, and while at school. Her favorite types were orchestra pieces, as the way all of the instruments came together reminded her of how a well built engine can run if everything finds its right place.

When she turned 16, the bullying at the school had gotten worse, and her parents decided to move to Japan in order to try and help her find a new place to study at, one where she could have some peace. They also felt that she would be able to prosper there, as they felt Japan was quite advanced in the engineering department.

At the age of 17, she had received an offer to join the 2nd Tactical Arts Academy, as she apparently performed well during the National Center Test. While her parents were reluctant, Kuni convinced them to let her go there, as she felt that not only will she be able to help with the remainder of the fighting against the aliens, but she hoped that perhaps, she could help advance the tech they used to fight the invaders to a new level.

[hr][color=1589FF][b]• Armament •[/b][/color] 
Kuni's armament comes in the shape of an offensive drone, which she dubbed Dee. It comes equipped with a pair of medium scaled laser blasters, and a small camera. Due to the weight that comes from the laser blasters and the camera, the drone normally does not hover too far off the ground, up to a maximum of 20 meters. Thanks to the camera, Kuni is capable of aiding her team by controlling the drone and scouting with it, beyond the normal capabilities of a Linker.

Dee has a secret compartment, one which can be accessed by anyone who knows how to open it. It can be used to store and hide things that can be deemed as things that need to be retrieved, but better to leave somewhere that won't be on the team. The compartment can store things that are about the size of 2 pistols that are side by side.

In order to give herself protection, Kuni has a small laser pistol on her person, which she was trained to use.

Kuni has the ability to make things and people hover, up to a few meters off the ground. The bigger the object or person, the more she needs to concentrate on making them hover. Whenever she makes something or someone hover, they gain a bluish aura around them. In order to make anything or anyone hover, she needs to see the object or person, and she cannot keep something hovering for an extended period of time (A minute at most, for hovering a person that weighs as much as her.)

She can control where the people or objects hover to, but the more things or people she makes hover, the less control she has. And if she reaches her limit, then everything and everyone will drop immediately, without any warning. Finally, she can only control the speed of the hover if she concentrates on a single thing or person. Any more, and everything that hovers will be hovering as a relatively slow speed.

~ While Dee is her combat-ready drone, Kuni also has a smaller drone, Mio, one that is pocket sized. It also has a camera equipped, but no weapons, and it also has a VI installed on it. Kuni normally keeps the knowledge of it to herself, and takes it out whenever she feels like having some company, but not human company.

~ Kuni will normally have headphones on her person, and typically covering her ears or in her ears, depending on the type. It's how she learned to avoid contact with people. It does not mean she always listens to music.

~ As a prodigy engineer, Kuni has an eye for any kind of tech, always wanting to take things apart and see how they work. The bigger they are, the more attractive they will seem for her.

[hider=Sample Post]
It was rather late at night, and the garage at the Durant household still had its lights on. No sounds were heard from it, but the light that peeked out was bright enough to make anyone who passed by squint their eyes. It was about as bright as a spotlight, and there was a good reason for it. 

It was a spotlight.

Kuni, in her work clothes, kept her back to the spotlight and eyes focused on the vehicle engine that was completely exposed to her. Once more leaning in, she reached deep into the hood and made sure the grip of a pair of bolts was as tight as could be. Once she was satisfied with those, she backed up and looked at the rest of the engine. From what she could tell, after six hours of working on it, everything was finally where it should be, and the mess with the oil pipes was taken care of. Smiling, she turned to the spotlight, and quickly shut down the bright light.

As if that was the cue, the door from the kitchen to the garage opened, and Kuni's dad, David, stepped inside. He placed a tray with two cups of orange juice on the workshop table, before turning his attention to the car engine. After inspecting it a bit, David turned to look at his daughter "So, is it good to go?"

[color=1589FF]"It's in better condition than it was before you asked me to look at it."[/color] Kuni responded, going to the table and grabbing one of the cups of juice. She quickly gulped it down, and then put the cup back on the tray [color=1589FF]"Tell mom I said thanks. I'm gonna go take a shower now and then head to bed."[/color] 

Nodding to her, David turned back to the car, clearly admiring the work of his daughter. Leaving the garage, Kuni would go through the pre-sleep routine rather quickly. When she finally sat on her bed, Kuni opened her bedside drawer [color=1589FF]"Psst. Mio."[/color]

A little drone, one that could fit on the palm of her hand, came flying out of the drawer. It started hovering in front of Kuni's face, and offered a couple of beeps as a respond. Kuni put her hand forward, and the little drone landed on her palm [color=1589FF]"Tomorrow is the big day. I'm finally going to The 2nd Tactical Arts Academy! I'm really excited. I hope they will be impressed with Dee. I heard that there is some usage to drones, so hopefully they will let me use him."[/color]

The little drone offered a beep.

[color=1589FF]"I won't be leaving you behind. So don't you worry your little VI mind about that. Alright, back into the charging station you go. I want you fully charged for the big day tomorrow."[/color] Kuni reassured the drone.

Mio offered three fast-paced beeps, before flying off her hand and back into the drawer, which Kuni was quick to close. Getting into bed, Kuni closed her eyes and kept hoping for the best.
