Just wanted to get this up as soon as possible. I'll probably go over it again later, but let me know what you think! [hider=Kuri] [center][h2]Kuri[/h2] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/29/22/a5/2922a5faf30e83d623d44fb819c6f457--anime-warrior-monster-girl.jpg[/img] [sub]"Thanks for the breaaaaad![/sub][/center] [b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 21 [b][u]Race: [/u][/b]Half-elf [b][u]Origin: [/u][/b] The Imperium/Eroammir [b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] A bright-eyed girl with a mischievous smile, Kuri is almost the spitting image of her mother. With only a set of barely pointed ears to show for her elven heritage, she could pass as a full-blooded human almost anywhere on the continent. Her amber eyes are highlighted with a light wash of eyeshadow, and long black hair is either freely let down or pulled back into a high ponytail. She prefers outfits that don't get in the way and allow her as much flexibility as possible; her clothes are plain and usually at least a little dirty after a day of running around in the city. A belt around her waist holds most of her smaller items, while straps on her back carry her spear and short-bow. In a pocket on the inside of her belt, she stores a single ring passed down from her mother. Kuri is always accompanied by a-- particularly friendly wolf? really big dog? She's honestly not too sure. Nevertheless, Kuma, a large white canine with a weight of around 90 kg and a height of 1.1 meters, serves as the intimidation factor a young girl like her lacks. [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] Cheery, lighthearted, and at times immature, Kuri just loves life! Preferring to go with the flow, Kuri is the type to never think too far ahead. It's much more fun to just live as life comes! She loves talking to people--especially cute ones. Anyone who starts up a conversation should expect to be greeted by a bright smile and a personalized nickname the next time they meet. Kuri has a unique but surprisingly innocent sense of humour, and will often subject the people around her to little pranks that really only she finds funny. Has a weakness for money, beautiful people, and good food. [b][u]History:[/u][/b] Born in The Imperium from an illicit relationship between an elven mage and his human student, Kuri knew that she would never quite be able to fit into the pompous society around her. Her father, a notable professor at the University, could not afford the social costs that came with having a half-bred child, and left almost as soon as she was born. Her mother, an ambitious student with an interest in the lost, spent her days researching tirelessly in hopes of finding some scrap of information about the forbidden magics of Rituals and electromancy. As such, the girl spent her childhood days in almost complete freedom-- during the day, she loved to explore the busy winding streets of the historical city, while at night, she learned the arts of elementalism and warding from her mother's well-stocked collection of texts. When she was 14 years old, the family of two moved to Eroammir. Her mother had heard of the existence of a group of scholars there who secretly worked to find the secrets that the elves so desperately wanted to keep hidden. From then on, Astrid spent less and less time at home, until one day, she never returned. Her first love had always been magic. While her absence didn't seem to take much of an emotional toll on Kuri, the lack of any sort of authority figure would eventually lead her to trouble. On the streets, she realized that her natural talent at sleight of hand could be used to steal. At the age of 17, after years of getting away with thievery and general mischief, she grew too bold and was finally caught. A young able-bodied girl, she was sentenced to a lifetime of fighting in the Pits.
