[hider=An ordinary young girl][list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Imarui, or Ima for short
[*][u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 10
[*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female
[*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [url=https://www.deviantart.com/vitavitaar/art/Imarui-872882572]A small, slight little girl with pale blue, almost silver eyes and silvery hair. She has pale skin and her clothing is largely tan in coloration.[/url]
[*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Imarui is an endlessly inquisitive young girl who seems to largely possess little in the way of fear. This isn't to say she is completely lacking in caution, as even a young artifact hunter will quickly come to understand you need to be at least somewhat cautious at the potential expense of their own life, but her ability to ignore her own fear and press onwards is what fuels her ability to explore. Indeed, Imarui has a reputation among the children of Hensia for being the first among them to go exploring any new and exciting locations found around the settlement. An enthusiastic and cheerful child, in spite of her lack of a family Imarui has a bright and friendly outward approach to others, and is quite eager to meet hunters and all kinds of other people from outside of her hometown. That being said, this sunny disposition is not the sum total of her character. Her curiosity and boundless desire to explore is born in part from her desire to learn about her family. She is also deeply protective of her necklace, given that it is the only thing she has from her family, and thus is quite unwilling to share its secret. Deep down, Imarui feels some jealousy towards those who have gotten to grow up with their families, even if she tries not to show it. When upset, she is prone to recklessness, forgetting her own sense of caution and trying to explore to cheer herself up. Willing to do anything to learn more about her family, there's no doubt Imarui would be swift to follow even the slightest potential trace of them.
[*][u][b]Brief Backstory:[/b][/u] Imarui arrived at the Hensia orphanage courteously of what can only be presumed to be her mother. A beautiful, almost ethereal woman who had appeared as an artifact hunter from Navra suddenly dropped off a bundle at their doorstep, and departed just as quickly as she seemed to appear. On investigation, the bundle was a newborn baby, with a note attached to her blanket simply reading "Please take care of Imarui" and a necklace with a blue gemstone inlaid in it. It was here she was raised, and came to be a part of Hensia's young artifact hunters. Located near an old city with an almost infinite number of deep tunnels beneath it, Hensia's population is distinct in its high number of artifact hunters. It also has some of the youngest artifact hunters, in spite of the danger inherent in the profession. Artifact hunting is viewed with considerable reverence in Hensia, and therefore in spite of the danger and her young age a combination of this reverence and Imarui's own adventurous nature spurred her to throw herself into it. Besides, if her mother was an artifact hunter, maybe she could learn more about her by doing it herself? It was quite quickly that Imarui discovered the properties of her necklace. That it could detect artifacts and guide her to them. Amazed by this, but fearful that it would be classed as an artifact and taken away from her if she told anyone, Imarui has kept it a secret ever since she first learned about it. Not only is it her only link to her mother, but perhaps it will let her discover something that could lead her to learn more...
[*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] Imarui has a high level of energy and is good at climbing and squeezing into small spaces. She is also fairly knowledgeable about local flora and fauna around Hensia, as any artifact hunter in the area should be to avoid tragic circumstances. She's capable at running and hiding, but her only self-defense abilities beyond that are knowing how to stab things with her small knife.
[*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] Imarui is an ordinary ten-year-old girl in capabilities. She does not know magic nor does she possess any supernatural strength in any way.
[*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Imarui carries with her a back full of basic supplies for an artifact hunter. Food, water, a few small knives and excavation tools, and flares. She also carries her Hensia Artifact Hunter's League badge. Most important, however, is her necklace. Not only is it the only thing connecting her to her family, but it is also an artifact in itself. A strange type, nameless as it was never registered with the auction house, it seems to function only by detecting other artifacts and guiding the user to them with a shaft of light. This is the only ability Imarui knows it has.
[*][u][b]Faction:[/b][/u] Hensia Artifact Hunter's League, the guild which all local hunters work out of.[/list][/hider]
