[color=darkgray][INDENT]Cerise is of fair complexion, possessing short near-white hair with a faint tint of rosy hue that is usually adorned with a simple dark hued headband which contrasted well with her hair. A calm expression with a soft smile most often graced her face, showing an innocence that remained despite the world she now lives in. Standing at 153cm(5 feet) tall, her figure is slender and thin, a result of both being turned into a Revenant in her teenage years and due to a certain other cause back when she were still a human. The most unusual of her facial features are her eyes; a case of heterochromia with her left eye being light green and her right eye light blue.

During downtime she prefers to wear long-sleeved shirts which are topped with a loose-fitting dress and then covered further with a significantly oversized dress coat as her tops, and simple skirts for bottom. These clothing are often old and worn, salvaged ones that are damaged but otherwise still functional. A pair of long below-knees socks and a pair of comfortable shoes completes her ensemble.

In action, a sturdier get-up covers her body. Thick, dark-hued long-sleeved sweater topped with thicker still military style coat protects her from the elements without restricting her freedom of movements. Her mask, an essential part of this set of "mission" outfit, is of simple functional design and is lightweight, colored black with red lines and logo of the same tint as the color of her glowing red eyes when engaging her blood power.[/INDENT][/color]

[color=#DE3163][B]|  PERSONALITY  |[/B][/color]
[color=darkgray][INDENT][b]Calm・Docile・Emphatic・Trusting・Warm[/b]

A calm girl with a warm demeanor, Cerise is one of those individuals who retained a significant degree of positivity despite the horrible state of the world. She continues to believe that there is hope yet for a peaceful world where people no longer need to live in fear of a constant and ever present threat, and that this can be achieved so long as people cooperated with and trust each other. It is natural then that her disposition is that of care, trust, and warmth toward her fellow survivors whom she sees as dear comrades to support each other with.

On the flip side, this naturally warm disposition came with a kind of docility and almost unbearable innocence. She is unlikely to argue with others, believing that she should not force her opinions and thoughts on others, even when it is actually better to debate and argue for her sake or others or both. At the extreme, some people might see her as someone who cannot stand up to her own principles due to how easily she backs down from arguments. Furthermore, her tendency to trust can backfire badly, as there are of course people that really should not be trusted.[/INDENT][/color]

[color=#DE3163][B]|  BLOOD TYPE  |[/B][/color]
[color=darkgray][INDENT][b]Type B - Arachne[/b]
A very significant part of her repertoire of abilities that made up for her rather low raw physical capabilities for a Revenant, Cerise's control over her blood power is on the higher side of the scale; not in anyway perfect and with rooms for growth but also not to be underestimated. The speed upon which she is able to turn into shadowy tendrils to disappear is higher than average, matched by the high accuracy of reappearing exactly where she wanted to. The distance upon which she is able to perform this teleportation, while remaining short, is also higher than average. Furthermore, she is able to use her shadowy tendrils to attach herself to most solid surfaces. This allowed her to reappear in unusual places such as upside down on a ceiling or hanging with her back attached to a wall, greatly complimenting her ability as a scout and sharpshooter.

The signature energy color of her blood power is [color=#DE3163]Cerise[/color], just like her current name.

[color=#DE3163][B]|  BACKGROUND  |[/B][/color]
[color=darkgray][INDENT]Little remained of the memories that made up Cerise's past. Even her current name was something that she took on sometime after becoming a Revenant, her birth name unknown to even herself. What she were able to recall of her past came in fleeting fragments, as if pieces of a puzzle that were waiting to be made whole yet remaining impossible due to the numerous missing pieces.

Images. Studying alone inside a room. Holding hands with smiling figures. Setting sun across the far horizon. Falling leaves in Autumn. A plain hospital room covered in the light of dusk. A stern faced man in a white coat. Machinery. Dozens of medicine bottles. Plain white ceiling. The previous smiling figures, now crying. Bloodied bed sheets. A dark hospital room. The white ceiling, ruined. Blinding bright lights | Scents. Faint fragrance of cherry blossoms. Aroma of kitchen spices. Sweet scent of sugar. Sterile odor of a hospital. Artificial smell of medicines. Metallic tang of blood. Stench of the dying | Sounds. The chirping of little birds. Bright laughter of a girl. A train passing through on its rails. Gentle breeze of wind. Mechanical beeping. Drops of rain hitting a window. Sorrowful crying. Mechanical whirring. Horror filled screams. Booming explosion. Liquid dripping on solid surface. Soft mumbled whispers.

Even the memories of her early time as a Revenant were nothing more than blurs for her. She couldn't remember exactly when and where she awakened as one of the living dead. Still, regardless of all her lost memories, Cerise convinced herself that it didn't matter. She resolved that it were the present and the future that needed caring. Despite the dark and bleak world, there remained hope that the world can be fixed. Much of it might be fragmented and blurry, but she can clearly remember that for many years, she had remained on the move. Always in the company of others, supporting and helping each other in the struggle to survive and to rebuild what can be rebuilt. Thus, she believed that she needed to continue doing so. Who she really were in the past doesn't have any effect on the things that she were able to do to survive and build a better future for herself and her comrades.

Yet, was that really the truth? Deep down, under all the optimism and positivity, there were fear and dread. The girl who called herself Cerise was in reality frightened of her own lost memories. One day, if the puzzle ever become complete, would she really remain the same person? If the fragments were gathered and became whole, what will be waiting for her? In the end, were everything that she had done nothing more than distraction? A way for her to run away from the unknown still waiting for her? She cannot help but fear it. Every time she recalled of the images, the scents, and the sounds, nothing ever came out of it.

Nothing, except for the crushing pain grasping at her heart.[/INDENT][/color]

[color=#DE3163][B]|  SKILLS / EQUIPMENT |[/B][/color]
[color=darkgray][INDENT][b]SKILLS:[/b]
・Scouting: Cerise had developed significant capabilities in scouting and stealth owing to her many years of experience in fleeing from dangers, remaining hidden, scavenging, identifying potential threats or supplies, analyzing terrains and routes, spotting unusual details, and properly keeping information on all of it.
・Sharpshooting & Spotting: Cerise's preferred method of engagement when combat is unavoidable is to provide long ranged support for her allies, making up for her lower physical capabilities for a Revenant and her lack of any significant close combat capabilities. Developed to a rather high level, Cerise is capable of providing support not only by sniping and eliminating crucial targets, but also by spotting incoming threats and accordingly alerting her comrades of their presence.
・Shrink: Due to her empathic and warm personality, Cerise made for a naturally capable psychological shrink despite having no formal training in it. She is always ready to provide a shoulder to lean on and ears to patiently listen to the worries and fears of her friends and allies without judgment.

[b]EQUIPMENT:[/b]
・Lariat: Cerise's weapon. A long scoped rifle fitted with a blade under the muzzle, Lariat packs a lot of punch with each shot to compensate for its slow rate of fire. In the hands of a capable sharpshooter like Cerise, it is potentially capable of eliminating targets as far as 900 meters away. As for the blade, it was made not for the purpose of eliminating hostiles, but rather to keep them at bay and to give Cerise a better chance in withdrawing from close ranged engagements.

・Mask: Simple and lightweight, Cerise's mask provides her with the standard functions of a Revenant's purifier mask, mainly to protect her from the harmful effects of the Lost's miasma.

[color=#DE3163][B]|  LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES  |[/B][/color]
[color=darkgray][INDENT]・Low Physical Capabilities: Cerise possessed below average strength and vitality for a Revenant. While she remains somewhat stronger and can endure more damage than a human, she is unlikely to win any contest in those aspects against even just the average Revenant. Furthermore, her stamina and agility are also only average for a Revenant, thus her great reliance on her blood power when driven into a pinch.
・Low Close Combat Capabilities: Low physical capabilities alone can be compensated by possessing superior skills. For example, a slower and weaker swords master is still going to easily outperform and defeat a faster and stronger swords newbie. Alas, Cerise possessed no such skill, making her ineffective in close quarter combat.
・Docile: Her docile nature can be a significant disadvantage in crucial situations. This great aversion towards argument and debate comes with the risk of letting go of her ideas even when she knows that doing so can be detrimental to herself and her comrades.
・Trusting: Her tendency to easily trust others is an easy path for unsavory individuals to exploit and take advantage of her otherwise affable nature.

[color=darkgray][indent]・Personal Color Code: [color=#DE3163]#DE3163[/color]
・As a hobby, she enjoyed taking care of animals and plants.
・Can play the piano rather well, even though she don't remember why or how.
・Despite her positive and warm nature, she still have her limits and can be quite unforgiving towards those that intentionally harmed the people she cares about.[/indent][/color][/hider]
