[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.
[/INDENT][/color]

[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.
[/INDENT][/color]

[color=#DE3163][b]|  NOTES  |[/b][/color]
[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]

[color=gray][center][b]Role in the team: [color=#DE3163]The Scout with the Rose-Tinted Lens[/color][/b]

💔 [i]The person managed to make Cerise really dislike them. [s]Impressive[/s][/i]
♥️🤍🤍🤍 [i]Cerise isn't quite sure what to think of the person. I wonder what they did?[/i]
♥️♥️🤍🤍 [i]Cerise thinks nicely of the person[/i]
♥️♥️♥️🤍 [i]Cerise thinks of the person as a precious friend[/i]
♥️♥️♥️♥️ [i]Cerise loves the person like family[/i] 
❤️‍🔥 [i]Cerise absolutely adores the person. She can't remember ever feeling like that before[/i] 
[center]
[h3][color=Indianred][i]Erik[/i][/color][/h3] ♥️♥️♥️♥️
[i]"What's not to like about Erik, really? Whenever I'm feeling down, he's always there to cheer me up with a big warm smile on his face. Things around here would be much less bright without him around. He's just so inspiring and awesome, hehe... Yes, just like a really dependable big brother."

With a relationship of over nine years and a shared penchant for optimism and kindness, Erik is currently one of the people Cerise feels the closest to among her comrades. She think of Erik as if he's an older brother, someone to both look up to and give her support to wholeheartedly. She pretty much trusts him completely as someone with the group's best interest at heart, and thus someone whom well being she in turn must look after to the best of her abilities.

Additionally, they also synergized well with one another due to some shared skills that they possessed in scavenging, scouting, and using long range weaponry. The many scavenging and scouting missions that they've went to together over the years are among the most memorable memories in Cerise's mind.[/i] 

[h3][color=Indianred][I]Dallas[/i][/color][/h3] ♥️♥️♥️🤍
[i]"Dallas is really, really brave. Maybe a bit [b]too[/b] brave, at times, and that often worries me. Still, I know he acts that way out of wanting to keep us all safe, and that's really admirable. I guess I'll just have to keep doing my best to keep him safe in turn!"

While Dallas is one of the newer members of the group, Cerise is quick to regard him based on his positive qualities. His bravery and his protective instincts in particular are qualities that Cerise look upon on as admirable, and she sees the negative aspects that came with them as things that shouldn't in anyway be put against him. From the few times they've been out on the field together, Cerise had quickly learnt to keep an eye out for when Dallas might charge forward dangerously, upon which she will make it a mission to assure of his safety.[/i]

[h3][color=Indianred][I]Ionna[/i][/color][/h3] ♥️♥️🤍🤍
[i]"Such liveliness! She's so full of energy, and I do think that we really need more of that around here, hehe. I'm so glad she found us and decided to join us."

Despite Ionna's newness to the group, Cerise soon enough found a fondness for the even-more-petite girl. Cerise likes Ionna's liveliness and energy, in addition to the silver haired girl's positive vision of the future that is similar to Cerise's own vision. That Ionna has a pet crow just like Akaia's Licorice also adds to Cerise's positive image of the girl due to Cerise's fondness of animals and her naive thinking that people who is taking care of animals cannot possibly be bad individuals.[/i]

[h3][color=Indianred][I]Ajax[/i][/color][/h3] ♥️♥️♥️♥️
[i]"Scary? Hmmmmm. No, not at all, I'm not sure why you'd think that. Ajax is a very good person. Yes, sometimes he would silently pull me away when I'm talking with someone, and then he'll tell me not to humor people like those, and I don't always agree... But I know he's doing it because he care, so I really appreciate it regardless. Anyway! I think he's a very wonderful person, hehe."

Like with Erik, Ajax is also one of the persons that Cerise feels closest to within the group. Also like with Erik, this is partially due to the fact that they've been working and living with each other for nearly a decade now. Ajax not particularly being the friendliest type like Erik is doesn't really affect Cerise's image of him. To her, he's a delightful individual that she respects and adores very much, and she loves spending time with him. When they do spend time together, it is often a moment of bonding through arts or casual marksmanship. Cerise would at times teach Ajax about playing the piano while in turn asking him to teach her to draw, and they also sometimes make use of the darts board in the Great Room.

Even after all their time together, Cerise's naivety caused it to be difficult for her to really understand it when Ajax protected her from those who would take advantage of her(exactly because of said naivety). That said, she very much believes that he's doing it for her sake, and thus rarely ever questioned it when it happened.[/i]

[h3][color=Olivedrab][I]Akaia[/i][/color][/h3] ♥️♥️♥️♥️
[i]"Akaia and I have known each other for a very long time now, and I love her very much, like a sister. We're even sharing a room, and that's probably the best decision ever. I used to feel lonely all by myself in that room, haha. And to think it all started by chance... If I hadn't went on that scavenging run, we might never have met, so I'm really glad I did!"

Cerise think of Akaia as her closest friend and sister. She was the one that invited Akaia to join the group after the chance meeting that the both of them were involved with roughly 7 years in the past. Since then, their bond had become very strong, nurtured by several things that enabled them to relate well with each other. Among these things are their shared fondness of plants, which were actually what initially caused Akaia to follow Cerise during Cerise's scavenging run back then. Then, their shared skills in scouting meant going on many scouting runs together, cementing the sense of camaraderie between them even more. This factor in particular were also the thing that enabled the two to have a diorama of the city at the center of their shared room, filled and constantly updated with useful notes, pointers, and information that they have gathered about the surrounding area. And then there's also Licorice, Akaia's crow that was given its name by Cerise based on the color [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_black#Licorice]licorice black[/url], which was one of the first things that the two bonded over about.[/i]

[h3][color=Khaki][I]Lysandra[/i][/color][/h3] ♥️♥️♥️🤍
[i]"Lysandra is a conflicted person. Oh no, please don't get me wrong, she's a good person for sure. I just think that she find it difficult to be honest with her own feelings? I don't know the reason. What I do know is that everyone have their own problems and inner struggles. And with Lysandra, these seems to bother her very very much. Of course, I could be wrong, it's just what I feel from her. Nonetheless, I like her a lot."

In Cerise's eyes, Lysandra is a capable comrade that can be relied on to do what she does best. Cerise doesn't mind the at times bossy and harsh ways that Lysandra can be at times because she believes that those were caused not due to Lysandra being a bad person, but because of some kind of psychological struggles. Thus from Cerise's part, she's always willing to lend a helping hand and attentive ears if Lysandra needs her to. After all, Lysandra is one of her precious friend whom well-being very much matters to her.[/i]

[h3][color=Indianred][I]Vincent[/i][/color][/h3] ♥️♥️🤍🤍
[i]"From what I can see so far, Vincent is of the really passionate sort. He seems so confident and eager, and I think those are good things to have. Though, I must say that I'm a bit worried. He, umm... Reminds me of certain other people that used to be... Ehm, no, never mind. I'm looking forward to getting to know him more."

Cerise thinks that Vincent's bombastic characters as good qualities, although also a cause for concern. He naturally reminds her of former friends and comrades that were ultimately no longer around, now honored through the Fallen memorial in the Crows' Nest. Still, she hope that will never happen again, and think that Vincent will do just fine with the group.[/i]

[h3][color=Khaki][I]Desmond[/i][/color][/h3] ♥️♥️🤍🤍
[i]"I was quite surprised when Desmond showed up a while back, along with Amelia with him. I haven't really talked much to him since he seems quite preoccupied with caring for Amelia, but I think he's a good person. After all, someone who cares about their sister that much can't be a bad person, right?"

A brave, capable man who understands his capabilities very well. That is how Cerise thinks of Desmond. Out in the field, she's actually less worried about him than about certain reckless Revenant members of the group, because she feels that Desmond knows not to overextend himself. Additionally, she wholeheartedly believes that a person who is capable of caring so much about their sibling cannot possibly be a bad person, and thus she trusts Desmond despite not knowing much else about him.[/I]

[h3][color=Khaki][I]The One Before "Cerise"[/i][/color][/h3] 💔💔💔💔
[i]"... Who are [b]you[/b]? Why is it that whenever [b]you[/b] surfaced, it hurts so so much? Why won't [b]you[/b] leave [b]me[/b] alone? Why are [b]you[/b] doing this to [b]me[/b]?? Please, please, just stay away from [b]me[/b]. The images... The scents... The sounds... They're all [b]yours[/b], not [b]mine[/b]! [b]I[/b] don't want them! [b]I[/b] don't need any of it! [b]I-I[/b] don't want to turn into [b]you[/b]! Just... Go away! Leave and let [b]me[/b] be [b]me[/b]!"[/I]

[h3][color=Olivedrab][I]Poppy[/i][/color][/h3] ♥️♥️♥️🤍
[i]"The things that Poppy went through before she joined us was quite... Well it was absolutely horrible. We talked about it from time to time. I think it's helping her. And well, I'm just glad that I can help her in anyway at all to cope with it. Nobody deserved to go through such things, and nobody should be alone to deal with the aftermath either..."

Fully aware of Poppy's very harsh experiences before she joined the group, Cerise feels a strong sense of sympathy and empathy towards Poppy, although she doesn't quite understand why she feels the latter so strongly. She helped Poppy adjusts to life in the Crows' Nest back when Poppy just joined.

The biggest thing that presented a problem between their relationship is Poppy's continued resistance to truly opening up, something that is not exclusive to Poppy's relation with Cerise. Regardless, Cerise thinks of Poppy as a friend. And like all other friends, she will always be ready to help, support, and protect Poppy whenever needed, whether Poppy requested it or not.[/i]
