[COLOR=darkgray][quote][sup]The idea of being a Titan had never appealed to Arina. Once upon a time, the thought of being part of something so cheesy made her feel ill… and if she were honest, it still did. Each time she took the trip down memory lane, back to “The Incident” as she referred to it, her mood soured and she silently cursed her siblings for dragging her into this world. If she had it her way, she’d be somewhere far, far from the States, living a quiet, ordinary and comfortable life.  

After taking an afternoon to reckon with the events of her life, she able to look back at the occasions her life had gone up in smoke (no pun intended), and in every minute detail she analysed, she was able to confidently pinpoint the unequivocal moments which acted as the main cataclysms that collectively came to be dubbed “The Incident”.

These were as follows:
⥇ The disastrous reunion between Arina and her traitor twin Sister.
⥇ The re-emergence of her older, and frankly, incredibly rude Brother.
⥇ The disingenuous “invitation” to align with the Faction he had found himself enlisted in.  
⥇ The Faction taking exception to the word “No”.
⥇ A blown up home.
⥇ A three day game of cat and mouse.
⥇ Several incidents in which she lost control of her powers.
⥇ A seven man death toll.
⥇ An unwelcome and incredibly presumptuous third party.
⥇ A stupid robot man (A.K.A Cyborg).
⥇ The biggest insult she’d ever received, in the form of an invitation to join the Titans.
⥇ And finally, in the grandest of paradoxes, her greatest ally and nemesis…
       … The wind.

[quote][sup]Arina’s style is a product of her self-confident and superficial behavior. It doesn’t matter what she’s wearing, she insists on looking her best at all times. If she has to get up hours before training to curl her hair, she will. Thanks to a vast Family fortune, she’s able to spend the ridiculous amounts required to keep up with her habit; the price of the nicest clothes is of no worry to her. Whether it be formal, casual or work, she will wear them. More often than not, she can be seen in casual attire, only wearing the uniform (above) she adopted when joining the Titans. When occasions arist for formal attire she adorns herself in the most extravagant of gowns.

    [i]“The only aspect of her that supersedes her beauty, is her vanity,”[/i] - Pachid Coyotas, Lécuyer Family Secretary.[/sup][/quote]
[quote][sup]She has her Family crest tattooed on her upper left arm and on occasion carries a katana, also carrying her Family Crest, designed into the guard and her family’s motto engraved into the blade.[/sup][/quote]
[quote][sup]Arina has a strong survival instinct and sense of self-sufficiency. She doesn't care much for fighting, it’s not like she doesn’t enjoy the exhilarating magical feeling of violence and war, she’s simply too lazy. She rather opt out of a fight or allow someone to take her place, simply so she doesn’t have to get her own clothes dirty. Trickery is her general game; she’ll first try to talk her way out of a fight before resorting to battle.

She is incredibly perceptive in and out of battle, this makes it easier to find a way to break her opponent down and talk them into losing focus. She watches for slightest changes in body language and facial expressions. Even the smallest twitch of an eyebrow is enough ammunition for her to be able to try and burrow under her opponent's skin. Not only facial twitches, she scans the body for any muscular twitches that could give her an indication of a forthcoming attack, helping her to perhaps avoid taking a hit.

Her small frame lacks overall strength, and in a battle of muscle she’ll ultimately almost always lose; but her small frame however, allows her to be quick, stealthy and agile on her feet. If forced into a fight, she’ll often try to use her agility to wear her opponent down before stepping in to use a blade. Incredibly analytic, she’s incredibly cautious and careful in her movements, her keen reflexes almost always trying to ensure an escape route or dodge by relying on her nimble and flexiable movements.

If a fight is drawn out and there is no escape, she’ll fall back on her skill with knives and swords in the hopes of ending the battle quickly and with as little fuss as possible; not using her smoke abilities unless it’s absolutely necessary. She flat out refuses to use firearms, finding them to be an incredibly rude and impersonal form of battle - if she’s going to fight, she will fight with dignity. A philosophy she’s quick to disregard in her attempts to slink out of the fight at every chance she gets.[/sup][/quote][/color]

From as early as she could remember, Arina was being trained in one way or another.

Her earliest memories are ones of her training in the art of expressing and reading microexpressions. When she was physically able, combat was added to the list, followed closely by the use of blades and knives. It wasn’t until she was twelve that her family put her through their coming of age ritual predicated on activating the Meta-Human gene. After an incredibly traumatic physical and emotional experience she developed an ability which allows her to turn her body (and on occasion, an object or ally she may be touching), either partially or fully, into smoke to serve various supplementary purposes. While in smoke form, she becomes impervious to damage, however if needed, she can still interact with physical objects. She does not have complete control over the ability however, causing her to sometimes transform into smoke without intending to do so.

Below are the details of her ability, its benefits and its drawbacks.
 
[COLOR=lightgray]◼   [b]APPARITION[/b][/COLOR][/SUP]
[quote][sup]The hallmark of Arina’s ability, allows her to turn all or any part of her body into smoke at will. Allowing her to deform, shape and move her body however she desires, along with making her near immune to physical damage. When Arina is struck by a physical attack, she can turn the impacted area to smoke, causing the attack to pass through her and leave her unharmed. Arina then solidifies back into her original form. When struck, part of the smoke she turns into can also split from her body and be manipulated, for example, making a ball of smoke around an enemy’s head to asphyxiate them. If Arina herself physically attacks a target, however, she must remain tangible, therefore leaving her susceptible to physical counterattack. Moreover, she has the ability to transform matter and objects, including living beings, into smoke. Normally when in smoke form if a strong gust of wind or strikes her, Arina’s smokey body would disapate she would die; however, using extra energy and hyperconcentration, she can recombine back together.

[sup][COLOR=lightgray]◼   [b]SMOKE SCREEN[/b][/COLOR][/SUP]
[quote][sup]Arina can convert her body into smoke for any number of purposes, such as infiltrating buildings or sneaking up on targets. She can generate and expel large amounts of her smoke to surround his opponents to detect, trap and/or bind them. Due to smoke being a gas, it has high manoeuvrability and irregular movements, allowing her to easily cover the battlefield in smoke as her opponents try to escape it, being able to detect any movement within the plume of smoke and also easily hide within it. Once her smoke surrounds her enemies, she can increase its density, making it more suffocating and toxic - causing them to suffer from general smoke inhalation. Her smoke form in such an environment allows her to use it to move freely and quickly to any point within. Additionally she is immune to smoke inhalation and can absorb smoke from an area, leaving the air clean to breathe.

[/SUP][/quote]
[sup][COLOR=lightgray]◼   [b]OXIDISING POSESSION[/b][/COLOR][/SUP]
[quote][sup]Arina is able to enter an enemy through their nostrils and mouth. Once inside, she targets muscles, organs, nerves, blood, and even their abilities can become an extension of her will, essentially it becomes a new body for her. While in this state, Arina can talk through and experience everything the target does. Alternatively, she can torture the person from the inside, acting as a means of interrogation, possibly even kill them. She can, using their energy, use any ability the host is capable of. She can communicate with the host and relinquish control at any time without leaving the host body, meaning she can remain hidden inside a host indefinitely. The ability can also be used offensively by entering the opponent’s body to deoxidise them from inside.

[/SUP][/quote]
[sup][COLOR=lightgray]◼   [b]SMOKE ATTACKS[/b][/COLOR][/SUP]
[quote][sup]Arina can create silhouettes made of smoke - in the most used example of this, she replaces her own body with smoke silhouette the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was dodged by transforming into smoke and passing through them. From this, the Arina can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the area. The smoke that replaces the Arina's position has the same quality, density, and shape as if the she had just become smoke. When it is hit it explodes outward into a three yard radius of smoke, breathing in this smoke causes coughing, watery itchy eyes, and skin irritation. Additionally she can unleash a continuous stream of smoke from her hands, shaping the smoke into the form of a dragon; its primary objective is to envelop and suffocate the target.

[/SUP][/quote]
[sup][COLOR=lightgray]◼   [b]MISCELLANEOUS ABILITIES[/b][/COLOR][/SUP]
[quote][sup]Arina was educated from a very young age on how the brain works (specifically human psychology). She has a deep insight into human behavior and motivation. She also has exceptional body language reading skills, as well as learning how to perform in order to be the ideal person in any given situation. Outwardly, she can exude confidence, keep a calm demeanor, and speak in a way that appeals to the target’s emotional sensitivities. She trained for years in the act of being able to know other peoples’ minds, experiences, and preferences. She has developed heightened powers of observation and exceptional body language reading skills, which allow her to deduce things about others that surprise them, leaving many to believe some sort of psychic ability is involved. She has exceptional control over her facial expressions and is very aware of her emotions, body language and what it conveys. She is able to mask certain “tells” that go along with lying (fidgeting, changing the topic, rushed speech, deflecting and denial, etc...).

She maintains a heightened awareness that gives her the ability to sense threats so she can prepare for an attack by moving to avoid a blow. While she is charismatic, often using verbal techniques to de-escalate a violent situation, preventing the fight all together; she is profficient in a mix of defensive and offensive techniques to minimize physical harm done to herself. As a branch of her combat training, she learned to be proficient with knives and a katana.

[COLOR=lightgray]◼   [b]COUNTERS[/b][/COLOR][/SUP]
[quote][sup]Due to Arina’s smoke body, she exhibits weakness against water and wind-based abilities. If she has the energy she can generally use her enhanced apparition against powerful wind abilities, but she is completely unable to change into her smoke form due to the danger it presents; additionally she cannot reform unless the conditions are safe. High wind, or wind attacks can cause her smoke form to dissipate which would result in death. High wind hitting the smoke silhouettes will instantly disapate them. Rain can cause the smoke that makes up the smoke swarm to clear. As smoke is dissolved when it comes into contact with water, Arina's abilities are incredibly weak against water-based attacks; in some situations, they can be life threatening. When trying to pass through solid objects, electricity can bridge the molecules in phasing, potentially harming her.[/SUP][/quote]
[SUP][COLOR=lightgray]◼   [b]EMOTIONAL FACTORS[/b][/COLOR][/SUP]
[quote][sup]When in smoke form, it can be unstable. If concentration is not maintained she could accidentally disperse the smoke potentially resulting in death. Control, discipline, and restraint are extremely important. Unconscious, emotion-influenced, impulsive, or reckless use of her abilities can be catastrophic. Jump scares and other sudden changes of emotion can cause Arina to instinctively turn to smoke.[/SUP][/quote]
[SUP][COLOR=lightgray]◼   [b]PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS[/b][/COLOR][/SUP]
[quote][sup]Arina may be exhausted when too much energy is used. There's a limit for how far her smoke screen can be spread (ten yards high, one-hundred yards away from initial use); additionally, if her abilities are unstable, she may lose track of who is an enemy in the smoke screen and who is not - this could cause her to accidentially suffocate an ally. Distance, mass, precision, max power, cab be ubstable, depending on Arina's energy levels and her emotional state. When absorbing smoke, she does not gain energy from smoke she has generated. If Arina is exhausted, she may not be able to turn an ally to smoke along with her, leaving them vulnerable to physical attacks. When turning allies (and objects) to smoke, she requires constant contact with the object/person to prevent it from returning to its normal form. When posessing, if the host resists her too much, she will be ejected from the body. She cannot pass through solid objects that are air tight.[/SUP][/quote]
[SUP][COLOR=lightgray]◼   [b]DANGERS[/b][/COLOR][/SUP]
[quote][sup]During posession, if the host dies, so does she. Deoending on Arina's energy levels, her emotional state and the resistance of her host, she could accidentially lose control and kill both her host, an in turn, herself. Her ability to turn allies (and objects) to smoke is unstable and unrefined. Attempting under stress or while fatigued poses the threat of losing control and abrubptly returning the target to their original form, or (more likely) she could unintentionally put too much into the ability and accientally overload them, causing them to expand and disperse: killing them. If Arina is not able to revert from her smoke form in sufficient time, she will drain her energy levels entirely, causing her to disperse; killing her.[/SUP][/quote]

Birthed in New York, Arina had invested a lot of her lifestyle volunteering for the "greater cause" or so she was told. The Lécuyer maintained a strong reputation, depicted as incredible wordsmiths; painting colourful lies in the blood of those sacrificed for "the cause". Torn from the womb of their lifeless Mother, she and her twin, Kenna led extremely different lifestyles as well as remote lifestyles - barely having anything to do with one aother, or even their older Brother, Christopher. Each of the  Lécuyer siblinngs were subject to their own specialised training, often kept totally isolated, even their interactions with the maids kept to a minimum.

An incredibly old and noble family, the Lécuyer had a well established and successful mercenary group. Her Father, head of the family, was a cold soldier with the highest expectations for all of his children. According to her order in birth and the Lécuyer family customs, Arina’s role (outside of becoming a soldier to fight in their army) was assist her Brother in fulfilling his duties as the heir to the Lécuyer line. As fist born daughter, she was expected to expand the family’s fortune, influence and wealth through marriage. Groomed and primed to be the perfect wife, she was put through relentless and grim training sessions, learning the art of desire, manipulation and receiving the best education money could buy. Until such time as she was sold off to some arranged political deal, it was her duty to ensure smooth alliances and serve as the pillar of support for her Brother, in and out of field. With values and traditions so antiquated, Arina often questioned whether or not her Father and the Elders realised it was no longer fifteenth century France.  

While other young children played in the field, with sticks or dolls, she spent her hours in a room of mirrors; she spent her hours in a space of glass, surrounded by mirrors, getting to know each and every muscle in her face, and how to manipulate it. For years, she refined the artwork of emotion and expression. She was only permitted to graduate to the next stage in her curriculum, adding combat into the mix, when she was able to maintain a cheerful expression without falter while being beaten within an inch of her life.

All whilst she accelerated her skills, she was subject to merciless and brtutal methods of training.  full of life and nearly merciless strategies of education. In her early teens, she made her debut among the socialites of New York and the upper class of both national and international connections. She need to be versed in most subjects, she needed to be a fluent diplomat; and when being questioned in regards to even the most remote village in the world, it was imperative that she knew it so well, that when she answered the question, it would sound almost as if she were reading it from a book in her hands.

It is a well known fact, the Lécuyer Family gained so much success and power due to the fact they hailed from a repeating line of Meta-Humans. With this in mind, their main goal was to ensure the security and longevity of the Family and the Organisation.

When a Lécuyer child reached the age of Thirteen, they would undergo the Familys "Coming of Age" ritual.  An event where the Meta-Human gene was force activated through a series of incredibly dangerous and grueling experiences that put them through high levels of physical and mental trauma. She barely made it through the ritual alive, and with no time to mentally process what had just taken place or understand her new abilities she was sent to join her siblings in the field.

Any independent thought or disobedience for the Lécuyer was to be slighted out at the first gesture of defiance. Techniques crafted by the Mercenary Faction for the sole use of destroying the spirit of those dared to defy the Lécuyer were eployed by her Father and exercised as correctional styles for Arina and her siblings. This would crush any fabrication of "dreams" and liberated ideals. In the same way a puppet was delicately handcrafted to the creator's desire, Arina was meticulously manufactured to serve the Family's goal, and there was no place for even the slightest derailment.

After the demise of her Father - assassinated by her Brother, Arina was suddenly thrown into what sould have been her Brother's place, as head of her Family and subsequently the next Commander of the Mercenary Faction; two titles she didn’t much care for. She had spent her entire life being moulded into a specific person who was suited for a specific function, only to find herself no longer relevant to that role with ten times the responsibility thrust upon her. She had never envied her Brother, always believing the future mapped out for him was even far more bleak than hers. And now she was in his shoes, with her Sister now set to fulfill a  Arina had been primed for, she felt slightly ill. The one thing she had hated she was now free of; it was slightly sardonic, she thought, that escaping the future she dreaded, she landed herself in an even darker one.

It took her less than two months to throw in the towel, taking a good portion of the Family fortune and riches, she vanished. She grew weary appeasing the Board and the Lécuyer Elders, weary of living a life of murder and waging wars on behalf of the highest bidder and of appeasing the elders. And after a year of living independently and enjoying the luxuries of freedom, what was later labelled "The Lécuyer Incident" shattered her newfound peace.

In short, her twin Sister had sought her help, and while being pursued by their Brother, she led them straight to Arina. After her refusal to join Christopher in his new faction, a three way sibling argument, the complete annihilation of her new home and a three day hunt, in which she was the prey, her lack of control over her abilities had racked up a seven person body count.
In the course of being pursued by their brother, her sister sought her help and she led them straight to Arina. After she refused to join Christopher in his new group, a three way sibling argument, a three day hunt and her inability to control her abilities, fatigue and stress had caused a seven person body count, most of whom were innocent civilans.

She'd never say it, but she was immensely fortunate that Cyborg and Co. arrived at the right time; they drove her Brother and his crew back, forcing a withdwael, before turning on her to make her pay for the unwarranted hurt and destruction she'd caused.

It was then she was dealt the biggest insult she’d ever received: Cyborg gave her an ultimatum, both be a part of the Titans and examine to manipulate her lethal abilities in order to help her to control them; or face the law, taking most of the blame for “The Incident”. Everything in her screamed no, and her pride nearly precipitated her to take delivery of her Brother’s invitation out of pure spite. He gave her a deadline and an address.

She had four months to decide, and she considered at length how long she could run while being hunted by the Titans. The notion of joining a new Faction no better than her Family was no more pleasant. Addtionally, if she were caught, she'd spend the rest of her life locked away with different Meta-Humans with an affinity closer to the darker underworld. So, it was with relctance she appeared at Titans tower at the literal last second of the deadline with an unbelievable amount of suitcases, oil and polish for Cyclops and a book titled "How to Slow Down in Bed" for Flash.[/indent][/COLOR]

When he witnessed the death of Nicéphore Lécuyer and his only male heir, Pachid couldn’t say he hadn’t felt slightly relieved. Nicéphore had ruled over the Lécuyer with such an iron fist, it was often hard to breathe. With the mercenary army at his disposal, it was a widely known fact that the walls within the Lécuyer’s ground had eyes, and there wasn’t a single action that went unknown to him. As the future advisor to the next heir, one thing that often unsettled Pachid (Nicéphore’s cruel and sinister leadership aside) was the knowledge that when the Lécuyer Tyrant did eventually step down… or die… his rebellious, hot shot son would take his place. And while Pachid loved Christopher as if he were his own brother, the idea of a life spent narrowly avoiding major political fallouts because of his arrogant and fearless attitude had always felt like fuel to the already exhausting sickness that coursed through his bloodstream.

Simply serving as the right hand to the Lécuyer Family’s heir was tiring enough, and the knowledge that the rest of his days would be spent cleaning up the messes that had the potential to destroy one of the oldest and most revered Meta-Human Families in existence had often made him wonder if death were an easier choice. Thus it was, on the night that Nicéphore Lécuyer, head of his Family and Leader of the The Sacred Entente along with his only Son (and first born, next heir and second in command to The Sacred Entente) disappeared in exile, a strange feeling of relief flooded through him as he watched Arina, the Princess of the Lécuyer Family, and his new charge, stand over her Father’s body, in a visible state of unease. She was stained in his blood, the only sign of emotion on her features, the trembling of her fists.

In that moment, Pachid felt a sense of hope. Hope that after an era of ironfisted brutality and darkness, some form of normality and peace could take hold within the Family.

His moment of hope, however, quickly turned to bitter taste on his lips, accompanied by a heavy blow to the confidence he held in his own intelligence. As he attempted to help the young Lécuyer Princess navigate her way through the ocean of paperwork, research and revision in order for her to take over, he was slightly dismayed to realise just how alike she and her Brother really were. In fact, the only member in the main branch of the Lécuyer who could be deemed even close to what he’d consider ‘normal’ (at the very least, not unpredictably insane) was not Arina, but her twin Kenna.

The youngest of the twins, much to the misfortune of all who stood under the umbrella of the Lécuyer (along with those affiliated), had the terrible sense to finish the race from her mother's womb moments after Arina; effectively dooming them all to hell and placing a mark on the beginning of The Sacred Entente’s steady decline into complete destruction (in Pachid’s humble opinion).

It hadn’t even been a fortnight and it was an almost daily occurrence that he was met with either a feeling of dismay, disbelief or irritation; sometimes (or often), he was full of all three. As he took the seat in front of her late Father’’s desk, observing the thin Princess before him, his mood was just that. Although, he felt a new emotion that had been added to the cauldron in stomach, bubbling to the surface: anxiety... or panic - he was having trouble trying to figure out which it was. Yet, as he watched Arina fill out a form to transfer an enormous fortune into a personal account, he figured he’d soon find out as each stroke of her pen caused the pit in his stomach to deepen.

[i][colour=#F2F2F2]"When you said you wanted out, Arina, I didn't think you were serious."[/colour][/i]

His tone was blunt and void of emotion and he lazily leaned back, settling into the arms and allowing his body to slide down and she paused for a moment. Her vibrant light sapphire irises flickered up to his royal blue ones and her brow slightly furrowed with confusion as she almost pouted, gazing at Pachid as if he was unable to keep up.

[i][colour=#de184b]"I don’t know what gave you that idea considering, I said, there’s no way I’m going to spend the rest of my days being dictated to by a board of directors who want nothing but power and wealth, and are willing to force me to sacrifice any values or freedom in order to give to them; I’d rather die… so the best course of action for all is my departure.”[/colour][/i]

Pachid raised an eyebrow at the girl, as her over dramatic and seemingly innocent gaze found his own indifferent one, and he noticed it somehow made her eyes look even larger; however, almost as soon as their eyes locked, her entire expression dropped into a blunt deadpan - her eyes losing all the life and vibrancy they had just held,

[i][colour=#de184b]"If you interpreted that as sarcasm, that is entirely your fault - and you have no one to blame other than yourself."[/colour][/i]

She nonchalantly turned her attention back to the task at hand and he blinked twice in confusion at her matter of fact tone before his face scrunching a little as his eyes narrowed ever so slightly.  A silence filled the room as he tried to process the rambling and utter ridiculousness of what he'd just heard. He continued to stare at the paradox of a girl as if it would help him to further understand what was going on in her mind.

He felt frustration flash through his body, putting him on edge, and he inwardly tried to push it back down into the cauldron of uneasiness it had come from.

This girl.

She was on the brink of becoming one of the most powerful political figures in the defence industry. She was Leader of one of the most respected and oldest Families in France and now the States, a role she had only held for a day. Hand in hand with her position in the Family, the highest rank in The Sacred Entente was to be bestowed upon her. The only thing to do in order to attain said power, was be sworn in during the upcoming Ceremony and it would all be official.

However, after reading a travel magazine, she was now about to throw it all away. She hadn’t even taken a moment to stop and think about her actions and the effect they would have on the Family, as well as her. Within the hour of said magazine, she had been in the process of signing away her rank.

And she was doing this all on a whim.

He felt slightly ill as his irises followed the pen which looped around, forming the main section of her signature and a small part of him that hoped this was all some sort of elaborate prank; however, he felt as if he were coming to a dead end. A thought crossed his mind as he rested his chin in his palm, closing his eyes for a moment. She was less hot headed than her Brother and didn’t carry herself with the same arrogance that Christopher did. Despite this, however, she was equally as defiant to the ‘chains’ which bound her to the duties expected of her by the Family. It was painstakingly clear she had absolutely no interest in her new position, nor did she even pretend to care about making it appear as if  she was taking her responsibilities the slightest bit seriously.

Pachid opened his eyes, his serious gaze now fixed on Arina. It was those traits that made her far more dangerous and unruly than her brother. Chris was a hot head, when he felt trapped, he would grow frustrated and rattle his ‘cage’ in anger - metaphorically, and physically. However, at the end of the day, like a bratty child, he could always be talked into the correct course of action, or, be simply and sternly told ‘No’.

Arina, on the other hand, did not have her brother's short temper. On a larger scale than her Brother, didn’t respond well to being dedicated to, by her own Board Members. When it all bubbled down down, her instinctual reaction whenever she felt the chains of Nobility begin to tighten, she would quickly and calmly come up with a solution that not only resulted in her getting exactly what she wanted, but doing so in a way that publicly boosted her popularity and severely impared the other Official Members of her Family and Army, out of pure spite. That realisation caused him to seriously consider bowing out of nobility with a sword to the abdomen and accepting the sweet embrace of death while he could, with his dignity still intact.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][INDENT][sub][sup][sub][h3][b][color=black] R E L A T I O N S H I P   S H E E T[/color]

[QUOTE]She doesn’t know how to feel about Dragonson… he’s either lying about the reason he’s here, or the ones preparing him to rule are idiots… that, or they have more sinister plans for his fate. Due to the way he seems to ooze naivety, she assumes it’s one of the latter. Arina has a hard time understanding how a nation would send a diplomat who has little to no knowledge of the customs and culture of the place he’s been sent to. While she accepts he’s the Prince of his nation, and sending him to establish relationships with those outside his kingdom was an integral part of his education; not schooling him correctly just feels like he’s been set up to fail in his mission of “diplomacy”... or it’s just a blatant insult to the [i]“Land” Nation[/i]… which would be [i]hilarious[/i].

[QUOTE]Arina was vaguely aware of the Thorpe family, and if she were to take a guess, [b][i]Pre-Twelve-Step[/i] Lincoln[/b] would have been a lot of fun. It’s a shame he's so full of self loathing he drowns out what little personality he has left and any hint of the slightest interesting trait with a creepy personally tailored rehab like existence, fit to cure the most unstable junkie. Rehab programs built upon shame and guilt are bound to fail. It’s for that reason she believes him to be a ticking time bomb. She’s unaware of the specific details surrounding the origins of his curse, but he’s surely no more a monster than she. Perhaps she’ll find some respect for him if he ever finds himself, rather than building a false persona upon the foundations of AA. She wonders if he’ll ever understand that no matter the circumstances surrounding the event, it was he who drew the short straw in his altercation with whoever put the curse on him.[quote][/quote][/QUOTE][/INDENT][/COLOR][/CELL][/ROW][/TABLE][table][row][sup][h1][color=2c2c2c][b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/b][right][b]▅▅▅▅▅[/b][/right][/color][/h1][/sup][/row][row][cell][CENTER][SUP]__________________________________[/SUP]

[QUOTE]Before the “orientation” to the Titans, the one rule Arina had given herself (solely to help her abstain from instantly deciding the option of running forever would be a kinder fate) was “no judging” the other members. Get to know them first. Kennedy has really tested her resolve for that rule. “American Dream” Cheerleading Homecoming Princess? Oh… no… she broke her own rule. The girl seems nice enough, and almost to her own disappointment, the only complaint she has with the girl are her powers. Knowing the future, altering the future feels dangerous. Arina has to wonder the extent of the butterfly ripple caused by such an event. How many people have been influenced by a change in the timeline to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Her caution shouldn’t be mistaken for some sense of newfound morality. In all honesty, Arina doesn’t care much, if at all, for the potential lives impacted by the fortune teller. She’s just acutely aware that if such a ripple effect can impact a random person on the other side of the world, it could and most likely will impact her in some negative way at some stage.[/QUOTE][/INDENT][/COLOR][/CELL][/ROW][/TABLE][table][row][sup][h1][color=2c2c2c][b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/b][right][b]▅▅▅▅▅[/b][/right][/color][/h1][/sup][/row][row][cell][CENTER][SUP]__________________________________[/SUP]

His chilled out demeanor makes him easy to be around, and he seems not to find her too “high maintenance”. Testing her luck with his patience, she can often be found flirting with him or causing odd shenanigans. She’s never liked the creepy [i]friendship-conquers-all[/i] team vibe teams like The Titans give off, but something about the way Alex holds himself and his ideals that makes her appreciate his alignment and she can't quite figure out why.[/QUOTE][/INDENT][/COLOR][/CELL][/ROW][/TABLE][table][row][sup][h1][color=2c2c2c][b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/b][right][b]▅▅▅▅▅[/b][/right][/color][/h1][/sup][/row][row][cell][CENTER][SUP]__________________________________[/SUP]

[QUOTE]Another member of the team she is oddly comfortable around, Arina finds Chemaxzord oddly charming. There seems to be a childlike wonder in the... whatever he is... and she feels there's something pure about observing the way he interacts with this world and experiences what it has to offer. Not a lot about him puts her ill at ease, in fact, if she's not annoying Alex, she can probably be found chilling somewhere in the presence of Chemaxzord.[/QUOTE][/INDENT][/COLOR][/CELL][/ROW][/TABLE][table][row][sup][h1][color=2c2c2c][b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/b][right][b]▅▅▅▅▅[/b][/right][/color][/h1][/sup][/row][row][cell][CENTER][SUP]__________________________________[/SUP]

[QUOTE]Truly beautiful abilities wasted on such a foul attitude. On occasion, Arina wonders who would win in an intellectual matchup, but as fast as the thought is conjured up in her mind, it’s cast out again. Arina simply doesn’t care enough to deem the girl worthy of the time it’d take to find the answer.

[QUOTE]Arina has no complaints or qualms about Sarina, it seems Cyborg also blackmailed her onto the team… she’s still unsure if the flame girl sees it that way… She seems to be one of the more mentally balanced members of the team, given the road that led her to the Titans - something Arina respects; the girl seems to accept herself mistakes and all. Arina can emphasize with her over more than just an onboarding story, albeit silently. While Arina has made no effort whatsoever to befriend the girl, Saria is definitely one of the few she bothers to act friendly and engaging towards.[/QUOTE][/INDENT][/COLOR][/CELL][/ROW][/TABLE][table][row][sup][h1][color=2c2c2c][b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/b][right][b]▅▅▅▅▅[/b][/right][/color][/h1][/sup][/row][row][cell][CENTER][SUP]__________________________________[/SUP]

[QUOTE]Another team member Arina can respect. Unlike his Gotham “homie”, Rufus doesn’t go out of his way to pretend he's something he’s not. Again, he’s not someone she’s gone out of her way to befriend, but the few interactions they’ve had were likely her just making inappropriate comments.

[QUOTE]Finally, Jiri is one of the members of the team Arina hasn’t bothered to form a real opinion about. No complaints, and probably only compliments for a change. So maybe that was a lie, Arina has taken a liking to Jiri. She finds her adorable.
