[@VitaVitaAR] I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't be able to write an occult obsessed character as well as I would one who's only dabbled in it, and since I was using that just as a springboard anyway, I dropped it entirely. Sorry to keep going off in different directions. [hider=CS3] [u][b][color=00aeef]Name:[/color][/b][/u] Tsubomi Amano [u][b][color=00aeef]Age:[/color][/b][/u] 17 [u][b][color=00aeef]Gender:[/color][/b][/u] Female [u][b][color=00aeef]Appearance:[/color][/b][/u] [url=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8QJBI9VgAInkwW.jpg]Image[/url] | A red-haired girl who stands at 5 feet 8 inches (or 172.72 cm) and weighs approximately 137 pounds, (or 78.47 kg) bearing amber eyes. Tsubomi has notably above-average musculature and an athletic build. [u][b][color=00aeef]Personality:[/color][/b][/u] Tsubomi has a deep resentment for humanity which drives her to constantly try to improve in everything she does. It's in part due to this that she has trouble asking for help no matter how desperate the situation, as she feels that if she can't solve a problem herself, then she just has to try harder. In spite of this, she is overly trusting and gullible. She is quite competitive as she views it as a way to prove herself. She dislikes authority and self-righteous people. She also despises insects and insect-looking creatures with all her heart. She is very quick to anger, but usually can control herself before doing something she shouldn't. Though that's not to say that she's above beating someone up for a deep enough cutting insult, or especially for attacking her physically. Still, Tsubomi usually dislikes fighting unless it's to protect someone weaker. She doesn't like weaklings, but recognizes that they still have room to grow, so she protects them from those who have squandered their potential by becoming the type to prey on them.

[u][b][color=00aeef]Brief Backstory:[/color][/b][/u] Tsubomi grew up in a very lax household. When she was young, her dream was to one day be a doctor, and her parents supported this. It all started with learning biology. She spent her free time online to learn as much as she could about the human body. This started with diagrams and text, and grew to videos. At first she was disgusted when she watched a minor surgery, but as time went on she became desensitized to it. Like most kids, she had a strong curiosity that fed into her watching more and more extreme videos. She still studied human biology but her interest became twisted, culminating in her losing focus on her goal and finding a certain website where she was able to watch disasters occur. Car crashes, derailed trains, houses burning down... The list went on, and she slowly found herself losing touch with her view of mortality. Unfortunately, by this time she was a young teenager, and like many teenagers she had totally flipped on what she wanted to do as an adult. Her new fascination was not medicine, but politics. As she continued learning about the subject she became more and more convinced that there was too much wrong in the world. People put their trust in others, who inevitably would betray that trust. Power was consolidated through lies, and might made right. These were the truths of the world, she believed, and she hated it. She blamed the strong for abusing the weak, and the weak for allowing themselves to be abused. She eventually grew violent against the school bullies and was sent to live with her uncle after being nearly expelled from her school for a fight. He believed that a healthy outlet for her violent tendencies would help her, and so he gave her a wooden sword that she now carries everywhere she can. She now goes to Yamamura High School, where she has gotten caught up in the rumors of "Strange Gospel." [b][u][color=00aeef]Theme:[/color][/u][/b] https://youtu.be/rePFEUu7YZs [/hider]
