She finds it hard to make friends IRL so all her friends are online that she gained through playing MMORPGs and participating in public community forums about anime, games, and all other nerdy matters. She's passionate about the things she likes and she will defend a topic with her life. She can spend the entire day inside her room whenever she can, though she likes to keep herself clean and tidy unlike other shut-ins. When she goes out, it's only for conventions and events for the stuff she's interested in. While she's energetic and outgoing online, Lorie's meek and quiet IRL. Believe her, she's tried making friends at her school, at the park, at the mall, but they're always so judgmental about how she's gained weight despite being in a physically active family and how her parents must be disappointed in her for being a geek instead of being cool like them. That's why she prefers to be a wallflower in public occassions: standing on one corner of the room while occasionally looking up from her phone constantly glued to her hand. She's learned to not care about what other people say about her. Life's too short for that after all! Despite that, Lorie is a kind young woman with a heart of gold. She'll give someone a bandaid or a candy if she sees they're hurt or unwell, but she's not the type to take credit for helping. She doesn't need all that validation; Lorie is the type that gets the job done as quickly and efficiently as she could while still being unapologetically herself. [indent][b]Background:[/b][/indent] Lorelei was born into a normal human family that had a passion for physical fitness. Her family members excelled in their chosen lanes: her dad was a famous wrestler and dietician, her mom was a sports medicine physician for international sports teams, her big brother was a silver medalist Olympian turned coach, and her little brother was already the youngest black belter in the world at the age of 5. As for Lorie, she was never really that physically good compared to the rest of her family. She failed in any sports and physical activities she did, but at least she could keep up with them with their weekly family jogging. She had an uncle as well, her dad's twin brother who's a tech professor at a university. Although their faces may look the same, her dad had a much bulkier build than her thin-bodied uncle. Their personalities were vastly different as well, they're always butting heads about anything and everything. When their uncle came to babysit them, he lent them his gaming console which Lorie was completely fell in love with. Eventually, her love for gaming naturally lead to her gaining a similar interest to anime, and soon to coding and technology as well. Her dad and uncle argued, in the comical sense, but seeing how passionate Lorie was in this field and how happy she was compared to her trying to do sports and activities, they decided to set their differences aside for her sake. For her major project, she was inspired by her favorite anime and her family's love for physical fitness and decided to combine them. With the help of her family, she was able to create three devices. First was a visor that could scan a person's general biometrics at a glance like their body temperature, blood type, allergies, etc. Next was a pair of boots that can collect kinetic energy and give them a big jumping boost for movement and flexibility. Finally, she created a staff that where she could recalibrate wavelengths of light to heal wounds and injuries. The purpose of these devices was to improve the person's ability to perform physical activities in and out of sports while gaining insights on their mental and physical wellbeing. Unbeknownst to her, her little brother mistook the staff for a toy and messed with it, accidentally reconfiguring the staff and making it able to create solid structures made of light. Lorie was able to retain the staff's new feature, and she simply reenvisioned the designs of the devices for cosplay purposes. Cute and functional, as she would say. Her big brother suggested to test them on a team he's been coaching and review the results. However, a series of misfortunate events happened that lead to a few accidents and injuries for them team. Lorie wasted no time using her visor to assess the patient's status and recalibrating her staff based on the degree of their injury to better heal them, while she used her boots to quickly go from one patient to another. While they still needed to go to the hospital to recover fully, it was thanks to Lorie's tech and her passion for helping that she saved them from sustaining major injuries. After what happened, he talked to her parents and uncle and then talked to Lorelei about using her talents for good. They saw how much time and effort she poured into her projects and the way she immediately jumped into the action and help those people was a trait that a natural hero possessed. Her parents were still very proud that Lorie had managed to blend her family's dreams for her with her own hobbies and talents, they and encouraged her to give the Sanctioned Hero Exams a try. Lorie was against it at first but seeing how supportive her family was plus given the prospect of becoming her favorite anime/game character IRL, she took that chance. Now that she passed the exams, being a hero was definitely like cosplaying as a character in a video game but with a few caveats. Stakes were definitely higher, consequences of one's actions were graver, and there were no do-overs; she only got one shot to do everything right. On the brighter side, she's used to playing games in the hardest difficulty. [indent][b]Civilian Skills:[/b][/indent] She's more athletic than the normal citizen, and her knowledge about anime and gaming is through the roof. She also knows how many calories each food contain give or take. Perks of being a daughter of fitness enthusiasts.
