Name: Danika Barris Age: 17 Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual Faction: Law Occupation: Student Playby: YU-GI-OH ARC-V, Masumi Kotsu Traits Positive Responsible Moral Loyal Inventive Confident Independent Fearless Negative Stubborn Overconfident Judgmental Jumpy Opinionated Selfish Serious History When she was born- she was not exactly welcomed or wanted- but none the less taken care of. Her mother going back to partying and her grandmother taking care of her- she doesn't remember much about her early life. Times were hard- but until she was around five or so- she didn't realize how 'different' her family was. She had an older sister and an older brother. However she had a newborn baby brother and a baby sister a bit older than he was. Since Deonte was dead weight- she helped all she could with her family. She worked very hard to fill in the cracks that their mother left and tried to be the mother to her siblings. Diamond and Dexter were taken under her wing and she did everything she could to help out her grandmother. For such a young girl, her role was one of years later. She rarely went out and played with her peers, she rarely wanted to go out to get something to drink or eat with school-friends and most often did what she could at home. She was not a child who asked for much- but a child who wished for quite a bit. She knew that she should get things for her family- but there was a part of her that resented the role of mother. She shouldn't have to wipe up after everyone. She was better than that. However she always held her tongue and did what she could for her family. She focused very hard at school and did what she could to avoid Deonte or anything having to do with her mother. She heard the whispers about her but she fiercely beat them back and berated her brother wherever he went. Her ire only grew when he mocked the stones and gems that she got from a distant relative. If she had been older, the damage to him would have been a lot worse because the pent up rage went towards clawing and shrieking at him. Not only does he not provide for the family- he mocks her very precious possessions? She didn't see him for a while- and she was fine with that. She focused on school and her job working in the hardware store down the street. It kept her with good money and good standing with the community as she eagerly tailed any idea of law enforcement for her future. When the event happened- she wasn't sure what to think. Not the religious sort- but not one to hiss at facts- she was sorted into the Law group. Her wish was to be faster and stronger- which was given to her in the grace of speed and not strength. While she's faster than the average girl, she certainly has a way to work towards in the strength department. Insignia Level 1 "Crystal Whip" - Level 1 - With a swipe over a crystal rose tattoo on her thigh- it takes the form of an eight foot whip. Coated in what looks like sharp ruby like thorns, it's simply a weapon. Most of it's strength comes from Danika's own, leaving it somewhat easy to catch and slow to hit. Plus besides the actual thorns, it's not actually that damaging with her own upper body strength. "Olivia" - What appears as a simple butterfly is quite the quiet creature. Able to change it's color at random, it's often a mood ring for what Danika actually feels. It can only talk to her- but it seems perfectly fine staying quiet even to her. It rarely leaves her side, but it rarely comes out of it's shell. Extra Likes Flowers - Danika has a soft spot for flowers. She enjoys small token moments with them. Butterflies and flowers just appeal to her. They're soft- unlike her, making her appreciate them. She can't say she is great with them, but she's an alright gardener and she tries to raise anything she can. Wild strawberries are her favorite to raise. Loves gems - Gemstones are a love of hers. Rubies, Emeralds, Topaz, Lapis- you name it, she probably likes it. With a distant aunt giving her a rather small gift of all kinds of stones and her almost love of (fake) but somewhat real looking crystals, she always found them the most ladylike of things. Hates her family - Her brother is a fool- nothing but a criminal fool. Her mother, she wants nothing to do with her. While she can tolerate her grandmother and younger siblings- anyone related to them especially on her mother's side garners much hate from her. She doesn't ever want to meet her father- or so she says. It's hard for her to understand what people love about fathers after all. She wants to be a detective - While logically she knows she'll run into her barriers because of skin color and gender- she wants to be a cop. She wants to be a detective. She wants to be the good that no one ever saw in her. She would throw her eldest brother in jail the first moment she got. Good with money - Unlike most people in her family- she's good with money and how to spend it. She'll go at astronomical lengths to get a deal. She refuses to go hungry and she wants to take care of the little family she has. She tries to be a good rolemodel for Diamond and Dexter- but she's not sure how well she'll ever be able to pull that off. At least she's not bad as Deonte. Fighter - Even if it's something small- Danika doesn't like to give in or give up. She believes that there's some way to win any fight or any path. It's hard for her to ever give in to anyone. She believes she can do anything with enough determination. Would like to read more - She's constantly training outside and working- but if she could spend more on luxury items, she would go for books. She loves picking up free books from places- and often will find some at the library she would love to own but can't. She has a rather good relationship with her librarian. Loves Tigers - She's not sure why, but just the power and the look of a tiger is amazing to her. She would love to see one up close one day- but she highly doubts it'll happen. She's only seen one at a school trip to the zoo- so that's the closest she's ever gotten. Would love to own plush animals - It's a bit ridiculous- but she thinks they're adorable. She's not allowed to show it- but she has a lot of love for their designs. She can't ever buy many of them, but she always allows herself a treat around her birthday and Christmas. Most of them have been plush animals that she keeps in good condition. She's also overprotective of them. Very physically active - While she can't exactly swing her whip like a pro- she's good with running for miles, has great stamina, and can kick someone right off their feet. To her, it's natural to need to know self-defense and she tries to make sure other people can learn it as well. Even if she has to teach them.
