Liliai Sakura

War is overdue, The time has come for you

Spirit Manipulation ::: Intermediate // Subject: Valkyrie is capable of utilizing spirit energy in a variety of forms, from arrows for her bow to entirely new armaments if needed. Valkyrie reports moderate to severe headaches, or sudden bouts of exhaustion from overuse. Valkyrie is not capable of structures larger than her height in any dimension, and cannot create complex mechanisms she has not seen before.

Adoptive Action ::: Beginner // Subject: Valkyrie reports the ability to mimic any action upon seeing it performed once. She does not yet understand how this ability came to be, and only has menial control over it as of current. Valkyrie's progress in controlling this ability is increasing steadily, and analysis indicates it will be ready for field use in a manner of weeks, if not days.

Aim, shoot, kill your leaders

Hardlight Bow // Lily's fully collapsible compound bow, and her default weapon. In its fully collapsed state it appears similar in size to a decently sized textbook, albeit a textbook that unfolds rather neatly and easily into a fully fledged bow with a few simple movements. Lily has made it a personal game to see how fast she can completely change it from its fully collapsed state to battle-ready and back again. So far her record is two point thirty eight seconds. She commonly uses her Spirit Manipulation to provide ammo for it, but she does keep a stock of physical arrows in case she needs to save her energy for more important matters.

Worn Notebook // Lily carries a notebook with her at all times, sometimes its red, sometimes blue, sometimes some other color, but no matter what shade of the rainbow it is, she can always be found drawing or writing within it. When not on a mission, of course. It's magical in nature, and she explains that she got it in one of those weird, creepy antique stores when she was little. She's fairly certain there's more to it than seemingly-infinite pages and the random color swapping, but she doesn't mind not knowing.

JRPG Figurine // A figurine of one of Lily's favorite video game characters. The small feminine form sports a bow similar in design to Lily's own, which would explain why her request was so detailed when it came in.

Random Engineering Things // A tinker at heart, Lily has all sorts of mechanical doo-dads stored all over her person and her purse. Every once in a while she finds an actual use for one. Half the time, they work a quarter of the time.

Warped and bewitched, Time to erase whatever they say

White hair. Blue eyes. These are the first things people notice about the Lily. The next? The dark blue marking below her right eye, and her ever-so-slightly pointed ears. The marking she claims is a tattoo, one in the shape of her own concept of the All-Seeing Eye, and she merely shrugs off comments about her ears. To her, they've always been that way. She stands at approximately 5 feet and 8 inches tall, is of a healthy weight, and prefers clothes on the nicer side of things. She wears a band on her right wrist, and a necklace around her neck, both given to her by close friends that she has no idea if she'll meet again. She stands with a grace almost beyond her years, and is fanatically fascinated with gaming, music, and anime.

Doesn't help that she herself looks like she belongs in at least two of the three.

She's constantly carrying around the cylinder that turns into her Hardlight Bow, keeping it out of sight yet within easy reach at all times. She gives off a friendly, welcoming air...

Just don't catch her after 10 p.m.

Oppose and disagree, Destroy demonocracy

Standard // Lily is, most of the time, a rather shy yet still very strong-willed girl. She's not unwilling to speak her mind, though when confronted with certain situations she ends up with a bit of a stuttering issue. She doesn't tend to enjoy being the center of attention, but finds herself capable of carrying the burden if needed- even if she shies away slightly at the notion of such things. In combat situations, she's deadly calm, and one step ahead, constantly analyzing the situation as well as her opponent's characteristics so that she has the best chance of success.

After 10 P.M. however, things change slightly...

After Dark // A hypnotic by-product from one of her high school romances, Lily undergoes a bit of a personality switch after a certain time in the afternoon. This switch causes her to be far, far more assertive, and leaves her shy day-to-day self in the dust for a far more outgoing, loud-spoken individual... one who isn't opposed to leaving her mind in the gutter either. After Dark, Lily becomes more of a loose cannon, acting dominantly on reflex and impulse but still driven by the same analytical tactics she employs in her usual self. All in all, she becomes a far more lethal combatant, with a far more rowdy personality to boot.

-52 Days From Present

This is it. I'm finally in the Order.

I've wanted for this my entire life, to help people, to be on the front lines, and it has finally happened. They'd said that they'd seen what I could do. That my powers, my use of my Ki to defend myself and others, the way I used it during my Karate classes, the way I utilized it when singing, when playing. The way I could almost instinctively sense when something wasn't right. They said they'd caught my special tricks, my Ki.

My visual power. The one that I've nicknamed my Sharingan just because I'm trash enough to do so. They said they'd taken note of these things, and that they would like to have me within their ranks.

What could I do besides say yes?

Mother, Father, wherever you are I hope you're proud of me. Perhaps with this I can even get Irix to shut his trap for more than a few moments. That'd be nice wouldn't it?

I've been assigned the codename of Valkyrie for the time being, and I can't decide if it's fitting or iconic considering the family genealogy, and the fact that Valkyries were essentially Nordic Angels. I've finally been able to realize this dream, and all of those long nights spent up playing JRPGs gave me the inspiration for the weapon I'll be using. Hint, Hint, it's a bow. Guess Uncle Dan and his constantly pestering me into learning archery gets to pay off... about ten years later.

I've been assigned the role of Hunter for the time being. I'm under the impression it's the entry-level position and at some point I may be moved into the Operations Room or perhaps even be made an Assassin, whatever that is. From what I can gather, it's a more important position than mine, and I don't want to be on one of their lists. I got an email a half hour ago telling me to expect a list of possible missions that I can take. I've been advised to take the easiest one until I get the hang of it.

Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I've always learned faster with adrenaline and certain death pumping through my veins.

Either way. I'm here now. The only place I can go is up.

Here's to my new life.
