A Strong Body

Appearance: Lurele is a fairly athletic young girl, which is reflected by her physical build.  Her arms and legs are toned with muscle, and her stomach is flat with the strength concealed there.  She has no visible scars, and while it doesn't seem as though she usually concerns herself with 'girly' accessories such as makeup she has a type of natural beauty that some may still find her pretty.  She won't be winning any beauty contests, but she's far from an ugly girl.

Lurele's most noticeable feature is her head of fiery red hair.  It's quite long, falling to nearly her knees, though she keeps it held in one large braid down her back in order to keep it somewhat manageable.  Her eyes are a dark green, and her skin tone is lightly tanned.

Dressing for ease of movement more often than to draw out her personal appearance, Lurele's wardrobe is often quite simple.  She normally wears a red tank top over a black sports bra, with long black slacks covering her legs.  She usually prefers a pair of lace-up boots that offer decent traction for her footwear.  No matter what she's wearing Lurele can usually be spotted by the black tape wrapped around the palms of her hands...  Rather it actually goes with her outfit or not.

Height:  5' 8"

Weight:  144 lbs

Fighting Style:  When forced to fight, Lurele's philosophy comes down to a strategy of "hit it until it quits moving".  Preferring force over tactics, Lurele tries to end her fights quickly by overpowering opponents.  She prefers close combat, and has no qualms about resorting to her fists if no other option is available.  She doesn't like backing down from an opponent and may stubbornly refuse to flee from a fight she likely wouldn't win.

Preferring a strong offense to make up for a poor defense, Lurele will sometimes take a hit in order to land one of her own rather than avoid it and wait for a better opportunity.  She's been known to not realize minor injuries until after the adrenaline has worn off.  While this may be cause for a few safety concerns, she is confident that her high-risk, high-reward style is what she needs to succeed.

Personality:  Lurele is a very headstrong young girl, making decisions quickly and sticking to her convictions.  She comes to conclusions based on information available to her at the time and doesn't like when she learns something contradictory to a thought she's already established, even when the contradiction may be for the better.  Thus first impressions are very important to Lurele, wanting to make sure that those she meets have a clear idea of what they can expect from her.

Enjoying the company of others, Lurele is usually fairly easy to get along with provided first introductions have been taken care of.  Unless she's already decided she doesn't like someone she will eagerly carry on a conversation with close to anyone, even going so far as to making herself look foolish by getting into a topic she knows little about.  Well aware that she's not exactly the smartest girl, Lurele has a good sense of humor about herself and is willing to laugh most things off...  Again assuming that she hasn't decided beforehand that she doesn't like someone.

While normally she may be seen as somewhat of a tomboy, Lurele does enjoy being treated like a young lady...  She just won't be the one to admit it.  While unused to it, she would easily overlook almost any personality flaws of someone that would flirt with her.  If with those she considers close friends Lurele may be known to more easily open up and talk about topics she's interested in, even if it were to come down to something as simple as idle gossip.

Lurele may be prone to sporadic but somewhat serious bouts of depression.  She blames herself for any failures, regardless of if it were her fault or not, and she refuses to talk about her negative emotions for fear of appearing weak.  Therefore she lets them bottle up until the point where she effectively breaks down, losing confidence in herself from the constant self blame and causing these negative emotions to build off each other.  While any of these fits never last long, she is known to avoid her friends while in one of these moods out of fear she would drag them down as well.

Inside the Soul

Abilities:   Lurele can use the Soul Purge ability, channeled in the form of a punch.  Using her soul to strengthen the blow, her usual trigger for the ability is a vicious right hook.

Out of your Mind

Weaknesses: Strategically inept, Lack of intelligence, Poor agility

Hobbies:  While athletic, Lurele doesn't exactly have any favored sports.  While she will often enjoy physical activity, she would struggle to name a favorite game if someone were to ask her.  She won't admit it, but she does enjoy cooking and baking.  While she's never owned a pet herself she does like to spend time near animals, finding most of them to be cute, even ones other people may find gross.

Likes:  A good workout, gossip, cooking, most animals, music, spending time with others, coffee

Dislikes: Reading, laziness, rudeness, math, perfume, fancy clothes, sloppy makeouts

Aspirations:  Lurele's aspirations are fairly simple and straightforward - to become a strong meister capable of stopping "evil", rather that be kishin or witches, wherever she may be expected to fight it.  She wants to be able to earn the respect of her peers as a capable combatant so that they will all see her as a stalwart ally.

History: Lurele has lived a rather simple life up through this point, having grown up in the suburbs near Topeka, Kansas.  She was born on the cool night of October 13th to a loving family.  Once she'd grown into a toddler she began to see less and less of her parents, as they were both forced to travel quite a bit for business.  As such Lurele spent most of her weeks living with her grandparents on her father's side, only getting to see her mother and father on the weekends.

She started out going to a crowded public school with many students, which just to be expected with the sheer number of children, not all of whom she got along with.  Lurele's parents taught her to ignore the students she didn't like - her grandfather had a different philosophy and told her she should stand up for herself if something happened.  This resulted in a number of small fights - nothing major, just children scuffling, until one time when Lurele was about 10 years old.

It was in one of these small fights that Lurele first accidentally used her Soul Purge ability.  Thankfully the other child she'd been fighting with was relatively unharmed once he awoke, but the event resulted in a call to Lurele's parents who had been out of town as they usually were.  Her mother admitted to coming from a line of meisters, and she had assumed that when she'd shown little aptitude for it that her daughter also wouldn't.

Finally growing old enough Lurele enrolled in Shibusen, her head filled with dreams of becoming a hero able to protect people from evil creatures.  Though this is her first time actually on her own, used to having at least her grandparents to come home to, she is excited enough about becoming a meister that it hasn't really bothered her.

RP Sample:

The sounds of quiet grunts filled the small one person apartment, the light from the rising sun pouring into the window to find Lurele doing push-ups on her bedroom floor.  A soft layer of sweat already glistened on her forehead as she concentrated on the task, mumbling quietly with each breath in order to keep count of the exercises.  "Twenty-eight...  Twenty-nine...  Thirty!"

Opening her mouth widely to catch her breath, Lurele flops onto the floor and rolls on to her back.  Grinning widely she brings one hand up to her face, wiping her forehead on the back of her hand while fighting to get her breathing back under control.  "Not a...  Bad way to wake up...  Heh..."

After spending a couple minutes cooling off she pushes herself to her feet, walking to the nightstand near her bed.  Picking up a roll of black tape she starts to wrap it around the palms of her hands, giving each hand a couple good twirls before using her teeth to bite the tape off and tuck it in securely.  Clenching her fist and pumping it in front of her, content that it was firmly wrapped, Lurele laughs quietly before turning towards the door.  There was a long day ahead of her...  One she had to get pumped up for!

Stepping out of her bedroom and into the small kitchen, Lurele opened the fridge to grab a bottle of water before heading out of the apartment.  Her mind was screaming for caffeine, but she wasn't going to let herself stop for a coffee until after at least getting a run around the block in.  Twisting the cap off the water she lifts the bottle to her mouth, taking a long drink as she shuts the apartment's door behind her.  With a small sigh she screws the cap back on and tosses the bottle onto the step in front of her door, so she'd remember to pick it up later, before turning to run down the sidewalk.  Her braid trailing behind her, Lurele had a small grin on her face as she hurried along the block.
