Zetsubou
05-13-08, 12:51 PM
Full Name: Zetsubou Birii (Despair of Billy)
Age: 12
Race: Dryad (Wood-Nymph)
Hair Color: Pink-ish Red
Eye Color: Sky Blue
Height: 4ft 6in
Weight: 31.75 Kilograms
Occupation: Theif
Personality:
Zetsubou is quite a cheery little girl, even if she is a bit short-tempered. She hates being called 'short' or anything in that context, and will retort with a quick-witted reply or a punch. Even though her name means 'despair of Billy' (Billy being her late father whom she never knew), she is not really in despair at all. She lives life as it comes, and enjoys playing pranks for her own amusement, not really caring if the person is hurt or aggravated. She believes that she is the most beautiful woman in Althanas, even if she is around 12 years old. She is extremely optimistic, and sometimes calls herself "Zetsubou The Great" as it raises her self esteem.
Appearance:
Standing at 4ft 6in Zetsubou is thin and quite fragile. Her main features are her large blue eyes, her pointed ears and the horn that produtes from her forehead that pokes out from under her fringe. Her pinkish hair is long and even though she doesn't live in any specific place, it is soft and shiny. It is tied back in a small ponytail near the bottom of her head, and the fringe covers one of her bright blue eyes. Her face is slightly rounded, with no defined jawline unlike most older woman. She has one fang on the left side of her mouth, and she has upside-down green triangles under her eyes. She wears an olive green tunic, that is torn at the bottom so it looks like a skirt, and a rope belt to hold it to her waist and around her shoulder. She wears a plain wooden bangle on her right wrist and two olive green leg warmers held in place by rope. She doesn't wear shoes and she has the same olive fabric tied around her neck like a bandana.
History:
Dryads live for a very long time so she has multiple generations still alive, including her mother. Her father died from defending their home in the forest from a wolf when Zetsubou was just born. Her mother named her Zetsubou Birii because of her father's passing on that day. She never knew him, so she doesn't really miss him, which her mother finds offensive. Once Nym, a squirrel that seemed to keep following her, spoke to her, they became inseperable. At 12 years, which is estimated 21 in human terms, Zetsubou left home, being old enough to defend for herself. Her mother gave her some gold to live off, but she had nowhere to go, and instead she got mugged at Corone. She has now decided that she should become stronger for her mother and her own safety. She's now an expert on pickpocketing, and stealing.
Skills:
Acrobatics: Being a Nymph of some origin, Zetsubou has the ability to perform acrobatics and can demonstrate the basics. eg. Backflips, frontflips, and cartwheels. She is very nimble on her feet, so her speed and dodging are good, but not perfect.
Slight-of-Hand: Zetsubou is a pickpocket, so she needs a good slight-of-hand. She can steal quickly and carefully, normally not noticed by the average passing stranger.
Dagger use: Using a Kirpan, she doesn't really know any techniques as of yet. Her dagger-fighting style revolves around strength and rage, not speed and tactics, so she usually misses and her attacks are normally obvious so they can be dodged and blocked.
Equipment:
Kirpan: A long-ish dagger with a slight curve in the blade and a wooden hilt, the blade is made from an orange-coloured iron found in the forests.
Large Pouch: It contains items stolen from others like gold, jewels, 'lucky' stones and various bits-n-bobs.
Familiars:
A light-brown squirrel named Nym, who followed her around at first but now he accompanies her everywhere with her consent. He has no real use, but she talks to him as if he were a person. He, of course, talks back and she sends him into buildings to thieve items. He's a bit of a loudmouth, and always has to have the last say, to Zetsubou's distaste. He also keeps her company in times of hardship.
