Sonja

Name: Sonja Nikira
Age: 28
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 136
Build: Athletic, lean.
Hair Color : Black
Eye Color : Hazel
Occupation : Street performer when in need of gold.
Sonja is a bit of a tomboy.. she loves getting into fights and can almost always be found with her hair tied back and under a bandanna, her hands protected by padded leather gloves. Although sporting the typical traits of a female fighter straight out of a video game, her build is lacking the key, unrealistic chest. She can easily hide her femininity with a tight wrapping of cloth and a loose robe. Apart from that, she's a normal girl.
Until she gets -into- a fight, that is.
Sonja was never taught how to fight, just how to remember and learn from patterns. In a matter of seconds she could perform a complex move for the master at the town's dojo.. She had been called "Miss Mimic" for a long time in the local fighting rings.. because she could only replicate what she'd seen.
Honing this skill, she got to the point where she could 'master' an entire fighting style by watching someone fight, exploiting the focuses of a particular branch to generate the rest of the moves.
[Brief description of abilities]
Sonja picks up a fighting style (everything short of unnatural or race specific energy bursts.[1]) just by seeing it used in combat. She can remember up to three full fighting styles before one is forgotten (The one she has gone the longest without seeing/using). Perhaps eventually she will be able to remember more, and completely master the skills.
Sonja is also gifted in field remedies.. she can patch her wounds quickly if she can get away from the battle for a minute, and can set her own bones to an extent(This takes a little bit of time and focus. Can't quite be performed mid-fight unless she finds total cover and protection for at least five minutes.. depending on the severity of the injury. Normally she cannot continue a battle on a broken limb.)
When it comes to weapon-based fighting styles, she will seek an effective weapon or a stand-in. For a two-handed sword style in a forest, for example, she could grab a sturdy branch and adjust some if possible.
Equipment: Sonja carries on her person only a few things; two pairs of gloves, one of which is leather and steel, covering her whole hand, and the other pair is padded leather and only covers up to the first joint of her fingers. She doesn't anticipate any need for heavy armor, and simply wears thick hide pants and a padded leather top with a light, removable steel plate over her vital organs.
[1] If there's an energy that is drawn from the spirit, she may be able to pull that off.. but this skill is unknown to her as of yet
To whoever judges this: Anything you need expanded or altered can/will be made to fit the requirements.
