Heart

Appearance
Heart appears to be a girl at around the age of 16. She is always seen with Asher C. Stahl, wearing a magenta hoodie and a black fluffed skirt. For a 16 year old teen, her face is well sculpted, decorated with odd golden eyes and silver hair. Due to this, she is often regarded as a beauty amongst her classmates. She is unrealistically light, making her very agile in combat.

Personality
Heart has a playful personality in which she only directs to Asher.

Her attitude towards anyone can be described as "non-existent" as she believes anything that doesn't concern her, Asher, Tana or Rayne is not worth noticing (although, her behaviour towards Rayne is a spiteful one).

Heart can be compared to a naive child in terms of dealing with situations. She thinks she might as well be indestructible and as a result, harbours a brash and cocky attitude. Unlike Asher, she lives for the thrill of the fight often laughing when fighting an opponent.

She has no problem with killing if it means getting enjoyment out of it.

Despite all this, Heart is still a genuine girl on the inside with fears, hopes and dreams. The desire to live and the will to die. She know who to protect and why as long as there are people who care.

With the lack of knowledge of the general world, Heart is actually quite timid and anxious when not around Asher.

Weapons and Abilities
Like Asher's weapon, Breaker, Heart's weapon, Shiranami, was not crafted at Signal Academy.

Unlike Asher, however, Heart seems to know everything about her own weapon and alot about Asher's weapon as well (demonstrated through her constant lecture about it being way bigger than it should be).

The weapon's design is similar to the Breaker while the blade is not as broad, and the length is slightly shorter. Approximately 70 centimetres in length and 4 centimetres in width. One should consider it a well forged longsword. The guard also consist of the black obsidian, a speciallty of her father, the mounatin dwelling blacksmith, that attaches the blade to the grip. The weight of the blade is lighter than most since it was forged for her at the age of 8 and also because while the blade looks bigger in comparison, it is also thinner but just as strong as any other blades, if not stronger.

The blade is always seen on her at all times as it is the second last piece of metal work her father produced before he fell ill and passed.

It does not appear to have any special abilities.

Heart does not use Dust for she has never been in contact with such materials.

Fighting Style
Heart's fighting style consists of fast and acrobatic movements on the battlefield, commonly taking advantage of the ignorance of a fighter to look up during battle and her ability to jump ludicrously high due to her weight. She shows true swordsmanship, refusing to fight someone unarmed (even if that's their style) and possessing what seems to be centuries of experience. While honourable in fights, Heart has no intention to let her opponent live once the fighting starts, often requiring the intervention of Asher to stop any unnecessary deaths. To her everyone she faces is fair game as long as she deems them worthwhile.

Her recklessness in getting the kill however, is her disadvantage and has cause her a little over 300 shirts and skirts in total, all bought back using Asher's savings. Using a two handed grip she always keeps the blade between herself and her opponent.

A shorter and thinner sword provides much faster swing speeds and greatly improves stamina conservation. However, since it lacks reach and weight, the weapon must be used at a closer range and cannot stagger opponents.

When Heart is around Asher, her  fighting style changes to suite well with Asher and vice versa. Often feinting swinging at each other to hit enemies behind the partner or throwing their weapons, sometimes even each other to and from the battlefield. The two share their weapons during this type of fighting, ranging from a mix of switching blades, dual wielding, and barehanded fighting.

This style of course relies, on the fact that both fighters are synced into one mind, even a bit of hesitation or distraction can cause serious problems such as decapitation or loss of a weapon.

History
Heart was a girl who lacked a name. It was not because it is a secret but simply because it never existed. Heart was the daughter of a legendary blacksmith. Her mother passed away at birth and from that day, it was only her and her father living in their mountain forge. Her father never gave her a name due ot the fact that a simple “Hey, can you…” or “Would you fetch…” was sufficient. She was taught the way of the sword by her father. She was indeed skilled and could have been the next prodigy in the art of the sword, but she could not complete her training as her father passed away due to terminal illness when she turned 14. The nameless girl, now on her own, wanders the streets for 3 years with her sword forged by her father, Shiranami, as company. Without a place in the world, she lost her purpose and was close to the edge. Even the threat of a Grimm invasion never crossed her mind. It was one night, under the cover of a blackout, Heart encountered a girl in a white coat trimmed in red.

“Prepare yourself demon, for I am the light that will cleanse thee from this world.” said the girl in white.

And Heart? She simply didn’t care, she just. Didn’t. Give. A. Single. Fuck.

In a split second, the bones were dislocated out of her joints, but her mental state kept her from feeling the pain.

During the time she was slipping away, she thought back of that someone who was always there for her, slowly but surely, she will meet him again.

But not now.

At that moment, a boy was standing in front of her.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Have you come to finish the job?” Heart said weakly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Shit…what happened?! Let me hel-“, the boy offered his hand

<p class="MsoNormal">“Don’t fucking touch me!” Heart bit back.

<p class="MsoNormal">Heart, retrieving the last of her senses, the pain came rushing back in. Here was a chance to live, will she take it?

<p class="MsoNormal">“Your *cough* Aura, I need it.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“…what? Sure whatever you want take it, whatever you want just…please live!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Give me your…hand.” she whispered at death’s door. She felt the warm touch of the boy’s hand on her head, and at that very moment a bright light flickered between them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Aura is the manifestation of our soul, it bears our burdens and shields our hearts. Thus I impose my burdens and heart upon you, Asher C. Stahl.”

<p class="MsoNormal">A bright light shown between them and when it finally faded, the boy was on his knees, breathing hard.

<p class="MsoNormal">“That helps with the pain…thank you. Now I can died peacefully.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Your…*hah*, limbs, I’ll pop them back in. Just bear with me here! You can’t go!”

<p class="MsoNormal">One by one, the boy slotted the limbs back into their joints, and with each one the boy lost more energy. He was pushing himself, she knew that much.

<p class="MsoNormal">When the last joint was fixed, the boy immediately collapsed.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hey, girl, a suggestion if I may,"  said a middle-aged man with tousled grey hair and signature shaded glass spectacles   on an airship. " would you like to take that boy to my infirmary?”

<p class="MsoNormal">She complied. <p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">It took the boy two days to wake up and Heart has never left his side since that day, for she knows he is the one who anchors her to this plane of existence, the one who she can truly rely upon and when the day comes when they are to die, she will happily leave with him.
