Name: Ruri Ignia

Creator: Runato and Crimsonalloy Approved by: Age: 18 Gender: Female Race: Human Height:4'9" Weight:90 lbs (177 with weapon) Hair: Blonde Eye color: Blue Color: Azure Blue

Appearance
Ruri is a girl of petite stature and frame. Her large, blue eyes are framed by a fringe of bright-blonde hair, which she ties into pigtails with large, floppy blue ribbons. She wears a cropped white blouse and blue tie.

Over her top, she wears a black military-style coat with silver piping, blue buttons, and blue epaulettes. A silver sash runs over her torso and connects to the bag on her hip, and her belt holding up black shorts.

On her feet, she wears black combat boots with blue thigh-high socks. For easier weapon handling, she dons white gloves.

Personality
Ruri's normal and most commonly seen personality is her military self. She is the type to not want to be seen by others unless necessary due to her training in reconaissance, so she usually takes advantage of her speed in order to either avoid being seen by other people, or she will take to the rooftops if possible. If she is on any mission that involves battling, she will either shoot the enemy from afar, or charge straight in depending on the situation. Even outside of missions, Ruri would still prefer to act like a militaristic person, to the point where she violates common sense due to her lack of it. For example, if she wants to make friends she would challenge them to a "friendly spar" and then fight all out against them. Her talking mannerisms are also due to her military training. Only the closest of her friends (if they somehow manage to survive her spars) would be able to see her change her demeanor to her true self openly. Whenever she changes her attitude, she shows her caring and easily embarrassed side for others. It is a daunting task to get her to show that side of her to them though.

Weapons/Abilities
Thanks to the results of her incomplete military training, Ruri's fighting style is considered to be a a fusion of the "Fragile Speedster" and "Glass Cannon" tropes, meaning that she relies on her speed and strength to deal damage while evading attacks. She is able to maintain the stamina to wield her weapons and maintain her speed from her military training, but she cannot take hits in combat. Ruri's weapon allows her to switch between close and long range combat due to the fact that it is a katana with a trigger below the hilt that has a minigun as its sheath, called the Resentful Will. Ruri cannot use both weapons in simultaneously due to the minigun being unable to fire without the trigger - the katana - inserted inside of it, and how low her arm strength is.Therefore, unless she absolutely needs to use the minigun for its firepower and range, Ruri prefers to carry it on her back like a normal sheath, having the back strength needed to maintain her speed. Whenever Resentful Will is in minigun form, Ruri uses both of her hands in order to wield it. Due to her back strength being higher than her combined arm strength, Ruri sacrifices some of her speed for the range. Ruri's semblance is "Azure Flame", which can only be used effectively whenever Resentful Will is in its katana form. When activated, the katana starts emitting an azure flame from itself, which increases the damage inflicted on the target upon contact, and burns them. The main drawback is that if it is used for too long, Ruri collapses from the stamina drain that semblances have.
