| Oddities |
♧ She really does not like to be touched. She isn't afraid - she'll just hurt you if you try to touch her in any way.
♧ Sora is basically a living lie detector. She is very skilled when it comes to telling if someone is not being honest with her.
♧ Although she isn't an emotionless robot, she is able to perform some and certain tasks without any emotion at all. It's simply a form of protection for her - although she does often come off as not caring about a thing.
♧ She experiences very severe night terrors, to the point of her being hospitalized. Not only is she scarred by the images she sees, but she often injures herself in her sleep due to thrashing. Because of this, she is forced to restrain herself in some way before sleeping. The worst part of this? She remembers the dreams. And more times than not, they are of her adoptive father and what he would do to her - and of his death.

| Fears |
☠ Men ~ Due to her History with her adoptive father, she has a genuine fear of anyone of the male gender. If one even approaches her, she will not hesitate to attack him.
☠ Cats ~ She doesn't really know why. She just ... Really doesn't like cats.
☠ Clowns ~ Admit it. Clowns are just creepy as shit.
☠ Physical Contact ~ It isn't that she's a germophobe or anything. After what she's lived through, she has more than enough reasons to be afraid of anything involving physical contact.
"Just - Hey! Don't judge me on them! They're ... They're scary!"
| Skills/Talents |
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Martial Arts ~ She not only holds the highest of belts in Krav Maga, but also several awards for Pugilism {Boxing}, and a black belt in Bacom. Both the first and the latter are advanced forms of martial arts - the only difference in them being that Krav Maga does not include weaponry of any type, but instead physical contact only. Both are considered a fight to the death, since both forms train a person to deliver the most efficient blows in hurting their enemy.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Computer Programming ~ Not only can she hack into different websites and other computers, but from the age of seven she has been able to dismantle a computer and reassemble it within a small space of time. She has also built her own computers from scratch, all of which work at the same level or sometimes even better than some of the most popular computer brands.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Multilingual ~ Not only can she speak Japanese and Greek, but also Cantonese, Chinese, English, Gaelic, and Italian. Due to her years in foster care, there was little that brought her joy - but learning new languages distracted her from the sorrow that hung over her shoulders.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Creation ~ Sora is quite skilled with her hands and can easily create something out of nothing. Called "Do It Yourself" projects in the human world, she often had an artist's eye when it came to making things out of miscellaneous objects, and even sold several of her designs for money.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Technology ~ By far her most enhanced skill, Sora is extremely intelligent in the field of electronic devices and technology. She is rarely seen without her small case of tools, and is almost always seen fiddling with some new technological device of her own - a radio communication unit, a mini television, or something along those lines.
"I pride myself on my abilities - as should you."
| Powers |
None - unless you include her talents as powers, which is highly improbable.
"I'm sorry, but why would I have 'powers'? I'm human. No one in this world can possibly possess any special 'powers' - right?"

"I'm a pretty amazing individual - and don't you dare forget that."
| Flaws |
☣ She has a very low self-worth due to what she has been forced to live through {See History}.
☣ She is deathly afraid of men {See History}.
☣ Sora tends to stick to herself, not attempting to make friends, nor accepting those who try. This can be both a good and a bad thing.
"There's something wrong with everyone. You shouldn't try to fix everything about yourself. It's more about finding someone to accept you entirely - flaws and all."

"I can't quite say that I understand what you're asking me."
| Personality |
A tender girl at heart, Sora often comes off as abrasive and rude. She's often either passive aggressive or extremely aloof when approached by anyone - whether they be male, female, young, or old. Many people often make offhand comments about how she seems to act as though she thinks that she's better than everyone else and that she treats other people like crap. While the latter is true, the first is false. In fact, she has a very low self-esteem and has never once thought that she was better than anyone - except for her scum of a 'father'.
Despite her rough exterior, her interior is quite soft and gentle. When no one is looking, she is more often than not feeding stray animals, cooing over how adorable a child may be, or even volunteering at retirement homes, hospitals, and animal shelters. She adores those who are weak or require protection, and overloads the loveless with love. However, she attempts to hide all of this from anyone who could possibly use it against her.
The last factor of Sora is that she is very overprotective. When she eventually trusts and cares for someone enough to consider them at least a friend, it is recommended that one does not lay a finger of harm upon her loved ones - for if one did, that person would not be alive for much longer.
"I'm me, assholes - and don't you forget it. I'll put you in your place so quickly you won't know what hit you!"
| Dominant Emotion |
Aloofness
"Unless you prick my interest - which is very difficult to do, mind you - I can't promise that I'll pay much attention to you."
| Danger Level |
Normally, she's about a 3. She doesn't really care about what other people do, so long as they don't bother her. However, when antagonized - say they hurt someone she did manage to care about, or did something to mess with her stuff - she soars up to about an 8 in her threat level. Not just because of her skills in the art of fighting, but also because of her technological intellect.
"I'm a pretty scary bitch when I want to be."
| Average grade |
GPA ~ 3.887; A
"I may be a bit of a delinquent, but I still maintain a good school transcript. How else am I going to advance in life?"
"Prying too deeply into someone's past - that's quite a troublesome trait you have there. Not only can it hurt the person you are delving into, but it can also hurt you - and not just mentally."
| Keepsakes |
A portable hologram computer that she designed herself, that when viewed appears to be only portable flashlight. Also a Hologram Tablet that she bought as a normal tablet, but later tweaked with and created a hologram one. Finally, an antique locket of her mother's, who died when she was a baby.
"So what if I refuse to get rid of these. I don't hold a childish obsession over them - they merely bring back pleasant memories."
| History |
To be honest, Tresora never really had a happy life while growing up - which is one of the reasons for her being sent away to school.
She never had the chance to meet her mother or father, for she was abandoned in a beaten-up box along the side of a highway. Only a day old, she was discovered by a passerby in a car, who found it odd that the box was placed so easily in that precise spot - as if someone wished that it would be somehow blown into the road and destroyed. He stopped and found Tresora in it. He immediately phoned the police and collected the now-day-old child, before rushing her to the hospital. Luckily she was unharmed in all aspects - both physically and when illness was involved. She was immediately put into the foster system and was taken in by a caring couple who only wanted a child.
She stayed with the Yori's until she turned six - the only time in her childhood that she actually lived with happiness. However, they never adopted her, and eventually gave her back to the foster agency - for they had a baby of their own. She spent the next two years bouncing between twelve different foster homes. Nothing was wrong with her - they just had other priorities and didn't care to spend time on a needy child with a terrible beginning.
By the age of eight, she ended up in the care of a man by the name of Hugo Marshone. A rich man in his mid-fourties, his mere appearance would send chills down the most strong of men's bones. His smile was that of a lizard's - sly and evil - and one would do wise to refrain from angering him.
She became the only child of Marshone when he adopted her at the age of ten. However, the social services agency did a poor job in establishing if he was a fit candidate to adopt a child. She spent the two years of fostering with him in that of fear and torture. Not only a rich man, he was also a drug dealer and a drunkard, and made her a frequent target in one of his drunken states. Not only through rage, but also through other violent measures, and he would often physically and sexually abuse the child. She spent a total of eight years under the 'care' of the man. Despite all of this, however, she received not only a high-up education, but also advanced training in the art of fighting and hand-to-hand combat. She not only holds the highest of belts in Krav Maga, but also several awards for Pugilism, and a black belt in Bacom. Both the first and the latter are advanced forms of martial arts - the only difference in them being that Krav Maga does not include weaponry of any type, but instead physical contact only. Both are considered a fight to the death, since both forms train a person to deliver the most efficient blows in hurting their enemy.
On her sixteenth birthday - a mere two months before her enrollment in Yokai Academy - she had had more than enough of the man who was her adoptive 'father'. When he attempted to touch her on that night, she quickly and efficiently killed - no, slaughtered - the man. In the police report it spoke of how the scene was like that of a horror film - the blood of the victim was splashed across the floor and surrounding walls, and the victim himself was a fright to look at. There were a total of thirty-two stab wounds stretching from his collarbone to his hips. In addition, his throat was slit so savagely that his spinal chord had actually been chipped.
She doesn't recall much from that night.
Despite the goriness of the murder, the jury reached a unanimous decision that Sora was not guilty - after evidence of the sexual and physical abuse was brought to the stand, and the fact that she spent years reaching out to the police for help, and yet none was given. She did, however, spend the following two months under psychiatric evaluation for different types of mental disorders. None were found, of course, and she was cleared. She was given several medications for depression and night terrors, though.
Due to her history, the foster system realized that no family would wish to take in a girl who murdered someone - whether as a foster child or through adoption. As a last point of desperation, she was sent to Japan, and then transported Yokai Academy - where her history was not known, and where she could live a normal life.
Or so they thought.
"No matter what I have been through, I've always come out stronger in the end. It has yet to break me. Besides, what doesn't kill me makes me thrive, alive, and stronger - I should actually thank all of the people who have negatively impacted my life. They've made me into who I am today - and I wouldn't trade myself for anything."
