NATSUMI -Dominion-
Dee Jay's Theme - Street Fighter 4
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Specie: Salaman
Physical Description: A red dragon with dark stripe-like markings, spiky platinum-blond fur, and curving azure horns. She has an azure lilac-shaped lock in her mane. She wears a necklace with three colored feathers and a grid-like bracelet.
Personality: Lively, upbeat, and eagerly optimistic, she thinks every day is a good opportunity to celebrate life. For her, sharing happiness is what it's all about. Dragons of other races may think she's rather childish. She really loves chocolate milk, hot or cold.
History: When Natsumi and the other Salaman dragons were revived from a memory fragment that fell back to Ryuga, she was eager to celebrate with the other residents of Magmondi...but was taken aback when they fled in fear from her. Damian and Lucas happened to find her moping on the beach, and she perked back up when they offered their company to her. She was surprised that Damian didn't know her, though. In any case, she decided to fix the apparently-burned bridges between humans and dragons now that she's back home at long last.
Equipment: Her only "tool" is a baked clay jug that she keeps with her at all times. It's been tempered to withstand temperatures up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. With it, she can brew her ideal hot chocolate or herbal teas just by heating her palm at its base.
Abilities: As a Salaman, she's proficient in fire oneirites, favoring moves that let her get after foes and deal in blow after blow. She can also bask in molten lava without a problem, even casting an aura around herself that prevents anything on her from being burned or melted. The firm grip in her claws is ideal for climbing along walls.
Other: She's...not a good swimmer.
Specific Moves
- Three Cheers: Takes a swig of some kind of oneirite juice from her jug (or tosses it onto herself and any nearby allies), getting a boost in power and defense. The longer the juice brews, the more potent it will be.
- Dragon Dance: Does a little dance of valor, reenergizing the overall focus of her team.
- Jetfire: Spews forth a stream of flames that burn struck foes and block off most attacks.
- Volcano Mine: Slaps the ground, creating a fiery mine that explodes when a foe steps on it.
- Kablooie: Directs a focus into the ground, then summons a pillar of fire from it.
- Jubilee: Blows a burst of colorful fire up into the air. A good anti-air measure.
- Rising Dragon: Strikes high upward with a fierce flaming punch.
- Hot Potato: Tosses an orb of fire forth. It will hover in place for a while before exploding into a wide wave of flame.
- White Whistle: Blows fire across the mouth of her jug, spreading a patch of white fire on the ground that lingers. It can carry her flames further ahead if they go across it.
- Sunshine: Summons an emulation of strong sunlight over the area. Intensifies the effects of fire and hinders cold attacks.
- Festive Shine: Spews (or sneezes) a flurry of embers over a wide area, where they all explode into colorful bursts.
- Thousand-C: Slams her forepaws into the ground, creating a gigantic explosion of flame around herself.
