Standing at a height of five feet and eight inches, Cecil is of average stature. She is slender, but not skinny and is toned enough from all of her training to be just as strong as the men that she's around in the Drastonian army. She has long brown hair that is colored a bright purple in the front. She pulls the brown portion back into a pony tail most times and lets the purple hang forward. She has rich pale blue eyes that sparkle almost with a star like light on their own. Her skin is fair, with a pale complexion. Her uniform is that of a dark black shirt with a belt over her waist and skirt with tall boots, up to her thighs. When she's piloting her mech, she wears a deep purple colored space suit.
Cecil's mecha is a large sleek machine that is equipped with the Inukaitu metal. This machine is the one that she stole from the Kiritine army when she infiltrated it several years ago. The mecha's main capability are it's swords and detachable beam rifles. The swords are plated in the Inukaitu's metal, giving them more strength and power. In addition, she has the use of beam swords stored in various places along the mecha's lower back and thighs. The detachable beam rifles hang on the shoulders of the mecha when not in use. When in use, they come forward from the mech's shoulders and fire off a hailstorm of beam rounds at Cecil's enemies in rapid succession. Mostly, these are used to protect her from incoming missiles or other attacks as they are quick and highly accurate.
All of this is when her mecha is in the humanoid form. Cecil's mecha has the ability to shape shift into that of a sleek plane. Basically the mecha folds backwards in half at the waist, the extra pieces coming together to form the sleek shape. The cockpit is on the chest of the machine in humanoid form and pulls forward to meet the nose of the plane shape when the mecha folds backwards. In this form she is able to go twice as fast as normal and can streak through her opponents easily. Either side of the plane form are razor sharp as the sharpened Inukaitu swords fold there with the edges outwards and can slice through just about anything. In this form, she gets up close and personal. The beam rifles fan outwards along the sides of the plane form, firing at whatever enemy target she comes close to. Finally, for the plane form, Cecil can launch a barrage of smoke bombs that help to cover her and her allies should they ever need a hasty retreat, or a surprise attack.
Outside her mecha, Cecil is a force to be reckoned with. She is a martial artist, quick on her feet and adaptable to just about any situation. She uses knives as her forte, but is a fine shot with her hand gun as well. Coupled with being lithe and fast, Cecil can usually take down her enemies within minutes. She's not to bad with computer systems as well, though she's by no means a hacker of any sort. However, she does have a high level of understanding and can bypass a handful of systems to get what she wants if need be.
Though Cecil is a good fighter, being outnumbered is her greatest weakness. Having to take on more than three or four opponents in hand to hand combat can tire her easily and she'll falter. In her mecha, her weaknesses lie with those that are faster, with strong ranged skills and sudden surprises. Taking her off guard will make her hesitate briefly, but it only takes a few seconds in a fight for the tide to turn. Her beam rifles only go so far. They never part with the mecha more than a few feet and their firing range isn't so great either. Missiles and the like have to be within range to even be fired upon with the beam rifles, which means getting dangerously close and having to move out of the way on her own most times. The Inukaitu metal is very strong, but the metal is a living being and can only take so much before 'breaking'. When the Inukaitu takes far too much damage, it will retreat towards the body of the mecha to 'heal', thus leaving a husk of a sword to try to fight with -which is nothing really-.
In addition, Cecil is heavily attached to her brother. Should anything happen to him at all during a fight, she will drop what she's doing and go after him, that includes if she's already engaged in a full on battle. If she absolutely cannot get to him for whatever reason, she'll be distracted in the fight, which leads to mistakes, which leads to injuries or worse. In the case that something should happen to her brother and she is told to disengage and leave him for whatever reason, Cecil has the tendency to disobey orders in such a scenario. Even so, Cecil does have difficulties with authority to begin with, doing as she pleases most times depending on the situation or what's being ordered. Even if she doesn't disobey outright, she will argue which leads to lost time that could have been spent better either fighting or retreating.
Cecil is usually easy going, but she's not entirely all cute and cuddly either. When she gets angry, you will know it. She speaks her mind no matter what the issue, and often times disagrees with high authority. Even so, she does follow her orders and she's very good at what she does, even if she doesn't like it. She's not in the business of putting her teammates in harms way and will avoid it if at all possible. Cecil often times will argue with the higher-ups regarding details of mission plans and other things, especially if she thinks there's too much risk involved. Her team is her family, especially her brother. Cecil treasures him as he is the only family they have left. Sometimes she can be a bother, following him around all the time, but as it stands, the two are hardly separated and when they are, Cecil is usually in a bad mood. The only time she's ever been separated from him was when she had infiltrated the Kiritine army many years ago. It was a challenge, and even more so partway through her undercover mission.
Despite her attachment to her brother, Cecil does enjoy the company of her other teammates. Though she's not a huge talker, she doesn't mind having a conversation with the others. A lot of times she'll just listen rather than talk, unless it really needs her attention. Those times are usually when she's disagreeing with something or someone on a certain subject matter. In addition to this, she's a rather quick thinker and can plan almost on the spot without need of anything else other than the events happening before her. Despite her having a rather colder front when first meeting her, she does have her soft side and enjoys smiling and laughing. This side of her is hardly shown though and most times her smile is only reserved for her brother. Also, she has a thing for plushies... don't ask why but the soft material is something she finds fascinating and enjoyable. When presented a plushie of any kind, her girlish side comes forth and she will even blush in such an event (though be careful because afterwards she'll probably give you the cold shoulder for making her turn into a tiny ten year old girl for a few moments).
She takes it upon herself to be the protector of everyone and rarely ever does she share her own worries or concerns or stress. Cecil has a terrible habit of letting it all build up and never saying a word about it. Cecil is great at keeping things to herself and a lot of times she doesn't even realize that she's been stressed out for days on end. The only warning sign is heavy fatigue, which even she brushes off as 'just a little tired'. It takes quite a bit of coaxing to get her to speak so that she'll feel better, even her brother has a hard time doing it. She tends to take on too much as well, thinking that it'll be easy and she doesn't need any help. Cecil doesn't ask for help either. She will always do things her own way, on her own. In addition to this, Cecil pushes herself to do the absolute best that she can in everything and even offers herself up for multiple tasks. Many times she's been denied by the ship captain because of her offering to do too much for a mission or whatever the task is at hand. She's not great at delegating. Her belief is that if she is not in charge of it in some way, it won't get done the right way.
This doesn't mean that she doesn't trust her teammates or anyone else on the ship. Cecil would trust her life in the hands of the other pilots she fights along side. It just means that she likes to have a hand in things because she's a bit OCD like that. She will never force herself onto the job though if she's been denied the ability to do it. Cecil will allow others to do the jobs assigned to them, though she will worry about it until its done and confirmation has been given that it was successful.
When Cecil was fifteen, she'd already known what she wanted to do with her life. She would join the army with her father and help serve her nation. Once she was enrolled and graduated two years later, she was given her first mission. Infiltrate the Kiritine army. She was shocked and scared at first, but knew there was really no way around it. With the rumors of the new alien entity and that the Kiritine nation planned to utilize the strange metal Inukaitu, it was an important role and someone had to do it. That someone just happened to be Cecil. Young and ambitious, Cecil was both intimidated and excited for such an opportunity. Taking up the job with every ounce of determination she could muster, Cecil served in the Kiritine army for many years. She rose up through the ranks only on sheer will and concentration for the one and only goal she'd been sent there to do.
Capture an Inukaitu mecha.
With her many years in the service of the Kiritine army, she had limited access to her real sources of information. Getting in touch with the Drastonian army was always nerve wracking. In addition to this, when she was twenty one years old, she got word that a Drastonian base had been annihilated. It was all she could do from breaking her hard worked image as a Kiritine patriot. Even more so when she learned that the base was where her father and mother had been stationed. With no time to really mourn the loss, Cecil forced herself to bury it all away and wait until she reunited with her brother to mourn for anyone.
Under the guise of a lieutenant of the Kiritine army, she was sent to a research facility to oversee the preparations of yet another fleet of mecha's with Inukaitu metal attached to them. New programs were being tested, new systems were implemented and the testing ground was an enormous open expanse of space just outside of Kiritine's one and only colonized nation. She was escorted there by the Kiritine's pride a joy, the monstrous vessel Vigilanti. On board this ship she briefly met the mecha team that piloted the newest mechs that had rolled off the line from the Kiritine industrial ports down on Earth. Two of those mechs were built with Inukaitu metals. It had been a brief thought to steal one of those mechs, but she pushed it aside as it was far too dangerous to even try. So, Cecil waited.
When she turned twenty four, Cecil had neared the final stages of her mission. Having built up a rapport with the Kiritine of being a ruthless, merciless woman, she had gained the utmost respect and trust from the Kiritine officials. With everything she'd built up, she threw it all to the wind and began her plot to steal the mecha. With her bit of knowledge about the computer systems and programs, she managed to hack into the mainframe system just briefly and change the coding on the mecha she wanted. The coding changed was what would allow her to enter the cockpit of the mecha without being killed on sight by the Inukaitu that was implemented on the machine. It also allowed her to communicate with the Inukaitu freely, unlocking it's restrictions, though she was fairly sure it was a dangerous move on her part. Even so, Cecil took the chance. Afterwards, she then took off for the machine, knowing that the mainframe system had detected her presence and would soon alert the General of the research station she was deployed on.
After sustaining some injuries, she managed to get into the cockpit of the mecha and take off from the loading bay, destroying the bay entirely. From there, she set her course to the Drastanian vessel, Nightengale. Eager to return to her brother's side because of the loss of the rest of their family, she made haste, despite her injuries. Once there, she knew it was only the start to a very long and grueling war. Even so, Cecil is determined to see it's end.
