Description: Kasumi is a beautiful young woman with a tough exterior, but a heart of gold. Her pleasant smile can light up a room while her silky voice is sweet and soothing to listen to. She has bow shaped lips which are not too full and not too thin. She often can be seen wearing a white hair band to keep her long hair out of her face when not in her plane. When she’s in her plane, she ties it up and tucks it all inside her helmet for extra cushioning. She’s almost always wearing a sleeveless collared shirt with military camouflage patterns, as she doesn’t like the feeling of sleeves covering her arms. Her boots are usually black with reinforced toes just in case she goes down and has to engage in hand to hand combat against ground forces.
Kasumi’s frame is slender, but muscular. She has smooth, lightly sun kissed skin to compliment her dark brown hair. Her neck slopes down delicately into her shoulders. She has an hourglass figure with a slender waist and perfectly proportioned hips. She has a taught, round, muscular bottom and shapely legs. Given that she spends a good deal of time jogging and training in martial arts during her down time, this comes as no surprise to her fellow pilots. Her chest is not the biggest, but it’s not exactly small either. With a comfortable 34C bust, she’s satisfied with her chest size. However, she does sometimes wish that she had a D cup, as every other woman in her family has one.

Strengths: Kasumi is very tough, both mentally and physically. She is emotionally stable and has a strong sense of morals guiding her every word and action. She’s loyal to her country and her people, and is not afraid to go the distance for them. She’s also very brave, though she knows when to back down.
Weaknesses: Kasumi’s primary weakness is something she hides from everyone around her, including her superiors… Acrophobia. That’s right, despite the fact that she’s a pilot, she is afraid of heights. Kasumi joined the air force to purge herself of this fear, and though she has grown more tolerant of it, she usually keeps her plane below 5,000 feet. She also keeps her eyes forward to avoid looking at anything below her plane that can give her a sense of distance to the ground.
Kasumi has two other weaknesses as well, both of which are fairly well known to most of her fellow pilots. The first is that she has an inferiority complex towards her older brother Daisuke, who is also a pilot and a 1st Lieutenant in the Ylliorian Air Force. The second is that her sense of morals leads her to often disregard orders from above when she believes them to be without justification. If she thinks an order is bogus, she’ll ignore them and do what she feels is right for her countrymen and her homeland.
Personality: Kasumi is one of the sweetest women you’ll ever meet. However, if you insult her family or her country you’ll receive one of two gifts. One is a tongue lashing, and the other is a date with the pavement. Kasumi is very protective of her country and her family. Insulting either one to her is a direct assault on her personally, and one she will respond to immediately. She is highly stable, boasting a powerful intellect and a strong body. She’s emotionally stable and has a near indomitable willpower that cannot be bent or broken.
She’s typically very sweet despite her toughness. She speaks softly with humility, and isn’t afraid to admit her mistakes. She’s very well mannered and polite when you earn it, and if you earn her respect you’ll have it until/unless you abuse it. Kasumi has never been one to forgive and forget, and if you’ve done her wrong you can be sure she’ll refuse to help you regardless of how badly you need it. Though a bit spiteful when someone has earned her scorn, if there is any attempt to make amends, she’ll usually accept it straight away. Again, she’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet so long as you give her reason to treat you that way.
Biography: Kasumi was born in Traghin, a city on Yllior’s northeastern coastline about thirty miles from Surora Base. She is the third of four children. She has one older brother, an older sister, and a younger sister. Her parents never treated any child with favor, and so the siblings grew up with a sense of equality between them. This aided them in remaining grounded and helped them develop strong bonds which persist to this day. Daisuke, the oldest, formed a bond with Kasumi that remains unmatched. The two of them were inseparable when they were little, and often trained together in martial arts as well. Kasumi’s bond with Daisuke is one of the main reasons why she wanted to become a pilot, because he always dreamed of becoming one himself.
During Kasumi’s sub-adult years, she was exposed to the uglier side of life. She was bullied almost constantly. But thankfully her father is a master of numerous martial arts styles and taught her personally how to defend herself. Her father’s words were much stronger than those of the other children, and as such she learned at an early age not to be bothered by the bs that other kids sent her way. During her early high school years, this was very important for her. Her reputation as being stronger than most girls and being able to kick a guy’s ass made it to the ears of the football team captain of the school, and he decided to test the rumor. He ended up leaving the team due to “mysterious injuries.”
Kasumi began experimenting with her sexuality when she was sixteen. She had two boyfriends and two girlfriends before she finished her junior year of high school and found that she enjoyed both sides equally. Both held their respective qualities, though she enjoyed the brotherhood of the boys side a bit more than the girls side. She graduated high school at age seventeen and enrolled in the Air Force. She passed with flying colors, almost literally, but was medically discharged when she broke her leg during a training accident. Thankfully her father knew a few of the higher ups and managed to get her back in once she had recovered completely which took nearly one full year of physical therapy. Now that she’s back in action, she’s awaiting deployment.
