ăăă

Role:
Healer
"Thank god for this role. I don't need to hurt others, just to save them."
Hair Color:
Her hair is a dull brown color, much like the dead leaves in autumn. She prefers not to think about them that way, however, thinking that autumn is the season where things die and decay. She likes to think about them as a dark chestnut brown, and they turn a lighter shade under the light, appearing almost golden.
ăăă
Eye Color:
A lighter shade of her hair, the chestnut brown is more obvious in her eyes.
ăăă
Height:
5'5. She tends to be small and petite, though she hopes that she would grow taller and stronger quickly.
ăăă
Weight:
100lbs. She is quite light for a girl her age, being skinny and small. Her weight surprisingly doesn't bother her, as it has allowed her to do many things, like climbing trees without needing to worry about her weight breaking the branches.
Tattoos:
None. She doesn't like them that much.
ăăă
Piercings:
None. She was thinking about getting her ears pierced later in life, if the mess clears up.
ăăă
Scars:
A few small faded ones from her failed attempts at taming cats and climbing tree, a few big ones from fights when she was too careless. Otherwise her skin is pretty much unblemished.
ăăă
Oddities:
She needs to wear her scarf nearly all the time, as it was a souvenir from her childhood. She would go to great lengths to get it back if it was ever lost.
Personality:
{Naive, Optimistic, Kind, Curious}
Childish and Naive, it is easy to trick Atsuko into believing nearly everything really. Her imagination has no bounds and she would believe what anyone told her, thinking that there were no bad people in the world. Even if she was hurt by that many times, she never stops believing that the people are all good deep down inside, and that there was no one who meant to hurt her. In battle, if someone managed to hurt her by accident or not, she would always dismiss it as a simple mistake on her part. Believing in the good of people had gotten her injured so many times, but she never stopped.
Being optimistic, there is hardly a time where you couldn't see her smiling. She likes to think of the best in situations, even if they seem like they really couldn't get any worse than they are. She never stops smiling brightly, partly for herself and partly she was worried that she would be a burden to others if she mopes all the time. If things were already that bad, the least they need is another person crying over it. Atsuko puts on a strong front of smiles even when she is broken and crying inside.
And that happens frequently, because of her kind nature. If a person was injured, she would try to save them even if they were on a enemy team. She believes that no one should suffer, and often she was brought to tears if she could not save someone from their deaths. Being compassionate, Atsuko is the type of person who would weep for a enemy death.
She is often extremely curious, wishing to find everything about the matter she is interested in. When she becomes passionate about something, its hard to talk her out of it. She would nearly go to the ends of the earth to find out more information for the subject she loved. Now, its insects, but her whims might change sooner or later.

Hobbies:
Hair - She loves playing with her soft strands of hair, twirling them on her finger or combing them into many different hairstyles in her leisure. She likes to do that to others too, if they let her.
Reading - Its not rare that you might catch Atsuko in doing that activity, avidly reading with a hunger for more knowledge. Usually, those books are about fantasy, with magical themes and a happy ending. She wishes that life would be like that, so she loves reading those books. Sometimes the books are about her latest craze, however.
Exploring - She likes to explore every nook and cranny of the places they go to, often recording her findings on a map. It helps with their strategy a little and provides her with something to get her mind off, so that was one of her favourite activities.
ăăăăăă
Habits:
Hair- Atsuko absolutely enjoys twirling her hair between her fingers and would do that subconsciously most of the time.
Scarf - She holds on to it securely as if afraid that it would be whipped away by the wind. Its long and flowing, so she always has a fear that it would fly off if she didn't hold it tight enough to her. And if someone tries to snatch it away, be careful. Its one of the only times when Atsuko would use her powers for hurting rather than healing others to defend her scarf, but she always apologises afterward.
Daydreaming - Her mind just drifts off for sometimes no reason at all. Daydreaming has often given her a way to escape reality and she does that most of the time if she was not required to pay attention. It can be pretty annoying at times when she needs the person to repeat their words several times before she snaps back to attention, but she tries her best to keep it under control in meetings.
ăăăăă
Likes/Loves:
- Sweets - Like any average girl, Atsuko absolutely adores sweets. She could consume about many times her body weight if she was nervous, and she could not get enough of those candied delights, no matter what shape or color they were.
- Reading - They really transport her into another universe where she has no worries and could just enjoy herself. She loves reading as a form of going into a new world.
- Smiles - She thinks they are the prettiest things in the world. A true smile shows that you are brave enough to overcome the sadness and still have hopes for a better future, it shows that you were strong enough to live on.
- Animals - She loves them, especially cats, even if they scratch her sometimes. Animals have a tendency to like her too, hardly running away from her when she is close to them and not as easily startled when she moves. The birds could come and balance on her finger and the animals trust her enough to eat from her hand.
- Spring - Its the season where everything comes to life again and things become beautiful. Spring is her favourite season and Atsuko always liked to go out there when it comes to just play outside after a long winter.
- Autumn - To her, its the season of death and decay. Many unpleasant things happened to her in that season, and she prefers not to be reminded of them, hardly venturing out when the season comes due to the unpleasant memories that haunt her.
- Hurting others - She only uses that as a last resort if anyone gets on her nerves too much by trying to snatch her scarf. Its the only time she would use it and she would regret it later and apologise, no matter how justified she was for doing that.
Weaknesses: (what are they bad at- as many or more than strengths)
In a renowned family of assassins, a girl was born with bright red eyes. She was named Atsuko, for warm child, a seemingly harmless alias to cover their inner bloodlust. Her whole family was named that way, and names are simply convenient illusions. She was taught like her many siblings, the ways of how to kill silently and efficiently, and how to manipulate the elements at her fingertips. Atsuko was talented, and learned fast and mastering them at an almost impossible speed. She was better at it than any of her siblings, and it was nearly obvious that she was going to be the next head of the house. When they let her participate in battles against other clans, she killed like a demon, her favorite scarf dyed a bright red with blood. She was given an alias, Jikogu Shojou for hell girl, from the amount of people she sent to their ends.
That was when the incident happened, in a windy day of autumn. She found a family of five that were starving and cold, and she decided to take care of them, hiding from her parents. She wasn't so sure why she did it then, perhaps it was simply another one of her whims, but she did it nevertheless. As she was the youngest in her family, she decided on taking on the role of the three children's 'big sister' attempting to make them smile with her many antics. With them, she seemed to rid herself of her bloodlust and become a normal girl, even allowing them to teach her how to heal. They taught her many things, like how to help instead of hurting others, and they were the main part that made her who she was today. They even liked her scarf, telling her that red was the 'color of a hero' instead of then cold blooded monster she always thought she was.
However, as the weather was getting colder and nearing the end of autumn, Atsuko could hardly see the family any longer without getting caught. Her parents had noticed her abnormal behavior and reluctance to kill, and when her eyes faded of their usual red into a light chestnut brown, that was probably the last straw. They would not let a possible successor to their bloodline just get ruined like that. A search was conducted to find the people who had been affecting her, and unfortunately the family was found, along with several other people. They tortured the innocent people in front of Atsuko's eyes, hoping that when she saw the scene, her heart would harden again.
But it never did. Instead her heart broke into millions of pieces. She was only twelve then, and the incident scarred her for life. She gave up becoming an assassin like the rest of her family and escaped, devoting her life to only healing and helping others. Soon after, she joined the clan Envoy, and never decided to leave, them becoming something of a family to her. She vowed never to use the things she learned in her family again, unless it was absolutely necessary.
