Personality
Brooding and rather unattentive, Asuki is often withdrawn to herself rather than looking out at the world around her, and can easily lose herself in the middle of a conversation, forgetting what it was and who she was talking to.. She occasionally has been known to be called a half-wit due to her constant 'phase-outs' and concentration problems that stem from this, especially when it happens to occur in the middle of a class or project.
But that's only the outside look. Further in you would find a strategic planner, a commander the excels at fighting and manouvering, someone who will think everything she does through. She puts up the 'facade' of slowness and dimwittery for everyone to read and discard her. She gets angry very slowly, usually taking a long time to even get annoyed, but when someone finally manages to put the spark that creates the inferno she can react harshly, angrily lashing out with no holding back..... To put it simply, disciplinary actions for what she did are the least of what she was put under.
She is also usually helpful when in her 'guise', going out of her way to help when she can, and being always accepting. Although in reality she only sees obstacles and allies. Differentiated by whether you were with her, on her side, or against her. She has little understanding of neutrality, therefore, and will press for an actual decision on either side of the fence.
When acting normally, she can be described most easily as 'cold and calculating'. Seemingly having little feeling outside her drive to succeed and her anger when it actually surfaces. She can and will pretend to most people, but she fails to feel anything like respect or love for anyone. She has locked herself up to the largest extent possible, seemingly not wanting to actually reveal how she really is.
She is very organized, and any plan or operation she is in, even when she is supposed to be doing her spacing out act, she tries to organize completely. Making sure everything is on-time and in the right place, unable to stand failing in either regard.
She also has a deep fear of failure. Something that goes into both faces. She can't abide to have failed, or be seen as a failure. Even if she is considered a dimwit, no-one can refute the grades she has received. This she holds onto every time she comes close, that she hasn't failed before.
Oh, and before I forget, doesn't matter which 'mode' she's in. She dislikes 'girly' stuff. Absolutely.
Brief Description
Black hair with a purple tint adorns the pale face of Asuki. Her body a mixture of slim grace and wiry toughness, she is easily the graceful athletic build. The hair frames deep, dark-blue eyes, alternatingly cold or warm, depending on the way she is acting.
She normally wears the school-uniform, the skirt and shirt of Cenriel Academy. Although when in casual mode, usually wears a simple oversized sweater and baggy pants...
She usually is found with a spaced out expression on her face unless something is holding her attention. And will wear a lot of oversized or generally baggy clothes, except to school where she is forced to wear the uniform.
Skill(s)/Abilities
Excellent in most physical pursuits, Asuki is high in all track, gymnastic or other kinds of sports. From raquet sports to dancing and swimming. Despite her facade of non-attention. To most people it seems that she suddenly brightens up, connects to the world when one of the sporting events is on, and it's one of the few times that she doesn't even pretend to be not paying attention.
She especially excels at Martial Arts and Kendo. Being extremely skilled at it.
She is, on the other hand, not great at maths and literature, good enough to pass but not stunningly so. While she is extremely logical and can figure logical puzzles and brain exercises out pretty quickly, she flounders with maths, having decided that it gets 'more illogical' as it goes.
She also doesn't appear to like tackling multiple things at once, and although she is capable doing so, she dislikes it extensively.
Likes
Sports - She enjoys the challenge and competitivety and how hard it presses her. Especially the rush of adrenaline when two people are neck and neck, duking it out to decide the final result...
Strategic Games - Anything from Chess through to war simulations. The more logic necessary for the completion, the more she enjoys it. Especially as she's good at it.
Her Mask - Yes, she adores it. No more on that needs to be said.
Winning - You thought otherwise? She'll fight tooth and nail to do so, and it has driven her beyond what she'd otherwise do just to succeed. It almost seems like an obsession with her.
Order - If it's not ordered, it's messy. If you lose the order of your schedule, you're late... So being ordered is the most useful thing, right? Try looking into her room. Everything is catagorized. Completely.
Dislikes
Mathematics - She deems it highly illogical. She also struggles to some extent with the more complicated parts of it, which makes her like it even less.
History - She can't understand the fixation of the human race with the past. It's something that has been done already, and the only reason she can see for wanting to deal with something from the past is... things like her mask.
The way she acts - Yeah. She can't remember why she decided to act like this sometimes. It feels so degrading and downputting. Yeah. That's internal dialogue. No, I don't believe a word of it. ;-)
Horror movies, etc - She just ... doesn't get them. They're half boring and half annoying. Maybe it's because she's usually expecting trouble/monsters before they jump out? Might have something to do with it.
Make Up - It's called ruining your natural beauty, to her. And it feels REALLY yucky. And .... It's girly. Which might have something to do with her not liking it.
Phobias
Failure - Always a dreaded fear for her, and something she attempts to avoid at all costs. To lost, to fail, is what she fears more than anything else. If it were to happen? Well, we'll just have to find that out, won't we? Being helpless is an additional part of this phobia. The ability to be unable to stop something happening.
Apathy - To have no drive to do anything. The idea of a meaningless life with nothing that is interesting horrifies her. Certainly gets to her more than the normal Horror. ;-)
Heights - Yeah, she don't like the tall towers. Although not as pronounced as the other two phobias, she dislikes the dizzying effect and the involuntary thoughts of what would happen if she slipped....
Undeath(Of a sort) - If she slices a head off, and it keeps coming, she'll freak. Not a phobia she encounters in real life, or even gets bothered with when seeing it in shows, but something she has nightmares about.
History
Asuki was born in a high class family, her father a rich socialist and her mother a top class sportswoman. Ever since a young age they've been pushing her to be the best she can be, especially in the sports department. Second best was never enough for them. She had to win, had to succeed both in grades and in sports. And everything else she does.
All the pressure caused her to slowly fold 'inwards', becoming cold and ruthless to succeed and fulfill her parents wishes. Not only that, but she would use any and all advantages she could muster to succeed. Thus she made her way through primary school and into High School.
Known at that point as the cold and easily annoyable beauty, or the latest Ice Queen, she ruthlessly achieved major awards in several sports in her first year, still freezing her emotions so that she could succeed.
However, as she moved up through the school ladders, she found that she wasn't quite as unbeatable as she had thought, and struggled. By the second year the pressure was paralysing her, and despite making it to the top three in all sports she participated in, she failed to properly take the awards.
This was followed by some 'disappointment' by her parents, their beautiful unbeatable champion had proven not quite so good. By the time she turned 17 during Year 11, she was struggling to keep her spot as the all round brilliant sportswoman. Every failure was a set back and another bag of pressure sitting fairly on her shoulders. And slowly, she crumpled. Half way through that year, with her scores all over dipping and sagging, she ran away.
For the next few days she lived on the side-streets, miserable and ignored. She hid from all attempts to find her, deciding that a life of beggary was better than failing and falling further and further, bit by bit.
After nearly a month of beggary, depression having long set in, something in her mind seemed to ... break, and she decided it was better if she died. It was thus that she was standing on the top of the highest tower she could climb, getting the courage up to take the one step required to take her over the side.
Then, a hand. A hand that held her back. In that moment she tugged, desperately trying to toss herself over the edge. She didn't want to be saved. But the man was far too strong for her to escape the grip of, and she was pulled back inside.
Once she had been taken from the edge, all the energy that had taken her there slowly drained out. And she allowed herself to be taken care of with a blank eyed stare. She seemed not to really be with reality..
And then. Then he brought out the most beautiful mask she had ever seen. He gave it to her, claiming to have waited for a long time to find someone for this mask. In askance, she wondered why he would need to find 'someone for the mask'. But she found out before too long...
It was that very night when she first wore The Chariot, felt it's power and gave willingly in to the personality that was in the mask. A personality that had the strength to care not what others said about them. The next morning it was that she talked once more with the man who had given her this mask. He explained his quest, him and his colleagues quest to find the Grace Stone.
She chose willingly to help him, as he probably knew she would. And with The Chariot, she returned to her home. But this time. This time there was another mask she wore. A mask of seeming lack of awareness. The Ice Queen had melted, it was said, and she had lost something of the fire she had once had. Except for one place.
In the arena, no matter the sport, she was stronger than ever. Thus it was she entered her final year at Cenriel. An absentminded girl who could have been the Queen, but lost something the days she disappeared. No one knew, at all, that she hadn't just lost something... But gained something as well....
