Age: nineteen
Gender: female
Sexual Orientation: bisexual
Species: zoroark
Ability: illusion
Moveset:
night slash- Both of Rome's hands glow crimson and it slashes the opponent with one of them. Rome can use this almost indefinitely, though it does take a few moments to recharge.
imprison- Rome creates an illusionary 'prison' that keeps the opponent from moving for multiple turns, or roughly two minutes. This prison is almost impossible to avoid or break.
punishment- A dark multi-ended whip materializes into Rome's hand. It is made of a dark leathery material, and when lashed, creates a pulse of dark power that cuts through both opponent and nearby objects.
night daze- Rome's eyes glow light blue and her body becomes surrounded by a crimson aura. She then raises her arms above her head. When she does, the aura around her forearms gets thicker. They she lowers her arms toward the ground. A pink and crimson glowing forcefield of energy appears from the aura around Rome's arms and grows larger, spreading all around her. The thicker the aura is around Rome's arms, the more powerful the attack becomes. [signature attack]
Personality:
Rome is tricky for a living. Added to her career of magic 'tricks' and illusions, she has a serious problem with trust and avoids growing close to many people- on the road, she doesn't have a chance to settle down with anyone anyway. As a performer, Rome is required to be very adaptable and as such is able to come up with a solution to most (simple) problems on the spot. However, she is rather impulsive as well and sometimes her choices end up in poor long-term results. As someone with a completely different true identity, she also has a bad habit of little white lies, as well as some serious ones. However, she is very persuasive and is able to convince people to give her things- money, attention, an alibi. She isn't a very good team player either, having been on her own for a long time, and when she needs backup is able to bend people to her will temporarily. Rome cannot stand the idea of someone close to her being hurt on her account, and as such keeps her backup limited to passerby she can manipulate. Rome has also become rather overdramatic, and tends to exaggerate things, whether it's for show or in a serious situation. She adores playing victim, and made a living as a young child by begging and stealing, along with 'asking' for things and they being given to her. Rome is uncomfortable with being vulnerable; she hides behind a multitude of 'characters'- separate personalities that keep her safe despite many people trying to dissect her.

Appearance:
Rome's appearance is often very strongly deviating from her true face. In her performances, she casts a faint illusion over her own body like a cloak, making it masculine in frame and neutral in clothing- her performance uniform is very fancy and seems to remain unblemished no matter what tricks she goes through. Large plumes of furs make up her signature 'gypsy scarf', a magical contraption with as many tricks as Rome herself. She loves dressing in layers, with a tight-fitting grey top under her patterned red vest and black mini-jacket. She also wears long black sleeves with red trim at the top, and silken red gloves to complete the look. On her hips rests a large black bow, below sit thigh-highs and black beads. She also wears a black garment that sits like a skirt but is short in the front and hangs down, cape-like, in the back. Black heels finish off the look, adding a few inches to Rome's short, 5-foot height. Her audiences often debate on the true nature of her gender, which Rome uses to hide her identity further.
Her mask is Rome's pride and joy- a magical 'talisman' passed down through her Gijinka heritage. An embellished fox design with crimson, ageless flowers perched elegantly along the sides has masked the identity of the Zoroark Gijinka performers for ages- in fact, it's one of the most Pokemon-like attributes about the family, with most of their Pokemon half lying in illusions and magic. However, the 'scarf' that they use for performances is supposedly the signature Zoroark hair that the Hamilton family gave up in exchange to walk with humans once the HoD surfaced. Now, as the legend goes, they have other mysterious powers- one which may include their uncanny powers of persuasion. It is also rumored that the Hamiltons obtained their oddly beautiful features from the Pokemon. Rome has definitely not been skipped over by the family legend- her large blue eyes, doll-like complexion and silken black hair is the tribute to this. She is also rather curvy despite her otherwise slim frame. Her illusions do an excellent job of disguising this during her performances.
