⧖ THOUGHTS ⧗
"Honestly, I thought the days of fighting were over. With the Aogiri Tree gone, and only noncombatant ghouls roaming about, I assumed we would finally catch some peace. You can imagine my face when I was told that I was being sortied to the fourteenth ward because of reports of some renegade ghoul group stirring up some trouble. If I had the choice, I would decline the task and stayed in the twentieth, but naturally that wasn't an option. In any case, as much as I would love to head back home, I'm here on a mission. It's nothing personal, Shinku Fang, but I got things to do. Let's get this over with."

Despite her laid-back personality, all in all, she is very loyal to her cause. She absolutely hates the idea of disloyalty and cannot help but feel a small bit of resentment to anyone who would turn their backs to their cause. She possesses the kind of absolute loyalty that she would be willing and able to put her life down if it meant furthering the cause. Whether or not her cause is just or morally acceptable is irrelevant to her. She signed up for the cause and that means she agreed to the entirety of the group, all of its goods and bads.
In quite the contrast to her normal attitude, there are instances where Dual has been known to sort of break her character stereotype, if you will. Despite being either a completely lackadaisical person or being a complete dutiful person, she sometimes goes on a tangent of sorts when she sees something or someone that she considers to be overwhelmingly adorable and cute. Despite her sort of rough appearance, Dual absolutely loves cute things and beings. Her room even has a more cutesy design to it because, while she is a soldier and they are often in conflicts, she still needs some time to be herself.

Rock Candies ; Ever since she was younger, she had a love for rock candies. They were sweet and last decently long.
Taking Naps ; Being someone who enjoys being laid-back, she absolutely loves kicking back and taking a nice nap.
Smoking ; As nasty of a habit as it is, she does often take a smoke. When she doesnt have some candy in her mouth, she usually has a cigarette.
Fighting ; Don't misunderstand her, she is fully willing and able to fight as well as any other investigator. However, she would choose to sit back and watch if given the opportunity.
Disloyalty ; Being reluctant to do an action is one thing, but Dual absolutely despises anyone or anything that are not loyal to their cause. She considers things like surrender or giving in to torture as disloyal actions and dislikes those who cannot lay down their life their the cause they signed up for.
Black Coffee ; Much too bitter for her tastes. She prefers it sweeter.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Speed and Agility; Dual specializes in dealing damage over time by moving in quickly, striking, and backing out just as fast.
Instincts; In order to cover for her blind-spots created by the one missing poor, she has developed sharp instincts to determine where an enemy may strike from.
Loyalty; For better or for worse, Dual is willing to put down her life for her cause and for her allies. She will never betray her ideals and will strive to uphold them.
Ambidextrous; Unlike most people, Dual is able to use both her hands with equal ability. She has no preference on which hand she wields her tools, whether it be her quinque or her chopsticks.
W E A K N E S S E S
Ranged Combat; Although her speed makes up for some of it, fighting at a distance puts her at an overwhelming advantage. As good as she is with a sword, she is horrible with guns or the likes and is at a huge disadvantage.
Cute Things; Despite wanting to hold the appearance of a veteran of war, she holds a weak spot for cute appearances. She herself desires to wear cute clothes and the likes, but figures they wouldn't suit her. Alongside this fact, she is also easy to get embarrassed, much to her displeasure.
Bad Eye; Though she does her utmost best to make up for her lost eye using her instincts, it is still a solid fact that it is an impairment. She herself is also very self-conscious of her injured eye, hence the eye-patch. Not only is the eye an inconvenience due to it lowering her field of vision, it also has a lasting psychological effect. There are certain occasions, such as when she sees some ghouls, that cause her injured eye to throb and feel the pain from back when it was first cut. Of course, there is no actual damage as a result of the residual pain, but she still feels it. The amount of pain she feels can vary from a dull throbbing to a fiery burn. She doesn't know what causes which reaction.
F E A R S ;
Death; As with most people, Dual desires to live in peace and harmony. The idea of death frightens her just as it would anyone else.

__Dual Sumire's life was not fun filled with much action, save for some very explosive events. She grew up in a family where one parent, in this case her mother Sara, was a housewife whilst the other, her father Rein, worked as an investigator for the CCG. At the time, all she ever knew about her father's work was what her mother told her. That he was working to protect her from the bad people who wanted to hurt her. What she didn't understand was the fact that every time her father walked out that door in the morning, there was a high chance that he would never come back. Furthermore, every time he did return, it was most likely that he had to cut short another life so that he could make it back for dinner. However, just like any ignorant child, she was perfectly content with understanding only what was told to her. She never questioned the job, she never thought past the watered down explanation she was fed.
However, just like any tale of innocence, she was eventually forced to come to terms with reality. Just like any other day, her father had stepped out the door of their humble living quarters, but never came back. In his place came two men in suits, and a painful story. Rein had been killed whilst fighting off some rebellious ghouls and we were told that, all things considered, we were lucky that he could have an open casket. Dual's mother had been pregnant for several months before Rein had died, another daughter the doctors told them. Alas, this daughter would never be able to see the eyes of her father. When Luna was born, Dual was already nine years old. Much to young for what happened next. In order to make ends meet, caring for two young girls, Dual's mother had to work several part time jobs. A few years went by and the family had begun to start being able to handle themselves and pick up all the pieces.
Once more, disaster struck. When Dual was 16 years old, she received news that her mother had passed out while working. The following month, she passed away. This left 16 year old Dual and 7 year old Luna on their own to fend for themselves. At first, they were able to get by with all the money their mother had been saving up, but even that soon grew scarce. As the funds started to dwindle, Dual's desperation to keep both her sister and herself alive grew. Dual was always relatively gifted as a runner and so she put that to use. She would steal produce and other necessities and dash away before anyone could catch her. She was unstoppable, or so she thought. Three years after her mother's death, Dual was caught by an investigator of the CCG. It just so happened that he was passing by the fruit stand when she swiped a couple of apples.
This man, named Titas, rather than having Dual arrested, gave her a chance to redeem herself. He had her study at the academy, train as a member of the CCG, and any funds earned in her time, she would use to make sure both her and her sister could live happily. At first, she was reluctant and only did the job as a means of acquiring funds. However, somewhere down the line she grew to enjoy the time spent with Titas. However, on a patrol mission, they encountered a rebellious ghoul whom the CCG named Mr. Smiley, on account of his mask. Needless to say, the duo were outmatched. At first, Titas had made Dual stand by as he took Smiley on one on one. But he was knocked flat and almost died. Dual did her best to jump in and step up for him, but she didn't stand a chance. She couldn't land a single scratch, let alone take the ghoul out. She was quickly brushed aside, getting scratched on her left eye, leaving a horrendous scar and permanent damage. Much to her regrets, she couldn't do a thing. She fled the scene that day, and was not surprised when Titas was announced KIA. In light of this, she began to train. She never wanted to be in a situation where this would happen again. She would not let herself get overly attached, but she would get strong enough to defend those who are in trouble. She will no longer run away, she will lay down her life for another. This was her new found resolve and hope. This is what has brought her to where she is today.
