Eyes: Black
Eyes: green
Height: 5'
Weight: 62 lbs
Age: 12
Physical Description:
Neko has always been on the smaller side of things. She was quick to spout up, but has always had trouble keeping on any form of weight to her. She stands roughly at just shy of five feet with her weight being around sixty pounds. They are fairly pale for living in the sands, and are known to catch a sunburn from time to time due to this. They have many scars on their body for being their age, as they have often found themselves on the losing end of scraps. Their eyes are a pale green that tends to pop out from behind the short curtain of silky black hair on their head. They can often be found to have some sort of dirt marks or dust on them.
Mental Description:
Neko is a kind hearted girl, with big ambitions. She is a quick learner, for better or worse. She tends to remain quiet in all social events, preferring to listen rather than speak. However, this changes drastically in any place that calls for either intelligence or if she believes there has been a misjustice. Being a dreamer, she tends to think of people as inherently good hearted and is known to stand up for those who have been wronged. While not physically proficient, she is not one to shy away from a fight either. Though if it is a conversation to be had she's as timid as can be, especially if it has to do with anything personal.
History:
Neko grew up having very little, and everything to gain. When she was around the age of five, her mother who had raised her up until that point passed away from a sickness. She bounced from orphanage to orphanage, as her dad was a mystery to her and could not be contacted. She tried her best to stay positive throughout all this, making friends and studying hard in general classes. However, around her tenth birthday she was kicked out of the most recent orphanage for another fight. While she swears it was only to defend her friend, the administrators would have none of it. She had been on the streets for a little while, still attending classes but seemingly less interested than before. That was when she decided that she wanted to make a change, a difference, and so she signed up for the academy. Now, she's looking to learn about how she can change the world around her for the better.
Benevolent application-
Fighting wasn't.. uncommon for Neko. In fact anyone growing up with way she did would have plenty of scrapes and scars from hard years of just fighting to survive. However, what has always been unique about Neko, was the cause of action.
She never was one to pick a fight, or even attempt to, give her stature. But she was quick to jump in when someone she considered a friend was in danger. One such time, was the last fight she was in at her previous orphanage.
She found herself walking into a fight that had broken out in the bunks. Not knowing the situation, this caught Neko off guard entirely. However, she could see several kids beating on her friend Tsuni. This sent her into a fury, she ran over and began to jump into action.
While she knew she'd not win, she could block those girls from beating her friend. She threw herself into the fray and began to push back those around her friend. It unfortunately was short lived for Neko.
While being pummeled by several girls, Neko reached out and held her friend Tsuni 's hand. Squeezing tightly and refusing to let her feel alone. As she slipped into unconsciousness her hand lit up a pale green coloration.
Tsuni and the other girls hadn't a clue what happened but somehow Tsuni walked away without injury. Neko on the other hand, as well as the one girl she got the jump on, were not so lucky.
After giving it some thought, Neko remembered a story her mother used to tell about Neko's father. She used to say, "your father came from a powerful family." While Neko had thought this meant some sort of fame, she was now beginning to think.. maybe it was another kind of power.
