Name: Siana Elkiana Modsain, sister to Kalina Mika Modsain.
Nicknames: Siar
Age: 19
Birthday: March 20th
Sign: Pisces
Blood Type: A
Fav. Food: Cookies and cream ice cream with Oreos in it. Delicious!
Hated Food: Anything that sparkles or shines. There is obviously something wrong with that food.
School: Sovereign Heights

HOBBIES
Singing-Siar listens to a song over and over until she gets every single word and note memorized. Then she sings it, and she will sound better than decent. She takes voice lessons right after Kalina, her adopted sister, has no preference on music, and does plan to go professional...

Theme Parks-Siar is obsessed with theme parks. She'll build virtual rollercoasters, draw a theme park design, and so on...once every two months, she begs her parents to take her to a theme park, and they usually do.

Gymnastics-Siar isn't very good at it, as she doesn't plan to compete, but she does a few hours a week in gymnastics. She then looks up stuff about gymnastics. And on and on...

Virtues:
I'll Do It Right-Siar is corrective. It's in her nature. She can't stand something done wrong, and so perfects things.
For example, if she's noted that one Senshi is weaker to an attack from above then to the sides, she'll attempt to always attack Senshi from above, because that's where they're weaker.
Essentially, Siar is a perfectionist, and this can be a very debilitating thing as well as a virtue.

Like A Ninja-Siar has a gift of blending into the background. Nobody will really notice her if she doesn't want to be noticed, and this helps Siar pick up on stuff, as well as avoid some of the people she doesn't like.
"Invisibility...is the way...of the ninja."

I Know What's Good For Me-Siar is not stupid. She doesn't run into things blindly, she prefers to watch from the sidelines and enter when it's least expected...
Essentially, Siar is cautious. This is a very good thing in her classes, as she previously tended to end up exploding most stuff she worked with in Chemistry.

Flaws:
Loneliness Invades-She'll never admit it, but Siar grew so used to being with Alana and never being lonely that when they suddenly grew apart, it came as a huge shock! She didn't talk to anyone, as she had a sister to talk to. Nobody really likes her, and at the moment, she's not inclined to like them either...because they've left her lonely.

Antisocial-Because she stuck with Alana for so long, Siar never really learned how to deal with people, despite her parent's best attempts. And suddenly she's without her constant companion, and everything is different...
Siar does not understand social graces, or anything similar, and she's quite unpopular...

Perfectionist-Everything has to be correct, or Siar refuses to do it. Because if it's not perfect, it's gonna fail anyway, and why should she want it blamed on her?
Everything must be put in its' proper place, everything must be folded three ways every time, and you must put the milk in before the cereal. Because that's just how Siar rolls.

You Are Mine, I Work Alone-Siar does not work with people. Siar works alone, and woe to the person who tries to make her think otherwise. Siar does not do well if she's doing something with other people, and will never do it together if she gets a chance to do it herself. (Well, she'll work with Alana, but Alana's the single exception.)
Weakness.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
User Image (hair's a bit off, but this is Siar)
Eyes: Obsidian black.
Hair: 226. Raven black-as in, black with a blue tint. She has her natural orange coming out more now, though, in tips and streaks.
Face: Delicate and always, always pouting. It holds a certain youth.
Body: Pale. Skinny.

LIEUTENANT APATITE

Name: Lieutenant Apatite
Challenge: Everything's jaded for me...

Weapon STAGES:
1.Yoyo. (Jade doesn't know how to use a yoyo. She will hold the string and spin the yoyo in a circle.)
2. Bladed yoyo.
3. Shuriken on a string.
4. DOUBLE SHURIKEN on a string.

COLORS: Black and teal/jade.
UNIFORM: X, X, X, X, X, X, X
I want Apatite to look like a ninja (the third and last pictures), in keeping with her weapon, but I think that she should start out as wearing something like this and have it slowly become the ninja outfit.

FAMILY


FATHER
Mr. Mike Stuart Modsain is totally to blame for Siar's odd name. He's a computer programmer and works for a company called Aperture Parts Programming. Has red-orange hair that he wears short and spiky. He's 38 years old.

MOTHER
Mrs. Celia Modsain works at the Destiny City equivalent to Seaworld. She is 38 years old.
Raven-haired, black-eyed, tanned, fit.
SISTER
Kalina Modsain is Siar's trusted partner. The two are normally inseparable, but have been fighting for the past few months. However, when together, these sisters conquer singing competitions like they're nothing, even though Siar's voice is just a few notches below where Kalina's is...

Okay, before I crit any of the rest of this, you do realize that Elkiana is very similar to Elke Arma, AKA Sailor Virgo, right? Elke's nickname is also Elkie, and she is also wonderfully sweet and friendly and never tells lies. She also is the shoulder that a lot of people cry on. The name mixed with those traits makes this come off as 'Elke Arma is secretly depressed and joined the Negaverse'. And considering Elke is a zodiac senshi, and therefore a large part of the shop's plot, I highly doubt that a character similar to her is going to get in, even if they do happen to be secretly depressed.

Secondly, very, VERY few people would EVER willingly give their daughter the middle name 'Pyroduck', even if they forgot what name they had intended to give their daughter. I know you like unusual names, but Pyroduck is really a bit far and will need a lot more justification than 'they forgot'. If I forgot and blurted out 'Pyroduck', I would legally change my child's name, no matter how fun and spontaneous I happened to be. A child whose middle name is 'Pyroduck' might as well be a child whose middle name is 'Please beat me up and make quacking noises'.

About her personality, characters that are a contradiction are often hard to pull off. When I read Elkiana's profile, I get the feeling that she's too opposite. Her inner self really doesn't seem to have anything in common at all with her outer self! What caused such a drastic difference? I could possibly see Elkiana acting nice on the outside, but I really can't see her being motivated to actually go and meet people if she thinks they're all scum. Even if she wants to be recognized, there's little motivation to associate with them.

Also, how is her need to do things right a weakness? The need to do things right is a virtue in my eyes, as it's motivation to succeed. I feel this trait is quite poorly worded and needs more explaining. Why does pride motivate her to transform right in front of a civilian? In my opinion, that's not 'doing things correctly and finishing them off', that's 'being a moron'. What about her pride makes her do this?

Back again!

Siar seems to be sort of all over the place still. She makes connections with everyone but also lies to everyone she meets? This seems to be disparate, as it's incredibly difficult to lie about everything (especially when you don't even bother to forge report cards) without being found out. And according to you, Siar not only lies about everything, but gets away with it and still is able to build trust with everyone she meets? That doesn't sound so much impressive as impossible.

Also, you mention that though she's ready to improve what she's depressed about, you don't actually mention what she is depressed about or how these connections she's making will help. And usually if you're ready to improve your depression, that's a step in the right direction to actually improving it, but she seems to be making no progress at all. Why not?

For I'll Do it Right, maybe 'Siar is a perfectionist' would be a better term. Also, why is she like this? It's in her nature, but how did it get to be in her nature? And if she's a perfectionist, why are her grades poor, or at least poorer than her sister's?

For You Are Mine, I Work Alone, doesn't she work with her sister in singing competitions and isn't she almost inseparable with her? She clearly does not work alone, in fact, I think the constant influence of her sister would make her more prone to being lonely. And if she makes tons of connections with people, why does she want to work alone anyway?

I would be careful about these girls' musical prowess as well. They conquer singing competitions like they're nothing, but they're in Meadowview? They're not somehow famous or publicly recognized? How long have they been taking lessons?

You missed an Elkie in the description of Siar's father. I also think you need hobbies that tie into each other more- Singing and theme parks are disparate. Also, try thinking of maybe one more hobby, flaw, and virtue. You have the bare minimum here, which makes Siar seem a bit flat. However, she does seem much less like Elke Arma, so well done there! :'DDD
