Hobbies:
Gothic Fashion
Cerise's parents were part of the first goth/punk movements in the 90's, and as such, they have passed their sense of fashion on to their daughter. Young as she is, this hobby usually manifests less in the research and purchasing of the fashion and more as dressing up in that fashion. Cerise will change her outfit three to four times on weekends, depending on her mood, and at least once when she gets home from school on the weekdays. She loves the way she feels in the lace and leather and silk. She feels fierce like her father. Elegant like her mother. And while she doesn't really have the words quite yet for those feelings, she knows that they exist within her. So she changes her outfits based on her moods. Proper Victorian gowns in black damask with matching fascinators for her tea parties, a black sheath dress with matching lace leggings and flats for walks with her mother, oversized black sweaters with skeleton jammie pants when she watches movies with her dad. It makes more laundry for her parents, but they don't mind.

Manga
Specifically, overly cutesy girl manga set in bakeries and cafes. While Cerise prefers black and muted tones on herself, she loves the look of pastels everywhere else. And not just that, but the artwork fascinates her as well. The huge, bright, expressive eyes, the way the hair seems to flow even though nothing is really moving. The scenery, the clothing, even the sweets that the artists draw all look so appealing to her! And she loves the storylines as well. Boys and friendships and bakery adventures. It's all so sweet and fun for Cerise to read! And being so young, the abundance of pictures in place of words to set the scene makes it much easier for her to understand while still telling a story with more interest than actual children's books. So when Cerise sees a saccharine pink cover of the latest girly manga in the store, she begs her mother to buy it for her. And being a Dark Princess of All She Surveys, she gets it.

Collections
Cerise is... a bit of a hoarder. If she sees a pretty leaf or rock, she picks it up and stashes it in a basket that she carries around for just such finds. She keeps all of her artwork too, and actually has a drawer in her closet slotted just for that. She calls it collection maybe because she doesn't know what a hoarder actually is, and her parents aren't about to tell her. So far she collects pretty leaves, pretty rocks, windchimes, manga, glass figurines, food-shaped erasers, gel pens, and squishable toys. Collections, however, morph and change. For instance, the gel pens are a new addition, and prior to that, it was pens with decorations on top of them. Cerise donates collections that she no longer wants to daycares in the instances of art supplies and decorations, and releases the rest back into nature when it comes to things like rocks and leaves.

Virtues:
Curious
Cerise is an infinitely curious little girl, and as such, she is always asking a million questions. She just wants to understand the way that the world works. This has been a boon to her as it has opened her up to many experiences that other seven-year-olds may not have gotten. Like helping her mother craft the extravagant gowns that she makes for the both of them. Cerise was curious about how her mother took bolts of fabric and magically made a dress, and now she's being taught how to take measurements, run a straight stitch in scrap fabric, and other little things around the sewing machine. In school, her curiosity manifests in endless questions and frequent trips to the library to answer those questions that the teachers get tired of answering.

Fast Learning Curve
Because she is always so curious, Cerise has developed a bit of a wicked little learning curve. While she still needs to work at it, she certainly tends to pick things up just a touch faster than the average kindergartener. Of course, this depends on the skill she's working on. For instance, it only took her a week to learn how to stitch a straight line with her mother, and after a month she had made her own pillowcase, but she's still a long way and several years away from making any garments. She's especially good with learning facts and trivia, as this doesn't rely on her very short arms and tenuous grasp of fine motor skills.

Resourceful
Cerise's curiosity has made her quite resourceful. Adults sometimes get tired of answering her endless questions, so she has had to come up with ways to answer them herself. She knows Knightside's library like the back of her hand. She can also navigate google pretty well (with parent supervision) and is able to answer her own questions in one of those two places. This means that when she has a question, Cerise know exactly how to answer it without relying on grown-ups to do it for her. Being resourceful also helps her outside of researching and looking into her questions. It means that she is able to find unconventional ways to get what she what she needs done. No room in her room for new collections? Make her other collections into shelves to hold the new collections. Many of her manga are currently stacked and unreadable because they are holding jars of things.

Flaws:
Imposing
While certainly not with her statue, Cerise can still be a little bit imposing. That is, she tends to be an imposition. Often times Cerise will get so excited that she will blurt out in class or butt into conversations that were hers, often times to offer her opinion or any facts she might know about the topic. She might also physically impose on others like if two kids are playing together she'll invite herself over and play with them whether they want it or not. Not because she wants to be annoying, of course, but that doesn't stop her from annoying others. At the tender age of 7, she has yet to really put a leash on this tendency.

Impulsive
It might be a facet of her age or a part of who she is, but Cerise doesn't always think before she acts. Often times she doesn't think at all. Basically, this means that Cerise ends up in a lot of trouble and doesn't always understand why. She might think of something really fun and cool to add to a classroom discussion and instead of raising her hand and waiting, Cerise will just blurt out what she's thinking. Oe when she's playing, she'll think it's a great idea to just bodily tackle her friend with no warning. This tendency to not think can often time end up not only with her in trouble, but with her and someone else really hurt.

Moody
Cerise can be like a tiny teenager sometimes, and end up in a fussy mood without warning. Usually, it's after being scolded, but not always. It can be after being told no. Or even after being asked to wait a second. This means that it can be very difficult and in some cases frustrating for adults and older kids to have to deal with her. When Cerise gets in these moods she refuses to talk to anyone and gives the person she's angry with the cold shoulder. She will also stomp around, slam doors, and snap at anyone else.
Unfortunately, no one has found a way to snap Cerise out of these moods, so all they can do is wait for her to come out of them and apologize for her behavior.

Eyes: Lovely round eyes that always seem to smile. Baby pink in color

Hair: Champagne, usually up in space buns or in the ornate Victorian styles her mother designs for her.

Face: So much baby fat. Shape as of yet undetermined.

Clothes: Elegant goth child

Hi Sweeny!!!

Cerise looks absolutely precious, congratulations on winning a slot for her!

Let’s go over her civilian info first so we can work on getting her stamped.

For the basic stuff, I just need a quick clarification: is her blood type O+ or O-?

Her Researcher virtue sounds more like a hobby or talent than a character virtue but all it needs is a slight twist to make it work. Something like resourceful sounds more up Cerise’s alley with the way she takes advantage of what’s available to her to find the answers she needs. Another alternative is her tendency to be self-initiated; she doesn’t rely on her parents or teachers for her answers, she goes straight to the source(s) to try to find them herself. Just a little bit of rewording and it can turn itself into a virtue for little Cerise. You certainly don’t have to go with either of those options, I just wanted to offer a couple suggestions <3

The little Duchess sounds adorable! I particularly love the hobbies you’ve picked out for her (I too had collections of collections as a child, orz).




Okay! Now it’s time to go over the powered side.

Her fuku is super creative and fits her theme really well! I also love the challenge, puns give me life.

As far as her attacks go, I understand the concept/theme of mammoths being a protective herd animal so I think going the route of protection is a clever use but I’m not sure how the healing buff would play into the mammoth theme. Even with removing the healing buff, Mammuthus has a pretty potent attack set to work with, especially if the spectral mammoths are able to toss/shove the attackers away with their trunks and tusks in the super attack.

With the eternal attack, I think having a stampede is a terrific utilization for the sphere. I would suggest lowering the count of mammoths if the width of the line formation is only fifteen feet across; having even a few mammoths would no doubt put enemies to worry (especially since mammoths were generally around nine feet tall in height). Once she grows into an adult senshi, you can always come back to revamp your magic and extend the width/number of mammoths to allow for her progression from chibi to adult.

Did you have a radius (or circumference) in mind when it came to how far these tremors would reach?

Also, when you state the tremors and sensation can be interrupted if Mammuthus is distracted, do you mean if she loses focus or if she loses her footing? Would placing her foot on the ground essentially be channeling the attack/tremors to happen or is she forced to concentrate to keep the mammoth stampede active?

Since Mammuthus is a chibi, her attacks would be shorter in length than that of an adult senshi’s. That way when she comes of age she’ll have room to grow/progress and you can extend the times/details of her magic. So for now, something more along the lines of 15 seconds for basic, 20 or 25 for super and 30 for eternal would work better for her chibi stages.

I know that’s a lot of words but I’m more than happy to help in any way that I can. Please feel free to DM or PM me with any questions/concerns/thoughts/younameit. Otherwise, just quote me when you’re ready for me to come back and review her again. <3

Bulleted lists make my heart sing.

The only thing I see that needs tweaked besides those is the minor edit of whether or not she's O- or O+.

If it helps, O+ is the most common blood type in the (human) population while O- is considered to be the "universal donor", as they can donate to literally anyone else of any other blood type.

One minor tweak and I'll be ready to stamp her - there's a discrepancy with her attack's times in her basic/super. You list both thirty seconds and twenty seconds in the first one, then thirty and twenty-five in the super attack. Everything else looks peachy-keen to me!

Perfect! Thank you so much! <3

As a casual reminder, the sphere/powered name is not reserved even though it is stamped. The only way to secure it is by obtaining the slot.



A GM will be around shortly for their review!
