Name: Dahlia Athanasia Astera
Nickname: Dee feels familiar, and she knows it's what she used as a nickname before. She'd like to stick with that.
Age: 23
Gender/Pronoun: cis woman, she/her
Birthday: April 13th, 1998
Sign: Aries
Gemstone: Diamond
Blood Type: B-
Fav. Food: She loves Javanese cuisine. Something fun about eating with one's hands. Also has a penchant for carrying some extra tea bags around, just in case.
Hated Food: Dahlia absolutely despises the rubbery texture of mushrooms.
Occupation: The Mauvians got her Bachelor's in Communications back, but she's just trying to figure things out. For now, she works at a local buy-sell-trade store.
Hobbies:
"Oh, that? Cost me $5!" - Dahlia loves thrifting. There's just a thrill about it that's hard to explain; the thrill of finding the one good item that went for $1000 new that someone for some reason just donated, the thrill of finding the absolutely bizarre item she can put up on her new blog to bring people excitement and laughs, the thrill of being able to piece together an outfit for one of the Malinowskis' myriad of family gatherings for less than twenty dollars. It's not infrequent for her to drag a new friend to the thrift store; they better hope they don't lose her for hours.
"Tell me a story!" - New life story, part two. Dahlia has the pieces of her life that she recorded and documented, but something feels distant like they don't quite belong. Plus, she never really had a solid life story. That intensified interest in reading and narrative video games from her life as a corrupt never really left her. Dahlia nearly tears through books. It's unsurprising for her to get through multiple books a week from almost any genre. This builds in with her thrifting hobby; along with a collection of clothing, she often comes back with a pile of secondhand books.
"I have to write that down." - The last thing Dahlia did before she purified was take a page from a purified corrupt before her: she wrote down, photographed, and spoke to herself via a recording every little detail she could possibly think of, everything that'd help her on the other side, help give her context for what she might be losing again, and help the others on her new side. Perhaps that burned into her brain. Dahlia documents her life with a vengence; she has a journal she keeps with her at all times, constantly seems to be taking pictures with her phone, and even sometimes leaves her phone on voice recorder mode in her pocket just in case no matter how awkward it would be for someone to uncover those recordings later.
Virtues:
"Think I've figured you out..." - Perceptive - Dahlia is, despite all of her nervousness and the feeling of lack of understanding of humanity, very people-savvy. People make sense to her, in all their forms and ways and ideas and emotions, and perhaps more than ever, she finds herself easily able to weave herself in and out of those situations. Some of this is just practice from her prior life; she had to spend so much time pretending to follow conversations that, eventually, she just started following them. Other of it is influence from her education and her time as an Infiltration officer. Some of it is just natural charisma.
"I'm not a bleeding heart." - Warm - But she is, a bit. Dahlia is, in general, incredibly warm and nice. It comes with an element of awkwardness she can't seem to quite shake, but she has mannerisms that have oft resulted in other people calling her a sweetheart. She, at the very least, always comes off like she's willing to listen. She lends a hand and her support in almost any situation. Dahlia even has a soft spot for those she left behind on the other side; it's nothing personal, really, and she hopes she can help heal them too.
"Wonder will never leave me." - Fascinated - As far as Dahlia remembers, she's only been alive for the last four years or so. Or, at least, she only remembers being alive for the last four years or so. Everything always feels new to her, and she's infinitely curious about everything. She wants to know it all, see it all, experience it all -- and everything she experiences elicits an almost childlike wonder and fascination. She'll never hesitate for a new experience because, for her, everything still feels so very new.
Flaws:
"Not sure I really belong." - Disconnected - Dahlia doesn't necessarily feel human. Each time she's swapped sides, simple humanity has felt more and more alien to her; the first time, she lost her whole life, the second, she lost whatever she built of a civilian life, and no documentation, no matter how much she did make, will bring that feeling of belonging with other normal people back. She often tends to observe situations like an outsider, and no matter how much pain it brings her to henshin up, she feels more comfortable as a senshi than she ever will as a civilian.
"I've made my decision." - Stubborn - Purifying was the first choice Dahlia ever feels like she truly made. It felt right. Correct. How good that rightness made her feel has resulted in a bit of a stubborn streak; once she's made her choice, it's hard to pull her from it. Choices have been stolen from her too often. Her entire life was stolen from her without her choice in the matter. Perhaps it makes sense that she's so mule-headed, it can just sometimes make her hard to reason with.
"I don't know what I'm doing." - Lost - Sure, she finally made a choice and stuck to it, but everything in her life feels agonizing. No matter how much she reads, she still takes every step with a measure of uncertainty, and sometimes, she loses her footing altogether and falls to the ground in the midst of a panic. She keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop, keeps waiting to be called out as a fraud, keeps waiting to wake up and realize that she lost all of her memories again, lost everything of who she was again. There's an air of unshakeable unease that seems to rest around Dahlia at almost all times. Even if she masks it, it's hardly gone.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Her eyes are an icy blue, wide and round.
Hair: Dahlia's curly-wavy hair is a short length and hovers just over her shoulders. It goes from icy blue to an electric purple in an ombre.
Face: She has a fairly squared face, with a prominent jawline. Her eyes are a little wide, and her ears are on the larger side, but she has a fairly small, upturned nose. Her skin is the type of pale where she won't necessarily immediately burn, but don't leave the poor girl outside too long or she may regret it. (The one who leaves her outside too long may also soon regret it.)
Clothes: She pieces together her outfits from thrift trips. She knows where to shop, and at the very least looks like she knows what fashion is. She goes for comfort more than appearance when left to her own devices, and likes soft shirts and soft pants with a color pattern similar to her hair. When she's expected to be, she'll thrift some clothes for dress-up.

[[Just making a radius adjustment for her eternal attack based on the senshi guidelines, otherwise this form is the same!]]
Senshi: Super Sailor Nembus, Senshi of Electromagnetism
Challenge: "Do you find me magnetic?"
Fuku Colour:
Main Color: Purple
Secondary Color: Lavender
Accent Color: Blue
Fuku:
Here!
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: "Arc Blind!"
Prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields is known to cause eye damage, especially in the form of cataracts. When Nembus says the name of her attack and points at an enemy, they notice that it quickly becomes a lot harder to see. In effect, it feels like they have very bad cataracts for 25 seconds, making it a lot harder to attack or defend themselves. Residual effects are at the discretion of the player.
(Uses: Thrice per battle.
Duration: 25 seconds
Range: Localized)
Super Sailor Scout Attack: "Arc Burn!"
Prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields can cause severe eye damage in the form of cataracts and corneal damage. It can also result in burns. When Nembus says the name of her attack and points at an enemy, their eyesight quickly grows rather poor, their vision obstructed by eye damage. Their skin will heat up, in effect giving them the sensation of a small flash burn, and their eyes will also feel the same due to photokeratitis. Residual effects are at the discretion of the player.
(Uses: Twice per battle.
Duration: 30 seconds
Range: Localized)
Eternal Sailor Attack: "Nembus' Boil!"
Millimeter electromagnetic waves like microwaves can cause significant discomfort to humans. Nembus lifts both arms above her head before lowering them down to her sides. In a 15 foot radius around her, Nembus' enemies begin to feel a faint burning sensation on their skin. As they remain in the radius, it starts to climb, further and further, until it feels like they are boiling from the inside. Their vision also becomes cloudier, making it harder to defend themselves or escape. This effect lasts for 45 seconds, with residual effects at the discretion of the player.
(Uses: Once per battle
Duration: 45 seconds
Range: 15ft radius)
