Name: Emily Delacroix Nickname:Rune, Em (Only family), Rue (Only a partner) Age: 18 Birthday: August 15 Sign: Leo Gemstone:Larimar [ Listed here] Blood Type: O+ Fav. Food: PB sandwiches with Banana, Bacon, and Lettuce Hated Food: Mushrooms or Jell-o Hobbies: Gaming One thing Rune loves is late night gaming sessions with her online friends. Either they're playing a round of D&D on their online forum, or they're running an instance in an online MMO. She spends long hours yelling in to her headset, tapping in to her controllers and talking strategy. This has been Rune's way to unwind for years, and she's been playing with this particular group with about five months. Her primary MMO's are World of Warcraft and FFXIV, two subscription games that she finds provide a fair amount of challenge. Her mother has attempted to chastise her for time spent in the past, but she says that if anyone has any cares given Swimming Something Rune is absolutely in love with is being able to get out to the pool and swim. The girl occasionally moonlights as a mermaid for kids' parties, and as such, does a fair amount of training in the water. Her mother got her a spandex tail two years earlier, and ever since, Rue has practically lived in the neighborhood pool. She will go out and spend a few hours at night doing laps in a monofin and then diving and practicing holding her breath so that she can keep up the training she's been working on. It is also a fantastic form of exercise, and keeps up her lithe figure. If you talk to her, she says it helps the world slow down, lets her just exist for a few minutes.Charity Costuming Her major in costume design has lent itself to her being able to do something to give back. It helps sate her irritable demeanor, to do something for others...so Rune plays dress up. She makes costumes and goes to hospitals all dressed up, or to parties for sick kids. There's no money made off it, and she's okay with that. Why make money when she gets to see the smiles of small ones that make her day? The girl moonlights, normally, as a Mermaid or Faerie, though will sometimes take on licensed characters if she's asked. Rune has yet to take on any kind of paid gig for this, doing it only for a few local charities.Virtues:Resourceful Cleverness lends its hand to this Fashion major. Since her childhood, Rune's mother has taught her that stepping back and taking a distanced perspective on things, especially a problem or block, is a good way to see solutions you'd have never seen otherwise. People and animals alike never go in a straight line, and you have to be able to look at things as a whole in order to be able to create something new. In Rune's mind, this means being able to apply her own form of creativity to every aspect of her life. From candidate chores, to just cleaning up her space in the morning, she has developed particular ways of doing things stemming from solutions she's created from her experience.
Though it lends her a creative eye, and a rather quick wit, it can get her into trouble at times, because she'll use her skill to get around problems that she doesn't want to deal with. This lends to her being rather good with words, and though she doesn't lie often, if Rue feels truly backed into a corner, she might, in order to get out of the sticky place she's found herself in. She will do her best to find the small cracks and pull them together to her advantage, or offer something in turn for forgiveness. Loyal Yet another quality that stems from her childhood. When you work with animals with your mother growing up, you learn a thing or two about loyalty. Granted, her view might be slightly skewed, but nonetheless, she knows that she can't leave those for whom she cares behind. Despite her suspicions and other parts of her nature, she will stand by those she loves with a ferocity that will surprise most. Rune knows full well that you can't just let someone who relies on you down, and you need to be able to hold the trust of those who trust you. She's not truly able to turn her back on her friends, and will often be the first at their sides. There's only one other group she'll ever be truly loyal to...and that's her gaming buddies She knows for a fact that if you don't ensure that you do what you're required, as well as the things you're asked, for those who need you, you'll often end up with those who do naught but desert you. Loyalty is a standard she will hold to, once it's been earned, and she is one of the most steadfast friends you can ask for. Intelligent One thing that Rue was raised well with, and has had since birth, was a sharp mind. The woman is almost like a tactician, with a brain that is capable of understanding puzzling situations and coming up with a creative ending. She enjoys games of wit and playing word-games with other candidates when she gets a chance. She enjoys logic puzzles as well, spending her more private time hand-crafting small rings or cubes, to allow her own brain to get a moment's reprieve from going about a million miles a minute. She loves being given new challenges, and will often take on more difficult tasks, if only for the sake of not getting bored. She manages to keep at the top of her schooling, even if her mind leads her to be a bit disorganized, and seems to manage to keep atop of her scheduling too.Flaws: Obsessive A thing that can be quite a hindrance, however, is Rue's obsessive quality. Not only does she pour herself into any task with a drive that can be almost frightening, she will push at this until it is where she feels it's perfect. She focuses intently on the person, task, or item that she's become intrigued by, until she feels that it's either mastered or well known enough that she can back down for the time being. She's driven away potential love interests before due to her own rather pushy nature, and the fact that her questions can be prying and obtrusive in nature. She's often seen following those who've caught her interest as well, leading to a bit of a concern and tentative nature around her, though this has become a bit less intense over the years. Antisocial There is one thing that is certain. Until Rune knows you...you're not likely to get much out of her. Intrinsically, this girl is very much against outsiders, both in her life, and in her home. As such, she treats them in a slightly frosty, hostile manner. She can show a range of emotions towards people who she's not familiar with, ranging from anger, to simply giving them the cold shoulder. Though she's wise enough not to mouth of to anyone above her, she's been known to treat other students like they were touched, often giving them the stink eye, and giving sharp, curt responses. It takes a driven person to get past her suspicions, and she's learned, over her time at college, that she needs to act neutral, to know more. So there's the ones she sees as a plague, and those who...well, as they say, keep your friends close...and your enemies closer.Obstinate Stubborn to the core, with a tendency towards being bull-headed, Rune isn't the sort to let ground be gained on her so easily. Once her head's in something, it's nigh on impossible to change her mind. The only people known to be able to help her do so are family, since she tends to give them a bit more slack than most. Nonetheless, this extends to classes occasionally. If she thinks the teacher is wrong about a problem, she'll likely manage to keep the correction under her breath, but she'll write it down somewhere. This has gotten her in trouble every once in a while, but trouble's fine by her....if you're wrong. She also can be stubborn about changing her schedule. She has a strict way things are done, and it's a part of her life. Routine is lovely, and though she can variate from it on her own volition, if someone changes her plans for her, she gets FURIOUS. It's not their place to change her stuff, and if they do, she'll get angry, and usually argue with them about the change til she's blue in the face. She's almost lost some dear friends over this, and gotten into fights with her mother thanks to it.
The woman who raised her might be pretty relaxed, but schedule was one thing that the girl and her family never really saw eye-to-eye about. When discussing opinions, so long as they're not being forced upon her, Rue can be rather lenient, usually letting people slide by it. Though if you're forcing it, be ready for her to tell you just how WRONG you are. This is referring to the fact that the girl is very intolerant of people who shove their views down her throat. She's sort-of okay with listening to your opinion, even if she won't take it to heart, though if you start pushing and pushing, she won't even give you that much of consideration... As for how it pertains to her moral code...don't try to change that. Just don't. You're in for a screaming match if you do, and hell, people who go against it might be in for a bit of a lecture from the petite girl. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Eyes: Pale blue-gray eyes with a copper ring around the center, they are almond in shape, turned down slightly at the corners, but wide enough to lend her an innocent air. Hair: With blonde hair that has slight copper tones, her hair is long, to her shoulder blades. Usually, she has it done to look almost like an undercut on the right side, with one tight braid that she calls a viking braid, ombre-fading in to pink (#FF6EB4) about five inches above the bottom. [Style][Style + Color]Face: With a soft, oval-shaped face, Rue MIGHT almost look kind, if it weren't for the frown that is almost permanent on full, cupids bow lips. She has a few freckles across the bridge of her nose, with pale peach skin reminiscent of her Norwegian descent. Long lashes, and a slightly upturned nose makes her seem younger than she actually is, though not by much. Her ears are normal sized, pierced four times up the right lobe with a paw of larimar in the cartilage, and three times up the left. Her nose is pierced with a septum ring, and she bears a turquoise wolf running down her right arm as a tattoo, done in a watercolor style. Her makeup is usually done in darker tones, doing smokey eyes and cat's eye liner. Paw PiercingRight earLeft earTattoo ColorsDesign is CC, though should go down the entire upper arm. Septum + Makeup StyleClothes: Rune dresses in what would be called the Strega style of fashion. Dark colors, rough-woven textiles, and many different necklaces and rings that seem to be pagan in meaning. See examples Examples of Strega fashion.

Civilian Name:Emily "Rune" Delacroix Age:18 Hobbies: Gaming, Swimming, Charity Costuming Virtues: Resourceful, Loyal, Intelligent Flaws: Obsessive, Antisocial, Obstinate Backstory: She came from a family that was at least decently well off. While she might not get along with them, she could at least admit that she stuck around because they loved her...sort of. When she was a teenage girl, no more than 15, she fell in love, hard. Head over heels with the man, she followed him blindly, even going so far as to spend the night at his place. It made her schoolwork suffer a bit, and, like most young romances...it didn't end well. When he moved on, she got bitter, her heart hardening to any idea of love after. Why? When it seemed to do nothing but hurt her? Why bother letting herself be that WEAK again? When she became a Senshi, it was not hard for her to turn to the corruption, more willing to accept that as her natural state of being. After all...She felt stronger this way. More able to protect herself... Powered Name: Corrupt Sailor Mab of Geysers Powered Attacks: All Water-based attacks, usually involving steam or hot water, that gain in effect and skill with her level. Appearance: Atheltic body type, with pale skin, and blonde hair that fades in to blue. Gray eyes that are often hardened or angry. When in her normal form, she wears what would be called 'strega' fashion (See profile for reference)...and her fuku is dark and the colors muted to reflect a similar effect. She's a bit short, with quite a few piercings and tattoos (referenced in her profile), but always seems to have a cool distance about her. Template: For Senshi: Something like F26 or F41. If there was a way to splice them, that'd be cool though they're really different, so if it's either/or, I'm ok with that as well. For Civ: FC4 is the closest, though her hip size is a bit smaller than 4. Link to Profile:HerePrompt:After a long day, you’ve finally managed to get some shut eye. Only, it’s not really a peaceful sleep. You begin to dream—a deep, menacing shadow is creeping through your mind. It has the power to induce fear and hopelessness and reduce you to your weakest state. How do you react in the face of this horror? What is the face of this horror? And why doesn’t it feel like a dream? Prompt Response:Gods, but she was done with today. Having to see Aeron all over again had been like someone had ripped her heart out of her chest, leaving her wondering why the hell she even bothered stopping by school....except to pass her classes. It was like the world was conspiring to rip her heart out of her chest even more than it already had been. Running lithe fingers through her hair, she began to undo the braid on the side of her head, the heaviness in her limbs like a lead weight. The sooner she could get to bed the better...The sooner she could lie down, the sooner she could forget everything. Making her way over to the bed once her hair was down, and she stripped to nothing but a sport's bra and boy shorts, Rune had to enjoy the softness of the down pillows. It allowed her to drift in to the edge of sleep. What she didn’t expect was the darkness that surrounded her as soon as sleep fully claimed her. It wasn’t the usual sleep-darkness either, more like a shadow with glowing eyes coming from every corner she turned. It started with fear, her heart thudding dully in her chest as fists clenched to her side. Like hell she was going to go down without a fight. The fire rose in her, combatting fear...until memories of four years ago slipped in to her mind. A mocking smile, cold eyes, reminding her that how could he fall for her? How could he ever have wanted someone so callous and rough. It wasn’t like she cared about anyone but herself. The voices echoed, all from this one shadow around her that made her feel so SMALL. Like her breath was being stolen out of her lungs, like suddenly, every single wall she had built around herself was crumbling to the claws of whatever was holding her here. The memory of being ripped to shreds, left standing, staring after someone who had quickly become the most important person in the world to her, someone she trusted, was a wound not yet healed. Her fingers clung to her sport’s bra, breath coming short as she started to fight against it, slowly standing up to her feet, “….No.” She’d spent too long dealing with it. Too long in pain, in tears. She wasn’t going to let herself fall. Slowly, she fought her way to her feet, began to bring steel back around a cracking heart. No. She was not going to fall to some….nameless beast that dared show her the past. Shaking her head, she bared her teeth in response to the shadow all around her, the shadow that formed in to Aeron’s face as her eyes met it head on. Aeron’s face, his body….his hand touching her cheek. Recoiling in horror, she let out a cry of pain, and simply struck outwards, her fist connecting with...some kind of flesh-like thing. This didn’t feel like any dream before, too real was the scent of him, of his cologne, of the blood? Was that blood? Choking at the sight of the liquid seeping from between his lips, she stumbled back. No, “I am not….Going to give in. You were just some sick….twisted b*****d that….” Oh god, was she going to die like this? “Go to hell...” Her voice was shaking, but her resolved steeled in every minute, her body backing away as she realized that this was too real. Something was wrong. RUN. She ran from his face, from his shadow, ran until she had nothing left, until she collapsed in to the same darkness, only to be surrounded again by the whispers and laughter. Her hands clapped over her ears, a piercing scream coming from her lips, "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
