-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
╫Character Description╫
Personality: Amaterasu is calm and collected. It has been over a hundred ninety years since she had her battle with Loki and her daughters death. She walks more like a wraith, someone lost in the world looking for a purpose. She wants someone to attach herself too, someone to guard so that if she dies, her life will not be in vain. At least in her eyes. It is this sort of distorted nature that has led her to be used before. It is possible for her to be used again, but she is a little wiser now. She isn't going to trust easily, even if she is looking for a guardian. She wants the person she is protecting to be worthy of her protection. That seems to be the hard part.
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 120lbs
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: White
Talents: Cherry is a pretty good singer and excellent with a violin and a flute. She finds that music calms her soul and keeps her attitude from waning over the edge. She has grown so attached to these musical instruments that she will often start playing if she feels herself becoming lost.
She is also very attached to children. Having the distressed mother instinct, she will often rush to help out any child who needs it.

╫Background Information╫
Micrea and his sister Athena, also known as Cherry, grew up in a small town. Their mother was a cook at a local resturant, and their father was a hunter who brought home all sorts of delicious meats for the restaurants specials. Neither one of them had a particularly horrible life when they were young. They did what most kids do and played to their hearts content.
Of course we can't expect the two to just say that their lives were perfect. No infact, nothing is ever perfect now is it? The strong often have horrible back stories which drive them to their decision to be the best. Cherry's life is no different.
At the age of ten her mother became deathly ill. Due to the family having to close down their restuarant, their lives soon became absolute hell. All their money went towards medicine for their mother. All the while Cherry caught the eye of a wealthy suitor.
Trying to find a way out of their horrible situation, their father contemplated on marrying off his daughter. Such a young age for marriage might seem absurd, but the two would merely be engaged until she was truely old enough (around 16). It was to be written out on paper and signed by the parents of both parties, as well as the Cherry and her suitor.
Though, like most girls forced into a situation they dislike, Cherry didn't want to do it. Unfortunately for her, the guilt trip her father laid on her forced her to scribble her name in ink across the parchment.
Years later, the day of the wedding came. Cherry had grown slightly fonder of the man she was supposed to marry, but she was still not entirely sure. Her brother Mircea, knew the pain his sister was in, and set it upon himself to help her out. Their mother was also furious, and when she heard the news for the first time in years, she commited suicide so her daughter would have no reason to feel forced into the situation.
However, the news was kept away from Cherry so as not to "Ruin her day". Mircea snuck into the room she was being kept in, and cleverly disappeared with his little sister, freeing her from her bonds. He informed her afterwards of her mother's demise.
The two of them left their small town, and journeyed to Nocturne where they have been living together. Mircea has been seeing a young woman in town which left Cherry to her own devices, which included reading and trying to gain as much knowledge as she possibly can. She has worked hard to better her skills as an arcanist and hopes to be of some use to her fraction.
However even though the story seems to have come to an end, there is still the little contract which seems to be in effect. Due to the breach in contract, there are those out there who have been hired by the suitor to get rid of Cherry and Mircea for what happened on the wedding day.
The following events happened three years ago. A band of men came looking for the two. Due to Cherry simply being a Trainee, she has not been able to attain a true werewolf form. The same goes for her brother Mircea. The men who attacked were assassins from different bloodlines. Each one used their own hated of the Lycan species as a way of justifying their contract, which contained a great sum of wealth for the men who brought Cherry's head back to her suitor.
Despite this, the two desperately tried to fight back against the band of men that suddenly broke into their house. Protecting his little sister, Mircea was horribly injured, and it seemed the end would soon come for Cherry was well. Though just when all hope seemed lost, the girl was saved by a man covered in black garb. Though he faught and killed all the assassins valiantly, she never did see his face. He merely told her to call a doctor for her brother before he leapt away. The parting words seemed to be the end, but through the wind she could hear him say that he would deal with her suitor personally.
Mircea was in bad shape. His body was broken and horribly misshapen from what those men did to him. He has been in the hospital for some time now, leaving Cherry to her own life. She doesn't let it get her down, and visits her brother almost every day. Cherry now has a purpose in life, and that is to meet the mysterious stranger once more and show him that she is now capable of taking care of herself. Perhaps even entering the same line of work as he and helping those less fortunate and weaker than she.
Tragedy and Escape
Well, that was the old Cherry. While taking the exams, Cherry had to leave for an extended amout of time due to Mircea's illness getting worse. Unfortunately he passed away. With the only member of her family gone, Cherry was pushed towards depression. On top of that, she realized only then the futile effort she had put towards getting Loki's attention. With so many women after a single man, there was no way Cherry would be able to win.
Unfortunately this depression began consuming her. She couldn't get Loki out of her mind and continued spiralling down further and further. She still did what he asked obidiently, but said nothing other than that. However, she has left her home.
The years had passed and Cherry seemed to be much like a recluse now. The woman seems to only come out when called upon and after doing what she has been told to, disappears back into the darkness. People seem to no longer remember the happy, vibrant, and bouncy woman that was Cherry. Now all they see is a dark, beaten down dog.
Loosing her second home
Everything in her new home had gone great in the past two years. She was content enough and loved her home in a small village known as Kandora. Though, things were better before a certain soldier showed up. Nash..The name is enough to send Cherry snarling and snapping at anyone who mentions it.
After training the lustful boy, Cherry went out to get drunk. She was successful in the attempt but followed by Nash. After getting hammered, he offered to take her someplace else. Being inebriated, she followed behind him. The place he took her to was a hotel, and the reason was so he could try and get in her panties. He managed to get her shirt open before she knocked him off of her and ran out the door. Feeling wounded at nearly being raped, the woman took refuge for a little while. But she wouldn't be gone for long.
Cherry then headed out to go find Jasper and teach him a lesson he so sorely deserved. Sniffing his trail, she found that he had headed off to her old home. While waiting for the train there, she ran into the man she had been fearing the most for two years...Loki...
The conversation they had was awkward, and being tired it was hard to grasp everything he was saying. She did figure out that Loki was just heading off to go find her. Her hiding spot had been given away by Nash himself. Feeling betrayed, yet not ready to betray her new home, Cherry begged that Loki cease his actions before passing out. All the while learning that the lycan had feelings for her the whole time.
After waking up, Cherry found herself in Loki's home. While she looked around, Loki took a shower. Only to come out nude which activated her lust for him. After a brief conversation and some love making, Cherry left for home.
When she returned home. she was given a mission to protect another soldier while he was meditating. Loki, in the meantime, decided to follow Cherry. Sensing Fenrir's presence, the soldier grabbed Cherry and used the woman was leverage against the Lycan. Another betrayal and stab in the back had just happened to Cherry.
Though she was released, the two men began fighting, and she was intent on stopping it by scolding the two. Cherry couldn't see herself killing anyone. So instead she gave them both a burn mark via a fireball so they would have something to distract them from their battle.
The soldier saw this as treason and ordered Cherry out of the village. All she had wanted to do was protect it, and in turn she was being cast out of it. A low blow to the woman who had just been trying to help. The sad thing was that Loki didn't try to defend her. It was almost as if he wanted her to get kicked out.
Cherry was a rogue. She swore no alliance to any nation, but will not lie if you asked her if she has feelings for Loki. She was going to be a frequent guest of his village, but would not claim it as her own, figuring that if she does, those in her last home would relentlessly pursue her.
Returning home and the Lycan Transformation
After being a rogue for a little while, Cherry returned to home to pick up a few things. She ended up joining her village once more to become a stronger soldier. She was paired up with Nash and sent out to defeat some nasty xenomorphs. Cherry defeated her with a little difficulty, and when she saw that Nash's xenomorph had removed his hand, she destroyed him as well. After the battle, Cherry and Nash headed out.
Once back home, she was approached by Velox, an old comrade from Loki's village. He told her that Loki wished to give them a test for their full transformation. Cherry headed after him quickly, eager to take her test. Once there, she noticed hold cold Loki seemed to be acting towards her.
The test was difficult, and it took Cherry a long time to reach the top. By the time she did, she had suffered burns to her hands and legs, a torn open shoulder, scratches on her back, and various bruises. Loki still seemed cold, and asked Cherry why she hated the moon. When she told him, he seemed to get even more upset. Loki called her weak and told her she was undeserving of the full transformation. The woman felt crushed by the man she called her lover. Him calling her weak was a crucial blow to her pride. She tried explaining how she wasn't, but he ended the conversation by saying he'd take her to get healed up. Being stubborn, she refused his help and told him she was going back home.
Loki grabbed Cherry and took her home. At which time he left, only saying I'm sorry before disappearing. Cherry felt crushed, and didn't believe that Loki cared about her anymore.
A strange Lycan and the Lovelorn
After returning home, Nash was named King. As King, one of his first acts was to help Cherry out. He told her that she could attain a lycan transformation, but it would be a reverse transformation. The woman would only be able to transform in the day, not during the night. Destined to prove Loki wrong, Cherry hurried out to attain this transformation. Heading up the Turnback's Night phase was easy. Sunphase was another story. The place was filled with monsters looking to tear her apart, and by the time she reached the top, the woman only had half her energy left.
As Cherry headed towards the top she noticed a mirror. What came from it was Cherry's dark side. The woman called her weak and blamed all the events upon her. Some acts she was innocent of, others, such as Mircea's death, were events she still carried guilt for.
Dark Athena wasn't a mage for no reason, and she used her skills like an expert. After a long battle, the woman finally slipped up, and Cherry was able to draw her into the body she shared with her host, joining the two into one being.
After returning home, Cherry smelt charred meat, and found Loki standing over the body of her King, Nash, whom he had killed. It was heartbreaking to see Nash lying there, but she was not all that surprised. Loki appologized to her, and began destroying her paradise before her eyes.
Dealing with Dark Athena gave Cherry some time to think. One of the conclusions she came up with was that, she and Loki being a couple was hazardous to the both of them. Loki wished to think of himself as her teacher before her lover. The woman held back her emotions, stated how deeply she cared about him, and told Loki to leave and never return. The womans heart broke into a thousand pieces, but she could not selfishly keep him and endanger him. Nor had she been able to see him smile often, so she felt that she wasn't making him as happy as she thought she was.
Even with her Paradise gone, and her love lost, Cherry has decided to go on, to become a teacher and make a home for the rogues. Only time would tell what drama entered into her life next.
Reconciliation, A Child, and the Lovelorn Fool
Love and drama doesn't seem to stay away from Cherry for long. She ended up reconciling her love with Loki. As she left again, Loki was attacked by Cherry's suitor, Reaver. Reaver and Loki had once served together, and Reaver, out for Cherry's blood, decided to use Loki against the woman, and get rid of both lycans. However, she had just told Loki that she was pregnant, and hurried to his location to free him.
The battle was terrible, and she had to kill her brother Mircea. This act has left an emotional scar on the woman. Though she told Loki that she was pregnant, he didn't seem to be jumping for joy. And as she left to go train her rogues once more, she was attacked by her father David. That was also a terrible emotional ordeal.
David told Cherry that her real mother was a mage, and that she tried to kill her when she was a child. David even confessed that he never loved his daughter, and that he had always wanted her dead. Grinning with malice towards his daughter, he tried to kill her. The woman won the battle, but the good side of her refused to kill him. This allowed David to slink off with his tail between his legs.
Shortly after, she ended up being trapped on an island plagued with hurricanes and rough waters. The woman was stuck on this island for some time. It was there that she gave birth to her daughter Selene, and it was there they lived for about six months.
Selene aged quickly. In six months, she ended up looking like a five year old. Cherry watched the skies every day, and sung her daughter a lullaby of a hero who would one day return to them. Of course, that day came, but so did more heartache.
Watching a lightning bolt streak across the sky, Cherry fired out a shot at it. She knew it was Loki, and she hoped he would come back for her. Unfortunately, her shot scared a young girl by the name of Molly, who dropped to her island. Once the girl had landed on the ground, the two met up, and the horror of Loki's ways were revealed.
It was never really said, but due to Molly's reaction when Cherry said that she was his girlfriend, it was clear that Loki had slept with this woman. Feeling her heart breaking in two, she engaged in simple conversation and tried to look past it, but she couldn't.
When Loki came back, he met his daughter Selene for the first time. It was a tender moment. A moment that hardly ever comes around. With Cherry telling him to teleport everyone away, Loki did as he was told. When he came back, he had to battle against Cherry and the horrid emotions that took over as Dark Cherry manifested herself before him.
Upset that she would attack, but making sure he didn't kill her, Loki won the battle. Though Cherry was still upset. When she asked him how he could sleep with another woman, his reply was "Just because I slept with her doesn't mean that I care about her. You should know that." It wasn't the answer she was looking for, and he teleported her back to the Spire, a place she had been calling home for quite some time now.
As Loki left with the others, he told Cherry to come back to him. She promised she would. It was then that Cherry realized she was just being toyed with. The feeling was terrible and she didn't want to raise her daughter in an environment like that. Taking this into consideration, she headed to Loki's home to get her child, and tell Loki it was over. Though the break up was less than kosher. He blamed Cherry and said she was trying to change him. Even after giving him a lecture, and calling him a monster...she still confessed her love for him before taking Selene and leaving.
He wouldn't take this lying down, and met Cherry on the road to their destination with the look of a murderer in his eyes. It was clear he would kill her. For some reason, this man thought that she was a burden, and was going to separate her from her child. He was able to do so, and called some guards to capture the woman.
Loki started becoming mad in his years. When he saw his daughter, he saw Cherry's face. And this madness consumed him until he decided to get rid of them both. Painting Selene and Cherry as witches, he tied his lover and child to the poles and commanded that they be burned at the stake. The fires were lit and though she begged and pleaded with him to release her daughter, he would not.
She isn't sure what happened next, but Cherry woke up in a strange house. It was owned by a lycan who, like her, had not been able to get a full transformation. He told her with sorrowful eyes that while he had been able to save her, he had been unable to rescue her daughter. Feeling her heart shatter, Cherry cried her eyes out for a full two months, hiding in this mans home and trying to commit suicide whenever he left her alone.
Finally, she got ahold of herself. This was Loki's fault, and he would pay for what he had done. Loki, in the meantime, had gone back to being himself and was out womanizing once more. Cherry showed this man and other lycans who had been considered weak, how to attain their full transformation. The woman created an army, and at this time, changed her looks and her name from Cherry to Amaterasu.
The Battle
The battle came quickly once she had enough people. Amaterasu attacked the village of lycans and Loki directly. Though he knew exactly who she was when he saw her. He blamed her for the death of his child and tried to turn everything around on her. She was here to get revenge for her daughters death at the hands of her murderer. The woman rose up arms against him, and though the battle was bloody, erased Loki from existence and purged the world of the beings known as Lycans.
The day after the battle, she decreed that the race of day lycans would be called Worrens, and that their job was to help those less fortunate. Everyone agreed it was a good idea, and Amaterasu left. It has been years since anyone has heard of this person, and the myth has all but died out. Only a few souls seem to remember it. While she still grieves for the loss of her daughter, she goes on looking for someone to guard and protect with her life, until death claims her as well.
