Welcome to Gaia! ::

(old art is old sorry)

Name: Zakuro Yamari

Nickname:

Age: 18

Birthday: July 23

Sign: Leo

Gemstone: Onyx

Blood Type: O+

Fav. Food: Shrimp and passionfruit bubbletea

Hated Food: Tacos and spicy things

School: none

Hobbies:

Karaoke: Zak sings anywhere and everywhere. She'll be humming to herself in class softly, singing in the car, in the shower, everywhere. Going to Karaoke is a good outlet for this and she does it as frequently as possible, at least once a week and preferably more.

Designing her own clothing: Have you ever gone clothing shopping and found either the perfect item in the wrong size? Or maybe not found a single thing at all that you like? Zak was sick and tired of this problem and started making her own clothing. She's quite good at it and will occasionally do commissions if she has free time. She started making her own jewelry back in elementary school, just stringing pretty beads together in nice patterns, but it evolved later into full blown clothing making.


Virtues:

Determined/Persistent

Zakuro is very driven and will pursue something to it's completion no matter what. She hates leaving things unfinished and it bothers her greatly if she is absolutely forced to and if she is, she will stew and brood over it and think of scenarios of how it could have gone or should have gone. She will spend hours working on something as long as it means that it will get done. This goes for projects as well as people and relationships. If she falls for someone, she will not give up on chasing them until either she stops feeling something for them or is turned down. In the same manner, she will not give up on a friend unless something awful happens between them like a horrendous fight.


Mothering
Zakuro has a very strong maternal instinct. She worries over her friends and feels very protective over them. This stems from a chain of events when she was younger where her so called friends were only around her to use her for their own benefit and now her never wanting to see anyone she cares about to be used like that. She will stand up for her someone who is being hurt, going from her usual happy-go-lucky self to fairly aggressive like a mother wolf protecting her cubs. Her friends are the most important thing in the world to her. She will stand up for other people and try to take them under her wing as well, however, aside from just her friends. If she sees someone struggling, she will definitely try to help them out, feeling a need to reach out and give them a little boost. She often gives people advice and lets them cry on her shoulder if need be, She's a good confidant and is easy to talk to as well.


Flaws:

Prideful
This may have a little bit to do with her determination. She hates backing down from anything, though this goes above and beyond just the need to finish things. If Zakuro is challenged to do something, her pride refuses to let her decline. She's gotten herself into many a sticky situation due to this. She also hates admitting when she's wrong because of this. Sure you can call her on it alllll you want, but that won't mean she'll admit to it. She'll likely make an excuse or try to talk her way out of being wrong. She loves being right, loves knowing things others do not, and loves always being first or the best. She won't outright sabotage someone, however she isn't above trying to throw their confidence to give herself a little boost if she is competing in something.

Socially awkward
Zakuro doesn't always say the right things at the right time, usually coming off as incompetent or in appropriate. She doesn't really know how to act in large social settings, much as she loves to be in them. She will shy away from a lot of subjects that are popular due to her awkwardness and when she does try to join in conversation, she will likely flub up and make the conversation itself awkard. In addition to just being a little awkward, her naivete is a contributing factor to that. Even at her age, she still sees the world through innocent eyes. like a child would. She doesn't want to believe anyone or anything is truly evil and honestly thinks that everyone has a little bit of good in them no matter how small. There are also social cues and many jokes and references that she misses due to this.

Hi Yuka! Just a few things and then we can get Zakuro ready for stamping!

First, you have an uneven number of virtues and flaws - and you also left the filler text explaining virtues in your profile! I would recommend deleting it, particularly since it's right in the middle of your two virtues!

As to solving the unevenness problem, I think you could fold her naive flaw into her Socially awkward flaw, particularly since you talk about her missing a lot of things because of her naivety. That would leave you even!

On the powered side, could you please link to her celestial object? Also, I'm not quite sure what you're referencing with her sphere - id there a phenomenon you're thinking of, or just literal "balls of fire"?

Additionally, is the damage done by her attacks permanent, and can it cause secondary fires? (Like, does it just burn the area it hits, or can it catch the rest of their clothing?)

Unfortunately, fireballs is not going to work as a sphere -- it's simply too close to Mars. However, if I may provide two alternate suggestions -- firestorms and possibly flashover would be workable! They would both require reworking of her attacks, but would keep in the fiery theme you want while being distinct from existing fire spheres!

Her traits look great, though, so let me know when you've made powered side adjustments and I'll come back!

Everything looks good EXCEPT that you've got her last attack lasting for thirty-five minutes! If you meant for it to be thirty-five seconds, that's fine, but given battles usually last about five minutes, thirty-five minutes is obviously a bit long!

Looks good!



A GM will be by soon for further review!
