- Character Personality Marchetti is a woman shaped by her environment. A woman who, despite growing up with barely anything but a pair of painfully strict Quincy parents, never seemed to lose sight of herself or fall into the trap of becoming exactly what her parents wanted her to become. In a sense, one could say Marchetti had a natural rebellious streak to her, which wouldn't necessarily be a lie considering the innumerable times Marchetti directly defied her parents, if not out of spite, then simply out of boredom or a strong urge to do something, to feel alive in a life that seemed so robotic and lifeless to her. She is very much so a woman with a strong will, a woman who will do what she wants regardless of what others tell her, and a woman who has the courage to stand in the face of death and fight on with no fear or regret. She's outspoken, and will readily butt heads with even higher authorities or voice an unpopular opinion with no concern as to how it may damage her own reputation. As Marchetti had always said, reputation and titles meant nothing to her, and that something so trivial and superficial was comparable to a "fart in the wind". People have commonly described her as stubborn, foolish, brash, unrefined and even barbaric, which a lot of the times Marchetti finds to be at least somewhat ironic.
With regards to the social or sociable side of Marchetti, the woman is known to be quite a flirt when it comes to interacting with others. As stated above, Marchetti will speak her mind and voice her opinion, even on one's physical attractiveness, with no concern for whether or not the feeling is mutual. Other times, when people express their affections towards her, Marchetti finds it particularly fun and exhilarating to toy with their minds, but not in a twisted, evil way. More so in the sense that there really isn't much chance for social interaction with other humans, so when she finds ones that fall head over heels for her the woman will never hesitate to have her fun and 'feel pretty' like any normal girl of her age.
Ever since she could remember, Marchetti seemed to have some sense of intuitive aptitude, a natural understanding of the world around her, and a gift for being able to tinker with, tamper with, and create things that at first proved to be useless and mere objects for amusement, which annoyed her parents to no end. Yet as she grew older, her knowledge and life experiences grew as well, and her creations and inventions became more and more useful for everyday life. However as a means to live a somewhat normal life given the circumstances of her existence, this geniousness was (and still mostly is) a trait that she keeps well hidden under a facade of humbleness and the false pretense of "sheer luck".

- Character Skin Color/Ethnicity: White
- Character Height: 180cm (5 ft 11 inches)
- Character Hair Color: Marchetti has dark brown hair.
- Character Hair Length/ Style: Marchetti's hair is shoulder length. She tends to keep her hair in what she likes to called an "organized mess" - she does very little with her hair and it normally tends to look slightly tangled and messy, but still decently presentable and fairly decent looking, so to her it's "good enough". Whenever she's experimenting, Marchetti tends to tie her hair back in a ponytail.
- Character Eye Color: Marchetti's eyes are a soft hazel color.
- Character Description: Marchetti is a shapely woman with a slim and modelesque physique. She's much taller than the average woman of her age, nearing a full six feet tall without heels which is, as Marchetti tells herself, one of the reasons why men rarely ever approach her. She carries herself with an air of confidence about her, but is humble enough not to have said confidence be misconstrued as arrogance or cockiness even in the worst of times. As she already possesses a fair amount of natural beauty, Marchetti barely uses any makeup on a daily basis, and is almost never seen with a full face of makeup unless there is some spectacular reason for it. Complexion-wise, Marchetti has a natural glowing olive complexion, and her skin is smooth with no signs of blemishes or imperfections.
- Character Attire: Clothing wise, Marchetti seems to have a very limited wardrobe. On a casual day, Marchetti tends to wear some sort of button-up blouse, a pair of skinny jeans or leggings, and either runners or heels (though Marchetti will almost always choose runners over heels). Depending on the weather, she may throw a sweater on top, and when in the lab she'll wear a white coat. When in uniform, Marchetti wears a white button-up blouse, a pair of form-fitting pants, boots with heels on them, and the standard white coat over top, though her coat makes her look more like a scientist and less like a soldier.
- Character Tattoos/Markings/Scars: None to discuss.
- Bio: WIP
Quincy Information
- Quincy Bangle/Cross Appearance: x
- Quincy Bangle/Cross Location: Around her neck on a silver chain.
- Spirit Weapon Name: Ambrosia
- Spirit Weapon Appearance: Marchetti's Spirit Weapon takes on the unique form of an ornate golden gourd that is about 40cm in length. Though for her the gourd seems weightless, to others the gourd appears to weigh upwards of 30lbs. Up close, it appears almost metallic, as if it were made from real gold. The gourd comes with a cork at the top, and straps which allows her to wear it at her side.
- Spirit Weapon Abilities: Marchetti's Spirit Weapon is unique in that it's not the gourd which allows her to effectively combat hollows and other spiritual beings, it's the contents of the gourd. When uncorked, Marchetti can draw bright turquoise liquid from it, which she refers to as the "Himmelsmaterie" (Heavenly Matter) because of its unique properties, reminiscent of creationist stories in some sense - Marchetti has complete control over almost every aspect of the substance, allowing her to alter it to her heart's content to achieve a vast array of effects. For example, she is capable of making the substance highly toxic with a varying array of physiological effects that may vary between races and species, or she may make the substance highly corrosive to affect anything it comes in contact with, be it a living organism or an inanimate object. Her control is not limited only to the substance's chemical properties, either, as she is able to control its physical properties as well: physical state, density, color, texture, etc. That being said, Marchetti is only capable of manipulating one aspect of each category at any given time: one chemical, and one physical. The properties will last for as long as Marchetti is using the substance, though the properties may change at any given time based on Marchetti's own desire. Physical properties are the easiest to spot, as most often Marchetti will change the state from solid to liquid to gas, but chemical properties are ones that generally cannot be confirmed until something or someone comes in contact with the substance. That is not to say it is impossible to see when Marchetti changes its chemical properties, however, as those who are highly perceptive will be able to notice the transition the substance makes when changing chemical properties - a soft, silvery ripple runs through the entirety of the substance regardless of its state. Another limitation of this ability is that when she makes a change of properties, all of the substance is changed, regardless of where it was/is, meaning she cannot divide out the substance in parts and manipulate each part to her advantage, with different chemical/physical characteristics for each. It all works as a single unit.
- Quincy: Vollständig Name: Der Schmetterling
- Quincy: Vollständig Appearance: Marchetti's Vollstandig is achieved through the consumption of her spirit weapon, which causes immediate changes to her physical appearance. Upon consumption, her hair lengthens and color is drained from it. Attire-wise, spirit particles spiral around her, forming a cocoon-like structure that eventually breaks apart, revealing a black outfit and a pair of large white wings. Her sclera and iris become blackened while her pupil appears to be pure white in color.
- Quincy: Vollständig Abilities: Upon the consumption of her spirit weapon, Marchetti's body undergoes a physiological change in which her body naturally consumes and synthesizes the substance, which rapidly comprises a majority of her physiological make-up. As such, her body itself becomes the weapon, and she is given the ability to manipulate her own physical characteristics to suit her needs within reason.
- Rüssel - (Proboscis) A simple technique in which Marchetti changes the shape/properties of her own limbs (most commonly her arms). This gives her the ability to form an array of weapons from her hands and arms, and allows her to change the chemical properties of her skin and body to create an array of effects as a result of physical contact.
Puppe - (Chrysalis) A technique in which Marchetti directs the substance towards her wings, increasing its density and defensive capabilities to provide her with a sort of cocoon-like shield.
Metamorphose - (Metamorphosis) A powerful technique in which Marchetti moves from one location to the next by breaking her body apart into thousands of black and white butterflies. Adhering to the laws of her Spirit Weapon, if she changes the property of one butterfly, all butterflies will change. After moving a short distance, the butterflies (or otherwise a cloud or formless blob or whatever she may change the butterflies to) gather together again to reform into Marchetti. This move lasts a total of two posts, and has a four post cooldown.

- Versteckt: (Hiding) Using a special charm that she created herself called the ‘Versteckt’, Marchetti is capable of completely hiding her presence, effectively becoming undetectable by normal means. She explains it as a cloak of invisibility being put over her spiritual presence when she activates the charm. She can be detected through technological means, such as special devices, but not from sensing or the mind.
