Name: Shelly Beane
Nickname: Shelly Belly (only by her parents)
Age: 15
Birthday: April 4
Sign: Aries
Gemstone: Jasper
Blood Type: O-
Fav. Food: Frozen banana dipped in chocolate, coconut chicken with steamed rice, roasted brussells sprouts
Hated Food: Cold cereal. So soggy and gross :[
School: Meadowview High School
Hobbies:
Haunted Houses - Shelly has adored haunted houses since she was a wee sma'. Every year since she was 8, her parents have taken her to whatever haunts can be found. And always ones that were age appropriate, though any fears that the more adult haunted houses would scare her proved to be unfounded. In fact, Shelly is in her element when she's wandering through whatever houses or corn mazes are available. It's all in good fun and great fun to be scared for a little while. In addition, Shelly has taken to volunteering at the local haunted house the last two years. And all of this isn't even counting the books and souvenirs she has from each haunt she's visited.
Her interests are not just confined to Octoberween either. Traveling carnivals boasting dark rides, actual for-realsies haunted places, anything that might offer up a bit of a thrill is well within Shelly'd wheelhouse for happy fun times.
Wrasslin' - You wouldn't think it to look at her, but Shelly (thanks to her mother) is an ardent fan of professional wrestling. She was reared on old tapes of WWE in their heyday and can rattle off numerous facts at the drop of a hat. Her fangirlish squeals when she learned that her family was moving to Destiny City, home of DON DIABLO could be heard three states over. Shelly will watch whatever wrestling she can and is always up for hanging out with her mommy when there are matches happening in town. Of course, she simply adores Don Diablo, but there is still room in her heart for Asuka, Marty Scurll and Dalton Castle and his Boys. Oh, and Ladybeard. That man's wrestling ability is as impressive as his cosplay abilities.
Critters - Any fan of cheerful chaos in the form of various pets will be right at home at the Beane residence. Shelly loves animals. All animals. Even the creepy ones. She has pet tarantulas, a rosy boa that is a daily receiver of snoot boops and kissus as well as a small pack of foster kittens and two senior pitties named Brick and Brack that've been with the family since she was 10. Shelly loves them all and does her best to learn as much as possible about their care so that they all lead happy, healthy lives. If she doesn't become a wrestler she's going to go for veterinary medicine. Or maybe both.
Virtues:
Boundless Enthusiasm - If you ever need someone to pick you up and cheer you on, Shelly is your girl. She is an endless fount of enthusiasm and excitement. Every day is greeted with wonder and a manic cheer as she considers the possibilities. Shelly is never not excited and ready to go out and seize life by the balls. It's rather like being friends with a cheerful tornado that is always asking "OOOOH! WHAT'S THAT?!?"
Kind-Hearted - In spite of the mildly frightening impression she is given to make, Shelly is incredibly kind to those she meets whether they are a people or not. She wants to make sure that everyone is doing okay and has what they need to be safe and happy. She is constantly fostering kittens (with her parents blessing and assistance) and often volunteers in other ways to help folks out. Frankly, Shelly would happily bleed herself dry if it would help someone in need.
Flaws:
Brash - For all her good points, Shelly quite often veers into rude and overbearing in her enthusiasms. She sees no reason why you can't or won't go along with her ideas and has no problem telling you what a heckin' candyass you are. Only in far less polite terms. Shelly is a smol girl with the attitude of a 500 pound silverback gorilla. But at least she hasn't resorted to flinging her own poo when confronting others.
Oblivious - Always on the go is a wonderful thing, but unfortunately not without it's drawbacks. Such as Shelly's oft-times obliviousness to the world around her. This has resulted in her not only being perpetually late for everything, but also caused her to neglect other duties. It is incredibly common for her to stroll up 15 minutes late with an iced tea in hand and wondering why you're pitching such a darn fit. Things are still going to happen and get done, yo. It is also incredibly common for her to miss important lessons in class. Oh, she's not skipping class, but she will sit there and somehow the lecture will just swoop right over her head. Or the time that she was so busy considering supplies that she needed for the kitten pack that she never saw the Don't Walk sign flashing and was nearly turned into road paste. Shelly tries to pay attention to the world round her, but she's just so darn busy that somehow, the world just slips by without her noticing.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Wide eyes (as if in perpetual delight) fringed with long lashes. Dual tone with #8DDBE2 fading to #F2FDFE
Hair: Color/Style / Hip length, sometimes worn in messy pigtails. Usually has a cute clip or two.
Face: Diamond shaped with wide, high cheekbones, pale complexion, slightly upturned nose, arching eyebrows and average ears. Usually seen grinning widely. Has multiple piercings in each ear as well as a lip and nostril piercing.
Clothes: Shelly is such a Hot Topic child it is not even funny.

Senshi: Sailor Tololo, Senshi of Friendship
Challenge: I'unno. My BFF...?
Fuku Colour: White
Main Color: ███
Secondary Color: ███
Tertiary Color: ███
Fuku:
Collar -- IDEK! CC? Help?
Bow -- Front = CC, Back = CC sash, please!
Bodice -- Some sort of cute crop top
Sleeves -- Got sleeves?
Brooch -- IDEK! XD
Bottoms -- Tiny shorts!
Tiara -- cute star clips on each side of the head with a bead string (I would not object if they looked like paopu) between that goes over her bangs
Choker -- Let's go classic
Shoes -- Oh! Oh! Cute sandals, but like the straps going up her legs look like friendship bracelets!
Gloves -- CC
Accessories -- Cute earrings, of course with the rest of her piercings, maybe some cute bangle bracelets or arm rings?
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Simple and Clean
Effect: Tololo whispers her attack before pointing her finger at her opponent's heart and firing a pale greenish-white energy beam that resembles a star fall. When this beam hits, Tololo's magic forms a very brief connection between her heart and her opponent's heart. This connection makes her opponent feel as though they've been friends forever and may cause them to hesitate briefly in attacking her as such. Tololo can use this attack 3 times per battle for a total of 25 seconds each. As the magic fades, it leaves behind a faint scent associated with childhood friendships.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Dive into the Heart
Effect: Tololo whispers her attack before pressing her fingers to her heart and then flinging her arm/hand out and firing a slightly larger greenish-white energy beam at an opponent's heart. This time, the beam is wreathed by what looks like pale gold 'beads' and it is able to branch into two beams. When these beams hit, they form a slightly deeper connection between hearts. This connection makes her opponent(s) feel as though they've been friends forever and may cause them to hesitate in attacking her. Tololo can use this attack 2 times per battle for 35 seconds each and affect up to two people. As the magic fades, it leaves behind a faint scent associated with childhood friendships and a feeling of wistfulness.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Sanctuary
Effect: With one hand over her heart and the other pointed to the sky, Tololo whispers her attack and summons what looks like a large (person sized), glowing heart within a star directly above her. Anyone caught in the light from the star with Tololo (up to 10' radius) will have their hearts warmly connected together as if they've all been lifelong friends. This attack may be used once per battle for a total duration of 40 seconds. During this time the power of friendship may make them hesitate before attacking one another. As the magic fades, it leaves behind a faint, lingering scent associated with childhood friendships and a feeling of wistful loss.

Notes
• Shelly's mother is Arilee Selvig (Bindhi Coryn)'s father's sister. Shelly and Bindhi are cousins.
• When not being shipped off to boarding schools, Arilee often stayed with her aunt's family and babysat Shelly.
• When the Beane family moved to Destiny City, it was after the tragic death of Mrs Beane's brother and his second wife. They had hoped to find Arilee. They did not. This is something of a tragedy for them, though they are reasonably certain that Arilee is still alive. Just off living somewhere else.
• Shelly learned a lot of the wrong lessons in dealing with people from her cousin.
• Shelly's parents signed off on her nose and lips piercings as they don't mind indulging her. However, for any non-ear related piercing she wants, they make her research it. And hope to goodness it ends up grossing her out enough to stop wanting it. So far this approach has stopped at least three questionable piercings.
--------------
Yes, I went for a KH spin. Not changing the names of her attacks because they amuse me too much. Sorry, not sorry. ♥

Hello Daisy! Beane is available as a last name, although since Shelly is not currently an acquired character you'll have to double-check the availability to make sure it's still open once you do acquire her. Hobbies check out, although I do have a question about the hobby 'Haunted Houses'. Right now this leads as a hobby that is only applicable during one specific time of the year. What does she do about this hobby when it's not Fall? Does this hobby just include jump-scare type places that pop up around Halloween or does it extend to truly haunted houses and historic places of note? I think you could expand this into something that gives her a bit more to do all the time! For 'kind-hearted', you have it noted that Shelly runs her own kitten rescue. That's pretty impressive for a 15 year old, but how does she go about doing that? I think what might work out better for a young lady, especially one who volunteers, is fostering kittens -- potentially with the assistance of a parent, given kittens require a lot of attention and frequent feedings when they're small, which might interfere with school! It would go great with her 'critters' hobby! Everything else on the civ side of things checks out, so now we can move on to the powered side of things! The good news is that Tololo is available as a name. Just like with the last name, however, you will have to double-check to make sure this name is still available once you acquire a slot for her! The bad news is that unfortunately I can't find any mythos linking the real star fruit, or carambola, with the paopu fruit from the Kingdom Hearts series which means that the attacks that you have written, as wonderful as they are, really don't have anything to do with a star fruit other than being heart-shaped and carrying the aroma. That said, I do have a few options/suggestions for alternative routes that you could take: With minor tweaks to the attacks, you could change the sphere to one of the following: Friendship, Connection, Bonds. With an overhaul to the attacks, focusing on the other aspects of the star fruit itself you could still keep the sphere and the overall appearance. Star fruit cross section projectiles that have negative side-effects for those hit with the attack, for example. There is also the possibility of going a third, entirely different route with her and finding a way to make some aspects of this work for a Cosmos Knight as, speaking from personal experience, it's easy enough to slip in a few nods to Kingdom Hearts with the star shaped symbol of Cosmos. If you want to chat about any of the options or anything in regards to this critique please let me know! Quote me here whenever you're ready to proceed!

Thank you for making the adjustments! Civ side looks good, and I think that the changes you made to the sphere and attacks will work out really well! That said, here's a trial stamp! One of the GMs will be by to confirm! Good luck with your quest!
