(Yep, complete character revision! Well... actually, it's just the name, bio, and one added ability. But the name change is important! There will be one much smaller revision in the future, though... once I figure out what her pendant does...)
Name: Julie Loire
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Affinity: None
Birthplace: Esthar (raised in Deling City)
Weapons: Handgun, retractable-blade survival knife
Appearance: Rather petite and slim, standing at 5'2" and weighing close to 100 pounds (she refuses to tell anyone her exact weight). Has long blonde hair and clear blue eyes. She is usually seen wearing a navy blue minidress, a black leather belt around her waist, a cropped denim jacket, knee-high black socks, and only slightly shorter dark brown boots. She also wears her sidearm holster on her right leg, and a gold pendant that belonged to her mother.
Biography:
For some time, all Julie knew was that she had spent her entire life in Deling City. However, her mother, Alyene, told her she was born in Esthar. It really made no difference to Julie where she was born, though... Deling City was what she knew, so she considered it her hometown for most of her life.
Alyene raised her daughter to be strong and independent... or at least, she tried to. Julie was very shy as a child, and though it is obvious she has a great strength of will and character, she has a hard time expressing it. It didn't help that she was also very accident-prone while she was growing up.
When she turned fourteen, though, her mother began training her in the proper use of weapons for self-defense. Plus, as she was getting older, she began to receive a lot of compliments on her looks. The added confidence from both experiences weren't enough to make her an outrageous extrovert, but it was enough to make her a lot less shy.
The physical awkwardness of her movements as a child was also slowly refined into precise gracefulness as she trained. With that new skill, she began taking an amateur interest in dance, and various performing arts. She hasn't done anything professional, but a few amateur productions in Deling City have been more than willing to give her a chance or two.
Julie then became a waitress at a small cafe in Deling City when she was sixteen. Her friendly demeanor and charming smile made her very popular with the customers, and several who returned to the cafe would ask about her by name. Because she was so well-known, however, rumors could easily be started about her. Eventually, word spread that she was the daughter of the legendarily hapless and yet insanely lucky former G-army soldier, Laguna Loire. Whom most Galbadian residents knew as the President of Esthar by then.
Julie had been told that Laguna was her father, but nobody had ever told her he was Esthar's President, so she had no idea. Due to the rumors being spread, a mysterious group of anti-alliance operatives attempting to break the recent relations between Galbadia and Esthar tried to kidnap Julie. It was this event that led to her eventually meeting her father and older sister. After which she left Deling City, to see her true hometown of Esthar. She now hopes to travel all over the world, and keeps a diary of all of her experiences.
Special Abilities:
- Stun Knife: Julie's knife is equipped with energy modules that allow the blade to be charged with electricity. Even if the knife wound itself does little damage, the electric current could temporarily incapacitate a weaker enemy. Stronger enemies will remain moving, but still take added damage.
- Magic Ammunition: Julie is somehow able to concentrate magical energy into her weapon to fire bullets charged with any kind of element. This has led to rumors that she might be a sorceress. However, she is unable to do anything similar with her knife, so many have since decided that it may just be some kind of strange special feature the weapon has.
- (Unknown): Julie's pendant is rumored to have some kind of enchantment or protection. What exactly it does for her, if anything, is anybody's guess at the moment.
- Limit Skill "Charge": In a desperate situation, Julie's ability to charge her gun with magical energy of any type increases. Rather than charge the ammunition that's already there, this skill allows her to form a sphere of pure magical energy, about the size of a tennis ball, which is then fired from the tip of the gun barrel. This attack has the potential to cause devastating magical damage.
