So, tomorrow will be another number
for the one who had a name
a desert wind, a perverse desire to win
a history buried in shame[/color].

FUJIBAYASHI, S H E E N A
Clamor
Name:
Sheena Fujibayashi
Gender:
Female
Date of Birth:
December 18th
Age:
19
Class:
Hero; Summoner
Weapon Class:
Spell Cards, Techs, Summons
Attack Type:
Both Cards and Techs are used interchangeably at close range, but summons are handy for enemies that keep their distance.
Appearance:
Standing at a not-so-impressive height of 5'5" and weighing in at 106 lbs, the Mizuho ninja isn't what you could call an 'intimidating presence' at first sight. Her purple-ish sheened hair is usually tied up with a ribbon or two into a ponytail that fans out behind her head in an unruly fashion, while her bangs are left free to cover her oval face and almond shaped brown eyes. Her attire just screams 'foreign' at a glance; obviously tailored to allow maximum movement with a minimum of sound, a loose lilac coloured coat is draped over her torso and tied shut with a pink bow that hangs down her back and small, neatly tied red rope. Under this coat is a white corset-like garment that leaves very little to the imagination in terms of modesty, but covers the portion of her chest that's important at any rate. Matte black sleeves and leggings cover her arms and legs, connecting to detached lilac armlets/gloves and comfy boots of the same hue.
Personality:
A hot headed and proud individual, Sheena’s tomboyish outer shell guards the more damaged core of her being—not only severely undercut by the death of one of her closest confiders and companions (Corrine), but the treachery of another companion and ally (Zelos). Her smart mouth and sharper tongue serve as a venomous rebuke to those that pry too intently into her armoured ego, which often leaves the impression that the young girl is a spitfire and not all that good a companion or friend, let alone some stranger to be around. Suffice to say she isn’t all that popular with people too timid to get to know her.
Fujibayashi’s low self-esteem and reflective personality might come as a shock to newly made friends or allies; when she really puts her mind to things, the ninja can be quite the analyst. However, her hot temper and somewhat flustered nature tends to get in the way of intellectual moments, as brief as they might be. Besides, since when has being the ‘deep philosopher’ helped any while facing down a creature or summon several times her own size? Never. That’s when.
Lately Sheena’s more contemplative side is less and less jealously guarded than prior to the whole two worlds fiasco, perhaps sparked by the absence of a certain furry companion at her side. Just mentioning Corrine can cause her to go silent for a time in sombre and lonely consideration, but the ninja often finds ways to shake off her funk and get back into her usual angry/awkward/unintentionally amusing self in no time.
Sheena’s intentional bending of the rules in terms of her assassination pact with her hirer hints at more morality than she would like to admit to; further surprising insight into her psyche is when she halts to admire the roses in Zelos’ mansion. A softer, gentler Sheena is certainly there, just very well hidden. After all, who would suspect the Violent Demonic Banshee with a nasty BANHAMMER!Slap to have a feminine side?

History:
Sheena took on the mission of assassinating Sylvarant's Chosen in order to prove her devotion to Mizuho by saving Tethe'alla. Her resolve toward the mission was caused by her need to make up for what had happened years ago with Volt and also a need to fit in; as a summoner, Sheena has elven blood, so even outside of Mizuho she felt alone. But after joining her friends on the journey to reunite the two worlds, everything changes.
Lloyd, although naive, acts as the voice of reason that changes many people's minds. In Sheena's case, it's only with the support of Lloyd and her friends in the party that she's able to gain the courage to form a pact with Volt again. Sheena was uneasy about forming pacts in the first place, especially when asked to attempt another pact with Volt. Upon arriving in Mizuho, Sheena runs away from her friends until Lloyd speaks with her. Sheena decides to form the pact, and upon doing so she gets frustrated with the fact that Volt is not speaking. The summon spirit attacks, but Corrine, the man-made summon spirit that Sheena first formed a pact with, takes the hit and dies. Inspired by Corrine's sacrifice and the support from her friends, Sheena finally forms a pact with Volt, thereby regaining her confidence. In a particular sidequest, Sheena and co. can visit the Temple of Lightening and retrieve the Chief's spirit to awaken him from his coma. After that, Sheena is named the new Chief of Mizuho. Another trying moment follows when the party goes to fight Cruxis. Sheena get trapped in an illusion of Kuchinawa telling her that she is responsible for the deaths of the people of Mizuho, but Lloyd helps Sheena come back to her senses.
Aside from re-uniting the worlds and defeating Cruxis, another goal of the party is to end discrimination, mainly against half elves but also to prove that everyone has a place in the world, and their lives has meaning. Sheena, who felt isolated for her whole life, finds acceptance within the party and believes strongly in the cause. She's able to face her fears with their help and support. Throughout the game, she is able to make the change from a clumsy assassin who is afraid of failure to a confident hero and leader of Mizuho.
Other Information:
Gah. I didn't see the whole 'account for the character' info until after I made my username. Dx I'll make one for Sheena if this application is accepted.
