[Personality]
Despite her girlish appearance, Sheena is a strong willed girl. She’d rather do things by herself than let someone help her, and it takes a lot for her to actually let someone help her. The only times she does this is when she can’t help herself, and even then she vows to repay her debt to them. And, she will do her best to repay that debt if she can.
On the flip side of that, she likes to help people that need help - even people she’s never even met. On coming to Sylvarant, initially it was Sheena’s only thought to kill the Chosen so that Tethe’alla would continue to prosper. However, seeing the people’s plight and having those few run ins with Colette and her friends only started to change her view on that. Slightly. She still didn’t want Colette to go through the transformation, but instead she wanted to figure out a way to help both worlds instead.
Which brings the next point up - Sheena’s a very loyal person. Even though she was still fully devoted to Tethe’alla, Sheena quickly made friends with Lloyd and his group. She got to the point where she would defend them at any cost - Colette in particular. She even felt the need to defend her against Zelos, who constantly tried to flirt with the other Chosen. Though - who in that series doesn’t feel the need to protect Colette?
She’s also clumsy. Maybe that’s why she and Colette get along so well. Anyway, the first time she’s seen in the whole game - she falls into a hole. And it doesn’t end there; she is relatively clumsy for the rest of the game. Just not as bad as Colette.
Though Sheena has a lot of soft traits to her, she’s also got a lot of rough spots. Her temper is short, so it doesn’t really take her very much to explode on people. Again, it has a lot to do with her loyalty towards her friends. Another thing that’ll spike her temper is flirts - namely Zelos. If he flirted with her, or anyone else around her, she’d make sure he’d get a good smack and a lecture. Maybe if confronted with someone else that isn’t him she wouldn’t react so badly, but since it’s Zelos, she figured she had every excuse to hit him.
One thing that developed Sheena into the way she was was what happened with Volt. It left her unsure of herself, especially with that part of her life. It even made her hesitant to make pacts with the other Summon Spirits. Though through all the help her friends gave her, she was finally starting to build up courage and confidence in herself. However, from the point where she’s taken, unfortunately she doesn’t have a lot.
[Abilities]
She’s a fast and nimble fighter - since she’s a ninja and all, even though she is just a tad clumsy. She also has card-type-objects that she attacks with, and uses the spells that are written in those to do her “abilities.” They’re status attacks mainly, though she can heal and use elemental attacks after she makes pacts with the summon spirits.
Summon spirits. She has Undine, and it was optional to get the other two summon spirits at the point where I’m taking her from. So…she has Volt and Undine. If that’s not okay, let me know. Undine can control water, and Volt can control lightning.
[Other important stuff] um…SHE’S ABUSIVE. Okay I think that’s all.
[Sample post]
[First Person]
If you could go back home, would you? Why or why not?
Well, of course. Who wouldn’t? I mean, this place isn’t bad at all or anything, but I-we have things to do back at home.
What were you doing before now?
I had just made the pact with Volt. And…Corrine…
Would you consider yourself a power hungry individual?
M-Me? No, never! I don’t…I don’t want power.
You're asked to take someone out for a date. Do you agree? If so, describe what you would do. If not, tell why.
Depends. Is it Zelos? [Cue irritated voice.] Who would want to go out with him anyway--
But if it’s anybody else, I guess I’d just…go ask them? Is that an okay answer? Guess I wouldn’t really know what to do unless I did it myself.
Murder. What is your opinion?
It’s not right! People shouldn’t murder other people unless there’s no other choice!
There is a cake in the rain. What do you do?
…What kind of question is this? I would…take it out of the rain?
[Third Person]
It had been six months exactly since she had gotten to Somarium, and had seen Corrine die. Since she made the pact with Volt. A day didn’t go by that she didn’t think of Corrine, or worry about what was going on at home. Sure, Zelos and Lloyd were here, but what about the others? She worried about Raine, Genis, and especially Colette. Were they keeping her out of trouble?
These days were always the hardest.
“Corrine…” Sheena whispered, sitting on her bed. She brought her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, staring at the floor. Her eyes were unfocused, as if she was in a completely different place - which she was. “You wouldn’t believe where I am now. I’m in this place called Somarium, and-“ She paused, her throat constricting as tears formed in her eyes.
“-I keep dreaming about you. I…I miss you.”
Corrine had been one of her best friends. He was there to cheer her on, and even to comfort her when Sheena had needed it most. But now, he wasn’t here, and even though it would have given her a cause to work forward to at home, she had to stop and think. What was she doing here? What could she be better off doing?
Sheena didn’t know. As nice as this place seemed, she didn’t want to be here. She wanted - no, she needed to go home, so they could fix things. It wasn’t right. It just wasn’t.
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] Because I hear that there’s a naughty Zelos that needs some discipline ohohoho~. No really, I’ve just kinda wanted to come back and…there are at least two people here who are filthy, filthy, enablers.
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] Be actiiive. Because a non-active player is…kinda boring >:
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] iii used to be here, but I don’t remember how I found out about it the first time. Probably dear_mun.
[Any questions?] What would you do if there was a cake in the rain?
