Krista Alora

[Krista Alora]

Name: Krista Alora

Age: 18

Sex: Female

Species: Tiger Fox

Alignment: Hero

Faction: Freedom Fighters

Appearance: If it wasn’t for certain noticeable factors Krista could be mistaken for a pure breed fox. Her figure and tail are very much like other vulpines but there the similarity ends. Her fur is a deep orange colour, inherited from her mother, and is covered in black stripe markings. The most noticeable of these are across her tails, upper arms, mid rift, ears and the underside of her muzzle. She has other black markings but a lot of them fade into her orange fur making them hard to distinguish.

Krista has a habit of using a lot of eye shadow too, almost making it look like she has stripes above her eyes. This is not the case though and most assume she does it to match in with her hair. This is a rich black colour and cut short around her shoulders although she doesn’t style it that much, letting it fall around her shoulders however it likes. For note, her eyes are green.

In terms of clothing Krista wears whatever she feels like. She has no real sense of style, or at least if she does it is deemed unusual by just about everyone. Long trousers and small tops is one of her favourites.

Personality: Krista is a sugar sweet person, almost too sweet in fact. She’d readily hug a complete stranger or burst into song without warning. This has caused her to acquire a lot of friends, not because she is in desperate need of them but simply because people trust her, even if she does get rather annoying at times.

To say Krista is all sweetness and charm though is far from the truth. When annoyed she can turn rather sour, often stewing over things that bug her and grumbling loudly to those around her. This annoyance can stem from many things and is completely unpredictable and dependant on her mood. She can be enjoying the day and suddenly start complaining loudly because someone ate the last cream bun.

She also has a strong sense of justice and gets riled up by bullies and such like. At times like this her sugar coated outer drops and reveals a ferocity usually expected from her kind. To say she is a girly girl a vast majority of the time she has a nasty right hook.

Family:
Franklin Alora – Franklin is Krista’s father, a middle aged fox working within the government. He is a gentle soul and enjoys the simple things in life when he’s not tied to his desk.
Mia Alora – Krista’s mother, a tigeress in her late 40’s and caretaker of the Yadan martial art circle.
Phie Alora – Pronounced “Fi”, Phie is thirteen and Krista’s younger sister and a rampant manga fan.

Transport:
Krista is not yet old enough to drive but has adopted another form of transport instead. She uses a pair of glide shoes similar in design to those Shadow uses.

Weapons:
Krista has no physical weapon and instead fights with a unique ability known as Spirit Dancing. In essence when Krista dances her natural energies resonate with those of the planet. Acting on her emotions and will her steps cause these energies to condense and form into powerful attacks.

Moves:
Krista's moves rely on her dances. The longer her dances goes on the more powerful the move becomes but it if is interupted the move stops. When possible she prefers to fight from the rear and stay out of the direct line of fire. This is not only because of her lack of close combat moves but also because she tends to get lost in her dances and the music and can at times stop paying attention to the actual battle at hand.

1) Celestial Spiral
A dance that focusses on spins and twists, each spin sends out a wave of tiny particles that pepper the area. The longer the dance goes on the more particles are produced. This dance is little more than a light show for some time, the first particles produced feel like little more than rain. It takes a while for the particles to grow powerful enough to cause any kind of harm.

2) Orion's Arrow
A directed blast of energy that arcs upwards and away from Krista towards its target. Each shot after the firsts gains in strength as the dance goes on. Each blast has to wrap itself around Krista before it fires off thus the move is easy to see and thus avoid to those who are paying attention.

3) Nova's Mirror
With each step of this dance Krista creates duplicate copies of herself. They have no physical presence but look exactly like her and dance along with her. This dance serves as a distraction. More copies are created as the dance continues. This dance is extremely tiring for Krista and she can often fatigue herself and stop after several minutes.

4) Solar Tendrils
In this dance Krista can form the energies into physical tethers that wrap around her targets and hold them in place. As the dance goes on either more tendrils are created or the existing ones are strengthened. Whilst the victim of the tendrils cannot move the exposed tendrils are easy to attack and break for anyone else.

Biography:
Krista was born into a fairly normal family, her mother and father occupying normal run of the mill jobs. Krista herself was a little surprise to her parents, whilst the chances of a hybrid had been possible they had not expected it. Krista’s father was a fox, her mother being a tigeress, which resulted in Krista being born a tigerfox.

Her younger years were filled with the usual kiddy stuff, early bed times, annoying children shows and being made to eat vegetables. Krista spent a lot of time with her mother, her father being involved in various government activities for a majority of his time. When Krista was five her younger sister was born, her younger sibling looking very much like her mother apart from a few tell tale hybrid give aways.

The two siblings grew up together, both being rather close and doing virtually everything together. Phie was very much a tomboy though, a complete opposite of Krista who was much more girly in her attitude. This didn’t stop them socialising with each other, the pair slagging playful abuse off each other all the time much to the disapproval of her parents.

As Krista entered her teens her mother decided to show her the work she was involved in, martial arts. A second dan and a class teacher, Mia had been waiting until Krista became old enough to be taught. Even if she decided not to pursuit it in later life she figured a bit of basic self defence was a worthwhile addition to any young girls education. And so Krista became the newest member to her mothers class. It was a bit of an awkward time for Krista as she got used to the class, a lot of the other member thinking she’d be amazing being the daughter of the class teacher. In truth Krista was hopeless at first, the tigerfox taking months to pick up the simplest of techniques. Krista still found it fun though, making a few friends within the group and slowly picking up the techniques.

Around her 15th year Krista developed a love for dance. The young girl turned out to be a star in the making too, her feline grace only adding to her skills. She became obsessed with dance music and started to participate in competitions. It was during one such competition that an event happened that changed her life. As she let herself fall into the rhythm of the music swirls of mist started to appear around her. Krista didn't even seem to notice as people began to point and stare. The mist began to gain a physical presence and washed around the hybrid. Her dance was quickly stopped.

Over the next few months she began to learn more about her seemingly unique skill. Soon entitled 'Spirit Dancing' her technique soon became one of great interest. Her parents didn't really know what to think about it and where a little afraid at first until they started trawling through their family history in an attempt to find some possible connections to the past. They reasoned that this ability didn't just come out of nowhere and their searching eventually paid off. It was quite a distant link but the sister of Mia's great grandmother had been reported to 'dance with the dead'. The link soon lead to Mia examining her entire family tree and upon doing so even more incidents were discovered. It appeared that the condition was genetic but had not been explored in many years. It likely would have remained hidden for good if Krista hadn't taken to dance as much as she had.

Krista's new life didn't last long though as the dimensional clash occured. With Station Square begin removed from the world she awoke from the disaster to find herself in the Great Forest. Over time she met the Freedom Fighters and learned of what had happened. Deciding to join them she has set her sights on helping to heal the planet and hopefully reunite herself with her family.

Skills:
Agility – Krista has a lot of feline genes in her blood which has resulted in her being very agile. She can readily land on her feet after jumps, has a talent for wall jumping and can gracefully dodge round blows.
Gliding – Not in the flying sense but in the skimming sense. Krista’s shoes allow her to move quickly and glide along the street with ease. Being part cat and light on her feet to start with she finds things such as skating backwards and grinding very easy, something she does readily when she wants to show off.

Strengths:
+ Krista has a sharp mind even if she doesn’t look like it most of the time. She is in fact quite a smart person.
+ Krista is quick, surprisingly quick at times.
+ Her mother’s training has given her a very good grasp of fighting, Krista able to read situations easily and counter them effectively.

Weaknesses:
- Although physically fit her light frame means she is vulnerable to hits.
- Krista still has things to learn and as such she sometimes takes on situations that are above her ability without realising it until its too late.
- Krista is still young and as such her intelligence is limited by her experience.

Well, I think the powers sound fair. Some of the abilities sound a little strong, but if you need to dance for a while to make them work that balances out. Do you want more moves though? I think we allow up to six now. If all you've got for offense is these powers, then I'd personally want as many moves as possible.

I will say though I'd like a good explanation for the "Spirit Dancing" if possible. It's just that the power kind of seems to come out of nowhere in the backstory.
