Name: Sylph Brynhildr
Age: 15
Race: Possessed Human
Sex: Female
Starting Planet: Earth
Profession: Gambler
Fighting Style: Southern Praying Mantis places a heavy emphasis on close-range fighting. This system is known for its short power methods, and has aspects of both internal and external techniques. In application, the emphasis is on hand and arm techniques, and a limited use of low kicks. The application of close combat methods with an emphasis on hands and short kicking techniques makes the Southern Praying Mantis art somewhat akin to what many would call "street fighting." The hands are the most readily available for attack and defence of the upper body, and protect the stylist by employing ruthless techniques designed to inflict serious injury. The legs are moved quickly into range through footwork to protect and defend the body, and attacks are limited to short kicking actions so as to never leave the Southern Mantis combatant off-balance and vulnerable.
Short Bio: Raised by a rich family the noble child was not allowed to train seriously with fellow martial artists out of fear of being damaged, due to the requests of her parents; the fact that she was born blind making her seem far to weak. She trained in secret with ancient spirits of the land which has given her a radically different fighting style then the normal people of her village. Due to this, and he skill that far exceeds that of her peers, she has taken to underground street fighting to earn zeni that she does not need.
One night while sleeping she was possessed by the ancient wolf diety by the name of Hecatoncheir, who seeked to once again enter the realm of mortals. This spirit gave itself to the land around the village to turn the frozen tundra fertil, and was recently betrayed through new farming techniques to the outside world. While once revered, and feared, it is now a forgotten memory of a ancient time.
Through possession the once blind child was gifted with the blood red eyes of the famous wolf diety, allowing her to see the world for the first time. Along with this she gained wolf ears, and a tail; two things that are far harder to hide then the ruby eyes.
General Description: She is 5'7 with brown wolf ears, a brown bushy tail with a white tip, and otherwise pale features. Oh, and ruby eyes. I'll get back to this.
