Persona[/u]
Kureha is a diverse and somewhat complicated woman. No one can be quite sure what she's thinking due to the fact that she normally doesn't show it physically. She gives no facial expressions that give a clue to what exactly is on her mind. People's best bet is to take a chance and guess at it. Kureha can be very loyal to those that she comes to trust, which is a feat considering that she doesn't trust anyone easily. Said person could be the nicest person in the world, she still wouldn't trust them off the back. It takes time for her to truly trust an individual due to all the things that had occured in the world while she grew up. Her main loyality is placed on her older step brother. She can't honestly say that she fully trusts all her family, for specific reasons of her own.

She is one of those people who aren't too fond of technology because of what happened to the world because of it. But does she completely hate it? No. She knows that they are some good and helpful uses of technology and cannnot deny that she needs it for her research. She is extremely self reliant. An independent woman to sum it up. She doesn't accept help very easily because she believes she must do everything herself to get the job done right. As well as the issue that she doesn't wish to drag others within her problems. Kureha is quite the tough girl because she has to be. In order to survive and protect her brother, she needs to be strong and hard. But she does have a kind heart and feels the sorrow of those whose lives were ruined because of this outbreak infection. At times she can be quite the sassy and sarcastic woman, it's all in the nature of her being tough. But once one gets to know her a little better; if they even get that far; they would find that kind person that lays within the fortress she shows. Clearly she is cautious of her surroundings due to the fact that she never knows what's lurking around the corner or in the shadows. Kureha is also a very intelligent woman, and using them to do something good for her brother and even for the world. Using it to search for a cure to this outbreak.[/font][/color][/center]

Appearance

[/u]


Kureha is a beautiful young woman with defining features. Her chest size is quite humble as it is not overly huge, just the right size for body type. From her Latina heritage she has beautifully shaped curves all in the right places. Considering that she works out, her body stays fit and in shape. That can be seen in the tightness of her abs and in the toning of her arms. She is not overly built and keeps her muscles still soft to the touch, to not lose any of those feminine qualities. She has lightly tanned skinned, like a caramel color with beautiful, intense, captivating hazel eyes. Eyes that one can't resist getting lost in. She has short, yet long dark/light brown hair, that drops just a few inches passed her shoulders. But she normally keeps it tied back in a pony tail with two thick strains of hair coming in front but parting off to the sides. Her lips are full and soft, very desirable.

Only her right and left ear lobes are pierced. She usually wears small or medium sized hoops. Her attire consists of anything she feels comfortable in at the time. Though skirts and dresses are a rarity with her considering she's constantly moving.

Ironically enough on her left arm, the upper portion, she dawns a tribal wolf tattoo. Not too small not too big. Medium sized would be more exact. On her lower back she dawns another tribal tattoo. Other than those she has no others.

Fighting Style

[/u]
Street Fighting/Free Style

Small Description[/u]
Kureha was basically taught how to survive by her mother. To use everything in her surroundings to her advantage. To their best capabilities. As such is why she mainly uses the street fighting and free style approach. Kureha uses her intelligence, and instincts to get her through any battle. Kureha uses anything from kicks to punches, to her flexible and acrobatic skills to do what she must to survive.

Strengths[/u]
Definitly her mind, is one of her biggest strengths. Being able to decipher situations quickly makes her life easier to get out of most situations. Though some others might take a bit longer. Her legs are a very strong and important part of her being, especially when fighting. She uses them to evade as much as she can. She's also very strong willed and determined.

Weaknesses[/u]
As her legs are a strong point for her, so are they a weak point. For if one was to take them out, then she would be rendered helpless. Kureha is very self reliant and doesn't often accept help from others, mainly because she rather not get them involved in her problems. Not only that but always because she's not very trusting.[/font][/center][/color]

Her-story

[/u]

I was born October 8, 2007 under the astrological sign known as the Libra, in Japan. Later in my life I was told that on the night of my birth the Hunter's moon was high in the sky. The Hunter's moon or the Blood moon is the first full moon after the harvest moon. My mother, Carly Lennox, saw this and considered giving me the name Artemis - after the Greek goddess of the moon and hunt. But she had already picked a name for me and decided to stick with it, giving me the name Artemis as my middle instead. And therefore Kureha Artemis Lennox was the name that was bestowed upon me. I never knew my father for he had abandoned my mother a few months into her pregnancy. My mother was clearly furious of his abandonment, but she was no weakling and faced any challenge that came her way head on. My mother was a mercenary and a scientist. She was a very intelligent and resourceful woman and made her money in both fields of work. Supposeably my father was a mercenary as well, but like I said he's never been apart of my life so it's no matter to me who or what he was. My mother along with her closest friends and family helped take care of me, especially during these times where Roujin Kotosuma had been advancing the technological industries of Japan and Asia. The United States were making many threats but it seemed that Mr. Kotosuma would continue to ignore them, only to anger them more. My mother was an American citizen whom had moved to Japan a few years prior to work for Japan, and Roujin's father's company, later for Roujin. She was paided a good amount of money for her services, mainly as a scientist. Though she was a bit young, she was one of the best in her field and highly respected.

In early 2008, my mother met the man that would soon become my step father, or rather to me just my father - since he would be the only one that I would ever know as such. His name was Vincent Castle, he too was a scientist working for the Neo Angelic Corporation. They worked close together on the tasks that were handed to them, not completely sure as to what Mr. Kotosuma was planning to do with most of the things they helped design and build. But their minds weren't fully focused on that, they seemed to be more focused on one another. Building their own relationship. My mother had discovered that Vincent had a young son, Tarish, whom was two years older than I was. Tarish's mother had died in child labor, leaving Vincent as a single parent just as my mother was. I guess I can't say I always wanted a sibling, for I was a little too young to even really think about it - so I suppose I could say that I was wanted another to play with. Tarish was the best big brother a little sister could ask for. Their attraction grew for each other greatly and quickly and by the end of 2008 they were made husband and wife. My name know changing to Kureha Artemis Castle. I had a real family now. But a year later my new family would be threatened as Japan's technology rose to an seemingly all time high. Mr. Kotosuma's Neo Angelic Corporation having majority control of Japan decided to wage war against the United States. It was then when my parents realized why they had been working so hard and pushed to come up with new technology. He had been seemingly planning this war all along. Both my parents no longer wanted any part of the corporation and wanted nothing to do with the war, so they both resigned from their positions at the Neo Angelic Corporation. I was only two years old when the war had begun and my parents took me and Tarish into hiding.

The war lasted for years, devastating our cities. All because of Roujin's immature and selfish choices. My parents grew to dislike Roujin and later on I would grow to hate him. There was so much noise. So much screaming. So many dead bodies. Many people lost their lives; lost loved ones all because of one person's foolish pride and ignorance. Though in the end, by the Decemeber 2015, Japan and the Neo Angelic Corporation had won the war. But the battle wasn't completely over. So much had been destoryed, not just buildings and structures - but lives. Both my parents had lost family and friends in the struggle, but we still had each other. I might've only been eight years old, but I remember that speech that Mr. Kotosuma said. He had apologized for his foolishness and vowed that we would ''rise'' again. I remember the people cheering and my parents rolling their eyes. It was something that could've been avoided. Something that shouldn't have happened to begin with but it did and there was nothing anyone could have done about it now. Four years later, life seemed to be looking up again. My family and I had been sharing many of those memorable family moments. Mine and Tarish's bond had gone even stronger than before. As we became more connected to the world and each other, other's seemed to begin to disconnect themselves. Such as the people of Ginza who wanted nothing to do with anything technological, moved away from Tokyo and formed their own community of Ginza-Ko. I visted the place a few times. It was so peaceful and soothing. The nosies were natural and easy on the ears. It was a nice place to live, but my parents were very much into technology so there in Tokyo is where we stayed.

Deciding to stay in Tokyo would soon become a fatal mistake on their part. For soon an outbreak would begin. Huge amounts of Neo bionic generators that had been built in Daikanyama were destoryed in the war, causing a massive spread of infections. There was something called Neo genetic spores within the generators that spread through the air and polluted the city. Desperately trying to destory and further outbreak, Mr. Kotosuma quarantined the area. Sealing the enitre city off. Everyone who was infected was evacuated to other parts of Tokyo. I remembered being so scared about the whole situation. Was I infected? Was anyone in my family infected? Sadly yes, a lot of my family members and friends, even family friends had been infected. I didn't want to go. I didn't want to leave anyone of them behind. I remembered screaming out for them as my parents pulled me away. They felt the most ashamed because they new they had a hand in creating these spores. I never saw them again after that. In 2015, I was eighteen years old and a sophmore in college. I had graduated from high school at an early age due to my hard work and intelligence. Things seemed to be somewhat ok in the world again. I was living my life as normal as I could be. Hanging out with Tarish almost all the time. I love my big brother as he loved me. But it seemed like he loved me much more than the boundaries of sibilings. As disgusting as many may find it to be, we weren't blood related at all. But he never tried truly anything, and I never saw him in any other way other than my brother.

I had thought that everything was over, but my parents had believed otherwise. For the past few years they had been working hard, day and night searching for a way to reverse what they helped do. They had become a bit distant from my brother and myself because of their extensive researching. I had been studying science so that I too could help them. I was the best in my class just like my mother. But they didn't want me to get involved. They wanted me to just live my life normally. But I couldn't. It seemed as though that I was changing inside. Something on the news had arose speaking that the infection went world wide and a new race had evolved and with the help of something known as the Neo power cells gained the ability to control the elements. I soon discovered that I was one of these people, as did my parents realized they were too. Some of their friends and family as well. But my brother, my brother was infected with the original strain - but it wasn't clear as to why he hadn't started changing until now. Tarish had began to physically change. His muscle mass had increased, his skin tone seemed to become a bit more of a blueish color. His nails grew a little longer and sharper. His eyes turned to gold, and small fangs appeared in his mouth. But his face still seemed to hold onto his human qualities. Seeing their son beginning to change into a creature only made them wish to work harder. Even with their protest, I stepped in to help. He was my brother and I feared what might happen to him. After all I knew their were those in the world that would try and hunt him down or take him for experimentation. I would not allow such a thing. How right I was. Mr. Kotosuma found out about thise new race and began a hunt for them. My family was one of the first to be discovered. How? I'm not sure. But I still believed that someone close to us had told. I believed he remembered my parents working for the Corporation before and demanded for them to find a cure for it. But they hadn't found one yet. Furious, without hesitation or even giving them a chance they were killed. As most of my family and friends were killed and some even taken for experimentation. My boyfriend at the time and even my first love was also killed trying to protect me and my brother. Allowing us to escape.

For years now I've been on the run with my older brother. Trying to keep him safe. We've feld to Ginza-ko. The only place that truly accepted what he and I was, especially him. That felt his pain. When we left I made sure to grab as much as my parents research as I could, sadly I didn't grab everything and the pieces I do have are just that - pieces. Incomplete sheets of data. I've had to start from scratch to discover a cure. I hate Roujin Kotosuma. I blame him entirely for what the world has become and the suffurage the people must face. Do I hate techology? In some ways I do. But I have always been reliant on it for certain things in my life. It has it's good and helpful uses, as well as it's bad. As much as I hate to admit it, I need it to further my research. Without it, I'd probably get next to nowhere. My mission in life is to find a cure for my brother and all those infected. Secondary to that, would be to get my revenge for my family, friends and former love. My word is my bond.[/color][/center][/font][/i]
