Name: Valerie Chen Alias: Kunoichi Superhero/Villain: Superhero (But she prefers the term [i]Vigilante[/i]) Age: 15 Gender: Female Powers/Equipment: - [i][b]Hatsuen-dan Smoke Bombs:[/b][/i] Everyone knows that ninjas and kunoichi use smoke bombs to make dramatic entrances and exits! Just don't inhale the smoke, lest you want to get asthma or Tuberculosis. She carries at least five a day. - [b][i]Silver Star Shurikens:[/i][/b] Baka! Everyone knows that [b]REAL[/b] ninjas use shurikens that they throw at high speeds! When one isn't enough, just keep on throwing more! You're bound to hit the enemy, right? Don't ask her where she keeps these things. - [b][i]Shinko Kunai:[/i][/b] One of the marks of being a [b]TRUE[/b] ninja! It's multi-functional! You can stab people with it, throw it [b]AND[/b] stab people with it, attach those explosive tag thingy's, and create holes to like spy on people and stuff! It's basically a Japanese Swiss Army knife! She normally carries one, but keeps one or two extras if she manages to lose her main one. - [b][i]Mizugumo Water Sandals:[/i][/b] It's a little-known fact that ninjas can walk on water! No, they're not Jesus or anything, they use these! We don't really know how or why, but it just does. What? Mythbusters said they don't work?! Baka! Stop watching those lame American shows!! Just because of that, we're not tomodachi anymore! - [b][i]Gensō no Kabe:[/i][/b] Okay, so it can't kill people or stab them in the eye or something. But...It does make a (very obvious) paper wall that automatically matches other walls! Sure, sure..It's hard to breathe while being covered by the thing but hey, you're virtually invisible! - [b][i]Saoto hikigane Headphones:[/i][/b] What do you mean you can't see 'em?! Oh...Right, they're supposed to be invisible! These useful headphones are more than just for rocking out to [i]Morning Musume[/i] or [i]AKB48[/i] for they have an alternate setting that lets you eavesdrop on the conversations of people! Isn't that sugoi?! - [b][i]Ninja hansha shinkei:[/i][/b] Ninjas are fast! They're agile! They use the shadows to their advantage! Ninjas are like thieves! Only better!! Plus, they don't exactly steal your flat-screen TV or break into your homes...That's just so warui! Weakness(es): - [b][i]Limited Resources:[/i][/b] One of Valerie's biggest weaknesses! A lot of her equipment is numbered or have numbered uses, plus it's really easy to overpower her and just snatch her gadgets for yourself. - [b][i]Light:[/i][/b] Ehh? Nani?! Baka, baka! Ninjas aren't vampires like that ugly Edward from Twilight! But...It does make them highly visible and makes them stick out like a sore thumb. This is why she doesn't go out in broad daylight. - [b][i]She's a weab-I mean an Otaku:[/i][/b] Squee!! Did you see the latest season?! Wasn't the shujinko so sugoi desu ne?! Eh? Don't make fun of anime desu! Everyone knows that they're the best thing about glorious Nippon! You're just urayamashi that they're better and your country isn't! (Self-explanatory. The minute she [b]SEES[/b] something related to Japan, she goes ballistic.) Appearance: [url=http://safebooru.org//images/1451/a83a357787080b2e95e3a88f2b41c42084d1ea78.jpg]Shy, silent, soft-spoken Straight-A student by day...[/url] [url=http://safebooru.org//images/1462/a5480ce265cce2a6b90a2f61d6d6e96a10db80fc.png]Perky, loud, energetic [s]and annoying[/s] ninja by night![/url] Personality: If you ask any of her friends what she's like, they'll all basically say the same things: Quiet, shy, timid, perfectionist, genius, etc.. They're all what define Valerie Chen...By day anyway. What is it that changes a person's personality the moment the moon decides to greet us? When night comes (Or at least when the school day ends) Valerie instantly locks herself in her room, turns on her laptop and sheds her facade of being the [i]'Perfect'[/i] girl in school. She becomes loud, obnoxious, and becomes a full blown Otaku! (As she likes to call it...) She spends hours of her day glorifying the all utsukushidesu Nippon, watching anime non-stop, eat Pocky and sushi that she constantly demands her mother to buy and fan all over the bishounen she encounters. Backstory: Valerie Chen was born to a Chinese mother and an American father. Her childhood was a pleasant and constant reminder of her mother's struggle for her to become perfect. And it shows! At a young age Valerie could play the piano and had remarkable grades in school. When she wasn't stuck reading a book, she would be studying for her next exam or practicing the perfect solo for her piano performance. How could one such as herself fall from grace? It all started when her mother got pissed when she got a [i]B[/i] on a Science quiz that she didn't get to study for. Such disgrace wasn't acceptable! Not for the Chen family name!! Stuck in a rut, she stormed to her room and grieve over her loss...That's when she was blessed by the Land of the Rising Sun itself when she found an anime DVD lying around on her floor. How did it get there? It must've been something that she bought once and never picked up again. Having nothing left to lose, she decided to spend the rest of her day watching the sad excuse for animation. But it was a sign...It was the beginning of a phase that she will soon regret. To make a long story short: She gets obsessed, starts doing research about Nippon, blows half of her allowance on merchandise, decide that it's perfectly reasonable to start using broken Japanese in the Internet and she gets an epiphany; [i]What if I become my own anime character?![/i] Which is [b]TOTALLY[/b] not an OC she created in her deviantART. And with her high IQ and the right materials, she decided to create her own set of gadgets and start fighting crime! She's like goddamn Hiro Yamada and Bruce Wayne fit into one bite-sized little girl! After a lot of time in the garage, it was finally high-time to start testing the bad-boys she's unleashed unto the world...The nights of Slant City better watch out...For the Kunoichi has made her way! Other: Have I mentioned she's a full blown Weaboo? She's also a Yaoi fangirl.
