Name:
Gamora | "Gamera" | "Tota"

Appearance:
While Gamora's stature is not as impressive compared to other kaiju beastkin, standing at only 5'4", her attire clearly shows that she's ready to save anyone who needs her help. She has emerald-green eyes, with aquamarine hair, two sharp lower teeth, and sports fair caucasian skin. Her costume is heavily based on notable heroes and legends that she has seen and heard about over the years, using a mixture of dark blues and greens, with some added reds to make it pop slightly. Her under-armour is comprised of only a light black fishnet suit, while her armor is comprised of strong wool and leather. Her suit's plastron is also out-fitted with special wood that allows her to tank a surprising amount of hits to her stomach, however it's not as strong as the shell on her back. The red comma-shaped Magatamas that are seen on her arms and as a necklace around her neck are seen as a symbol of Gamora herself.

Race:
Kaiju Turtle Beastkin

Magic/Abilities:

• Enhanced Physique: Like most other kaiju beastkin, Gamora has enhanced strength and agility that allows her to move slightly faster and lift heavier objects that most others would have trouble or be even impossible for them to accomplish. The shell on her back is also highly durable, being able to tank most blows with ease, although it's not invulnerable. While she's not the strongest nor the fastest of her kind, she can still put these abilities into great use.
• Heat Resistance: Being someone who fires plasma balls from her mouth, Gamora has attuned a natural resistance to heat. This is mostly due to a natural "Plasma Furnace" organ within her body, which absorbs heat, flame, oil, and other flammable objects and allows her to throw this energy back as fireballs, breath, etc. In fact, if she's surrounded by fire, she can absorb it to replenish her energy supply and issue more powerful attacks.
• Claw Sleeves: Gamora can insert her arms into two sleeves that make up her costume, which are tipped with five sharp claws. This allows her to enhance her strength significantly and are used to slash through enemies and even break through stone walls.
• Shell Shield: Gamora's shell can detach from her back and be used as a shield. In addition, she can also chuck it at her enemies like a boomerang, which comes back to her after exceeding a certain distance based on how strong the initial throw was. The jet boosters on her shell can also make it spin and go much farther if needed.
• Flight: Gamora's shell has specialized exhaust ports at the bottom portion that essentially fire "rocket bursts" of energy, allowing her to fly for great distances at a time.
• Plasma Fist: Gamora can channel her plasma energy into one or both of her fists, allowing her to do more damage against her foe.
• Plasma Fireball: Gamora can fire a high-pressured fire ball at her opponents with great speed.
• Plasma Fire Breath: Gamora can discharge a breath of hot fire at her opponents. Seen as a more powerful version of her fireball.
• Plasma Ubercharge: Her ultimate ability, if Gamora is able to conjure up an absurd amount of fire and plasma beyond her limits, she can expel this energy outwards by opening her Plastron (the covering on her stomach). This ability taxes on her severely and will kick her out of the fight once used.
• Fireball Ejection Suicide (FES): The forbidden move, Gamora hopes never to utilize this ability, unless the threat happens to threaten the entire world. This overloads her internal furnace until she ultimately explodes, killing anyone within a mile radius including herself. Every Gameran can issue this move, for as long as they have the strongest will to sacrifice their life for the greater good.

Personality:
If there's one thing that Gamora likes to think of herself as, is that she's a superhero. And by all accounts she definitely has all the traits of one. She is energetic as she is kind, always throwing herself to aid in someone's problems whenever possible. It doesn't matter what it happens to be - heavy-lifting, mopping floors, babysitting, beating up bad guys - anything is suitable enough for her. However, if there's one populous that she has a soft-spot for, she loves to be around children. Gamora always liked hanging around the rambunctious youth, and often seen playing with them and/or helping them with their issues. She's become somewhat of a role-model to them. In fact, she likes them so much, that she'd stop anything she's doing just to help the kid out, no matter how trivial or absurd their grievances may be, thus being given the nickname as the "Friend of All Children". Even she herself has a childish self that hadn't all gone away, giving her such energy and confidence in her abilities and such a connection to these kids, while perhaps being naive and clumsy in certain circumstances.

Of course, she is not completely detached from the world, not since after the destruction of her home. The wounds that forever scars her soul are a reminder of how far she has endured and how much she will continue to push on no matter the odds. So when evil comes stomping afoot, Gamora will do anything to defeat the vile villains and bring peace to the system.

She tends to self-narrate to herself while helping others, almost as if she's in a theater play.

Background:
Born in the seaside village of Atlantia below the Cliffs of Celica, Gamora was part of the tribe known as "The Gamerans". They were a peaceful tribe of turtle kaiju and had existed for thousands of years. They were in a constant rivalry with another kaiju tribe, known simply as the "Gyaos", a malevolent tribe who caused nothing but chaos in their rapidly growing ranks. Once every year, they would attempt to attack the Gameran village so that they can invade Razelia and the neighboring countries. However, their plan never came into succession and were always beaten by the meddling turtles. Their true origins are unknown, although the few outsiders who had been to their village suspected that they originated somewhere beneath the sea. Whether they were once purely aquatic turtles having adapted to land or had an advanced civilization deep on the ocean floor is still a highly heated debate, one that the Gamerans are not willing to let out.

Gamora lived a relatively normal life within their isolated town, however she was constantly curious about her surroundings. She was always looking at different rocks, making friends to other animals, and sometimes tried to sneak out on her quest for adventure. However, her parents didn't want her to go too far from the village, as they wanted to stay out of the affairs of the rest of the world. Plus, they needed all the manpower they could in order to protect their village from the Gyaos, for if they destroy their town and wipe out the Gameran population, they could potentially overrun the entire world. So for several long years, young Gamora was forced to stay in her village and had to make do with all that she had. In the meantime, she was also rigorously trained to become one of the Guardians of Atlantia and was given a suit of armor that would've prepared her for the invading monsters.

Yet when the Gyaos attacked the village once again, things were different. They came in the entire force of nearly several thousand of these bat-like dragon creatures as a last ditch effort to invade the mainland. The Gamerans fought hard but even they began to quickly loose several members left and right. Gamora tried her best to stave off the ravenous creatures, but even she began to feel overwhelmed. Yet as all hope seemed lost, the village elder attempted to sacrifice himself by overloading his inner furnace, the source of the Gamerans' power, and in a blinding flash destroyed both him and the remaining invaders in the area. In the end, only Gamora survived and it was only then when she finally was able to head into the new world of Razelia.

For the next month and a half, Gamora had to accept the facts that just transpired and come to the absolute conclusion that she was the last Gameran on the face of the world. It was an utterly traumatizing experience and one she can't completely recover from. So for that short period of time, she wondered from town to town wondering what to do now. Her eureka moment would come after she found herself helping a little girl get her cat down from a tree. Yet what was just a random act of kindness turned into something more. She then found herself helping more kids around other villages and even began to have small friendships with some of them. She later began helping the adults with their labors and was even able to stop a robbery and murder-attempts once in awhile, but she always had number one priorities in helping the children. This is where Gamora found a new purpose in life.

She's going to become a superhero... and one that the kids can look up to.

However, while she was content with the life she would commit to and the small daily deeds that she takes part of, never did Gamora forget what her parents wanted her to become. However, this thought never came to full realization until she discovered the Seraph Academy in Zauberheim, the capital of Razelia. If she's going to protect the kids, she might as well go beyond and protect where they lived from the major threats beyond. They should never have endure the same fate as her tribe. A new chapter has opened for the young beastkin and it's going to solidify the heroic persona she chose to adopt. But is she truly ready for the trials that await her?
