Cathy keep her naturally flowing hair a little past shoulder length and can mostly be seen wearing proper, clean and tight clothing. She always was good looking; smooth skin, silky hair, near perfect silhouette and all. However, one chat with her never failed to turn away potential pretenders. Sometimes, her cold stare alone sufficed. Those who know her and, for a reason or another, remains around will know her to be straight forward and to the point. A beautiful lady with a short fuse, Cathy nevertheless remain a loyal friend and loyal to her own morals and ideals.

Cathy speaks only when she has something to say, and she will never shy away from saying whatever she thinks if she feels like it needs to be said - even if, more than once, others might think that the said thing could have been kept to one self. She will respect those who can support her insupportable personality and see them as strong willed and worthy of her company and almost straight out dismiss anyone who thinks she's 'too harsh'.

Despite all of this, Cathy is a loyal friend and fiercely defend those she respects. If a person earned her trust and respect, she'll respect him or her even if their ideals differs from hers - but even those people would be foolish to try to make her change her view on something once her mind is settled on the subject.

》 𝖧𝖨𝖲𝖳𝖮𝖱𝖸

---

Cathy grew up somewhere in France - the location unimportant. The oldest of three siblings, she was always perceived by them as constantly looking down on them and thinking too highly of her own person. Fiercely smart and being good looking didn't help her on fixing this 'problem'.

The only real obstacle for her was her extremely short fuse. Growing up, Cathy would crack down on her siblings, friends or anyone who disagreed with her or did anything that might anger a teenage girl - which was quite a few things. Things never got physical, but in her anger she could insult loved ones and get rid of friends, lovers and family without ever looking back.

Growing up, she learned to control these burst of anger and essentially became two faced. From the outside, at her natural, she looked cold and composed and for the most part she was. Anyone that displeased her would quickly be rewarded with her dry and sharp comments - anyone digging deeper would regret it tenfold.

So it was no surprise that, on the day she heard the Whispers and was transported into the strange Other World, her powers manifested in the form of a fiery inferno. Anger rose in her to levels which were inhumane, and fueled her magic. The fight that ensued with the Elegy that ambushed her was fierce and savage, but Cathy emerged victorious.

CROWN OF WRATH

.

The way to victory is forward, and the enemy has to be beaten into quick submission. No reason to beat around the bush. Nothing else could really be expected from the Crown of Wrath, which enhance physical Strength to monstrous levels and allow for devastating attacks...at the cost of very little reserves to sustain it's own might.

As it's main weapon, the wearer of the Crown sees herself gifted a Great Sword which she can wield with her upgraded strength. The Sword's blade is always heated, as if it was being tempered.

• HEAT OF BATTLE: Buff/Debuff - Intense heat rises around the caster as if the bearer of the Crown was the heart of a volcano itself. The heat weakens enemy stamina. It also buffs the wielder's physical defense by magically reinforcing the amount of physical punishment that can be sustained, as well as their nearby allies. Once activated, it lasts
• FOCUSED HATRED: High-Energy and Focused - The blade glows a bright red and is empowered beyond reckoning; on it's next strike, it will most likely melt armour and annihilate anything that stands before it's wielder - at the cost of completely exhausting the Crown's magic reserves. An attack that can be used only once, and only if not much magic was previously used, too. Melee Range.
• FEED THE FIRE: AoE Buff - The Crowned takes it upon herself to calm herself and control her Wrath and refocus it. In this state, the Crowned shares her magic with her nearby allies, upping their Dexterity for a short duration. In this state, the Crowned is also vulnerable and any damage taken will incur a heavier punishment.

The Crown of Wrath sees fit the changes the wearers hair colours to a pure white, as well as taking the form of a long, white scarf around their neck. It clothes it's wearer in skin tight armour that may not seem by much, but physical blows will be met by a bright red aura, the Crown's real magical armour. Everything about the look is meant to remind aggression and anger - a foece that goes outward, never inward. It finds defense in offense, self preservation is left to others.

Casual comfort is the game for Astrid's wardrobe. Jeans, t-shirts, jumpers and jackets make up nigh the entirety of her main wear. In general, it barely changes, save for the addition of a slightly larger jumper when it comes to the winter seasons. With only slightly longer hair than shoulder length, she typically leaves it down and untied, unless engaging in cooking or similar, when it easily falls into the activity.

While not the most experienced Crown, Astrid has a decent amount of time and notches on her belt. Combat has tested her mettle, and while her mentor was at one time possessive and defensive, they ran Astrid through the ropes. This training led to her nigh limitless confidence, near suicidally so, if only her wisdom could match it. Astrid doesn't fear Elegies, nor the combat that comes with being Crowned, thanks to the sheer faith placed in both her skills and herself. The faith is not misplaced, as the girl is remarkably strong, however confidence itself grows into complacency. It doesn't help that world wise is not a descriptor that could be used for Astrid - she's naive, and though a powerhouse in her own right, easily manipulated by those smarter than herself.

At one time, Astrid was a meek and shy girl. Her training, and subsequent Crowning, brought about the much more confident persona that she portrays through day to day life, though she has still yet to completely grow out of that anxious little girl. With power at her back, Astrid understands that she can handle anything that comes her way. And yet, when in human form, she fears to be without it. Her Crown is her psychological shield against this fear, that one day her abilities will fail her. This fear is kept repressed as best as possible, but manifests in an anxiety that renders Astrid into her Crowned form for the majority of her time around the city.

A child of Bloomfield Bay, and one of two daughters under the parentage of Elisabeth and Michael Rivers. Separated by six years, Kyra Rivers adopted the mantle of doting older sister to her younger counterpart, and over the courses of their time together, built a stable bond that could stand the test of time. Astrid longed for Kyra to return from school in the beginning, and later the chances to play when the day came to close. And regardless of the strain adolescence put on Kyra's end of the relationship, they always returned to each other in the end.

At Astrid's own rise to being a teenager, though, the relationship appeared to end. Kyra spent less time around the house, even less with her sister, and instead spent it out around the city. Though Astrid attempted to reconcile the issue, she was always met with the same, indecisive responses and uncertain replies from her sister, while days would pass without Kyra returning to the household. Until one day Kyra came home, brutally injured and unable to remain conscious. Doctors and their parents chalked the issue up to an assault while passing through the "wrong end of the city", though Astrid pressed for the truth more fervently in response. And finally did the girl give up her secrets, that her life had turned to destroying monstrous beings as the Crown of Sunrise.

Astrid was unwilling to allow her sister to endanger herself any further. When confronted with the idea that Kyra had no choice, she pushed to be taken on as Kyra's protege, so that never again might she be so gravely wounded. Though equally as unwilling to put her only sister through the same danger as she experienced, Astrid's unrelenting pursuit left Kyra with little other choice. Astrid was taken on, and when Kyra wasn't battling Elegies, she was training her sister the very skill that she herself employed, until the day came that Astrid would be Crowned herself, and could join in on the fight.

But the day never came. And then, neither did Kyra - vanished and presumed dead. Astrid was left at sixteen, a forged yet untempered blade. It wasn't for another two years and the same length of grief and family counselling before Astrid heard The Whisper that Kyra had talked about. It was two years too late, she thought, but answered the summons anyway. The training her sister had ingrained combined with the newfound power she developed as the Crown of Damocles made short work of the Elegy that lay in wait at the end of song, and Astrid left, intent on carrying on Kyra's work for until her own life ended.

CROWN OF DAMOCLES

★★★★☆	☆☆☆☆☆	★★★★★	★☆☆☆☆	★★★★★

Stylised, apparently, after the story of the Sword of Damocles, which became a popular idiom regarding the looming threat of great power. Though the name of her Crown is only a single sword, she wields two into combat - one radiant, and one shadow. In pursuit of sheer strength, the Crown of Damocles disregards all notions of defence and assistance to allies. It is a single minded machine of war, and its vast single target destructive capabilities show as such.

• SUNDER: High Energy, AoE - Magical Energy is dumped into the blades, greatly improving both the stopping power of the swords, and the length of the arc at which they cut. Swings with this enhancement carve through metal and stone with ease, and improves the range at which the Crown of Damocles can attack from melee range up to about ten feet in front.
• PARAGON: High Energy - A Personal Enhancement skill, focusing Magical Energy into her own body, drastically improving agility and movement speed for the period of its duration like a lightning overcharge. Though the ability for short durations is itself low in energy usage, prolonged activation, for instance to traverse somewhat large distances, drains energy at a rapid rate.
• SWORDFALL: ??? - Though simply referred to as "Swordfall" the skill bears the full name of "The Forms of Damocles Fall", and are a series of combat techniques specifically ingrained into the act of wielding the swords of the Crown. They are seven in total, ranging from single target strikes, to Area of Effect slashes designed to kill multiple close range opponents, to a defensive stance designed to counter incoming attacks. The forms are tailored to satisfy each others criteria, and as such the ending of one form can easily be transitioned into the beginning of another, allowing for rapid, multi-hit combos. Each form also has a two variant systems, one of which takes into consideration the increased range from <<SUNDER>>, while the other the possibility of using only a single sword. The core skills the Crown of Damocles uses are listed below, with more to be added as they are used in combat.
  
  • FIRST FORM - SWORDFALL: A powerful attack, using momentum and gravity to deliver a devastating downward strike on an opponent. The core of the technique involves breaking the enemies guard with a series of deft blows, pivoting off of one sword to rise into the air above them, and then striking down onto their heads with the second.
  • SECOND FORM - ???:
  • THIRD FORM - RESPLENDENCE: One of the few moves designed to instantly end a fight, usually applied when <<<RUIN OF DAMOCLES>> is an unreliable expectation. It begins with a thrust to the head or chest, followed by a series of incredibly quick attacks to the opponents guard. It finishes with a feint strike transitioned into a heavy, horizontal swing to break defence, followed by an instantaneous thrust into the abdomen.
  • FOURTH FORM - AEGIS: The Swordfall's only defensive countermeasure, and the only type of shield the Crown of Damocles wields. It is a form focused implicitly on counters and parries, usually combined with <<PARAGON>> to respond quickly. The stance is best paired with the Second Form by forcing the opponents retreat when unable to break the Aegis, allowing quick transition into the brutal strikes the Second Form offers.
  • FIFTH FORM - ???:
  • SIXTH FORM - ???:
  • SEVENTH FORM - ???:
• RUIN OF DAMOCLES: ??? - A powerful energy absorption skill, which acts passively over the course of a battle. The essence of the Sword of Damocles, the longer the battle prolongs without an opponent or herself dying, the greater the power behind her blows and abilities. An accumulation of danger which ceases only at the loss of life, until eventually, the opponent will have no strength left to spare, and the sword will fall, ending the battle deftly and instantaneously. The skill takes about six minutes to charge, but only acts on a single opponent engaged at any one time; the accumulation gradually increases the Crown of Damocles' powers until they overflow beyond that which the enemy can handle, but once that specific target is defeated, the skill resets.

The Crown of Damocles, or more specifically, Astrid's Crown of Damocles, takes the form of a grey baseball cap, with a small, orange pattern across the peak. Her whole outfit changes along with it, shifting into a form fitting brown shorts and a blue jumper, the latter of which is striped with orange and bears a small cross shaped emblem over the left breast, whilst her hair changes from brown in colour, to a vibrant blonde. Astrid also generates a scarf in this form, which wraps around her neck and flows down her back, occasionally getting in the way of her swords during combat.
