Partner: Soul Type and Appearance:A red soul with a fanged smile and a hood.
Appearance:
(summer style)
Taller than the average, standing at 1.71m, Arle has a slender frame, slim enough to look agile but wide enough to not look lanky. Her eyes have a colour close to bright copper and her, often messy, wavy brown hair goes down just past her shoulder. She has noticeably sharp teeth, with fangs.
For clothing, she says she doesn't care much but is noticeable she often picks clothing of a certain style, adapting it for cold and hot weather while keeping an identity and common theme and colour scheme. She likes loose flowing clothing and enjoys boots. She often wears bandanas and hats with fake wolf ears.
Her demeanour is typically confident, she rarely looks uncomfortable with herself unless she is stuck inside a room for too long. She has an intense stare, even when her facial expression is relaxed, though more often than not she looks a bit smug or annoyed.
Weapon Appearance and Description:
She takes the form of a double bladed glaive, with a variety of branching blades and handles to perform complex attack and defence patterns. Design-wise it has a black and copper colour scheme, the upper blade has a vague semblance to a wolf's head while the lower one has a straight simple shape that resembles a tail. The use of two blades sacrifices the finishing power of a single blade weapon but offers protection and the potential to keep up the pressure on opponents with sudden and constant slashes.
Personality:It is said Arle was raised by wolves, the veracity of that is questionable as she is known to tell tall stories, though from her behaviour you would suspect that might as well be the case.
Simply put, she does what she wants and has the social conventions at the bottom of her priorities, add that to a tendency to say what is in her mind plus a love for teasing and tricking others and you end up with a well-known trouble maker, albeit a cheerful, friendly one, who doesn't see the harm in her taunting and lack of a sense of personal space. In fact, once one crosses her, which is hard to do, all the playfulness stops and she starts to address such people with fewer, colder words. It takes a long time to regain her trust once you break it.
She is pretty active, often preferring the outdoors and the touchable/practical over the theoretical. While she has a natural practical 'cleverness' to her, not many would describe her as smart or knowledgeable and she certainly doesn't have grand views on society and the world, just wishing to not be bothered by either, she likes the simple things like eating, fighting and sleeping.
Teamwork is as struggle as she always wants to do things her way, but at the same time she cares a lot about all her comrades, especially her meister. A self-described “big sister type” she often blames herself if anything goes wrong and is always ready to take a hit so someone else is safe.
Backstory:
Her biological parents were a meister / weapon duo who died in a mission weeks after she was born, after that she was sent to a distant sister who saw the baby as nothing but a burden and promptly abandoned her in a forest. She was found by an aging couple who lived in the forest as hunters and was adopted by them. They had no children of their own for Arle to be raised with, though she would often interact and play with the many dogs they used in their job. They were doting parents who rarely censored their daughter, only making sure Arle would not stand for wrongdoings or be mean to others, they also were a bit antiquated, not having much technology in their home and a fashion sense that was almost a century behind.
They lived in peaceful isolation on a forest but knew it would not be healthy for Arle to be limited to that small world. Once she was old enough to walk through the woods without much danger, they would incentivize her to go interact with kids in the nearby village, though they would rather homeschool her than to send her to the local school. With her energy and weird behaviour Arle would be seen as a troublemaker by many parents, one loudly questioning if she had been raised by wolves, the girl liked that and would from then onward say that was indeed the case.
With her teenagerhood came the first signs she was a demon weapon, something that was unknown to the couple. As isolated as they were, even they knew about the DWMA, and also knew it would be the right place for their girl from then onward. With no reluctance they made the arrangements to have her enrolled, starting a new chapter in Arle’s life, far away from her adoptive parents and her homeland.
