Name: Tanaka Aya
Age: 31
Regular Appearance: Standing around 5'6, Aya has a fit and athletic build which is due to years of training in her grandfather's dojo. Aya is actually a mixed heritage with her father being Japanese and her mother hailing from China. She takes more after her father in appearance, but her eyes closely resemble her mother's wise upturned gaze. Aya prefers to wear her hair down, but ties it back into a ponytail when she's teaching class or working out. Her typical in-school attire consists of an Ayame High t-shirt, track pants, and running shoes. Outside of class she prefers to dress more effeminately; opting for skirts or dresses in a range of colors. Despite her lithe appearance, she actually harbors an unusual amount of strength for her size.
Subject: P.E. Teacher
Personality: Aya has a cheerful motherly persona that enables her to make quick friends with almost any of the students. She views her students as if they were her own kids and encourages them to come to her if they're having difficulties. During classes, Aya becomes the biggest cheerleader for her students and drives them to push their limits and become stronger, much like she was taught when she was their age. However... this loving personality will shatter in an instant if Aya thinks any of her students are hurt or in trouble. Gone will be the supportive P.E. teacher and she turns into a being other teachers can only describe as the "she-devil". Using her training, Aya will hunt down the problem bothering her 'kids' and see that it's dealt with. One way or another.
In addition, Aya is also something of a hopeless romantic. She has long since wanted to settle down and have a family of her own, but her unusual strength and intense personality will get in her way more often than not. When not at school, Aya can often be found getting drunk at a local bar in Tokyo, or at home reading trashy romance novels.
Bio: Born into a mixed household, Aya's father was a well-known doctor who met her mother while on a trip to mainland China. Hailing from a long line of martial artists on her mother's side, Aya and her younger brother spent many summers in their grandparents' home in China learning their family's karate style. The young girl quickly picked up the skills and was deemed a prodigy by her family. Despite leading her high school to the national championships in martial arts and being scouted for a top university, Aya's rapidly developed strength and frequent trips away from home began to make her a social outcast among her peers. Many students viewed her as a 'freak' and this left her with a strong desire to just fit in and be a normal girl.
Keeping these desires to herself, Aya continued her martial arts career through college, but you could tell her heart wasn't in it. A string of bad luck in her dating life didn't help things either. After losing a fight in nationals that would have been an easy victory, she was visited by her grandfather after the match. Irate that his own granddaughter could lose to a "rank amateur", he demanded an explanation. His anger turned to shock when Aya's frustrations boiled over and she shouted she'd lost her passion for the sport. Shortly after this blowout, Aya was challenged by her grandfather to a match. If she won, he'd give her his blessing to leave the dojo and pursue her own goals.
The two traded blows for nearly three hours before Aya's grandfather finally yielded. Sensing her resolve, the old man honored her wishes and Aya was free to choose her own path. Meanwhile, her brother became the inheritor of the family dojo. After finishing her studies, Aya decided she wanted to try her hand at being a teacher. She quicky earned her teaching license and got certified to be a physical education teacher.
Ever since getting a job as a P.E. teacher at Ayame high, Aya has found a new fulfillment in her life. Rather than striving for some unattainable goal of perfection, she can just be the passionate supporter for the kids. She still harbored many of her regrets about her own high school years and will flip out into her 'she-devil' mode if she senses any students are being ostracized or put in harms way by anybody be they students, faculty, or an outside group.
Other:-Aya's love of the romance genre has recently gotten her into gaming. She mainly plays visual novels or beat 'em ups.
-Despite saying she wants to settle down, Aya has begun to give up the possibility of finding love. She actively enjoys being the "cool aunt" to her brother's kids (and seeing her beat their dad up when they spar ;)
-Being one of the more sociable teachers at the school, Aya will often ask her co-workers if they wanna meet up for a drink outside of the job. However, news of her high tolerance has spread fast around the school and few can actually keep up with her.
Transformed Appearance: Aya's transformed appearance blends elements of her past and present into a beautiful visage. Her dress resembles a traditional Chinese cheongsam, but retains a loose elegant nature that embodies Aya's ideals of beauty and freedom. Her changes into a mix of Chinese and Japanese styles to exemplify finding her own path.
Weapon: In this form, Aya wields a pair of glowing white ethereal gauntlets she refers to as the "Fists of the Maiden". With them, her already impressive strength in doubled and she can lift and carry weights much heavier than her own. A test of the fists even showed they're strong enough to punch holes through solid metal!
When not transformed, the fists are disguised as a pair of fingerless gloves on Aya's person. When she needs to transform, Aya slams gloves together and she assumes her magical girl form!
Magic: Due to being a brawler, Aya's skills lie more on the physical side of combat. However, that doesn't mean she lacks any magical abilities.
Shotput Bomb: Focusing her "Fighting Spirit" into her palms, Aya creates a dense ball of energy and fires it like a shotput at her enemy. The bomb explodes on impact.
Full Throttle: When Aya gets REALLY angry, she throws everything into her punches and unleashes a barrage of energy blasts shaped like her fists.
Pump it Up!: By cheering on her teammates, Aya can spur their natural growth and increase their physical capabilities. Her allies become stronger, faster, and much more durable. Eventually, she can unlock her friends' hidden potential.
Teacher's Aid: When friends or students get injured Aya can use the Fists of the Maiden to heal wounds. In order to do so, she must have physical contact with her target and the Fists must remain connected until the wound is closed.[color=gold][/color]
Other: - In this transformed state, Aya's 'she-devil' persona comes out in full force. The idea that anything could hurt her kids is something that enrages her and she refuses to let them be harmed.
- The Fists of the Maiden actually cover Aya's hands like a glowing armor, but she can dispel them while in this state if she needs to interact with people or things around her.
- If Aya can control her more destructive tendencies, Lux has informed her this could be the gateway to uncovering greater power and discerning her 'purpose'.
