Name: Summer Sol Invictus
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Species: Human
Breed: Elven Lineage
Height: 6'2
Ruling God: Fenris
Element(s): War, Earth, Arcane
Appearance: Summer had always struck a tall and fairly imposing silhouette, full figured with long legs, she makes best use of her height for her swordplay, granting her greater reach than is to be expected. For the majority of the time, most of her body is hidden under her formal garb and with her firm embracing of tradition and formality, seeing her with any less is very, very rare.
She possesses pale skin that tans easily thanks to her elven lineage on her mother's side and startlingly bright pink hair that she has allowed to grow long. Her hair is rarely left loose, usually pulled up into a tight top-knot or into an intricate braid and wrapped into a bun to prevent it from being used against her. When fully down, her hair reaches down to her thighs due to her refusal to cut it until she has been defeated in combat.
Further details of note is a single bright blue eye as the other is hidden behind a tilted black blindfold that is marked with a golden cherry blossom over her eye. Her lips are usually glossed or painted deep pink or red though she doesn't wear any other makeup, though she does keep her nails painted pink to match her hair.
It is rare to ever find Summer not in her formal Shinkoku garb, a wide pair of dark blue split trousers tied tightly around the waist and worn over a well made if simple white kimono edged in gold with the symbol of the Shinkoku School in gold on the back of it. Over this she wears a dark blue sleeveless jacket with large, exaggerated shoulders. A pair of white tabi and raised sandals add another inch or so to her height.
Personality: Despite her rather stern and formal looking appearance, Summer is an incredibly warm and friendly person befitting her name. She enjoys making new friends and spending time learning about them and figuring out the things that they enjoy. Once someone is considered a friend by Summer she stands by them almost religiously, guarding them against threats as best she can and buying them gifts whenever her money allows for it.
There is of course an exception to every rule and the exception to Summer is if someone declares themselves a rival or combat partner for Summer. Though her friendship grows no colder for it, she is competitive and takes great pleasure in mighty battles and clashing swords with others, especially if they are practitioners of other styles. Though as part of this, she refuses to become too friendly with any other member of the Shinkoku School of War, that rivalry runs too deep and too hot for her to consider other members as friends and not as ambitious hunters or targets to be taken down.
As part of her formal training and birth into the school, Summer is a prim and proper sort, speaking without slang or contractions and observes many formal ceremonies of which she seems to derive great joy from, her favourite being tea. She is often eager to meet others who are excited in the same and readily shares her teas and tobaccos with others. As part of this she is a highly respectful individual and never stoops low enough to insult a person unless they have done something truly horrific or they prove themselves to be a coward or dishonourable.
Biography: Summer's birth was not a kind or gentle affair. Her parents fought often and in a far more literal sense than most, considering both were members of the Shinkoku School of War. They inducted Summer into the school the moment she was old enough to walk and hold a blade and taught her everything that both of them knew, doing their best to curry her favour in order to have her turn against the other.
Despite this, Summer found herself quickly making friends amongst the school and the other families that lived in the same compound as she did. A natural charisma shone through and with the aid of those friends, she learned how to be kind and gentle instead of spiteful and bitter as her parents were attempting to teach her.
She still took in their lessons however, every piece of knowledge was an edge that she had against them and others that would attempt to ruin her life. So it was at the age of fourteen, she fought both of her parents one after the other and drove them to surrender. She didn't kill them, such a dark idea felt like acid in her heart and it stayed her blade. However, it did result in her parents being cast out due to their cowardice shown as they begged for their lives.
With the precedent set, Summer knew that in order to change this violent world she needed power and she needed recognition. Luckily she had been born into the perfect School to gain such things.
By age twenty she had managed to become a Ranker, pushing herself to being Rank 36, her natural affinity for War Magic assisting her greatly. However she needed to go even further, face ever greater foes and make ever better friends... She would find her strength not just in her blade but in the bonds she had made.

Over this she wears a dark blue sleeveless jacket with large, exaggerated shoulders. A pair of white tabi and raised sandals add another inch or so to her height.
Additionally she is never seen without her twinned swords at her left hip, a longer blade and a shorter side weapon, both of them adorned with hilt wrappings in bubblegum pink and cherry blossom shaped silver guards as well as black scabbards decorated with leaves.

Honour is an important part of Summer's life and it's the easiest way to upset her is to either prove one's self dishonourable or a cheat or attempt to say that she is the same, such things rapidly driving her to a cold, violent anger.

By her cursed eye and bewitched blade, she would make this world a kinder place to live.
