Name: Asuka Metta
Age: 17
Gender: Cis
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Appearance: She is of medium height, a tomboyish figure, has striking, blonde hair and very pretty - but if you cross the child of Idou and Chizuru Metta, you will likely end up just as hurt, and that's without using either of her inherited powers. The girl works out. While not in Hero form, she usually wears a standard schoolgirl uniform, but with a coat worn like a cape over it along with a surgical mask a to give the impression of her being a delinquent. Whether the coat used to belong to her father is up for debate.
Hero Form: Asuka remains mostly the same in appearance while in Hero form, with only a few cursory differences, mainly her eyes changing colour to a bright yellow and a number of tiny dandelion flowers on the sides of her hair. However, her attire, regardless of what it is, changes to the same thing; two long, spiralling cloths, one white and the other light green, covering the entirety of her torso and thigh, ending in flowing tails. Her weapon in this form is a long, two-handed whipsword, with the metallic bits marked with dandelions. Upon her right cheek, five stylized dandelion flowers are embossed. When all the flowers are lit up, she can enter Mankai mode.
Mankai: Much the same as her Hero form, with some essential differences: her whipsword's blade multiplies into three more, with the marked dandelions glowing with power. A giant metallic ring constructed of alternating green and yellow plates floats in the air behind her, with five smaller crystals floating around it, resembling the tiny flowers of a dandelion.
Personality: Under a paper-thin veneer of apparent misbehavior, Asuka is in reality a well-meaning, kind, and friendly girl, willing to do whatever it takes to protect her loved ones, with a personality that could probably net her quite a few.

Perks: Hero of the Shinju: Asuka was chosen by the Shinju, the gods who protect her mother's world, as a Hero, protectress of the world armed with magic to fight the hordes of the Vertex. This perk grants access to the unique Action ‘Mankai', which does not take up an Action slot, and allows Asuka to take an extra Fairy instead of levelling up her Actions or taking a new Action every five levels. Asuka is limited to six Fairies.
I Won't Let You Hurt My Friends!: Not now, not ever! Every turn Asuka succesfully places a debuff or buff on a target, the timer for all her other existing buffs and debuffs doesn't tick down.
Golden Resolve: Her will is unbreakable. Asuka is immune to stuns, going lower on the initiative ladder, and takes 50% less damage from burns.
Heritage for the Future: To Asuka, "Family bonding time" means "Eldritch monstrosity beating-up time". If Asuka is in a battle with either Idou or Chizuru, all of her stats are multiplied by 1.5. If she's with both, this effect extends to Idou and Chizuru.
