Appearance:
Name: Hideyo (Hide) Hiramoto
Age: 17
Year: Third
Alias: The Iron Maiden
Height: 5'7
Weight: 118
Element: Metal
Personality:
A pretty standoffish person, Hide is not someone you would typically jump at the chance to introduce yourself to. Those who do actually take the iniative to talk to her often leave dissatisfied or offended, as she seems to have no concept of what is inappropriate and is horribly sociably inept. It's not that she actively tries to be rude, but what she says tends to sound much better in her head than out loud. I wish I could say that those who put up with this exchange earn themselves a secretly loyal and caring friend, but she isn't exactly that either. She is terribly apathetic, though that's not to say someone couldn't make her care. Beneath all that pessimism and cynicism there is truly loving if romantically hapless spirit. All she needs is someone to coax it out. She seems to have no respect for authority, only doing what she needs to do to remain unbothered. She never bothers to take notes in class or do her homework, but she always aces her test, as she unconsciously absorbs information like a sponge. Still, this won't keep her from "forgetting" your name, though it's carved into her brain somewhere, she doesn't care to remember it. She doesn't really seem to be passionate about anything other than practicing her magical girl abilities, but she has a lesser known interest in music and literature.
Bio:
On the outside, it seemed like Hide had a wonderful childhood, always going on exotic trips with her parents and living in a giant house, with a whole floor all to herself. But on the inside, it was a lonely and overstimulated life, with her parents more interested in each other or their travels than her. Her mother, an archaeologist, and her father, a botanist and zoologist, were always trying to get their daughter interested in their fields, and any time they spent with her was spent trying to teach her about their studies, rather than giving affection or actually parenting. They would drag her along on their expeditions in the hopes of teaching her a thing or two with hands on experience, but these thoughts were quickly lost the moment they arrived at their location, and she was but an afterthought. Instead of toys, her room had been filled with fossil casts, exotic pets and plant specimens. Any childhood she could have had was replaced with what she considered boring science lectures and factoids. As a result, she grew to despise her parents, and reacted to any attempt to teach her about fossils or plants with disinterest, until they eventually stopped trying to interact all together. After that she had lived her life in relative peace, only leaving her floor to go to school, practicing with her abilities and reading in her free time. Though she had been developing her powers since age 12, her parents hadn't noticed until this year, where they promptly sent her to this school, glad to finally get her out of their hair.
Extracurricular Activities: Literature Club
Magical Girl Abilities:
Minor:
Shield
A relatively unbreakable metal shield forms on Hide's arms, which can be used to block attacks.
Disarm
Any metal armor or weapons an opponent has will melt away or fly to Hide.
Wire Whip
Metal strands are summoned and whip the opponent. Painful, but not too damaging, only causing shallow cuts.
Vibration Location
Able to find people using vibrations sent through metal. Useful since most buildings have metal structures.
Medium:
Iron Fist
Hide's fists are covered completely in iron, making them 2x bigger and her punches much more effective. The iron will break away after around 10 punches.
Tornado/Deconstruct
Any metal within a mile radius, included built into a building or on the opponent draws to a ball in front of Hide, which she can use to create a tornado of heavy or sharp objects to throw at an opponent. This can also be used to make a building unstable, potentially falling on an opponent.
Bullet
Slowly developing into a major ability, bullet allows her to summon metal bullets, which can be shot at an opponent. Currently too dull and slow to do much other than get shallowly embedded in the skin.
Major:
Iron Maiden
The ability behind her namesake, this summons four iron, spiked walls around an opponent, which quickly closes on the victim, often killing them. This attack is extremely difficult to perform, and greatly weakens Hide.
Metal Meld
The opponent is covered in metal, which begins to meld to itself, crushing the area that is covered. While highly fatal when metal is summoned onto the head or chest, it is more commonly summoned onto the legs or arms to incapacitate the opponent, as it is extremely painful and crushes even the bone.
