[Basic Information]
Full Name: Shina Nihilo
Alias(es): Clone #79, Karen Delta, KD-0079 (Shina is only vaguely aware of the latter, due to the tattoo on her arm.)
Gender: Female
Age: 2 years old. (She looks like she’s 18, and is 18 as far as she knows.)
Birthday: January 1st
Sexuality: Shina has no real concept of sexuality and romance, though she is aware of a vague attraction to both genders. Because of this lack of understanding, she is, for all intents and purposes, asexual.

[Characteristics]
Height: 5’3” (160cm)
Weight: 120 lbs. (54kg)
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown

General Appearance: (429 words) Shina has a very tomboyish appearance, primarily because she is oblivious to established gender roles and expectations. She keeps her dark brown hair short, reaching down to where her head connects to her neck. Her hair has a right-sided part, and no matter what she does with it, there is always one strand sticking up in a sort of cowlick. Her facial features are soft and youthful, though they’re often spoiled by a bandage across her nose or on one of her cheeks. She has a small, button-like nose, thin lips, and a rounded jaw line. Her eyes are large and very expressive, though she hardly ever utilizes them for emoting. Shina is fair-skinned, and has a bit more meat on her bones than the average girl, though she isn’t in peak physical condition, by any means. Her bust size is small, and she has a moderate waistline and subdued hips. These features allow her to pass off as a man easily, if she so desires. In terms of identifying marks, the only one of note is the tattoo on the inside of her left forearm. It simply reads “KD-0079” in bold, black letters. Another, unintentional identifier is the pronounced limp in her left leg when she walks.

When it comes to clothing, she tends to favor bulky clothes that leave people questioning her gender when worn. To be exact, she prefers biker clothing. For her top, she wears a bulky leather jacket that is covered with protective padding and armor plates. The jacket also sports a great deal of studs, especially on the shoulder pads. Both shoulders have a white skull painted on them. Under the jacket, Shina wears a tank top with a forest camouflage design. For trousers, she wears black leather pants, which also have protective pads all over them, including bright red kneecap protectors and a steel codpiece. She wears a black leather belt with a gold buckle to hold her pants up, and a large chain rests on her left hip. Her boots continue the black leather trend, and are, of course, armored. Steel plates cover the entire front of the boots, as well as her toes. These boots are secured by buckles. Shina sports a face-concealing motorcycle helmet whenever she truly feels like hiding her identity. It is matte black in finish, with a solid black visor. Painted on the front is a large white skull with one eye. On her hands, Shina always wears her gloves. They are black leather, and cover her entire hand. The knuckles are adorned with steel studs, and the fingers and the back of the hands are covered by bright red padding.

Personality: (522 words) To many people, Shina comes off as… well, odd, for lack of a better term. She is quiet and reserved, hardly ever speaking, even when spoken to. She usually responds to people with body language, such as nods, waving her hand a certain way, that sort of thing. When she does speak, she does so in a near-monotonous whisper. Because of this, many people that have interacted with her will claim that she is “emotionally withdrawn”, or just outright “emotionless”. And, to be fair, she does come off as such most of the time.

The truth of the matter is, Shina is actually very naïve, and she doesn’t understand the world around her at the level most people her supposed age do. Since she lacks her memories, she knows very little of her world, and wishes to learn about it as much as she can, both for the sake of it and in an attempt at self-discovery. When faced with something new to her (read: pretty much anything), she approaches it with a child-like curiosity, wide-eyed and yet cautious. She will touch it, tinker with it, and ask questions until she determines what purpose the object of her curiosity serves. And yes, she has gone through this process with other human beings. It’s as awkward as it sounds. Shina is also extremely philosophical, despite her average level intelligence, often contemplating things like the meaning of life, and her sense of self. The latter is especially important to her, as even she isn’t entirely sure who she truly is.

When it comes to her past and her missing memories, Shina is surprisingly apathetic. To quote the girl directly, “Digging up the past means nothing to me. I am free to start anew, forge my own identity and destiny. If only other people were so lucky.” In other words, Shina sees no point in trying to recover her memories and old identity, when she can simply create a new one for herself. She feels that the past is a prison which she has escaped, and she’s not going to willingly shackle herself to it again. However, some small part of her is curious as to what her tattoo means.

In terms of relationships and interacting with others, Shina often finds herself out of her element. She has no concept of proper etiquette or manners, and often doesn’t know what to say in a particular situation. Or worse, she knows what to say, but it’s so blunt and tactless that it shouldn’t be said. This creates many awkward moments, and has gotten her into trouble more than once. However, there are many moments when she is able to articulate her thoughts extremely well, especially when discussing a favorite subject or hobby. Shina is also completely oblivious to the concept of love. She doesn’t understand dating, or marriage, and any advances made towards her tend to go right over her head. Again, potential for awkwardness abounds.

So really, the best way to sum Shina up is that she is very much like a child who has left her home and doesn’t know anything about the real world.

Likes:
-Learning/experiencing new things: Unlike basically everyone else on the face of the planet, Shina takes great joy in learning things about the world around her. She feels that knowledge of that which surrounds her will help her learn more about herself, as well as help her develop her own sense of identity.

-Discussing philosophy: Philosophy is a subject that holds great interest to Shina, and philosophical discourse is one of her favorite pastimes. It is, in her mind, a great way to really get to know people, as she learns things that she wouldn’t through ordinary conversation and observation. And it’s always interesting to compare and contrast ideas.

-Working with machines: Shina loves to tinker with all things mechanical. Disassembling something and analyzing the working parts has a calming effect on her, and she has an affinity for understanding how each individual piece comes together to form a complex, fully-functioning whole.

-Music: Shina is fascinated by the practice of experimenting with different sounds to create something so pleasing to the ears. It’s so delightful and entertaining. And she never hears the same thing twice. It’s always something new, which amazes her.

-Martial arts: Shina appreciates the martial arts, not so much for the “martial” aspect as for the “arts” aspect. She enjoys the discipline, and the fluid movements serve to focus her mind, while at the same time keeping it free-flowing. And she is enthralled by the philosophical and spiritual aspects.

Dislikes:
-Shadow Heart: Shina doesn’t know why, but the mere mention of Shadow Heart makes her stomach churn. She doesn’t know what it is or who they are, but they’ve obviously done something particularly horrible to her in order to induce such a base reaction of repulsion.

-Violence: Sort of a paradox, considering Shina is a student of martial arts in general. But she has her reasons for disliking violence. She feels that fighting is a last resort, when simple discourse has failed to solve the problem. It is also simply a matter of her not enjoying the shedding of blood. However, if necessary, she will fight.

-Obnoxious loudmouths: For Shina, silence is truly golden. So when she has to deal with someone who is crass, annoying, or someone who simply doesn’t know when to shut up, she gets irritated. Extremely irritated. It is in situations like these where Shina will (rarely) raise her voice, or curse, or what have you.

-Large crowds: Shina doesn’t like being in large groups of people for two reasons: She finds being so close to other people discomforting, and she feels lost whenever she’s in a crowd. Simple as that.

-People who run away from who they are: As someone who has no real sense of identity or self, Shina envies everyone else for having that luxury. And nothing peeves her more than someone who realizes what they have and can’t appreciate it. Such is the case with those who try to run or hide from what they truly are. Shina thinks they should be glad that they know who they are deep down, and embrace it.

Motivations:
-Developing her own identity: Since her amnesia essentially left her as a “tabula rasa”, or blank slate, Shina has seized the chance to start over again and develop her own sense of self. It’s sort of an experiment, in its own odd way. But she truly does want be able to one day answer the question “Who am I?”

-Exploring the world: Due to her innate and insatiable curiosity, Shina is compelled to know as much as she can learn about the world around her. She is always on the move because of this, eager to see new places and things, and go through different experiences. She isn’t often one to say no to something, regardless of the risk.

Fears:
-Complete darkness: Shina isn’t afraid of the night, or of a dark room, as even then, there’s usually some form of light, even if it is just moonlight. No, Shina is afraid of complete, impenetrable darkness. If locked in a room where there is absolutely no light, the poor girl will curl up into the fetal position and cry.

-Thunder and lightning: Shina just cannot stand thunder and lightning. The quick flash of light, followed by the loud boom, simply scare her beyond all reason or logic. As such, during lightning storms, she tends to hide under something like a table or a bed in the false sense that it will protect her.

[Life]
Occupation: Migrant worker, essentially.
Family: Unknown (The original person Shina was cloned from had a mother and two brothers, both younger than her.)
Medical Conditions: The aforementioned limp, which she received prior to losing her memories. Shina is also prone to headaches of varying intensity due to a concussion, which is more than likely responsible for her amnesia.
Pets: Unknown (The original had a Golden Retriever named Shingo.)
Hometown: Shina first woke up in Hargeon, so she considers that her hometown. (Shina was originally cloned in Crocus.)
Secrets:
-Clone: Unbeknownst to all, herself included, Shina is actually a clone of a promising Fairy Tail wizard, Karen Muchiko. In fact, her tattoo is her serial number; “Karen Delta-0079.”

History (1539 words):

[Guild & Magic]

Guild: Guildless
Guild Tattoo: Left shoulder, black.

Magic: Flames of the Imitation Sun
Caster or Holder: Holder
Description: Shina has magic that is similar to her original’s magic. She can create flames from thin air and manipulate them as she pleases. However, due to a miscalculation in the cloning process on the parts of her creators, her powers are unstable. She has to wear special gloves implanted with certain lacrima (regular fire lacrima) in order to keep them under control, as well as manipulate them, though she can go at least two hours a day without wearing the gloves, and she doesn’t have to wear them when she sleeps. As with all forms of fire magic, Shina has a great deal of offensive capability at her disposal. She can deliver flaming punches, throw fiery projectiles at her opponents, or just employ the scorched earth method and burn everything in the area to a crisp with a large column of fire. However, her defensive techniques are limited to things like flaming auras and walls of flame.
Strengths: (76 words) In terms of how it interacts with other magicks of an elemental nature, Shina’s flames are able to melt ice quite handily. As stated before, her magic is best suited for offense, and is an extremely versatile tool to use for such purposes. Really, the only thing limiting what she’s able to do with her abilities is her imagination. And finally, Shina’s flames are suited for any range, from long range to close quarters combat.
Weaknesses: (133 words) When it comes down to a clash between elements, Shina’s fire abilities have two banes; wind and water. A strong enough gust can blow her flames out, and if enough water is poured on them, they’ll be smothered. And, due to its nature as Holder magic, it is reliant on her gloves. If they are destroyed or removed, she can’t use her abilities. This comes with an added danger for her. Without her gloves, Shina will begin to slowly lose control of her magic. For every ten posts that she goes without her gloves, her flames will flare up and burn her. If she goes five topics without getting the gloves replaced or retrieving them, she will burn to death. The only other weakness of note is the aforementioned lack of defensive capabilities.
