Short Description: A spunky, showoff of a white raccoon who is pretty small (2'11"), but has become a successful model. She would rather be trying on jewelry and buying clothes rather than all this silly adventuring, but she manages to get caught up in difficult situations quite often.

Personality: Streetwise, moxious, and vain; like her name suggests, she loves to show off and make people stare (which is probably why she doesn't get noticed much when she's trying to be subtle). She can be affectionate without being sugary, but can just as easily be selfish and childish.

Height: 2'11", roughly
Fur color: Primarily a creamy, off-white with black bands
Hair length: Just above shoulder-length
Eye color: Rose
Species: Raccoon
Build: Average

Some random crap:
She's got three piercings along the bottoms of her ears, and two on the tops, but doesn't always wear jewelry in every one.

She insists that all her raw food be washed for at least a minute in water. That's just the raccoon in her.

Her favourite colours are all rosy and peachy colours, aside from black. She likes to wear black and pink, because "black + pink = hot."

She has an affinity for sparkly things like diamonds and crystals and other lovely shiny things.

Diamond the Chao: She found an odd-looking, little abandoned Chao, and decided to keep him and spoil him and feed him candy. She treats him like her child -- and so, he's very spoiled. She likes to dress him up, and he tolerates it because he loves the attention.

More or less a placeholder for now, until I get more time to fill things in. For now, you get a nice, big list of characters that I've used in the past, and possibly will use in the future:

GUARDIAN
(The most advanced and complete saga I have. While there are a few holes, most have been filled. The saga continues to grow and build over time, as I pile on more canon. For all these characters, with the exception of Halo, this is the only true canon. Halo's exception is that most other sagas are fillers for his bio, as opposed to an additional arc for fun.)

-Falcroth
-Syrata
-Rishatu
-Ritaku
-Yinala
-Kamitaku
-Dracus
-Galdrus
-Galgor
-Fuerte
-Kinata
-Heito
-Kyro

-Ronas

DRAGONS SAGA
(Note that this saga is incomplete, so may have inexplicably missing material that doesn't seem to correspond to each other.)

-Halo (Heaven Star Dragon Form)
-Demnai
-Gengiro
-Mishumiro
-Rochuck
-Cannok
-Hiryuu

LEGACY SAGA
(Note that this, too, is an unfinished saga and will contain missing parts.)

LEGENDS SAGA
(Also an unfinished arc. This one won't have as many holes, but may contain some.)

-Leon Valitzer
-Reio Kuntakai

GENERIC ROSTER
(These characters belong to no particular saga/arc, but may make occassional cameos therein. These are the basic characters I'll use for NPCs and such.)

-Runheim Grazier
-Eldricht Zendrir
-Roger Sindel

Name: Halo

Age: 719 (19 conscious years)

Gender: Male

General Stats: (All stats are based on a 10-point scale, with allowances for higher numbers for ultra-powerful characters.)

Speed - 10
Endurance/Stamina - 9
Offensive - 9
Defensive - 15
Magic Level - 9

Element: Omnielemental/Non-Elemental

Special Markings/Tattoos: A winged "H" on his right hand. It shines gold most of the time.

Appearance: Halo wears a mahogany-colored armor with matching boots and gauntlets. He also wields a sword of the same metallic substance as his suit, and it is sheathed in a metal-encased leather sheath on his back. Underneath all his armor is more leather armor. His hair is naturally dark brown and winged back and away, similar to Heihachi Mishima's in the Tekken series. He also has a racially characteristic tail that extends and retracts to any length. This is a very useful tail both in and out of battle.

Personality: Halo has a very quirky nature, being omnielemental. However, his roots are a legacy of heroism, and as such, he takes on that family legacy with pride and honor. As such, he typically shows much compassion, kinship, and kindness to others. It's difficult to anger him, as he's usually very calm and collected...a calculating fighter. Along side his casual self, when he delves into certain elemental traits, he typically gains some characteristic attribute of the type. For example, as he goes into a Thunder-based form, he gets exceptionally hyper, short-tempered, and quick to the punch. When he gains the power of Fire, he becomes angered at the slightest thing and is quite brash and hot-headed.

Fears: Nothing. Halo is a formiddable warrior who's seen a lot - from gory, torturous deaths to legions of the undead feasting upon a crowd of people. Suffice to say, his mind has been scarred plenty of times.

Strengths: His omnielemental attributes make it difficult to pin down a certain elemental weakness and also allows him to exploit the weaknesses in others. He also has an array of chi-, mental-, magical-, and physical-based powers and abilities that make him extremely versatile in battle.

Weaknesses: Though a highly experienced and advanced fighter, his weakness lies in his racial lack of a good constitution. Thus while he has a great external defense, once the armor is removed (which is an extreme rarity), his defense is quite low. Also, as he can't last in extremely long fights, causing a battle to go on for extended periods of time will wear him out. As his chi is near limitless, intense battling alone will not bear down on him.

Equipment: Hero's Sword - A powerful blade made of his family's trademark metal: Halite. Halite is hard enough to split even super-sub-atomic particles apart, break though any barrier, and sever anything that it touches. The few metals known to counter Halite are also exceptionally rare, which makes the sight of this weapon a sure-fire sign of destruction. This particular weapon of Halite is elementally-charged, bearing all elemental attributes known to exist. This can make it difficult to use, as anything that can absorb elemental damage of any kind will take little damage from the sword, even if it dissipates any barriers surrounding them. As Halo is more of a hand-to-hand fighter, this weapon rarely makes appearances.

Powers: Cannon - This set of powerful ki-based blasts is Halo's main energy-based attack, along with any variant forms. At it's lowest levels, it's simply a charged-beam attack that flies straight towards the target. At higher levels, it can home in on the target, gains power and efficiency, and also can take on the attributes of various elements and statuses. The longer the charge, the more powerful the beam, and each Cannon is named after its element and/or status and/or level of power.

Blaster Cannon - A variant on the Cannon that explodes with powerful ki energy on contact. While it is stronger and automatically homes in on targets, it takes a bit longer to charge due to the energy requirements. Also, the Blaster Cannon is restricted only to power levels of its own and cannot assume properties and attributes of statuses and elements. To this end, the Blaster Cannon has an exponentially higher top-level than the normal Cannon, which makes it a far more deadly attack than many give it credit for.

Flare - Another ki-based beam shot straight at the foe with elemental energy. While Flares cannot be charged as Cannons are, nor are they as fast or powerful, they do claim a two-way ability based on the element of the Flare. This two-way ability is usually detrimental to the recipient and benificial to the user in ways such as life drain, energy drain, temporary paralysis, freeze, burn, petrification, and other status effects and abilities. While no statuses inflicted by Flares are permanent, some (such as freeze and petrification) may require external aid before the status is removed completely (such as a heat source to thaw the ice or a softening solvent to dissolve the stoneskin).

********************
Name: Maire Rhiannon Stormwing
Species: griffyn (half peregrine falcon half domestic cat)
Age: 100
Birthday: Unknown
Chinese Sign: Rabbit
Height: 4' shoulders 5' nose to tail
Weight: about 40lbs give or take

History: Maire is one of the few remaining of her kind left on Mobius. Seeking shelter in the high mountains she was taught to keep away from the great metal cities, and to be wary of any stranger. Yet, fate had another plan for her. She was unexpectantly thrown off course during a violent storm and was hurled into Knotwood. There she was cared for by Bunny and Antoine, yet her real loyalty was to be tested when she faced Robotnik after he kidnapped the young Artimus. Her bravery cost her Robotnik killed her family and as punishment, she was cast out from her eyrie never to return. Yet she was taken into the D'Coolette family and she now looks out for Artimus and her new family.

Name: Xvenialinaboorginica
Gender: Female
Age: 57
Height: 4'10"
Hair Color: Graying
Weight: 194
Appearance: Stocky, getting old, appears to be out of shape and a bit frumpy. Might slightly resemble your grandmother.
Short description: Xvenialinaboorginica is definitely not a woman to be reckoned with. She'll just as soon kick you in the balls as look at you, which isn't difficult at all for her, considering her short height. She's an ex-smoker, but unfortunately, all the smoking she did in her early years left her voice irreversably and horrifyingly distorted. She sounds like a raspy, old, fat man, and is indeed often mistaken for one, except her boobs are far too large to be mistaken for man boobs. She enjoys picking fights, when she can muster the energy to get off her couch, and when she sees small children or animals skirt across the road, she always makes an effort to swerve her car and hit them. Yes, it was Xvenialinaboorginica who hit your cat last week. And she isn't sorry.

Background: Amber is the one true world, of which every other world, including our own Earth, are only "Shadows." Within Amber dwells the royal family of Oberon, princes and princesses numbering 13, with others still yet to be found or have been found and are now missing. During one of her trips to Yggdrasil, a Shadow populated by sentient animals, Princess Flora of Amber entered into an affair with Thorgrim the Mighty, one of Yggdrasil's great warriors. The affair led to the birth of Enkidu. Enkidu was instructed in the ways of battle by his father until his 18th birthday, When he was told of his Amber heritage by Flora when next she visited. Enkidu journeyed to Amber with Flora, where he walked "The Pattern" of Amber and unlocked his full potential as a descendant of Oberon. In the decades since, he has learned more about combat, magic, and other skills than anyone in Yggdrasil could have ever imagined. Immortality, however, was not without it's downside...When everyone in Yggdrasil that he knew and loved grew old or died, his only family became Flora, who was likewise Immortal. With her continued guidance, Enkidu became every bit the adventurer that his relatives were. He still makes the occasional journey to Yggdrasil, so he never forgets his world and his family there, and how he began his life.

Special: Enkidu has all the power of a Prince of Amber, including heightened physical power, magic potential, and Immortality. Walking the Pattern has also granted him the ability to move among Shadow. Using the Deru also allows him the ability to commune with plants and animals.

Name: Lash

Specie: Sand Cat

Age: 22

Place of Birth: Sandopolis

Height: 4'2"

Weight: 89 lbs

Disposition: Shy, rather evasive for the most part. Submissive behavior shows he's used to taking orders, but he can be adamant, and very tenacious when given a motif.

Quirks: Superb sense of hearing and high resistance to heat. Mild fire-based abilities, integrated as extreme heat in melee and whip attacks. Keeps a red bandanna tied around his left leg, as a symbol of tribal rank. Mute, due to neglect of his voice; his own sensitive hearing was to thank for that.

Skills: Desert-oriented know-how, such as survival, combat, and recon. Due to lack of speech, has become an extremely proficient writer and typist. Sharpshooting skills are top-tier, if he's got enough distance between himself and his target to scale their movements. Proficient at sewing and other textile-based skills, as he has to make his own clothing and gear.

Tools: Satchel full of survival equipment, such as blankets and basic utensils to furnish his clients. Dragunov rifle and high-plait stockwhip. Durable duster coat, multilayered gloves and guarded boots. Spare parts and cloth to repair his personal gear.

Appearance:

Bio: The Sand Cats are no strangers to harsh environments... they have lived in Sandopolis for ages, first adapting to the desolate climate through evolution, then religiously to ward the malicious ghosts of the temple... and martially, to combat their own unfortunate kin, who had been turned to fuel for Robotnik's creations.

Even after the madman's threat had passed from Sandopolis, the Sandcats held to their militaristic lifestyle, making it into a trade for the good of the people. Travellers looking to get through the ravenous desert would be wise to employ the Sand Cats...

Lash in particular is inexperienced with outsiders compared to his kin, thus being one of the few to sport the color red. He is an uncanny marksman, and a sharp soldier, but carries himself meekly outside of battle. For the most part, he is very accepting of people, as he's eager to learn.

Name:Yuki The Fox

Species:Wolf

Name: Spirit Macardi

Personality: Shy, but friendly. He's been known to show extreme courage when faced with adversity.

Skills: Feline agility and dexterity. Can dual-wield blades. Has light-element powers in some stories.

Faults: Not outwardly strong. His shyness makes him submissive to some people.

Bio: Spirit is a generally happy and care-free person. He cares for his friends deeply and would do anything to help them, though his devotion leads to him doing things like throwing himself in front of enemy attacks. He has an especially soft spot in his heart for small animals and loves taking care of them whenever he can. His background and powers can vary from story to story, but his two-blade fighting style in the vein of Miyamoto Musashi remains constant.

Background:
A long time ago when Valentino was once human, he was a renown assassin. Until he had a mark on a mysterious man and as always Valentino took the job. When he had gotten to the mark's mansion, something was off, it was too quiet and no guards. You would think a man that’s rich and powerful would have had at least a few guards outside the mansion. Going against all the signs, Valentino infiltrated the mansion. Valentino met his mark, sitting on a chair by the fire sipping wine all alone. It has been a year since Valentino met his master Alucard and lost his humanity only to become what they call a Nightangel. His training and his new life conditions took him 2 yrs to adjust. His master finally decided to take him to his home realm. 300 yrs later Valentino returned to try to live amongst the living. Valentino lived his life ravishing in blood, for feeding made him feel alive, so he slaughtered and fed on living through the ages. Valentino has seen wars come and go, and watched as the living build, destroy and build. But there was a war that devastated the Nightangel world and now became endangered species, he’s not even sure if there’s not a Nightangel left or is there. All this because of one man, in the end he got his deserved punishment. Valentino wandered endlessly into the world seeking death but it seems as if death ran from him. Valentino was a hungered and the thirst was uncontrollable and so he fed on the living in the darkness of the night but someone had sneaked up on him, and was caught feeding on a thrall. The captor couldn't believe in all his lifetime would ever come across an immortal such as this. Where did he come from, how long did he live, and how did he survive till this day and age? Valentino allowed this two tailed fox have his way with him, hoping it’ll kill him. And so he experimented on.
Project Espada has to do with these new types of nano-machines called nanites that will give the host the ability to psoinics, and summon any weapon he wanted but Valentino had made a request on weapons he will like to carry and it was done. These nanites fused with him on a molecular level and improving his already strength, agility and dexterity. They ran tests and everything seems to go exceptionally well but the problem was Valentino could not be controlled so they deemed Project Espada a failure. They put him away in cryogenic sleep with the rest of the thralls that were experimented on previously.

Name: Vincent the F-Model Gizoid
Species: F-Model Gizoid (Fox in cyberspace and hologram mode)
Height: 4'3"
Weight: 112 lbs.
Eyes: yellow
Fur/Hair: none (red fur and headfur in cyberspace and hologram mode)
Age: 5 (appears to be 18)
Personality: Friendly, has feelings for Nicole
Accessories/Marks: Resembles a cross between a "Gemerl" Gizoid and a roboticized fox

Bio: Vincent was constructed by Dr. "Eggman" Robotnik to be the most advanced and powerful Gizoid unit ever created. Vincent is built from the "Gemerl" model, but with several modifications that shape it to look similar to a roboticized fox. Before he could be activated however, a Freedom Fighter covert mission allowed Nicole to be downloaded into Vincent's dormant consciousness. Inside, Nicole convinced Vincent that doing Eggman's bidding was wrong and to join the Freedom Fighters. Vincent agreed to this, in no small part because he found himself attracted to Nicole. In the interest of starting a relationship, Vincent ventures into cyberspace often to spend time with Nicole. This also allows him to manifest himself as a hologram and assist Nicole in her duties. The reverse is also possible, with Nicole maintaining a permanent link to download into Vincent's mind or communicate with him. Of course, being an advanced Gizoid, he has also proven himself invaluable in saving Mobius on a regular basis...much to Eggman's frustration.

He is very strong, but not as strong as Mighty or Knuckles. He can tap into Chaos power, but not as much as Shadow. Fortunately, he has shown a remarkable skill in flying. His intellect is also impressive, as he has a 285 IQ. He now serves as a valued Agent for G.U.N.

Leraku Erudon
Species: Ring-Tailed Lemur
Proffession: Technomage, mechanic
Mana Type: Unknown
Known Weapons: Tamashii, Alchemy Cannon, etc
Appearance
Containers: Pocket Dimension Satchelbag (Worn like bandolier)
Description
A ring-tailed lemur who used to be part of a powerful race known as the Hydralonians. He was high ranked and had incredible power, but misused his power and became a stereotypical overpowered jerk, shaming his race. He was stripped of his title, power, and equipment, and given a new form to boot. He regrets his past actions and wants to make up for his mistakes. He is very tech-savvy and his power is specifically unknown, however it is presumed ancient. The power's color is cyan, and he is capable of moving at high speeds, however his physical strength is lacking. He is capable of a magic he calls 'Alchemy', not the 'Cauldrons-and-potions' kind, but the Technology kind. He is capable of summoning a large arm cannon among other things, however the stronger the ability, the more exhausting and draining it is. He usually has to recharge his mana after a large attack so he thusly is incapable of doing attack after attack. He is now working from his tech shop in Sega City.
Owned Property: Leraku's Technology Shoppe, his airship The Outcast , his satchelbag, his tools, the Tamashii (Morphing sword)
Personality:Casual, occasionally brooding, often friendly, humorous
Most likely to:Be seen building something-or-the-other
Quote: "Well,  i didn't expect THAT to explode..."

At present I’m in the middle of crafting 'Cherry', a possible alter-ego
for use in forum RP’s. Last night I had just gotten to the point of compacting the whole thing into a usable format when I ran full tilt into a writers block and broke my pen. Thus I sought out a source of inspiration, which turned out to be this
thread.  Suffice to say the vibe I got
was somewhat mixed and caused the block to stare ever more uncomfortably over my shoulder. 

Some are long and
winding, some are short and sweet.  Some
are bullet points sitting alone on an barren sheet. 

So I got to thinking, what do gm’s expect from a
character profile?  How best to represent
a character’s physical and psychological makeup to your prospective story
writer, without seeming lazy or boring them to death?

Obviously the shorter the profile is the quicker it is to
look over for reference.  However, in my
personal experience, the shorter a profile is, the less time has actually been
put into the character and the less the player cares about development later on in
the game.  That being said, I tend to go completely
overboard with my own character biography's.  Planning out
their life story, bouncing around ideas, doodling pics between lectures
and usually writing half a book in my spare time.  Ahh the wonders of procrastination.  Point is when I come to whittle it down for
posting it tends to be quite long winded, even after hours alone in a small white tile room with cutting tool
and chainsaw.

Here is where I start getting a little pensive. Should I keep it as short as possible for convenience of both game masters and other players, accepting that more work has gone into the background despite the lack of presentation? Or is it best to post up something that in all likelihood could be used as bookworm bait should it ever be printed?  Though I like reading through a character’s bibliography I highly doubt that anyone else would.

Opinions? Suggestions? Arguments, advice?

A mode of direction would be sufficient device

Personally, I never do character profiles. I loathe them, and I loathe having to learn other people's profiles. I honestly feel that the best written characters are the ones where all the information you need about them are presented in the rp itself within the actual writing. I don't need to know specific character appearances what clothes they're wearing etc etc nor their life story. It's also a lot less restrictive later on when you might want to change anything specific about your character and depending on whether or not you want to follow your character profile to the letter it can also make it more restrictive in even joining rps in the first place.

But if you absolutely want to do a character profile then be my guess, and I've no idea which is best; long and complex or short and simple, other than my own two cents and thats to have no character profile at all!

I also find it interesting just skimming through this thread now that there's been quite a few people who posted character profiles yet never even bothered to rp on this forum. Makes me wonder why they bothered?

I know exactly what you mean.  Maybe it's the act of creation that matters to some, an exercises in expression rather then the prequel to further development?

Anywho, thank you for your advice Pach, you make a really good point apposing strict profiling.  Maybe I should just bounce some ideas off the prospective Gm's?  ^_^

Yeah I guess it's always down to your particular GM. Although even if they did want a profile I don't think I'd make one, lol.

I sometimes, or rather often, find profiles to draw up a bore. Plus I agree it can make it inflexible to adapt to other RP's if you stick to padantic details.

Then again for GM's that want it, it's quite handy to 'copy cut paste' and edit and it's good for a brief synopsis I suppose.

Lol yeah, so many profiles, so little players. Bummer man. Where's the commitment...

As flammatory as it sounds, how many of these players would you of WANTED to stick around?

In all honesty, the only time I would ask for a profile is if I required a specific piece of information. I prefer to not go through the hassle, and instead simply post as I go. I develop the character's story in the RP, as such things usually don't end up as canon anyhow.

General MFW RPing - Kairus

Name:  Kairus
Nickname:  Cy
Species:  For all intents and purposes, human.
Weapons:  Swords carved from psionic energy, Dread Harvest
Height:  6'1"
Build:  Sturdy but trim
Eyes:  Blue
Hair:  Brown and wild-looking
Owns:  Kairus Robotics, a company in Sega City making consumer robotics.
From:  Another dimension, does not remember where for reasons below

 Kairus is talented, trained and powerful in the psionic arts, claiming the title "arch-psion", and capable of forging scimitar-like blades of psionic energy.  Granted, for a mind as powerful as his, it seems strange the condition it's in.  Repeated exposure to plot holes has damaged his psyche, he is probably one egg short of a dozen now, so to speak.  It hasn't destabilized his powers so much as made him a little more unpredictable and less of the grizzled, grim fellow people knew before.  The plotholes that damaged his sanity took a good portion of his wealth:  he still has a decent amount of money and income, but his companies are all but gone:  Kairus Robotics is the only one that remains, making consumer electronics.  He seems to wander a bit more, spending his time out and about.  His own bout with Sailorness hasn't helped either, though it did come in handy when he faced down a seemingly invincible foe in another dimension in what seems like eons ago...

Kairus still looks the same and still wears the same getup he always did:  A brown hooded cape tops a combination of indigo coveralls and a grey vest.  Brown boots are banded with black straps over his feet, a technologically-advanced bracer on his left arm.  Clipped to the red sash he wears around his waist, though, is a gold cylinder which opens up into Dread Harvest, a necromantically-charged scythe given to him by his mentor...whose name also escapes him due to the damage to his sanity.

Name: Sakura "Courage" Solo

Alias: Saku

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Species: Hedgehog

Eye Colour: Aqua Green

Fur Colour: Blonde

Height: 5' 7"

Weight: 129 Lbs.

Typical Clothing: Grey T-Shirt, camouflage jacket with rolled up sleeves, cuffed jeans, combat boots and a crystal pendant.

Weapons: 357 Magnum is her main, but she does use some other weapons hidden on her person, including knives hidden in her boots, shurikens hidden in her belt and so on.

Bio: Sakura's a different kind of mercenary. Some would say she's more of a vigilante, but she likes getting paid too much. XD She really does do what she does for the greater good though, and has done some jobs for free simply because she couldn't stand seeing the innocent suffer so badly.

She and her twin sister Sayuri were originally from a hidden village called Jade Leaf, which was razed by an oriental crimelord of an echidna known only as Zam, his main weapon being what appears to be an emerald sword. Sakura's parents, Uriah and Freesia, were killed in the raze. The 5-year-old blonde hedgehog and her sister would be rescued by a band of mercenaries who happened to be passing through the area when they had seen what was going on. Fearing the one responsible for the village's destruction may come looking for the two little survivors, the band takes Sakura and Sayuri under their wings for a time.

While Sayuri doesn't really take to the whole mercenary life, Sakura certainly does. She trains hard under her new 'family', and will eventually bump elbows with Zam to find out the crystal pendant she wears, given to her by her father just before his death, is the reason Zam destroyed Jade Leaf. The two will fight many times in Sakura's mercenary career. All the while she'll make a whole slew of other enemies, including Shiroi, Bane, Kendo, and she'll even run into some miraculously surviving Black Arms at one point. She's also made her share of dorky enemies as well, such as Trailer Park Bob and Stan. Don't ask...

That's not to say she hasn't made her fair share of allies as well though, including Silver, Manic, Shadow, and others. Between missions, Sakura helps her sister out in her bakery.

Skills: Sakura's a very skilled fighter and marksman, though she does have her clumsy moments. She's had SOME Ninja Training in the Black Puma style, but she never finished past Blue Belt level.

Criminal Record: Technically she has none because she generally tries to stay within the law during her missions, but that doesn't stop her from showing up on wanted posters.

~*~*~*~

Name: Sayuri "Hope" Solo

Alias: Sayu

Gender: Female

Age: 27

Species: Hedgehog

Eye Colour: Ice Pink

Fur Colour: Brunette with Pink Highlights

Height: 5' 7"

Weight: 129 Lbs.

Typical Clothing: White Crop-Top and Mini Skirt trimmed with Purple and Blue. A Cheerleader-style outfit really.

Weapons: None. Sayuri hates weapons and fighting.

Bio: Sayuri's the more innocent, sweet and quiet of the two sisters. She never did take to the mercenary life like her sister Sakura did, taking more interest in making people happy by making sweets and treats. This lead her to open her bakery, the "Sugar Star". Sayuri's a very hard worker, pouring her love and passion into all her recipes and cake decoration. Because of this, her cakes and sweets are known throughout Mobius. Thanks to the Cosmic Highway, she's even had some customers from other dimensions. Zonic is actually a regular thanks to her winning White Chocolate Chip Red Velvet Cookies.

But I digress. Sayuri is very happy with her life in the bakery, especially when Sakura's not out on missions and is there to help her out. However, when Sakura IS on missions, Sayuri does worry. She's always looking over her shoulder, waiting to get a call that Sakura's been hurt, or worse.

Skills: While Sayuri has no actual fighting skills, she was indeed a Cheerleader when she was going to school and thus can move just as lithely and agilely as her sister, if not more. Its sort of like watching Kim Possible really. Her REAL skills however are in baking, cooking, decorating cakes and overall making people smile.

Criminal Record: Are you kidding? XD Sweet little Sayuri? If being adorable and innocent were a crime, maybe...
