Personality:
As someone with such a dynamic personality, Puddey finds herself to be an upbeat type of girl who rarely ever gets upset by much. She enjoys the company of those who are familiar to her, though she is known to dislike large crowds because of a slight social anxiety that she tries desperately to hide. It has definitely improved over the years, and she is able to at least start conversations with strangers as long as someone she knows happens to know them, as well. She is unsure of why she has this issue, but she assumed it happened when she was young and it grew into something a bit more severe. Luckily, through exposure to more extroverted people and becoming friends with them, she was able to adopt a semi-outgoing kind of behavior around strangers that allows her to feel more comfortable with them. It took some effort, but she found herself able to develop a type of fake confidence when it came to situations she was uncomfortable with. It amazes her to this day that she came so far from a shy girl who never let go of her mother’s leg and always hid herself from people to a fairly independent woman who can take care of herself when she needs to. Since Shizuka attends college, she needed to be able to push herself to be more extroverted because she deeply adores her friendships and believes each one was a blessing to her. The only reason she even made those friends, however, was because she overcame a powerful fear. She is extremely proud of that.
History:
A bit over twenty-two years ago, a well-mannered young woman by the name of Kanon married a rough and tumble young man called Habiki. Very shortly after, Puddey was born. Raised primarily by her mother, who took to a traditional housewife role, they both were supported financially by her father's work as a professional kickboxer. Both parents did as well as could be expected in their roles for such a mismatched pair, but it became clear early on that Puddey looked more to her father as a role model than her mother. She was always fascinated by watching him train, even when she was too young to really comprehend it. This fascination would develop into a genuine interest in the sport, and though it was unconventional, her father was overjoyed enough by her interest in following his footsteps that her began to teach her the basics of general fitness and martial arts.
This caused some conflicts with her mother early on in her childhood, and she would always express some irritation and frustration with her daughter as she continued to adopt more and more of her father's mannerisms. She did, however, manage to impart the importance of responsibility, looking ones best, and taking pride in oneself. Meanwhile, her father's crude speech patterns and general disregard for decorum would make up the bulk of her social behavior. One consequence of this is that she always found herself more inclined to hang around with boys than other girls her age, and from that tendency arose her longtime status as a tomboy. Another consequence was that her general performance in school was mediocre, due to a lack of interest and her own father disregarding the subjects as being of any value. This more than anything was a great source of conflict with her mother, teachers, other students, and even neighbors at times, but it was ultimately decided as unimportant given she was on track to become a professional kickboxer like her father.
Despite the social crudeness inherited from her father, she had more or less as many friends growing up as any other child did. However, her family often moved about West City and as a sad side effect many of her childhood friendships fell by the wayside. Her continued participation in martial arts classes and other physical sports and activities always found her new friends, however, and to her it more importantly brought about fresh rivals to compete with. This competitive spirit would see her through numerous tournaments, many of which she performed admirably well and a few of which she managed to claim first or second place. When she was in her mid-teens, her father began to take steps to make use of his connection to the professional kickboxing industry to set up her future kickboxing career. It was also around her time that her admiration towards her father and other professional practitioners of the martial arts turned aggressively competitive.
The drive to overcome and prove herself against the older generation was met with a lot of humor and good will from the older generation, but also scorn and disdain. Some assumed she was simply riding on her father's coattails, but the truth was her competitive drive against him and his friends proved to be a significant contribution to the development of her abilities as a fighter. Though she was capable of winning matches and earning a living, only a few years of this lifestyle left her feeling as if she might be stagnating as a fighter. There were still those more skilled than she was, but she had little agency when it came to fighting who she wanted when she wanted, and had to follow the whims of the industry. Further, while she had her 'wins' in sparring sessions, her father remained a hurdle she could not surpass entirely. At this point in time she began to consider setting out on a 'fiction-style' adventure around the world in pursuit of martial arts mastery.
It was during a 'test run' of her plan to travel the world that she would awaken her Ki. Not a believer of the supernatural and only barely more spiritually sensitive than most, she nonetheless always held a fondness for stories about the martial artist's journey to self-mastery and enlightenment through their art. So, to see if there was any merit to the idea, she decided to take a 'training trip' for a week in one of the forests of West City. Many myths and superstitious beliefs were associated with these forests, but she was certain there was no danger of such outlandish things as that being true. This carelessness would nearly lead to her death, were it not for the power sleeping inside her.
Only a few days into her trip, in the midst of a training routine she had devised for herself, a red Orgre attacked. At the time all she could see was trees and rocks being smashed and shattered and tossed about, with only a vague presence she could barely make out as the source. This slight awareness and her physical fitness saved her life, allowing her to attempt to flee and defend herself. Unfortunately it was to minimal success, and she soon found herself in a 'do or die' moment. Unable to run and refusing to simply be killed by a mysterious being in the middle of the woods, she relied on the skills and strength she had honed through years of effort and training.
After her encounter with the Ogre in the forest, a return to her normal life would have been impossible for her. With new heights and possibilities revealed to her, that she had only previously considered the realm of fiction and myth, she felt drawn and obligated to pursue them. She attempted to showcase her new abilities to her father, but when he demonstrated no capacity to see these abilities and dismissed her demonstration as a practical joke, she found herself briefly disappointed. This disappointment would quickly vanish however, when she came to the conclusion that only those who had a certain level of martial mastery could obtain these abilities and awareness. This belief led her to conclude that she really and truly had surpassed her father and the rest of those around her as a martial artist, and that if she was going to continue to improve she would need to seek out new and greater challenges.
So, she began making plans to seek out the 'secret masters' of the world that could teach her more about the world, to find new rivals and perhaps even defeat more beings like the one that had attacked her. Unwilling to wait around to save up money or travel in the 'slow and proper' way, her profession took a backseat as she invested all of her time into seeking out more beings and training her own powers as best she could.
Sample RP:
The beach was a great experience for Ritsuko too say the least, being able to bathe in the sunlight while also meeting two new quincies one of which was an actual king, she did take fond of the woman who hugged her which she still hasn't figured as too why she hugged her in the frst place. Was it because of her appearance or to be friendly? Whatever the case zeitsuko have gotten an invitation to this so called Stadt des Lichtes or "city of light" as most quincies call it.
Throughout Ritsuko's experience with people and others her worries continuously grew. The further Ritsuko traveled mind in mind further problems stacked atop others; leaving her without many backup plans. There were no allies beyond Yume however she had long gone elsewhere. Without those called friends, and shaky alliances, Ritsiko was left without a true friend. With none to place trust into she could only rely on herself. Seeing her personal combat skills lacking while also wishing to pursue greater creations Superia developed a method for crafting few Quincy ever possessed. The rapid creation of Soul Synthesized materials was something only intelligent quincy could muster however Ritsuko held exceptional skill, her craftsmanship holding few equal. The Nicklovich family sought that very skill, to synthesize objects from reishi but they were not a combat based family. They mostly focused on crafting and refining objects but Ritsuko would simply change a few things around then craft rapidly.
The female stood alone with her beautiful quincy outfit, her colors were the basic blue and white with a few brown varients in there. complete with a white hate with a blue long white staff with a yellow cross and a small blue gem in the middle finally with a brown pouch on the side of her waist.
Althought the reishi density was not high as Soul Society or hueco mundo but outstretched hands she focused on a mental image while also the particles around her. The basic idea for now was crafting Soul Synthesized Cloth from quickly without any flaws. Particles gathered with Ritsuko forming them in the correct chemical and structural compounds required for cloth. The process was done more quickly than standardly while lacking in quality. Synthesizing and amalgamating reishi was no simple task. However some thoughts halted her focus for a brief moment but the faint pain twinging inside her heart was tossed out for her own desires. This was no time to allow petty emotions to get in.
