Spoiler (Click to View)Name: Maru Shirasagijo
Nicknames/Aliases: The Elegant Breeze (stage nickname for battles)
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Nationality: Half-French, Half-Japanese
Physical Appearance: Maru appears as a petite teenage girl with a pale complexion, short, wavy hair in teal gradients that barely reaches her shoulders, and soft emerald eyes. Her usual outfit consists of a long-sleeved, frilly white blouse striped with black, a knee-length denim skirt with four brown buttons on the left side, a pair of cerulean blue ballerina shoes with a ribbon on top of each one, a tilted brown beanie with elegant blue embroidery on the rim, a silver ring shaped like an infinity sign, and an overly long scarf in mixed colors of green and blue that she tied around her neck to the left, leaving its ends flapping in the air or hanging just above her feet.
Resonance: Maru's aura appears as a faded haze of blue and green gradients. When she achieves perfect resonance with her Bey, her aura becomes clearer and more distinct in color, and her eyes momentarily flash golden.
Character Alignment: Neutral Good
Personality: Maru is a generally calm yet lighthearted person, and while not very outgoing, is a fairly friendly individual and doesn't mind hanging out with people as long as they don't blabber unncessarily, which she finds annoying. She's a talented artist as well, and has a symmetric vision that she uses in many of her life aspects, such as her clothing having three alternating patterns of fitting colors, and her art having not more than two themes at a time. Due to the aforementioned symmetric philosophy she uses, Maru can be quite rigid and opposed to chaotic changes or unusual elements despite her normally open-minded approach to different matters, but with enough persuasion, she can adapt to and accept change.
When Blading, Maru's main strategy is to try and analyze the opponent prior to the battle to figure out as much as she can about them, and plan accordingly to better her chances of winning. Therefore, she acts more subdued and quiet in battle, so as to not give away too much information about her. If that fails, however, she simply goes with a last-minute plan and hope for the best (this was something she had to learn to do after mutliple encounters, battles and experiences making her slowly change her rigid attitude, not something she started out doing).
Likes: Neutral colors, soft colors, cool weather, winter clothes, scenery, flying by plane, going on picnics, nature-inspired art, simple art, acrylic paint, simple accessories, skirts, cold juices, cinnamon & vanilla-flavored ice cream, casual battles, stadiums with symmetrical shapes (the standard stadium is her favorite)
Dislikes: Too bright colors, extra detailed art, clashing color palettes, hot and humid weather, overly extroverted people, naïvete, unncessary complications, drama, too competitive environments (like Beyblade teams), spicy food, any sort of meat that's not chicken or fish, crunchy food.
Relationships:
1- Lui Shirasagijo: Maru used to sporadically visit her uncle with her parents when she was younger, seeing as he was the closest one to them in the family. She didn't exactly like him at first (mainly because of how awkward he acted when they were in the same space for more than two minutes), but as time passed and she learned that he was (and according to him, still is) a Blading Legend, she started to respect and like him a bit more. This was why, after her father went missing and her mother decided to move back to Japan, she starting visiting him and spending time with him more frequently, even getting into Blading under his tutelage and actually enjoying the game. Now, Maru sees Lui as a second father figure, one that she respects, admires and loves, and she vows to uphold his expectations and her own by advancing on the world stage.
Wow, that's the sappiest relationship section I ever wrote. Ah, frick it
Beys:
1- Vanish Longinus Tapered Mobius -2: Maru's first Bey, a generic combo she got as a gift from her mother (tipped off by Lui ofc) after acing her final exams at the 3rd year of Middle School.
2- Iris Mayura .8 Feather Brush -A: Maru's current Bey, one that she designed on her own by taking some inspiration from her Vanish Longinus and several other elements she added in.
Bey Parts & Details - Iris Mayura .8 Feather Brush (Left-Spin Defense type):
Kiwami Core - Mayura: Mayura is a Left-spinning Kiwami Core featuring a side view of a peacock's head with four feather at the top to represent its namesake; Mayura, the Sanskrit word for peacock, which is one of the sacred birds of the Hindu mythology. The Core's main color scheme is dark blue, the feathers are mixed shades of blue, green, brown and amber, and the one visible eye of the metallic head is golden.
Kiwami Blade - Iris: Iris is a Left-Spinning Kiwami Blade featuring eight curved, feather-like shapes as contact points that almost overlap on each other, giving the Blade a circular shape reminiscent of a peacock's tail. Iris' gimmick lies in the 'feathers', which follow a pattern of one being hollowed out from the inside to absorb impact, while the one next to it features rubber on the outside to allow for Spin-equalization against opposite-spin opponents. The Blade's main color scheme is dark blue, while the feathers alternate between being emerald green and brownish amber on the inside (the green ones are the hollowed-out and the amber ones' outer blue is the rubber).
Kiwami Weight - 8: 8 is a nearly circular Kiwami Weight that looks like a miniature Iris, and its shape gives it good stamina and LAD potential suited for defensive combos.
Kiwami Armor - Allure: Allure is a Kiwami Armor with a gimmick, which is that it can be rotated to fill in the hollowed-out parts of the Iris Blade in both Upper and Lower Mode, by making use of four oval, springy rubber pieces. It is a translucent golden color.
Neo Disc - Feather: Feather is a Neo Disc that supports both the Upper and Lower Modes of Kiwami Beys and has a low center of gravity, similar to Tapered. As its name implies, it features two nearly overlapping feather shapes, which give it a decently circular shape that helps with stamina and LAD-based combinations. It is a solid silver color
Driver - Brush: Brush is a Defense-type Driver with a plastic ball tip and a POM ring just above it, one of which is free-spinning where the other is spring-loaded. The Driver's gimmick lies in the ring, which tilts up and down when it makes contact with the stadium to prevent a knockout with minimal stamina loss. The Driver is translucent amber in color.
Special Moves:
1- Iris Siphon: Mayura spins steadily in the centre, brushing off most attacks and gaining some speed upon contact with a Right-spinning opponent. This move is Maru's go-to at the start of a battle, especially when she doesn't know much about her opponent's Bey.
2- Iris Guard: Mayura circles the centre with its Driver's ring tilting a bit down, using both the hollowed-out and fully rubber feathers to avoid receiving damage.
3- Allure Spark: When its hollowed-out feathers are filled, Mayura uses them in conjunction with the rubber ones to deliver several quick strikes, utilizing the rubber's increased recoil to make them more impactful. This move is particularly effecient at low spin speeds in opposite-spin, as it also adds the risk of a Slow-Motion Burst if the opponent's Bey has a much higher spin speed.
4- Enchant Wing Counter: When knocked back, Mayura's Brush Driver tilts down, before immediately shooting it upwards in a counterattack that flings the opponent's Bey up in the air, which could result in an Over Finish or, in some cases, a Burst Finish.
Launch Technique: Maru holds her Launcher above her head, spinning it in her right hand twice before adjusting her beanie with a thin smirk, dropping her hand right in front of her, and pulling on the string at the call of "GO...Shoot!"
Trivia:
1- Despite being born and mainly raised in France, Maru's French is pretty bad. As such, she prefers speaking in Japanese whenever she can, and that was one of several factors that helped her settle in better after moving to Hokkaido.
2- Maru's stage name in battles was actually just a random suggestion from one of her friends that she shot down, but someone coined it as her official nickname and she's not happy about that.
3- Lui isn't Maru's direct uncle, he's actually both her parents' cousin (her parents, Ruri and Luis, are cousins as well), but due to family shenanigans, he's the closest to both of them and practically the only one who supported their marriage, and as such, is the one they're in most contact with.
