So, I'm probably joining this (might even join the Discord as soon as I reinstall it; the site is really hard to work with), and here's my character...which almost everyone here has heard of at least once with how many times I entered her into a fic. But hey, this is the updated DB profile so it gets a pass!
Name: Akiharu "Aki" Fujiwara
Nicknames/Aliases: StarPower!! (Online username), Twinkie (by Juudai, who I may or may not enter depending on how many slots will be available for a second character)
Gender: Female
Age: 13 (but she insists she's 14)
Nationality: Japanese
Physical Appearance: Aki is a petite teenage girl with a pale complexion, platinum blonde hair that she styles into a small braid sided to the left, and big, round red eyes. Her usual attire consists of a long-sleeved white jumpsuit with pink frills on the shoulders, cuffs and legs, black sandals with crossing blue stripes, and a rainbow-colored misanga on her left hand which she takes off when she washes her hands and stuff like that. She is also seen occasionally wearing a pair of clear ice blue earrings and a rainbow-colored choker that matches her misanga, in addition to sporadically using a pink ribbon to tie her hair (she only uses that one on special occasions that don't involve her bouncing all over the place).
Resonance: Aki's aura appears as a shimmering swirl of silver, hot pink and dark blue energy. Sometimes, when she resonates with Astrea, her eyes temporarily flash blue.
Character Alignment: Neutral Good
Personality: Aki is a hyperactive, bouncy and energetic girl who loves meeting new people and experiencing new things. She is very bubbly, friendly, and the most optimistic person you'll ever meet, as well as being a little bit too idealistic and naïve in certain situations. Don't let the cutesy exterior fool you though; her Blading skills are no joke, even if she's not the best planner there is, and if she fails at any sort of task, she'll just keep trying until she gets it right.
Aki has a tendency to blabber a lot about all kinds of things, and can be easily distracted by pretty much anything. Despite that, she can be quite focused and patient when doing something really important, and is also considered a fast learner, as seen with her mastering the Sparking Shoot on her fifth try.
Likes: Stars, rainbows, glitter, sparkly stuff, pastel colors (especially blue and pink), strawberry-flavored milk, spicy ramen, fragrant flowers, learning about flowers and space, stargazing, making friends, hanging out with said friends, watching Disney movies, travelling, battling Bladers with various techniques, practicing all sorts of shoot forms.
Dislikes: Documentaries, mean people, trolls, travelling by car, any kind of closed footwear (especially closed flip-flops), cloudy nights.
Relationships:
1- Juudai Akemi: Aki met the Joker Blader at one of her performances in Sapporo, where she volunteered to help her with the last trick. She met her again at a District tournament's semi-finals two years ago, where she barely managed to win the battle, and they instantly hit it off from there, becoming the bestest besties in the history of best friends (okay, maybe that's a bit exaggerated on her part, but Aki still likes to consider her the bestest bestie in the history of best friends).
Quotes:
1- "Hellooooo? Um, hey there, mister or miss spirit-inside-my-Bey. Can you hear me?" -Trying to communicate with Astrea after hearing that the key to becoming a better Blader is to listen to the spirit inside of it.
2- "Don't underestimate me just because I'm small, or you'll be seeing stars!" -One of Aki's catchphrases that she frequently uses when people comment on her shorter-than-average height.
Beys:
1- Stellar Astrea 6Star Quint Retsu: Aki's very first Bey, which she made on her own after watching a guide and trying to perfect the design 65 times. She used this Bey in casual play and District tournaments, then decided to evolve it when she heard of the new system and Rankings.
2- Radiant Astrea Quint Metal 6A: Aki's second Bey, the Sparking evolution of Stellar Astrea which she used in many tournaments, including the Blader Brawl between several A-Rank Bladers.
3- Stardust Astrea Bond Quint' -3: Aki's current Bey, the evolution of Radiant Astrea that she made with some help from her friend (and a teeny tiny bit of inspiration from the veeery first Dynamite Bey).
Bey Parts & Details - Stardust Astrea Bond Quint' -3 (Left-Spin Attack type):
Dynamite Core - Astrea: Astrea is a Left-spinning Dynamite Core with a six-petal flower motif to represent its namesake; Astraea, the Greek virgin goddess of justice, innocence, purity and precision. The outer Ring of the Core is a translucent ice blue, the flower shape is pink, and the Core features three tall teeth.
Blade - Stardust: Stardust is a Left-spinning Blade that features six blades sloping slightly upwards as the contact points, three of which are bigger and made of rubber to increase recoil and by proxy, Attack potential. The Blade also features metal on the smaller three blades, which increases its weight and therefore grants it better resistance to the recoil resulting from the opponent's and its own attacks. The Blade's base color is light blue with glittery silver details, the rubber is pink and the metal is silver.
Armor - 3: 3 is an Armor with a smooth circular perimeter, and 3 sloped protrusions coming out of each of its sides. The Armor is silver, and the protrusions are painted blue.
Forge Disc - Bond: Bond is a Forge Disc that supports both the Low and High Modes of Dynamite Beys. It is symmetrical in shape, with each side featuring three large protrusions similar to those of 10, but they're all bonded together with a metallic ring that passes through them. The protrusions on the Disc give it high Outward Weight Distribution (OWD) which improves Stamina, and its somewhat heavy weight aids in Attack combinations. It is a solid silver color.
Driver - Quint': Quint' is an Attack-type Driver sitting slightly lower than the standard height and featuring a rubber flat tip with six spikes protruding outwards and to the right, akin to Jolt. Due to its lower height, Quint' grants its combination destabilization and Upper Attack potential, and the Driver's speed is also comparable to that of Evolution' or Xtreme' due to the somewhat soft rubber it uses. Like other Dash Drivers, Quint' has a red spring pad and tighter spring lock, which increases its Burst Resistance. The Driver is translucent pink, and the rubber is dark blue.
Special Moves:
1- Shining Flurry: Astrea's blades light up before unleashing a quick barrage of attack on the opponent without giving it any chance to respond, which usually ends up destabilizing the other Bey.
2- Stardust Flash: Astrea speeds along the stadium and builds up momentum, then collides with the opponent head-on, repeatedly striking it with the rubber blades for an explosive attack that usually ends up knocking out or Bursting the other Bey. However, on the off chance that it fails, Astrea recieves a part of the recoil and becomes vulnerable to attacks for a few seconds.
3- Shining Quint Charge: Using the rubber of its Quint' Driver, Astrea shoots away so fast it becomes nearly invisible for a split second, before reappearing behind its opponent and crashing into it full-on.
4- Stardust Upper: Astrea strikes the opponent from below, dealing severe damage that usually Bursts the opponent Bey. The impact is even more powerful in Low Mode.
Launch Technique: Aki has no particular shoot form, as she keeps switching between one and another and creating new forms all the time, but it's noted that she uses her right hand despite owning a Left-Spin Bey.
Trivia:
1- Aki has a small garden at her grandparents' house, where she grows various types of flowers, and every flower has a special nickname. Her favorite is Flowey, a small Venus Flytrap which was the very first plant she'd grown.
2- Aki's pretty insistent on everyone using the shortened version of her name because she thinks the full one is a mouthful, since quote unquote "What kind of person would name their kid Akiharu when they can just call her Aki and save themselves a full second of pronunciation?"
