Fitting of a woman who has gradually built a wondrous cosmetic and fragrance empire, the seemingly young Francesca Renaldo is certainly not a lass who gives off the appearance of one who has lived a rough life. From the morning she wakes up to the time she goes to bed, every strand of hair to every application of make-up only seems showcases her complete perfection. Nothing about her is ever seen out of place and instances when such occur are quickly corrected with talented use of Photoshop and related editing software.
Despite being born over six hundred years in the past, the woman truly does not look a day over thirty. Her skin is subtle and smooth to the touch with no wrinkle ever in sight. In rare circumstances in which she is seen without foundation, freckles decorate across the bridge of her nose and atop the upper portions of her shoulders. Though often described as cute, it is something she personally wishes she could mend away and be rid of forever. Just why couldn’t her healing mend such impurities?! Hair is naturally a pristine platinum. It is so light that in some shades of the sun, it almost appears white. This is perhaps the only hint towards her true age. The strands are normally straightened chemically and rarely pulled up (unless in a proper up-do of course).
Clothing for the woman tends to be light shades and are always vastly feminine. Lace, ruffles, and flowing fabrics make up the vast majority of her wardrobe. Most of these piece of attire tend to be white in color. To her, it reflects purity and an angelic quality she personally prefers to reflect herself as. Though unashamed of showing her legs, one feature that defines her wardrobe is her preference to never show skin of her torso, bosom, or arms. Even on the hottest days, fabric is always concealing said skin from view. Because of this, her skin stays pale even during the summer time.
The reasoning behind such preference goes far beyond morality. It is due to the fact it is portions of her body that she is the most ashamed of. A result of zanpakuto slashes during her race’s massacre, numerous scars and deep gashes liter over her arms, back, and stomach. Intimate partners that she rarely allows to touch her in such fashion often proclaim they were surprised that she even managed to survive. If it wasn’t for excelled talent in regeneration, she probably wouldn’t be. But alas, not even the best healers can mend all wounds.
PERSONALITY
As if her appearance did not hint towards such a persona, young Esca tends to hold a fairly prim and proper manner of behavior. Her faint lips are always posed into a polite smile while her soft-spoken words are filled with respect and sophistication. She is a woman who has lived life amongst royalty and strives to maintain such poise at all times. Her most memorable times in her six hundred plus years was during the times where chivalry existed and men catered towards a woman’s needs. Even in a modern world, the woman greatly appreciates and expects such behaviors to carry over. She will not sit at a table unless the gentleman has pulled the seat out for her, refuses to walk through an entrance without someone holding the door open respectfully for her, and will scoff with her nose held up high at any occurrence when such act is not upheld.
To the layman, her attitude is viewed as perhaps pompous and self-centered. And such assumptions would be correct. She has become a spoiled brat over the years but has truly worked her ass off in order to build herself up to that point. Her first few years on Earth were some of the roughest times of her life where she was truly unsure whether or not she would be able to eat the following day (or week) and literally was required to beg for coins due to being too weak to work (not that women truly could back in those times). While she pities the poor and looks upon them with sad eyes from those dark days, Esca is rare to approach or even communicate with such “dirty folk,” mostly in fear of their greasy palms permanently ruining whatever light-shaded attire she has on that day.
Though as mindful of filth as possible, the woman realizes that there are circumstances in which one must dirty themselves up to get what they want. Many times over the years has she been taken advantage of due to her soft-spoken nature and beautiful appearance. She has personally spent the last four centuries training and focusing her skills to correct this. As dainty as she might be, she packs quite the punch and holds a great deal of seemingly inhumane levels of strength. In circumstances where she must rely on such, she prefers quick bouts so she can get back to her day. She believes in a two strike method: one to give warning and the other to seal their fate.
HISTORY
Francesca truly can not remember much of her first one hundred years of her life. She, like many of her brethren, was one of the original Bount created by Soul Society in an experiment to produce immortal life. Of these individuals, she was perhaps one of the last created and thus one of the youngest. When the Shinigami made it their agenda to massacre and wipe the race out of existence, she was only comparable to a four year old in age. Fleeing with the two that she called her “parents,” the trio was attacked just as they were about to enter a portal that would take them into the human world. While her father did what he could to hold the shinigami back, his inexperience in battle got the best of them as a sword slashed across her torso and sliced off her mother’s arm.
In a painful scream of both mother and daughter, she was dropped into the portal as unconsciousness took over her. Falling into the human world, covered in her own blood, the young girl was luckily found by an older woman named Meredith who had sensed her presence. While not holding much spiritual gifts of her own accord, Meredith did use all that she could to help stop the bleeding. While she figured that she would have passed during the night, Esca’s innate ability to take in reishi allowed her wounds to eventually close and recover completely in only a month’s time. Though she only had limited knowledge of this new world, Meredith took her survival as a sign from God and would raise her as her own.
Though she originally went under a different name during this time frame, Esca was raised just like an ordinary human girl. Though her regenerative abilities allowed her to mend simple cuts and scratches, her lack of spiritual training made her fit in well over the years. She like many lasses eventually was arranged to marry a man. Like any married couple, they frequently consummated their wedding time and time again. But no matter how many times that they did the deed, no child ever came. The woman could just not get pregnant which frustrated the farmer who needed additional help growing crops.
What had started as verbal harassment began to grow more forceful over the years. He punched, struck her, and raped her as he took out whatever aggression he had out against her. It was all her fault, he said. She had cursed his family and ruined him. Eventually, Esca had enough. Unable to take any more, she attacked him while he slept. Using a mallet as a weapon, she assaulted and kept swinging until his body went lifeless and he stopped moving. Crying out in bliss that she was finally free from his vile ways, her heart nearly stopped as she saw his ghostly body gradually raising up from his corpse. Due to her innate spiritualism, the ghost was able to attack her just like before. Due to him being stronger, he eventually pinned her to a wall. Leaning in to get one last kiss before he killed her, he froze and shivered.
Once his lips met her own, an innate ability of her race awakened as she began to thirstily feast upon his soul. Though completely aware of what was happening, she couldn’t stop herself as she felt her ghostly husband begin to liquify as she drank his very essence. After consuming him, not even leaving behind a drop, she felt empowered and unlike anything else she had ever experienced before. Once she had cleaned herself up and fled the home forever, she darted back to find tell her mother knowing that maybe she might know what was going on.
But of course her luck wasn’t the best. She found Meredith as a decomposing corpse laying on the ground as if she had fallen while trying to climb to sleep in her loft. But like her husband, there the woman stood as a ghostly apparition. She explained everything she could to Esca and the limited knowledge that she had of the spiritual realm. The woman theorized that Esca may just be from such a place. She had always been different and as a final offering from adoptive mother to adoptive daughter, she allowed the girl to absorb her just like she absorbed her husband.
The next few centuries were ones filled with discovery about who and what she is. She traveled the land in search of a race of people she called Bount. Finding a colony in what would eventually become Germany, they taught her how to materialize a doll, and learn how to use it. They also taught her of their history and the threats that they would enterally fear. Shinigami, Quincy, Hollow: all of them could hold the power and desire to eradicate them from the world. Though stronger as a group, Esca decided to go on her own and spent her days training and refining herself.
She developed countless aliases over the years. She was a perfume maker in France, a bride to a Nobleman in Russia, and a wedding dress designer in Berlin. These lives accounted a vast amount of income that the woman currently used to create her own cosmetic and fragrance line. In the last hundred years, her product has spread around the world and is in most shops where such products are sold. Currently, she is the “daughter” of the founder and is living up the experience of her wealth before she must retire and find a new alias to prevent her discovery.
TAI
CORE
[B]TEKKEN[/b] - [i]emilie de rochefort[/i] – @itstai
Description: After first focusing her Reiryoku outwards and encasing it around the intended target within a 10 meter radius of herself, Esca will activate said energy to create an attractive force in between them. This action causes the energy to pull the target closer to the user or vice versa. While this may be used to quickly grab an object within its range, the technique’s true power comes in close quarter’s combat. This allows Esca to practically stay on their tail (by the attractive force between them) or to pull an opponent closer to an attack so that they becomes easier to hit. This attraction is best used as a surprise to catch foes off guard, but once discovered, it may be resisted should foes hold a higher advantage.
Name: Repel
Class: Soul Absorption
Tier: II
Type: Supplementary, Defensive
Range: 0m-10m
Description: After first focusing her Reiryoku outwards and encasing it around the intended target within a 10 meter radius of herself, Esca will activate said energy to create a repulsive forced between them. This action causes the energy to push the target away. A much more defensive skill than “attract,” this technique is best used to force space between the user and intended target and makes close range techniques far more difficult to land and easier to dodge. This repulsion is best used as a surprise to catch foes off guard, but once discovered, it may be resisted should foes hold a higher advantage.
Name: Decimation
Class: Fighting Style
Tier: N/A
Type: Passive
Range: Self
Description: While not schooled in any classical form of marital art, Esca’s trials and tribulations over the years have given birth to an unique style of her own. It is a very reactive martial art that focuses on staying alert to respond to enemy movements in order to find an opening to secure a hit. As a personal belief, the woman does not like long battles that bring both parties panting with exhaustion. She instead prefers quick bouts where one or two strikes is all that is needed to secure a battle’s victory. For this reason, intimidation is a strong component of the style’s effectiveness.
By creating the illusion of inhuman strength through the combination of Soul Absorption techniques with those of Hand-To-Hand, the woman does her best to crush a foe’s hopes and dreams by cratering the environment around her and obliterating defenses with a single strike. This is done by using techniques that weaken natural defenses with reiryoku before physically hitting the target directly afterward. This essentially makes every technique have two hits: the energy strike followed by the actual attack.
Name: Awareness
Class: Hand-To-Hand
Tier: I
Type: Passive
Range: Self
Description: Always on the alert, Esca has purposely trained herself to keep herself aware of everything in her surroundings at all times. Her ears listen for subtle unnatural ruffles in the environment, her eyes notice minute changes in the movement of shadows, and her body is always at a ready to shift for what might be coming next. In battle, this reactive nature gives the woman a better capability to put forth the proper motions to respond to actions her opponent’s make and grants her a higher chance of avoiding or parrying an attack if possible in doing so. While dodging or responding to an attack, Esca will move at x2 speed.
Name: Crush
Class: Hand-to-Hand
Tier: III
Type: Offensive
Range: Close
Description: A technique that causes the illusion of enhanced strength, “Crush” is a move that does just that: crushes things. Beginning by flowing reiryoku into portion of the body used to attack, the user will attempt to strike the intended target. With a burst of released energy, the user will snap through the natural defenses and crush any bone, tendon, or joint with their strength alone as long as the user holds greater advantage. The greater the advantage, the more devastating this technique becomes. In the instance that the user is of a lower advantage, the technique will of course fail.
ITEMS
N/A
REIATSU FEATURES
Esca's reiatsu holds a slight pink hue to it. Due to the nature of her doll, it often carries the fragrance of fresh flowers.
While sealed, Fleurette takes the form of a beautiful pink flower broach. Very realistic in design, most are fooled to believe it is an actual flower until they get up close. The woman tends to have it pinned to her attire at all times depending on her outfit. Normally though, it is pinned to a ribbon that she wears around her neck.
DOLL PERSONALITY
Fleurette is a very kindhearted and carefree doll. While she loves her bount and does everything in her power to make sure she is happy, she has a certain issue with realizing whether things are serious or not. Often, whenever she is summoned, she spends most of her time navigating around the environment to find other flowers to smell or find something pretty to associate herself with. Usually a little scolding is enough to correct this and shift her focus towards more important matters. Generally speaking, Fleurette does not like to fight. She hates violence and does not like to see people hurt. She will only do so if it situations begin to turn dire and her master (and thusly her life) are put at risk.
Fleurette is a doll that is very fitting of her name. Literally translating to “little flower,” she is a pixie that only stands a diminutive five inches tall. Holding the ability to manipulate and grow various flora, it is not surprising that most of her appearance is of such a theme. As if she was a plant herself, the little fae has vines for hair, leaf-like wings emerging from her back, and flower-based apparel that covers her juvenile-like body. For the most part, she is humanoid but close examination of her eyes give her an almost insect like quality. This is due to the fact they are segmented like a bugs and cover up a good third of her head’s size. Oddly enough for a girl who loves to smell flowers, she seemingly does not have a nose.
DOLL ABILITIES
Name: Rose Garden Class: Doll Manifestation Tier: II~IV Type: Supplementary Range: 0m-50m Description: Fleurette holds a natural ability to quickly grow and mature any flowering plant within her knowledge upon any surface within a limited range. This may be used to simply grow a flower to show her appreciation to someone or to give birth to large thorny-vines to rip and ensnare an opponent. While this power is quite handy, the constant movement of enemies prevents the doll from growing plants directly on targets. However, this may be avoided by making direct contact with them. As these plants are considered an extension of her own spiritual energy, she freely is capable of manipulating them.
Depending on the tier of this technique, the plants hold varying levels of strength and size. At Tier II, the plants can only be a couple inches thick but may move at bala-like speeds. At Tier III, the plants hold more versatility but only travel at half the speed of a bala. At Tier IV, the plants may be incredibly large and complex in their usage but only move at the speed of a cero. If using this level of technique, Fleurette may only control one plant in particular for a duration of three posts. She may not control them again until six posts have passed.
Name: Flower of Enhancement Class: Doll Manifestation Tier: III, IV Type: Supplementary, Healing Range: 0m-20m Description: By actively focusing her Reiryoku on a target within a range of twenty meters of herself or applied through direct physical contact, Fleurette will grow a flower right over a target’s soul sleep. While on their person, the intended target will gain +2 increase in their speed and strength. This effect lasts up to a total of ten posts before the flower will simply fall off, wither, and then die; or when the flower is removed through alternative means. By forgoing said boosts, Fleurette can cause the flowers to instead direct towards regenerative qualities. This action heals those in quality of a Above Average healing mastery. This will then cause the flower to fall off and grant the technique a cooldown for the length in time in which the flower was upon the target until healed (i.e., if a character had a flower on for five posts and was healed on post 6, this technique would have a six post cool down).
Name: Flower Cannon Class: Doll Manifestation Tier: II~IV Type: Offensive, Projectile Range: 0m-25m Description: Using the flowers around her wrists or any flowers that she has grown as catalysts, Fleurette will focus her reiryoku through them to release varying scale spherical projectiles from them. The less energy placed into the technique, the faster but weaker they are where as more energy will create a slower but far more powerful blast: Tier II moves at Bala-like speeds, Tier III moves at Half-Bala Speeds, and Tier IV moves at Cero speeds.
Name: Growth Class: Doll Manifestation Tier: II Type: Passive Range: Self Description: When summoned, Fleurette is quite true to her name. She is a very small, pixie-like doll that can easily fit in your hand. This action makes her naturally quite nimble and quick, allowing her to move about the battlefield at x3 speed. However, one of her most hidden powers comes from the fact she can grow to the size of her Bount at Bala-like speeds. This allows her to fight on a more equal playing field, trading in her speed for x3 strength instead. This switch requires a 1 post cool down before being able to be performed again.
