***Item #:*** [DATA EXPUNGED]

***Object Class:*** [DATA EXPUNGED]

***Description:*** Human originating from the West, a Mercenary of the Fields of Asphodel. Obscures true facts with her rather odd personality. Has control over biological matter. Please approach with caution.

* **Physical:** While looking like a human female of early-twenties age in a snazzy red coat and well-worn pith helmet, subject is most definitely not a human female of early-twenties age. The red coat and pith helmet are real, though. Somewhat. She makes them herself. Well-trimmed short golden hair, kept short in a somewhat-bob in order to prevent opponents from using it as a handhold. Though it may not seem like it due to her slender build, subject is extremely muscular underneath that coat, with sinewy limbs and lithe features. One might be bewildered in discovering that she always wears pants. Khakis, a dark brown, with knee-high leather cavalry boots to match.
* **Personality:** Rather confident and prideful of her own abilities, Wellington craves the excitement and honor of the battlefield. Easily pleased by morbid jokes, she is one to love marching songs and camaraderie between fellow individuals at war. One rarely sees her in a state where she is not happily tearing apart some poor being's guts and assimilating them to bolster her cellular supply. Yet despite her inner warmongering nature, she's quite the intrepid tactician and businessman, treating the trade of tea as equivalent to war- except instead of shells, she deals in coin. Keen to experiment with wondrous concoctions of unique enhancements for all bodily functions, it is her own search for the perfect tea in the midst of a perfect war that leads to her glee in the face of a challenge, be it in the mind or in the flesh.
* **Background:** Originally a human who had travelled from the west to the east in hopes of conquest and treasure, Wellington undertook the long journey to Gensokyo through signing a contract with an entity during a losing battle against the desperate youkai of those times. Knowing the enemy had nothing to lose, and that she had everything to lose, she sought power to overcome her own doubts. Something deep and ancient had answered her during that era, allowing her to get stronger off every opponent slain during the eventual climax of the battle, on a field that overlooked the sea. Curious to find out what had saved her from the talons of the youkai, she set off as an explorer, searching for the presence and eventually finding Gensokyo. Some say that she had made a pact with Death itself, others say that she is one with Death, undying as her body would replenish itself with the bodies of the fallen. Yet, the truth is one far more complex than the rumors that have since passed around, and those closer to the truth believe that her tea is indeed quite unique, something completely out of this world, forged and created from an unknown recipe. What we do know, however, is that she may be under the employ of a yet unknown entity.

Most people reach a consensus that she can control the very elements of life itself. Ironic, for one so surrounded in death.

**SKILLS/POWERS:**

* She is able to create any material thing out of organic material, provided that she can think of it.
* She is able to quickly, but not instantaneously regenerate from any wound or ailment, provided she has enough cellular material to do so.
* Cells are required to create the aforementioned material. In order to obtain cells, one must absorb organic material from the area around them. Sentient entities, such as humans, animals, and other lifeforms require physical contact in order to be "assimilated" as cellular material due to their spiritual composition.
* Basic organic elements and compounds may also be absorbed to cure wounds when absolutely necessary, but will cause a considerable drain in her stamina. Overdose of pure carbon, for example, will result in her regeneration to be slowed, and her sanity/mental coherence to be lowered significantly. Perhaps it is due to an agreement with a certain individual.
* However, she is able to create a variety of projectiles based on the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, and Sulfur. In doing so, she is, for example, able to create devastating amounts of white phosphorous to burn the opponent or create a smokescreen, or organic high-explosives to destroy the target from range. She calls these projectiles "shells" of varying type.
* In danmaku, projectiles are different from what they seem like in real life. "white phosphorous" itself is shown through a extremely dense spread of close-knit, slowly-falling white particles that obscure the location of the user. Each projectile creates a trail behind it, which results in quite a dense "cloud" of the material that burns the retinas. Likewise, high explosive projectiles are small projectiles that home in on the target, leaving a trail of smaller projectiles, that suddenly expand into a massive sphere of red very quickly upon reaching a close proximity to the user, releasing smaller projectiles in all directions in a dense spread of small projectiles. It simulates a real explosion, yet some may confuse it for fireworks during a festival.
* Her superhuman strength is an ability that cannot be underestimated or understated. Being perfection of the organic body, she has immense strength, and is able to punch at extremely high speeds. Her preferred method of combat is hand-to-hand for that very reason- to give the opponent a taste of the explosive power of her fists. One known example is her being able to lift a super-heavy tank with a single hand and hurl it at her opponent at supersonic speeds. She's one individual that you don't want to arm-wrestle with, which should be obvious if you see her arms.
* It is said that Wellington is to Tea as an Oni is to Sake. Yet, it is also said that focused, armor-piercing multi-person attacks are to Wellington as soybeans are to Oni. To each their own, one may guess. She is certainly not a fan of those who underestimate her fighting spirit or use dishonorable methods to attack her.

**KNOWN** **WEAKNESSES:**

Though her firepower in ranged and hand-to-hand combat is unparalleled in human capability, one must remember that for the present moment, she is still somewhat human and is about as durable as a Olympian athlete (Not very physically durable by Youkai terms). Despite her regeneration and her tendency to use armored constructs to minimize her weakness, removing all cellular material from the area would severely hamper her strength and ability to continue fighting. Focused, ranged fire is able to take out her tank relatively quickly, and that would leave her unarmored to attack. In addition, she is unable to fly by default, and would have to use cellular compounds to construct wings in order to fly. Without cells, she is quickly rendered combat-ineffective.

In tactical terms, one must recognize that there is a gap in range between pure hand-to-hand CQC and the ranges in which her artillery barrages would be relatively accurate and effective. Within medium ranges, the artillery is unable to target an individual who rapidly changes direction accurately.

As for her attacks, one must realize that despite the enormous amount of firepower and the density of the projectiles of shrapnel and white phosphorous, it takes a certain amount of attention not to be caged in by sheer numbers. That would result in checkmate. However, if one is able to cut a path through the dense swath of projectiles, one can reach the center quite quickly. When she realizes and tries to counter by focusing her fire, one would realize that it leaves that much more space to toy around with and evade.

**Other:**

* Current flavors of tea include Drunken Fist, Dyna-Might, Empress's Endeavor, Reimu Red, Furious Flow, and more. Each is sold for a reasonable price in the human village.
* She is totally not associated with the Secret Historical Association. Totally. As in, she totally doesn't do side jobs for them at times. Definitely.
* She cheats at Battleship. Mostly because in her version, they're real battleships, firing real guns.
* Despite her claims of her fists having explosive power, these quotations are unfounded. The one time she did infuse her fists with PETN, there apparently was only one witness who survived the blast, and it was the town drunkard. So, the claim has to be taken with a grain of salt.
* The 2016 Bi-Annual Tank Derby Champion. Although frankly speaking, it's nothing really big because the only other people with tanks are Rika and Nitori. She still puts the trophy on the front desk of the teahouse, though.
* Some say that she fixed up the Esoteria Grande Hotel for nefarious purposes. However, conclusions cannot be drawn because there are curtains on all the windows, and it seems that men seem to be the main customers. One man, a Dr. Raymond Cockswain, claims that it's the best night he's had in Gensokyo. Another, a Hikozaemon, confirms that Gensokyo's women are the best in the world. Still doesn't stop Wellington from wearing that plume in her pith helmet and that 24k gold dollar-sign necklace, though.
* Gives out free tea samples every Saturday. Eirin seems ambivalent about this, because though it makes her life a lot harder, it makes the money come in like nothing else ever would. Perhaps Wellington and Eirin have a contract somewhere under the table.
