Kuri

Kuri is one of the two foreign members of the Azure Stars guild, and the eighth member to join after participating in the tournament during Arc 2 where she fought on Raethis Des Toridae's behalf. She is one of the wielders of the mythril weapons and adopted daughter of the Warrior Supreme of Lanexi. Training in Kaezji Temple since an early age, she was sent to Des Toridae as a "gift" to show the goodwill of the Lanexian authority.

## Appearance

**Kuri** has typical Lanexi features; black hair, dark brown eyes and tan skin. She is shorter than everyone in the guild bar Andrea, but somewhat tall for a woman. She has a petite but slightly curvaceous figure, having a more ample chest than Andrea, but less than Kotori. She is described as pretty and elegant, though this is offset a little by her highly energetic and tomboyish personality. Generally, she ties her hair up in a ponytail.

Her clothing seemingly never changes; always wearing the same green and gold colours that represent Lanexi (other than once during the party in **Arc 6**), and usually wearing Lanexian robes in her day-to-day life. She wears slightly different combat robes for battle, and while they are quite loose, give her a high degree of mobility.

## Personality

By far the most energetic and hard-working person in the entire guild. She has dedicated her entire life to being an excellent warrior, and her personality reflects that. However, she is well aware of the responsibilities that come with her power, and what  she values more than anything else is freedom. That is why she was very glad to get to leave Kazeji Temple, and even more excited when the opportunity to leave the service of the Des Toridae arose.

However, overall she hates being restricted by any rules, and will often work in defiance. She is also a pacifist and will do what it takes to restore peace if it were in her hands, but is also very loyal to her country. She likes to joke around a lot and all of her smiles are genuine, making her very laid-back and calm to the point of not seeming serious.

Her love of swordsmanship and duels is always evident, and she relishes a challenge. Within Kazeji Temple, it was only training with no real foes, so she relished the challenges of being an adventurer, and has ended up being a very proficient and powerful one, being at least the second best combatant of the guild.

It seems sometimes that at least part of it is forced cheeriness just to keep the others relaxed, as she feels it is what any good leader would do. She places a very high value in trusting comrades-in-arms, and is very shocked and angry at Findaris' revelation in **Arc 6,** forming a mistrust of him even though he is the guild leader. This mistrust is hinted at possibly leading to direr consequences in the future, as she seems to extend this mistrust towards Terrasia's nobility as a whole.

She likes **swordsmanship, freedom** and **Lanexi-fish soup.**

She dislikes **inequality** and **restrictiveness.**

## Equipment

**Lanexian combat robes:** Traditional combat robes worn by the best Lanexi warriors, providing little protection but high mobility. "You don't need armour if you won't get hit".

**Twin Blades of Ganryu:** Once wielded by an ancient Warrior Supreme of Lanexi, these were recovered by Findaris and given to Kuri. Their powers are not fully known but they seem to be able to cut through air itself to create vacuums and Kuri has used this to create many skills. Their cutting prowess is said to be unrivalled. The blades are cursed, but the curse is unknown.

## Abilities

**Kuri** is likely the strongest combatant of the guild after Findaris; boasting above-average strength and endurance with maxed out agility. She also has high luck to further aid her, and has developed eight unique sword-skills using the unique properties of her twin blades. Her prowess was shown when she slaughtered a rhino-bear, and again when she took down Sean, Andrea and Lediga despite their combined and concentrated efforts and a solid plan. Findaris believes her sword skills to be superior to even his own.

**Dual Wield**

**Xicu**

**Zeku**

**Rikku**

**Puransi**
