Drishti

## Appearance

Drishti wears navy slacks with a white button up shirt and brown leather dress shoes and belt. The has a full torso pistol holster as well, and wears an earpeice in battle. She has shoulder-length loose wavy hair.

## Personality

Around her team, Dee is fairly stone-faced, determined, and a good leader, similar to the way I wrote Saria in the fic. She has a tendency to bottle up her emotions, but usually not to a crazy amount. However, When she's with a smaller group, or with one other person, she is much more open and friendly, but most of the Merc squad probably wouldn't know that since she only effs with the select few people she chooses, main criteria would be non-stressful people. She is a very down to earth person herself.
Some of her flaws would be that she is somewhat remorseless when it comes to past missions, has a tendency to keep emotions to herself, and that she worries a little much about her tough persona/vanity in general.
She does a lot by herself but has enough humility to know when she can't, makes sure not to "use" the mercenary squad bc she knows her place in being giftless. She definitely is humble about her lack of power in the team and in fights, she's not gonna try to flex or anything if it's not needed. She also a little philosophy about learning and growing from past experiences, like the "let them touch the stove instead of warning them" kind of mentality.
 Hobbies will probably be like reading and martial arts, something stress-relieving.
Other little things about the character that doesn't fit on this list: I want her to have a world's best boss coffee mug, her office and living quarters would probably be very messy, and she wouldn't let people into these rooms often, she has a tendency to kick her legs up on her office desk, shed also have a punching bag somewhere on base bc of the hobby boxing.

## Gifts/Equipment

## Background

Drishti was born into a higher-class family in Flagalium. She was above average in all of her classes throughout her education and didn't have much trouble. When she gained more freedom as she moved into higher education, this started to change. She started dropping classes and frequenting parties, When she was 19, she got pregnant from a man named Amael. He was there for the first year or two after their baby Ishani was born, but he left as he didn't tell Drishti that he was on military service at the time. Left with difficult grades and a newborn daughter, she dropped out of college to take care of her. She eventually met some gift users looking for work and started to lead a small protection service. This quickly transformed from a side gig into a full-time job, as the work was very profitable. Drishti spent more time developing and leading the squad, unintentionally leaving Ishani without attention. Ishani ran from home when she was 12, leaving Drishti stressed and upset. Drishti tried to take time off to find her daughter but was quickly overwhelmed again by the work for the mercenary squad. She hasn't been actively looking for Ishani for a few years now.
