Avani

Avani, referred to by her friends as Kyu, is a quiet, but caring girl who enjoys being with her friends. She cares deeply for the environment, and doesn't approve of sport killing and hunting, or the desecration of the land.

She finds herself often wondering why the world has become so forgetting of the bounty of nature, and hopes (secretly) to revert the leading perpetrators in Nature's destruction to an post-agrarianist society.

She also has a strange delusion in her head, claiming to be the incarnation of nature. Nobody outside of her crew takes her seriously because of this, with many mocks and jeers brought upon her when she tries to talk about it with most.

## Appearance

The first thing one would notice about Avani is her hair. It appears blue, with intricate green shapes that almost appear to be landmasses spread throughout it. Sometimes, these green masses shift and disappear, though quite slowly.

It's as if a world were intertwined with her hair...

She also has light blue-green eyes, though this marks the end of what might seem remarkable of her on sight, appearing from neck below to be a normal human.

## Personality

Avani is quite conscientious of how she comes off to others, around strangers often putting on a psychological 'mask' as to hide her true feelings. When doing such, she is very quiet, and generally tends to just move along listlessly with the will of the room rather than actively contribute to what's being discussed or worked on.

Around those she trusts, or when a topic of interest to her is brought up she changes drastically. Depending on brought about her shift changes how her attitude may be, though with friends she is often seen wearing a warm smile, and a laugh that fills the air with a happy aura.

On the other hand, there are some occasions in which she becomes quite hostile. These almost unanimously have to do with the destruction or desecration of nature. Be it through pollution of the land, sea, or sky. Be it excessive logging, or perhaps sport hunting without a helping guise, these actions will bring about her wrath.

First she will ask politely, though with a harsh tone. If unabated, her hair is often seen to rustle as if it shook in a strong wind, even if none were present at the time. Further ignorance will lead to her direct intervention, though the severity of the 'misdemeanor' affects the intensity of the reaction Avani will assume thereafter.

## Relationships

Avani tries to be friendly to strangers, but is incredibly shy in normal scenarios, often freezing up due to anxiety when in prolonged conversation. She gives off an aura that makes people feel inclined to protect her, though it's not as if it's one her powers to make it so. She just comes off as precious to the eyes of many, no one can really explain why it feels this way, though.

While she herself may not consider all too many people to be her friends, there are a lot of people who would consider her someone who they would help were she to ask it of them. It was because of her incredible likeability that she almost became the captain of the Celestial Pirates by popular vote of those who would join the crew, in fact winning the vote 4-3. However she deferred to him, stating that she didn't want to act as the leader of the group. Because of this near-miss though, while all of the voices of the crew members are heard clearly, hers speaks some volumes more than the others when it comes to decision-making and planning.

On an unnamed island, there is a group of voluntary anarcho-primitivists who worship her as a god.

Vynai Venus - Avani and Venus often find themselves paired together on missions, and the relationship between the two is very relaxed, their personalities getting along synergistically, and even their combat styles going well together if a time comes for it. Avani herself doesn't like entering conflict of any sort as a tendency, though Venus is very good at persuading Avani to do things. Venus doesn't take advantage of this, rather only guiding Avani to make confident decisions, but this helps the two get through mental obstacles just as easily as physical ones.

Saturn Rezka - Initially, when Rezka had proposed to create the nation of Svarga anew with a priority on science and technology, Avani was hesitant to agree, thinking that it could become a destructive force both to man and nature alike. However, she has been pleasantly impressed by how Rezka went about the ordeal, and even helped him design the outline of the nation to be ecologically friendly, as well as self-sustainable in the case of prolonged isolation, which ended up being a good measure.

Buff D. Hero - Avani and Hero have nearly opposite temperaments, though sometimes the two sit together in a 'knowing' silence, as if they can read each others' thoughts and are simply content being with each other. They work very well together, and their relationship is perhaps Avani's only relationship (when the two are alone) where Avani's personality comes out into being more extroverted, with the two sometimes seen laughing and playing together.

Crimson Regalia - Regalia enjoys spending time with Avani, and while initially it was overbearing for Avani, especially due to the constant social interaction, she has developed a mutual feeling with it. The two, while their personalities are worlds apart, seem to share very similar morals. Regalia has additionally vowed to aid Avani in her quest of cleansing the toxicity that has plagued nature, though this claim was left rather ambiguous.

Pyta Ceres - As Ceres is her primary mode of transport, Avani has had many conversations and interactions with Ceres. She finds Ceres to be cute, and tries to always laugh and be be supportive of what Ceres does. Aside from this, the two have additionally conquered more than a few puzzles and tricks together on the Highway, and have a mutual respect for each others' cognitive capabilities.

## Abilities & Powers

**Whisper of the Woods:**

Avani has the uncanny ability of befriending wildlife of all kinds, often accompanied by familiars of all sizes, ranging from spiders, to dogs, to whales, to fish. Animals seem to be naturally drawn to her, and are easily tamed and befriended if an effort is given. Of course, some animals with more tenacious ferocity will take longer to tame, or will be more aggressive towards Avani compared to most animals which remain passive, though even these raging beasts can be quelled by her compassionate aura. She seems to be able to gauge the thoughts of many types of animals, though this grows harder the farther they are in the evolutionary tree from humans, and it seems that they can likewise understand her as well. Her interactions can sometimes come off as forceful when it comes to more rowdy creatures, and she becomes noticeably happy, sometimes ecstatic, when she's able to interact with animals in any capacity.

She is often also seen talking to and nurturing plants, though it is much harder to gauge whether her actions hold any significance outside of simply talking by herself, though it has been seen that fields tended to by Avani boast yields many times greater, and of higher quality, than those not.

**Remember to Recycle!:**

Avani, with the power of her devil fruit, finds herself able to recycle substances as well as rapidly decay substances by decreasing their half-lives exponentially. She has found herself in a position to become the ultimate recycler, and takes this job very seriously. Any stray litter, anywhere, will be picked up by Avani and broken down into elements, which she can store within herself, though only to a certain capacity. Regardless, she becomes incredibly pushy when it comes to cleaning the environment and recycling or breaking down trash. While not the primary drive to why she does this, which is simply because she wishes for the land and sea to be free of 'desecration,' doing this also inadvertently makes her potential strength and endurance greater, as it reduces the disparity of a scenery from it's natural state. Sometimes she organizes "cleaning events," where Avani will pay groups of people to help her clean up litter from beaches, parks, etc.

**That's a Tell:**

Avani is very good at reading a person's intentions. While not to the extent of reading their exact thoughts, she can generally get an easy grasp as to their purpose of doing something, being somewhere, as well as if their actions will be either peaceful or destructive. She almost never showcases this ability, usually keeping ehr observations to herself, however her denotative examination of people, alongside her intuition, allows her to get a surprisingly accurate gauge as to others' information even if they haven't shared a single drop with her, or spoken a word about it.

### Physical Prowess

Avani in her base state is above average in her physicality, however her main strengths, and sometimes weaknesses, lie in the terrain that surrounds her as she fights. In lands flourishing in nature, she will become exponentially stronger than as she is in her base state, however in lands plagued and corroded she will become weaker and weaker, sometimes falling to the level of and below that of even an average soldier. Her weakness is more easily reigned in than her strength, though this requires either relocation, or active effort towards area restoration. (Or, alternatively, erosion and decay)

**Speed and Agility**

Avani finds herself easily able to maneuver herself both along the ground and in the air. Using her fruit, she can run faster than normal when on the ground, or cushion and speed up her movements in the air in a fashion often displayed by those with the ability to fly. While she cannot explicitly fly herself, she can maneuver in a fashion that could be considered similar to flying. Avani also has very good agility when in natural environments, able to weave through obstacles without a second thought, and utilizing every feature to her advantage.

**Strength**

**I**n her base state, Avani is strong enough to place dents and holes in brick and concrete walls, though her raw power isn't all to overwhelming. The strongest strength she has displayed thus far was in Oskaraka Temple, where with a single punch she blew a hole through a mountain. This was most likely due to the area being nearly devoid of human influence, thus making her strength many times higher than it would normally be. In an active fight, she doesn't often take the front in a melee, however, tending to move towards a support role instead.

**Endurance**

In her base state, an unarmored Avani would only be able to take a few blows before having to concede a fight. Similarly to her strength, however, if there is flourishing nature her endurance rises dramatically, her body becoming able to tank hits far stronger than before. Additionally, she can attach earth to herself as an extra layer of armor, which itself becomes stronger when attached to her body. Her earthen armor, while makeshift and less refined, can reach levels of durability much higher than even that of Crimson Regalia's on an active battlefield.

### Fighting Style

Avani is a master practitioner of Tendō, having mastered the Comet Style, Malachite Form, and Celestine Form. She is proficient in all three branches of the Malachite Form, and particularly excels in the Seraan Core, which she has adapted to allow her to manipulate some of the moves within the style to affect her allies as well as herself.

Within the Bosai Core, Avani has developed the following technique:

* **Boda Grasshopper:** The user combines the techniques of **Geosurge** and **Bounce**, using the Geosurge as they run on the ground, before jumping up and using bounce once they reconnect with the ground, and as they gain the propulsion from Geosurge, launching them a much farther distance than they normally could reach with either technique alone.

Within the Seraan Core, Avani has developed the following techniques:

* **Sei Cleric:** The user applies the concept of **Sei Mystic**, however instead of healing themselves, they channel the technique into an ally, healing them instead, though at the cost of some of the user's own stamina.
* **Sei Tornado:** The user begins spinning at rapid speeds, whipping up a tornado around them. They can remain within the tornado if they keep spinning with it, though they are otherwise able to leave it's center without causing the tornado to disperse. It will travel in the direction they spun towards, growing in size if there's a lack of obstacles, however staying at a relatively small size if there are obstacles in the way.
* **Sei Nir-Clerica:** The user uses a technique that combined the concepts of **Sei Cleric** and **Graviton Fist**. Rather than swapping the gravitational and weight values of the two targets hit, it will instead swap their current health, immediately either causing restoration to one body at the expense of another's wounds. This technique is more effective the more disparity there is between the two individual parties, and can be used as a trump card if one is crippled against a still-healthy opponent.

Within the Putao Core, Avani has developed the following technique:

* **Po Glockenspiel:** The user wields a Glockenspiel, with there being two potential effects that resonate from it. If the user plays notes on the lower half of the instrument, a slow-moving and expansive soliton bubble will form from the playing and be sent forwards in the direction the Glockenspiel is facing. Upon impact with a biotic material that connects with 51% or more of it's mass, it will implode, dragging all nearby matter into it, before exploding violently afterwards. If the user plays notes on the upper half of the instrument, extremely high-speed soundwaves will be sent in the shape of arrows in the direction the Glockenspiel is facing, each one causing a sense of Vertigo on impact. Vertigo effect will only be damaging to living organisms.

In addition to this, Avani has also become a master of Mitsuori-dō, and has mastered the Spell Art of Fire. In a stark contrast to what one might expect, she chose to make the trek to the last of the four Great Ra Installations, seeking out mastery of the flame. Her current capacity for the art is simply starting a fire as if she were a lighter, however simply starting a fire tends to be enough to spread it.

## Equipment

Avani does not usually wield a weapon, however she sometimes carries a Spellblade Staff made for her by Saturn Rezka personally. It has some of the traits of a Bygoid, being able to converse with relatively high intelligence, however she has not used it thus far, so it's element remains unknown.

She additionally carries with her a Glockenspiel for the sole use of it within one of her techniques.

## Trivia

Avani is based on the recent media waifu, Earth-chan
