AAAU - Sally Shield

**Sally Shield** is one of the primary characters in the AU Arcadia Academia.

## Appearance

### Body

Sally is a 17 year old female who is approximately 5'7 in height. Through her passion for fitness she has a fairly muscular physique. Due to her abilities and dedication she is a very physically strong character. However, Sally's posture is often crooked especially when focused on a task. She has light brown eyes and pale skin. When Sally smiles she gets deep dimples either side of her mouth.

### Clothing

Usually, Sally will wear baggy jeans with a white tank top. On cold days she will often wear a matching navy tank top under a loose button up; which she leaves open. While working out Sally will wear a cropped vest with baggy shorts. On these workout days her makeup is especially minimal even compared to her usual natural routine. She has one pair of well used white trainers.

## Personality

Sally is a very open and easy going person. She finds it easy to laugh in any situation and does not struggle in social situations. She loves meeting new people who match her humour. However, there is also a deeper side to this as Sally has always needed validation from peers ever since she was a child. Although she herself does not realise, this is caused by a lack of attention from her parents. Therefore, if Sally lacks friendships or experiences fights she will regress to a childlike state of anxiety. On top of this she also struggles with taking care of herself as a young adult. This is a trait inherited from her mother and often impacts her daily life. Overall, Sally is extremely confident when in her element but when made uncomfortable she will unknowingly isolate herself.

## Background

### Childhood

Sally's parents were unmarried when she was born. They lived in rural Scotland and had only been together for a year before Sally. Her early years were predominantly spent alone but she lived comfortably because both her parents worked hard. However once she was 3 years old both her mum and dad agreed to end their relationship and instead raise Sally as friends: the problem was that they became friends who hated each other's existence. However, they would often take it in turns to take Sally to her favourite playground. Sally enjoyed this until one unfortunate day with her father when she was stuck in a slide; and now she is deathly afraid of playgrounds.

### Teenage years

On Sally's 13th birthday her mother did not come home from work. For a year her mother was completely missing which sparked a close relationship to her father. Sally's mother was never found and was assumed dead. After this Sally spent her time in a local school, working in a post office, boxing and staying at home alone.

## Abilities

As a human, Sally harnesses the ability of enhanced strength through deep emotion. This means that as her power can vary depending on how much she cares about her action and who she is fighting. Due to the lack of training, Sally cannot control this easily and often breaks things without meaning too. She also has a pair of brass knuckles inherited from her mother. She does not use them often but it is her weapon of choice.

## Trivia

* Sally cannot cook but still has a kitchen. She does not remember having the kitchen installed.
* Sally has a secret diary full of plans for what she sees as her future. She started this when she was 14 and living in Scotland. It contains wedding plans, children's names, a career plan and more. She would never admit this to anyone.
* Sally is completely blind in her left eye due to a battle with Cam. The eye is now a milky mess of many colours.
