Viola

## Appearance

Viola is a rather tall female standing at around 6’0. Being a part of the Tulan race has three sharp and majestic vermillion eyes, along with limestone skin. She has mid thigh length dark, plum-colored hair with blunt bangs that cover some of her third eye. Speaking of her third eye, which is on her forehead, she says that she is almost blind in that eye as the result of an unknown injury. She wears a white sweat jacket with a hood and black leggings along with black dirty combat boots. Under her jacket is a black tank top. She is curvy but athletically built with well-defined muscles. Her hair changes from let down to ponytail to bun almost everyday and on different occasions, such as playing with evergreen, she might have styles like pigtails or a braid.

When relaxing we have seen Viola wearing black sweatpants or gray shorts with tank tops of varying color. When wearing the shorts and tank top she shows much more skin which allows us to see many of her scars she got when she was younger. These include bullet, sword, explosion, burn, and poison wounds along with several bruises.

At the tank when swimming she wears a plain gray one piece swimsuit with a halter neck design. She also wore a sun hat and a red to purple silk robe with sand colored sandles that have red straps.

At the...gala Viola wore a black halter neck with a pencil skirt bottom. This dress has long sleeves and a slit where her chest is. She wears a white suit jacket over her shoulders when not cold and she wears it regularly when cold. She can't really walk in heels so she wore her combat boots but she cleaned them up and had them shined. She has shorts underneath as she refused to wear a dress without them. Her hair was up in a braided bun and some scars on her legs were visible.

## Personality

For the most part, she is a level-headed, strong-willed, and serious woman that comes off as intimidating to most. Viola normally maintains a controlled, almost emotionless persona to keep whatever she’s thinking a secret, unless she is around people she absolutely trusts. She can be calculating, cold, and very perceptive, able to notice and realize things that most can't. Though a solemn assassin, Viola is by no means stuffy and has a sarcastic sense of humor, which mostly surfaces when she is with her friends. She is neither impolite nor an antisocial person and likes to be a part of the conversation and to drink with friends. When happy she is much more expressive and talkative, usually sporting a soft smile. Don’t mistake this as her being off guard, as she never really is.

Viola is also very perceptive, something she demonstrates by providing important and logical decisions at critical times and by evaluating the situation from an objective point of view. Given her experiences in life Viola is very untrusting of others and often expects the worst, despite not often showing that on the outside.

Despite being one of the more level headed of the group she often bickers with Marty like siblings which includes hitting each other. They often compete with each other and Marty is one of the few people who can bring out Viola's competitive nature. Despite their differences, they know they can rely on each other to have each other's backs. In fact, the two fighters understand each other better than other family members usually going off together or being paired together.

## History

As a child she was born to a slave along with her crippled sister. Her life was a living hell, she was beaten, violated, etc terrible things every day. She was able to stay alive thanks to her sister, Jasmine. She and Jasmine made a plan to escape. Their plan unfortunately failed as a girl named Ellis who hated the both of them greatly alerted others to their plan. Being chased, Jasmine knew she was dead weight and told her they should split up, viola, not knowing what was going through her sister's mind, agreed. Before Jasmine could completely say goodbye to viola she was killed by a thrown ax in her head. Viola, now in tears, continued running and managed to escape remembering her sister’s final words. Life was harsh and she survived by joining an assassin group that noticed her exceptional ability using rakt. She did this until the group was disbanded. A few months later she was ambushed by a group of mercenaries hired by families of people she had killed. She killed all of them with great ease. When I saw her, she had blood all over her, looked at me, and said “I need a vacation huh?”. I agreed, she stood up, took a deep breath and walked away. I talked to her for a few more hours and eventually gave her the coordinates of hobblegrunt and said if she really needed a vacation she could come over anytime. A few months after this she visited and really hit it off with Kirumi and me. During a conversation Kirumi asked how long she planned to stay, and viola replied as long as she was on vacation. We all had a laugh and we gave her a spare room to stay in. She is still on vacation to this day.

## Abilities

Viola was taken from off the streets and became one of the best assassins in a mercenary group well known on the black market, called Shashou. She stayed in this group for around 20 years developing her keen fighting skills and tactical expertise. And as such she is now holding both immense skill in combat and also excelling in all aspects of killing.

**Strength:** Fitting for an ex-assassin, Viola has a tremendous amount of strength able to easily pierce a human skull with her weapons or bare hands when enraged. She has great control over her strength when dealing with weaker opponents and often doesn't use her full strength when fighting until made necessary. She was able to send multiple fully grown men flying through walls just by kicking and punching them. She is also able to easily break and pierce bones of her opponent. She spends a good third of the day weight lifting and working out, not necessarily to get stronger but just because it's been a part of her daily routine for as long as she can remember.

**Fighting prowess:** Her fighting style is powerful, strong, firm, and aggressive, and adding a bit of acrobatic flair to the mix, viola is a warrior to be feared. A formidable hand-to-hand combatant, having received extensive training in Street Fighting, Military Combat and Mixed Martial Arts. Viola is an extremely skilled gymnast, acrobat, and aerialist, often incorporating gymnastics and acrobatics into her fighting. She has numerous complex maneuvers throughout her battles that have also been enhanced over the years of rigorous training. She strikes directly without hesitation, utilizing her extraordinary physical powers to shatter opponents' defenses. Viola stays close to the ground, she is agile, acrobatic and deadly and has mastered dozens of martial arts. She is able to adapt to his opponent's fighting styles, studying them during the fight and adapting to negate their strengths. She also sometimes makes use of dirty tactics such as striking the groin, gouging the eyes or even biting. Through intense training, specialized diet and meditation, Viola's strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, senses, healing and endurance are beyond the human peak.

**Rakt:** The power of the Tulan tribe that only occurs in members with three or eight eyes. It is essentially blood manipulation allowing the user to control anyone's blood be it their own or their opponents. Viola uses her Rakt ability to create weapons or control people. She uses this ability to a great degree, controlling the blood within someones body and by association controlling the person, creating ever changing weapons to fit the style of combat being used, or simply draining the blood from a persons body making them pass out or die instantaneously.

**Endurance and Tolerance:** Viola possesses immense levels of durability and endurance, having survived numerous serious injuries and oftentimes continuing to fight and move around while afflicted with them. Viola trains incredibly harshly, and this severe training enables viola to possess a high trait of endurance and tolerance to pain, unable to feel some varieties of physical pain. This is mostly in spots like her palms and arms. This was shown to allow her to catch flaming arrows with ease. She is able to survive multiple gunshot wounds, stabbings and blunt force trauma without feeling much of an effect. Despite her mastery of assassination, Viola is frequently injured, but demonstrates nearly inhuman tolerance to pain, being able to shrug off physical blows, cuts and bullet wounds with ease.

**Intelligence:** Viola is a very effective strategist, tactician, and field commander. She possesses the ability to quickly process multiple information streams like threat assessments and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations. She has a vast knowledge of human anatomy, displayed by her often using joint locks and hitting enemies in the weakest parts of their bodies. Her prodigious skill from her years of training also allows her to predict her opponents' plans of attack. Viola can even sense the blood lust of her enemies unless they are skilled assassins like herself. She can also discern the damage and make the correct choice of what to do next.

**Poison tolerance:** She has built up a high poison tolerance. As a part of her rigorous training in Shashou not only is she tolerant to poison she can tell which poison it is simply by the taste and effects. She's able to continue fighting after being injected with enough poison to kill a killer whale and stay alert and perceptive after being drugged with enough drugs to kill a bear. This high tolerance also included her great tolerance for alcohol although not perfect as she is still able to get drunk after a while.

**Weapon mastery:** She is able to wield a wide assortment of weapons, mastering all sorts of armed combat styles. She prefers polearms but is fully capable of switching between multiple weapons in the course of a battle. Viola has wielded a wide assortment of guns from pistols, riffles, or revolvers to shotguns and grenade or missile launchers. She is capable of long range or close range combat with said guns and is known for her great sniping from long ranges. While proficient at guns she does prefer polearms mostly her well known scythe but not limited to axes, spears, harpoons, tridents, and naginatas. Although not a fan of nunchaku's she can use them but not as efficient as the other listed weapons. Viola also uses many knife's in close combat quarters, this can include normally wielding knife's with great skill or throwing knifes with enough force to pierce human bone. To add to this rap sheet of skills Viola is also able to create weapons out of her surroundings, as seen when she dispatched some gangsters with nothing but a belt and the heels of pair of high heel she found.

**Stealth:** As an ex-assassin Viola is able to both break into and escape highly secured places to get close to her target and complete her job. This also speaks to her incredible memory as she is easily able to memorize complicated architectural layouts with only a few glances.

## Weaknesses

**Heels:** Although able to walk and somewhat run in heels Viola can't find her balance in heels and usually falls if she attempts to kick or fight in heels. As such she refuses to wear them although this can be bent as she can be persuaded by Evergreen if they are playing dress up.

**Teaching:** Due to the way she trained and was taught in Shashou Viola has a very rough way of teaching. This teaching method of hers forces almost everyone who has tried it to give up on account of how impossible and difficult it seems.
