Personality

Star Sign: Capricorn

Personality: Jun has a rather complex personality, although it is not apparent to people who have not been with her for a long time, or to people whom she decides to keep a distance from. She has a temperament that is frequently unstable, her emotions can change drastically in a matter of seconds, which she sometimes tries to conceal with varying results of success. But on the whole, she always tries to act in the most appropriate manner, i.e. being compassionate, responsible, polite, friendly etc but this is subject to her mood changes, especially if she is acting towards someone she trusts and feels that it isn’t that necessary to put up the “nice” front. Or conversely, if it is with a stranger whom she decides is unworthy of the “nice” behaviour. It can come across as snobbish sometimes.

Jun does not believe in minding her own business. As long as it is within acceptable boundaries, she would not stop poking her nose in other people’s things or affairs, and in the same way, she feels compelled to undertake a certain “older sibling” role towards her SeeD team-members. She vaguely knows that her meddlesome tendencies may not be appreciated, but she does not really care as long as she can justify her actions.

Much of her nosiness stems from a huge insecurity she feels. She does it to feel needed, to feel included in part of a group, to care about someone so that she doesn't need to think about that gaping hole left by her amnesia. In a way, she's trying to create memories now to make up for what she doesn't have.

History: Jun has no memory of her past. The only thing she can remember about it is waking up in an old couple's house in Dollet, and then leaving them weeks later to enrol in Balamb Garden. The only clue she possesses about her foggy past is Tien Nu, her beloved sword and her set of pugilistic skills.

Jun's primary aim to joining Balamb Garden is to regain her memory and she instictively feels that Garden would be able to help her with that. So as soon as she joined the institution, she always gave her best and tries to excel every class she takes, She passed the SeeD Exam at first try with top results. She quickly climbed to the top, her rank escalating with the high success rate to her missions. Jun soon caught the eye of Headmistress Xu and was put on the Wake team.

Moral standards: She has strong sense of what’s right and wrong, something which she refuses to budge on. Even her nosy-parker tendencies has to take a back seat to her morals. She draws a line between what is acceptable and what is not, and if she feels that her actions are in danger of crossing it, she would stop immediately.

Goals: To get the Emerald and the Ruby, and defeat Adel. In other words, WORLD PEACE ^__^

And to search for her forgotten past

Likes: LES CHOCOLATE TURTLES, candy, poking her nose into other's business, taking care of people, Tien Nu, tall dark handsome men (with exclusion of Weiss Jong lol) surfing/writing on the computer, beautiful weapons, poetry

Dislikes: Smoking, her enemies, Adel's makeup

Hobbies/Talents: polishing her sword, blogging (technology catches up in B-Garden!), chocolate-making (for emergency times when there isn't any ready made ones at hand), meditation, crystal ball reading!!

Quote(s)/ Lyric(s) to describe your character: Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I cannot hide Who I am, though I've tried When will my reflection show who I am inside When will my reflection show who I am inside

Theme song(s): Kill Bill instrumental song

Technical

Weapon name: Tien Nu (heavenly maiden)

Weapon Description/ picture:

It is a sword, its blade broad and long, extremely sharp. It is believed that this sword can carve or slice through anything at all, and so far, this has not been disproved, but mainly because Jun doesn’t go around hacking at metal to prove the theory. The Blade is carved with exquisite detail, depicting a beautiful woman in flowing, celestial robes and rising out of water. The Sheath is made of silver, with an embossing of Tien Nu in a foreign language.

Weapon History: Tien Nu is actually Jun's Master's farewell gift to her and acquiring one of its ingredients was one of her final tests before mastering the skill.

Limit Breaks (maximum 2):

Sword Fury: Jun attacks the enemy with a combination of sword and chi moves, and the more injured she is the swifter and harder she strikes as her fury rises.

Final Obliteration: Jun slashes the air multiple times very quickly, almost too quickly for the naked eye to discern, until it reaches the maximum point. These actions causes an aerial vortex which sucks all the slashes in, before Jun delivers one final major slash that pushes all the previous slashes onto the enemy, creating devastating damage while leaving the enemy no time to counterattack or defend himself/herself.

The weakness about this move is that before the final slash, it leaves Jun vulnerable to attack, and it requires an extended amount of time to culminate all the slashes into that last move, so it should be prefably done with cover from her teammates. The success of the move itself is also dependent on all the right factors of Time, Element and Human Will being present.

Magic (choose three from the game): Regen, Ultima, Shell

Items (choose three): Elixer, Mega-Phoenix, Remedy

Specialties (hacking, thievery etc.): Meh, I scrapped her skill cos she probably never uses it. So Jun is skill-less haha!

Guardian Force name/appearance: Ghetto drawing: [image]

Sapphire Dragon is as the name suggests, a dragon with sparkly blue scales. He has a long tail, winding body, long white beard and a pair of horns which are actually his weakness. Nobody but Jun knows that.

Guardian Force’s attack: His attack is a non-elemental energy ray that when directed at enemies, causes them to be burnt severely, if not fatally. At the same time, he revives any dead team-members with another ray. His other attack is his mouth, which constantly ribs at Jun whenever he can.

Guardian Force’s personality: Sapphy, as affectionately called by Jun, is an insummonable GF, and he only comes out when he finds it necessary. Usually he tries to guide Jun towards doing the right thing usually by jibes and sometimes stern warnings but occassionally he can offer a few words of consolation especially if he senses that Jun needs it. His tongue is sharp and sarcastic but he means no harm. He is extremely proud, arrogant to the point of narcissitic and abides by an extremely rigid moral sense.

Blue for the colour of her eyes and Sapphy's scales Black for her hair and the fact that Kuroki means blackwood White because she likes the zen feel of black and white

10. What makes your character a vital asset to the team: Jun likes to play peacemaker and if there are 'third parties' to the SeeD team (like the Opps) she can be counted on to be the bridge between both teams since she's always an advocate of teamwork.
