Sassy
Maria is a woman full of spirit, she always seem to be bursting with energy wherever she goes. Bold and cocksure, she refuses to take any back talk and is not afraid to throw her weight around to get her way. Her audacious attitude knows no bounds, with her rudeness bordering on extremely disrespectful to most. Because of her forwardness, Mimi is often an open book about how she feels and what she wants, not like she cares. The woman feels no shame for her actions, instead as believes she has a given right to what she pleases because of who she was forced to become.

Haughty
Unapologetically snarky, Mimi's arrogance practically comes in waves off her body. The woman is so full of herself that her vain nature has gotten herself in more trouble than anything, but all she sees from it is people being jealous of her looks. In response she is quick to talk down to others, even quicker to tell them just how wrong they are about something. Maria has no respect for anyone but herself, even less so for other Sueki. Her imperiousness when compared to those of her race is extremely overbearing, often putting her own snobbish behavior up for display.

Animated
Almost like a complete contrast to her asshole attitude, Maria is very excitable and full of life when she isn't trying to look like the biggest in the room. Her exuberance makes her come off as peppy and makes her seem much younger than she actually is. While this sprightly temperament may seem like she isn't rude, it actually bolsters her haughtiness. Even while she is smiling and sparkling, the woman does not hesitate to cut into others hearts with her forked tongue, all the while still retaining her bouncy demeanor.

(Secret) Giant Teddybear
Despite her detestable behavior, Mimi does have her soft side that does not show willingly. It's usually dragged out of her by people who stroke her ego to the point where she's not thinking and offering to "help" them with their "much smaller and more lame problems". While in this state of softness, she is easily embarrassed with some kind of dopey look on her face. Regardless of that, she is secretly quite kind to humans as she feels pity towards them as they now have been classified as food for her, making her feel guilty to hell and back. Maria knows she is quite shallow, but she just can't help herself doting on humans due to their lower end of the spectrum in comparison to her, viewing them as pet animals that need to be taken care of.



Left at an orphanage at age five by parents she barely remembers, most people would assume Maria to be a problem child. But she was actually quite the opposite! The young child was rather happy where she was in the orphanage, she felt like everyone there was a giant family and felt warm, in comparison to the people that she lived with previously. She wasn't the youngest of the children there, but she still did get part happily by helping the older kids with chores and the babies. The orphanage itself wasn't very well off but it wasn't exactly dirt poor either. The head mother, Lucia, was a woman in her mid sixties and had opened the business due to her love for children, despite being unable to have children of her own, but that didn't stop her from being loved by every child under her care.

At the age of twelve was when she was allowed to go to a public school after being homeschooled for most of her younger years. Madam Lucia called it "her gateway back into society", but Maria nonetheless it made the girl excited to make friends with people outside of her family. However, the transition did not go as smoothly as she had hoped. The people in her middle school were mean and rude, they bullied Maria's weird eyes, called her a bumpkin and some people were even cruel about the fact that she had no parents. It made the girl feel depressed, but she didn't dare let anyone know. When they were being mean to her, she just snarked them right back, which often to led fights, which of course involved Madam Lucia getting involved. Maria didn't care about getting in trouble, the teachers weren't very helpful anyway, but she felt guilty about getting Madam Lucia involved. The administrative office had questioned her ability to deal with orphans and just generally talked down to the older woman. Of course, Ms. Lucia told her to not worry about it and to continue to be herself, albeit with a bit less fighting. Conflicted, the girl was a bit confused on why she just let it go so easily, but agreed nonetheless.

At the age of seventeen was when things started to change in Maria's life. On the cusp of her seventy-ninth birthday, Madam Lucia passed from causes unknown to the children. Despite finals coming up soon for the teenager, she threw it all to the wind in exchange for helping around the orphanage as things fell into chaos. With Ms. Lucia gone, sponsors began to back out of supporting the orphanage, saying that now that she was gone there was no reason for them to fund a failing project. This hurt everything set in place by the older woman, as pillars began to fall left and right. But what hurt most was the fact that kids began to disappear. This building could fall for all she cared, her family was more important. It made her worry, so she tried calling the older kids who now lived on their own for help, but everyone claimed to be too busy. Frustrated by the lack of help combined worry, Maria figured it was time for desperate measures and began to patrol the surrounding area during the mornings and evenings. One of the older brothers had left them a rifle to use in case of emergencies before he left, and while she didn't know how to work the firearm, it was better than nothing. But despite her best attempts, kids continued to disappear right from their beds or to/from school. It was just too much for a seventeen year old girl.

By the time of Maria's nineteenth birthday, the orphanage had been fully abolished and her family had been spread all across America, but that was the last thing on her mind at the moment. Lately, her mind had been full of her new boyfriend, Anton, who was a rather mysterious older man in his mid twenties. He had started taking care of her when he met her working in some rundown cafe. She had failed to get into any college after finishing high school and was just trying to survive anyway possible. Meeting Anton had seemed like the light in her darkness and she had been smitten since he gave her his award winning smile. But Anton wasn't exactly normal, he always just seemed a tad unusual. Not to mention their nightly get activities,, where she would wind up blanking out during the start and waking up feeling drained and confused. Not to mention just how much intercourse the man demanded, it made her feel extremely uncomfortable, but Anton just brushed it off every time she brought it up. Their relationship continued and lasted for two years, with Maria just barely holding onto it despite the fact that she knew he was cheating on her. It was toxic and unhealthy but Maria didn't care, she just wanted to feel wanted. So she became desperate, begging him to not leave her, to stop seeing those other men and women and to be satisfied with just her. After what appeared to be a month of desperation did Anton finally grant Mimi her wish, only in the worst form possible.

In truth, Anton was a Sueki and he used sex to drain energy from her for the last two years and had began looking for other partners when she was starting to taste bland. So when the woman began to hound him, Anton took it upon himself to give her what she wanted, except it wasn't what she wanted at all. The older man had started to give the woman bites along her neck, leaving her feeling dizzy and nauseous for days, not even including the agony she felt when she could feel her blood start to burn. After she passed out from the pain, Maria dreamed odd dreams of butterflies and flowers for several hours before she had awaken. The next twenty years passed by in a drunken blur and by the time she came to, she wasn't with Anton anymore, but rather a group of people she didn't even recognize. Shocked to her core and confused, Maria ran away from the sea of unfamiliar faces and into the forest where she discovered just how much had changed about herself in the span of ten years. Her raven hair was now as white as snow and somehow her eyes had gotten even more red and now glowed, not to mention her horns!

Feeling vulnerable and like her heart was breaking into tiny little pieces, Maria slowly and hesitantly returned back to people she didn't recognize, realizing that they probably understood what she was and how to help her. They were waiting for her when she returned, realizing that she must have been broken out of her stupor and that she could finally be a real part of them. Maria later learned that these people were other Sueki who were apart of the Grand Sueki army, of which she was now technically apart of as well. They explained to her what she was, who she was now, and what had happened since she had been turned by Anton. Apparently after she survived the initial transformation, Anton had passed her off to some other Sueki to teach her the ropes, basically discarding her like used goods. They had taken care of Maria, feeding her to help complete the full initiate and allowing her to feast on their blood to acquire their bloodline and had even managed to coax her into drinking human blood. With their help, she managed to fully integrate herself into the army properly. However, this did not mean she accepted what happened without complaint. When she learned of what happened, Maria vowed to find Anton and to kill him with her bare hands for what he did to her. Sure, she asked to be with him, but he didn't even take care of her, he dumped her on someone else like she wasn't worth the trouble. So, slowly over one hundred and twenty six years, Maria bid her time getting to understand her new world and searching for Anton. She didn't care about getting stronger or rising in any kind of rank. Her plan? To find and eliminate Anton Fang, then to kill herself afterwards.



» Natural Abilities:

Shapeshifting — Maria has the ability to dematerialize her entire body along with its genetic and cellular structure into the form of a kaleidoscope of small butterflies. She uses this form mostly to stealthy get around but isn't against using it in combat to confuse her opponents by partially transforming parts of her body into flutters of butterflies. As such, Mimi can also call upon parts of butterflies that she may make use of on her body, i.e. wings or their antenna. Due to the concentration needed to perform this taste, however, her form may break when knocked unconscious and revert back to its original. The swarm will also look unnatural due to it copying her own color scheme, so anyone may notice just how weird a rabble of butterflies with extremely various colors may look traveling together.

Flight — Due to her being able to materialize butterfly wings on her back, Maria uses these wings alongside Kumopu to gain speed and height advantages against her opponents. Or, just to show off her abilities.

» Racial Abilities:

Tier 3
Urges: Your urges outweigh your need for blood. You can survive without taking in any blood, but it must be substituted with energy instead.
Enhanced Energy Detection:[/i] You can track down and locate even the most minute of energy sources from miles away. At low levels of bloodline constitution this only lasts for a few posts, and the limit is 2 miles. At the higher end this can become a passive effect, and the limit can reach as high as 10 miles.
Enhanced Touch: Being able to feel every bump and wave, you can read through touching patterns and even detect vibrations and their source.
Enhanced Vision: You can see clearly, even in dense locations at an impressive distance. Colors are more vivid and night vision is enhanced even further. The Sueki is even capable of long distance sight, noticing small details from up to 2 miles away.

Tier 2
Night’s Thirst: The Sueki secretes an invisible veil of energy that reacts with the energy of others that are nearby, causing their own energy to slowly seep out and be absorbed by the Sueki. This absorption is minor at lower levels of bloodline constitution, but can keep the Sueki going for longer than others. Even at grand master levels of bloodline constitution the Sueki can never absorb more than half as much energy than they started off with. So in theory, a zero tier Sueki with a GM in bloodline constitution could keep this in effect until they'd multiplied their energy by one and one half. The rate at which they absorb the energy is also dependent on their bloodline constitution. At lower levels they find it difficult to absorb enough energy to even power a small attack, but at higher levels they are able to rapidly absorb energy that isn't being guarded. The opponent can suppress their energy to fight against this ability to great effect, but if they are exerting a great amount of spiritual pressure the Sueki will find this absorption easier.

Tier 1
Energy Burst: Your thirst for energy can create a blast of parched adrenaline, empowering your physical speed and strength by one level, up to elite, whilst allowing you to derive pleasure from using energy based abilities and force yourself beyond your limits. These bursts only occur when you are around that one thing that turns you on.
Infusion: your blood has become tainted with energy and you need it to survive. However, this also provides an additional level of defense and offence to your energy based abilities and when hit by energy attacks.




» Bloodline:

Lover's Bloodline

The Lovers are a group of Sueki that have managed to focus their dependence of blood into different places. These include the House of Temptation that replaces their needs with sex, whilst the House of Souls feast on energy resources to fuel their fire.

House of Souls
