Rilke, Nikola (WIP)

Gender: Female

Occupation: N/A.

Skills/Talents:

• [ PURE OF HEART ] Nikola naturally gets along with animals and people and is generally seen as a kind and caring person. While this is mostly true, the girl has misused this charm before, exploiting it to get what she needs to get when she needs to get it.
• [ PLAY SWORDS ] Nikola always won at the pretend sword-fights during her early and late childhood. While this is near meaningless to mention at this point, she personally finds it useful to mention.
• [ HOME-FRY ] Even though she is a mere eleven years old, Nikky has already managed to nearly master the art of cooking fried foods.

Flaws/Weaknesses:

• [ CREEPY CRAWLIES ] Nikola is terrified of generally any sort of insect or arachnid type creature and refuses to touch them under any circumstance.
• [ ALBINISM ] Nikola has severe ocular albinism, making bright lights very difficult on her eyes. She has a hard time seeing in broad daylight and functions better in evening light,
• [ BLIND-EYE ] Due to her condition, it’s safe to say her sight isn’t 20/20 either. While she doesn’t require glasses (and furthermore refuses to wear them), she cannot read many things that are over ten yards away from her, and isn’t the best shot with a ranged weapon.

Personality:
Nikola was a runt by every definition of the word. Scrawny, small, short, underweight, thin, but she was anything but weak. Her soul and heart must of been twice as big as any other person's to make up for her physically small frame. When the German's mind became set on a task, she devoted herself to it, not stopping at any obstacle to complete that task or to obtain that goal. Her tactics weren't always the most pure, but the had the best of intentions, always. The child spent many afternoons watching superhero cartoons, spawning a vivid imagination full of heroism and acts of justice. Sometimes she would read comic books of the same genre, but she mostly just ended up skimming while looking at the colorful artwork.

Men with superpowers aren't the only people Nikola sees as heroes; she also has great respect for soldiers in the military. Her father being a veteran himself, she looks up to his past stories of heroism during WW2. The young Rielke wishes to be just like her father, wanting to someday join the armed forces despite her gender and condition. While it is a severe case of albinism, she doesn't let it bother her at all, claiming herself to be just as special as everybody else in the world. With this attitude, most insults about the said defect barely even phase her.

Nikola's actions are a little more than rash. She's young, uneducated, and determined as Alexander the Great, which more than often leads to nothing but messy mistakes. She believes in strategy but executes it poorly, often resorting to "Hail Mary" or "Absolute Warfare" typed tactics, simply trying to break down the walls preventing her from obtaining her goals rather than climbing over them or going around them. Of course this not only dangerous to people around her, but also her own health. Surrender or giving up are also tactics unknown to the child.

While the German is adventurous type in every sense of the word, spending a lot of time in the daylight bothers her eyes a great amount. Because of this, she has resorted to fabricating stories in her head in her house, and occasionally, venturing out into the nearby fields or woods at nighttime. She's become somewhat of a master of sneaking around by her own terms due to these late night shenanigans, being forced to slip past her sleeping parents.

When speaking to others, Rielke still hasn't grasped the concept of authority. She will often back-talk others no matter their age or rank, not really caring too much about the consequences of doing so. This shouldn't be mistakes for a lack of respect, as those she spends enough time with around to call friends are clearly treated much differently, her ideals of justice showing through the most in these instances.

As far as likes go, she basically really likes superheroes, yo-yos, and for some reason, morbid artwork and stuffed dolls. Nikola hates bugs, and really, really hates spiders.

Personal History:
The only child the Rilke family ever had was born with the rare disease known as albinism, a defect that was incurable, but thankfully, it barely affected her life. The girl grew up frail though healthy, having an actively social personality that refused to let her disadvantages control her. She learned how to walk at an earlier age than normal, falling over and over again only to get back up and try again. This was but a beginning to a series of ambitious events.

Although Nikola is German, she has never seen the country or lived there; her parents moving to the small town of Yachiyo right before her birth. Her father had received a work opportunity, and the neighborhood in Berlin they had come to call home wasn’t exactly the best place to raise a child, especially with the rising gang violence and criminal activity in the area. The pale child would never know this place, and would come to know the Japanese countryside as her home.

Nikola started public school as soon as she could and took it on as a challenge and a source of social excitement. She didn’t care who liked her and who didn’t like her; her goal was to talk to everybody and anybody. One could say she effectively even forced her way into elementary school popularity in a short manner of time. Everybody knew who she was, either in a good or bad way, and that was exactly her intentions. The frail girl even tried out for several sports teams and clubs, though she didn’t make the cut more than half the time.

Academically? Well, she fell a little less than short in that area. Nikola doesn’t understand math and never really cared about reading, which of course led to a number of problems in her school life. The best grade she can usually muster is a solid C, or the very rare B-. She did get an A one time, a time that she boasts about considerably; though that time was a single answer test about her favorite color. Other than school, there really isn’t much to the girl’s history.

Mostly because she was grounded half the time from her performance in school. Occasionally Nikola would do typical things a child her age would do, such as go out and explore the countryside, or visit her Grandmother’s house in Shibuya, or collect rocks and stones, never bugs though, those things are absolutely disgusting. Especially spiders. Regardless, due to her energetic nature, Nikky never wanted to spend more than five minutes in any sort of indoor facility, likely the reason why she never cared for school. Her life was mundane, and she wanted adventure, she was curious about the world outside of her area.

As they say, curiosity killed the cat.

Backpack Contents:

• [ YO-YO ] A blue and yellow colored tin yo-yo. It’s kind of a piece of crap, but it was a gift from a close friend, so Nikola usually keeps it on her person.
• [ MONSTER PLUSHIE ] A plush doll of some strange and creepy looking creature.
