Sairies

Sairies didn't even get but a moment after she finally managed to plunge her dagger into the wolf before she felt the resistance basically vanish as she watched a spear pierce through it on the other side and the wolf howled before bursting into shards and vanishing.  That was it. They were done. If felt like they had been fighting for both way too long, but like it all happened in an instance. Should really couldn't imagine it was more than just a few seconds or a minute or so at most, and still it was all over. 

Sairies arms shot up, dagger still held in reverse grip as she shouted "We did it!" as excited filled her to the brim. There was a clear smile on her face and nothing but joy.  She was alive! They were alive! they had killed monsters and not died in the process! the thought was exhilarating given the kind of mental state and pure fear that she'd been feeling over the past few months.  That was until she remembered who her companion was, as she spotted Roulette walking over towards her.  Her arms and face dropped a bit. 'Riiiggghhtttt... him' Sairies let out a sigh as he approached.

"I suppose we have to sort out who gets who, huh," he said rather dejectedly as she opened up his menus "Who gets whaa-" she stopped herself short. 'oh right! Items! drops!' Sairies had totally forgotten about those kinds of things and was honestly just most thrilled to be alive. I'm not in the mood to fight with anyone today, so I suppose I'll let you have the more... rarer item here," He said eyeing her out of the corner of her eye. Sairies sheathed her dagger as she began her natural response "oh no... you really don't-.." She cut herself off again and looked at the trade menu. She knew she hadn't really helped. But honestly, he was extending an olive branch to her. Rejecting that might look poor, and she wasn't really in the mood to argue anymore either. "Actually, I'll take it" Sairies said hitting accept on the trade offer before he could change his mind "Thank you Roulette... for offering that I mean. I understand I didn't really help out much in the fight. So that was kind." She said as she dropped her hand down to open up the menu and then navigated to the party options, leaving the party. She then walked over to Roulette and offered her hand to shake. "I'm not gonna say it was nice to meet you... you were kind of an asshole through most of it. But I'm fairly confident I would have died without you here, and you didn't even complain that much about me when we were fighting... at least not audibly. So thank you for saving me." She said with her hand extended offering to shake. If he said anything else, she'd stay and listen, and/or if he didn't take her hand she'd drop it. Either way after it was all over, She'd turn around and start to head back towards The Town of Beginnings. Stopping briefly to say back over her shoulder "Seriously. Thanks for this." Then she'd wander off.

In a weird way, she hoped she see him again. Maybe at least that time he'd lighten up a little bit. A small part of her thought that if he'd chill out a little bit they could maybe even be friends. Maybe. At some point. Waaayyyyy later.

"We've exchanged multiple attacks with this mutated mutt and we still haven't killed it yet?" Roulette scuffed as the wolf managed to dodge yet another attack. She'd agree. This was some BS if she'd ever seen it. But still. They had to kill it. She had to kill it if she ever wanted to get away from this guy. Though knowing that he was struggling just as much as she was put her might a little bit more at ease around him. Please he seemed to ease off being the biggest A-hole at least while they fought, which Sairies had been grateful for.

Still, she grew tired of not being able to take care of mobs on the first floor? How was she ever going to progress if she couldn't even kill the basic mods.  Sairies eyes narrowed at the wolf as she got down into an aggressive stance. She let out a sigh as she let the anger in her broil. It shouldn't have taken this long. She have finished off these wolves by now and moved on. Sairies face tightened in anger as her eyes narrowed. Sairies shot past Roulette and 'lunged' at the wolf. Her movements hadn't been aimed by the system, it was more of an arm movement as far as the system was concerned then an actual attack. Still, the wolf launched to the side and then lept straight towards her aiming to bite. The corners of Sairies mouth turned upwards in a bit of a sadistic grin. She foot turned sideways slowing her momentum by quite a bit. She then put her left foot forwards, spinning as the wolf lept towards her. Quickly flipping the dagger in her hand, she brought the dagger down at an angle as she spun. Slamming her dagger into the base of the wolf's skull, effectively blocking the attack and securing the hit in one move. 

The wolf let out a howl of pain as it's health bar dropped dangerously low.

Sairies entered the valley not too long after she set out for it, and she began searching around the area. She figured if it was spaced out like she thought it was, then she'd probably be far enough away from the last herb she found to find another. If she wasn't far enough away, she could also go wander about some more. She really wasn't worried about how long this was going to take. She was honestly just enjoying being out of the large, crowded, noisy, and depressing city that the town of beginnings had become. There were so many people that were like she had been just a few days ago. Sitting around, hopelessly waiting for the news that the frontlines had cleared yet another floor. They hadn't even made it a quarter of the way yet. Were people just going to sit there on their ass for all 100 floors? It seemed likely. Not that Sairies had much room to talk. She'd been one of them until recently, just wandering around the town aimlessly. Day in and day out they sat around with nothing to do but ferment in their hopelessness. It was incredibly depressing, and she'd been one of them. She wouldn't be one of them any longer. She was going to play this game, and if she got good enough help beat it. 

Sairies smiled as she entered the valley, and not too long after she'd been walking she found what she was looking for. The herb was stationed in the front practically welcoming her  into the valley. She gleefully walked over and plucked it. Almost skipping at this point.

Sairies scanned the area a bit in search for the next place that she'd look for an herb. That didn't seem to be as densely gathered as she might have liked for herbs to be, and so she'd need to fan out her search a bit. This mechanic however, made at least a little bit of sense to Sairies. If these herbs were meant to make healing potions then having them bundled up or close together might create a large influx of healing items in the game. Especially if they respawned and Sairies was beginning to think they did. Sure these potions might not be as good as some of the ones on the higher floors but they'd help, especially for lower level players or for when the game had just started.

So Kayaba was trying to keep this resource at least a little bit scarce so there wouldn't be an over-abundance of healing items in the game. This meant that players couldn't rely on healing items to get them through encounters or to keep them ultra safe. They'd need skill, and there was risk involved. That was the message Kayaba was trying to instill. Or at least that's what Sairies was picking up.

Still, she needed to find herbs no matter how far apart they were spread. So Sairies looked around for a bit and spotted a small valley sunken into the forest. She figured that that would be as good a place as any to find what she was looking for.

Sairies kept her eyes out and about for anything that she might find on her way to the valley, however there wasn't anything around. 'figures' She thought.

Not to be downtrodden, Sairies continued her search around the area. She wasn't actually sure if she'd find another herb so close to one another, but she was at least going to try. It's not like the girl was on a time limit or anything. Really the only thing that might happen, is that she might encounter a monster of sorts, and if that did happen she'd either run or fight it. So there really wasn't any need for Sairies to worry. 

Still, she'd already cleared the immediate area around the herb she found so she was going to need to widen her search just a little bit more. 

It didn't take her too much after she widened her search around the initial herb a bit more, before another twinkling caught her eye. Another one of the same herbs she'd gotten before was sitting next to a tree. Sairies quickly ran over and plucked it. The same message log as before popping up to her delight. That was 2 out of the 5 that she needed. She was making pretty decent progress thus far.

Reinvigorated by her recent success, Sairies began quickly searching around the forest for any more herbs that she might find hidden about. Her step quickening just a bit knowing that there was at least hope after-all.

She started by searching immediately around the herb. Nothing there, at least not that she could find. So she widened her search from the herb a little bit more. She began checking in small little nooks and crannies to see if there might be anything tucked in there. She still found nothing.

and as much as Sairies continued to search the area she couldn't find another herb. She wouldn't let her doubt settle in quite yet about this around though. She had already found one and was determined to find another. It could also be a chance that maybe she's just unlucky. After the other day with the wolf, in which she couldn't hit either of them at all she wouldn't be surprised. But for now, she'd keep her hopes up that another herb was just around the corner.

Sairies looked back at the path one more time while she could still it from where she was. She let out a defeated sigh, quickly glancing around to make sure that she hadn't missed any herbs or anything, before turning around and heading deeper into the forest. 

Sairies strolled around the forest, just taking in the sights for the moment as she wandered deeper. The forest was breathtakingly beautiful. The large oak tree that surronded her. The Sunlight that shown through the canopy. It was all so beautiful that she couldn't help but admire it. Kayaba had really gone out of his way with attention to detail in this game. He wanted to make it feel real. That much Sairies could tell just by this small stroll. It was for that reason that Sairies was at least a little grateful for being trapped in this game. She hadn't really gotten to gone outside much due to her condition, and so it was like she was really getting to see the world now. Obviously it wasn't the real world, the platform with flowing water coming off it that defied the laws of physics was proof enough of that. But still, it was nice for her.

As Sairies was in the middle of her stroll admiring the scenery of the game a glint caught the corner of her eye. "An herb!" She shouted audibly for the no one around her. She rushed over and picked it. A small window popping up on her interface that said "1 Greenleaf Herb Added" The smile on her face was huge. So this forest hadn't been picked clean, or at least the herbs respawned.  Either way that was 1 down and 4 to go.

Sairies let out a sigh as she couldn't find anything near the path. She kind of expected that to be the case, especially because she was on the 1st floor. There'd be people here who considered this a safe place to gather MATs. Still she had been hopeful, but it was apparently for naught.  A bit defeated, Sairies mentally prepared herself to head further into the forest. She knew that she'd have a better chance of finding MATs in a little more dangerous areas, but that didn't make it any more worrying for her.

She stepped off the path and began searching the nearby forest for any herbs or anything. Unfortuantely she still wasn't lucky. It figures that next to the path would be just as barren as the path was its self. She'd definitely need to head deeper into the forest if she wanted to find anything.

Sairies watched patiently as her energy bar ticked up one. She grinned as her dagger began to glow a bright purple, humming with the distinct sound that said she was about to use a sword art. she let it charge up for a second as she began to run towards it. She then let the sword art release when she felt it was ready. However she could tell immediately that she let it go too early, and her result proved that. 

Sairies blade ended in front of the wolf. She didn't even get to take her second strike as the combo was stopped at the first strike. Anger flared in her. Was she really this nervous? She hadn't been able to hit a single wolf yet, and it was frustrating. Sairies let a disgruntled "[censored] hell are you serious?" as she missed. She wasn't sure if this was just because this was now real and so she wasn't sure of herself or if she was scared of dying, and that made her nervous enough to miss every strike. But, whatever her issue was she needed to resolve it soon. 

The wolf then moved it's way past her and went directly for the person who has damaged it most recently. The most Sairies could do was spin herself around, sliding to a halt. As she watched the wolf lunge towards Roulette. Thankfully it missed. Sairies began preparing for another attack assuming that Roulette won't kill it this round. Even if he did manage to kill the creature Sairies being prepped for the worst couldn't be a bad thing.

 "I'm finishing this damn thing," Roulette Shouted as he charged the wolf that had bit him. Sairies eye widened as he drove the spear into the wolf's pelt. The creature let out a gratifying howl and then burst into tiny shards. Sairies was so excited she almost jumped for joy, but then she remembered that they had another problem to deal with. 

Just as that thought crossed her mind, she heard the padding of feet behind her. She dodged out of the way just as the wolf lunged past her. '[censored] that one was close' She thought to herself. However now that the other one was dealt with there was something she wanted to try. As Roulette stood next to her and grumbled about getting rid of the next one, Sairies nodded to herself and said aloud "Right. Cover me for a second while I replenish my energy a bit..." She said as she leapt backwards a bit and knelt in a crouching position. Her blade reverse grip behind her, she leveled her eyes at the wolf and waited...

As Sairies entered the workshop, the old man behind the counters face lit up "Ah! A young adventurer come to start her journey yes? Well I wouldn't mind offering a bit of help if you don't mind?" as he said that, a notification of a new quest appeared in front of Sairies. The girl skimmed through the basic details for the quest and when she was satisfied that this is what she was after, she hit accept. The NPC Smiled at her. "Wonderful!" He shouted to her "Now, I need you to go and get me 5 herbs from the forest just a bit outside of the city. If you can help me with that, I'll teach you how to make potions!" The man beamed at her. She gave him a quick thanks before she headed out of the workshop and towards the front gate.

Once there, Sairies made her way out the village. She only stopped briefly at the front gate before she continued outside. She was ready to take on this game, and there would be no time for hesitation. She then followed the map marker to down a road until she came a crossed the forest she had ventured into previously. She did a quick take and hadn't spotted any wolves so she figured it was safe to start gathering herbs.

She quickly began searching near the path, but didn't manage to come up with anything significant.

Roulette quickly maneuvered to his feet, recovering from his attack.  She was glad he wasn't at least wasn't complaining about her not being able to hit the creature in the slightest. Though, he didn't have much room to complain Sairies noted as he charged his spear in and the wolf nimbly evaded that strike as well. 

'Holy [censored]' Sairies thought to herself. "did we encounter a field boss or something? this wolf is way too skilled for us at this level' Sairies was sure that they would have had it fairly quickly after the initial burst that Roulette had dealt to it, but apparently not.  Sairies nimbly evaded the other wolf whom they hadn't even got to yet and then went in for another attack on their priority target.

The wolf ducked underneath her blade as it bite down on Roulette yet another time. She just couldn't hit it for one reason or another. She winced again as she watched his Hp bar fall just that little bit further. It wasn't in the yellow yet so there wasn't much need to worry, but still it made her feel bad to know that someone's actual life total was falling because she couldn't hit a damn mob. If it got any worse she'd offer to switch with him as the other wolf hadn't been able to touch her health bar yet.

After the events of a successful adventure into the forest just the other day, Sairies was ready for a bit more than getting her feet wet. While the battle with the wolves and meeting Roulette was fine, Sairies definitely wanted to start actually playing the game. That meant leveling up and getting stronger so she didn't need to worry so much about the basic mobs. If she could keep her level a few paces above where she was expecting to fight and learn some new skills that would help her in combat, as well as just learn oh the combat system in general functioned on a deeper level she felt confident that she could... well... feel confident. It'd be a process, but one that she wanted to start on right away.

With that in mind, Sairies was actively searching the town of beginnings for some quests that she knew she could take on. She knew that she want anything too complicated, or if hell if she could avoid combat entirely she'd prefer it, but she also knew that combat would help her gain levels and that she'd need to get used to the mechanics at some point so she she wasn't entirely avoiding the subject. She'd just prefer if she didn't half too was all. 

Thankfully, the town of beginnings was fairly generous to her. There was a small workshop that had a quest marker, and as Sairies stepped into the shop and noticed the "Beginner" tag next to the quest name she couldn't help but smile a little bit. This was exactly what she was looking for.

Seeing the brown haired man get slammed into a tree by the attack of the wolf really didn't help much with her desire to not really be out here. But she was here and she was committed. The man then lunged himself at the same wolf that was already injured, the one they'd been trying to kill up until this point, but the wolf lept backwards narrowly avoiding his attack. He then also jumped back next to Sairies shouting at her "Try to kill this one, this time," as he accepted her party invite.

Sairies looked up into the top left corner of her HUD. So his username is Roulette huh? She'd make a mental note of that but for now she needed to focus on the task in front of her. The girl charged forwards, The 1st wolf still targetting Roulette, she aimed to drive her dagger into it's head. However as she started her plunge forwards, she noticed the other wolf in closing in on her her from the side. She spun underneath it as it lept over her completely whiffing her, but it caused her to move just enough that she just caught the hairs on the other wolf running past her which slammed into Roulette. A soft "damn it..." escaped Sairies lips as she began to move back towards Roulette and the wolf. With how low it's health bar was they definitely should have finished it off by now, but after the first hit it they just couldn't seem to find any sort of purchase on it. It was frustrating, especially because they still had another to deal with.

"Whatever you say, kid. Just don't bite my head off before one of these things, yeah?" Well at least he agreed to that. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all, just a bit irritated. Had she jumped the gun a bit? No, even if he had been in a bad mood running into her and then scowling at her for him not paying attention wasn't good manners in the slightest. Even her sheltered upbringing would tell her that. But, at least he'd be patient and work with her for now. 

"Start with that one." he said, nodding to the one in front of him. He gripped his spear in charged straight in slashing down on the wolf and carving a considerable amount of it's health bar. 'Wait he has beginner equipment right?' Sairies watched as the health bar of the wolf tanked. He did so much damage to it! they could definitely get this done easily. "Well? Get on with it." he shouted next to her, but she was already moving forwards. Some of her instincts kicked in. The creatures health bar looked low enough that she could probably just swipe at it with her dagger so at least theoretically she could skip on the sword art for now.  "On it!" she shouted as she moved passed him, dagger in reverse grip ready to strike.

She readied her blade and slashed, however the wolf didn't shatter nor did she even graze him as it lept deftly to the side of her lunge. It then made it's own lunge at Roulette, not managing to find purchase. It was however enough of a distraction that the second wolf managed to get in an attack. Sairies cringed as she watched his health bar drop. He hadn't accepted her party request, but she still felt bad. If she'd made that attack there, he might not have taken damage. As she spun around to face the monsters, sliding to halt she shouted out "Sorry! he got away from me" as she then began to charge back in.

The padding of feet behind Sairies let her know that someone, most likely him was behind her. Whether he was following her or just heading to the hunting ground she couldn't be certain, but it mad her quicken her steps just that little bit much more as her heart beat raced him. She knew the chances of him being a PKer were slim. Even if he was an asshole, his cursor was green which mean at least for now he was an upstanding player. He also didn't look much stronger than her, and assuming Sairies played it right she might be able to outmatch him or at least make it back to the safe zone where his then orange marker wouldn't allow him to go.

Still, his steps were relentless, and as they got just a little ways into the forest, Sairies turned around to confront the man. "Are you just going to keep following me? isn't there ano-" her words were cut off by the glowing red eyes behind the man, and the red cursor behind him. Her eyes widened and she felt her heart sink and her chest tighten. That was it. That was a real wolf glaring down the two of them looking for a meal. That thing had the very real possibility of ending her life right here and now. She'd never get to see her mom again. She'd never get to read her favorite book again. She'd never find out-... her thoughts were snapped back to reality but the sound of growling behind her...

There was a second one?!? Sairies turned around and slowly started backing away from the growling creature slowly moving towards her. There was nothing between her and that monster right now. Nothing between her and something that wanted her very much dead, and had the power to do it. Sairies kept backing up until she hit something solid. Without looking she couldn't tell whether it was the man or a tree she'd ran into, but her eyes couldn't peel away from the beast in front of her slowly moving forwards. Sairies swallowed the lump in her throat. "So... what do you say we call a truce for now? I'm not sure I can handle both of these myself." she said. Her voice a bit shaky. With that she swiped her hand down and quickly sent him a party invite. XP and Col on Shared. If he did agree, she definitely didn't want all of the XP and Loot going to him.

Sairies was locked into her headspace when suddenly from behind she was ran into. The girl stumbled a few steps forwards, and the words she'd been dreading appeared on her hud.

You are now leaving the safe zone

Sairies froze. It felt like her heart stopped. Thankfully her skin was already fairly pale so it'd hide most of the sheer terror she was expressing, but not quite all of it. She could feel her stomach in her throat. She wasn't sure if she could vomit in a VRMMO, but she figured she was about to find out. However, once more she was snapped out of it. A man who looked like he was in starter gear with the starter weapon too spoke venom at her. "Watch where you're standing," he said. She could almost feel the venom on his words, and subconciously checked her health bar to make sure it didn't come with a status effect before he continued, already walking off. "Some of us people have places to be."

Sairies felt herself flair up. she was working up to stepping outside damn it. And who was he anyways? He didn't look much better off gear wise than she was. He certainly didn't seem as scared of the mobs as she was, but he still couldn't be much better. Before she knew what she was doing, Sairies felt herself moving forwards. The air filled with hum of her Violet dagger  as she switched to reverse grip and oozing a pink light began to emanate from the dagger. In a flash of movement she'd push in front of him, spinning and stopping her dagger mere iches from his throat. Though she was having to hold it considerably up due to their height difference. Her piercing red eyes glaring holes into him. "Watch where you're walking. Some of us have scenes to admire." So that definitely didn't come out as threatening as she would have liked, and as she turned around and sheathed her blade she was glad her skin was as white it was, because ever single step forwards into the fields beyond the Town of Beginnings felt like it might hold death for her. But her pride carried her forwards. Well past the fields that surronded the town and into the nearby forest, where she knew she'd find mobs.

This was it. Today was the day the Sairies would step outside the safe zone. She was given her knife a few days ago, and it was then that she decided that this was what she wanted to do. She wouldn't just sit in the town of beginnings and wait for this game to get cleared for her, she'd at least try to have fun and enjoy the game while she could. She just needed to be careful. That, and Sairies wanted to feel free again. She wanted to run around in open fields once more and not hole herself up in a tavern praying that she didn't get PK'd. She was going to do this.

Steeling her resolve, Sairies walked to the front gate and stood there for a moment. Dagger in hand.  She took a deep breath, and then looked forwards. It was a nice cobble road with fields surronding either side. Sairies couldn't even see any mobs. But trying she was a nervous wreck trying to cross that barrier. So she stood there. Staring out into the open field waiting for her, but refusing to move. She just couldn't bring herself to take a step further. What if she was PK'd? Surely there was just blood crazed indiviuals waiting for weaklings like her to step out for their first time. Or what if the Mobs were harder than she remembered? Or maybe they'd gotten stronger due to others like her religiously clearing out the lower level fields to be safe. There were so many ifs, that Saries just froze.

Profile
Username: Sairies
Real name: Tsumiya, Kina
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Height: 5'2

About: History/personality

19 years ago family and friends gathered around to witness the start of a new generation. Kina would be the first child of any of her grandparent's children, however she wasn't quiet what they would have hoped that she would be, as the girl came out with snow white hair and bright red eyes. Conditions caused by albinism, that made the early years for Kina very difficult. This being that the girl couldn't stay outside for long periods of time, so she had troubles making friends and while some escape for her could be found in video games the strained her eyes too much if she was on for too long.

Even still, the girl made the most of what she could with video games and when that wasn't an option she'd find herself immersed in books or other forms of stories. She found herself relating to rogue type characters the most, not because they were shadowy or edgy or anything of the sort but because she related to their cloaks and hoods even if Kina didn't wear them for the same reason so could at least pretend they did.

Beyond her growing obsession with fantasy, Kina had always been a daddy's girl. She followed her dad just about anywhere she could, and loved it the most when he would sit down and play games with her. The two had an almost inseperable bond. That was until her dad fell in love with another girl. She wasn't told at first, when but a fight broke out while she was playing games upstairs, she couldn't simply ignore it. So the girl went downstairs to investigate and found her mother crying and saying how she'd betrayed him. It was then that Kina's soul was crush as her dad left her and her mom alone to go live off on the other side of japan with another girl.

After that event, and as medicine advanced to allow her to stare at a screen longer, Kina fully immersed herself in the gaming world. She was playing everything she could while avoiding everything and anything from the outside world. It wasn't too long after that, that SAO came around. Kina try as she may couldn't get into the beta but her mom, maybe as some sort of piece offering or to try and get closer to Kina in some way managed to pick up a copy of the game for her.

The game for all of 3 hours was everything she ever wanted. Kina played around with a dagger in something that felt real, and she got to go outside and run around without fear the sun or her health. that was until the opening announcement was made and everything she had thought about freedom and being safe out and about was stripped from her. Kina was in shock and reverted back to her reclusive self even within the game world. Until recently she was one of those that never the town of beginnings, that was until recently she was given a dagger by one of her friends that she had made in the town who decided to finally venture out. When she was given that dagger, she remembered how freeingn the game world had felt and decided to finally try and live life in the game of death.

Virtues:

Quick-Thinking: In chaotic situations Sairies can adapt and think on her feet with realitive ease. This helps with reacting to most oncoming stimuli and decide what's most important to be focusing on at that moment. Sairies mostly developped this trait from her extended and continued play of video games of all genres. This allowed her to get a feel for combat situations and help assess what needs to be prioritized.

Fast-Learner: Sairies has always been relatively good at picking up new things. It's something that's definitely helped in her video game endeavours by allowing her to learn new systems and mechanics with realtive ease. It's also helped her in her day to day life, not that that matters much anymore.

Caring: Deep beneath all of the hard exterior Sairies actually cares a whole lot about the people she considers friends. She shows this in subtle ways by doing thing they and more importantly she herself won't directly notice. She hides it from herself mostly because she's scared of feeling attached again.

Flaws:
Nervous: A part of what shook her up so heavily when the openning announcement was made. Sairies has a disposition to be overly worried about most things, even if she doesn't show it. This disposition can lead to her to be hesistant to take new steps or venture into dangerous territory without fully knowing what's going on or having someone reassure her. However, once she gets into the thick of things most of her doubts go away and she lets her natural reactions guide her instead of overthinking, It's just taking those first steps that cause problems.

Callous: While not actually uncaring, Sairies has a disposition to be cold and unwelcoming to people. This is mostly because she has abandonment issues and steems from the fact that she hasn't got over her father for leaving her when she thought they were so close. This results in Sairies naturally pushing people away or just being cold to them in an attempt for her not to get attached to anyone.

Fierce: When Sairies feels things she it becomes very hard to convince herself that the way she's feeling isn't actually the case. The girl lets her emotions guide her and what she feels she feel strongly. So if someone angers her, even if she comes to find out that it's by accident, she'll still feel anger for a time after, and before she reaches the conclusion that it was a mistake, Anger is wholely consuming for the person who she feels wronged her.
