Phoenix Jewel Hope

Phoenix stayed silent as the girl talked to her, staring at the ground. holding her sword tightly in her hand, her nails digging into whatever palm that wasn't covered by her sword handle, she didn't exactly move from her spot as Nari got closer. hearing that she wasn't special hurt her, although it was true, her case wasn't special at all, hundreds and  thousands of players lost loved ones or family members, but why would she care if she lost something so close to her, it was selfish but she didn't care about what happened to others, she wanted to stick with her friend, she was the only thing she could care about. "I..I don't know..a part of me just wants to die here..to be with them..but im afraid of dying..I want to live..but I don't think i'll ever find someone like my friend.." she said, slowly shaking her head, she worked at a bar but it didn't matter, she was probably fired by now for not being well, showing up to her job! "I don't know what to do anymore.." It seemed she had given up, although it was like a small flame inside of her heart, keeping on that hope and determination, to beat this game. but how would she beat the game, its what her friend would want anyways. falling onto her knees and looked at the ground. her multicolored eyes looking at the ground. she wanted to get back up but it felt like she didn't have the strength to. she wanted to continue walking and fighting but she didn't have the motivation or determination to, She looked pathetic in other eyes, to fall to her knees and seem so weak minded, but I don't think telling her that would help very much in her situation, to Nari she's probably seen this plenty of times, a player falling to their knees and losing all hope. it was probably something pretty common between players too, Phoenix wasn't exactly anyone special, her circumstances weren't special either.

Phoenix stayed silent, looking away from Nari as she fidgeted with her clothing a bit "they're rare huh.." Phoenix mumbled, looking at the ground, her eye brows furrowed a bit "why did my friend die to them then..if they're rare or mostly wiped out, then how come my friend died by their hands?" she said, she seemed quite upset now "I dont think these "purges" checked hard enough if my friend still died out there!" she said, holding up her sword that she had gotten from a quest "my friend died for this sword, all for some stupid quest!" she vented out to Nari, she seemed confused, frustrated, saddened. she hadn't been able to vent to anyone or really talk to anyone since her friend died. she felt like giving up "Thats..why i never wanted to leave outside of the safe area..im probably not even strong enough to do anything everyone else can either." She said, staring at the ground. she looked like she was on the verge of crying, but she tried to stop herself "i..don't want to be weak anymore..but how can I if never even helped my friend..if i never left the stupid safe area."

Phoenix seemed a bit disappointed that the kitsune moved away from her, slowly shrugging a little "I guess.." A quest..it made her feel quite sad from something "catch up with frontlines?..mmh." Phoenix began to think for a moment before shrugging "Im..not a big fan of the frontlines..I assume there are those uh..PKers, isn't there?" She said to Nari in a gentle voice. staring at the grass as she stopped for a moment in her tracks, moving her hand to her arm "Maybe I should just stay here..its much more safe.." She seemed quite uneasy, about going outside the town of beginnings "Have..you ever lost someone, to a PKer?" She said to Nari, lifting her head slightly, although continued to stand there "or met someone who was?" She said, her eyes drifting up slightly to watch Nari, seeming a bit cautious, it felt like an irrational fear, she didn't exactly trust other players either way.

Phoenix shrugged and nodded, slowly kneeling down and attempted to pet the kitsune familiar, if the kitsune nipped at her or moved away, she respected this decision and moved her hand away, if she were allowed to pet it, she just gave some gentle rubs and scratches on the head. looking over at the gates and decided to follow after Nari. passing the Merv guard person, hearing her question she slowly nodded before switching to a shrug. "Well..me and a uh..good friend did stuff outside of this place.." She didn't seem very comfortable about something and looked away, a frown spread across her face, following alongside Nari, she didn't say anything until Nari spoke up again about the frontline "the frontline..i dont think i could ever go there..not cause im weak but..just other reasons.." Again she didn't reiterate but decided to add on "personal reasons..stuff like that." she said, although she seemed a bit saddened by something, she was also fairly calm, probably trying to not spook the other player or something..

Phoenix watched as she shifted, moving away from her just a bit in case she didn't try to attack her or something.. "Ah well..the mayor..right. First lessons..i don't think i've done it yet." She said, putting a hand on her chin as she went into thought, hearing the girls words about traveling with another person made her nod, she felt quite lonely so some company would be nice..seeing her beam a friendly and welcoming smile made the tall one smile a little in return before looking at the kitsune "may i uh..pet your familiar? it looks really cute.." She said, waiting to get permission from Nari before she touched the kitsune, looking at the gates that went to the fields full of enemies and such..filling Phoenix with a bit of unease..

She slowly shrugged, looking around a bit before looking back at the girl, slowly deciding to speak up once again "Ah well..I could tell you weren't a uhh..newer player like myself." She said lightly and looked at her familiar curiously before back at Nari "27th floor? i feel like i can't get passed the 1st one..i've been down here for so long that everyone left me behind." she said with a soft frown and sighed gently 

"ah well i uh..was trying to find someone who could help me out and get better gear and stuff..but if you're busy then its fine." She said to Nari, giving a shrug once again before standing up properly "Its a bit lonely round here.." she mumbled, rubbing the back of her head a bit "but if you're busy then you can go, not like i can leave this place anyway." she smiled a bit at Nari before giving her a headpat. looking around a little curiously, the girls different colored eyes not seeming to show much err..emotion? she just seemed tired.

Phoenix had been sitting around in the first floor, she hadn't been really doing anything except do quests and get enough XP and gear to go through the floors smoothly. She slowly sighed and looked around the empty main floor with the occasional rare player wandering around who was also new to the game. Phoenix to an NPC to accept a quest and looked around before spotting Nari, she didn't know who she was but saw the familiar and such and squinted a little. most likely a player from the higher floors coming back to the main floor? she was pretty confused to say the least..looking around a little before wandering over. the 6'5 pseudo-wolf lady with a fairly generous form approached Nari, her different colored eyes looking down at her curiously, she didn't say anything for a good few seconds before slowly speaking up

"Are you a new player?" she asked, it seemed she already knew the answer but just wanted to confirm her suspicions. Phoenix herself was a new player so she was still a bit lost, Staring down at her but decided to kneel down to her height to get a better look at her. her yello and blue eyes looking into Nari's for a moment before looking away a little. "im a new player anyways.." she said with a bit of a frown before her face went to neutral and she stared back at Nari. "What floor are you on anyways? im only on this floor..i haven't exactly progressed enough like everyone else..' she said with a sigh and shrugged, her black and white hair seeming quite interesting, yes its natural. just like the rest of herr. "i wish i hadn't come here with my uh..friend."

Background:

Phoenix Hope was raised in a large city of British Columbia in Victoria a place filled with lush forests, jungles, and beaches that gives it the nickname “The Paradise of Paradises”. The city itself was the capital, called Victoria. She was raised by a single father, his name was Samuels D. Hope. Her mother was known to her, but she wouldn't make contact with her and she grew up without a mother, but it didn't make her life tough. The way her father taught her was a way that she would know what life was about. If she got hurt, he taught her how to deal with it. If she stole something, she has to do something with it before returning it, if she broke something, fix it by yourself. She was never spanked or slapped, if she talked back, she wouldn't be talked to for weeks on end, till she broke. When in adolescence, she was more or less taught by her friends and female teachers, her father just tried his best to teach her what he knew of females. After Middle school and High school. She obviously went to college. She took four years into it, eventually graduating from school entirely at the age of Twenty-One years old. She has moved back and forth between towns And would eventually land herself down in japan!, finding a job quickly and finally settling down till she can move again! But for now, she doesn't see a reason why, after a couple of years she had become a bar worker instead. Although during 2022 a new VRMMO had come out with amazing technology of NerveGear, having saved up money, she was able to buy such equipment, finding a place to lay down comfortably, aka her bed and put on the helmet. Putting on and creating her character and entering the world of the MMO. at first it was amazing, wandering around watching everyone having fun and exploring before she was teleported to the center with all the other places, being explained that they were unable to leave the game and had to get to the 100th level and kill the boss, seeming a bit freaked she tried to log out but the button had been removed, until she noticed that she also saw what she looked like as well! Seeming spooked as she watched everyone scared, crying, running around. It was pure panic and chaos. All Phoenix could do was just stand there and watch as people panicked, trying to escape the game, some jumped off high things head first and died to wake up, their bodies bursting into shards after they died. Earlier before this had happened she had joined her friend Kaida Hamamoto "XIRisingFlowerVI" from various other MMO's outside of VR she joined her friend in the VRMMO SAO, at first they had eachother..then during a quest they had found a treasure room! It was a pretty difficult quest they had to finish for a pretty good sword that Phoenix desperately needed although as she wandered in with her friend. they were ambushed by various enemies, trying to defend themselves from the ambush by PKers, Phoenix defending herself with her sword and watched as 2 others ganged up on Kaida and stabbed her from the front and back, watching in horror as she watched Kaida burst into shards. grabbing what she needed and quickly fled. she wasn't a slow runner by any means and just ran back to the 'safe area' to cash in her quest. she hadn't even realized what had happened and waited for her friend respawn, although she knew she was permanently dead..she waited by the city center with the lists of dead players and realized her friends name was on it. struck in disbalief as she slowly moved her hand onto the list and began to cry. she had gotten a sword but it was all for nothing it felt like. she was deeply troubled by such things, how could humans do this and just get away with it like that? it was sickening..she wanted to end this stupid game once and for all, to get to floor 100. its something she must do, to save everyone from this sick game.

Virtues

1. [Endearing - She is quite the tease, sometimes. Usually having a smirk on her face whenever complimenting women, or men, or even just saying a rather, explicit joke to them in public and will also be fairly forward about anything.]
2. [Kind, Motherliness - She is rather nice and kind to the fact she is very happy to talk to almost anyone. She is very mother-like and heavily caring, often gently caressing others when in need. She is happy to give pats and often watches over others. Also, she loves babysitting.]
3. [Social - She is good at going out and talking to strangers. She is no stranger herself to chatting and it's one of her very favorite things! She loves talking to people, and she enjoys giving them compliments. She also is quite the smooth talker herself, though not good, more likely pretty decent at it.s.]

Flaws

1. [Sacrificial - Phoenix is quite..sacrificial. She'll throw herself into danger whenever her friends, family or loved ones is getting attacked. Unless she's restrained, she'll continue to do this anyways.]
   [Uncertain Feeling - Although Phoenix is Social and Kind to others, she’s generally not good at first impressions and will be fairly distant and silent. Most likely something from her past had transpired for this to occur although it's not hard to bring out her other traits. She's generally timid when it comes to sparring with other players or enemies.]
   [Lazy -Phoenix can come across as lazy and unmotivated. Although she can find some sort of motivation, she needs some kind of push forward and direction and outside help to get her moving again.]

• Origin: 
  Phoenix's sword was created after the death of her best friend Kaida. Phoenix at this time was also in her stages of grief when she was given the sword from a pretty difficult quest. After Phoenix had acquired such a sword, she felt disappointed, angry and upset. not because she didn't feel like she deserved it, but because her friend Kaida wasn't there to see her get such a sword. it was one of a kind after all.
