Name: Arilee Selvig
Nickname: Ari, Eerie, Lee
Age: 17
Birthday: October 31st
Sign: Scorpio
Gemstone: Beryl
Blood Type: O
Fav. Food: Turkey BLT on toasted sourdough with melted brie, Craisins, and Moose Tracks ice cream
Hated Food: Anything involving pork or red meat.
School: St-Magsdalena's Seminary
Hobbies:
Surfing - It doesn't matter that DC is landlocked. Arilee will find a way to get herself and her board to the ocean at least once every two weeks. Her real mother taught her how to surf when she was tiny. And since the crash that killed her mom, surfing is the best way she has of reconnecting with those precious memories. Unfortunately, it's because her dearest stepmother decided that she was a hooligan and embarrassment to her family that she was shipped off to DC and St. Mags and away from those peace-giving waves. As far as Arilee is concerned, the forced move was simply a tiny set back. Once she's done with school, she'll be setting up permanent residence on a nice beach and surfing to her heart's content.
Skateboarding - For those weekends where Arilee can't escape on a plane to some surfing hotspot, there's always skateboarding. Sure, she's gotten beat up a little when some trick goes wrong, but that's all part of the fun, right? Hey, at least it keeps her from sitting in her dorm room and going stir crazy. You wouldn't like Arilee when she's suffering from cabin fever.
Cooking - Arilee considers herself an enlightened eater. Everything organic, free-range and made fresh to order. Due to her particular tastes, she's taken to making use of whatever kitchen on the school premises she can get her hands on. Arilee's body is a temple, and that temple only wants the good s**t. And the best way of getting that s**t is simply through kitchen experiments. After all, cooking is just science for hungry people.
Dancing - We're not talking ballroom or ballet here. Arilee enjoys going out to whatever clubs will admit her, whenever she can. Once there, she will happily dance the night away, moving to her own beat and shaking what nature gave her.
Virtues:
Adventurous - Whatever her faults, no one has ever been able to accuse Arilee of being afraid to try new things. It doesn't matter if it's food or a new boarding trick, she's willing to give it a go. And even more than trying the new things, Arilee loves to try the things that, to her knowledge, no one has ever tried to do before. Someday, she plans to do a cageless dive with a Great White and film it. Life's too short to not get out there and do things.
Confident - It's a fine thing to feel completely happy and comfortable in your own skin, isn't it? Arilee sure thinks so. She has the attitude and the glow that come from being completely sure of herself and her choices in life. Sure, she might have a little more meat on her bones than some, and her teeth might be a little crooked in front, but there's nothing wrong with it. She knows her own worth and is more than happy to prove it. And to those skinny girls with the perfect tans and the perfect teeth whom she regularly beats out when it comes to the cute boys, she has some advice. Stop trying to be what Society thinks you should. Just be happy with who and what you are, enjoy yourself and stop worrying so much about whether or not that dress makes your a** look big.
Personal Integrity - Arilee's morals and ethics come from her real mom. Because, let's face it, seeing your dad take up with and marry his little cow of a P.A. mere weeks after his wife was killed in a car crash, is kind of NOT the best set of standards to hold yourself to. No, she much prefers to keep her integrity intact. She doesn't lie, cheat or steal. She's never cheated on any of her significant others. She will come right out and tell you what you can reasonably expect from her. If you ask her for help and it is help that doesn't go against her own ethics, she will do everything in her power to help you. She won't do anything that would result in someone or something totally innocent being harmed. She respects honesty and honor when she finds them and will treat those she comes into contact with accordingly. People she admires are treated with respect and deference. People she finds repugnant are shunted to the very bottom of her list of acquaintances. And if those ethics make her unpopular, that's the other person's problem. No regrets.
Flaws:
Reckless - Though she doesn't really know it consciously, the death of her mother kind of left Arilee a little messed up. And it wasn't the kind of messed up that makes itself obvious. Sure, Arilee is brave and willing to try everything at least once, but that doesn't mean that everything she's tried was a good idea. Like the time she went out surfing in a lightning storm. Or that time she went swimming, at night, without telling anyone where she was going and nearly drowned when the current caught her. Arilee is reckless with her own safety. Sure, she'll make all the right preparations for things, but she always, always ends up forgetting to do or bring something important that will help keep her safe. And you can bet that if she does that cageless dive, she will either: a) go into the water during her TotM or after cutting herself somehow, b) forget to bring her shock stick or shark repellant, c) forget to tell her safety spotters when she is going and go out there alone, or d) do her swim when there's a ******** colony of seals frolicking a few meters away from her.
Judgemental - Having a personal code of ethics and honor is a good thing. But not necessarily when it is combined with a reckless and impulsive personality. Hi. Meet Arilee. She tends to form snap impressions of people that are nigh impossible to alter later. While this might be a seemingly small thing, those initial judgements every interaction Arilee might have with people in the future. If she decides that you're a great person, you're golden. Arilee will excuse away any less than noble conduct as a fluke or something that circumstances sadly required at the time. If she decides you're terrible, well. Good luck ever getting her to think otherwise. A great example of this is her stepmother. Due to the haste of the courtship (and that some of said courtship had to have occured as Arilee's mother was dying in a hospital), her stepmother is forever classified as a lying, evil whore. The woman could become a nun, single-handedly solve world hunger, cure AIDS and create a lasting world peace. And none of that will ever change Arilee's mind once it has been made up to see her stepmother as a villian.
You know how the Red Cross uses little colored tags to identify who to help first in a disaster? Arilee does something like that in her head with every person she meets. Only it's not so much a disaster assistance rating as it is her passing an everlasting, black-and-white judgement on people.
Overly Impulsive - Arilee is not very good at waiting and planning things out fully. Typically, she will simply go do what she wants, when she wants. If she wants to go out dancing and it's already past school curfew? She escapes through the window. Very little thought is put into her plans when she decides to do something. She simply looks for the best option and goes with it. Logic, rules and safety be damned. She is very much a loose cannon and in terms of her standing in the DMC, about the only one who has any hope of controlling her is Princess Ares. In terms of her civilian life, she will listen to the police rather more than say, a school official. She tries to obey the rules, but sometimes, the rules get in the way of her having a good time or properly doing her job. At these times, rules be damned. It's time to wing that mother.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Bright Orange-y Pink (think the color you get in really awesome sunrise/sets)
Hair: White-blonde, slightly past shoulder length, style should be like the new Gaia Fancy Mohawk hairstyle
Face: Heart shaped face, average sized ears, typically has apricot colored lip gloss on.
Body: 5'11", 160-170 lbs, curvy but in good shape, fair skin with slight tan (she uses sunscreen regularly)
Other: Has multiple ear piercings in both ears as well as one eyebrow piercing and a navel piercing. Prefers gold jewelry with bright jewel tone accents.
side note: Natsu is doing this one.

Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Mobbing Call
Effects - Sailor Chariklo emits a harsh, squawking call accompanied by her target feeling as if they are being buffeted about the head by a large pair of wings. Able to perform twice per battle. The target will not be seriously injured, although feeling somewhat dazed is common. Only able to target one person at a time (within approx. 2ft. radius) and the attack duration is about 10-20 seconds. Should target run, the attack will follow them for about 2 seconds.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Mobbing Cry
Effects - Same as the above, only now the call seems to come from more than one throat and it feels as through a small swarm of wings are attacking. Able to perform three time per battle if needed. The attack is now able to encompass 2 to 3 people if they are not standing too far apart (about a 5'-7' radius). The targets are now in danger of being knocked silly as well as painful bruising around the head and shoulders. Also, the wings take on just the barest, tiniest shimmering definition of shape. Attack duration is now 30-45 seconds. Also, should the main target of the attack try to escape, the attack will follow them for about 5 seconds.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Mobbing Cacophany
Effects - Same as above. In addition to the swarm of buffeting wings, the target will now also feel as if they are being slashed and pecked at with beaks and talons. Able to perform twice per battle and can encompass up to 5 people over a 20ft radius. The target will be able to see the shimmering outline of a wing or beak or taloned foot, but never a full shape. Target is now the happy recipient of bruising and deep, slashing wounds, again all aimed around the shoulders and head area. Attack duration is 45 seconds to 1 minute. And should the target escape that 20' radius, the attack will follow them for about 10 seconds.

Most of the civilian side looks just fine!
I would, however, like to see some of the contradictions in Personal Integrity and Prioritized Loyalty. Perhaps a sentence in the flaw that states that those that act against her personal values fall to the end of the list? That would provide some IC reasoning for why she'll let a dog attack her father/step-mom, since she considers them liars and cheaters.
Overly impulsive needs some more fleshing out. Will she do what she wants, even with authorities telling her no directly? How will this effect her behavior in the DMC?
POWERED
Durations will need to be added to all of her attacks. How long are they buffeted by these wings? Keep in mind that a majority of battles last, at most, 5 minutes.
For the super attack, please add a radius to define 'too far apart'. How close must the others be standing to the main target?
If someone runs outside of the radius, are they no longer effected by the attack?

The way it's written, Prioritized Loyalty doesn't really work for me as a flaw. It has just as good a chance being a positive trait for others as it does a negative one, depending on who you are. To me it essentially seems to state that she'll go out of her way to help friends and hapless neighbors, but not her enemies -- which is pretty human, and also pretty neutral as far as character traits though.
This aspect of Chariklo needs to be depicted in a way that's more overtly negative. Since she's very involved with her personal ethics, and also has a tendency to be impulsive, is she impulsive with her thoughts as well? She could be extremely Judgemental of others and be difficult to convince away from her opinions of others, and by extension her actions towards them.
ON SENSHI:
When you state that the attack can 'follow' someone in the Super upgrade, do you mean that someone can escape from her basic attack? It's definitely encouraged to include some way for someone to dodge the attack, but the idea that someone can just up and step away from her basic attack once it hits them seems a little underpowered, honestly. If you could clarify this bit, I can give the attacks another look. XD

Just a really quick note, but...Quote: Skateboarding - It's not often that one sees an almost adult woman out on a skateboard looking exhilarated rather than terrified.
