PERSONALITY.
Tall, dark, and mysterious—that's one way to describe Frühling. She has the allure of something dangerous, like fangs and fire and blood on steel. Given those comparisons, she isn't for faint of heart. Both a military commander and previously an assassin, she is a cold, disciplined, and unreadable woman who carries herself with a high sense of pride, not only because she is self-confident but also because she knows she is powerful. (She warns Ernst that all who see her do not live to tell the tale.) Maintaining that power is among her primary motivations, its being the key to her survival, and perhaps her greatest value. In the structure of her city, she is an apex predator, a beast born to ruin and built to have no equal (though this last may be due to her eliminating all competition, including her "spare"). Even the immortal soldiers perfected by a mad scientist's hand are meant to fall under her rule, her order, and her blade—and what a strict one it is! So much so that her subordinates tremble at the prospect of disappointing her and earning a "demerit"—that is, death. Like her master Einstürzen, she has a low tolerance for imperfection (perhaps something she rubbed off), and it is part of her job to pull out the weeds.
Though seemingly quiet and composed, Frühling actually has a sour temper. Strike a nerve, and she strikes down. She favours challenge but approaches it smartly and carefully, understanding that intelligence often conquers strength. Cunning and calculating, she makes every move count, and if one way brings her closer to her objective, no matter how unpleasant or how initially bitter it might be, she would come out of her comfort zone, determined to rise above it. However, there are a few things she'd never do, such as pretending to be weak or missing a chance to condescend the weak and assert her superiority over them (example: Giovanni). Regardless, she does investigate before she initiates; then, when her plans are concrete, her methods are direct, relentless and riling if not outrightly cruel. She might play out sympathies and act out basic courtesies, but killers don't have hearts—or, at least, they no longer do.
Before "Frühling" was "Naoto," or "straight blade." It was a name given to her when she'd been nothing more than a lump of clay, when she had human vulnerabilities and no other goals than to grow stronger. Her wildness was pure, driven by fiery ambition and unsullied by emotional complexes. Her knife, though at times unsteady, had been "honest." Murata Fuyumine, or "Winter", had been her instructor as well as an old (and successfully kept) test subject. He taught her by example, but over time, without his realizing, he might have taught her more than just fighting. Eventually came the inevitable verdict: Einstürzen bored of the children. No matter how good the results they yielded, defeating every kind of nightmare thrown at them with monstrous speed and skill, she ordered their disposal. Fuyumine had grown attached to this batch and did not want to see them destroyed, and thus he, with Herbst, hatched a plan for escape, one that for some reason Naoto could not be included in. Left behind, she remained in hell's maw and executed that which she learned: survival.
No longer able to hold on to (relatively) noble virtues, it is assumed she casts away her old name together with her "heart" and scales the necessary obstacle to obtain the moniker and title "Frühling" (interestingly, "spring," the season that comes after winter), but in spite of burying that past and those feelings to become someone else—someone much stronger, just like she needed and wanted—the process has not covered all the cracks. She may hide them the same way she hides her scar, the one crossing from the upper side of her face and over her right eye, but those parts of Frühling grip onto a regrets that make her fragile. Failing to kill the second Naoto is just testament to her arrogance, but longing for Fuyumine made him her ghost. So when his name is invoked by Magato, it unsettles her to the point she chooses to abandon her iron-clad principles and postpone her task as Einstürzen's operative to seek him out, if just to confirm his death. Her weakness to him not only allows Fuyumine to thwart her sword but also to take her captive. When he watches her with pity, she asks him questions that reflect her secret grief: Why was I not chosen? Why did you love me? Why… are we still alive?
Such frailty, however, would sooner disintegrate before being revealed. Bottom line is Frühling is a woman who seeks dominance with utter power. She wraps herself in wolf's skin, mighty yet self-involved. It is implied she seeks to rebel and win her own battle in this war, her loyalty to Einstürzen potentially delicate (seeing as she had wanted to get rid of her but then decided to use her for her designs of longevity), but whatever agenda she has, she silently bides her time until the best opportunity presents itself. Cunning, remember? Her struggle to survive will not be cut short by a stroke of recklessness. Although lifting her head so high with hubris she overlooks her own flaws, she's tempered herself into as fine and formidable a weapon as possible. She is surely someone not many—if any at all—would feel safe around because the rumours are true: she doesn't offer much of a bark before she bites. |

TMI meme #1
Mun: Kei
Contact:
RP Pace: Inconsistent. Sometimes I'm there, sometimes I'm not; sometimes I'm too burnt out from real life that I lose my grip on a thread, but I'll do my best to get back on it after recovering. Bless backtaggers.
RP Style: I mostly like action tags because of the formatting, but prose is fine as well. (Great for mobile tagging!) I lean towards present tense but will try to match.
Backtagging: Occasional boomerangs if schedules coincide, but I can take 3-5 days before tagging back. Longer if I'm stuck or lose my groove because of RL interferences. In those cases I appreciate being reminded to tag you back as I may leave a thread 2+ weeks and/or indeterminately. I can try to prioritize too upon request.
RP preferences: A general outline/goals help direct my flow, but leaving room for creativity makes things exciting. I am for the most part relaxed on methods—just don't forget to use entry tags, please and thank you.
Language style: Depends on the situation and character, though I lean towards the more explicit. I personally like grunge and freeform. You know, the squishedwordsitalicsB O L D, though… I don't do it as much as I used to. More selective on where I sprinkle that flavour.
How do you feel about underage, xeno/non-human or other unusual characters?: Unsure about xeno because of unfamiliarity, but if the player is willing to guide me, I'm open to some instances of it. As for underaged characters, 18+ for me in general but personality matters more than age.
Anything else: Don't hesitate to nudge me multiple times! I honestly forget about threads or oftentimes leave a tag halfway and… lose the tab. So if you haven't heard from me in over 2 weeks, message me!
CHARACTER PREFERENCES
Full name: Campanella Frühling / previously "Naoto."
Age: Headcanon 28-30.
Birthdate: Headcanon 04.02
Zodiac sign: Headcanon Aries.
Height: 5'8" + heels (2.5" and up)
Weight: 60-65 kg / 132-143 lbs.
Build: On the thinner side of lean but quite fit because she maintains a portion of her military workouts; however, her prowess is more speed and technique rather than strength and vitality.
Appearance: In recent canon…
Body hair: Virtually none. Waxes once a month; leaves a strip or faint triangular patch.
Scent: Ironing starch, fresh laundry. Perfume of choice is woody (sandalwood, amber). Only used when working.
Clothes: Wardrobe sample.
Scars: Prominent laceration on the right side of her face, beside her eye, which had been damaged though presumably corrected/replaced because that's what scientists in her time do. She covers it with her hair.
Piercings: None.
Tattoos: None.
Other bodily markings: Maybe a few light scars on her hands and arms, bottoms of her feet from her training days. Recently a bullet wound on her right thigh and whipping scars on her backside.
Other notable physical details: Piercing(!!!) ice blue eyes.
Thighs don't touchWide hips. Thin lips.Current level: Still Level 1 because I'm too lazy to upgrade her pffft.
Feelings on said level: Somewhere between resentful and ambivalent. At this point, she'd love to have her sword back. That's all.
Residence: Building 8, Apartment #303.
Occupation: Nights at Masamune. Sometimes (secretly) paints walls at construction sites.
Vices of choice: Since she can't kill things without going to re-ed, Frühling drinks a lot. Hard liquor, of course. Has a strong tolerance. Occasionally mixes. She dislikes smoking for the smell and would either a) take away the cigs or b) send them out the door (or window).
Hygienic routine: Showers once a day; washes down after any particular messy sessions. Conditions her hair every other time. Files her nails every two weeks; toes every four. Mouthwash > toothpaste. Takes a bath sometimes… it's a relaxing way to nurse hangovers. Because she doesn't grow much body hair, shaving happens rarely.
Other daily habits: Half hour of calisthenics every morning. Visits the gym twice or thrice a week and does strength exercises.
Sleeping habits: Where she'd hardly sleep at all, she has now developed a tendency to power nap. Unless utterly exhausted or drunk out of her mind, she won't sleep past 3-4 hours. No nightmares, but sometimes she can zone out and see things. Mind tricks.
Spoken language(s): English? German? Japanese?? No, I'm kidding on the last one. Going with either of the first two… or some fictional dialect of both combined.
Voice: No canon examples, but it's something husky and sharp and womanly and authoritative. See Diane Kruger for accent.
Sexual preference: No specific orientation. Sex is sex, but she'd have more likely done stuff solo. Ariel hasn't changed anything more than provide a selection and purpose for intercourse. The partners she has tend to be either powerful or of similar characteristics.
Where they fall on the D/s spectrum: Dominant for sure, but after re-ed she's less stubborn about bottoming.
Cup size/Penis size: 32DD.
Pubic area: Brazilian wax with a trimmed triangular patch.
Circumcised?: N/A.

Partner(s): Frühling doesn't do attachments, but
Size preference: The hottest cocks on the block!!!!11! No kidding. Thick > long. From the ladies, a good behind is a treat.
Preferred method of sex: Foreplay involves tension building via fights, physical or intellectual; then, if they've impressed her, she and whoever can bang.
Frequency: Daily… multiple times. But she tries to have days no sexual activity just to give her body a break.
Masturbation: In those in between days! Uses a vibrator and own fingers.
Favorite position: Cowgirl or, uh, standing doggystyle??
Favorite place to have sex: Against a wall…!! Or hanging off the edge of furniture.
Favorite kinks/sex acts: Breathplay huff puff. Rough sex, orgasm denial, marking… pegging, but that hasn't happened yet/enough.
Kinks they've tried any hated: Hasn't tried it yet but anything anal. Bathroom kinks are a no…
Favorite toys: Wrist restraints and gags. Flogs are great too, and so are glass dildos… but realistically she doesn't use any outside work at Masamune.
Sensitive areas: Scalp, lower back (along her spine), inner thighs.
Turn-ons: Power, strength. White hair does well if combined with either.
Turn-offs: Weakness and emotional intimacy.
No-no places/triggers: Scars… 1) on the right side of her face, 2) beltwhipping on her rear, 3) bullet scar on left thigh (though this one is negligible)
Something they want to try but haven't before: Suspension play.
