Name: Espada
Sex: Female
Age: 15
Race: Hispanic
Sexuality: Pansexual
Personality: Having grown up with nerdy interests and a chubby physique, Espada is a shy geek with body image issues. Meek and timid, Espada is softspoken and rarely speaks her mind. She's introverted and feels very uncomfortable talking with other people. Stricken with doubts about her self-worth and a lack of any self-esteem, Espada often givens up before she's even begun. But her soft, gentle eyes belie an unbreakable will. Espada is compassionate and kind when she actually works up the courage to speak up. No many how tough things get, she refuses to cry and knows when to step up and get things done. While unconfident and cautious by nature, she can be rather affectionate to those who've earned her trust.
Appearance: Espada stands at a meager 4'9" (145cm) tall and weighs 99lbs (45kg). She is short and petite, though possesses a bit of definite chubbiness around her middle and thighs. Her hair is jet black and wavy, coming down to her shoulder blacks and hanging in front of her face to partially hide it. Her eyes are amber-colored while her skin is a mocha color, showing her Latina heritage. Espada is best described as an "oppai loli," as her breasts are disproportionately large compared to her body size. She's a 30DDD/F-cup and she tries everything she can to downplay her assets. She wears round, thick glasses in real life and continues to do so in SAO as an in-game accessory.
History: Rosalina is the middle of five children. Her parents and four grandparents run a restaurant in Mexico called the "High and Lopez Eatery," a family-run restaurant where Rosalina worked as a waitress for most of her childhood. Being an anime and JRPG nerd, Rosalina Lopez jumped at the chance to travel abroad to Japan as an exchange student from her home country of Mexico. She learned Japanese for it too. When she arrived, she found a rather xenophobic culture that found her skin color weird. Still, Rosalina tried to make the most of it but was surprised just how much "different" was considered a bad thing among Japan's schoolgirls. While she missed out on the closed beta of Sword Art Online, she saved up enough and stood in line next to a bandana-wearing boy and his friends just to buy one of the first hard copies in stores. She made her username Espada, Spanish for "sword," and designed her avatar to be everything she wasn't. Tall, beautiful, flat-chested. Then Kayaba Akihiko turned SAO into a death game and reverted everyone's avatar's to their real-life appearances.
Rosalina, now Espada, spent the first month of gameplay mulling about in Starting City, afraid to venture out. She eventually realized that she couldn't spent the entire time moping and cautiously ventured out into the world. Espada played it safe, grinding on weaker mob but going it solo at first due to her social anxiety. It was this cautious nature that caused her to meet Squeaker and become a Beast Tamer, as she noticed the Tiny Batty wasn't attacking, so she fed it an apple slice she was eating.
She slowly worked her way up the floors, occasionally partnering with some Parties for added safety until she got used to the layout of a new floor. She found most parties were more interested in using her as a mascot due to her Tamed Beast and oppai loli physique. It wasn't until about three months ago that Espada got caught in an Anti-Crystal trap in a dungeon on the 55th floor. She was rescued by Hero's Shade, who took her to the Lantern Guildhall. After a brief chat with the intimidating Pluto, she was invited to join Vagabond's Lantern. She reluctantly accepted and hasn't regretted it once... maybe. These are pretty noisy people, after all.

Name: Humble Ryujin
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Race: Japanese
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Personality:
Ryu is a quiet person, often the person to speak up when logic or reasoning is needed to make a decision. Due to his solitary lifestyle, he has no problems in being the lone wolf when playing SAO and has in fact, done a lot of what he's accomplished on his own. As a result of his lifestyle, Ryu tries to be as self-sufficient as he can, rarely ever asking for help from others unless he truly needs it.
That being said, he's a pretty nice guy when he's working with a group. He always does as he is required and he often willingly gives up loot to lower level players when he has no pressing need of it. He also does not consider himself a good player, though his measured DPS in dungeons indicates that he's actually quite adept at it. It's mainly because of this that he earned his moniker of "Humble Ryujin", due to him never once putting himself before others.
When not fighting monsters or participating in raids, Ryu actually allows himself to get lost in the simple things of the game, such as fishing and cooking. He actually enjoys cooking greatly, both in real life and in the game, which is why he's often at his house making something good. He has learned the value of patience through his dedication of mastering the fishing skill. Finally, he plays an ocarina in real life, which is why he does so in the game as well. Needless to say, he's pretty good with it.
Due to not having too much physical interaction with others, Ryu gets nervous around pretty women, though his unwavering kindness doesn't disappear. In fact, it sometimes overwrites his nervous mind. He could be nervous around a woman but if she asks him to cook something for her, it's as if his mind completely ignores the fact that she's attractive as he happily fulfills her request. A running gag between his friends is that he's the true definition of an otaku and as a result, they think he needs a waifu to be complete.
Appearance:
Stands at 5' 8" and weighs 135lbs. Has spiky black hair with several bangs hanging over his eyes. Has deep red eyes and looks clearly of Japanese descent. Is relatively toned, though nothing too special from the average joe. Has skin about a shade or two lighter than cream. Tends to alternate between a completely clean shaven look to very light stubble that looks almost like 5'o'clock shadow.
History:
Originally just calling himself Ryujin in the cyberverse, he was eventually convinced to change his identity to Humble Ryujin by his friends because of how helpful he is to other players in any game he plays. As a result of this, he began to go by Ryu instead of the name in its entirety, though it doesn't stop his friends from teasing him. He was mostly the shut in type of person, spending most of his time in front of a computer screen from an early age. He excelled at school, especially in IT and English and graduated high school with honors. He then went to Osaka to pursue a Master's degree in Information Technology, where he successfully completed two years of it. It was around this time that his friends told him about a game called Sword Art Online. Considering that he's a big fan of MMORPG type games, he snagged himself a copy but opted out of the beta due to his attempts to reduce his workload at school.
After the stranding, which resulted in the deaths of multiple people, Ryu was a little hesitant to jump headfirst into it because...you know, dying means actual death. However, because he was such a quick learner and diligent worker, he ended up forcing himself to excel and stay alive. Giving into what his friends kept urging him to do before it all started, he got into SAO and fell in love with the game despite its huge risks. He managed to survive rather well and never once tried to fight another player in fear of accidentally killing them or getting killed himself. He didn't join a guild or anything of the sort, instead opting for a solo experience unless his friends were nearby, in which case he would join them for dungeons or PvP duels. Due to his style of play, his friends began to call him a "Dex Fag" due to his preference of using speed and finesse to win fights instead of raw strength. To prevent his friends from annoying him, he began to add strength to his build, though he still primarily focused on agility. His style of play has helped him stay alive and yet somehow, he managed to be enough at ease to pick up hobbies in game.
His lifestyle in game soon began to resemble a swift assassin who indulges quite heavily in the finer parts of the game, such as cooking and fishing. His current goal is to finally join a guild, as he knows that there isn't too much more he can do on his own. After a year and a half of playing, he decided it was finally time for him to experience the MMO part of this epic RPG.
Level: 75
Stat Build: Agility Focused. Only put in a few points into strength in order to prevent himself from being a "Dex Fag" in the eyes of his friends.
Skill Build: Assassin
Skills:
One-Handed Dagger: 598/1000
Blade Throwing: 487/1000
Martial Arts: 343/1000
Leather Equipment: 550/1000
Sprint: 707/1000

Hiding: 802/1000
Cooking: 677/1000
Fishing: 650/1000
Musical Instrument: 689/1000
Equipment:
When going out into the world, Ryu wears black leather armor that covers just about every inch of his skin minus his face, neck and fingers. The armor looks a lot like a ninja's usual garb, except that he has added a red cloak around his neck that bears the Japanese symbol of Dragon on it. Ryu also wears modified boots, which are customized to reduce the sound he makes when moving. He also carries a satchel attached to his belt, which he uses to exclusively hold all of his kunai for throwing. Finally, he also has a mask that he can drag up to cover his face if he wishes to. He normally only does this when he's in dungeons, to make it easier to hide with less of his skin exposed.
When not fighting or chilling in dungeons, Ryu wears the bottom half of his armor, but removes the top half in favor of a long sleeved black shirt. Removing the top half also reveals a necklace that he earned from a dungeon. Sometimes, he'll remove the armor and replace it with some blue trousers, but that's rare considering that he doesn't spend a lot of his nights at his home.
His primary weapon is a dagger which he earned from a group quest. The dagger's name is Shadowfang and he's stuck with this dagger due to how much he likes its model. It's a bit longer than the standard dagger and it has a distinctly sharp tip which makes it perfect for swift stabs. The dagger gets its name from the elite NPC that drops it, named Uru The Relentless Hunter. It is his favorite weapon since he got it at level 72 and he constantly works to enhance it. So far, he's managed to make it to +6 and he was lucky enough to get the version of Shadowfang that prioritizes Sharpness, Quickness and Durability, the three stats he cares about most in a weapon. It is his current goal to get the dagger to +10 before he decides to seek another one.
Relationships:
Pluto
The leader of Vagabond's Lantern is an impressive, yet terrifying individual due to his scary face. However, he deeply respects Pluto due to his great skill in cooking as well as his fatherly instincts. He looks up to Pluto as an example of a true leader. He has visited the tavern several times in the past, but never got to actually meet the big man in charge. Nevertheless, Ryu is more than aware of the man's reputation and as such, approaches him with respect despite not being part of the guild. Ryu wouldn't ever call Pluto by a fatherly nickname apart from perhaps "old-man", provided Pluto doesn't mind it. Else, his name will suffice everytime.
Flora
The mother figure of Vagabond's Lantern is a source of both warmth as well as irritation for Ryu. He has seen her tease many of the members of the guild while sitting around a table and having a drink and knows that if he joined, he too would be victim to that. Still, he respects her just as much as he does Pluto and is aware of them being a couple in-game as well as their intentions to meet in real life. He would likely go to her for advice about being around others, seeing as he doesn't have all that much experience with that.
Morn Rower
Is aware of his womanizing tendencies, but doesn't know enough about the man to really make any judgements. If he truly is that much of a womanizer, Ryu probably wouldn't hang around him much unless he truly has to as he finds the habit sickening.
Cloud
Ryu has visited Cloud in the past to see what he has available for sale though he hasn't really bought much apart from some armor for one of his friends. In the brief time they speak, Cloud teased him by always referring to him light-heartedly as "Strangah". It's a joke that both of them enjoy.
Rain
Her rage is all but famous around the guildhouse and Ryu has been there enough to be aware of it. Though he hasn't interacted too much with her, he likes how sweet of a mother she is to Sunny. He also respects her skill in Drug Mixing, sometimes even contemplating asking her to brew him a few things for the field but never quite getting around to asking for it.
Sunny
The child that runs around the guildhouse, tending to customers and maintaining the happiness about the place is someone Ryu thoroughly enjoys seeing. She is the one who serves him most times when he comes into the tavern. He's gone there enough for Sunny to know his usual, which is a bottle of cold sake and a salmon sandwich. He often times brings in the salmon he catches out in the field and gives it to her for Pluto to cook with. He sees her as a little bundle of joy and is especially kind to her whenever she asks him to tell her about his adventures.
Pinklord
Indifferent about his fascination for the color pink, Ryu has contemplated more than once on seeking his assistance with his armor. However, due to not finding a particular outfit he likes enough yet, he's avoided much contact with the extravagant tailor. Still, he respects his skills and knows that he would likely go to him for help with enhancing his armor should he ever find the outfit he's looking for. Pinklord does note that the red cloak that Ryu has looks "very traditional, in a elegant way".
Touch Me
Despite being slightly confused at his name, Ryu has come to him several times for quotes on furniture for his house. He finds it amusing that such a hard working carpenter is normally seen sleeping. He likes his work and wants to do business with him one day when he finally gets around to getting that double bed...
Xer0
Has a very similar relationship to Cloud, only that she amusingly refers to Ryu as "mate" instead of "strangah". Ryu is one of the very few exceptions to her anti-social rule, simply because she gets such a kick out of calling him in a similar mannerism as Cloud.
Goldman
The bartender and Ryu have a relatively long history as he used to pop in at the counter for drinks at one point. Now that he sits at the table, Goldman always has his usual prepared for his arrival. He gets along will with Goldman and every now and again, Goldman will tease him by calling him "strangah" and "mate" in his distinctive British accent. They both get a kick out of this and of all the people in the guild, Ryu gets along with him the best.
Hero's Shade
Having the Katana skill is something that Ryu highly respects as it has always been his dream to acquire the skill himself to complete the ninja-esque style he aspires to. He gets along relatively well with the old man and he definitely enjoys conversations about his times in the Iraq war. Though he normally lectures Ryu on the importance of being social, it often falls on selectively deaf ears.
Notes:
- Ryu's real name is Takashi Yuen.
- Ryu is right handed.
- Ryu hasn't partnered up with a girl in SAO since his second week of playing. Most of his friends are male so he's used to being a part of the "brotherhood" as they call it. As such, he doesn't have many female friends, even though he's so helpful towards newbies who are girls as well.
- Ryu is often called a "counterfeit ninja" due to his lack of the katana skill. He hopes that the game will grant his wish one day of acquiring the skill, so he can replace Martial Arts with it. The only reason he picked up Martial Arts is to have a viable way of fighting without a dagger that didn't involve having to manage another weapon.
- Ryu has a habit of making hand signs, even though ninjutsu doesn't exist in the world of SAO. He also has a habit of shouting in Japanese when he executes some of his Sword Skills.
- Ryu has been single his entire life, despite being told several times that he's "quite handsome". This is likely due to his detached outlook on women. He doesn't believe a relationship will work between him and a woman unless they share a lot of common interest, especially gaming.
- Ryu plays an ocarina in real life, making it a natural choice for him in game.

Name: Haru
Sex: Female
Age: 18
Race: Japanese
Sexuality: Straight but has had plenty of girls confess their love for her
Personality:
Chiharu is an energetic young girl who loves doing martial arts, especially Judo, and is extremely proud of her abilities. She is the type who can't sit still for too long and loves being proactive. Even though her actions cab come across as boyish, she still loves to the things she enjoys like clothes shopping.
Due to her family's achievements, especially her sister's, going to the same schools and what not, she hates being compared to her and expected to live up to and match her sister's achievements. She just wants to be acknowledged for herself, someone who loves helping out and is good at martial arts.
She loves her family a lot and they are the source of her drive. Always trying to push herself to be better. However that drive is like a double edge sword. She is known to push herself to the point of collapsing with her training. She is a quick learner and does keep a calm mind in fights because one wrong move in Judo means they have the point and probably the match.
She cares a lot about the friends she has in real life and the ones made in SAO even to the point of distancing herself from them so they don't get effected by her actions. She is headstrong and hates people who have massive egos or treat her like a defenseless girl.
Ever since that infamous floor 27 boss battle she has developed a serious disliking for the larger front line guilds. If she sees something she doesn't agree with or dislikes, she will freely voice her opinion on the matter.
Chiharu doesn't understand any gamer lingo early on and still gets confused by it later in her journey. She is comfortable about her body but does get seriously embarrassed when someone is flirting or hitting on her. She has zero romantic experience due to her focusing on Judo and going to an all girls middle school.
That infamous boss fight still haunts her to this day and is a source of rage towards the front line guilds. Her greatest fear is reliving that traumatic experience. She also has a fear of bugs, not the cute ones like butterflies, the creepy crawly ones like spiders. Especially spiders.
Appearance:
Chiharu stands 5'7" (170 cm) tall and weighs 120 lbs (54.4 kg) with an athletic build that has some noticeable curves. Her breast size is on the higher end of the C cup which could also be counted as a D. She has a smooth and slightly toned skin complexion that does define her muscles in the right level of light.
She has long black straight hair that falls just past her shoulder blades done up in a neat ponytail with 2 braided strains on either side of her head contained in that ponytail. Topped off with a nice cool coloured braided cord that holds the ponytail together. Her bangs sit from right to left and fall just above her eye brows with a silver hair-clip holding her bangs on her right side.
She has deep royal blue coloured eyes which people say that the colour remembers them of the ocean. She does wear small amounts of makeup. Even though her action smay appear boyish, she does try to remain feminine.
History:
Chiharu is the youngest of 2 and her family has been involved in Judo for generations. Her father, who has retired from Judo, still teaches at her grandfather's dojo. Her older sister Chinatsu, who is 3 years older than her, is naturally gifted at the sport and has represented Japan in her age group. Her mother had the potential to compete in the Olympics but got injured, ending her career, so she runs a family restaurant with her husband when he is not teaching Judo.
Chiharu wasn't naturally gifted like her sister but worked extremely hard to get to point she is at. Even though she has received a third dan black belt in Judo, she has never matched her sister's achievements. The best she has done is been nominated for selection to represent the country in her age group. Chiharu is always compared to her sister in whatever she does. She loves her sister but does get annoyed with people always comparing her to Chinatsu.
To find her own path and stop being compared to her sister, Chiharu branched out and starting learning Karate and Taekwondo. At her high school she is the ace of the Judo club and a lot of the female students admire her. In her spare time she loves to work at the family diner. Chiharu isn't the type of girl to play video games.
A family friend told her about the upcoming VRMMO called Sword Art Online. Naturally the gaming lingo confused the hell out of her. The family friend suggested that she try it out as a way to continue training her mind in combat to aid her in Judo matches. That family friend gave her their copy and equipment to try out since they would be out of town for a couple of weeks and wouldn't be able to log on for the opening.
Chiharu was starting her third year of high school with a sports scholarship for the university her family always went to all ready to go, when Sword Art Online was released. Naturally curious she tried the game only to be trapped within. Even though she was freaked out by the premise of the death game, she applied her knowledge of martial arts and made a unique fighting style that got pretty well known.
Until the infamous floor 27 boss battle, the fight that saw also 70% of the players die due to a conflict of egos in the chain of command. The fight was only salvaged by people like Chiharu and barely surviving that nightmare. The ones in charge blamed everything on the ones who saved the fight for stepping out of line.
Chiharu was so enraged that she openly attacked the raid leader, leaving him with a sliver of health and was pulled off him as she went to deal the final blow. From that point onward, she developed a natural disliking for the front line guilds.
The front line guilds spread rumours making it sound like that she was worse than any red player and their player killing guilds combined. This is how she earned the title 'Demonfist.' As her reputation continued to decline at a fast rate, she naturally faded away from the people she knew and befriended so they wouldn't be affected by her reputation and started the life of a solo player.
She kept this up until coming across a rather interesting group of players with an interesting guild who accepted the outcasts and downtrodden. Though she is grateful, she does limit her time with the guild so that the guild doesn't become tainted from her actions.

Equipment:
Chiharu's outfit consists of a brown leather tank top with an black tank top underneath both showing off a reasonable amount of cleavage and her midriff. Over that she wears an open blue sleeveless hooded coat with purple tribal designs that is ankle-length and splits into two ends past her thighs. On her arms she wears a pair of black detached sleeves that end on her biceps with leather gauntlets. She also wears white knee-length shorts with black ribbon ties and black leather shoes.
Her main weapons besides her actual body is a pair of retractable claws that are integrated into her leather gauntlets. The blades when stowed away sit on her forearms, allowing her to rotate her hands freely, then slide forward when activated, bracing her hands and revealing the 3 straight metal claws. With a simple hand gesture she can activate and deactivate them with ease.
Her equipment is set up with bonuses to strength and health regeneration to add on top of her already crazy health regen.
Relationships: most of Chiharu's relationships with members of Vagabond's Lantern are from when she has accepted the fact to live among them and open up.
* Pluto: Chiharu is grateful to Pluto for inviting and persuading her to join the guild. She isn't afraid of his face due to the fact she has faced many people like that at her grandfather's dojo. Sometimes she will just giggle at the sight of him because he reminds her of so many good memories. Unlike the other guild members she doesn't call him father/dad/pop/etc.
* Flora: Just like Pluto, Chiharu is grateful to Flora as well. She does find her teasing and pranks to be amusing. She also likes how Flora protects the guild members from outsiders that seek to do harm in any way. Chiharu does enjoy talking to her from time to time. Flora constantly reminds her that they don't care about the Demonfist title people have stuck on her.
* Morn Rower: Chiharu hasn't met Morn Rower, hearing the tales of him and his adventures after women. She is slightly disgusted by it and will greet him with a solid punch if that happened to her.
* Cloud: Chiharu enjoys reading his poetry while he works on making Enhancements and repairs to her claws. She loves the relaxing calm aura he gives off while working on something and will always swing by to say hello and have a chat.
* Rain: Chiharu considers Rain to be a good sparring partner when mad. Though she wishes that Rain would be a little bit more quiet on her rampages. Chiharu absolutely loves smelling the vast range of aromas coming from Rain's store. She often asks for different fragrant bath washes so she can relax in the bath.
* Sunny: The adorable little bundle full of cuteness that is sunny, Chiharu loves spending time with her and also tries to teach her some martial arts to help defend herself. She doesn't care what she does to spend time with Sunny as long as she can get her daily dose of cuteness.
* Pinklord: Chiharu loves the clothes that Pinklord makes. However she is more of a fan of purple than pink which sometimes results in heated arguments over what colour is best. She loves to try on his designs and will hit him if they turn out to be too revealing for her tastes.
* Touch Me: Her response to hearing Touch Me's name is no more than giggles. She gets along with him quite well and will troll him back when he trolls her.
* Xer0: Chiharu doesn't talk with Xer0 that much and only deals with her when she has something to sell. She has no problems with her and likes to randomly quote Cloud's poems that she read in attempts to start a conversation when she is dealing with Xer0.
* Goldman: Chiharu loves spending time with Goldman, listening to his tales, sampling his drinks or just helping out and cooking with him. She finds his sauve, sophisticated, yet sarcastic side to be funny and just listening to it will brighten her day.
* Hero's Shade: Chiharu loves to spar with Hero's Shade and loves playing with Black Hayate even more. They normally talk about her drive to become stronger and how she always works on defining her fighting style which is a bizarre mixture of the martial arts she knows in real life and the Sword Skills within the game.
Notes:
* Chiharu thought a username was more like a nickname so she went with the nickname her friends call her by; 'Haru.'
* She has zero romantic experience with boys, going to an all girls middle school then a co-ed high school where she scared all the boys by completely owning their gym teacher in a judo match for gym class. However she has received countless confessions from the girls because of that match.
* Chiharu's favourite pastime is cooking with her mother.
* She is right handed.
* Chiharu loves animals as much as she loves martial arts.
* She met an information broker early on who give her the rundown on how players act online and told her some information about learning the 'Martial Arts' Skill.

Age: 19
Race: Japanese
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Starlight puts herself out there as a tough girl who won't be told what to do by anyone but those she has much respect for. She's outspoken, telling anyone who'll listen (and those who won't) exactly how she's feeling without any sugarcoating. Unless of course that thought that needs to be spoken out is a cry for help or a thank you, at which point she'll try to be as discreet about it as possible. She knows when someone else is in need though; if she feels like someone needs help and she can be of assistance, she'll lend a hand. But this only comes up in more serious situations, she'll rarely be found lifting heavy objects for someone at a simple request.
Despite this, she means well. As it stands, she's just been pushed around too much to be drawn into a conflict that could potentially just be a ploy to get her to do someone else's work for them. Once she knows that the intentions are pure, she'll soften up and lend a hand. To those she's closer with, she likes to tease others once she gets to know them better. She's knows when she's overstepped her boundaries though, and will tone down the teasing when she needs to,
She's always first to survey an environment and take note of important landmarks or feature about an area. While she is quite confident in her own abilities, she's good at determining when she's more or less fit to deal with a combat situation. Her most outstanding attribute is her acumen, her ability to decide what the best decision is and act on it. She dislikes needless thanks and small talk as she thinks time is better spent talking about important things or moving forward. She likes to stargaze above almost anything, stating that they're the most beautiful thing one can look at. Hates being in water but loves the moon and the way it affects the tides.
Overall she's tough on strangers, and loyal to those she trusts. Has a "no one gets left behind" mentality in battles. Comes out as "You're not allowed to die on me" more often, though.
Appearance: Starlight is a tall girl, standing at around 6'1" with a lean but muscular build. Her skin is pale in tone and her face is riddled with freckles. Her eyes are large and pale blue in color, only a little more blue than her silver hair that is almost always tied back in a tight ponytail that falls to about her shoulder blades. Despite her significant stature, she actually has relatively small breasts, sitting just shy of B-cups.
History: Midori Kyubei was born into a middle class family as an only child who had to explore the world almost on her own as both of her parents worked during the day. It wasn't an issue, as she was quick to learn concepts one they were explained to her, and rarely required, let alone asked for, further than a short description of the topic in question. Unfortunately, this meant that she picked up on everything quickly. From the faces people made to the way that they reacted to her actions, she took stock of the way the people and the world around her behaved. Doesn't sound to bad, but in middle school she turned out to be quite the bullying target. Granted she didn't know she was being bullied, just that she was doing a lot of things for other people and that they were being made to smile because of it. It wasn't until she helped the students break into a boys locker to sabotage it that things started to click in her mind.
It became even more apparent that she was just a tool for their mayhem when she realized they were having celebratory outings such as birthdays and not even thinking to invite her. She started looking at things from a different perspective, that she was just a thing to be taken advantage of. She wouldn't have it though. A change in her demeanor significantly reduced her ability to be reduced to nothing to but a stepping stool for those around her. The solution? Simply don't do anything for anyone. This selfish attitude, however, got her more than a little bit disliked by peers. The time to find a middle ground came, and Midori decided that she would retain her rougher attitude, but would look into how genuine the help one was looking for was before diving into tasks.
SAO was supposed to be her escape from these complexities, but the edition of the new death rule made it so she pretty much had to adapt the same attitude to assure she wasn't tricked. She helped those she felt were in real danger, but was never too eager to jump into any party who asked. She was never really interested in joining a guild because she could never tell why they wanted her in the first place. So she ran around solo, her goal to become stronger so she could fend for herself and didn't have to rely on others at all. When she found out about the malicious intent of laughing coffin, she immediately went forward in an attempt deal with that guild before she tried to proceed any further through the game. More people being used for a less than noble cause as she saw it. However, she soon realized that goals in this game weren't meant to be accomplished alone, and she began investigating guilds to see if one would suit her needs.

Equipment: Starlight's typical armor consists of heavy, sleeveless, silver plate mail for her upper body with heavy identically colored greaves for her legs and elbow length gauntlets for her arms. Under that she wears a tight fitting sleeved leotard that is light blue in color. Additionally she wears a helmet that covers the back of her head and neck, but not her mouth and chin. It has a visor which she puts down over her eyes in combat. She almost always has a large double-edged, two-handed battle axe as her weapon of choice. Its size is massive even for a two-handed axe. It is silver on the blades, and some of the haft is as well(area near the head), but most of the portion that is to be gripped is black. It's called soulstealer's edge. She makes sure to always have a teleport crystal, status healing crystal, healing potions, and a host of poisons with statuses like paralysis and sleep.
In most casual situation, she likes to dress in leggings and sweaters of white, light blue, and violet. Sometimes she instead decides to wear a white, sleeveless dress that ends at her knees. Her footwear is almost always a pair of simple black boots. On formal occasions she might wear a long black silk dress and a pair of identically colored flats as well as letting her hair down. Combined with a pair of black, elbow length gloves she contrasts her brighter look. She hates water so she has no need for swimwear.
Relationships:
Pluto - Initially confused on how one could create such a close group of individuals, Starlight spent a lot of time just watching how Pluto deals with situations, conflicts and confections alike. Through this, she developed a sort of unspoken admiration for him. Wants to call him "papa," but thinks it'll be weird.
Flora - The person Starlight respects the most out of everyone in the guild. She wants to be like her once she gets more experience working in groups.
Morn Rower - She's just plain skeptical of him. She doesn't think he's doing anything wrong, mind you, just worried that he might be doing too much for others and not enough looking out for himself.
Cloud - Despite loving to tease him about his height and other things she finds funny, she sees him as someone she can always talk to, whether for equipment or just if she's feeling down.
Rain - While the apothecary aspects of her job interest Starlight greatly, she doesn't really like all of the yelling. For this reason she tends to keep her distance.
Sunny - Starlight goes to Sunny whenever she needs to be cheered up, the negativity being sucked right out of even some of her worst moods. She's worried about her, though, so she tries to keep talks to her about as pleasant things as she think of.
Pinklord - Lets him make all of the decisions for her new clothing as long as it isn't pink. She never trusted herself to make or purchase clothing, so having someone else to make the decision for her is nice.
Touch Me - Most likely to get made fun of by Starlight, obviously because of his name. She still admires and respects his abilities as a carpenter.
Xer0 - While Starlight wants to trust her, she brave enough to trust other people with bartering just yet. Since she keeps to herself it's hard to get things started either.
Goldman - She doesn't drink, but she likes sitting at the counter and watching him work. Similar to Pluto in that though she won't say it, she admires him quite a bit.
Hero's Shade - The person she goes to for advice on important decisions. She has difficulty determining if she's handling things right and he's always the first one to receive her questions.
Espada - Starlight finds Espada to be too innocent for anything to wrong with helping her and looks to move her forward on the path to self acceptance. Tries to ignore how very different their bodies are.
Humble Ryujin - Starlight finds that they are two paths from the same fork in the road. Both solo players for different reasons and with different policies on participating in groups. Different builds, different skills. She wonders how alike they really are. Chooses not to talk to him much.
