DEATH TO THE JPEG FORMAT. D: ... There comes a time in every Tokyo Mew Mew fan's life when they realize that their most well-loved character is a steaming pile of Sue. That time came last week for me, despite being told that my Mew Licorice was a Berii clone right off the bat. Right. So, here is the revamped Mew Licorice. Her DNA and history have totally been reworked, as has her Mew fuku (obviously). In fact, I think her personality is the only thing that came away unscathed by my purging. :B -Stats- Name: Kuroyama Rikorisuu Sex: Female Age: 16 Height: 5� 2� Weight: 119 lbs Eyes: Dark brown, with thick lashes. Hair: Dark plum, chin length. Cut straight across, hanging over her eyebrows. Personality: A twitchy, timid girl with a habit of running from anything too exciting or dangerous or especially risky in any way� pretty much anything, come to think of it. It is in her cowardice that she finds her purpose as a �voice of reason� for her friends; her overall pessimistic view of life, while a �real drag�, helps others gain a more realistic insight on the workings of the world. History: Riko was blessed with an exceedingly normal childhood� or, at least, that�s what she thought. It was all a blur, really. Been that way for as long as she could remember� Which, when she really thought about it, seemed to be about two months ago when she woke up on a fancy canopy bed wearing what appeared to be clothing more suited for a doll than a girl. Her �brothers� had explained that she was just suffering from a bad case of amnesia, and insisted that she was right where she belonged. Furthermore, they had said that she was very special to them, as she was going to help them start a new world. How? She hadn�t the foggiest idea. Perhaps it had something to do with the odd mark on her stomach�? Mew Name: Mew Mew Licorice Animal DNA: Bilby Eyes: Iris color shifts to pink, otherwise no change. Hair: Black, chin-length, styled into chunky, rope-like braids, the top portion of which are weaved around her ears long black bilby ears with the rest dangling free. Mark: A blooming rose, the Crusader crest. Location: At the base of her ribs. Color Scheme: Black and pale pink. Weapon: Licorice Lyre � a black, heart-shaped instrument, with the pointed bottom end of the heart open. A pink crossbar is fastened across this opening. Ten silver filaments are stretched from this bar to the curved �top� of the heart. A black bow, similar to the one on Mew Licorice�s left wrist, is pinned between the humps that make up the curved part of the heart. The weapon is called forth from her cuff charm. Attack(s): Ribbon, Licorice Illusion! - Mew Licorice strums all ten strings on her lyre, then plucks out a soothing melody. The instrument emits a series of ultrasonic notes which cause the intended target (and occasionally others in the surrounding area) to be immersed in a dream world of their own fantasies. A second attack, Licorice Mirage, is simply a modified version of this attack, wherein the opponent is brought into a state similar to that of a person who has recently consumed a large amount of a psychedelic drug; that is, the opponent is put on a �trip� that may take up to two hours to overcome. The attacks can be warded off if the opponent plugs their ears with wax or a similar substance, as fingers will not cut it.
