Emotional Disposition: Playfully violent
In a million years, one would never associate Silver Star’s personality with her line of work. Cheeriness and playfulness tend not to blend well with trying to seriously injure people in front of a blood thirsty audience. Yet somehow she pulls it off, living on both sides of a harsh thrashings with an infectious smile on her face. It can perhaps be tied with her mentality that fighting is nothing more than a means to have fun. Every fight Star’s in is a play fight, as far as she's concerned. Yes, she aiming to harm people, but hurting others and getting hurt in return is all part of the game. Straining yourself mentally and physically to overcome a challenge brings forth a high the likes of which nothing else can touch. But because she just wants to have fun and keep the tone light, Star keeps from using lethal means in a fight, such as guns or blades.
Personality Traits:
• Self-conscious: While some may consider scars as a badge of honor, Silver Star is quite the opposite. Even she is disgusted by the deep wounds inflicted onto herself, and chooses to cover them in any way she can. This has gotten so extreme that Star is willing to abandon her fun, and flee on the off chance that someone removes her mask.
• Somewhat Civilized: In spite of her thirst for harming others, Star is not the type to attack someone for no reason. And if her advances for a quick fight are turned down, she will step down, albeit reluctantly, and move on to something else. In a way, some of her lessons did in fact stick.
• People pleaser: Star is willing to jump through quite a few hoops to put a smile on people’s faces. Most of her repertoire consists of things she had done once or twice that garnered a positive reaction.
• Oblivious: Silver Star is a lover of dance. Any time she feels bored, she is quick to bust out a cheesy dance move to entertain herself or anyone around her. While any sensible person would be too embarrassed to try, Star seems oblivious to how embarrassing her dance moves really are, and will gleefully dance her heart out.
• Wandering hands: Try as she might, Star can’t help but steal things. Be it silverware, dinner plates, or even the chair she’s sitting on, she finds that she can’t keep her hands to herself. Perhaps it is her mind trying to tell her that her plundered goods would make good weapons?
Appearance:
Silver Star’s trademark is a mask that covers the top half of her face, with a star symbol embroidered into the center of the forehead. Out the back, her short white ponytail neatly juts out. Her baby blue eyes are visible from the eyeholes, and looking closely will expose the permanent shiner she has on her left eye. Thanks to some unfortunate timing, Star is missing one of her front teeth, as well as one of her upper molars.
Starting from the top, Silver Star prefers to wear t-shirts under an unbuttoned short-sleeved shirt. So long as the colors are either black, white, or grey, to keep her style consistent.
Star usually sports a pair of baggy black shorts with numerous stars adorned on the left leg. Both of her arms and legs are all tapped up, leaving only her fingers exposed. Black tennis shoes and star adorned kickpads are the entirety of her footwear.
Over her right shoulder is a metal shoulder plate with a big star painted on it. Years of use has weathered the paint and dented the metal, but Star chooses not to replace it.
As a consequence of her lifestyle choices, Star’s body is the home to a number of awful, deep scars that she chooses to cover up for the sake of those around her. Her forehead, for instance, is home to a set of horrendous looking scars that seem to refuse to heal no matter how much time passes, or how much she picks at them. And while her toned torso is impressive, she would rather not show off the extensive scars that have been placed over the years.

Traits:
Inhuman toughness: Silver Star is tough enough to hang with the toughest people in the West Blue. And by doing so, and by tangling with a few of them in hardy competition, she’s gotten tougher over the years. While not completely immune to pain, her threshold is a lot higher than the average man.
Human Pretzel: Star can bend and flex her body anyway she needs too to his those moves of hers. With her flexibility, she can execute a number of flips and rolls without any strain or pain. As such, any techniques focused on bending the opponent has less effect on Star.

________________________________________
• Birth: Born Kelly Harper to a family of aristocrats, Silver Star’s destiny in life was to marry a young man from another wealthy family and raise their respective net worths through the roof. For years, she tolerated spending her days and nights in a boring school, learning about boring etiquette, participating in boring sports like gymnastics and ballet, and learning about the mitochondria was the powerhouse of the cell. Boring textbooks with boring teachers and boring classmates. Every hour of every day, she wanted to tear her hair out in frustration. But she didn’t. Having been bigged up by her parents as being their best hope, she endured the boredom for her family’s sake.
• A window into a new world: Out of the window one particularly dull evening, the 15 year old Star spotted something that drew her attention like nothing before. An open window where she could see two women fighting, but not with any of the boring styles the school like fencing or debate, but something far more… raw. And exciting. The women she saw were whaling on each other with weapons, and executing some of the most impressive looking attacks the girl had ever seen. After sneaking peeks at these women every night for a week, she knew she had to get a closer look. Every time the combatants would step out of her line of sight, it extinguished the flame of excitement she had in her.
• Swan Freely: One night, the teen snuck out of the school and went to where she had seen the window. As the window was a bit out of reach, Star jumped and grabbed onto the windowsill and pulled herself up, but was quickly found out by the proprietor of the operation, Swan Freely. Swan invited the girl in and let her watch, in exchange for helping cleanup the place when the fights were over. This encouraged the girl to sneak out every night and pay Swan and the rest of the women at the 5th Circle of Hell Fight Pit a visit. Being exhausted in the morning was not a concern, as it was night time where she truly came alive.
• New Order: Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and when Star was caught sneaking back into her dorm room, the good times, as well as the average times came to a grinding halt. The school's reputation was tarnished, her family’s name was slandered, and the long anticipated wedding was called off in what seemed like a week's time. In a fit of rage, her mother attacked the girl with a knife, leaving deep, permanent marks on her head, and may have actually killed her had it not been for the marines present. Her parents fled the island, and Swan adopted her as her daughter. Swan, feeling guilty for what had happened, adopted the girl into the family and promised that she’s never have a reason to be sad again. The girl smiled, with the supportive cast at the 5th Circle supporting her, and showing kindness, she was able to come out of her shell and become the person she'd always wanted to become.
• New Order pt.2: For years she honed her craft. Using her skills in gymnastics and ballet, along with a toughness she had netted from the harsh training programs, she became a valiant fighter. To hide the scars of her past, she wore a mask, and dubbed herself Silver Star! The mask was her new identity, and it would protect her future from the pains and tribulations of her past life. Life was good. At the cost of a few harsh fights a week, Star was free to hang out with some of the most colorful characters she’d ever met, and never have to do anything boring ever again.
• The Blonde Devil: Her life got turned on her head when Adrian Idol sat in one night and watched some fights unfold, his dorky hands and eyes in his notebook. His general disgust towards the product had turned his stomach, but the final stra w came when he saw Silver Star begin to strut around the ring. For some reason, this dance that put a smile on people's faces lead to him bursting into Swan’s Office in fury and airing his grievances towards this filth. Swan kindly listened to the criticisms, but Silver Star wouldn’t have it. She insisted that if Adrian was unhappy with what he saw, he could take it the ring and fight one of them himself. But Adrian refused with an upturned nose, because ‘He was not a garbageman’. These comments unleashed something in Star, and she attacked the blonde, wrestling him out of the establishment. The battle took place all over the town, and ended with a well-aimed Idol Kick to the masked woman. Adrian Idol left the island with his head held high, having defended the honor of his profession from these uneducated jerks.
• A new Job: Silver Star on the other hand, had to pay for her crimes. Having caused a significant amount of property damage, she was tasked with either repaying it or going to prison. It was an obvious ploy from her old school's director greasing the palms of the local marines to pin the blame on her, but Star could do nothing to combat it. Swan couldn’t afford to give her the money, but offered a deal in exchange. She would leave the island, and return with the necessary beri to pay for the damages, taking up the art of Bounty Hunting. Star was initially against the idea, but her feelings changed when she saw Swan’s beaming face as she explained her plan. “If it’s you, you’ll get the money in no time!” With the faith of Swan Freely behind her, Star felt strong enough to take down even the pirate king, and in no time at all, she had gone out to sea to make things right. And if she were to cross paths with Adrian Idol again, all the better.
