Name: Zeri Sakana (Jelly Fish) Age: 11
Appearance:
Zeri has naturally straight bright blonde hair that is very long, stopping in layers at around waist level. Her eyes are a vibrant and stunning blue with long lashes framing them. She stands at four feet seven inches and is very slim for her age. As she hasn’t hit puberty yet she doesn’t have any blemishes on her face, although she usually has an adorable light blush in her cheeks. In short, Zeri resembles a beautiful porcelain doll.
Fashion:
Zeri is too young to care much for fashion, and wouldn’t like to spend that much money on a pair of jeans anyway. She is attracted to colourful, affordable, and study clothing, although she does enjoy somewhat feminine clothing. Zeri doesn’t wear makeup unless she is performing, and even then it is simple and light. She prefers to leave her hair down and straight, and loves brushing it. Additionally, Zeri is hardly ever seen without a beret on her head. She absolutely loves them and buys one whenever she has the spare money. She also invests heavily in skorts, as they are both girly yet practical for performing in. She enjoys patterns, and her shirts are usually striped or polka dotted. Zeri always looks adorable and very well put together, and pulls her appearance off effortlessly.
Personality:
Zeri’s perfect appearance and bubbly personality may make her seem like a Mary-Sue, but nothing could be farther from the truth. While Zeri is a happy and helpful girl, she has been worn very thin over the past year. This has caused her to be determined to succeed and very perfectionistic. She is also very sensitive and emotional, and when not setting an example for her siblings cries quite easily when upset or frustrated. Her most dominant traits are her hard-working nature and her optimistic attitude, both which are amazing for a girl of her age and situation. Zeri is a very loving girl and loves taking care of her siblings, the planet, animals, and other people. She is mature for her age, but is still a child and indulges in occasionally immature or childish behaviour. Her dedication and devotion to nearly everything and everyone she comes across, along with her determination and optimism make her an excellent choice for a Mew.
Facts/Quirks:
1: Despite Zeri’s cheerful personality, she is still very traumatized and depressed about her parents’ deaths.
2: Zeri suffers from insomnia and nightmares, this last thing she needs with all of the work she does.
3: Zeri is surprisingly strong and mature for her age, especially with what happened to her.
4: Zeri is very afraid that her parents are unhappy with the way she is raising herself and her siblings.
5: Zeri is not afraid of any animals-she either trusts them or is simply childish in her thinking.
6: Zeri is unsure of her career path as she is young, but is very involved in all forms of art.
7: Zeri loves making others happy above all else.
8: Zeri’s favourite foods are shrimp, citrus fruits and jellybeans.
9: If Zeri could change one thing about her appearance, it would be her size.
10: If Zeri could change on thing about her personality, it would be her over-sensitivity.
Waitressing:
Work Ethic: Zeri is a very enthusiastic waitress and loves working at Café Mew Mew with her teammates. The customers love her positive, happy attitude and some request her specifically to wait on them.
Uniform: Bright Blue with Lemon Yellow accents.
History:
Zeri grew up in a cute but lavish cottage in the countryside with her parents Mitsukai and Kami, who were both wonderful parents and very creative and charming people. Mitsukai, Zeri’s mother, was a harp player in a famous Symphony, and Kami, Zeri’s father, was the conductor for that same Symphony. Zeri is the eldest of five siblings. Ganjou is a quiet and helpful eight year old dirty blonde-haired boy who takes on the “manly” difficult jobs for the family. He has also taken his younger brother, a loud four year old named Tsuyoi under his wing. Tsuyoi looks like a miniature Ganjou, and they are often seen carrying groceries home with Zeri. Karen and Hana are five year old strawberry blonde twins, one with a passion for cooking, the other with a love of gardening. Both are loved by all they meet and are extremely devoted to helping Zeri look after the house and yard.
Zeri has always excelled in the arts and was enrolled in painting, piano, violin, singing and dance from a very young age. She grew up a wonderful older sibling for her four children. However, last year her parents were killed in a car accident after returning from one of their performances. Not willing to allow herself and her siblings to be split up and put into various foster homes, Zeri took on the role of a parent. She has two jobs in addition to being school and acting as a mother- she performs in commercials and works as a street performer. Now that she has a job at Café Mew Mew in addition to her other work, money is coming more easily.
Zeri had many friends up until last year. But after the deaths of her parents she has had to raise four siblings, work multiple jobs, study and attend school and take care of the house, and gave up all of her friends except one, Amai Satou (Mew Sugar). Amai has always lived in a relatively low income household and can somewhat understand what Zeri is going through financially. She studies with Zeri after school and helps her take care of her siblings, babysitting while Zeri works. Now that both Zeri and Amai are Mews, they have more time to spend with one another. Zeri is very smart, but doesn’t really like school anymore. Had her life gone on normally, she would have, but since the deaths of her parents it has become more of a burden than anything. However, she knows how important her education is and has to set a good example for her siblings, so she studies hard when not working or taking care of her brothers and sisters. Zeri’s favourite subjects are English, Physical Education and Sciences, although she really enjoys learning. As she is still young, her work isn’t that difficult, and she gets very good marks.
Zeri received her DNA while inside Café Mew Mew. She originally entered the Café to ask for an application for waitressing. The Café was closed, as Ryou and Keiichiro were about to send out the Mew Ray, and after they had succeeded, returned upstairs to see Zeri collapsed on the floor. Fortunately, she got the job, along with becoming a half jellyfish superhero! Despite being very busy with school and parenting and working three jobs, Zeri enjoys being a Mew, having more friends (and being able to spend more time with Amai) and saving the world! Zeri feels that by being a Mew, she is preventing more unnecessary deaths like what happened to her parents.
Mew Blue Lemonade! DNA: Peach Blossom Jellyfish
Appearance:
Zeri’s hair stays the same colour and she has one braid on either side of her face, tied with a bright blue ribbon. Her eyes stay the same beautiful blue. However, unlike most of the other Mews, no part of her body changes to become a part of her animal DNA.
Costume: Bright Blue & Lemon Yellow
Zeri wears a large floppy bright blue hat with yellow polka dots with several blue “tentacles” hanging down, resembling a jellyfish. She wears a blue strapless one piece bathing suit with a yellow knee-length tentacle hula skirt which crackles with electricity. She doesn’t wear boots, but oversized, large floppy socks, one lemon yellow and the other bright blue. Her gloves are elbow length and like her socks, one is yellow and the other is blue. Her choker, garter and arm bands are blue trimmed with yellow.
Mew Mark: A spotted jellyfish with a heart center and four tentacles in the crease of her elbow.
Weapon(s):
Lemonade Rod: A bright blue lightning rod topped with a yellow bow below a large silver ball.
Attack(s):
Reborn Lemonade Sting! : Zeri’s primary attack. She channels the electricity from her skirt into the rod and unleashing bolts of electricity on enemies.
Reborn Lemonade Flash Orbs! : Zeri’s secondary attack. She produces a flash of bright light from her weapon, blinding enemies long enough to trap them in jelly-like orbs, allowing herself or one of her teammates to finish them off.
Battle Strengths:
Optimism: Zeri can always raise the spirits of her teammates when they are tired or unconfident.
Energy: As she is still a young girl and a dancer, she has amazing endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, and power. It is very hard to wear her out during a battle and she can evade most attacks with ease.
Determination: Zeri is bound and determine to protect her teammates and the planet, especially now that she has lost her parents. She is desperate not to feel the pain of losing someone again.
Battle Weaknesses:
Compassion: The thought of someone being hurt because of a bad move on her part nauseates Zeri, and as a result she may spend more time caring for her teammates than facing the problem in battle.
Perfectionist: Zeri is a perfectionist, and can be frustrated with herself if one of her attacks fails.
Fear: Zeri is afraid of something happening to her during battle, as she has to care for her siblings.
Yay another one done! Zeri has always been one of my favourites! ^_____________^ CRITIQUE AWAY!
