Mew Cinnamon

[=TORA=]

Name: Nikkei Akai (Cinnamon Red) Age: 14

Appearance:

Nikkei has mid-back length, straight hair that curls outwards at the ends and is dark red in colour and her eyes are a deep blue. Her complexion is completely clear- fair skin with no acne, no freckles, no blush without reason. Nikkei stands at five feet five inches and weighs one hundred twenty pounds, and is slim yet not skinny. She is very cute and quite pretty for her age, as her hair and eye colour are so unique.

Fashion:

Nikkei is a very active girl, and this strongly influences her style. Her hair is usually left down when not exercising, and pulled into a ponytail is she is. She never wears makeup while exercising and only wears eyeliner and mascara to accentuate her eyes when she is in the mood. Nikkei doesn’t particularly like jewellery with the exception of a family heirloom in the form of a ruby ring. Nikkei doesn’t pay attention to fashion trends, and has a strong distaste for impractical footwear and restrictive clothing. She prefers comfortable shorts, T-shirts, hoodies, tanktops and running shoes. She hates the tight feeling of jeans and refuses to wear them. Despite her sporty clothing collection, Nikkei can and does clean up nicely when she has to, and wears skirts and dresses and even heels on very special occasions. Nikkei prefers earthy tones of cream, brown and green but also loves navy blue, black, and shades of red.

Personality:

Everyone’s favourite thing about Nikkei is how down to earth she is. She is naturally happy and optimistic, thanks to all the endorphins she gets from exercising. She doesn’t judge people until she has met them herself, and is polite and respectful to everyone, even those who she doesn’t get along with, unless they bully or otherwise offend others. In that case, she becomes very emotional and angry and can be violent, though this side rarely shows. She is fairly smart and has a sense of humour, although she dislikes even remotely offensive jokes. She can be a team player, a leader, and can work alone. She is very caring and considerate and a very hard worker. Her desire to protect others, athletic skills and strong emotions, both happy and angry, make her a very capable Mew.

Facts/Quirks:

1: Had Nikkei grown up with her actual parents, she would be much less open and social than she is.
2: The biggest problem that people have with Nikkei (if anything) is how perfect she is.
3: Nikkei’s favourite time of day is from five until around eight in the morning, during sunrise.
4: Nikkei is deathly allergic to seafood, which is a big problem considering that she is a Mew.
5: Nikkei’s biggest fear is offending someone, as she has never done it before.
6: Nikkei dreams of being a professional soccer player, but would also love a job as a teacher or veterinarian.
7: Nikkei loves being playfully adventurous, playing hide-and-seek (and always winning), climbing trees, etc.
8: Nikkei’s favourite foods are apples, nuts and chicken.
9: Nikkei is completely comfortable with her appearance and wouldn’t change a thing.
10: Nikkei would change her impatience with rude people, even if they do deserve it.

Waitressing:

Work Ethic: Nikkei loves working at the Café and never gets tired of it. She is a happy, polite, and all around wonderful waitress and customers and fellow staff members absolutely love being around her.

Uniform: Cinnamon Red with Cream accents.

History:

Nikkei is the youngest of two children, but believes herself to be an only child. Her real parents are Takeshi and Noriko Kamen, two former members of the Japanese secret service (do they have one? I don’t know). They were assassinated when Nikkei was less than a year old, and as a result she has no idea that she is being raised by adoptive parents or that she has a sister somewhere out there. Her adoptive parents are Kouki and Mio Akai, two honest, happy and hard-working teachers. Working with children all their lives, they were so upset when they were told they were unable to have children. They were overcome with joy when they got the call from the adoption agency asking them if they would take Nikkei into their home. However, when they applied at the adoption agency, they stated they only wanted one child, and as a result, Nikkei was taken in by the Akai’s while her sister was sent somewhere else. Nikkei has had the perfect life, funded by her parents’ hard work along with a fairly large inheritance from a relative. She grew up in a comfortable house in Tokyo as an only child with everything she ever wanted although you would never consider her spoiled. Her best friend is a small mutt named Chijin, or Chi for short.

At the age of fourteen, school has just started to pick up in difficulty for Nikkei. She has issues with spelling and doesn’t particularly like math, and has a weak memory for things like dates. Her favourite and best subjects are physical education, music and art and anything science-related. She maintains a 3.5-4.0 Grade Point Average and is very happy in school. She has a unique group of friends which are considered neither popular nor lame, and her three best friends are Haruko, Aki and Natsu. Nikkei’s happy aura throughout her life has caused her to have very few enemies throughout her life, and her glowing happiness is contagious. When it comes to effort, Nikkei would receive an ‘A+’ in every subject, and her teachers love her for it. Nikkei never lets a less-than-perfect grade get her down; it only strengthens her resolve to do better next time!

Nikkei received her DNA while in a park in Tokyo. She was jogging through the pathless forest when there was a flash of red light and she fell unconscious. She woke after an indeterminate amount of time, and, confused, continued on her jog at a slow pace. She was soon stopped when a squirrel Chimera Anima emerged from the bushes. She managed to avoid the monster’s first few attacks, and spotted a golden pendant that appeared from out of nowhere on the forest floor. Drawn towards it, she picked it up, transforming into Mew Cinnamon. She defeated the Chimera Anima and eventually managed to shift back to her Human form. She left the forested area of the park and ran into Ryou and Keiichiro, who escorted her back to Café Mew Mew and explained everything. Nikkei loves protecting people and the extra exercise that comes with being a Mew, and thinks that becoming a Mew was a blessing in disguise as she was reunited with her sister.

Mew Cinnamon! DNA: Red Panda

Appearance:

Nikkei’s hair becomes rusty in colour and maintains its length and style, and her eyes become a darker, more brown shade of scarlet. Two white and slightly brown ears replace her human ones, and a scarlet and cream striped thick and fluffy red panda tail grows from her tailbone, nearly touching the ground.

Costume: Cinnamon Red and Cream

Mew Cinnamon wears a cinnamon red mask around her eyes shaped like a four pointed star. A cinnamon red strapless unitard with a short skirt with a gap in the front showing the unitard. The top is trimmed with cream coloured lace and a cream coloured ribbon wraps around his waist, forming two large bows on each hip. She wears plain cinnamon coloured knee-length boots with no laces or designs with the exception of more cream coloured bows at the top of each boot. She wears arm bands up to her elbows instead of gloves, which are cinnamon and cream striped. Her choker, garter and arm bands are all cinnamon red with cream accents.

Mew Mark: Two dark stripes like those on a red panda’s tail with a heart in the center, found wrapped around her big toe.

Weapon(s):

Cinnamon Whip: A long, cinnamon red chain whip with a cream coloured handle, decorated with a red and white bow.

Attacks:

Reborn Cinnamon Slash! : Mew Cinnamon’s primary attack. She slashes her whip at enemies, sending bright red energy towards them in a vicious attack.

Reborn Cinnamon Trap! : Mew Cinnamon’s secondary attack. She flicks her whip, wrapping it around an enemy and pulls it tight, causing it to constrict around the enemy while the other Mews finish the enemy off.

Battle Strengths:

Agility: Nikkei's favourite activity is exercising, and she has excellent endurance, strength, and speed. However, in her Mew Form, her DNA gives her much more agility. She can climb trees and leap from limb to limb with ease.

Adaptability: Nikkei's personality allows her to strategically adapt, whether she's working with a partner, alone or in a group, leading or following. She also knows how to change her plan of attack based on new information.

Emotions: Nikkei's emotions make her stronger. Her love for other people and the planet make her fight harder and better, and when someone is injured she feels their pain. When she is angry or upset she fights harder still.

Battle Weaknesses:

Allergy: Nikkei is strongly allergic to seafood. As a precaution, she has been stopped from fighting any Chimera Anima infused with a creature from the sea. Whether or not she will react to a seafood Chimera Anima in Mew Form is not a risk anyone is willing to take.

Offense: Nikkei hates being offended, and offensive names or words can really hurt her. She starts doubting herself, which can negatively impact how she fights.

Trust: Since discovering that her parents weren't really her parents, that her parents were spies and that she has a sister in one of her teammates, Nikkei's perspective has turned all but upsidedown. She has started second-guessing the words and identities of others and this can lead to trust issues.



I really like her, but hope that she isn't too "Mary Sue-ish" because I think she can be interpreted in that way.
