Ayane Hakaisareta

Ayane Hakaisareta ( 綾音破壊された lit. Colorful Sound Destroyed) is a Earth Dragon Slayer, and is loosely affiliated with Shūryō. However, she is mostly affiliated with the Retribution Army, an organization similar to the Isles Rebellion. Though both are similar organizations, the Retribution Army doesn't forcibly take children from their parents and experiment on them. The Retribution Army accepts anyone who believes in their cause, and trains them to fight against their enemies.

Before joining any guild or organization, Ayane was the adopted heiress of the Isles's Royal Family. After her adoptive mother Tsuchi disappeared, the Royal Family adopted her, and trained her to be the perfect princess. Yet several years after being adopted, Ayane found that there was severe corruption within her adoptive family. After realizing this, Ayane was determined to end the corruption, and started to train herself to fight. During her self-driven training, she stumbled upon a rare magic that was incredibly difficult to learn, Ancient Archive. At this time, Ayane didn't meet the speed requirements of this peculiar magic, and was frustrated about this fact. However, as she trained in different types of magical and physical areas, she started to meet the requirements for Ancient Archive, and was ecstatic to find out that she was able to use it.

On her seventeenth birthday, she was able to escape from the Royal Family, and find the Retribution Army. When she first joined the Retribution Army, she was held in a cell for questioning, as she was the former princess of the war ravaged country. However, after realizing her talent in both physical and magical abilities, they allowed her to join, and even appointed her to the rank of Corporal, making her the youngest to ever achieve that rank.

Appearance
While not extravagantly beautiful, it is safe to say that Ayane possesses more than enough beauty. She stands slightly above the average woman's height. With slightly tanned skin, and dark hair, her looks create a nice contrast. She possesses large hazel eyes, that many remark hold an ocean of curiosity. While not freakishly short, many still consider her a midget because of her small stature, in comparison to everyone else. However, under absolutely any circumstances, do not underestimate her because of her height. She doesn't hold the position of S-Class and Corporal for nothing. Despite her height, she has rather long limbs, enabling her to run faster than most members of Shūryō and the Retribution Army. Besides her short stature, she has slightly rosy cheeks that are often unnaturally red, and seemingly turning redder when she nears her partner, Robert Kalyfrin. Her slightly tanned skin often give off a creamy look, often making one wonder how she could've achieved the look she has. Though asked many times, she never has an answer. Her seemingly innocent look deceives many, and the misconception of innocence often lead to her opponent's death. When her Dragon Force is activated, she takes on the look of a wild animal, and will often act like one, further backing up the notion of her "cruelty". Though not often, she is occasionally set in charge of training cadets, which she often states is the cause of her "gray hair". While she doesn't actually have gray hairs, new recruits often cause her to take on more-than-healthy amounts of stress. During these times, she often is in a grumpy and irritable mood, causing her appearance to differ slightly. In this state, she will often have dark circles under her eyes, and this often causes her partners to tease her about "getting old". Her hair is incredibly unkempt, and her uniform will more than often be wrinkled and/or put on inside out. She will usually walk slumped, or hunched, both of which usually scare her comrades, as she usually stands with almost impeccable posture. Instead of her usually cheery grin, or "shit eating grin", she often has a deep frown, or a scowl on.

Physically, she has a adequate looking build, seemingly enough to pass the levels of cadet. Surprisingly, she possesses an inhuman amount of strength, enough to throw a man two times her size dozens of feet away from her. Partially due to the training she received from Tsuchi, she has strong, lanky legs, and a solid amount of muscle in her abdomen and arms. Although she does not have noticeable curves, she does possess some slight curves. She often uses her body of a ten year old to advantage, posing as a girl in her early teens for certain missions that require her to do so, or sneaking into the Royal Family's palace, staging as a new maid. Because of the requirement of fighting almost everyday, Ayane often suffers from broken bones, sprains, and other wounds, whether it be serious, or minor. In her eyes, injuries are injuries, and need to be fixed. So it is not unusual to see her in with casts or bandages suffocating her figure. However, she does her best to avoid getting injuries, as they get in the way of her fighting. But it is nearly impossible to avoid injuries in the Retribution Army, so in order to minimize the amount of time spent in a brace or cast, she has several scrolls with Healing Magic sealed into them.

Normally, she is seen with her uniform on. Her uniform consists of a cropped, caramel colored jacket. The sleeves extend to her wrists, and are cuffed. The uniform has two fairly medium sized pockets on the left and right side of her chest. On both shoulders, the back, and on her left chest is the Retribution Army symbol. Although she does not exactly hate it, she says she would rather not have so many Retribution Army insignias printed on it. Underneath the jacket, she usually wears a cuffed, long sleeved formal white shirt. While many would wonder what's the point of wearing a formal shirt in the "army", she states that it's a reminder of her humanity. She says that she doesn't want to forget that despite seeing so much war, she is still human. Not a disposable pawn. But a human. Sure, not all humans have extravagant, or fancy clothes, but a soldier only has his/her uniform in the Retribution Army. Nothing else. So that's why she wears a formal shirt underneath her jacket. The rest of her uniform is fairly complex, as it is composed of a device mechanism that is attached to her pants. Like every other soldier, she wears white, flexible leggings. Around her waist is a sash-like cloth that is tightly attached to a belt. The belt has golden studs decorating it. Several thin strips of sturdy leather that are attached to the belt extend to her shoulders and lower back. Around her upper thighs are two strips of leather per leg. These strips of leather are attached to her belt, which help support the weight of her Quick Slash Maneuvering Device (QSMD). The QSMD consists of two fairly large rectangular shaped devices, each attached to hooks on the right and left side of her hips. On top of the two devices are placeholders for gas tanks. The gas tanks that are hooked up with the devices fuel the device. The two devices are attached to a complex mechanism at the back. The mechanism consists of several circular pieces that allows Ayane and other soldiers to shoot two grapple hooks at a targeted area. The gas tanks send gas into the mechanism, and when Ayane shoots the grappling hooks into a certain place, the sheer force of the mechanism releasing the gas is able to propel any user of the QSMD forward, backwards, or side to side. As for shoes,she wears knee-length brown leather boots. She always wears a red scarf, as it was a gift from her partner, Robert.

Before finding the corruption within her adopted family, Ayane could be described as thin and scrawny. She had a paler complexion, and longer hair. Her hair was darker, and slightly longer than her shoulders. Clothing-wise, she wore what could have been considered as commoner's clothes. She wore a simple plain white dress that was ankle-length. Over the dress was a light pink sweater, and for shoes she wore crimson colored sandals. Despite being royalty, and pretty much having everything she wanted, she chose simple clothes that she wouldn't suffocate in. However, due to her position, it was inevitable that she would have to wear ball gowns. The dress that she wore during formal events can be described as elegant and extravagant. Adorned in various frills, lace, and flaps, it can be easy to infer that it is very hard to walk in. The dress's colors can be described as "autumnish". It sports light, orangish-yellowish colors. The upper part of her dress is coral in color, and extends down to her waist before parting and draping behind her. Right beneath her waist are layers of white frills, and yellow cloth. The yellow cloth is adorned with coral colored ribbons tied in bows. For shoes, she wears orange colored slip-on shoes.

Personality
While she may be in a position that forces her to see many of her comrades die, Ayane still retains a cheerful personality, albeit she does have vulgarity in almost everything she says. However, despite being cheerful most of the time, she is easily angered, and will not hesitate to beat anyone to the point of unconsciousness, no matter their rank or title. As she once stated, she will go to any extent to protect her comrades from death. She seems to suffer from survivor's guilt. This was because despite not actually being the most powerful "soldier" of the Retribution Army, she is usually the sole survivor of any group led mission, apart from missions carried out by her an her original squad. Because of her survivor's guilt, she often becomes reckless, and refuses to acknowledge her own life. However, after seeing yet another squad die, she started to realize that if she died, she would've wasted dozens of others' lives. Thus, she tries to get rid of her recklessness, and stop taking the blame for every mistake others make. As many have deduced, Ayane's cheerful attitude stems from her fear of being shunned for her previous status. While princesses are seldom viewed as fighters, Ayane is an exception. Her past fuels her determination to fight against her adoptive family, and she refuses to forget that she is the cause of thousands of peoples' deaths.

Apart from her determination and cheerfulness, several other traits stick out. Her sense of comradeship is something that surprises "cadets" when they meet her. Most automatically assume that she is stuck up, demands royal treatment, and in short, a himedere. Yet after honestly getting to know her, they find that she deeply cares for her comrades, and is not willing to let them die easily. She will go to the extents of abandoning a mission just to help somebody from a different squad get out of a situation.An example of that would be when she aborted an mission to save a squad of cadets from a experiment gone wrong. She is willing to take any reprimand or corporal punishment as a setback when she goes to help her comrades, even stating that, "The way you idiots think is wrong. I get it. I was supposed to kill that little shit who killed a family or two. But I won't do it if my friends are about to face death as a punishment for all the good deeds they've done. That's not a thank you present any of us would want." It goes without saying that she will defend her friends and comrades without a second thought.

Despite being a part of a "army", Ayane shows little to no respect to her superiors, often regarding them as mere peasants who are no better than any other soldier. She dislikes calling them by their titles, and will go out of her way to avoid calling anyone "Commander" (団長 Danchō lit. Head), as she dislikes it when people have authority over her. Thus, many people think that she is incredibly immature, and often reprimand her about it. However, she pays no mind to the lectures, and resumes to act in the manner that she does. Often, her teammates question why she hasn't been thrown out of the Retribution Army for her personality, and how she was even placed at the rank she is at. She often treats her superiors like cadets, reprimanding them for the simplest things, and threatening in them without a second thought, thus creating an air of threat. An exception to this would be her best friend, Robert Kalyfrin. She treats him with respect, and is unwilling to oppose against his ideas. However, there is a fine line between good ideas, and ridiculous ones. She has been seen to slap, punch, and downright beat the shit out of him for trying to attempt futile and dangerous plans. After realizing the importance of staying alive, Ayane will not hesitate to issue a "light" punishment for those who violate her "code of honor".

Her willingness to beat anybody often scares cadets and teammates away, which earned her the nickname, Earthquake (地震 Jishin). Ironically, despite having a minuscule amount of respect for her superiors, she will gladly execute any command given by them, as long as it contributes to the actual cause of the Retribution Army. While there is really nothing mysterious about her, once in a while, she will speak like Yoda from the Star Wars franchise just to confuse people. Unlike many of the other soldiers, Ayane possesses a large sense of humor, with the uncanny ability to turn almost anything into a joke. Despite her position in the Retribution Army, and Shūryō, she is actually quite lenient, often giving second chances, and at least trying to understand the problem. However, she does have a temper, and a rather scary one. Her partner, Robert, has stated that she "Becomes the embodiment of a pissed dragon", and her superiors remark that, "Best stay away when she's angry, nothing scarier than a pissed Hakaisareta".

Because she is a dragon slayer, Ayane suffers from motion sickness. However, because she is an Earth Dragon Slayer, she has the ability to grow plants at a extremely fast rate, thus, she can grow ginger or cloves to help relieve her motion sickness.
