Rui Ochiru

"I welcomed the world with open hands, befriended it. But the world rejected me, and killed everyone and everything I ever loved. That is why I hate this world."

- Rui

Rui Ochiru (涙落ちる lit. Tears Falling) is the sole survivor of the Seinre Purgings; and the last living Seinre in Earthland. The Seinre race was prejudiced for their unique abilities, and were thus purged from humanity by Rune Knights and angry citizens of Earthland. However, Rui was able to survive because of a Ancient Spell placed on her by her mother. The spell shut down Rui's body; causing her to sleep, but not age. The spell wore off approximately 3,000 years after it was casted. At this point, a majority of humanity thought that all of the Seinre had been exterminated. After conducting a thorough investigation of the modern time period, Rui was able to conclude that she was the last living Seinre, and that she could not tell anybody this.

Rui is a member of the elite guild, Phoenix Wings. She was able to join after saving one of their S-Class Mages, who is now her current partner.

Appearance
Because of the Ancient Spell casted upon her as a child, Rui did not age for over three thousand years, thus retaining the appearance she had when her body was shut down. Although many would consider this a blessing, she considers this a curse. No matter how much she ages, her body will not physically deteriorate; the reason being that she is a Seinre. Rui is two inches below the average woman's height, causing many of her guildmates to label her as a midget. Despite this, Rui walks with an authoritative manner, giving an aura of confidence. Rui has claimed to never have slouched in her lifetime, and many believe this claim to be true. She is never slouching, hunching, or anything of that nature. She always has impeccable posture, and will berate anybody who doesn't, even a random passerby. Scarily, Rui possesses a doll-like appearance, with practically perfect skin, and multicolored eyes.

As for clothing, Rui tends to wear clothing that creates a contrast between her hair and whatever she is wearing; thus, her clothes would most likely be a dark color. However, there is one outfit that she consistently wears. This outfit consists of a black and white plaid dress and black lace-up boots. The dress was actually once a tablecloth. Upon waking up three thousand years after her entire race was slaughtered, Rui was still wearing clothes that would by easily identified as Seinre clothes. The Seinre wore extremely extravagant clothes, ranging from golden gowns unfit for battle, to skimpy, decorated bikini-like outfits. In Rui's case, she was wearing a bikini-like outfit that was blue in color. After observing others for a short period of time, Rui discovered that what she was wearing was not considered "normal". So to cover up the fact that she was a Seinre, she stole a table cloth from a picnic table, and tied it around her body. She would later modify it to look like an actual dress. The plaid dress is sleeveless; ending right at her shoulders. It has a black collar, and three white buttons. The dress is loose, and extends to her knees. Rui wears puffy black and white arm warmers. The arm warmers start at her elbows, and end right where her fingers are. In many of her guildmates' perspectives, the shoes she wears come off as strange. Many would automatically assume that one would wear slip ons or sandals while wearing a dress. Instead, Rui wears black leather lace-up boots. After scavenging in a dumpster for several hours, Rui was able to recover several pieces of worn black leather. She was able to sew the pieces of leather together to form a pair of incredibly fragile shoes. In order to reinforce the shoes, Rui used her Opposing Worlds magic to make sure the shoes do not fall apart.

One item that Rui is never seen without is the Akekōkei (明け光景 lit. Dawning Sight). Akekōkei is a strange item that Rui was wearing when she woke up. No matter what, Rui cannot recall any memories of this peculiar item. The Akekōkei is a boxy headset that covers Rui's eyes and part of her forehead. It has two glowing pink futuristic ribbons that seem to have levitating properties; as they are able to hold her twin tails up without actually physically touching her hair. The front of the Akekōkei is a glass-like material with several utilities. Although the material covering Rui's eyes have the appearance of glass, many believe it truly isn't. One reason is because it doesn't shatter when something or someone applies severe pressure on it. The utilities on Akekōkei allow Rui to "become one" with her magic; thus creating a much smoother flow between her Eternano and the actual spell. While Akekōkei does seem like an offensive device as opposed to supportive, Akekōkei is indeed, supportive. It enhances Rui's ability to flow with her magic, and calculate when and where her opponent will strike next, based off her opponent's previous attacks. Thus, the Akekōkei is capable of storing information about Rui's opponents; whether it be their fighting style, or just background information. Surprisingly, Akekōkei stays in place, and will not come off unless Rui takes it off, which is quite rare.

Clothing aside, Rui's physical appearance is not anything remarkable or extraordinary. It is actually quite plain; aside from her doll-like appearance. While not many know of Rui's true eye color, many infer it is the same color of her hair; turquoise. Rui has been said to have soft skin, as she soaks her face an hands in lemon juice every week to achieve the skin she has. Unlike many of her female friends, Rui does not possess a voluptuous body. Instead, she has what would be considered the body of a ten year old. Upon finding out that her entire race had been slaughtered by humans, Rui stopped smilinh, even claiming that she forgot how to. She is always seen with a monotone face on, even during tragic moments. Combined with the Akekōkei, it's a rather frightening sight.
