♛ First Impressions

♡ VISUAL: The first thing anyone probably notices about Cheryl is that she's a young-ish (early 20something-looking) Caucasian lady on the tall side, standing at about 6'1''/about 160 cm. She's also not lacking for curves, with a pretty generous hourglass frame and just a bit of pudge in the stomach. She has wavy chestnut hair that goes down to a little past her armpits, amber eyes, a doe-eyed face like a damn Didney princess, and pale skin that burns easily. As far as body modifications go, she has some basic piercings in her ear cartilage, besides the standard one in each earlobe. Once you get her undressed, there's also a few more notable features: a spider lily tattoo on her back left shoulder, several faded stretch marks in different places throughout her torso, and legs that end in badly-scarred stumps just below her knees.
♡ FASHION: It's not going to be apparent through most of Airlocked, given the jumpsuits. However, Cheryl's sense of fashion is very solidly on the gothy side. This usually takes the form of fun accessories and her favorite band T-shirts when in her everyday clothes, but can get up to corset tops and bold makeup when she feels like dressing up. She also always covers up her legs, either by wearing long pants/skirts, or by wearing tights or thigh highs under a shorter skirt.
♡ DEMEANOUR: Cheryl is a perky sort of girl, always carrying herself with at least a little confidence. She's also somewhat sassy, and it kinda shows with her tone and posture. Has a tendency to fidget and is pretty expressive when it comes to gestures.
♡ SOUND: Imagine this with a slight New Yorkian accent.
♡ SCENT: Cheryl tries her best to keep clean and reasonably well-groomed, but she doesn’t really wear much perfume at all. She does, however, tend to prefer basic shampoos/lotions/soaps that have a fruity sort of scent to them, so that might pick up if she’s just stepped out of the shower or someone has a really good sense of smell. More to the point, while it’s been a few years since she quit smoking (although events in RP-land can have her pick the habit back up again), she does still live with a regular cigarette smoker, and thus her clothes do faintly smell the part.
♡ MENTAL INFORMATION: So, one of Cheryl’s abilities is psychic empathy. This can only go so far; Cheryl can suss out someone’s general emotional state, but can’t read actual thoughts or immediately know exactly why someone feels the way they do. So she’ll be able to tell if someone’s nervous or afraid, for instance, but not whether it’s because they have some horrible secret, or just because someone else in the room scares the crap out of them. She can also use mindspeak/brainspeaky wordnoises at will, although her telepathy doesn’t go very far and she cannot read minds. In settings where characters don’t have their powers nerfed, feel free to have your own psychic character suss this out, or you can contact me about it.
♡ MAGICAL INFORMATION: See “Mental Information” above.

♡ BACKTAGGING: Go for it!
♡ FOURTHWALLING: Other people knowing about Pokemon is alright, but I’d rather not break this girl’s sense of reality and let her know she’s from a video game world, at least not right now! This is subject to possibly change later.
♡ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: She’s taken, so she’s not gonna go much beyond basic flirting or pecks on the cheek as far as romantic stuff goes (she’s a tease; I’m sorry.) She’s very affectionate as far as platonic stuff goes, so hug all you want!
♡ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Things like slaps to the face and such are fine, but for anything more serious than a nasty bruise/minor cut or scrape, ask me first.
♡ RELATIONSHIPS: I’m down for all the platonic stuff, but as for romantic...well, she’s taken (and also demi as fuck when it comes to romance.) She’s prone to harmless teasing and flirting if your character is of the male persuasion and a certain type of attractive, but it ain’t gonna go farther than that, fellas.

This is probably going to be nerfed in Airlocked, but in the event that it isn’t, comment here with anything you’d like me to know regarding how this affects your character (or if you’d like to opt out of this entirely.)
