Character
Name: Azuka Kasim
Age: Appears 25.

World Background:
Azuka hails from a time when humanity is ejected from Earth and has to live in space until they could find another habitable planetor wait until they could return to Earth. As such, humanity is sufficiently technologically advanced to survive out in space. There are no known extraterrestrial life forms hunting down humans, and if anything, conflict is between humanities' various factions within itself.

Concurrently with Azuka's story unfolding, another young woman she's connected with, Myria Chesterfield, is suddenly transported to a world that would later become to be known as the planet Mimameidr. During her journeys, Myria discovers that her missing father had taken this planet by force and that she was able to influence the "reality" of the planet due to having her father's DNA within her. Long story short, eventually Myria defeats her father and gives the power to shape reality back to the inhabitants of the planet, but was only able to do that with the support of the people back home.

The manner in which this concerns Azuka will be revealed further down.

Character Personality:
Though the trope of a weaponized robot in the shape of a woman finding love isn't anything new (I'm sure you're thinking of at least three right now), Azuka defies the stereotype in a rather specific way - she never had issues with expressing emotion. To Azuka, it wasn't just about love, it was about humanity and the right to exist as her own person. To Kisarigi, she knew that whenever he looked at her that he saw Mia Harwer. To Shigure, she looked like a gateway to Dr. Mizrahi's greatest work. This all changed when she forged a bond with Hatsuyuki, because to him she was simply Azuka, and she was irreplacable as herself. Azuka's journey wasn't about finding emotion, it was about finding the value in herself.

Even with that, Azuka isn't exactly a bucket of angst. As a prototype for the Observation Realian, Azuka has a preprogrammed knack for reading people and seeing what makes them tick, and being able to react somewhat appropriately. She did rather well as a waitress, being able to tell what her customers wanted and building rapport with them. Overall she tends to do very well with people, knowing when it's appropriate to joke and such - she also has set boundaries, and has little issue with telling someone off if they're just plain rude or crazy. This is mostly due to her survival and self-preservation instincts - when provoked, Azuka's not nearly the frail woman she appears to be.

Outwardly, Azuka is fairly typical - she comes off as a silent beauty with a mysterious air about her, exuding an air of elegance. When she does open her mouth, typically she comes off as well-spoken and learned, wording her speech very carefully - she tends to speak formally, and while she understands slang terms, she doesn't really use it unless quoting what someone else has said. While cheerful isn't the first word an acquaintance would use when describing her, a smile isn't an entirely uncommon sight.

Underneath that, however, lies a fairly stubborn will - Azuka has a clearly defined sense of right and wrong, and while she's not so stubborn to be unwilling to admit there are grays and other viewpoints, she tends to be rather impulsive. Her programming basically allows her to analyze and situation and react accordingly in a quick manner without double-checking, due to her combat structure - she is prone to not mince words when disagreeing with someone. Her words then tend to be curt - she realizes that people do not disagree to share information, they disagree to force their own perspective onto someone else, so she does not attempt to facilitate that.

When someone isn't perceived as a threat, Azuka also shows the basics of a sense of humor. While not sardonic or hurtful, her sense of humor tend to go to the lighter side of things to lighten the mood. She has no issue with laughing at other peoples' jokes, and often you'll find Azuka trying to tell a joke (maybe poorly) during a serious or down moment as more of a reminder that maybe, just maybe, there are better things that could be concentrated on.

Unfortunately, Azuka doesn't display much creative talent outside of singing - while she can, say, do a near-photorealistic sketch of someone she remembers, she can't exactly paint something like Monet. When cooking, she tends to be very strictly by-the-book and follow recipes exactly, or find suitable replacements. This is due to her programming, where she knows what the end result is supposed to be, but she tends to not want to leave much, if any, room for potential error. So if she's missing salt, she's not going to even consider using sugar as a substitute - this often also spills over into other areas of her life, making her sometimes inflexible. With time she got better with this - if someone she trusts says things are going to be all right, she'll do whatever she can within her power to make it so with what she has on hand.

Finally, Azuka displays amazing information retention and analyzation skills, and is able to apply them with fair ease. Basically, she has pattern recognition (gee, that monster isn't reacting much to electricity. Maybe I shouldn't keep using electric attacks on it). This also factors into straight intelligence in the idea that she has a vast amount of knowledge stored away in her mind, or if she doesn't currently have that information, she can research it and retain that data.
