CRAU info:

Daria first arrived in Koriko ([community profile] forestcovered) feeling scared, annoyed, and thus regressed a bit in her growth. Unrelated to everything and everyone, refusing to speak to others or associate with the weirdness of Koriko. Even as the Librarian(TM), where she was surrounded by books and knowledge of many lands beyond her own. That was, until she met a man. Ichimatsu Matsuno of the Matsuno family. Like her, he was cynical and quiet. She immediately bonded with him and soon enough...opened her heart to others with friendship. Including the rest of his family, who caught on that she was close with their brother.

That was then when they opened up about their world to her, and it was far different and chaotic. This helped her truly realize that there were so many different worlds. Worlds that she just can't apply her own world's logic to, but instead her attention and critical thinking in general. Her sympathy in others grew, and thus her worldly knowledge. There were so many things that existed beyond her own world, and she had to accept that people just didn't follow her rules and it wasn't always their fault.

But then, all of her new friends left one by one.

Soon enough, the man she grew to fell in love with left, right after a heartfelt confession.

She had no control of her loneliness, no control of what part of her world she could see. She missed her world, hated the fate she was given. Her loneliness grew bitter.

Once again, a man showed up. This man came into her life defending her with violence. Violence he never excused, and violence he never tried to forcefully defend.

Once again, it tested Daria and her morality. The violence and the demeanor of this man, hidden by hatred and protectiveness. Juzo Sakakura. Her future best friend, completely aligned with Jane from her world. That important. A man who was riddled with guilt and cynicism of his own, yet love for those he felt important and a good head to do so. Daria felt...connected once more, once again. A few more heart to hearts that she opened up to, giving a chance to explain the logic of his world and his actions. Daria was blessed, privileged. And she realized this with everyone's cruel upbringings and cruel backstories, being born or forced into things beyond their control. Daria had no right to judge them, but hear them. Be there to offer a hand to those who would respect her and listen. Daria, now fully, accepted her own kindness and place in her world.

But then it happened again. But not as harshly, possibly.

Juzo's real loved ones came to stay, feeling left out of the loop and left out of lives all over again. Feeling the loneliness and fear of it grapple her heart, sure that the same thing would make her face this world of unknowns all over...she broke down. She ran away, and nearly got herself killed. Until someone came to look for her.

She did a very selfish thing, regarding her feelings and thinking the world will move on without her. But it didn't, not in the slightest. Her new friends, despite having their own real friends and loved ones, they worried about her. Despite having a world they will go back to, and possibly had a piece of home there. Juzo worried about her, and his words made her think harder.

Why was she so insistent on making herself miserable? Why did she insist so much of the world wanted to take her down? Why was she letting it? From then on, she took her fate by her literal bootstraps. If this was the hand she was dealt with, she was going to make the best of it. She could make the greatest friends along the way and maybe soon they would part ways, but it didn't mean the end. She held on to her bonds and moved on. Cherishing her closest allies in the best way and even secretly enjoying the learning of new worlds. Even if both [community profile] forestcovered and her very brief stunt in [community profile] progresscity came with all of that world's annoyances, she was never alone. Maybe she'd even meet with those old friends again.

Personality:

When people meet someone like Daria, there can really be a wide amount of opinions. Her friends think of her as no nonsense, headstrong, realistic, wise, mature, and cool. Her foes would see her as negative, weird, creepily monotone, bitter, and plain. All are very true, to an extent.

Daria had grown up as a very antisocial type, and up to this point, still is. She's a very introverted sort who finds comfort in those few people, and judges a social situation quickly for comfort. Rather because, she very much prefers quiet and simple comforts. She is an avid reader and writer, and keeps to such creative and intellectual pursuits. She's the girl who was known as the "brain", someone who actively goes out of her way to avoid people and parties and would rather learn and study. Such is truly, as the girl has her room riddled with medical replicas and posters of Kafka. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have her vices: like garbage TV, bad movies, loud music, violent video games, and lots of greasy pizza. A total nerdy teenage girl, now young adult.

Many people find her to be rather cold and not very personable at first, and she is. Daria has a rather low opinion of the world, and doesn't shy away from saying just how critical she is with rather snarky and cynical comments. While she's not as misanthropic as she was in the beginning of canon, she still isn't open to trusting people unless if they give her a real reason to. She still holds a contempt for the shallow and superficial, and is brutally honest about her opinions. But she holds her opinions close to her, and comes to her own decisions on them in the end of the day. Daria doesn't believe in faking enthusiasm, or faking in general, and doesn't even so much smile unless something really truly pleases her. She has a history of being so rigid on her values that she's just as hard on herself as she is on others, and that's because she has crazy high expectations of how things SHOULD be. Which, on the whole, ARE good; but they have fed her cynical outlook.

As she had lived in an environment that fought her through thick and thin on her ways of being herself, she had to have a lot of confidence, integrity, and strong will to keep being sane and true. Daria knows what she's about, and grew even more of a self awareness to herself and her flaws as she got older. She had even flatly stated when she was told how her attitude can make her miss out on things and that she knows it's not perfect, but it was what she knew. Daria's confidence isn't skin deep per-say, but she knows underneath her layers is a very sensitive center that could very well get hurt by others if she let it. That came about since she was around six years old, when the kids all made fun of her for being the bookworm kid. Her isolation is just as much self inflicted as it was from others around her. When a situation is not desirable, she has a tendency to send the barbs out quick. Sometimes too quick, making her look sometimes unfriendly and overly judgmental. When she's particularly angry is when she can be downright nasty, cutthroat and merciless. No matter if the person deserved it or not. If people hated her, that was fine. Better that people hated her than wait for them to hurt her. It was easier to be in the background to avoid permanent teenage exile. To deal with the crap from school and her family with sarcasm. It wasn't until she met Jane that she knew what having a friend was like. Someone to trust. Someone to care about.

Because of Jane, Daria had learned what it also meant to be a good friend. Despite her mistakes at times because of her social weirdness, it's usually very clear when Daria highly respects you. She struggles with intimacy but people who approach her with fairness and kindness do get it back. Which comes from deep within. She would be more willing to engage in discussion and the like, and see the points of view of such people. The more she likes you, the more you can see her true self. Despite her cold nature and deadpan expression, Daria is actually very quite compassionate. When people get hurt by the real cruelness of others and situations, she shows real distaste for it. Daria does help others, and has done so whether people ask for it or not. People who get that far usually do find her to be a safe place to discuss things because, no matter the situation, she was going to be as frank and honest as she could with any advice. Such things are totally sincere. She truly has a good sense of justice and moral fortitude, far above her peers that she sticks by. Her words and her mind are her power, and when they are really needed to solve and issue she will aim to use it. She grew a bit less defensive due to her growing world view that is constantly expanding, and the people she met across time and dimensions. In the end of the day, she follows an important mantra: stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless, logic and experience prove you wrong.

Which is one of her strongest points, her logic. Daria is highly smart. Genius level. Her skills in knowledge expand in book smarts and common sense. When she's going through a problem, she'll analyze the points to get to a resolution to the very best of her ability. Even though she acts apathetic and unmotivated, she has made strides to put effort into what actually matters. She'll go beyond really only when the situation really calls for it, but no work is left half finished. A bit lazy, but does things competently. No point isn't backed up with reasoning or evidence. There is no tolerance for nonsense of others, and she will tell people what she finds wrong in every amount of detail.

Her growth became more apparent while in Koriko. Besides the seasoned experience in the crazy supernatural, inexperience from her old life was put into play. This made her grow to be more susceptible to really try understand moral implications of the new world she was in and the worlds others came from. Daria now realizes that people are from other worlds that didn't have the same rules or privileges as hers. Thus, this helped her grow her skills in dealing with bad situations as they come and staying calm in a crisis. She's not going to win any social butterfly prizes, but her open mindedness had improved and her aim to be a more dependable person for the people stuck in the same crappy situation became more noticeable.

Abilities & Inventory: Daria is a normal human who would just have a normal body and the drawbacks of being a small girl with no athletic ability yet a big brain. She's about to graduate college and has a backpack filled with literature, pens, notebooks, a scientific calculator, a couple textbooks, and a sweater. College things.



ARMADA SELECTION

Corsairs. If you asked Daria a few years ago, she'd probably wouldn't pick either but eventually the Paladins. Even now, she'd prefer if she didn't join any. But after her stunts in CRAU, she felt differently. She was always against the authority in her own way, but the idea of governing others and their lives...it would feel very wrong to her. She believes in doing the right thing, being moral, but not at the cost of others and their feelings. Y'know, if it made sense to her...people can justify themselves fine if they really try.
