Personality
 

Diana is a headstrong woman who knows what she wants and how to get it. Her tenacity knows no bounds and she's one hell of a tough cookie. Diana has a strong sense of justice and she'll do anything to get it even if it's unethical or immoral. Crossing her is not a wise thing to do and she won't stop until she's satisfied with her revenge which shows her vindictive side. Diana has a hardcore, sensible attitude when it comes to her duties and is a confident natural-born leader who cares for all of her friends and subordinates and will fight to the finish for them to the point of risking her life. She's fearless and rebellious, often getting into trouble because of her short temper and she definitely has the distinction of being a loose cannon among her peers.

Diana has serious issues with trust due to suffering from abuse and manipulation from her peers and authority figures and is generally distrusting of humanity as a whole. She doesn't open up easily to people and can be rather intimidating due to her rough appearance and crude, harsh way of speaking. Despite her wild, unruly ways, Diana has a deeper nature that is filled with selflessness, loyalty, and compassion. As someone who has had to suffer greatly at such a young age, Diana cannot ignore the true suffering of others and becomes sympathetic upon sensing pain and resolve in people's hearts. Though she will intervene on behalf of the oppressed if she concludes that a situation has called for it, Diana tends to help only those with the will - but not the means - to help themselves, in which case her recklessness and disdain for authority often has her bending the rules (or outright breaking them) to dole out a Robin Hood-esque justice, which has earned her notoriety and popularity among people who are disadvantaged.
 
Diana has a secret past side of her that most people don't know about underneath her professionalism and brutal attitude. Previously she embodied rebellion, drug abuse, and amoralism as well as sexual promiscuity and partying. Diana also had a nonchalant, sarcastic, and mellow attitude, was generally weak in combat, and had many friends and connections within the drug business as well as the local gangs. She's heavily regretful of past events, her old reputation, and although she'll never admit it, embarrassed of what people might think of her being a cop whilst having living evidence of her delinquent, immoral, drug-clouded past as an apathetic, hedonistic hippie.

 
Fears: Snakes, rats, elevators
Favorite Color: Red
Hobbies: Dancing, cars, reading, video games, anime

Past: Diana was born in Memphis, Tennessee to a hard-working, middle-class family, her mother being a cop and her dad being a truck driver. But things came a tragic end when Diana was only 8. Her parents were murdered during a carjacking and Diana along with her older sister Yvette were taken in by their aunt Shavon who lived in Los Angeles. But everything wasn't smooth sailing. Shavon was twice divorced with three sons, suffered from PTSD alongside borderline personality disorder, and was very volatile towards all the kids which made their transition from Detroit to Los Angeles even more difficult. Over the years, Diana's cousins went down a dark path which lead to Travis going to prison, Richard being kicked out of the house due to his drug use, and Teshawn murdered by a local gang.

When Yvette turned 18, Shavon kicked her and 14 year old Diana out after a big argument, causing the two to move in with Yvette's boyfriend Floyd. At first, things were finally going well for once in Diana's life but six months later, Floyd began to make sexual advances towards her which soon escalated to rape. The incidents continued to happen until Yvette walked in on them. Taking Floyd's side over Diana's, Yvette kicked her out. To make matters worse, Shavon sided with Yvette as well, meaning Diana had no place to stay and was homeless.

To cope with her pain and trauma, Diana turned to sex, drugs, and partying and couch-surfed from house to house for a year before moving in with her best friend Denise Sinclair who lived with her older brother Christopher who was 19 at the time. Despite being only 16 at the time, Diana was instantly enamored with Christopher and it wasn't long before they started dating. Diana, Christopher, and Denise were an unstoppable trio in the partying scene and they had a wild, hedonistic lifestyle until Diana's 18th birthday. While they were at a party, there was a drive-by shooting and Christopher was shot protecting her.

Diana was traumatized and felt immensely guilty from the incident. She stopped partying, doing drugs, and shocked everyone by joining the Marines when she graduated from high school. Her MOS was 5803: Military Police Officer. Transitioning to military life was difficult and boot camp was even more difficult but thanks to Christopher and Denise constantly encouraging her and keeping her motivated, Diana graduated with high marks and Christopher surprised her by proposing to her which she eagerly said yes to. It was also during training that she met one of her closest, lifelong friends: Zoe Andersen.

The young couple married after Diana completed her advanced training and she decided to go to college to major in Criminal Justice as well after being persuaded by her higher-ups to do so. Balancing college, military life, and her marriage made life hectic and wild for Diana and throughout the years, she gave birth to two daughters that she named Maxine and Vanessa. After finally graduating from college with a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice, Diana's contract was set to expire but she was planning to renew it and become an officer. But life had other plans.

One day, Diana awoke to find Christopher dead next to her. He suffered from epilepsy and had died in his sleep from a seizure. Because of how unexpected his death was, Diana's life turned upside-down overnight as she now had to raise their daughters on her own while dealing with her grief.

Diana decided not to renew her contract and left the Marines to give her daughters a more stable life. She went back to Los Angeles and settled down with her daughters thanks to the help of Denise and Zoe. Wanting to continue her career in law enforcement, Diana decided to apply for the FBI and joining was a breeze for her. Thanks to her military experience and tenacity, she quickly gained a reputation among her fellow agents and known as a badass who didn't tolerate bullshit.

Now Diana is enjoying her new career in the FBI while balancing single motherhood and making new friends among the way.

Personality


Zafina is a woman with a cold front but a soft heart. Her nickname Ice Queen rings true because she is a severe person with a regal and commanding presence where she is harsh with her peers and coldly merciless to her enemies, often employing a justice-based schadenfreude as well. Sharp-tongued and highly combative, Zafina is no stranger to furious chastisements, especially toward those who fail to live up to her high standards and expectations. As such, she has no tolerance at all for weakness, lack of willpower, and toxic behavior, fostering great distaste for her rich contemporaries whom she views as spoiled brats who are privileged and have never suffered a day in their lives. Zafina has a strong work ethic to the point of being a workaholic and wants to get ahead in life based on her own talents instead of connections or money.
 
One would think that Zafina is judgmental and stuck-up from the way she carries herself but that's far from the truth. She's actually quite expansive and down-to-earth but you have to break through her ice wall in order to see it. Zafina's biggest issue is trust which is the primary reason for why she acts the way she does. She has a lot of pain and trauma that runs incredibly deep and she has become quite bitter and resentful of life, convinced that there isn't really anyone who actually cares about her or who she can trust in hence why she is a loner.

Zafina actually struggles with low self-esteem and self-worth and hides herself away from the world because she doesn't think she amounts to anything and is insignificant. But little does Zafina know, she has much to offer the world and is quite talented and wise. This is where her soft heart comes in. For the people who are lucky enough to get past her cold exterior, they see Zafina's hidden talents and interests as well as how kind and understanding she truly is. Zafina will often uplift her loved ones and give them advice on how to better themselves and their lives, her criticism being brusque and she uses a tough love approach which only amplifies it. But Zafina only acts this way because she wants her loved ones to be the best versions of themselves and she wants to place them on the most direct path forward.

Unbeknownst to most people, Zafina actually does have an expressive and even wild side that she's kept hidden away for years because of her jaded view on people. When around people that she trusts completely, Zafina starts to show more emotion and will even become physically and verbally affectionate towards them. Her true colors start to show and she shines like the rainbow she is when she's in good company. Zafina has much to offer the world but she has to come out of her ice cold shell in order to rise to her true potential.
 
Theme Song: Level Up by Ciara
 
Fears: Failure, being vulnerable
Favorite Color: Black
Hobbies: Anime, video games, cooking, dancing
Tastes In Music: Zafina has a very eclectic taste in music and her library of songs is extensive. Her favorite genres include R&B, rap/hip-hop, soul, and any kind of rock/alternative music.
 
 
Skills

  • Zafina's career as a surgeon gives her a very keen intellect. She is able to detect the smallest details in her patients and can even detect anomalies and problems lesser doctors would not.

  • Zafina is a self-proclaimed foodie and can cook really well. She has numerous recipes that she has created herself and is open to various kinds of cuisine.
  • Zafina is a great dancer and is classically trained, often dancing at nightclubs and studios when she has the chance and even participating in some competitions.

Past: Being the youngest of 8 children, Zafina was born into a household filled with love, privilege, and chaos. There were many fun times and adventures in the Cartwright residence and Zafina had a happy early childhood. But when it came to school, things weren't so great. Zafina was severely bullied by her peers and was quite lonely and isolated. But things started to look up when she started dating Emmett Washington at the age of 15 and he defended her from bullies as well as helping her to build up her self-esteem and self-worth.
 
Upon enlisting in the Army at age 17, Zafina became a Combat Medic and enlisted in college with the goal of becoming a doctor, graduating with a Bachelor's in Pre-Med. This lead to her being promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and going to the Uniformed Services University to become a Field Surgeon. While in medical school, Zafina and Emmett eloped and she had their first child after she graduated.

Emmett wanted Zafina to be a stay-at-home mom but she refused and continued to follow her dreams much to his chagrin. Over the years, Emmett was a stay-at-home dad and studying in college while Zafina advanced in her military career and gained a good but fearsome reputation for herself. But little did Zafina know, things weren't as they seemed.

Emmett was cheating on Zafina the entire time and she discovered that he was planning to leave her for his longtime mistress (whom he had gotten pregnant) after Zafina had their fourth and final child thanks to the mistress' husband (who happened to be in the military as well) informing her about everything. Zafina beat Emmett to the punch and swiftly filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage, throwing him out of the house and cutting him off financially which was easy since they had separate finances.

Their divorce was acrimonious but thanks to the iron-clad prenup they had as well as the evidence of Emmett's infidelity, Zafina got out of the divorce relatively unscathed and Emmett moved away to be with his mistress and start a new family with her since he didn't get what he wanted in the divorce. Emmett refused to co-parent with Zafina nor pay child support out of spite and because he only wanted sons, not daughters.

Despite being heartbroken and now a single mom of 4 kids, Zafina pressed on and continued her military career, eventually retiring and moving to New Jersey with her kids, getting hired at PPTH thanks to her skills and experience. Now she's thriving as a trauma surgeon and raising her daughters on her own while keeping her heart closed to love and relationships.

Personality
 
Veronica is a woman with a quiet, icy, and classy demeanor. She's usually distant and reserved, preferring to express herself through her actions rather than words. Whenever she does speak, she speaks candidly and bluntly with lots of sass. Veronica absolutely abhors small talk and frivolousness. Deep, interesting, and meaningful conversations are more up her alley. Veronica isn't easy to get close to and her headstrong, emancipated nature just makes it even more difficult. She applies the term "Quality over quantity" to everything in her life, especially people. She's rather choosy and picky about who she allows in her heart and is very observant which helps her with making those decisions.

Veronica is very ambitious and has a hard work ethic, bordering on being a workaholic. She's very dominant, tough-minded, and disciplined. She has a "common sense" and "big sister" role amongst her peers, giving them advice, warning them of their actions, and being very protective of them. Veronica has a lot of hidden trauma and pain hidden underneath her "ice queen" persona and keeps many cards close to her chest. She prefers to keep her feelings inside and rarely expresses them.

But one would be a fool to think that Veronica doesn't have a wild and crazy side. Sometimes she gets tired of putting up her walls and will let them down but only when she truly feels comfortable enough to do so. When she does so, Veronica will become kind and even generous and affectionate. She also isn't afraid to have a good laugh and has a healthy if not varied sense of humor. Because of the amount of pain Veronica has gone through in her life, she has a high amount of empathy as well as a big heart and can easily insert herself into other people's shoes. If she sees someone in trouble or struggling, no matter how big or small, she'll do everything in her power to help them if they'll accept it. Her compassion knows no bounds.
 
Veronica's trauma and pain runs deep and it has caused her to become rather repressed and inhibited, especially sexually. She has kept everything inside for so long that she doesn't know how to be vulnerable and open up to others. Despite her beauty, Veronica doesn't think very highly of herself, thinks that her body is unattractive and unworthy of sex and love, and also feels guilt and shame when it comes to expressing herself sexually and having sexual desires. This is something that Veronica is afraid to admit despite evidence to the contrary and it has caused issues in her personal relationships which causes more pain for her.

Theme Song: Dance In The Dark by Lady Gaga

Fears: Failure, being taken advantage of, being vulnerable
Favorite Color: Black
Hobbies: Reading, cars, motorcycles, video games, cooking
Tastes In Music: What Veronica listens to depends on how she's feeling. She has a wide variety of music that she listens to.
 
 
Skills
 
Talents/Skills:
  • Veronica is a skilled markswoman as well as tactician and has won many awards and badges during her time in the Marines.
  • Veronica's main specialties are analysis and counterintelligence. She's excellent at blending in, being undercover, interrogation, and stealth. Intelligence as a whole is her best and most lethal skill.
  • Veronica is quite passionate about cars and motorcycles, being a very skilled mechanic and even participating in races whenever she can. She also has quite a collection that she rarely shares with anyone, considering her cars and bikes her babies.

Past: Veronica's father David was a U.S. Marine and he had met her mother Aileen while he was in college. They fell in love which resulted in Aileen getting pregnant and they eloped in Hawaii. The couple settled down in Fort Hood, Texas where Veronica was born. She had a happy childhood and many great memories but little did she know, things were going to get really bad really quickly.

Aileen and David had gotten divorced when Veronica was 8 due to irreconcilable differences and her parents shared custody of her but Veronica spent most of her time at her mom's place due to her father's career. Her mother had gotten remarried to a firefighter who already had a son and her father had gotten remarried to a prominent military lawyer and had two more daughters.
 
Having a blended family made Veronica come out of her shell and she had great memories with her newfound stepparents and siblings but there were some bad memories to go along with them. Her stepfather Anthony's younger brother Mark was inappropriate with Veronica from the moment he first met her and the grooming soon escalated to full-blown rape when she was 13. Whenever there was a family gathering or reunion, Veronica would be subject to sexual and mental abuse at the hands of Mark but as she got older, she began to fight back against him and avoided him whenever possible, wanting to get away from him and never see him again.

After graduating from high school, Veronica decided to enlist into the Marines, following in her father's footsteps and her MOS was 5811: Military Police. She quickly built a name for herself thanks to her determination/tenacity, hard work ethic, and sassy attitude and it wasn't long before she worked her way up the ranks and became a Special Agent in the Criminal Investigation Division. During this time, she had married her longtime sweetheart and childhood friend Joseph Summers, having twins with him. But their relationship was often tumultuous and filled with tension because of Veronica's devotion to her work, sexual repression, and the changes to her personality which eventually led to their divorce after 5 years of marriage and 10 overall years of being together. On top of that, she was going to college online and eventually got her Bachelor's in Criminal Justice. Veronica was very good at her job to the point where she was considered lethal and was even awarded a Silver Star for her actions. After 8 years in the Marines, Veronica left and decided to move to New York with her ex-husband and kids in tow, joining the Manhattan SVU with ease thanks to her military background and education.

~~About The Character~~

Personality: As her nickname "Stony" would indicate, Athena often has a stone-cold, distant demeanor. She's usually quiet and reserved, only speaking when spoken to or when she feels the need to speak. Small talk and frivolousness aren't her forte. She prefers to have deep and interesting conversations. When it comes to the company Athena keeps, she applies the term "Quality over quantity". It's not easy to get close to her especially being as headstrong and emancipated as she is. Athena's ambition knows no bounds and once she has her mind set on something, not much can deter her from it.
 
Athena is very responsible and often has the "common sense" role amongst her peers, giving them advice and warning them of their actions. She doesn't express her emotions very often, especially around people that she doesn't know, giving her a reputation of being an ice queen. Whenever Athena does speak, she speaks candidly and bluntly which distances her from others, just how she prefers it.

If someone does manage to break down Athena's ice walls, they are rewarded with a loyal and caring friend and companion. She's like a second mother to her close friends, wanting to make sure they're ok and when they're not, she will do whatever she can to help them in both their professional and personal lives. Family is everything to Athena and is very important to her. 

She has a seductive, wild side to her and is very amorous and liberated, having had many lovers and being very experienced in matters of romance and sexuality. Despite this, Athena is very moral and benevolent when it comes to those matters and does not tolerate unethical behavior period. She's devoted, tough, and able to think outside of the box. Athena is very accomplished and professional and only sees things as black and white; either it's right or it's wrong. She never gives up on the job and is often described as working too hard for her own good. She thinks quickly about how to settle or neutralize a situation and it may not be straight by the book, hinting at a more rebellious side of Athena.

As they got older, Athena and her lifelong friend Axel got closer and eventually they started dating when they were sophomores in high school, getting married after graduation.
 
Athena decided to enlist in the U.S. Marines much to the shock of Axel and her parents, becoming military police. During her time in the military, Athena was able to get a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice but her career as an officer was cut short because of an injury and she moved to Domino City with Axel, joining the police department once they were settled and she recovered.

Wanting to further herself, Athena decided to go back to school to get her Master's but sadly it also came with a huge downer. Axel came out as gay and Athena had trouble coming to terms with it but eventually decided that it was best for them to divorce, promising to always remain friends and be there for him if he needed anything.

After obtaining her Master's Degree, Athena became a Sergeant in the police force and now currently she's focusing entirely on her career, wishing to make her mark on the world and hopefully make a difference.

~~About The Character~~

Personality: Zuri is a woman with a complex personality. If you were to ask three different people about her, you would get three different answers. She only shows people what she wants them to see and loves to keep people on their toes. Just when you think you know her, Zuri will show an entirely new side of her that no one knows about.

This chameleon nature of hers allows her to blend in with any crowd and she has many friends from all walks of life. Zuri is also free of all kinds of preconceived notions and judgments which allows her to love unconditionally and view things from all angles unlike many others. However she is no fool and is quite perceptive to the point of reading people rather easily. Thankfully Zuri has enough tact to not voice her perceptions and is very good at keeping secrets.

One would assume that Zuri is very popular because of her complexity but she's far from that. She doesn't care about popularity and is perfectly fine with being a lone wolf, showing her more introverted and individualistic side. Zuri also prefers to march to the beat of her own drum and does what she wants when she wants which doesn't sit well with people who are more conservative and collectivist. 

Zuri secretly has low self-esteem and trust issues which is the reason for her chameleon complexity. She's afraid of being vulnerable and showing weakness in front of others so she prefers to not let people get close to her. She also dislikes conflict and was previously a meek person but as she got older, she became more confrontational and fiery, building up a tough shell to protect herself even further.

Anyone who's lucky enough to be friends with Zuri will be rewarded with affection, compassion, and most importantly, tons of fun. Boredom doesn't exist when she's around! Zuri's sense of humor is also greatly appreciated and cheerful distractions are her specialty!

~~Character Background~~
 
Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, United States Of America
 
Bio/Background: Zuri's childhood was normal yet active and from the age of 5, she had an interest in dueling that didn't go unnoticed by her mother who was a former professional duelist now turned cop. Underneath her tutelage, Zuri became one of the best duelists in her hometown and at age 12, she met the man who would change her life forever: Jeremy Murtaugh who was a friend of her mother's.

He was 18 years her senior and she instantly gravitated towards him because he made her feel beautiful and worthy. Jeremy had become Zuri's mentor and her growing interest in dueling only made their relationship even stronger since he was a professional duelist. But rumors began to spread about their relationship once Zuri's dueling career began to take off.

When Zuri was 13, her younger brother Teshawn was abducted from a department store while she was out shopping with him and her friends. After extensive searching and numerous coverage, his body was found two weeks later. To make matters more stressful, Zuri's parents had decided to divorce due to her father coming out as gay. Zuri was devastated and completely shut down, only opening up to Jeremy and relying completely on him. He took advantage of this and she lost her virginity to him when she was 14 which made their relationship quite sexual and deviant. At this point, Jeremy had started to become manipulative and controlling.

Zuri began to come up with an escape plan behind Jeremy's back but there was one major obstacle in her way: she was pregnant. In response, Jeremy decided to marry her in secret. Due to Zuri being underage, Jeremy bribed a government employee to obtain a fake ID for her which was then used to obtain a marriage license that listed her as 18 instead of 15. At that point, Zuri's parents were getting worried about her change in demeanor and how she was changing physically. But she refused to speak and shut herself off from everyone who loved her at that point. The only person in her world was Jeremy as far as anyone was concerned.

But everything came to light one night when Jeremy discovered that Zuri was trying to escape his grasp. He violently raped and beat her but Zuri managed to escape after stabbing him with a knife and called her mother before passing out. When she woke up, she was in a hospital bed and her baby was gone. Due to the beating that Jeremy gave her, Zuri had miscarried which caused everything to come to light.

Zuri's parents were furious and got the marriage between her and Jeremy annulled but not before Carmelita placed him under arrest. Zuri was too terrified to speak up because of the publicity and the threats to her career but thanks to the encouragement of her fellow duelists and her family, she decided to do so in order to prevent Jeremy from doing what he did to other girls.

To make the case even more airtight against Jeremy, Zuri gave one of his laptops to her mother which contained numerous videos of them engaging in sexual acts together as well as with other underage girls. Zuri also gave the police an external hard drive which contained videos of Jeremy's abuse against her as well as a video diary in which she talked about their relationship in great detail and how it was destroying her relationship with her family.

In order to keep Zuri safe during the investigation, she was sent to Battle City to go into hiding but she still wasn't free from Jeremy. He kept intimidating and blackmailing her to keep her from speaking out and testifying but Zuri wouldn't budge thanks to her new environment allowing her to flourish and thrive. She kept records of all conversations between them to hurt him even further as well.

By the time the trial began, there was so much evidence against Jeremy alongside Zuri's emotional testimony that the jury was only out for 30 minutes before reaching a verdict: Guilty.

Jeremy was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his many crimes and his reputation and image were forever ruined. Much to Zuri's surprise, her reputation in the dueling world wasn't negatively affected by the ordeal and many of her fellow duelists (especially female duelists) supported her immensely. The amount of love and support Zuri received made starting her newfound life without Jeremy much easier and when she turned 18, she was discovered by a photographer which lead to her beginning her modeling career and eventually becoming a supermodel, being a muse for many prominent designers.

Now Zuri is enjoying her modeling and dueling careers, seeming to be on top of the world but little does everyone know, she has her own demons that she struggles with and they sometimes rear their ugly head.

Mother's Age: 49-50 (Pre-Timeskip); 55 (Post-Timeskip)
Mother's Job: Police Field Sergeant
Relationship With Mother: Aaliyah and Athena have a close relationship that's also a bit distant because of Athena's job and tendency to be an overbearing, protective hardass at times.

Despite the tension between them, Aaliyah loves her mother dearly and often worries about her when she's on the job.

Aaliyah was angry at her father for lying and staying in the closet for so long but she eventually came around as time went on and now she's very close with her father.

Stepfather's Job: Fire Captain
Relationship With Stepfather: Aaliyah greatly adores Hiroki and considers him a second father. She also looks up to him because of his past and how he's managing to overcome his demons.

Younger Sister's Job: Dispatcher (Post-Timeskip)
Relationship With Younger Sister: Aaliyah and Zafina definitely have a "partners in crime" relationship and they're very protective of each other. Zafina's alternative style of dressing is greatly appreciated by Aaliyah and it's not uncommon to see them shopping together and trying out new clothes. Zafina also has a dark personality fitting of a goth and it compliments Aaliyah's chameleon personality quite well, leading to some rather sinister mischief involving them sometimes.
 
Love Interest(s): Ryunosuke Tanaka, Tobio Kageyama, Daichi Sawamura, Kiyoko Shimizu, Koshi Sugawara, Asahi Azumane

~~History Profile~~

Background: Aaliyah was born in Japan to an African-American couple and seemingly had a perfect childhood. But her father Michael was a closeted gay man and he finally came out when Aaliyah was 13. Although her parents tried to keep things normal and wanted to make their marriage work, they eventually decided to get a divorce but it was amicable and they promised to always remain friends.

A year later, Aaliyah had a new stepfather by the name of Hiroki Bushida who was a captain for the fire department and she eagerly welcomed him with open arms, considering him a second father. Having a blended family gave Aaliyah the fire that she desperately needed to stand up to her bullies and becoming a better person as she attended high school.
 
Now Aaliyah is currently in medical school with the goal of becoming an OB/GYN.
