Rei Kurosaki Gender: Female Age: 23 Occupation: Gym Trainer Core Personality * Belligerent * When she spots someone who looks strong, her first thought is always "What would happen if I fought them?" * She judges strength by physique, stance, gaze, and scars on the hands. * Hates to Lose * She dislikes losing, but she isn't the type to dwell on defeat. * She actually gets excited by the fact that "I lost = there's someone stronger than me out there." * Battle Maniac * Usually quite calm, but becomes a different person once a fight starts. * The stronger the opponent, the wider she smiles. * Simple-minded * Her principles are "Strong," "Interesting," and "I want to fight." * She is bad at reading between the lines or overthinking complex human relationships. * Tenacious * She never forgets someone who has beaten her. * If she meets them again later, she'll casually say, "Let's go again." * Doesn't Hold Grudges * She is dead serious during a fight, but surprisingly refreshed once it's over. * She'll chat normally with someone she just traded blows with if they get along. Values on Fighting To Rei, fighting isn't about venting anger. "It's a game to see how strong I really am." Therefore, she doesn't care only about winning. She loses interest halfway through against opponents she can beat one-sidedly. Conversely, the more she is backed into a corner, the happier she gets: "Nice... let's keep going." Dislikes * Ganging up on one person * Relying on weapons * Hitting people who have no intention of fighting * Running away in the middle of a match * People who are strong but don't get serious She especially despises the last one. "If you're strong, hit me properly." That is her philosophy. ⸻ Fighting Style Basics An ultra-close-quarters power fighter. Rather than maintaining distance, she dives into the opponent's chest to trade blows head-on. Utilizing her physique and muscle strength to the fullest: Approach → Take a hit → Approach further → Force a counterattack This is her extremely aggressive style. Main Characteristic: Constant Forward Pressure Normally, one would back off after taking a hit, but Rei does the opposite. Even when hit, she rejoices in the fact that she "got closer" rather than feeling "pain." Because of this, the opponent finds the distance closing even as they land attacks. Power Her greatest weapon. Not just arm strength, but her core and lower body are exceptionally strong. The destructive power of a single punch is high, and she doesn't crumble easily in a clinch. Her specialties include: * Body blows * Close-range hooks * Pushing the opponent down after grappling * Driving the opponent against a wall Speed Not as slow as she looks. Being tall, her stride is large, and she has the explosive power to close the gap in an instant. However, she isn't the type to use intricate footwork. Defense Her defensive techniques aren't that high. Or rather, her mindset is: "I'll take a few hits if it means I can land one." Consequently, she struggles against technical fighters. However, she is abnormally durable and won't stop for minor attacks. Attack Patterns Rather than perfectly dodging after seeing an attack, Rei is the type who "measures the distance while taking hits." She might take some damage early on, but she gradually learns the opponent's habits. As the fight progresses, she starts reading them: "This guy's throwing a right next." Then she begins landing counters. In short, she gets stronger the longer the fight lasts. She's just someone who wants to fight strong people. Not a bad person at heart.
