B I O D A T A

Name: Shuya Ferris
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Job: Beginner
Stats: STR 15 | DEX 7 | INT 5 | LUK 9

STR: Raised to defend herself, hold her ground and (if necessary) withstand a punch or two or more to defend her wares whenever she met with thieves in the city. Due to her constant travelling and journeys out to gather materials for her family's business, she has also trained up quite a bit of physical stamina from transporting the load back alongside all that climbing and hiking.
DEX: Shuya isn't the most proficient with handling weapons or delivering accurate and effective blows, but she does try to make up for her lack of technique and precision with her raw brute strength. (it doesn't always work)
INT: "Do first, think later" is a mantra she goes by. Having lived in the same city all her life, Shuya has little knowledge about the world beyond Kerning City, and mostly relies on (sometimes not so reliable) tales and anecdotes from travellers that visit her family's stores. She also has had little to no experience with magic and has no idea how to cast it at all. Her entire family sees no need to dabble in it, even though it continues to fascinate her.
LUK: Living in a city like Kerning City has kept her alert and wary of thieves, conmen, and shady dealers as well as how to deal with them. She has also learnt to make quick getaways in tricky situations out of necessity.
 

Personality:
+ Positive | + Resilient | + Determined | + Adaptable | - Reckless | - Overconfident | - Calculative | - Stubborn
= Idealistic | = Energetic | = Inquisitive
A playful bundle of energy, there is little that can get Shuya down for long. Even if something does manage to get her down, she's able to bounce right back up to her feet within a short amount of time to stubbornly try again. However, she has the knack of overestimating herself and being too confident of her own abilities, recklessly charging headfirst into situations that should have been more thoroughly thought through beforehand. She also tends to be stubborn in heeding others' advice, assuming that she naturally understands her situation better than anyone else would. On top of this, she has a tendency to count tit for tat, making her relatively calculative especially when it comes to matters concerning mesos and treasure. Still, she believes idealistically in being able to make a difference in the world, and will not hesitate to make known her ideals in front of others.

Origin: Kerning City  
History:
Born in a family of businessmen, Shuya was brought up in the shady streets of Kerning City where her parents owned a trading business trading raw ores, minerals, metals and materials to the people of the city. Her family comprised excellent businessmen and, despite the shadiness of their hometown, only believed in fair and clean trade and business. Traders from other cities had heard of their growing family business and some had even made the trip to Kerning City just to patronise their stores. Any material customers wanted could be obtained -- but of course, for the right price. 

Shuya was mostly in charge of gathering the resources from the nearby outskirts of Perion, but her love for adventure often left her wondering what lay beyond the arid and foggy lands she visited, dreaming about what more life had in store for her beyond the concrete jungle of Kerning City she had grown up in. She longed to explore the lands that lay beyond it, just like her older brothers had left home to expand the family business to do. There was much about her city she had wished to change and reform; things like bridging the poverty gap, making it a safer place to live, or even helping it to develop into a bustling city of trade like the neighbouring Kerning Square. But alas, she realised over the years that staying in her city would do little to satisfy the burning ambitions she had, or change much of the living conditions her family had been adapting to for decades. Many times she had been told by her family to be content with her life, and to quieten the idealistic ambitions she had for her city and herself. Running the family business and ensuring that it continued to prosper was all that she needed to focus on. 

Once she had turned 15, Shuya pitched the deal that would change her life forever -- for her parents to let her venture outward to expand the family business beyond Kerning City like her older brothers had done. Of course, this was partially a lie, as Shuya's main aim was to leave the city and journey to seek her destiny and a way to change her city and hometown for the better, but Shuya knew this was the most likely bargain that she could possibly strike with her parents. Though they were somewhat suspicious of her underlying intentions, Shuya's parents relented anyway, assuming that their daughter would surely return in desperation if she had failed, believing this to be the way for her to finally learn that she was wrong. And so Shuya left Kerning City and set off in search of the Great Maple Tree she had heard about from a traveller from Maple Island, confident that with the power bestowed from this tree (if what she had heard proved to be real), she would surely find a way to change things for the better.
