"I never would've thought that being a hero would be my future career. I've been told I didn't have the guts for it and that it was too dangerous for me."

Name// Raelynn Asuka Takahashi
Nicknames// Ra-ra (her little sister), Rae, lynnie and little songbird (her grandfather)
Age// 19-21
Gender// female
Sexuality// Pansexual but still questioning
Appearance// Raelynn stands at a height of around five foot four with a an athletic build though having an hourglass shape. She has luscious light golden blonde hair that reaches down to her waist and a porcelain skin tone,
having a small button nose and heart shaped lips. Raelynn's eyes have been described to a be a soft crystal blue color but when her quirk is activated they tend to glow a bit and have a more ethereal look to them, looking more like a cerulean color with long thick eyelashes.

Attached to her back are a large pair of pure white wings, being of a bird-like structure with a few soft yellow feathers at the base of her wings. On occasion there will be on or two small downy feathers that sprout from the top of her head though they are quick to fall off and typically only sprout when the seasons change. Raelynn doesn't really have any noticeable blemishes or scars when you first lay eyes on her though in reality she has a few small or faint ones in places where you wouldn't look first, like having a faint scar across the back of her neck that's hidden underneath her hair or one where her wings meet her back that's a bit more noticeable. She has a beauty mark behind her right ear and doesn't have any tattoos or piercings besides the standard ear piercings she already has.

"Do I really have to go out there? There's just..so many people."

Personality// You would think that as a hero Raelynn would exhibit or have some of the same qualities as them such as brave like All Might, fearless like Hawks or confident like Midnight, right? Wrong. If you were new to Japan and didn't know of her hero status, you would think that she was anything but a pro hero. She is quite the introverted and rather soft-spoken female in most situations, hating to be in the spotlight despite it being part of her jobs. She isn't a fan of large crowds but puts up with it because she just and surprisingly, she has come a long way social-wise from when she was younger her. Raelynn is a pretty relaxed and laid back person to be around when she's not in the zone, even though with her there will rarely be a boring moment with her despite her not being one with a super high social meter. She wishes to live life to the fullest and honestly sees no point in trying to stress yourself out and make yourself miserable all because of what other people expect of you (shes a hypocrite when it comes to this). She is easily frustrated and flustered when things doesn't go as planned or when she is flirted with and will not know how to react when it happens though she will try her best to work through it.

However, when she's in the zone it's like a switch flips inside of her and she can be quite daring and pretty serious, especially when it comes to her job as a hero and influencer and other things that she's really serious about. She's been described as a wolf in sheep's clothing before, having such an innocent and soft facade when you look at her and yet when she's in her zone it's like she's an entirely different person. She isn't very fond of disrespect and is quite passionate and vocal about her beliefs when she feels like it is necessary, not being the type to really step down from something that she feels needs to be addressed (even if on the inside she's a bumbling mess) and tends to forget where to draw the lines, sometimes crossing them without even realizing it. When she's in the zone it's best not to do anything that would really irritate her since when she's like this it's basically her most serious and focused state and often how she lets out her frustrations despite her usual level of composure and initial shyness. Trust me, you don't want to be in her way when she's dead set on doing something or when it's you against her when she's frustrated. She's a bit of a perfectionist and is her biggest critic when it comes to herself and tends to do things impulsively instead of thinking g it through in fear of becoming drowned in her own self deprecating thoughts. She does do small, barely noticeable things to keep herself in check or remind herself that she shouldn't be doing or thinking something like pinching her arm and lightly tugging on the ends of her hair.

"Perfection was always the standard. It's kind of hard to try and break those habits now."

But despite all of that, when Raelynn is a good mood this female is quite pleasant to be around. While yes, she can be a bit huffy and grumpy at times when she's not in the best of spirits and isn't all too self-assured, she is a good person and just wants to have firm and honest relationships with people. If you are one of the few people that she has grown to like, she is the definition of a protective friend even if she may not externally look like it. She will stand up for you to anyone who tries messing with you even if she doesn't like being the center of attention or confrontations and will not back down until that person gives in or she makes them give in. She doesn't take people messing with those close to her very lightly. She has the loyalty of a lion so know that if you have her in your life as a friend, family member or even significant other than you basically have a personal bodyguard at your disposal. She enjoys the simple things in life and likes to just appreciate the small things that other people may not notice like the feeling of the wind underneath her wings or the daisies that bloom in the park by the lake. She isn't very much of a social person and while she is pretty friendly to everyone she comes across, she is pretty selective of who she has in her close friend group. She knows very well that not everyone can be trusted and makes sure to be pretty aware of that, being quite observant as she's selecting her friends and hanging around people. If she feels a weird vibe from you and thinks that you wouldn't be a good fit as her friend then she won't really put much of an effort to try and become friends with you. She hates to waste time and energy though that may change depending on a few circumstances. She is quite persistent and a tad bit stubborn despite people thinking she may be a pushover, liking to bulldoze through things and get it done quickly rather than waste time even if it means having to step out of her comfort zone.

It also isn't uncommon to see this girl sleeping about anywhere. Literally anywhere. If she's tired and she finds a place to sleep, I can bet you that she'll be out like a light in less than five minutes and she's a heavy sleeper so good luck on getting her up unless you're carrying her. She has falling asleep during a meeting with her agency before and while they didn't want to awaken the sleeping little bird, they had to and she had a small attitude for the rest of the meeting.

"Come on guys, stop tormenting the poor child. Hey, are you alright?"

Backstory// Born as the eldest daughter to both a retired model and a pro hero, her parents always held high hopes for Raelynn. Having been gifted a "beautiful" and "delicate" quirk as her parents described, they have believed that her quirk and beauty should be shared and raised to perfection so at a young age of around five she was pushed into the spotlight. First she had been put into figure skating and then once her quirk was discovered she was put into a chorus and modeling. And because she loved her parents and wanted to make them proud she just went along with everything they put her into despite her hating most of it. But at the end of the day she was able to always have a smile out onto her face by her grandfather who told her so many stories of his days as a pro hero and whenever he played his guitar along with her singing. And when her little sister was born it brought even more joy to her life.

When she hit her teenage years she had been signed to a company and became a public idol until one day when she was walking through town she had been involved in a villain attack and taken as a hostage where she was soon saved by Kamui Woods, and that's when a spark was lit inside her and she realized that she wanted to become a pro hero. Of course her parents completely disagreed with her, telling her that she had been doing so well and  that they didn't think a career as a pro hero suited her and why throw it all away for a dream like that but she persisted and begged and begged until she kind of just went off onto her own and made it happen. Her little sister and grandfather were on board with her dream and supported her throughout her training, her grandfather even helping her out sometimes and giving her tips on using her quirk.

"Come on Raelynn, you can do this. Oh god—why did I ever let you talk me into this?"

Hero or villain?// hero
Quirk name// Ethereal Canary
Quirk explanation// Being the direct combination of her mother's siren quirk and her father's Harpy Eagle quirk, Raelynn was born with the quirk Ethereal Canary. Her quirk gives Raelynn her large wings which resemble those of a white canary who are known for their beauty and excellent singing, allowing her to fly. Her feathers of her wings also have a special property and when she swipes her wings or a singular feather over someone's eyes she is able to trigger mental flashbacks and memories of that person which can helpful when slowing down enemies in battle or helping someone remember something they've forgotten.

The main part of her quirk though is her voice which depending on the type of song she sings or the lyrics, can affect the response the people around her have from it. In most occasions when she sings it'll cause someone to go into a hypnotic like trance for up to ten minutes, rendering them unaware of what is going on around them and really thoughtless for the time being. Another response to her singing is mostly if someone is upset, angry or scared then her singing will soothe them into calmness. Her singing can also elicit or give off the emotions that she is feeling at the moment and make those around her feel the same way as she does though that takes a lot more work and is strenuous on her vocal cords. She is also able to mimic sounds and a person's voice perfectly due to her quirk

Quirk drawbacks// •when using her singing to soothe someone she takes on that emotion that the person was feeling •plucking too many feathers from her wings when trying to trigger someone's memories will cause for her wings to bleed and the feathers will take at least two days to grow back •constantly triggering someone's memories with her quirk will let her see their memories or cause for her own memories and fears to pop up in her mind •singing too much will cause sore throats for her and potentially overusing it will make her lose her voice for a period of time lasting from one hour to an entire week •her wings are rather fragile and extremely sensitive •unable to fly when her wings are wet •she can potentially lose some of her own memories if she constantly uses her quirk to help people remember theirs •she will go into her own hypnotic state if she sings too much and will be slightly sluggish and mostly nonfunctional in that period of time •in able to mimic a sound or someone's voice she's had to hear it at least two times before
