Personality: Raised on tales of Saiyan glory and adventure, Okora is as prideful and arrogant as the most infamous of her race. Young, childish and full of fire and foul-language, she is quick to anger and even quicker to use her fists - or her teeth, for that matter. Okora is also quite vain - pride in the muscles and abilities she trained hard for, a taste for nice clothes, and a slight fixation with her teeth are coupled with her conceited self-importance, though she isn't completely self-absorbed.

Despite a willingness to commit acts of violence and use any tactic available to her to win her actions also possess a slight moral code. She doesn't like uneven fights, mostly because it lacks challenge - she doesn't go so far to consider herself honourable but she will acknowledge when a fight isn't fair and doesn't have much drive to kill a weaker enemy she doesn't have to. She prefers an proper, even fight, where she can prove her superiority face to face and hand-to-hand. Senseless butchery is a distraction and a waste of time and energy for Okora, who would much rather be enthusiastically tearing apart someone who can actually last more than a few minutes against her than some village who can't even fight back.

Though prone to moody, surly periods she is most commonly outgoing and confident, quick to flash a grin and with no real regard for personal space or social norms. Despite possessing a subtle clever intelligence and the quick wits needed to survive, her temper and rashness more often than not gets her into trouble and causes her to make poor decisions - she is also both easily confused and fascinated by unfamiliar environments; these being pretty much any new planet she finds herself in, and her arrogant prejudices mean she typically will promptly insult any new species she encounters, before attempting to learn more about them. Being alone makes her irritable and melancholy at times, and she really does enjoy meeting new beings and being around others - her personality just tends to get in the way of a peaceful existence.

Appearance:

Okora

A tall, athletic woman with golden eyes, messy red hair and a maniac grin, Okora's Saiyan blood is apparent by her brown-furred tail and her short hair's consistent, unruly appearance. Though outwardly and for all intents and purposes a full blooded member of her dominant race, her non-Saiyan ancestry is still obvious to those who look: her jagged, shark-like teeth are the most obvious indicator, and she believes that her bright hair colour, golden eyes, shorter hairstyle, slightly pointed ears and unusually curvaceous figure stem from one of her Half-Saiyan mother's parents, a member of an obscure alien race. She prefers light, durable and practical but preferably fashionable clothing, with simple but elegant patterns and minimalist accessories - baggy trousers and chest wrappings are her go-to wardrobe and she will also wear cloaks (because they blow in the wind dramatically) and weighted training outfits. Where other Saiyans may keep their tails wrapped around their waist like a belt Okora prefers to let it sway freely, or otherwise wrap around an object such as her knife sheathe to keep it safe and secure.

Backstory:
Born into a seaside village on the planet Selki, far from the Alliance or Empire, Okora is the daughter of a Saiyan deserter and a Half-Saiyan woman.

The warrior who would become her grandfather was sent to her future homeworld to infiltrate and conquer it. Confused, amnesiac and violent after a rough landing on the surface as a child, Okora's grandfather ultimately failed his mission to slaughter the inhabitants and become its ruler: bringing the many islands that dotted the global ocean to the brink of war and proclaiming his intention to become the ruler of them all, he was defeated by one of the world's greatest martial artists and was eventually convinced to abandoned his path of conquest. The one who managed to convince a Saiyan warrior to settle down into a comparatively peaceful life - even one who only vaguely remembered his mission of destruction and had forgotten the violent indoctrination of his own martial culture - was none other than Selki's strongest champion and Okora's grandmother. She had evidently seen some redemption in the offworlder, and grew to love him. The two would go on to raise a dysfunctional but happy family together.

Okora's memories of her grandparents where of an old, skilled woman with a broad smile and a harsh training regime - her grandfather was a gruff but kind man, reclusive from a world that still remembered his attempts at global domination, who enjoyed training young warriors and was often treated by her grandmother for painful headaches stemming from an injury sustained in his childhood. It was her mother who grew up under these two skilled fighters and became a famed huntress of sea serpents and a legendary martial artist in her own right.

It was also her mother that continued the family tradition of beating very lost and very confused Saiyans senseless and winding up having kids with them. Fleeing debt, dishonour, and a blood feud, Okora's father escaped the Empire and tried to carve out a small conquest somewhere far from Saiyan space - instead he found himself facing down the only one of his kind for hundreds of lightyears, a woman with a jagged smile who chased him across the tempest swept, rocky islands and inland moors of Selki's continents and across the waves to eventually defeat him. After his quest to become king of the seas and his rivalry with the wild-haired Hybrid-Saiyan warrior came to a conclusion, he too became a father and married the woman who he had come to love.

Okora was then subsequently raised on stories of vastly unsuitably violent adventure and overly dramatic romance in a martial arts school, the petulant middle-child of five siblings - her family, in retrospect, doing very little to steer her and the others away from the natural tenets of Saiyan culture. Prideful, headstrong, quick to anger and even quicker to use her fists (and feet, and teeth), the youngest daughter was the most troublesome of all the children... and arguably the strongest, rivaled only by her black-haired younger brother Rhu.

Finally her mother had enough of her wrassling enraged sea creatures straight into cliff-side villages and striving to be the strongest combatant in existence by single-mindedly fighting anyone who got in her way - Okora would claim it was because she had surpassed even her grandmother and Rhu whined about how she bit off a couple of his fingers - and so she dragged her kicking and swearing to an old Saiyan spacepod to ship her off into the great unknown to make a woman of herself and maybe find someone who could train her further.

The last thing few pieces of advice she had to give her before she kicked her not unkindly into the pod with her boot and shouldered the door shut included some wisdom that has perplexed Okora ever since - "There's more to life than killing people, sweetheart. Try to make some friends?"

Launched out into space with only her wits and the old Saiyan knife her mother tossed in after her, Okora decided to give it a shot. Somewhere in between killing anyone who stood in the way of her ambition and training to become the strongest being in the universe.

Channeling their ki to a small chunk of rock, a pebble, or other small solid object, the user condenses it into a speck of glowing, superdense heated energy: it is then flicked towards their target at colossal velocities, leaving a trail like a laser beam before impacting with a burst of explosive energy.
