Valentine

“AHAHAHA! Oh, that HURT! Do it again! C’mon, don’t be shy!”
“You wanna know who taught me how to fight? Hehehe! EVERY idiot who thought they could beat me!”
"I'd burn the world for him. But honestly? We'd probably do it together."

ℕ𝕒𝕞𝕖: Vespera Valentine

Born simply Vespera. She had no established family surname. Valentine is the surname she and Cain created together upon marrying.

ℙ𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪: Vespera Valentine is a spectacularly chaotic, dangerously intelligent, and thoroughly unpredictable woman whose behavior often resembles that of an overexcited child given access to an entire military arsenal. Loud, hyperactive, mischievous, and almost perpetually grinning, she approaches combat with an enthusiasm that most would consider deeply concerning. She laughs when she's injured. She laughs when opponents threaten her. She laughs when something explodes unexpectedly. And she laughs hardest when someone finally proves capable of giving her a proper challenge. Vespera possesses an almost obsessive fascination with strength, danger, and the limitations of supernatural abilities. She enjoys provoking opponents, testing their reactions, and deliberately placing herself in situations that would terrify most people. However, her behavior should never be mistaken for stupidity. Beneath her erratic mannerisms lies an exceptionally perceptive and analytical mind. Vespera possesses extraordinary tactical intelligence, mechanical intuition, and an instinctive understanding of physical movement. She notices subtle shifts in posture, breathing, balance, and timing. She can analyze unfamiliar fighting styles rapidly, identify weaknesses, and improvise solutions under pressure. Her apparent recklessness frequently conceals deliberate experimentation. At other times, she simply does something catastrophically stupid because she thinks it will be funny. Vespera is fully capable of recognizing the difference. She does not always care.
​

Behavioral States — The Laughing Switch​

PLAYTIME

Her ordinary disposition. Vespera is loud, theatrical, excitable, and openly playful. She taunts opponents, performs unnecessary acrobatics, and frequently switches weapons for entertainment.

"AHAHA! Oooooh! That was a GOOD one!"

PREDATOR

Triggered when Vespera encounters an opponent who genuinely challenges her. Her movements become more efficient, her observations more deliberate, and her tactical intelligence increasingly apparent. She remains playful but begins studying her opponent with unsettling intensity.

"Ohhhh. You're actually GOOD."

SILENCE

The rarest and most unsettling of her behavioral states. When Vespera becomes genuinely furious or emotionally distressed, her laughter may disappear entirely. She becomes quiet, focused, and frighteningly deliberate.

"I'm not laughing anymore."

These states are psychological behaviors rather than separate supernatural transformations.
​

Additional Personality Traits​

Independent: Vespera despises coercion, institutional authority, and attempts to control her.
Competitive: She seeks powerful opponents and becomes irritated when encounters end too quickly.
Sadistically Playful: She enjoys intimidating, teasing, and tormenting dangerous opponents, often treating violence as entertainment.
Emotionally Guarded: She frequently disguises uncomfortable feelings beneath laughter or ridiculous jokes.
Mechanically Gifted: She possesses extraordinary talent for designing, repairing, and modifying weapons.
Affectionate: Toward those she genuinely loves, particularly Cain, she can be physically clingy, teasing, playful, and surprisingly tender.
Protective: She becomes disproportionately hostile toward individuals who threaten people she considers precious.
Sentimental: Despite her chaotic behavior, she treasures small reminders of genuine kindness.

Unusually Gentle Toward Frightened Children: Vespera recognizes the particular fear of a child who feels helpless. She is not especially skilled at comforting others, but she may quietly offer candy, remain nearby, or intervene when someone vulnerable is threatened.

Self-Aware: Vespera understands that her behavior is often irrational, dangerous, and excessive.

She simply enjoys being herself. Her greatest fear is not physical pain. It is helplessness. And after nearly dying during her second Core assimilation, she discovered another fear: Never seeing her husband again.

ℝ𝕖𝕡𝕦𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟: Vespera is an infamous underground fighter, independent Kryptid hunter, and anomalous dual Core Hybrid whose unpredictable behavior has earned her a reputation as an exceptionally dangerous supernatural combatant. Her skills were developed through street fighting, underground competitions, dangerous encounters, independent experimentation, and years of practical experience. Stories about Psychosis circulate throughout underground fighting circles. Some describe a woman who laughs when she's shot. Others claim she carries a rocket launcher as casually as a handbag. Some insist she survived consuming two active Kryptid Cores. The last claim is true. Her relationship with Cain Valentine, known as Psychotic, has further contributed to her notoriety. Together, they are regarded as an unpredictable and potentially catastrophic pairing.

Cain Valentine — Psychotic​

Relationship: Married.
Cain and Vespera are two extraordinarily dangerous individuals who found something resembling peace in one another. Their relationship began while Cain was still human. Even before his transformation, Cain was an exceptionally formidable individual with a violent disposition and considerable combat ability. Vespera was immediately fascinated by his strength and refusal to be intimidated by her behavior. Their relationship developed through mutual attraction, affection, dangerous encounters, and an understanding of one another's darker impulses. Vespera is generally the more openly dominant and provocative partner. She enjoys teasing Cain, challenging him, climbing into his lap without warning, and affectionately referring to him as her "good boy." However, Cain is exceptionally strong and independent in his own right. Their relationship is not based upon his weakness or submission. It is based upon mutual trust, attraction, and their willingness to accept one another without demanding that either become someone else.
​

The Valentine Name​

Neither Vespera nor Cain originally possessed the surname Valentine. They invented it together when they married. For Vespera, who had grown up without a meaningful family identity, choosing a name with someone she loved held considerable significance. She rarely discusses that sentiment openly.
​

The Scratch Incident​

During a dangerous encounter, Cain sustained a minor scratch. The injury was insignificant and did not diminish his considerable strength. Nevertheless, Vespera reacted with disproportionate intensity. Seeing someone she loved injured awakened a deeply buried hatred of helplessness. She became obsessed with increasing her power and ultimately consumed a second active Kryptid Core. Although she frequently jokes about the incident, the underlying emotional response was genuine.
​

The Promise​

Vespera's second Core assimilation nearly killed her. For the first time, she became frightened not by pain or the possibility of losing a fight, but by the thought of never seeing Cain again. She survived. Both Cores assimilated successfully. And she emerged stronger than ever. However, the experience fundamentally changed her relationship with risk. Vespera still desires greater power. She still seeks formidable opponents. But she has voluntarily decided not to consume a third Kryptid Core. Because she wants to come home to him. Her personal rule is simple: Always come home.

ℂ𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕗𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟: Human–Kryptid Hybrid | Kaijn-derived Core Assimilation. Vespera was born a natural Superhuman and later became a Hybrid through voluntary Core consumption.

𝕃𝕚𝕗𝕖 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕦𝕤: Alive
𝕎𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕦𝕤: Roaming
ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕦𝕤: Devoured | Two fully assimilated Cores.

ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕋𝕪𝕡𝕖: Crimson Fracture | Stable Dual-Core Ascendancy.
​

First Core — Crimson Fracture​

The first Core consumed by Vespera was a dark crystalline structure threaded with luminous crimson fractures. Following consumption, it successfully integrated into her natural Superhuman physiology. The transformation enhanced her existing kinetic manipulation and granted her significantly improved physical strength, durability, agility, and regenerative capabilities. This marked her transformation into a Human–Kryptid Hybrid.
​

Second Core — Dual-Core Ascendancy​

Vespera later consumed a second active Kryptid Core. The assimilation process was substantially more dangerous than the first. Her body initially struggled to integrate the additional supernatural material. The process caused catastrophic physiological stress and nearly resulted in her death. However, Vespera ultimately survived. Her body successfully integrated the second Core alongside the first. Both Cores are now completely stable. There is no ongoing Core interference, chronic instability, or defective assimilation. The second Core permanently enhanced her physical capabilities and expanded the potential of Crimson Recoil.
​

Resulting Enhancements​

• Significantly greater kinetic storage capacity.​
• Increased kinetic release potential.​
• Stronger physical attacks.​
• Enhanced natural strength.​
• Improved agility and movement performance.​
• Greater physical resilience.​
• More effective Hybrid regeneration.​
• Increased compatibility with high output kinetic weapon techniques.​

SUBJECT: VESPERA VALENTINE

CODENAME: PSYCHOSIS

CLASSIFICATION: ANOMALOUS DUAL CORE HYBRID

STATUS: ACTIVE / UNCONTAINED

THREAT ASSESSMENT: EXTREME

REPORT:

Subject possesses extraordinary physical capability, advanced kinetic manipulation, exceptional tactical intelligence, and an unpredictable behavioral profile. Despite lacking formal institutional training, Valentine demonstrates proficiency comparable to highly experienced supernatural combatants. Subject has successfully assimilated two active Kryptid Cores. Both appear fully integrated and biologically stable. No persistent Core rejection symptoms have been observed. The subject's natural kinetic manipulation allows her to absorb a portion of incoming physical force, store the resulting energy, and redirect it through enhanced attacks. Her ability to amplify stored kinetic energy through customized firearms and heavy weapons presents a significant threat to conventional engagement teams. Subject is also known to possess extraordinary mechanical intelligence and has reportedly designed or modified several of her own weapons. Although frequently observed laughing, taunting opponents, and behaving erratically, Valentine demonstrates sophisticated tactical awareness. Her apparent recklessness should not be mistaken for impaired judgment.

RECOMMENDED RESPONSE:
​

• Avoid unnecessary direct engagement.​
• Do not rely exclusively on kinetic force attacks.​
• Limit opportunities for energy accumulation.​
• Avoid provoking the subject through threats or attempts at coercion.​
• Maintain awareness of concealed firearms and heavy weapons.​
• Monitor activity surrounding high category Kryptids.​
• Exercise extreme caution when Cain Valentine is present.​

SPECIAL NOTE:

Subject appears to have voluntarily ceased further Core consumption following a near fatal second assimilation. This decision should not be interpreted as diminished combat capability.

FINAL ASSESSMENT:

Subject remains an exceptionally dangerous independent Hybrid whose behavior cannot be reliably predicted or controlled.

ℙ𝕣𝕚𝕞𝕒𝕣𝕪 𝔸𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪: Crimson Recoil — Kinetic Dominion.

𝔸𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 𝔻𝕖𝕤𝕔𝕣𝕚𝕡𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟: Crimson Recoil is Vespera's innate Superhuman ability, allowing her to absorb, store, manipulate, amplify, and release kinetic energy. When struck by physical attacks, she can absorb a portion of the incoming kinetic force into an internal reservoir. Stored energy can subsequently be released through physical strikes, movement, firearms, or compatible melee weapons. Her dual-Core Hybrid physiology significantly increases the amount of energy she can safely store and the force she can generate through controlled release. Vespera can also combine stored kinetic energy with her own physical output, allowing attacks to exceed the strength of the original impact. This amplification requires additional energy and physiological effort.
​

Core Functions​

Kinetic Absorption: Absorbs portions of incoming physical force.
Kinetic Storage: Retains absorbed energy within a finite internal reservoir.
Kinetic Amplification: Combines stored energy with physical output to increase attack strength.
Kinetic Release: Discharges energy through strikes, movement, and weapons.
Kinetic Redistribution: Redirects stored energy between compatible offensive and mobility applications.
​

Advanced Techniques​

1. Ruin Rebound: A concentrated counterattack that releases absorbed kinetic energy through a punch, kick, or other physical strike.
2. Bad Habit: Vespera deliberately invites an opponent to strike her, absorbs part of the incoming force, and retaliates with an amplified counterattack.
3. Ricochet Rampage: Uses controlled kinetic discharges to accelerate movement, perform rapid dashes, and change direction during combat.
4. Rupture Drive: Channels stored kinetic energy into a devastating close-range strike capable of producing localized shockwaves.
5. Recoil Roulette: Redistributes kinetic energy between Riot and Ruckus, creating unpredictable differences in projectile impact.
6. Double Trouble: Simultaneously enhances attacks from both pistols, combining concentrated shots with rapid fire pressure.
7. Crimson Jackpot: Channels a substantial amount of stored kinetic energy into a single high impact firearm discharge.
8. Bullet Tantrum: Combines enhanced gunfire, acrobatic movement, and close-range strikes into an aggressive sequence.
9. Guillotine Waltz: Channels kinetic energy into her oversized cleaver sword, increasing the destructive force of its swings.
10. Little Menace: Uses concentrated kinetic bursts through her combat knife during close-range encounters.
11. Catastrophe Cannon: Channels a large kinetic charge into a compatible projectile fired from Tantrum, producing an amplified impact and shockwave.
12. Overkill: A rapid sequence of attacks that distributes stored energy between gunfire, melee strikes, movement bursts, and heavy weapons.
13. Last Laugh: An emergency technique that releases a substantial portion of her remaining kinetic reserves through one concentrated counterattack.

​

Kinetic Arsenal​

An advanced application of Crimson Recoil allowing Vespera to channel stored kinetic energy into compatible weapons she is physically holding. The technique does not grant supernatural weapon summoning or infinite ammunition.
​

Riot & Ruckus — Twin Pistols​

Vespera's signature customized firearms.
Riot: Optimized for powerful, concentrated kinetic shots.
Ruckus: Optimized for rapid, disruptive fire.
Both are engineered to withstand repeated kinetic enhancement.
​

Tantrum — Oversized Rocket Launcher​

An enormous custom heavy weapon designed around Vespera's extraordinary physical strength. She frequently carries Tantrum over one shoulder and operates it with remarkable ease. Crimson Recoil allows her to manage its recoil and enhance the impact of compatible projectiles. Despite her strength, the launcher remains bulky and requires ammunition.
​

Bad Manners — Heavy Cleaver Sword​

A massive cleaver-style weapon designed to withstand powerful kinetic amplification. Vespera's extraordinary strength allows her to wield it with surprising agility.
​

Sweetheart — Combat Knife​

A compact close-range weapon used for rapid strikes and concentrated kinetic bursts. Vespera considers its name particularly adorable.
​

Weapon Engineering​

Vespera possesses extraordinary mechanical intuition and has personally designed or modified much of her arsenal. She understands the relationship between weapon durability, recoil, impact, and kinetic energy transfer.,Her engineering abilities are highly specialized rather than evidence of universal scientific expertise.​

Psychosis: Redline​

Classification: High-Output Kinetic Combat State. Redline occurs when Vespera deliberately pushes Crimson Recoil and her Hybrid physiology toward their operational limits. Her kinetic output increases dramatically. Crimson energy becomes visibly concentrated around her body. Her movements grow more explosive, and her attacks become increasingly destructive.

Enhancements:
​

• Increased kinetic release capacity.​
• More powerful physical attacks.​
• Greater movement acceleration.​
• Faster transitions between combat techniques.​
• Improved high-output weapon performance.​

Limitations:
​

• Rapid energy expenditure.​
• Severe muscular and physiological strain.​
• Potential injuries from excessive output.​
• Significant exhaustion following prolonged use.​

Redline is not caused by defective Core assimilation. Both of Vespera's Cores remain stable. Its limitations result from the physical consequences of pushing her otherwise stable abilities beyond sustainable output.

ℙ𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣 ℂ𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕗𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟: SS
ℙ𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔸𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 #𝟙: Dual-Core Regeneration

Vespera possesses advanced regenerative capabilities resulting from her successful Hybridization. Minor injuries heal rapidly. Severe injuries require additional time and biological resources. Regeneration does not guarantee survival from catastrophic trauma.

ℙ𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔸𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 #𝟚: Predatory Perception
Vespera possesses exceptional combat awareness and enhanced sensory processing. She can recognize subtle changes in movement, breathing, balance, and attack timing. This improves her reactions and tactical analysis but does not grant precognition.

ℙ𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔸𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 #𝟛: Reinforced Hybrid Physiology
Her stable dual-Core physiology grants extraordinary strength, speed, agility, durability, and endurance. These enhancements function independently of stored kinetic energy. Even when Crimson Recoil is depleted, Vespera remains physically formidable.

𝔽𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕊𝕥𝕪𝕝𝕖: Unorthodox Adaptive Combat | Kinetic Weapon Specialist | Improvised Close-Quarters Fighting
Vespera combines self-taught street fighting, extraordinary acrobatics, customized weaponry, kinetic manipulation, and rapid tactical adaptation. Her movements are unpredictable, often incorporating sudden changes in direction, unconventional attack angles, and seemingly unnecessary acrobatics. She frequently switches between firearms, melee weapons, and unarmed combat. Her chaotic behavior conceals an exceptionally analytical approach to fighting. Vespera often studies opponents while appearing distracted or amused. She recognizes patterns, identifies weaknesses, and adapts her techniques accordingly. Her combat behavior can be divided into three recognizable psychological states: Playtime, Predator, and Silence. She is particularly dangerous when an opponent mistakes her enthusiasm for incompetence.

I. The Girl Without a Surname​

Before the world knew her as Psychosis, she was simply Vespera. A little girl raised in poverty, surrounded by neglect, uncertainty, and violence. Her father was an alcoholic whose unpredictable temper shaped much of her early childhood. Vespera learned to recognize his moods through the sound of his footsteps. She learned when to hide. When to remain silent. When to apologize. And when to make herself as small as possible. She was not born cruel. She was not born laughing at pain. She was a frightened child who desperately wanted someone to be kind to her. There was one small source of comfort. An elderly neighbor occasionally offered her strawberry candies. The woman never demanded explanations for Vespera's injuries or asked questions she was too frightened to answer. Sometimes she simply sat beside her. Sometimes she offered a sweet. Those quiet moments became some of Vespera's most treasured childhood memories. Years later, she would forget many details of her upbringing. But she would never forget the taste of strawberry candy.
​

II. The First Recoil​

Vespera's natural Superhuman ability awakened when she was approximately nine years old. During a violent confrontation, her father struck her repeatedly. Without understanding what was happening, Vespera's body began absorbing portions of the kinetic force. The energy accumulated. The pressure became unbearable. And when her father approached her again, she instinctively raised her hands and screamed for him to stop. Crimson Recoil awakened. The accumulated energy erupted outward in an uncontrolled discharge. The surrounding room was devastated. Her father was killed. For a long time, she remained among the wreckage, unable to comprehend what she had done. She cried. She tried to wake him. She waited for him to move. But he never did. Eventually, she realized that he would never hurt her again. And in the middle of her tears, a small, involuntary laugh escaped. It frightened her. She did not understand why she was laughing. Only that, for the first time in her life, the house was silent.​

III. The Years Nobody Wanted​

Following her father's death, Vespera passed through unstable living arrangements and temporary guardianships. Her mother remained absent. She struggled to trust adults and frequently ran away. The supernatural circumstances surrounding her father's death remained poorly understood. No institution successfully identified or trained her. Eventually, Vespera stopped expecting anyone to rescue her. She learned to survive through improvisation, theft, street fighting, and whatever opportunities she could find. At first, she fought because she needed to protect herself. Then she discovered something extraordinary. Every time someone struck her, she could potentially strike back harder. Every opponent became an opportunity to learn. Every injury taught her something about her limits. Over time, fear gradually gave way to exhilaration. She began seeking stronger opponents. She experimented with absorbing and redirecting kinetic force. She developed extraordinary physical agility and combat instincts. And she discovered that fighting could be something she chose rather than something forced upon her.
​

IV. The Underground Menace​

By her late teens, Vespera had become a recognizable presence in underground fighting circles. She was infamous for her laughter, resilience, and unpredictable combat style. She frequently challenged opponents larger and stronger than herself. Sometimes she won. Sometimes she lost. But she always learned. Her reputation grew alongside her abilities. She began studying firearms, mechanical engineering, and weapon design. Her extraordinary understanding of kinetic force allowed her to develop specialized equipment that could withstand increasingly powerful energy transfers. Her twin pistols became her signature weapons. Heavy blades followed. And eventually, she constructed an oversized rocket launcher that she found endlessly entertaining. She never wanted anyone else deciding how she should use her abilities. Her philosophy was simple: If she wanted to learn something, she would learn it herself. If she wanted to become stronger, she would find a way. And if someone told her she couldn't? She would probably laugh.​

V. The First Core​

Vespera's fascination with Kryptids developed from her obsession with powerful opponents. The more she learned about them, the more interested she became in their supernatural biology. Eventually, she discovered information concerning active Kryptid Cores and the possibility of Hybridization. Most people would have considered the risks unacceptable. Vespera considered them fascinating. She pursued a suitable Core through dangerous encounters, black-market information, and independent investigation. Then she willingly consumed it. The transformation was agonizing. Her body struggled to assimilate the foreign supernatural material. For a time, survival was uncertain. But she succeeded. Her natural Crimson Recoil became significantly more powerful. Her body developed enhanced strength, resilience, and regeneration. She emerged as a Human–Kryptid Hybrid. And rather than being frightened by what she had become, Vespera was delighted. She had discovered that her limits were not as permanent as she once believed.
​

VI. Cain Valentine​

Vespera met Cain while he was still human. He was already dangerous. Already violent. Already capable of extraordinary feats without the influence of a Kryptid Core. Their attraction developed from mutual fascination and an unusual understanding of one another. Cain did not attempt to tame Vespera. Vespera did not expect Cain to become someone harmless. They accepted one another as they were. Their relationship was passionate, chaotic, affectionate, and frequently alarming to outsiders. Eventually, they married. Neither possessed the surname Valentine before their wedding. They chose it together. A name that belonged to both of them. For Vespera, who had spent much of her life without a meaningful family identity, the decision carried more significance than she would usually admit.
​

VII. The Scratch​

During an encounter with a powerful Kryptid, Cain sustained a minor scratch. The injury was almost meaningless. He remained exceptionally powerful and fully capable of defending himself. But Vespera noticed. And something about the sight disturbed her. She remembered what it felt like to be helpless. To watch violence happen and feel unable to stop it. She hated that feeling. She hated it even more when it involved someone she loved. Rather than acknowledge the fear beneath her reaction, she became obsessed with increasing her strength. She sought another active Kryptid Core. And despite understanding the risks, she consumed it.
​

VIII. The Second Core​

The second assimilation was unlike the first. Vespera's body struggled to accommodate the additional supernatural material. Her existing Core reacted violently. Her regeneration could barely compensate for the damage. For the first time, her extraordinary physical strength offered no solution. She could not fight her way out. Could not outmaneuver the pain. Could not simply laugh away the possibility of dying. And as her consciousness began to fade, one thought overwhelmed everything else. Cain. She imagined never hearing his voice again. Never teasing him. Never curling up beside him. Never returning home. And for the first time, Vespera was genuinely frightened of death. She feared what it would take away. She wanted to live. She wanted to see her husband again. And somehow, she survived. Her body successfully assimilated the second Core. Both Cores stabilized completely. Her physical capabilities increased dramatically. Her kinetic manipulation became significantly more powerful. And she emerged stronger than she had ever been. But the experience changed something. Vespera still desired power. She still wondered what consuming another Core might accomplish. Yet she had discovered something she valued more than the possibility of becoming stronger. Cain. And so she made a decision. No third Core. Because she wanted to come home.
​

IX. The Untamed Calamity​

Today, Vespera Valentine travels without allegiance to any institution. She hunts powerful Kryptids. Collects unusual weapons. Studies supernatural abilities. Challenges dangerous opponents. And continues developing her extraordinary mastery of Crimson Recoil. She remains one of the rare individuals known to have survived two complete Kryptid Core assimilations. Both are stable. Her power continues to develop through experience, training, and experimentation rather than further consumption. Noktis considers her an exceptionally dangerous anomalous Hybrid. Mystvale has no claim over her. And Vespera has no interest in changing either fact. She remains loud, playful, violent, affectionate, brilliant, and profoundly unpredictable. A woman who carries strawberry candies in one pocket and ammunition in another. A woman who laughs when monsters threaten her. A woman who once begged someone to stop hurting her. And who now looks at the strongest creatures in the world with a delighted grin.

"AHAHAHAHA! C'MON! HIT ME HARDER!"

But no matter how dangerous the fight becomes, one thought remains somewhere beneath her laughter. She intends to return home.
