Description
A lovely full-figured young woman, Switch has striking red hair and glittering green eyes. Her hair comes down to her shoulders, cut evenly with large bangs hanging down over her forehead. Locks of longer black-streaked hair go just past the length of her red hair. Her soft almond complexion compliments both her eyes and hair well. A pair of black-furred cat ears set behind a large black berette, as well as a matching tail, are the only initial hints of her being half-demon. If she can, she uses her looks and body to both distract her opponent and gain the support of the crowd. She believes heartily in fanservice.
While one side of her personality is all sunshine and smiles, the other side can be quite a bitch. And when she's in that mood, she lashes out with all the ferocity of a pissed-off cat. The fur on her ears and tail raise as well as her hair, and she bares a pair of razor-like fangs.
Being a descendant of the Four Constellations, Switch is also able to wield a good bit of magic. That mostly comes about in small healing spells, some attacks, etc.
She's absolutely in love with Bryan, and is violently jealous of any female he might express an interest in, for the main reason that he really doesn't express and romantic interest in her. She's determined to become his wife.
Dress:
Switch loves to dress up, and never comes to the ring in the same outfit. She knows how to give the audience a good
show, and usually wears tight or revealing clothing for a good reception. When she gets into the ring, though, she goes
through one of four very magical-girl-esque transformations, into either her Formal, Cleric, Warlock, or... Hentai Kamen
Shoujo attire.
Formal
> A red Chinese-print dress, ala Devil Hunter Yohko (minus the yin-yang), extending to the middle of the knee. A long slit up
the sides of the dress to the hips allow for ease of movement, not to mention show a lot of leg. She carries a folding-fan
along with this, for show and possibly to slap someone across the face with.
Cleric
> Most heavy duty-ish of the three. A tight-fitting black halter covered by a loose-fitting gi's top with the sleeves cut
off, and taken up to show her mid-drift. Jacket sleeves of the same material extend down her arms into fingerless gloves,
that would be covered by light-weight armored gauntlets. A belt connected to two long black stockings (a reinforced
garter-belt, basically), and a black pair of bikini briefs. On top of that would be the additional armor. Two circular pieces
on her shoulders are stamped with kanji of the Four Constellations. Similar pieces of armor are on her knees and elbows.
Around her waist is also larger belt with two large dress-flaps on the sides cover her legs, and a pendulum-shaped flap hangs
down in the back. Switch also wears a pair of sneaker-like boots made of the same material of her armor. Along with all this
is an ankh-shaped necklace, and a kanji-pendant hanging down from a knot in the front of her gi top with an intricate
flower-shaped knot.
Warlock
> Another form-fitting black top, with several folded collars on which dragon patterns are stamped. A small jacket with large
white sleeves that puff outward cover that, fastened by two green gems that resemble cats' eyes. The sleeves end at the
elbow, tied to a pair of gauntlets. Switch has a bare mid-drift, covered only by another kanji pendant hanging from a knot on
her top. Even tighter black pants, fastened in front by several criscrossing ties, and a pair of armored sneaker-like shoes.
Hentai Kamen Shoujo (or HKS)
> Placing a purple mask (but they're more like sunglasses) onto her face, Switch goes into a transformation filled with
bright purple light, transforming into a warped female version of Tuxedo Kamen. Tux jacket and shirt without any sleeves, yet
she still wears sleeve cuffs on her wrists, and the cape. A pair of lacy panties that aren't really that hidden by the
tailcoat, and white stockings with a black shiny pair of high heels. In this outfit she has a whip (mainly to complete the
ensemble), and her personality is... well... perverted. o_o() She occasionally does that Nahga laugh, too.
History
Switch was born of an unlikely romance between a cat demoness and a young noble of Fayon, the village of the Descendants of the Four Constellations, on the eastern coast of the realm of Midgard. The young noble, Yuu, was the brother of Lord Irine, and a member of Fayon's ruling family. He was seduced one night by a siren's call into the forests beyond Fayon's terraced cityscape, and encountered a young red-haired woman. Through the night they became... close, and just before dawn broke, shared a kiss. The next instant, the man awoke in bed back in his home.
The next evening Yuu went back to the forest not knowing if the previous evening had been a dream or not, seeking the woman. At the very spot he first met her, he found a small bundle of clothes with a squirming child inside. Somehow... he knew it was his. Upon picking it up, Yuu found it was a girl possessing the woman's red hair and his own green eyes. But she also had a cat's ears and tail. She was part demon.
His first instinct was to destroy the child, but Yuu was captivated the first time he looked into his child's eyes. He took her home and raised her as if she wasn't different from any other child. Katsumi, as she was named, grew up alongside Sara and Iris Irine (her cousins), all three showing tremendous magical potential. The Irines hid the fact that Katsumi was part-demon, but the village elders still somehow found out, and were prepared to call for her execution.
All activity in the secluded patron village halted when a being fell from the skies and crashed into the center of the Temple. A winged silver-haired young man stumbled from the wreckage, then collapsed once more. Immediately taken to the most highly regarded shaman, it was declared that the fallen stranger was a god. Fear quickly spread among the people, fear the gods were angry with them, for one had come and destroyed their most sacred temple.
Once recovered, he gave his name, Aquiel, and set about helping to rebuild the temple he had crashed into. Given quarter in the Irine palace, he and Katsumi met one day, Katsumi almost immediately falling in love with him. After a week, Aquiel disappeared, assumed to have ascended back to Asgard.
With the instance of the fallen god behind them the villagers quickly turned on the Irines, Katsumi in particular, blaming the half-demon for incurring the anger of the gods. Taken from her home, Katsumi was bound and placed in the village square to be executed by archers. Knocking sacred arrows blessed by the village elders, the archers drew back on their bows, and let fly the arrows.
Not a single one hit.
Aquiel stood before the girl, frowning, every arrow hanging in the air before him. He turned his back on them and unbound Katsumi. Picking her up, he turned back to the watching crowd with one last angry look, flaring his wings, and disappeared in a flash of light and cloud of feathers. The arrows then flew harmlessly through empty air.
Katsumi was taken by Aquiel to a different world, where he revealed his actual name to be Bryan Amethyst. He explained himself to be an individual of "higher capabilities." He left Katsumi with a friend of his on the new world, to watch and raise her in a place that she wouldn't be feared or discriminated against.
She chose the name Switch Akaisuko for herself, intent on becoming a popular idol singer. That never happened, but she was always eager to tell Bryan during his periodic visits everything she had done since the last time he checked in. Eventually she grew into the beautiful young woman she is today, and gained the means to follow Bryan in his dimension-hopping. She took up the position of his manager without his agreeing and has followed him around since, heading up his various shops in different worlds, and just recently appointing herself his UCTF manager.
After his rather luckluster first stab at a UCTF career, Switch decided to join alongside him to further his career and to keep an eye on him (she resolved to do this after an incident during Bryan's match against Miko Selenes).
