[NAME] Ruki Yokokawa
[MAGICAL GIRL ALIAS] Met@l D!a (pronounced as “Metal Dia”).
Some background on the name: originally Ruki had asked her manager Natsuo if she could have an alias with the word “Diamond” in it for personal reasons. Seeing as it sounded a bit “too long and not as catchy” to fit her idol image, he suggested why not “Metal Diva”, to compliment on her power and the image of a futuristic idol. After some talks, they compromised with something catchy enough “Metal Dia”. Seeing that Ruki likes to be additionally standing out, they changed a few letters to actual Ascii symbols.

[PERSONALITY]
Ruki is the energetic but also naive girl among her group of friends. Her general ways of thinking are rather simple, to the point that sometimes she might seem rather simplistic. Overall, she’s an easy person to talk to, being someone who has a wide range of interests and loves to hear about other people. She does seem rather mischievous at times, though her pranks usually only involve her parents or her brother Shun. She’s particularly competitive with Shun, in terms of who is more popular among their friends.
Ruki and Shun live by the motto “You can be anything you want, just not everything at once”. What this means is that they know how to make themselves look sorry to get out of trouble from parents or detention, or to seem innocent when they played a prank. This doesn’t mean they can change their character completely, rather it’s just based on their experiences they can tailor their words or actions to fit the situation. Thus they have a general natural instinct to act charismatic. In addition, Ruki is fairly experimentive, in the way that often there’s new things she likes to try just due to curiosity.
Ruki has several weird habits, that no one is sure where she picked up from. There are two types of smiles she has. One is the general happy and hyper one for the bubbly girl. The other is when she is honestly scared. There’s definitely differences, but at times it might give some people the impression that she’s enjoying whatever she’s supposed to be scared of. (At this point, I would prefer that only Yume knows about this. It’s not something you can pick up on easily, unless you’re ADDITIONALLY perceptive towards illogical children).
The other thing is that there are times she considers Shun like her other self. An example would be, in the case where someone else insults or threats her brother, Ruki would take it very personally.
[BIOGRAPHY]
Ruki and Shun grew up together at the heart of the city of New Kyoto. They spend a lot of time together, either doing pranks, or playing games or just being at each other’s throats (much to their parents’ irritation). However, both had their share of small group of friends. They went to an average primary school together and it wasn’t until the last year of school that was when symptoms started showing of Ruki’s powers.
It started with finding herself bending the spoon or fork during lunch time. It started as spontaneous, and Ruki was first rather just excited that she could spoon-bend while Shun couldn’t. That day, Shun was the less dense one and was the first to come to thought that it wasn’t Ruki being psychic (they only exist in fiction anyway).
Over the next few days, the Yokokawa house had many twisted tongs, broken keys and snapped spoons. It wasn’t because Ruki wasn’t controlling her powers, it was partially to rub it into Shun’s face that girls were superior.
After finally promising to not use that in the house for pranking reasons, Ruki was given approval by both parents to join the academy in New Kyoto for witches. From there she met three other girls in her class, and was given the nickname “Diamond”.
Other than being really energetic and having rather weird but quick reflexes, Ruki seemed to be an average witch in her first year. Her forte when using magic was that she had a strong imagination, and there were moments when she can use it in creative ways. It wasn’t until four months ago when she had been recruited in the next inspection event. No doubt, Ruki would have agreed. It was something a lot of girls her age was looking forward to. Seeing that this witch had a cheerful persona and a magic fighting style that was somewhat dynamic, they decided that this could be worth investing into. From the recommendations by her manager, Ruki still had skills she needed to improve before she should make a formal appearance to DDC. She was then given additional lessons after school, in hopes that she could get better at using her primary power quicker.
[PRIMARY POWER]
Ruki can accelerate metal substances, and adjust their temperature. This includes alloys and content with high metallic molecules. (Water solutions with metallic ions don't count). She can cause the metal substances to move fluidly around her, and also allow them to change into different shapes. She needs to be able to visualize the shape clearly in her mind for the metal substance to stabilize. (This becomes easier over time with the same category item).
At the moment, Ruki can only visualize well two weapons: a pair of twin swords or a series of darts. The darts are sharp but very small, and speed is compromised for accuracy. She hasn’t learnt to use other weapons yet though she does try to practice manipulating metal into different shapes. Ruki primary focuses on using twin swords with a mid-range to close-range attacking style, and maximises her offense to defend herself. When she uses darts, they don’t usually last more than one minute.
There are times when Ruki is able to use it creatively, like quickly causing metal form into strips and bind over a Grimm’s limb. Some of these are thought up by Shun, and some by Ruki herself in the heated moment of battle.
[SECONDARY POWER]
Ruki can conjure up a boundary boxes by her imagination. These boundary boxes seal the inside from the outside completely, including the air. So if a person was inside the box for too long, they would die from lack of oxygen. At the moment, Ruki can only conjure up to four boxes. The largest size she’s able to conjure up is up to the size of a swimming pool. For people inside or outside the box, they can’t see the boundary, but they will feel as though they hit an imaginary, transparent wall.
Due to Ruki’s weak magic defense, they can shatter with a reasonable strengthened magical attack. However, Ruki can re-conjure one up immediately.
[TERTIARY SKILL]
Ruki is good at parkour. She's been taking lessons together with one of her friends, and the competitive spirit between these two keeps her continue to try and improve. She sometimes practice by also finding shortcuts from places.
At this moment she can scale up and from buildings and jump at a high altitude without much trouble. Fighting on a high, steep slope is a different issue at the moment.
[HYPER POWER]
Using her body as a lightning rod and conductor, Ruki is able to conjure up a series of lighting strikes. At the moment the record is set to 7 meters radius. Other than the majority of her energy been expended, Ruki should not take damage from the electricity from the lightning strikes. (These would have a high current aimed to numb or burn the enemies and substances around her).
[CLUTCH POWER]
This power can feed off:
1. Ruki’s basic fear of her or her brother dying
2. The basic desire to want to destroy something, often the target
It’s only when either of these two feelings are dominant (or her positive-thoughts are diminished) she can activate this ability. Her shadow becomes materialised material, and Ruki can use it in a similar manner to how she manipulates metal. However, the speed is much faster and the movement is more fluid. She is able to make the materialised shadows de-materialise. On default, the shape of the shadows takes shape of her brother’s figure.
