Background Information:
Titania Lemegeton. Origin unknown. Parentage unknown. A child born with the "blessings of God." In truth, it could be closer to being considered a curse. Her mind matured significantly faster than her body, and she had memories of things that could never have happened. For a baby, it was a highly distressing experience, and she cried often in hopes of relieving the pressure on her psyche. When her sense of "self" finally crystallized at the age of three, she understood her circumstances.
A certain person, a heartless and apathetic bureaucrat in a world where things like faith and imagination were the province of children to be ground away by decades of a cruel existence, was involved in a fatal accident. The realization of their fate did little to stir the soul of that person, eliciting only mild surprise. Intrigued by such sheer emptiness, a certain divine-class being made a suspicious offer - a deal with a devil, so to speak. Although that person's body was beyond the power of divine intervention to save, their consciousness could be preserved entirely instead of dissolving into the wheel of reincarnation, whatever that meant.
So it was that "Titania" was born, most likely somewhere in a certain desert nation, though none could say for sure - she was an abandoned child, left on the doorstep of a certain government-sponsored orphanage. Her upbringing was modest, not quite at the level of desperate poverty but with resources still stretched thin by the necessity of feeding and clothing numerous children. Basic education was provided with regards to local language, customs, and history, which was absorbed rapidly by a fully matured intellect in the body of a little girl. A consummate pragmatist, she adapted to her new identity with natural acceptance, though certain concepts of what her life might entail in the future gave her pause. Assuming she even survived to that point.
During routine testing within the Wind Country, it was discovered that Titania's base aptitude for magic, called chakra in this world, was unusually high. As it was likely she would be picked up by the military later in life anyway due to her ability, the career-oriented mind inhabiting Titania saw an opportunity to gain prestige and rise through the ranks in order to carve out a safe and comfortable living in the long term. By receiving training in the Sand Village and rising through the ranks, she would receive better treatment and hold higher initial position in the national military structure on joint operations and most likely be assured a comfortable position in the event of a transfer. She volunteered for service without hesitation not long after at the age of six. When asked why, she answered honestly that this was the only legitimate path available to her.
In her prior existence, the person Titania was before was neither a genius, nor a hard worker. Though that person was decently well-read, they were content to merely perform the duties given by society and took some small pride in performing with efficiency and excellence. For a full-grown adult, a mind like Titania's would be considered average, or slightly above average at best. But Titania Lemegeton was not an adult, and therefore her head start over her peers stood out.
Unfortunately, she had very low physical potential due to the limitations of her body. Even for a young girl, her development was abnormally limited, leaving her small in stature and scrawny in build relative to her peers. Between that and the fact that her former psychology was accustomed to movement with longer limbs and higher stature, it was clear she was unsuitable for training in unarmed combat or with most forms of weaponry, not that she very much wanted to be involved in personal-range battles in the first place. Or any battles for that matter. Her objective was a comfortable position away from danger or hardship. In order to engage in close-quarters combat training at all, or even wield a rifle properly, she had to rely on magical enhancements to equalize her physical abilities with those of her classmates.
In relentless pursuit of her objectives, she graduated from her two-year stint at the Academy with high honors, ranked eleventh among the top twelve in her year, all of whom were significantly older than herself. The ceremonial rifle she received then is meticulously maintained at all times - one never knows when it might be needed, and a jam or misfire at a critical moment leading to an opportunity lost would be absolutely unforgivable.
After all, when you make a deal with a devil, one never knows when or what it may come to collect.
At the age of Eight, shortly after graduation from the Academy to the rank of Genin, Titania gained the qualifications necessary to participate in the Chuunin exams and passed, becoming the youngest Chuunin in the history of the Hidden Sand. Took an undetermined number of years off on leave to pursue mundane education, realizing that her current understanding of the world was lacking. Over a year has passed so far.
Psychological Evaluation:
A shameless social networker, every word spoken is a carefully calculated truth or lie intended to aid in her advancement - she only breaks structure when dealing with superiors she views as incompetent, and even then only to get into the good graces of THEIR superiors, who will no doubt need them replaced before long.
She does recognize that something in her mind is fundamentally broken, as despite being raised with relative kindness she is absolutely selfish, utterly incapable of feeling empathy for other living things, and driven only by a ruthless compulsion to succeed at any cost. Despite her lack of empathy, she has a desperate sort of narcissism, where the way others view her matters greatly to her self esteem, and anything to tarnish her image is a heart rending blow. In order to look good to both her superiors and her underlings, she has taught herself to make gestures of kindness or to lend a sympathetic shoulder to others, but she only does so with her own ulterior motives at heart. Likewise she learned quickly to leverage her looks as a weapon against adults, turning on a childlike charm to evoke emotional responses to remind them of daughters or younger sisters.
Although she does not consider herself a coward, she puts a premium on her own well-being and has no personal sense of honorable conduct or fair play. She prefers not to take unnecessary risks, but is willing to go to extreme lengths and put herself in dangerous situations in hopes of garnering recognition for her deeds, though if she can find a way out that still lets her look good she'll take it. To her mind, numbers are all that matters, and everything is a resource that has an associated price - even people, and including herself. She tries desperately to increase her own value in the eyes of her superiors, modeling her outward persona as that of the perfect soldier, even if it is purely an affectation for her own advancement - disciplined, obedient, effective, patriotic, and dutiful. She holds similar expectations of her subordinates, doing everything she can to increase their value, because it reflects positively on her own. This lack of empathy can sometimes backfire, as she is unable to recognize how her own callous dismissals can embitter people toward her and cause them to take revenge on her.
While actively sadistic and taking satisfaction in the misery of others, she restrains herself largely out of consideration for the long-term effects it could have on her social standing. Choosing a career path that allows her to indulge on occasion is viewed merely as a secondary perk, as she views wholesale slaughter a pointless waste of resources and potential productivity from allies and prisoners alike.
Despite being most comfortable in a structured environment where she can advance just by following orders efficiently and without hesitation, Titania has no love for those who rule, largely viewing them as wasteful incompetents. Freedom without the restrictions of order leads to destructive chaos, but neither can she tolerate absolute law without freedom, as it leads only to tyranny and totalitarianism. She is the type to follow the rules to the letter, but who feels that their exact meaning is open to creative interpretations when necessary for the sake of efficiency and expedience.
She considers herself a pacifist, even though she has no hesitation applying extreme violence when initial negotiations inevitably fail, and she does so with general apathy towards her victims. While to an outside viewer this might label her as a battle maniac, in her own mind overwhelming, demoralizing force is simply the most safe and efficient method to end hostilities permanently, providing a longer-term peace than if anyone were to entertain the idea of beginning a pointless and wasteful cycle of revenge.
Physical Description:
Titania is an anomaly. She serves as a mage in the Sand Village's paramilitary mercenary forces, yet her body is small and underdeveloped even by the standard of other girls her age. She was born and raised in a desert country, yet her skin is fair and smooth - almost doll-like - never darkening or reddening even under the harsh sun reflected on the sands. Short and feather light, she stands barely over four feet in height and weighs only around sixty pounds, necessitating specially-made equipment that fits her unusually small frame.
She owns little in the way of personal effects, preferring a spartan and cost-effective lifestyle in order to fund nonstandard upgrades to her loadout. She has several pairs of standard close-fitting uniforms, usually in black or green to contrast her physical traits, but is almost never seen in casual civilian garb. As a child, there's little point to investing too much into clothing, as there's always a chance she could experience a growth spurt and outgrow everything. At least her custom-tailored uniforms are issued by the government for free.
She also has a set of cold-resistant gear that at first would seem incongruous with her home field, but is well suited to high altitude operations due to wind chill hundreds of meters above sea level. Mostly a thick and heavy green material of some variety, with white fur at the cuffs and in the linings. This set consists of a jacket, pants, boots, and gloves, with a simple long-sleeved undershirt beneath.
In stark contrast to her monstrous personality, her appearance is almost fairy-like, with grayish blonde hair in short but wild tangles and curls, just long enough to pull into back into a neat ponytail under her hat, and large eyes in an incredibly vibrant shade of blue that she can tear up at will in order to manipulate others with her cute image. A single unruly tendril, determined to stand from her hair untamed, juts up from the top of her head despite all attempts to manage it. It twitches in time with the subtle vibrations of her body as her agitation rises.
Her small mouth is generally expressionless, a trained blankness to keep her internal thoughts from showing, though she does her best to smile cutely for the benefit of her superiors or those she attempts to persuade. She has few genuine smiles of enjoyment, but that may well be for the best considering her true emotional tendencies. To see the face of a child, who should yet be innocent and untainted by the world, twisted into a vast and psychotic grin is something that many adults would find deeply spiritually disturbing.
After awakening the Onigami bloodlimit, Titania's eyes changed in color to a wine red hue, but otherwise little about her has changed physically. She has taken to wearing special colored contacts that restore her original color, partly out of vanity and partly from an understanding that red eyes are less likely to trigger a sympathetic response than blue. The glow of her active doujutsu overwhelms the change however.
