Sailor Ursa Minor

Description

Well, I finished her two days before the deadline...but I'm still not happy with her. She has been one of the hardest OCs I've ever done in terms of her appearance. I haven't had any issues with her personality, but I've been through about 4 visual designs and still just aren't satisfied. ]:<

Updates - October 20, 2015
Ursa Minor is going through a minor redesign. Her overall look, personality, history and fuku are all remaining pretty much the same, but her tattoos and maybe her facial structure are going to be tweaked a tiny, tiny bit. I am also in the process of doing a full tattoo map for everyone's reference (including my own, lol), even though most of the tattoos are on parts of the body you rarely see.

Civilian Name: Quamaniq Kinguyakki (Inuit, meaning: Beam of Light, and Northern Lights) Most people just call her Niq

Lives: Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada

Race: Inuit/Inuktitut

Age: 32 (changed from 23 to 32)

Height: 5'5" (changed)

Weight: 175 lbs (changed)

Body Shape: Lean-muscled and pear shaped with very large/wide hips and thighs, and very small breasts

Clothing: Niq wears very modest and over-sized clothing, mostly long dresses and skirts, layers, with traditional fur boots, large leather bags, and the occasional piece of Native Canadian jewellery. This is due a lot to the sub-Arctic weather, but also because she's a body modest type person. She also doesn't need to wear glasses, but does anyway. It's more for adding another barrier/shield between her and others.

Occupation: Librarian/Archivist

Gender Identity: Cisgender female

Sexual Orientation: Greysexual/Greyromantic (changed)

Family: Grandmother, Grandfather (previous Sailor Ursa Minor, the brooch and the spirit of Ursa Minor herself, is passed down the family line to the oldest child of each new generation, male or female), Mother, Father, 3 brothers (1 with a wife and baby girl), an aunt and twin cousins (fraternal, boy and girl). Housing is sparse in Iqaluit, so it's fairly common to have many generations living together. (may change in the future)

Personality: Niq is very introverted and prefers to keep her own company, but she's not anti-social. She is very observant and likes to people-watch. She loves her books and is constantly reading and researching anything that piques her interest (Psychology and serial killers, science fiction and fantasy, quantum physics, oceanography, women's history and human sexuality, etc) Niq rarely ever talks, and many people assume she's mute and can't. Her Grandfather calls her an old soul and she is considered by some in the community to be an Elder/Medicine Woman, so she is very respected when she does decide to speak. In her Senshi form she is elegant and regal. In civilian life Niq can be quite clumsy. This is a bit embarrassing to her, so she tries to never move too quickly. Not saying she can't, she's like a real bear, they don't look like they'd be fast, but boy, they're faster than you are, and you don't ever want to find that out the hard way! She does possess a fantastic sense of direction and finds it impossible to get lost, even if she wanted to (ie., being spontaneous on a vacation and finding the non-touristy spots)

Hobbies/Likes: Archery, hunting, reading, swimming, napping, food (new hobbies - sewing, whale-watching, meditation)

Dislikes: She'll never tell, and you'll never know

Friends/Acquaintances: Niq doesn't have super close friends due to her introverted and outwardly bland nature (and her passive ability prevents any physical closeness, see below) but she is the type of calm and quiet person that can get along with pretty much everyone, and people find it easy to talk to her about pretty much anything. She never shares secrets though, so anything you tell her she takes to the grave.

(updated and added new friends)
Sailor Ursa Major (NeonGlitterTrash) Is a friend due to the connection of their constellations, and one of the few people that do not get uncomfortable being close. They rarely physically touch, as touch bothers Nadetta, but Niq is one of the few people she is comfortable with. Nadetta is also very protective of her "little" bear. The free bear claw donuts are an extra bonus. :D
Sailor Sagittarius (sailorx161) His pessimism doesn't bother her, she views it as an honest and valid way of looking at things. Plus archery is one of her civilian hobbies.
Sailor Equuelus (purenightshade) The only other Canadian senshi (that I'm aware of). Eachna's biggest fear is getting lost, and since Niq cannot get lost, she can be quite a calming presence.
Sailor Auriga (Sakura-Chirari) He is very loyal, and Niq's quiet nature, although completely different from his, doesn't seem to bother him. He is one of very few people who can actually stand to touch her.
Sailor Dorado (nickyflamingo) Her grumpy goldfish reading buddy. They sometimes discuss the finer points of their favourite yaoi pairings (Niq may be greysexual, but that doesn't mean she can't appreciate the sexy. :D)
Sailor Orion (WingsForDreams) Quiet, solitary, you-stay-on-your-side-of-the-room-and-i'll-stay-on-mine reading companion.
:new: Guardian/Warrior Lupus (SailorAlcyone) He's one of Niq's swimming companions, and is her "Big Bro Protector". It can be very overwhelming sometimes for Niq to be around so many high energy people, and the signs she's reached her limit are pretty subtle. He scan read the signs and he'll go out of his way to turn on the charm and distract everyone, allowing Niq to make an unnoticed exit.
:new: Sailor Monoceros (Aeraellyth) Another senshi who is easily lost, so really appreciates Niq's internal compass. She's helping with his archery form, and picking up a few javelin tips from him. They are also swimming buddies, and her Librarian status is a hit with him and the many other bibliophile senshi out there. He can touch her as well, but usually chooses not too out of respect for her, even though he himself is normally a tactile person.

Senshi Name/Previous Life Name: Arcady Lodestar (literally just two other names for Polaris, the North Star, which is the brightest star in this constellation and is a large part of my inspiration for her) Her soul is imbedded into her brooch, and passed down generation by generation. There will be much more background info on her posted when I finish the 'meeting your previous self' task.

(updated a few minor details)
Differences between human form and Senshi form: Physically looses 6 inches from her civilian form, making Arcady only 4'11". Their weight, however, does not change with the height change. Her hair and eyes change colour when she transforms, from her civilian black hair (faux-hawk/both sides of head shaved, very long on top) and dark forest green eyes to Arcady's white hair (full head of hair) and vivid blue eyes. Their skin colouring is identical, so that doesn't change, however she only has the facial and body tattoos as Arcady/UrsaMinor. Although Niq is seriously considering a facial tattoo of her own. (There is actually a number of young Inuit starting to bring back the traditional face tattoos of their ancestors)

Offensive Ability: Malina's Atuqtuaq (Inuit meaning - A Solar Deity Sings) is a sub-sonic screaming/roaring attack. There is no audible noise, but the sound wavelength itself causes pain, disorientation, and temporary deafness

Passive Ability: Yakone (Inuit meaning - Red Aurora) is a naturally occurring electromagnetic field that all Sailor Ursa Minor's are born with. It blocks small attacks and allows her to sense any living thing nearby. No one can sneak up on her, and it actually causes people to be really creeped out in her presence, so they give her a pretty wide berth. Niq has a pretty large personal space bubble because of this

Weapon: The Harpoon Anuniaq (Inuit meaning - Hunter of Food or Knowledge) when it hits the enemy it sends a very strong electromagnetic pulse through the rope and shocks the enemy like a high powered taser

I absolutely ADORE her!

I wish I had a character this wonderful.....!

And I really need to make more native characters in general. I don't even have one with Inuit blood yet, I don't believe....

The way my universe is set up, Earth cultures don't exist anymore, but still....
