NPC Friends and Family:
Donato Dominique /Lord's Gift\ /Father\ /42\ - Donato is Lali's father figure in motion. He is a very intelligent looking man, standing at about 5' 11'' and has a rather unchisled body. Donato has a very grey mess of hair on the top of his head, and a pair of black spectacles on his nose at all times. Contrary to first impressions though, this man is a party animal! (^^)U Well known to most people, he owns a very large casino in the Hae district where he has raised practically his whole family, and loves to entertain his guest. He has a very glamorous nature, and doesn't like to 'blend in' with the rest of the crowd. He tends to be very flamboyant and doesn't hesitate to say exactly what he wants when he wants it. Donato has a very close relationship with his children, especially Lali, and tends to shower them with unexpected gifts and all times.
Valeria Dominique /Vigourous Lord\ /Mother\ /36\ Vali, as Valeria is often called, is the equally vivacious companion of her husband, Donato. They both head full boar into life, and don't like to miss a moment of it. She is a medium sized woman with short, cropped brown hair and tan skin. She is the endearing hostess of the Viva Casino in the Hae district. Although she loves to spend time at home, she is usually seen at the Casino dealing out cards or having a drink with some customers. She isn't really around Lali that much, but they do get along fairly well, and they both like to play cards -a lot-.
Susumu Dominique /Successful Lord\ /Sister\ /24\ Susumu is in her last year of college, getting her major in business. She hopes to take over her father's business when he passes away, and to ensure her inheritance, she is going through lots of school. Susumu and Lali are -very- different people, and despite the 'opposites attract' theory, they don't get along very well, to say the least. Lali doesn't agree with her sisters approach at life, and finds her to be a rather conceited, miserable person to be around.
Brady Dominique /Brawny Lord\ /Brother\ /15\ Brady is Lali's younger sibling. He is quite the *ahem* ladies man *ahem*. He tends to be a little out there with his father, a little outgoing, and a bit of a drama king. He doesn't like to blend in, like his father, and doesn't really take life seriously. Brady is the kid who will be seen skipping class, and partying on a Monday night. Lali does not agree with this, but goes along with it, as she does love her brother at hearts, she just prefers not to show it... ^^
Kelean Paul /Slim and Small\ /Friend\ /18\ - Kelean is all but what his name suggests. He is a tall, well-muscled young man who attends pelagia, where he generally sticks with a sports schedule. He isn't one for school work, but can rely on his athletics to get him into college. He is a senior, and -very- good friends with Lali. They met through sports, and after showing a similar interest (*hack* OBSESSION *hack*) in athletics, began to hang out with each other. Now, they are rarely seen apart.
Donelly Sassalina /Dark Courage, Fiery wine\ /Friend\ /17\ - Donelly is another senior at Pelagia. Although not as good friends with Lali as Kelean, he is still part of their posse (CUTE word! ^^). He is another athlete at the school, but is a little bit more bright (^^;;) than Kelean and Lali. Donelly is one of the kids who takes AP classes and gets A's, but still manages to be captain of the baseball team. He was blessed in many areas, including looks. He looks rather dark, having black curly hair, and a rather tan complexion, but his bright blue eyes lighten it up fairly.
Appearance:
Despite her reputation as a gambling tomboy (^^;;), she is very pretty. Standing at 5' 6'', she might be considered short for an athlete, but this didn't stop her. To improve her abilities, she trains a lot, which leads to her having a lot of muscle. Her BMI is around 17, and its obvious. She is all lean muscle, with virtually no fat on her body. She has a light tan to her skin, which gets very dark in the summer, due to practicing outside. She takes a lot of pride in her athletics, as well as injuries, so she usually has a bruise or cut somewhere on her body at all times. Overall, Lali takes very good care of her skin and body, keeping herself very clean and fit.
Lali has a very oval shaped face. It is framed by her dark locks of brown soft hair, which are layered like a cake. The top layer is very think, the medium is a bit thinner, and then at the bottom, she has a thin last layer of hair. She has choppy bangs, which frame the sides of her face. She usually parts her hair on the side, but will keep it up in a ponytail for sports and other requiring events. She has very clear skin on her face, and it is very soft to the touch. This comes from the hours that she takes in the shower or bath and the money she uses for treatments. Her eyes are oval in shape as well, and are framed in very dark, long eyelashes. They are dark green in color, and have the faintest line of black around the iris, creating a very dramatic look. Her nose is a little button nose, a little small, but very cute. And last, she has full lips, which are almost always curved in a sarcastic smile, or laughing at a stupid joke one of her friends made. She has some of the most interesting facial expressions, and is a little manic in her looks.

Lali has a very feminine voice, it being a little soft, and coming from the top of her throat. She also has a very sparkly laugh, which can get most everyone laughing along with her. She carries herself very comfortably, and is the oposite of a clutz. She rarely trips, breaks something, or hurts herself, but this comes from all of her sports. She has very good coordination, and especially good athletic skills, so her movements are generally of the graceful kind. When walking, she walks in a sort of casual, laid-back, 'I'm not really -sure- where I'm going' walk. But to contraast this, she will all of the suddent start running if she sees something she wants or her traveling goal (ie. One of her friends). She also has a tendancy to run up to you and jump into your arms if you look like you can handle it...

Lali's dress includes a myriad of styles. She doesn't just stick with one particular style often, and can be seen wearing everything from sweatpants and a T-shirt to miniskirt with a halter top. Naturally, she can be seen very often wearing sports jerseys, with the logo of the Hae district Tigers on it. She always wears the silver Divya of luck around her wrist.
Personality:
Lali is a very 'in your face' kind of person. She, like her father, loves life and wants to live it to the fullest. She is extremely outgoing, very cool and collected, and a jack of all trades. She loves to help people, and enjoys getting help from other people as well.

Lali, as I said, has a love for life, and through this comes a love for people. She loves to be around her friends, and although she might not show it, she loves it when they invite her to go somewhere or do something. She is almost always around people, and that's the way she likes it, because it fills a part of her that is very important to her. For this love of people, she has a tendency to want to know people and how they are. This creates a very outgoing personality, as well as a vibrant aura for Lali. She is always very vigorous in life, never hesitating to jump into somebody's arms or yelling for someone in the middle of a library. ^^;; She is always ready and willing to help anyone, especially her friends, and doesn't like to see anyone hurt or upset.

But, alas, she must keep her reputation. To create a more 'cool' appearance, she tends not to be too giggly or air headed, and gives herself a street-smart air, which creates a very laid-back attitude around her. Along with this attitude of not really caring about what others think of her, she has a bit of a sarcastic mouth. Not nessisarily in a mean way, as she knows when and with whom to use it, but she does have it. She is known for her incredibly good sense of humor, and large quantities of jokes that she is ready to recite and any given moment. She never hesitates to be in the center of attention when it benifits her, but would never steal it away from anyone else.

However, she does have a knack for getting attention to herself. Moni is a very well-rounded girl, and anything she tries, she is pretty much good at. She mainly sticks to playing cards and contact sports, but her list of talents goes with writing, singing, and playing the cello. She rarely talks about the things shes does besides sports, and they only come out when she wants them to. She doesn't like talking about herself, and in much more focused on the other individuals and thier talents. She believes in being humble and only using talents in a way to uplift people or help in some way. The craziest 'talent' she has though, is gambling. She claims to have never lost at poker or any other game involved with money, and she is probably right. She has a knack for it, as well as a super memory, and this along with her 'lucky bracelet' is a winning combination.
History:
Starting out with family history, the Dominiques have been in the gambling industries ever since there was shoveling out money with a 1 in a million chance of ever seeing it again. From the very beginning, they were there, shuffling, dealing, and perhaps even a little cheating, increasing their wealth as they went. Needless to say, they made quite a living on this entertainment industry no matter how many groups shunned it. Donato inherited the Viva casino from his father, who inherited it from his father and so on. They were all taught the tricks to cards, how to play all of the games, and how to give people a good time. After about 100 years of perfecting the system. The Viva casino is one of the most glamorous, expensive, and successful casinos on the planet, if not -the- most successful casino.

Anyway, though, about 2 years after he inherited the casino, Donato married his high school girlfriend Vali, who shared the same passion for life as he did. They together ran the casino, and 2 years later, had their first daughter, Susumu. It being their first time at parenting, they overprotected their daughter, and she became a very uptight, pinched up, snobby child. It wasn't entirely their fault, she just had the genes and personality. She didn't see life the same way they did, but still had her own goals and dreams, which they let her pursue. That was business. Donato didn't tell anyone, but he didn't consider this the kind of child he really wanted. He loved Susumu to death, but he wanted a child that shared the same love that he had. After finally convincing his wife it was a good idea and eight long years, they finally had a second child, Moniqua Lalita. He decided that this would be his child, to raise to love life, and be happy and loved.

A year after that, their last child was born. His name was Brady. But, he is basically irrelevant to the story of Moni, so I'll just skip that...

Moni was raised just as her father wanted. Even at three she was running up to meet people and hug them, or even talking at a ridiculous fast pace. She always had a smile on her face and just wanted to be around people in general, it didn't matter who they were, just people. She loved attention, and she loved the noise and laughter of voices. When she was old enough, she finally entered Vita elementary school, where she began quickly making friends. Donelly was the first person she met. She accidentally kicked a ball into his face and made him cry, so she went over and began crying, too. Which didn't really help the situation, but made Donelly feel better. ^^ They two became very good friends, and he introduced her to the wide world of sports.

In her 1st year of grade school, she was already beginning to develop her athletic talent. She found she could play just about any sport, and became almost obsessed with it. She joined just about any team she could, and progressed rapidly, while at the same time, her father discovered her lucky talent of cards. He found that she could out-smart and out-guess just about anybody in the casino games, and at night, he would take her into his study and teach her all about the casino games.

By the time she was in high school, she was very well-known for her athletic talents and gambling skills. And also for her tomboyish personality. She had a tendency to stir up trouble at school for the little things she would do, including switching locks on lockers and putting alarm clocks in them, and beating the principal at poker once in detention. ^^;; She never did these things to hurt anyone, or embarrass anyone, and usually got away with them. Through these pranks, she met her now 'partner in crime', Kelean Paul. He was on a crew for pulling off one of her jokes, and they got talking about sports. Already knowing that he was pretty well-rounded himself, they got into a large conversation, and decided unconsciously that they were best friends. And so now, you can't find the two apart.

One day, Moni and her father were playing cards in his study, when he stood up in the middle of a game, and walked over to his desk. Moni was concentrating on what she was to do next, when he called her over. She looked up, and saw he had a small wooden box which contained a small silver bracelet. Donato explained that it was in his family for years, and that it brought the owner the best luck. And that it now belonged to her. Lali recognized it. Her father had worn it before, actually, especially during important events. She graciously accepted the gift, and they went back to playing cards. She beat him for the first time that night.

The same night, she was examining the bracelet in her room, when she noticed one of the green glowing. She took a closer look, and became entranced in its glow. Staring at it, she was sucked into a dream world, where a voice explained all with a 'movie' showing how the divya worked, and the story behind it. The next thing Lali knew, her father was waking her up to go to school. Believing everything she heard in her dream, she went to school with the knowledge that the bracelet had powers, and that she now contained great power. What she was going to use it for, she didn't have a clue...

Currently, Lali works whenever she can at the casino, which is between school at Pelagia High and sports. She usually doesn't hang out in the Hae district, but sticks around Ranni Park with Kelean as they have the best basketball courts and soccer field.

Senshi Name: Sailor Fastia
Power: Luck and Good Fortune
Colors: Green and Silver
Items: She uses the Fastia Divya, or the divya of good luck. This is a thin, silver chained divya which contains little charms of green emerald. She also uses a pair of dice, which are like regular dice, only they are silver lead with emeralds for dots.
Attacks:
Lucky Draw - Fastia rolls the dice in her hands, shaking them as she closes her eyes, and the background behind her goes green. The Dice begin to glow, and she spins around, throwing them at the enemy. They get bigger and bigger until they hit the enemy, where they then become two 2x2 foot lead dice, and knock the enemy of their feet. About 15 % damage, depending on how close the enemy is, and where the dice hit.
Priestess of Fortune - Fastia begins the same way she does as the last attack, with the dice in her hands. She just holds them this time, and moves her lips in a prayer as wind blows upwards under her. She kisses her hands, and the dice begin to glow again. She throws the dice again towards the enemy, where it lands on a number. The higher the number, the bigger the explosion. As you guessed, after the dice land, they explode. ^^ This is a big wildcard, with damage ranging from a minor scratch to 40% damage.

As stated before, Lali is trained in athletics, so hand-to-hand combat isn't out of the question for her. She is very agile and fast as well.
