Name: Niriko Inverse
Name Pronunciation: Nee-ree-ko In-verse
Age: 17 (Slayers)/18 (Slayers Next)/19 (Slayers Try & Eternal)
Hair color: Red, like Lina's, only less orange and more pinkish (sort of)
Hairstyle: Cut short and straight two inches above shoulders, angled down, with a long braid that reaches her knees in the back.
Attire: I don't know exactly what it's called...anyone ever played "Dead or Alive 3"? It's like Kasumi's second costume.
Race: Human, for the most part. Also known as the Teyo Ria Lord of the Red Dragons...(it's explained a little further in Eternal, Episode 4, namely)
Title(s): Teyo Ria [Angel Dragon in "ancient words"] Lord of the Red Dragons; Bandit-Slayer
First Series Appearance: The Slayers
Magical Status: A sorceress just as powerful as Lina; her magical abilities almost match Lina's, except that she can do almost no white magic, is more experienced in black magic and a little less in shamanism.
Weaponry: Sorushina, the enchanted blade of Teyo Ria; has eight spells (pic coming soon, I hope!):
>Strike of Fire
>Strike of Water
>Strike of Lightning
>Strike of Wind
>Strike of Earth
>Strike of Ice
>Strike of Life (incantation coming soon)
>Strike of Death (incantation coming soon)
The Teyo Ria Sword is a a double-edged sword of regular length (not a short-sword, not a long-sword). While Niriko is skilled with a blade, Gourry is still the best.
[Living] Relations: Lina Inverse (cousin); Luna Inverse (cousin)
Niriko is often withdrawn and has a shorter temper than even Lina—as a result of her childhood. As you will read in Eternal, Niro, a dark-sorcerer bandit leader, killed her parents when she was six years old. Since then Niriko has sworn a death vengeance on him, and he on her. As such, Niriko is often very reluctant to get close to anyone in the fear that she may lose them. She has a sharp tongue, and it's hard to tell whether or not she's kidding. However, once you get her to open up, she makes a reliable companion and an overall good friend. Hint: NEVER pity Niriko and show it. You'd wholly regret it.
Niriko has only two really close friends: Lina, and her pet rabbit Louie. Niriko tells Lina more things than she tells anyone else, but sometimes that's not a whole lot! She is pretty friendly with most of the others, but since she has known Lina and Louie the longest—and the fact that Lina is her only living relative besides Luna—she is closest with them. The two she is second-closest with would be Kadachi and Chame.
