TATTOOS/PIERCINGS/SCARS: She has her tongue pierced once and ten piercings in each ear (one of those piercings in each ear counts as a safety pin strung through four holes, so in reality she has thirteen piercings in each ear). She has several black tribal tattoos on her upper arms, thighs, shoulders, stomach, and face. Her gray fox ears also have black markings on them as well as her tail. She also has scars on her forearms from continually cutting herself that are hidden by her arm warmers.
LIKES: Weapons, violence, causing trouble, cutting herself, running from the law, arcades, explosions, arguing, putting others down, and �angry music.�
DISLIKES: Zoe, Muff, Nanashi, preps, cheerleaders, �goodie-goodies,� law enforcement, being told what to do, restrictions, rules, Dutch people, aliens, terrorists, extremely cheerful people, make-up, girly stuff, anything pink, and doctor�s offices.
PERSONALITY: Destructive, psychotic, loud, violent, rebellious, high strung, weapon-crazed, rash, wild, and mean, she is a bully and thrown into the �punk/bad girl� category. She constantly criticizes anyone for anything and is not afraid to speak her mind. She has an extremely foul mouth and no respect for the law whatsoever. The crazy girl is unorganized and is almost impossible to keep under control. She is not extremely antisocial and prefers to be in the middle of things to know what is going on and to cause trouble to get attention, but she often goes off to do her own thing, such as testing out her grenade launcher, the �K12 Ass-Kicker,� on targets and sometimes even attempting to invent new weapons or upgrade her own. She constantly causes explosions of any kind and loves to cause destruction and mayhem. She breaks the law at any opportunity she gets and would rather steal items from stores than pay for them. She gloats a lot, bragging on her criminal record and especially on her superiority to Ryoko because of her body and titanic ego. She gets paranoid on certain issues, such as aliens taking over, which results in her shooting her grenade launcher in every direction where a sudden noise comes from. She�s a masochist and enjoys cutting her arms up. It�s not so much from depression all the time, more or less she just likes to do it because she�s so messed up.
BIOGRAPHY: Plague is Ryoko�s alternate personality. It was not until the day that Rei left his family that Ryoko�s stress and anger was enough to release Plague. Somehow Ryoko�s unique powers separated Plague from her and gave her alter ego a physical body. It was quite a shock to the family, but seeing as how no one was able to figure out how to reunite the two as one again, Plague had no choice but to stay in the household.
Plague causes all sorts of problems from numerous detentions, suspensions, and becoming a criminal on the FBI�s Most Wanted List. It is a miracle that she has not gotten expelled from school yet! Shortly after gaining her own body, she got the bright idea to break into Area 51. Before she even got past the perimeter, a UFO came out of nowhere and abducted her. The results of their experiments resulted in the black markings all over Plague�s body, her superhuman strength, and psychotic issues (the experimental drugs they injected her with caused a permanent chemical imbalance in her brain, resulting in her being extremely violent and even more mentally unstable than she already was). The extraterrestrials locked her in a room with an enhanced rabid shaved weasel, which began attacking Plague. Plague freaked out at first, but eventually defeated the creature. Ripping the door off of its hinges, she escaped the room and temporarily held the aliens hostage and demanded to be released. They opened up a hole in the floor of the spacecraft and Plague plummeted to the ground, landing in Holland. Stealing a truck with various weapons loaded into the back, she began driving towards an airport. She swerved off of the road to avoid hitting an old Dutch man with a chicken cart. Grabbing a machine gun from the back of the truck, she swore at the man and demanded what his problem was as she began shooting at the ground before his feet, making him dance around. When she ran out of ammo, the old man threw one of his wooden shoes at her, which enticed Plague into tackling him and the two began to wrestle, the chickens sticking their heads out of their crates and clucking excitedly. The man finally escaped after breaking his other shoe over Plague�s head and heading back to his village. When Plague got up and inspected the vehicle, the engine had been damaged beyond repair. Kicking a hole in the side of the truck, she walked the rest of the way to the airport. When she landed in the United States, she dragged a group of Arabic terrorists out of the airplane. In an attempt to hijack the plane, the terrorists were unexpectedly overpowered by the crazy fox girl. Despite her unintentional heroic efforts, Plague was sent to a mental institution. She managed to escape using a spoon and soap on a rope and outran the law while driving the rest of the way home.
It was not until she was caught by the law yet again and sent to a military prison did she break into the weapons� vault and steal her famous grenade launcher and escape. Living in a small town, not many people recognize her, so she can walk around freely, but still ducks behind various obstacles to hide from the police, flipping the bird and cursing at them while they drive in the other direction after passing her by. She does not take kindly to having other people moving into the house. When Ryoko says yes, Plague almost immediately screams no.
QUIRKS: Plague is Ryoko in another form and Ryoko is Plague in another form; they are one in the same. Therefore if one is feeling pain, so does the other. For instance, if Ryoko gets a broken arm, Plague�s arm will break in the same place at the same time, thus the two share the exact same injuries. Plague�s goal in life is to become number one on the FBI�s Most Wanted list. She has her own personal reasons for disliking everyone to a certain extent, but she argues with Zoe and Sin the most. She obviously dislikes Nanashi because he holds a grudge with her. She refers to Muff as �The Gremlin� and swears up and down the walls when he hops along the floor towards her. She thinks that Muff is a creepy rat and to her almost anything or anyone who has any sort of close relationship with Ryoko she hates, which includes certain pets. Though it seems like Plague and Ryoko almost hate each other�s guts a lot of the time, they secretly care for each other like sisters. Surprisingly, Plague is very territorial over her hikari and not just because Ryoko is her in a certain sense of logic. She is protective of Ryoko when she is in danger, thus showing a rare caring side to her. Ryoko is the same way with her yami as well. Plague�s way of showing concern is to curse and ramble on, thus her loud way of showing that she is upset can get anyone�s attention. Her relationship with Sin is somewhat obscured. The two argue a lot, almost constantly, but at times Plague seems to care for him. Plague argues with Zoe because of her high-and-mighty attitude and neither back down from an argument, but the much more silent Sin suddenly becomes extremely verbal when Plague starts up with him. Out of character? Yes. Swearing in both English and Japanese, most people keep their distance when Sin begins arguing with Plague for no apparent reason. Some speculate that the two might be attracted to each other but are afraid to show their true feelings, thus resulting in pointless arguments to hide their interest in each other and to hopefully keep their attraction at bay. Being one of the main characters of �Mish*Mash�, Plague is the exact opposite of her hikari, Ryoko. However, the two have some similarities. Both can be a bit insecure. Plague? Insecure? Yes; she shows a deep concern for those she cares for when they�re in danger despite her way of going into a cussing fit to show that she cares. Like Ryoko wants to be a little more like Plague, Plague secretly wishes that she were more like Ryoko and envies her for several reasons: courage, power, compassion, most people automatically liking her, and at times her hikari�s appearance---all these and more Plague wishes that she could have. Plague isn�t always proud of her actions. Sometimes she wishes that she were kinder and that she didn�t spontaneously behave the way she does. It�s mostly because of her brain damage, but also part of the reason Plague is afraid to be kind is because of her insecurity, envy, and a secret fear of rejection.

THOUGHTS: Plague�s pretty much a bad azz. One of her favorite phrases concerning shoplifting is, �The $h*t�s just sitting there, so it�s free for the taking! H*ll, it�s practically begging to be stolen!� One of my first human-ish characters, Plague and Ryoko are almost exact opposites, but they both have some similarities. Originally Ryoko was gonna be all happy-go-lucky, but in order to make her a bit different from Kenyamon and not as annoying and more well-liked and to go along with her destiny as a warrior, I made Ryoko a little more hard core. Maybe not as much as her yami, but that�s one of the few small similarities between the two.
