:bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblack:Introduction::bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblack:
Name: Eri Charmchi
Age: 22 years.
Gender: Female
Gang status: Colorless.

Height: 170 centimeters.

:bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblack:Personal information::bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblack:
Personality: Eri is a pretty hardworking girl, that besides the situation in City X tries to maintain her positive outlook on the world. She's pretty honest, but has tendencies to be pretty blunt as well, which sometimes might get her in trouble.
Even though she tries to look positively at the world, it doesn't stop her from having slight trust issues around people she doesn't know, or doesn' feel comfortable with. But if she DOES love someone, on the other hand, and she loves a lot of people who are close to her, she will most likely end up putting them before herself, which can be pretty dangerous in a way, since she'd be worryign about their safety a lot.
Eri is afraid of the dark, this is something that's been with her ever since she was little, and she still strongly insists that there must be some kind of monster under her bed. Or at least out in the dark streets. If possible, she stays inside at night, or comes back when it's still light enough so that the street lamps are just being lit.
Growing up in the city as she has, has given her a good sense of the small amount of money, and budgetting is a pretty strnog side of her. When she's not in the university studying, or in the café working, she can be found either prowling through waters in the public baths, swimming, or home reading or playing video games. She's a sucker for RPG's and multiplayer fighting games, like say, Street fighters.
She's very passionate about everything she likes, say swimming and what not, and she has a talent of singing, but will most likely not show that off in public. She doesn't see the need to do so.
The girl has another phobia besides the darkness, mainly being tat she does not like to be touched, whether it being strangers or very close friends. It almost borders to a phobia where she will get startled, or start shaking strongly, and making her freeze up. That makes life a little hard, specially working as a waitress, but she's gotten pretty good at avoiding near-contact with people as much as possible.

- If first she gets angry, she can throw some pretty bad tantrums at everyone.
- 'Stage Fright' - In the sense of her getting pretty darn anxious when she has to present herself, say at exams or job interviews.
- By having a tendency to put other people first, she has a lot of people that she just wishes she could protect. If anything happened to these, she'd be utterly devastated.
- She's afraid of the dark. Like, a lot. She rarely ventures outside when it's dark voluntarily, unless it's for work purposes. Because of this, most of her shifts are morning/afternoon shifts.

:bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblack:Background information::bulletblack::bulletwhite::bulletblack:
Family: Father: Elijah Charmchi, 52. Mother: Leira Charmchi, 49. Younger sibling: Maiah Charmchi, 19.
Bio:
:bulletblack: (0-5 years): At this point the whole family were living in southern Spain. Elijah was a efficient and talented doctor, while Leira was a anthropologist. Eri got born, as a sound and safe child, and three years later her little brother Maiah was born. Those years were happy, and they didn't miss anything at all. Eri started in kindergarden and made some friends, although she was always a bit timid around people, rarely getting too close to hugs or the like. It made the parents worry a bit, but they thought she might outgrow it.
:bulletblack: (5-10 years): This was where things began to get interesting. When Eri turned five, Elijah got an job offer that he couldn't resist, coming from the City X. After much debating between him and Leira, they ended up ripping up their roots and moving to this city in Asia. It seemed like a whole new adventure for Eri, and just after her sixth birthday, and Maiah's third, they arrived at what would be their new home, for ever to come. The city wasn't nice though. Although Elijah got the job he wanted, in a big hospital, he refused to join neither of the gangs, resulting in the pay being very very low. Leira got a job at the same place, but as a nurse, and that way they managed to somehow be able to care for their little family. Since once in the city, getting out wasn't truly a possibility unless you have the right connections. Eri got enrolled in primary school, and Maiah both got enrolled in a kindergarten, but they began to get bullied. Eri was bullied mainly by people trying to touch her when clearly she didn't like that, and it just increased the fear. But she still tried nonetheless to protect Maiah, who would hide behind her, every time something bad came up or happened. It was a relief for both of them when he started to go in the same school as well, even if the bullies followed. One day however, when Eri was nine, they went too far. Using the little brother as bait, as if they were going to beat him up, they managed to lure Eri to them, and she realized it to late to run away. Some of the older kids grabbed her and held her down, as the other kids began to touch her, some even hurt her in the process, and she started screaming, squirming, crying and trying to get free. Without much luck though, and Maiah was just as frozen in fear as she was. Finally a teacher stepped in, kinda against their will, since the teacher had enjoyed it just as much, and got the other kids away. Eri curled up in a ball, sobbing and shaking, and when Maiah carefully tried to pat her hair, she slapped her brothers hand away with a slight scream, shocking both of them. She did apologize however, and another teacher came to call their parents. Leira was there to get both of her children home, and she and Elijah instantly decided to move them both to another school. But since that day, Eri wouldn't let anyone touch her, directly. Only once in a while her brother, but even then she'd start shaking, or tensing up, clearly not liking it. At least in the new school, everything seemed to be better.
:bulletblack: (10-15 year): Here it was a lot better. There were less children who'd bully them, but there were still the instances once in a while where someone by accident grabbed Eri's arm, and made her pull away with a slight scream. But it was also now, as the kids got older, that Eri started to hear more about the gang wars, something that her parents had eagerly tried to avoid introducing them to as they were still too young. Most kids already knew what gang they wanted to join, might've even started trying hanging out with the others, and everyone and their mother surely knew about the crystals that their hearts would turn into if they died. Besides that though, not a lot of people knew much more, and classmates would start hating each other knowing that one person was supporter of the opposite gang of what they'd might want to be part off themselves. Eri didn't want no part in that though, and she tried to avoid the kids the most possible. So did Maiah, luckily for her. When she came home, she'd ask her parents about it, and both would look at each other, before looking at her. Saying they were colorless. This because they didn't want to be part of the wars, believing that it wouldn't help anyone. It might give them low pay, and worse rights, but in a sense they were more free like that, even if they wold in a sense most likely have more enemies. Elijah wouldn't want to choose between what patients he treated, and surely didn't want to treat anyone different from another. This was a mindset that Eri adopted, fairly quickly, and she started to try to look positively at the world again, with more luck this time. At this point she had been swimming for a long time already, having had managed to find a pool that didn't charge a lot, and discovering that she also had a slight talent for it, enabling her to go to swimming competitions.
:bulletblack: (15-20 years): She started high school at this point, and got herself a part time job in the café where she still works to this day. Still avoiding physical contact with mostly anyone though, can make the job a bit harder than you'd think. And the world turned more grim, in a way, knowing how it was for everyone around her. She still tried to be positive, but she was very much careful when she met new people. Not to talk too much about she holds dear, not to tell too much about herself either, until they'd known eachother for a bit longer time. As she came in age for university, she decided to study intercultural communication and technologies, which is what she's doing now, at the age of 22, as she keeps working as waitress, but supplements it by competing in swimming competitions, seeing as her pay is quite low her being colorless and all. Her little brother dropped out of high school, and began working in the same hospital as their parents, cleaning.

Gang history: She decided not to join a gang since her parents wouldn't like it, and she is not fond of the thought of owing herself to anyone.
