Name: Ballari O'Brian
Nickname(s): Bal, Ree, Ari
Age: 23
Sex: Female
Species: Human
Faceclaim: Katie McGrath
Alignment: Neutral
Alias: Angel
Group: Sky Guy (Pink)
Job Description:
Ballari has two jobs. One is the job she is known for in the public's eyes, and that is singing. Ballari works at a local bar where she sings six out of seven days, though sometimes they wrangle her into working that seventh day. But only for a price.
Her second job is a little more...touchy. Literally. Behind the scenes, Ballari is a Pink Shy Guy. Basically, she's a prostitute. She sells her body to men - and sometimes women - that she doesn't even know just to pay the bills. This job disgusts her, as she hates having to do this and feels dirty every time her customer's hands touch her flesh, but knows it is necessary. She has to support her child, after all.

Final Smash:
Human:
We Started This Op'ra Shit:
Grabbing up her microphone, Ballari takes a deep breath and releases the loudest and shrillest note she can make. This often has her enemy on the floor in pain, and gives her enough time to either finish him off, or run like hell.
Shy Guy:
Take it All Off
Losing her cloak, Ballari attempts to seduce her enemy and force him to drop his weapons before delievering a stab into the stomach. This sometimes also leads to her snatching his wallet.
Weaknesses:
Aside from being completely human, Ballari is also very fragile, even for a female. Despite her speed and agility, she is not very strong, and prefers to avoid fights over causing them. She also seems to always be distracted during a fight, as she often worries about her son.
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Stone Blue
Height: Tall
Build: Average
Overall Physical Description:
Ballari is a very beautiful woman. With long, thick black hair and wide, stone blue eyes, her face alone is enough to make a man stop dead in his tracks and stare. Not to mention that most of her height (about 5' 8") is leg, and the other part is delicately curved. It is because of beauty that she is able to sell herself so easily, and for a little higher price than the others.
When it comes to attire, Ballari has two different styles. The first is what she wears around Jamie, and to sing. It is mostly conservative; a pair of jeans and a top that is more than likely flattering, but without displaying anymore flesh than is necessary. However, her second style is only used when she dons the pink cloak of her nighttime gig. Beneath the cloak, where only her paying customers can see, she clads herself is very little to nothing. More than likely, it is a skimpy black outfit, though sometimes she will change the color - and even amount of flesh shown.
Overall Personality Description:
Ballari has a mainly negative outlook on herself. Instead of seeing herself as the beautiful youn woman she could be, she instead spits at her image and hisses 'whore' whenever she looks in the mirror. She hates what she does, and finds the entire thought disgusting. The only reason she is a Pink Shy Guy is because she has to support her son, and would do anything for him. He is the light of her life.
Out of her two jobs, her favorite is her main job; that of a bar singer. She loves to sing, and uses it to escape her troubles. Even though it isn't the better paying, it definitely makes her feel better about herself than the other job.
Even though her family has disowned her, Ballari loves the few members of her family that still recognize her: her son, Jamie, and their Mightyenna, Fang (who Jamie named when he was just a baby).

History:
Ballari was born the middle child of six siblings, a decent mix of three boys and three girls. Out of all of her siblings, Ballari was the quietest, despite her love of singing. For the longest time, she kept her voice to herself, until her parents realized she had a talent, and took her to their church. From the age of seven until her pregnancy became obvious, Ballari sang in the choir, often taking solos and sometimes even whole songs.
Being raised in a very conservative household took a toll on Ballari, and the young woman grew up believing all her parents taught her. Little girls were to be seen, not heard, unless singing at church; they were to find someone that loved them, but to hold off on that love until after a band was wrapped around that special finger. For the longest time, Ballari believed and followed all the rules her parents laid before her. Until she met Kenneth.
Kenneth was a regular at her church, the preacher's son to be exact. He was also expected to take up his father's place when his dad retired, and he was old enough. The two met when they were just ten, and quickly became best friends. It wasn't until they were fifteen, however, that they actually began dating. On their anniversary, Kenneth and Ballari went out to the movies, then to the park to just walk around. The walking turned into sitting beneath and tree and observing the pond. Then into kissing.
Despite their strong beliefs, the night and the heat and the passion was too much for either of them. Ballari lost her virginity that night, Abe the pair of them conceived a little boy, although neither of them knew it yet. Kenneth made Ballari promise to never speak of that night, and she did, so the two continued to date. But when Ballari realized she was pregnant, Kenneth balked. He threatened to tell everyone she was a slut, a whore, and that she had seduced him if she told he was the father. In fact, he actually called her those names, halfway believing himself that he could not conceive a child out of wedlock.
When Ballari went to her parents, they immediately disowned her. Her siblings, despite their love for her, all turned their back on her due to their father's wishes. Ballari was suddenly left with no home, and no place to go with a child on the way. Luckily, her siblings had enough sense and love to give her the money she had saved - and her father had denied giving her - so she could get a place. Ballari then got a job at a local bar as a singer.
The job brought in enough money for Ballari to survive, but when her son was born, she realized she would have to take up another job. At first, she searched for another singing job, but when that failed, she got a job as a stripper. Unfortunately, that soon fell through, and Ballari was let go when they bar had to make some cuts. It was because of this job that her future employer noticed her.
Matthew Turner, a Yellow Shy Guy, noticed the young woman on the stage, and studied up on her. He knew how desperate she was for a second job when he approached her. Ballari was hesitant to accept the job, as she knew it meant becoming a whore, but the words of her family and only lover came back, hissing in ear, and she knew that she was already a whore. So she took the job, and became a Pink Shy Guy.
Within a few months, she had enough money between the jobs to get out of the shack she and Jamie were living in and into a better home. A year later, she bought a Poocheynna, who Jamie quickly dubbed "Fang." It later evolved while protecting the two during a break-in.
Anything Else:
She's slightly bitter to the world, though Jamie is honestly the light of her life. She would do anything to protect him and keep him safe, which is why she stoops so low by selling her body.
