Sex: Female
Species: Hoomin
Faceclaim: Jessica Andrews

Allignment: Neutral
Alias: Rose
Group: Black Thorns

Job Description:

Tori is the leader of her own little gang, called the Black Thorns. She means to steadily take back the city from the mafia dons and return peace to the city - or at least defuckify it as much as possible. She ensures that all violence happening in the gang is essiential, and that no innocent is harmed by a gang member.

She is also a DJ at Jade Summers' bar, the Twisted Sister.

Moveset:

• Shovel
  - Hits people with a shovel.
  
• Crank Out the CDs
  - Grabbing up her bag, she begins to throw CDs at her enemy like a ninja would his ninja stars.
  
• We're Going Old Skool
  - Pretty much the same attack as above, just with records.
  
• Not Quite as Old Skool
  - Using the tape in the cassettes, Tori binds her enemy, leaving them vulnerable to an attack.
  
• Listen to the Beat
  - Normally combined with the above attack; Tori grabs her earphones and places them over her enemy's ears and blasts death metal until their head bangs at the awesomeness they get free or fall unconsciouness.
  
• Kick
  - Really, y'all? Always has steel-toed...somethingorother on.
  

Final Smash:
Let's Get This Party Started -
Tori leaps into a DJ booth that appears out of no where - much like Kirby's kitchen - and throws on her earphones. She then begins to rock out in head banging style, and fluorescent music notes begin to fly around, injuring whatever they hit.

Weaknesses:
Tori's fighting style is very random, and she is proned to avoid the shadows or darkness. She begins to freak out of she's in the dark. Also, her final smash injures everyone, including her allies.

Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Mossy Green
Height: Tall
Build: Average

Overall Physical Description:

Tori is a very pretty woman, at least to most people she meets. She is tall, though her body is pretty well perportioned for her height. Her features, however, are very delicate, making her seem a lot more harmless that she really is. She has black hair, normally cut short, and mossy green eyes that sometimes appear to be a light brown color.

Due to her lifestyle, Tori believes in wearing comfort but stylish clothes. She knows she will sometimes have to run, and even fight, so she tends to stick the always useful blue jeans. Her shirts, however, differ in style, as do the shoes she wears.

Overall Personality Description:

Tori is a rather complicated individual. She wants peace - or what can be salvaged - to return to the Kingdom, and will stop at nothing to get it. However, she hates unncessary violence, and refuses to grant her gang permission to kill any innocent. She is a calm, collected individual (at least in front of a gang), and can easy any sort of tension among a group.

However, beneath her collected facade, Tori also has a shattered child living inside of her. She hates the dark, or even shadows, and refuses to close the door to any room unless there are windows nearby. For the longest time, she would flinch when anyone raised their hand, but has since beaten back that habit. Since her father taught her to never show fear or pain, she instead chooses to lash out in anger whenever she is afraid or hurting.

History:

Tori Ashwood is the youngest of the four Ashwood children. Born when Kirsten was 19, Melissa 17, and Jacob 12, Tori was a complete surprise to both of her parents, who had thought that their three children were all they were destined to bring into the world. However, Tori was not born into the warm, loving household she deserved; nor was she very much welcomed by her father.

Her mother was a sick woman, very frail in body and soul. She had spent years fighting off her husband's violent words and fists, taking the blows meant for her children. By the time Tori came around, she was weak and exhausted, and her daughter was forced to fend for herself. What the poor woman did not realize, however, was that a small child can only deal with such abuse before it permenantly damages the mind.

Up until she was about ten, her father would throw her into a closet or a dark, closed off room until she either passed out from crying so hard, or her mother decided to free her. Once she passed the age of ten, however, her father turned his fists onto her. It's because of this that she lashes out in anger whenever she's afraid, instead of cringing back.

Tori was freed from this terror when, at the age of eighteen, she left the house that had been little more than a home to her terror, and taken to the streets. It was there she met her future second/third/second again in command of her gang, Michael Rhodes, and the pair joined up.

After a few years of gathering friends and allies, Tori realized she had a small gang on her hands, and decided to organize them. A year later, the Black Thorns were formed, and Tori set to trying to clean up the streets. She wanted to make everything right again, bring back the world people claimed had once existed.

It was in her gang that she met Solid Snake, a nobody who had quickly risen to power. She made him her SIC, bumping down Michael, and the pair took care of the gang for a while. And then Snake left, for reasons even Tori isn't sure of. So Michael got his spot back, though Tori's noticed he's been a bit cold lately...
