CHARACTER NAME: Uriko Nonomura

FANDOM: Bloody Roar

AGE: 14

GRADE: Freshman

HISTORY: Uriko's mother is something like the 'crazy cat lady' that, y'know, lives three houses down and has this perpetual smell of cat litter from the house. Only... replace the crazy with pretty, and take the litter smell away. Her dad wasn't as into having so many cats. At two, her parents divorced and her dad left, occasionally paying child support as he was supposed to. The divorce was simply over the amount of cats her mother kept and nothing more. Love was lost over one man's intolerance for felines.

Uriko grew up surrounded by cats. There was never some bizarre special understanding between the girl and her cats like people insisted upon, but the cats treated her as one of theirs, and Uriko treated them as the cute little fluffballs they were.

But living as the daughter of the 'crazy cat lady', which was often called the 'horny cat lady' for being so attractive, Uriko would find herself getting into fights, or picked on. Either way, her mother wasn't putting up with it and enrolled her in an after school martial arts program. She pays little attention to what kind it is, only that Uriko is able to defend herself instead of coming home sobbing or bruised. She also promised to extend her outdoor curfew.

Uriko studies under Long Shin, local ken-po master. She takes to the art quickly and easily, though her execution is sloppy and tends to scratch instead of using her palm. After making it through her first fight, she's left alone for a while until after school one day. Having found a stray cat, she tries to play with it like her cats at home. The stray doesn't take to her so well and scratches her. Shortly after, Uriko falls sick for a while, the cause being the infected scratch from the stray. She's picked on profusely afterward, harassment increasing so much that mother and daughter move into a different school district, leaving several of the cats behind (older ones that went in and out as they liked.)

In-depth Synopses:

History Uriko was kidnapped by Tylon as a child to be used in an experiment that created super beast soldiers. She was brainwashed and converted into the body of a woman that stored the power of a synthetic transformation known as 'Werechimera'. While brainwashed she was forced to fight against her mother and her friend, Alice, whom she had helped to escape from Tylon. But it was thanks to their efforts that she was freed from Tylon's influence and she changed back to her normal self, returning with her mother and Alice home.

Five years later, Uriko enters junior high. One day after school, she sees a group of men surrounding her mother. The leader easily floors the powerful Mitsuko and they abduct her. Angry, she decides to transform and defeat her mother's abductors. Unfortunately, the experiments that were performed on her those five years ago has left lasting effects on her ability to transform. The force is too much and her transformation stops halfway in the form of a cat. Too weak to fight them off, they easily defeated her mother who is known to be one of the strongest Zoanthropes. In order to gain the strength she needs to rescue her mother, she seeks out Long, who is a renowned martial artist. After defeating Long's clone, she parts Long's with him to go and find her mother. She finds her mother in a holding cell, and hugs her tearfully, glad to be reunited. Having returned the favor of rescuing her, the two returned home together.

After rescuing her mother, they return to a peaceful life; which she considers incredibly boring. Saddened that Kenji would not play with her anymore, she turned her attention to what her friends, Alice and Yugo, were doing. They were investigating the strange crests that were appearing on other Zoanthropes, and the sudden and mysterious deaths that followed after their discovery. Looking for something to keep her occupied, she decided to investigate too. Uriko cheers over a fallen Xion, the killer of many crest-possessing Zoanthropes for her victory. She then notices the tabula, a sentient stone that caused the emergence of the Zoanthrope crests, and picks it up. As it begins to speak to her, she freaks out and drops the stone, smashing on the floor. She leaves, not too bothered by what had just happened. Over the dinner table that night the discussions are: Can rocks talk and should Uriko's curfew be stricter?

Personality Uriko is a bubbly young girl. Excitable by nature, she likes to play and enjoy life, not letting negative things get her down. She can appear very childish at times, and can come off as rather foolish by her actions, but in general she is just a nice girl who wants to have a good time. She cares very deeply about her family, and is willing to do anything to help them.
