Name: Priya Varma
Alias: Sailor Venus, Sailor V
Age: 22
Birthdate: May 2
Sex: Female
Occupation: Part-timer / Aspiring actress
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 165 cm (5' 5")
Face Claim: Neha Sharma
Appearance: Pretty and petite, Priya's charm comes mostly from her energetic disposition. She smiles easily and flirts just like breathing, so she is generally seen as a fun-loving and approachable sort of girl. She enjoys following fashion, so she often wears clothes that some, particularly her parents, might consider a little odd. Priya favors warm, bright colors and bold patterns. She almost always wears her hair tied back in some way, as she gets very distracted when it falls into her face all the time.
Personality: Genial and outgoing, Priya has always loved being the life of the party. She is fun-loving and enthusiastic, but sometimes this lust for life can get her into trouble, especially in instances where she should be more careful and less careless. Priya can easily get in over her head, but she's generally resourceful enough to figure a way out of trouble somehow. She loves her parents dearly and always tries to keep them happy, but she has a distaste for other kinds of authority, especially the police, due to a few bad experiences in her past.
Priya is very social and loves to go out on the town with friends, dragging them along even when they protest. In her mind, there's not a problem that can't be solved by a few drinks, a night of dancing, or a shopping spree. She plays hard, but she works hard too. When she sets her mind to something, Priya can very diligent and focused. Turning her work into a game is another way she keeps her spirits up, and even when she moans and complains about having to do a less-desirable task, she rarely ever stays negative for long.
Powers and Abilities:
Crescent Compact - As Sailor V, she uses this as her primary means of attack. It can be used as a boomerang or also produce a beam of energy to combat opponents. It is an object given to her by her guardian, Artemis, and she keeps it close at all times.
Energy / Light Powers - Venus's attacks are based on energy and light. Her most basic power is an energy beam that she produces with the aid of the Crescent Compact, but upon further development as a Soldier she will be able to use the Crescent Beam unassisted. The energy from the beam can also be manipulated into various forums, including a whip or a sword, but these advanced powers are unavailable to Venus in her newly awakened state.
Sailor V Kick! - Priya wasn't used to physical combat before being awakened as Sailor V, but kicking haphazardly at her opponent with her heels seemed to be the easiest option. Since accepting her role as a Sailor Soldier, she's taken up kickboxing lessons to actually put this ability to use.
Family:
Father - Mahesh Varma, used car dealer
Mother - Rati Varma, dance studio instructor
Sister - Esha Varma, office worker (26)
Nephew - Naveen Varma (6, twin)
Nephew - Ravi Varma (6, twin)
Large extended family of uncles/aunts/cousins, etc.
Other Connections:
Artemis Baker - guardian, mentor, benefactor
History: Born as the second daughter and the baby of the family, Priya grew up competing for her parent's attention with her older sister, Esha, so from a young age she'd developed many skills and strategies in order to get noticed by adults. In school, she made friends easily, though she tended to flock towards girls who shared her interest in clothes and boys. Later on, she began to attend parties and frequent clubs, and during university developed a rather wild reputation.
Priya met her guardian and mentor, Artemis Baker, while she was still in school, and awakened to her Sailor Soldier destiny shortly afterward. He taught her to master her transformation and her basic powers, and she took up the mantle of Sailor V (for Venus) as she began her search for the other unawakened Soldiers and the reborn Princess Serenity, whom they are charged with defending.
She earned a degree in communications, but since leaving school had worked part-time jobs while she pursues her goal of being an actress and moonlights as Sailor V, Warrior of Love and Beauty.
Writing Sample: Priya felt her mobile vibrate in her back pocket for about the dozenth time while tried to smile through the rest of the table's order. She had her pen perched above the paper, jotting down the shorthand for the meals the family wanted to order, all while trying to keep from taking out the phone and smashing it into little tiny pieces on the floor.
Honestly, she knew Artemis had time on his hands, but didn't he understand that other people actually had to work for a living?
"All right, that's two daily specials and one plate of fish and chips, extra peas. Anything else?"
After hurriedly copying down the drink order, Priya flashed a smile and turned to flee back towards the kitchen.
"I'm taking my break!" she called out to the rest as she left the order with the cook, digging into her pocket for the still-buzzing mobile.
This had better be an actual emergency or she was going to skin that cat alive...
