STARTER SKILL/MEMORY

Memory: Ranking #1 AT LIKE 13/14 YEARS OLD like the creepy little sociopathically motivated kid she ... was
means:
SHE REMEMBERS BEING FANTASTIC
She outpaced "their" expectations
She was good
It ... didn't really seem like she'd reached an "end goal" or that she was seeking out this kind of recognition; more like an "of course; this is only to be expected" kind of thing
THERE IS A VAGUE SENSE OF VIOLENCE CONNECTED TO THIS; not in the sense of that she feels attacked but that she was very aware that the context for her was that she was someone capable of this violence and very good at it and that this number was connected to that violent context and that this was something she expected to engage in again
With that comes a sense of self preservation; she was good at this because her position meant she had to be, she was ... a sword she wielded against ... threats to herself? Whatever those were, and she was recognized for being fastest at eliminating them
SHE HAD SHORTER HAIR
ALSO, IT WAS WHITE? AND HER EYES WERE SILVER? WHATEVER
Also had a sword, and a ... rune, which were hers; what happened to them? (oh well)
.... she remembers wearing pants. Which means that until she remembers Awakening or anything related to that she will probably want a pair of pants. AFTER THAT, THOUGH ... sob, she has no body shame whatsoever. The pants are just because it's what is familiar.

Skill: Monstrous strength
What it says.
Now, this is going to be fun: strength without the skill and poise to use it correctly or proficiently but with the memory of being combat experienced means she's going to be spending a lot of time wrestling monsters to death but VERY INEFFICIENTLY and also, at least early in her time in Aather, probably accidentally crushing somebody's hand or bones without actually meaning to, just because she isn't used to compensating for it and isn't ... expecting it, so to speak. The memory she has clearly conveys a sense of superior strength but it didn't also gift her with the complete awareness of how to carry that strength or even what it meant. SO FUN TIMES WITH HER ACCIDENTALLY CRUSHING PEOPLE'S HANDS AND THEN APOLOGIZING INSINCERELY, YEP. Also this means she can do the crazy Claymore-standard superjumps. While not superfast, she can also still use her legs to propel herself a good distance at impressive speed by kicking off the ground the right way, once she gets the hang of it/figures it out, but for now let's just stick with the superjumps because she'll have to experiment to figure that one out and we'll see how experimentally inclined in that direction she's feeling after a few days in Aather; it all depends on whether she sees a reason to.
