Original canon background: N/A
Personality: Raquel is an rather energetic girl when you get down to it that's perhaps one of the first things people would get when they meet her, the next things you'd get is a fighter. She loves conflict in some form. Generally in the sort of competitions of trying to one up someone in a feat of skill or strength. Oddly she takes losing fairly well, it's a sign to show there's someone better than her at something. Which she sees as a chance to improve and get better at. To her there's nothing worse than to realize your the biggest fish in the pond and there are no challenges left for her to tackle.
Her mother's upbringing of her has been strange since the age she could start to walk and talk? Her mother has been training in the Kishin Ken style. She's come to enjoy the training as its often one of the times she feels closer to her mother. She however a bit of a nerd which she sometimes hides from her mother, namely she has a love of building mecha models of various sorts from kits or even from scratch she finds it's a good way to focus on fine control and creativity.
When she gets into a fight or training she's often very playful about it as she's never quite figured out why but she has a deep enjoyment of fighting. She feels alive when she does so, when she's. She's not so foolish that she'd consider an actual battle to be a game but even then her playful edge would still be noticeable often poking or teasing her foe in a fight.
She's also a people person she likes being in groups a lot being social dragging friends out to see things. When she gets excited about something she's quite prone to dragging her parents into things. She's very fond of the beaches and night life in Rio de Janeiro and would be very prone to dragging friends into adventures in the city. She's quite prone to the idea of you should enjoying thins right now this very moment. She gets on well enough with her mother and does enjoy learning from her.
Still once and a while she has to wonder if her mother is from Mar's or some such with how she behaves and some things she just does not get about life as a young person. Beyond the normal of the Adults just not getting it.
Finally she's quite the wilful young lady and was quite the handful for her mother at time. She also got a fairly strong sense of justice and will call out something she thinks isn't right but this can get her into trouble as she has little to no tact when she says such things. This also ties into she can have a bit of an explosive temper at times but she normally keeps it under control, she is however one to be seen as quite hotblooded. This is most noticeable when she gets into a fight and just fully get into the battle.
Still someone might find something lobbed in if they push her hard enough on things.
She also likes training the focus to keep sharp it keeps her mind from wandering much like her hobby of model building really and may be prone to turning up in strange places to train and such.
Capabilities and Resources:Raquel is student of her mother's martial art. Which Raquel's quite talent when it comes to martial arts and has always been driven to access in such by her mother, also her own nature. She's progressed to the point she can physically make sue of her Ki Which she has a sizable amount of. She 's also able to control it quite well all things considered. She's able to do what one might expect from Wuxia Martial Arts character She can sense things like killing intent, someones fighting experience and the ever traditional getting an idea of how someone is by how they fight. She's even managed to catch projectiles at time but that takes a bit of heads up to know the attack is coming to have a chance. A burst fire weapon is beyond what she's able to do right now.
The style is applicable on foot and both in her motion controlled machine. It focus on rapid movement,s striking for weak points, joints, things like camera on mechs, or other weak points in either a mecha or a human form. She's has learned how to channel her Ki into actual viable energy attack normally charging her punches and kicks, while adding damage and some measure of projection as she strikes. She's also able to manage projectiles with some effort, and generally has a lean towards the element of fire. She's also very durable perhaps by inhuman standards but she's not immortal she just takes more punishment than a normal person would have. She's a hard lady to put down but she can be and she's still learning if one can get the drop on her? Trained soldiers are still a threat to her after all but she's dangerous in a on foot fight just about as she is in her mecha
She's also to her mother's surprise developed a move she calls the Fire Dance which involved pillar of flames exploding about her body and a rapid attack ks with launch bursts of flame with each hit. It needs work still but it shows promise.
Type:Combatant
Unit Name: Amazon
Unit Description: The Amazon is a Huckebein that has been customized with a Tesla Drive system and more importantly two experimental systems one is a motion control system letting the pilot perform manoeuvres and the machine to mimic them the second one is a Ki amp system which allows a person with sufficient power to make use of their own Ki in actual attacks and manoeuvres. It comes standard with head vulcans, and two heavy duty arm shields as well as the ability o make use of any hand held weapon pod a Gespenst or a Huckebein could make use of normally. It's fast, responsive and decently armour but the Ki system can put a strain on the pilot's own healthy if rapidly over used.

Larissa Manora - Raquel's mother while not an active pilot character, she is however a skilled on foot fighter and the person who has been training her in her marital arts. She's a strange woman sometimes who misses certain social and cultural cues she's also quite blunt. However she does see to care about Raquel and is always there supporting her daughter in getting stronger. She's also quite dangerous in an on foot fight with a better mastery of Raquel's style of martial arts. However she will only react should she be attacked or somehow is involved in someone's training.

Sample post:
It was one of those mornings Raquel had found herself actually dumped out of her bed by her mother. Dragged to the shower and tossed in, to the icy clutches of the water. She'd woken up darn quick and swore she'd not try to sleep in again with her mother knowing about. She busied herself drying off, getting dressed and making for the kitchen of their small home.
"All right I'm awake mom! Geeze seriously throwing me into the shower?!"
"You slept in, you brought it upon your self! Now get your food before it gets cold."
Raquel made a face when her mother wasn't looking as she went to scoop up her breakfasts, as normal there was perhaps a bit more meat than was healthy but it always been that way with her mom. She half wondered if she ever wandered off to hunt. She'd not be shocked if her mother did.
She scarfed down her meal rapidly knowing she was running late to get to the mecha testing range.
"This is worse than school."
"You get paid for it and more importantly you get to train your self more. I hear they are bringing in some combat veterans from the Divine war to help with the testing. I expect to hear about your victory when you get home."
Raquel looked for a moment a bit of bacon hanging there in her mouth as she registered the fact actual experienced soldiers would be what she'd be facing today. She then inhaled the bacon and had a very large grin on her face.
"So something more worth my time than some SIM AI?! Finally! Someone worth my time!"
She bolted up from the table and made for the door only stopping to get her keys and wallet on the way out. She called back over her shoulder.
"Fine you will hear how I crushed them under foot when I get home!"
"Good I expect nothing less of you daughter."
"I know, I know. Fight to live, I'll see you when I get back to night."
With that Raquel ran out the door and made for the street where her motorcycle would be waiting and then it would be a fairly quick drive to the testing field she couldn't wait to get to pilot the Amazon again. She really did feel about as alive as she did when she trained with her mother.
Larissa watched her daughter depart from a window smirking, seemingly pleased with her self. That the world had not dragged her daughter down, and that did make her happy to see her always pressing to get stronger.
