<strong>Name</strong>: Rae Silva<br/><strong>Age</strong>: 19<br/><strong>Fighting style</strong>: MMA (primarily Karate and gymnastic moves)<br/><strong>Description: Physique</strong>:     A girl of average height, flowing hair, and long slender features, her charming figure often masks her true nature. She is as aggressive as she is graceful, as defiant as she is lovely. Her lean, toned muscles are capable of extreme flexibility and speed. But watch out! Her power might surprise an unwary opponent!<br/><br/><strong>Description: Fighting costume</strong>:     None. She fights in her street clothes - typically grey cargo pants and small blue t-shirt. Although if the fight is expected, she usually takes caution to secure her wrists with black wraps and wears fingerless leather biking gloves.<br/><br/><strong>Character background</strong>:<br/>Rachel (Rae for short) Silva grew up in a poor, violent urban neighborhood as the daughter of a former professional mixed martial artist. She never knew her mother; only her cold, hard father and the physically threatening neighborhood residents. Raised in such an atmosphere, it is unsurprising that the she grew up more rough-and-tough then the other girls (and the guys too!). Trained primarily by her dad, she personalized his MMA fighting style to suit her own natural grace, speed, fluidity, and acrobatic abilities (she had an affinity for gymnastics from a young age). The lifelong training was harsh, so she is no stranger to pain or injury. She may be a girl, but she's a fighter through and through.<br/><br/>As a young adult, she makes her living by beating people up (on the street and in the ring) for money to support herself and her aging dad as well as for the feeling of dominance it brings her. While she definitely has the knowledge and skill to kill if necessary, she has yet to do so, although some of her less fortunate opponents have come close.<br/><br/>Photo: (http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j284/chadni98/anime%20girls/punkgirl.jpg)<br/>
