				<strong>"Real" Name:</strong> Sara McMillan<br><strong>Screen Name:</strong> Artemis<br><strong>Age:</strong> 20<br><strong>Biography:</strong> Sara is a student from Canada studying at a Japanese university.&nbsp; While not a major otaku, her interest in Japan is partly due to watching anime while growing up.&nbsp; She has several friends at the university she attends, one of whom is responsible for introducing her to Sword Art Online.<br><strong>Personality:</strong> While not a top tier student, Sara is reasonably intelligent.&nbsp; She likes to enjoy herself, but also has a practical side.&nbsp; While she is generally considered rather assertive by Japanese standards, she's still too modest to be comfortable with certain aspects of Japanese culture such as group bathing.<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Sara is about six feet tall with a statuesque build, long blonde hair and blue eyes (in other words, she gets <em>a lot</em> of attention in Japan).&nbsp; She is proud of her impressive bust, but also annoyed by it.&nbsp; She favors a white and blue color scheme.<br><br>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/91/SaraM.png)<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Naked Sara/Artemis (NSFW)</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c3/SaraNude.jpg)</div></div><br><br><strong>Preferred equipment type:</strong> Polearms<br><strong>Play style:</strong> Sara was drawn to SAO because of its highly immersive environment, and does not have much experience with MMORPGs.&nbsp; She favors polearms in combat and likes to use their long reach to keep the enemy at a distance.&nbsp; She tends to be a bit on the cautious side.

				<br><strong>"Real" Name:</strong>&nbsp; Kyugami Hoshino<br><strong>Screen Name:</strong>&nbsp; Kagero (And she is quite aware of the cliche, thank you <em>very</em> much.)<br><strong>Age:</strong>&nbsp; 22<br><strong>Biography:</strong>&nbsp; Hoshino is the daughter of a fairly well off family that is in the Import/Export business, which is a polite facade for some less than legal activities.&nbsp; While she is expected to marry into another family, an arranged marriage that has been in the works for some time, she insisted on a formal and complete education and was allowed to continue her education in the university.&nbsp; The indulgence isn't exactly frowned upon by her fiancee, fortunately; he is enjoying his freedom as well, and they came to an equitable arrangement with one another well outside of either of their family's influence.&nbsp; Her areas of study include fashion design, photography, and the sciences.&nbsp; She is also a bit of an otaku, fascinated by the many anime centered on strong but doomed female characters, a secret she kept from most of her classmates in her younger years.&nbsp; Now Hoshino enjoys shocking her more sophisticated friends with her knowledge of anime and MMORPGs in the university, hobbies that don't match her appearance or scholarly pursuits at all.&nbsp; Hoshino first met Sara outside of class, and thought she would be a wonderful model, both for photography and for some of her more Eurocentric clothing styles.&nbsp; It wasn't long before she developed a close friendship with the Canadian, one which many of her Japanese friends laughingly tease Hoshino about <em>being that way</em>.&nbsp; The fact that she IS <em>that way</em> is her best kept secret.<br><strong>Personality:</strong>&nbsp; Hoshino is enjoying her freedom as much as possible; she has only two more years before she has to get married, and while she doesn't mind her fiancee, the truth is that she hasn't any interest in him or the family businesses.&nbsp; Part of their secret arrangement is her having a child, and she knows that will put an end to most of the possibilities of fun in her life, so she has made&nbsp; point of doing as much as possible, as often as possible.&nbsp; While she is maintaining a good grade average, the fact is she is far more interested in taking her friends - and especially Sara - to cool new places, showing her the bizarre and amazing side of life in the big Japanese city, and indulging in the fantasy of a life with someone other than her husband to be.&nbsp; Someone she can truly love, as she has started to love Sara.&nbsp; The event of Sword Art Online''s grand opening was one more exotic location to take Sara to, and hidden behind the avatar of a pretty shinobi-girl she wouldn't have to worry about anyone judging her if she chose to see if the signals she was getting from Sara were not just her over-eager imagination...<br><strong>Appearance:</strong>&nbsp; Hoshino keeps herself very fit, and genetics has been kind to her.&nbsp; She is a tall, curvy young woman, standing at 5' 8", and having a slightly larger than average bust for the Japanese.&nbsp; She takes pride in her appearance, and keeps her hair long and body fit through yoga and tai chi.&nbsp; Hoshino is something of a clothes-horse, keeping abreast of the latest fashion trends.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>Preferred equipment type:</strong>&nbsp; Kagero prefers very light armors and small hand weapons such as daggers, shuriken and claws but her Sword Skills tend to focus on Martial techniques, or Martial+Short Blade techniques.<br><strong>Play style:</strong>&nbsp; Kagero focuses on quick and close assault, using her speed to get in close and avoid injury.&nbsp; When she is in close, she uses her Short Blade skills to parry and feint before inflicting devastating Martial attacks on her opponents.&nbsp; She does know she has to complete a Quest on the 7th level before she can become truly proficient in the Martial skills.<br><br>(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/735/21289721670_26404f19f8.jpg)(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/744/21289895508_9dc4ffab99.jpg)(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/713/20855003814_b76b25daf3.jpg)(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5770/21451468916_f93f91d719.jpg)<br>

				<strong>"Real" Name:</strong> Suzuka Miyamoto<br><strong>Screen Name:</strong> Deathshadow<br><strong>Age:</strong>16<br><strong>Biography:</strong> She was born in the Miyamoto clan, a clan of swordsmen who can trace their genealogy&nbsp; to the Sengoku age and since then had perfected the kenjutsu arts. Whatsoever, Suzuka was a pretty mediocre in her kenjutsu skills, she suffered a severe case of asthma which caused her a weakness physical condition but also due to spent most of his time playing videogames or reading manga than training. As soon as her grandfather and leader of the clan found it out abandoned all hopes in her as a future swordswoman in favor of his older brother.<br>Although she is thankful that she can skip the rigorous training as the years passed she realized that by the same reason she was increasingly ignored in the clan while her brother got more and more of the responsibilities of an adult.<br>Even in the school, where her interests in manga and videogames have led her schoolmates to consider her as an otaku, she feels constantly out of place.<br>Anyway she has the cure for all the bad things in real world, escaping to the MMO worlds, ironically there she attempts to be the girl she was supposed to be in the real world; a strong, brave warrior leader.<br><strong>Personality:</strong> How could we define her? Always out of place, avoiding sports or activities which demands physical effort, nerdy attitude, well pretty much she is an otaku with a encyclopedical knowledge of manga and anime, an interest she don’t lose any chance to share in real world, even when the others have no interest in listen to her, she is kind of the who will never say a word during a conversation unless someone mocks on her favorite fandom ship. <br>On the other hand, she is very intelligent, not precisely an A grade student, but when is about game strategies she has a remarkable talents, developed from her days of card dueling, and it led her to be a bit arrogant and a sore loser when is about playing. To resume, she is a nerd, an otaku, a gamer and a mojyo; she doesn’t care about hide it nor to pay the social cost. <br><strong>Appearance:</strong> As said before her asthma had made of her a weak and slim girl, not only bad to be a kenjutsu practitioner but even for a regular physical education class, well probably the asthma is not responsible, entirely, but mostly her lack of interest in physical activities. She neither has developed much height, is petite and also flat, certainly God didn’t want her to have good genetics. Besides so her eye bags and disheveled hair gave her a messy look.<br><strong>Preferred equipment type:</strong> Long katana blade<br><strong>Play style:</strong> Her long katana is, not much but still, heavier than the regular sword so she is rather a slow warrior but powerful and skilled, then we could say her strengths are in strength and resistance rather than speed or maneuverability, although as she does not use a shield she needs to be in the offensive. In previous sword fighting games she was called “the Japanese wall” a reference to the Chinese Wall but also to her determination and stubbornness to hold her ground.<br><br>Real World<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5weVYV0CsTE/UiteQxkdkZI/AAAAAAAABQI/-Y9LpzXmJMk/s1600/20130605-watamote04.png)<br><br>(http://ddn.i.ntere.st/p/8093439/image)</div></div><br>SAO<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af73/jjpp753/swordswoman_yochana__rough_sketch__by_orangey12-d5mhgg4_zpsixfl36us.jpg)</div></div>
