A sweet girl whose meek demeanour is unsuitable for her life of crime.

Personality

Limbo is a typically soft-spoken and well-meaning individual. She has a gentle demeanour but chaotic sense of humour, often drawing amusement from internet memes and what is considered 'Gen Z' humour—typically abstract, nonsensical, random, borderline Dadaistic. Humour is one of her main coping mechanisms, and often when put under large amounts of stress, she tries to twist the situation into some form of comedy. Self-deprecation is another type of humour she uses somewhat commonly, used when the situation itself isn't easy to find comedy from.
She is incredibly modest and polite, sometimes to a fault. Partially a product of her upbringing and partially a result of her anxiety, she tends to address people with utmost respect—using, for example, the honorific 'sama' for nearly everyone, though this is also partially due to a joke—and often reacts with awkward humbleness when complimented. She is overly apologetic, apologising for just about anything, be the wrongdoing minor or major, real or perceived, or not her fault at all. This seems to simply be a result of her anxiety and RSD. She also has a tendency to claim she's fine unless pressed further, and often worries about burdening people. It can take a bit of convincing for her to believe she's not being a burden by bringing up when she's hurting or struggling.
She generally likes her privacy and keeps to herself, this being what the point of the mask is. She wears two different masks on a regular basis to keep her "work" and "personal life" separate. On the matter of gang business, she'd already had an incident where an enemy gang member managed to unmask her, revealing her identity to the enemy. Although the enemy now knows her identity whether she wears the mask or not, when asked why she still wears it, she explains that the mask isn't to keep her identity from the enemy, it's to keep her identity from the public as she doesn't want to be associated with the Metro Poppers any more than she has to.
Though capable of great violence and having enacted it on multiple occasions, she greatly dislikes it as well as being hurt, only inflicting harm onto others in retaliation and under extreme distress. Despite being part of a violent criminal gang, she is on the more peaceful edge of the spectrum. She seems to struggle with confidence and assertion, resulting in her often being seen as a pushover and treated badly, sometimes even abusively so. She has been used, in dysfunctional group dynamics, as the lightning rod, to the point that she's used to such things. As she's settled into the position, putting her foot down isn't an easy task, and being assertive is something she is still learning.
Generally, she has an abstinent inclination and does her best to avoid substances such as hard drugs, but still drinks recreationally in disregard to her age. Despite her shy nature and good heart, she's still inclined to minor crime—her affiliation with a gang notwithstanding—and could also be considered almost anti-establishment, being more vocal about such under her musical persona. She is very accepting and is understanding of others' identities, experiences and struggles, and advocates for equal rights despite her own lack of self-respect and self-advocacy. She may be easily bothered by personal attacks against her own identity or being, such as being called racist or homophobic slurs, or being generally discriminated against.
Once she gets attached to someone, she tends to "cling" to them, being intensely loyal and acting as a ride-and-die. She is not quick to anger, but will anger if her friends are threatened or insulted. Though she can very well fight if needed, and could stand up for herself, her threshold for how much mistreatment she will take before she feels a need to retaliate is much higher than what it should be. She tends to get very nervous and is a people-pleaser; she hates being pressured into doing things that make her uncomfortable, but doesn't want to upset anyone or cause any trouble in fear of being abandoned.
She is sometimes prone to panic attacks, typically taking the form of shaking fits, crying, hyperventilating, and trying to hide away.

Skillset

• Bilingualism: Limbo is a coordinated bilingual, having learnt both of her languages at the same time since birth.
• Her languages are Japanese and English, but she knows a few words in Spanish and French.
• She can also use both American and Japanese sign language.
• Coordinate Fluency: Limbo has developed the capability to interpret coordinates spatially, complimenting Cloud Nine's abilities. As long as she knows her own coordinates, she will know, generally, where any other coordinate is relative to herself.
• Skateboarding: Limbo knows how to skateboard and is very good at it.
• Self-Defence Capabilities: Limbo has the capabilities of improvised self-defence to protect herself when under attack in hand-to-hand combat, but has no formal training in it and has more difficulty in weapon-based contexts.
• Artistic Skills:
• Painting: Limbo has extensive experience in painting techniques, so she is technique-wise incredibly good at painting.
• Music: Thanks to support from her parents when she was young, she got musical coaching from an early age, meaning she has a lot of experience playing music.
• She is a good singer as well, and she can rap.
• Her brother is a musician, and gives her advice.
• She has a musical persona online, and works semi-professionally as an indie musician.
• Specific Extensive Knowledge: It's airplanes. Were you expecting anything different? She knows a lot about airplanes and jet planes and can and will talk about them for hours.
• Though she will also talk about music for an hour or two if you let her.
• Or whatever her current hyperfixation is.
• She writes biweekly movie essays and posts them on Twitter, has a giant lore document on Google Docs about Vocaloid, and has an obsession with Air Bud.
• Gang Speak Fluency: Limbo has an extensive knowledge of terms used in gangs—specifically her gang—as 'codespeak' for secrecy purposes. Please note the difference from Mafia Speak, which is a different dialect altogether (think the divide between Spanish and Italian: they're similar, but also very different).
