General Appearance: Shinju Kobayashi is a short fifteen year-old whos looks are only just beginning to catch up with her age. She has lightly colored, though not what one would call pale, skin. Her hair is a deep blue, kind of like her eyes, almost always worn in a high ponytail. She's not buff by any means, though she is somewhat skinny and in rather good physical shape from all of her running around. Shinju often wears a superhero-like uniform of sorts, with a zipped down short-sleeved jumpsuit and a red scarf, alongside the orange goggles that never leave her sight. She's almost always grinning, unless of course she's competing or fighting. She has a preference for boots.

Personality:

Confident - Shinju is incredibly confident in her own abilities, as well as others she chooses to support. She has a belief that everything will work out for the best, and as a result she's neither a cautious person, nor prone to overplanning things.

Strong-Willed - Shinju is hard-headed, and doesn't know when to give up on anything. Ever. Whether it's a fight, an argument, or some nonsense contest she's made up on the spot, she won't stop until she has no other choice.

Not Exactly A Genius - Shinju has a tendency to be  a little bit slow occasionally. She's no idiot, but she is rather dense sometimes. To that end she can look a bit foolish to some people, or at least not understand why other people are giving her funny looks.

Somewhat Clumsy - Despite her confidence, Shinju has a tendency to be clumsy at inopportune times, tripping or running into something she should have been looking out for. Her wind magic helps her to look much more graceful than she naturally is, and as a result she would look like a complete clutz to those who saw her if she were unable to use her powers.

Thinks Out Loud - Shinju tends to talk aloud to herself, as if she doesn't realize people can hear her, and tends to get angry that people are eavesdropping if they bring it up, if only for a moment.

Shameless - Shinju also has very little shame, as evidenced by the way she normally dresses. She simply doesn't understand why people care so much if one of those rare awkward moments come up.

Driven - The young wind mage desires to become strong - stronger than anyone else at Fairy Tail, if she can. The girl works hard every day to grow in physical, magical, and to a lesser extent mental, strength and doesn’t take to relaxing very well. In fact, she has a tendency to be rather lost when she’s left with nothing to work towards, even temporarily.

Outgoing - Shinju is always one to talk a person’s ears off, so to speak. Rarely at a loss for words, she will often ramble on even if the other person shows very little desire to respond. She shares information whether the person is actually that interested or not, though if they seem interested she is likely to talk that much more.


Likes:
Apples - Shinju loves apples. To her, they're better than any cake, and she will absolutely flip if she gets her hands on one.

Competition - Shinju is very competitive, and is thrilled at the chance to test her skills.

Goggles - Shinju adores goggles. She's always wearing her own, and tends to gawk at others she finds.

Dislikes:
Dogs - Shinju was bitten by a dog at a young age, and hasn't gotten along with them ever since.

Dresses - Despite a few girly tendencies, Shinju hates girly clothing like dresses. She's never been one for frills and lace.

Overthinking things - Shinju hates taking the time to come up with proper plans and the like. She doesn't have a lot of patience.

Motivations:
Adventure! - Shinju lives for adventure, and it's a big part of who she is. Her magic is a way to experience a proper adventure, and she wouldn't trade anything for the opportunity to do so. She has a sense of wanderlust that makes her antsy to travel, even if it's not very far. Of course, she might consider a trip to the market an adventure if she had the right people along....

Family - Shinju's family were all powerful Wizards, or so she's heard. She wants to be just like them, even though she's never met them, and that means training and becoming the strongest Wizard she can!

Money - Young Shinju has to support herself, so she can be a bit greedy at times. Fortunately, wizards can make some good money, so she's confident she'll be just fine if she tries hard, which she always does.

Fears:
Loss - Shinju fears losing her friends and guildmates, because they're the closest thing she has to family. She is extremely protective of people as a result.

Letting people down - Shinju abhors failure, especially when it disappoints other people. Her fear of making someone sad because she isn't strong enough can tear at her if she ends up failing, though up until then her stubbornness usually doesn't let her see that she might.

Deep water - Shinju isn't a very good swimmer, and doesn't want near deep water as a result.

History:

[Guild & Magic]
Guild: Fairy Tail
Guild Tattoo: dark blue, On her left side.

Magic: Wind Magic
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Shinju's brand of wind magic is aggressive and fast. it focuses on striking quickly, leaving little thought to defensive powers. She can manipulate the air around her, focusing it to be razor sharp, or into a ball, or to enhance her speed greatly. Potentially, she can also change the density of air around her as well. Her movements are fluid, gathering and causing the air to flow precisely how she wants it to. Most of the time.
Strengths: The strengths of Shinju's magic are actually relatively straightforward. As long as there's air, there's the potential to focus it into any form she wants to. She can use it as a weapon, sharpen it, or use it like a battering ram. She can create violent windstorms, and move faster than most Wizards. Eventually, she could fly, or levitate others, or do any manner of air manipulation. With her increased speed comes the ability to hit harder as a result, so by no means is she weak.
Weaknesses: Shinju's wind magic doesn't focus much on defense, leaving her more open to attacks unless she drops some of her offense in favor of defense, which she is loathe to do. It also isn't particularly effective against Earth or Metal magic, since they are rather resistant to all wind magic. Shinju's magic also isn't very good for holding back, and she almost always fights with her full power, making it bad to use on weaker opponents she doesn't wish to harm. Also, in addition to the usual side effects of airlessness, if there is no air, she can't perform most of her magic, even if she could somehow concentrate hard enough to do so.
