Background/Description: For most of her life, Lily was raised solely by her mother, who taught her from an early age that she had to fend for herself. Since her mother rarely had time for her, Lily essentially raised herself, learning how to function in isolation. This was how her passion for drawing and general creativity was born; she began reading books and listening to podcasts on the subject until she eventually started creating her own tutorials, posting them online as short-form content. The internet, however, followed its own rules, giving Lily a harsh reality check. Cruel comments, a lack of constructive criticism, and people who simply wanted to ruin someone’s day sent her into a spiral where every negative remark devastated her, yet simultaneously motivated her to create something even better. She dedicated herself fully to her craft and began to amass a large following. Lily never showed her face in her videos; only her voice and hands hinted at her identity. To celebrate reaching 50,000 followers, she decided to host a livestream where she revealed her face for the first time. Everything seemed perfect - high engagement and a flood of positive messages. Unfortunately, that reach extended to the wrong places. One day, someone recognized her on the street and asked for a photo. What seemed like an innocent fan interaction turned into a personal nightmare. When Lily declined the fan's offers for a coffee date, he exploded with aggression. It could have ended in much more than just a few bruises if it weren't for a passerby who stepped in to stop the violent fan. Now, her fear of appearing in public has grown to the point where she very rarely leaves the house; she has started ordering drawing supplies online more often, and she only appears in public as a last resort out of fear that she will be harmed again. She hasn't stopped creating content, but her trust in other people has definitely been shattered. One night, while doom-scrolling through social media to avoid the isolation of her own thoughts, an advertisement for new local martial arts center caught her eye. At first, she wanted to scroll past it, but a flash of a face in the promotional video caused her to freeze and look closely. It was the woman from the street - the one who had stepped between her and her attacker some time ago. Her name in the was Okita, a dragon girl with glare of a fighter. Feel sudden surge of inspiration by seeing strength in Okita's eyes, she decided not to live in fear anymore, and she certainly didn't want to rely on others to save her again. She clicked the link and signed up for her first trial lesson, taking the first step into new world of martial arts. First lesson ended up with her signing up for a full programme, learning how to bolster her body and mind under watchful mentorship of Okita.

Backstory: Okita was always an energetic child. She liked to run around, talk fast and loud, and was just all around very bold. However, when she got to school, she was bullied and made fun of for being ‘too excitable’ and being too ‘much’. Okita started to shrink herself, and make herself small, becoming quieter, less energetic. At home, Okita’s parents were very soft and gentle people, and would try to soothe her with calm words and reassuring her that she was enough, but that’s not what Okita needed. Okita was someone who needed tough love. So, she continued to shrink herself until one day at school, it became too much and, feeling cornered as her feelings boiled over, she punched someone, knocking them out. Her life quickly spiraled, and she started to skip class more, and get involved with gangs. For the first few years of her adult life, she worked fully for the gangs as a violent enforcer, being extremely successful thanks to her natural fighting ability which she continued to hone through her work. One day, Okita witnessed someone die in a shoot out, and chose to quit her life of crime then and there. Okita went on to open a small Muay Thai gym, finding decent success. Okita has recently taken in a new student, a young dragonfly girl named Lily. Okita encountered Lily, saving her from being assaulted. Later, Lily saw an ad for Okita’s gym and signed up.

Personality: Okita has a heavy resting bitch face, but despite this is very chill to talk to when approached, speaking to everyone casually. Okita lives on a very tough schedule, waking up at 4 am to do road work, not because she needs to or because it’s better, but because she believes there is value in doing hard things. Okita treats her students with passion and care, but trains them hard. She would never ask anything of another she wouldn’t ask of herself. Speech: Okita has a very gruff and grumpy way of speaking, often being described as a ‘hard ass’.
