 » About:
Short Bio: Kayla is the single daughter of Eugeo and Eveline D'Sole, her mother is Japanese and her father originally from Italy, but he lived in Japan most of his life. He came to Japan when he was young during a fencing tournament, upon seeing the beauty of the Japanese swordsmanship, he decided to move there and adopt the local style. He meet his wife during such a tournament and they fell in love at the first sight.
Shortly after Kayla was born, when she was able to wield a wooden sword, her father started training her the basics of swordsmanship, after a few years of basic training Kayla was faced with a choice, train in the art of fencing or Kenjutsu, she enjoyed both but had a natural affinity towards fencing, so she decided to follow in her father's steps.
With time she started attending tournaments. At the first one she ranked very low, but after some time and even harder training she started winning a few and ranked higher in others. In time she started making a living out of it.
She loved to play video games that involved swordplay in her spare time between training sessions. The VR MMORPG "Sword Art Online" was on her 'MUST PLAY AT LAUNCH' list.

 » Personality: Kayla Ariel D'Sole, her name can be interpreted as "Crowned Lion by the Sun Godâ€, because of that and the fact that she has a ferocious fighting style, she would earn the nickname "Crowned Lion".
She is very proud of her sword skill (in-game and in real life), a little shy, likes to train, to read, and enjoys walking around aimlessly, she doesn't come from a rich family, but a modest one, she could be quite a straightforward person, often angering people as a result.
Because of her training she had minimum human contact, and that sometimes bothered her, but not too much. She was used to chatting in-game with others, but it would prove more difficult to do that in VR than the classical type-in chat.
When she heard about a VRMMO named "Sword Art Online", she wanted to see if her real-life sword skills would reflect in the game, but she found out, after a few hours of gameplay, that she couldn't log out of the game, and must clear the game to return to real life.
Now she tries to emulate her real-life sword style into the game, which is easier said than done, but she has found sword skills in the system, belonging to the rapier weapon, that resembled her real-life training to some degree.
Now she aspires to become a "Clearer", to this purpose she wants to be spent almost all her time fighting, aiming to reach the "Front Lines", the last floors available and help clear the game.

» Virtues:

Spoiler

Calmness - Due to her somehow Spartan-like training she develop this trait. So she does not panic in apparently overwhelming/impossible situations. But tries to find a way out, calmly analyzing her surroundings. She usually engages in combat against other players as a last option.

Sincerity - This is the most characteristic virtue of hers, not showing restraint, Ariel will always state her thought when asked. With no remorse, she will offer her thoughts about any subject she is asked, sometimes randomly intervening on other peoples discussions. This trait of hers is doubled as a flaw because she has a difficult time restraining herself.

'Warrior's Spirit' - Because of her lifestyle, Ariel had learned from her father "The Bushido Code" from a young age, While she still lacks in the areas of "Benevolence, Modesty, Mercy and Self-Control", she has a native affinity towards "Courage, Sincerity and Honor". As a result her fighting style is quite ferocious, aiming for the most damage while having the minimum protection. She is not afraid to take risks.

Loyal - While she lacks in other departments Ariel will always abide by her honor code that she developed since infancy. Maybe as a result of maybe the stories told by her father about ancient Japanese and European heroes, she tries to emulate their standards and their set of values.

» Flaws:

Spoiler

Overconfident - Due to her lifestyle and winning in the fencing tournament she became excessively confident in her skills. She doesn't respond well to critics, and will not argue much over a subject she has firsthand experience with, assuming she is right from the beginning.

Over placement - She is often judging her performance compared to another. Believing that her training makes her superior to most of the players, this combined with her sincerity prove to be a serious flaw of her character, one that she tries to cover with dismissing such statements as a bad joke.

Sincerity - She expresses her sincere opinion without restrain or giving thought of the consequences. Often angering people who don't know her, mistaking her sincerity with rudeness. So making friends that really know her has been a problem for her, even in real life.

Impulsive - as a result of her training she developed reflexes that kick in before she could get a better understanding of what's happening. This also applies in case of extreme intensity of emotions or convictions. She is inclined to react violently when people laugh over her or her swordsmanship. Insulting her training equals insulting her father and that could push her into a blind rage.

Ailurophobia - is a type of specific phobia: the persistent, irrational fear of cats. She does not know from where this has started but she hates felines and she tries to avoid them in any circumstances. In the extreme case that she has no other choice but to fight one(in-game) that fear would transform into hatred and she would attack it without restraint, Lions being the only exception to the rule...and maybe tigers.

Story so Far:

Spoiler

»11:30 AM. The morning training is almost finished, but today her father finds her a little distracted.
When he gets the opportunity he uses the fence training sword to tap her head while saying:
"Okay training is finished for now, I see you mind is in another place, go play that stupid video game already,
and at the evening training I hope to see you more focused, got it?"
Kayla takes of her mask and shows a broad smile while saying:"Okay father!" and dashes towards the changing room.
12:50 AM. After taking a shower Kayla changes in her house clothes and gazes at the NerveGear helmet, then looks at the clock, ten more minutes and the servers for the popular VRMMO game "Sword Art Online" will go online,
she had purchased the game a few days earlier. Then she lays on the bed in a comfortable position,
and says in a soft voice: "Link Start".
She feels her body go numb for a second an could only see the screen lighting up, the NerveGear starts checking its systems gradually showing 4 OK circles that quickly fade. Next she chooses the language, and logs in with her account name <<Ariel - The Crowned Lion>>
"What a cheesy name" she told herself while the game was loading.
After a "Welcome to Sword Art Online" message appears. On the bottom left of her vision, the time showed
12:55, 5 more minutes until the servers go online, she decides to check her avatar again.
She chooses a simple avatar that looked like her,blond hair,athletic figure with a sleeveless top and skirt.
