TRE: Describe your character PLUM.
AISH: PLUM is an agile fighter that has capability of using many weapons. Not only that, she even made her own weapon with very sophisticated technology.
Normally, Plum is a gentle women and rather avoiding any battles with anything. But, once she or someone she loved get disturbed, She'll fight them without any mercy. (it's a rather common character for a hero/superhero. But i just like something like this)
