Attire: Fate's appearance has to do with her shrine maiden background. Her outfit is similar to those of Buddhist shrine maidens only more elaborate. She wears a pair of white free flowing pants that reaches down to her ankles and She wears a shirt similar to the pants' design. Over those two pieces of attire, she wears a red dress with a orange design along the hem. Around her abdomen she wear a small topless apron like skirt that is tiger-patterned to represent her nickname of Gentle Tiger. She wears black accessories such was a black ribbon bow tie on her chest and black ballet flats. She also wears a red half lotus design on her head. [break]
Abnormalities: Since Fate was born from an unlikely pairing of a beastfolk and a kuja, Fate did inherit some of the beastfolk with her kuja genes. Her eyes are silted as you would normally see in cat-like creatures. She also has fang-like teeth. These are more for appearance rather than defense unlike most beast folks are.

Fate's story began when her mother, Kali, was exiled from Amazon Lily due to being to curious about the world outside of Amazon Lily since she was not one of the one that was allowed to go out as they please. She often ventured out to meet other races and species and especially went out to see males. Once the Kuja tribe found out, she was exiled and was thrown out into the Calm Belt. It was there where she met the man that would be Fate's father. A beastfolk who was a marine at the time saved Kali. Howl had saved Kali from the Calm Belt and brought her to North Blue. During the time they spent together, they were slowly falling in love and once Kali was dropped off at the peaceful Micqueot. He left her to attend to his marine duties. Little did they know that she was pregnant with a child.

Shortly after that, Howl had retired due to an injury received in a battle. He returned back to North Blue and married Kali after discovering she was pregnant with their firstborn. Kali found life within a shrine and served in it along with being a hostess at a inn connected to the shrine. Once Fate was born, she was instantly taught to be a shrine maiden. As she grew up, they found her to be rather... well very clumsy. So, Kali decided to teach her the Kuja heritage, the hakis. Fate trained under her mother's influence. It seemed to help partly. Whenever she was in training, she did it perfectly but outside of training or anything not too serious. She was still clumsy as ever. She seemed to have inherited Kali's over-curiousity. She would go out on adventures and explore and end up coming home with many bruises and wounds all over her body and sniffling and she'd still go out exploring the next day despite the pain she went through yesterday. She was so curious as to eat a strange fruit.

That strange fruit turned out to be Goro Goro no Mi. Fate's parents discovered she had eaten a devil fruit when she fell into saltwater lake and nearly drowned only to be saved by her father. Once it was confirmed that she had a devil fruit inside of her but no one knew which kind she had. Her parents talked about sending her off to the Marines to discover what kind she had and to keep that under control before some person used her to their advantage. Seeing that her father was an ex-marine and Fate had often looked up to him for being so strong. She wanted to be like him. So she told her parents that she does wish to be a strong soldier. Fate was enrolled into the Marines at the age of eight. Where she was placed with a captain who was familiar with devil fruits. She started off as a cabin girl and occasionally did training sessions with the captain until her devil fruit was discovered. After about two years of clumsy-ness and almost nearly dying from accidentally falling over the ledge of the ship. Her ship was attacked by notorious pirates. It was in that moment where everyone discovered what fruit she had.

It turned out to be the lightning logia. She had nearly struck the pirates along with few marines to a fried crispy chicken and she fainted afterward. She soon woke up on a island where the recruits were training to be official marines. Fate was told that she had the potential to be a strong woman and a vital asset to the marines. Fate was happy to find out that she was useful at last. She started out as a seaman for one of the Vice Admiral at the time so someone strong could keep an eye on her new growing logia powers. She soon honed the devil fruit and climbed the first few ranking fairly quickly. Already becoming a captain in her teens and she soon became good friends with few admirals and vice admirals due to her gentle and easy-going nature. She could be the most nicest person on the planet and also be the most fearsome person ever encountered. Because of that, she quickly earned the nickname of Gentle Tiger. In her twenties, she finally got into the admiral rankings and was recently just promoted to a Vice Admiral. Still to this day, most people could not believe the rumors of the nicest gentle woman becoming the most fearsome tiger on a battlefield after meeting her. She is also still made fun of for her size and her child-like appearance even though she is much older than she looks.

• ★ Paradise - Paradise is the name of Fate's armor of gold that she wears underneath her normal attire. This is considered her true marine uniform. The armor covers nearly all of Fate, from the neck down to her ten itty bitty toes. Underneath her clothings, some parts are withdrawn within the armor and won't reveal itself until after she takes off her normal attire and surrounds herself in lightning. The things that will reveal is the neck piece and the shoulders extending out from the armor. The armor is similar to a gladiator style clothing only more sturdy and made up of gold. The armor is fitted quite precisely to her body shape. The gold covers her torso and her legs along with a gladiator styled skirt on her waist. Also when she pulls at her black ribbon on her normal attire, which releases the clothing to the floor to reveal her gold armor underneath along with a white cape blue interior, signifying her as a true Vice Admiral rank as said on the cape. Usually the cape is folded into the back storage of her gold armor when wearing normal clothes. PICTURE REFERENCE

• ▶ Lotus Crown - The half lotus decoration that she wears on her head is a special piece of her attire. It was given to her from her mother. It is said to have very powerful healing properties that could match up to the legend of a Phoenix's tear. It can only be used once per thread and it must be a person she knows well enough. She would take a petal from her head ornament and brew it into a tea and give to the user that is potentially dying or in dire circumstances in terms of physical health to drink. As soon a petal is plucked from her head, another will start to grow it in its place, which takes about 2 to 3 weeks.
  
• ▶ [One saved ability slot to add in later in the future]

[attr="class","racial"][break]

• ▷ Two Hakis (Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku) - As part of the Kuja heritage, Fate has learned how to use the two hakis, one to sense someone otherwise known as the "sixth sense" and one to protect oneself from attacks or make the attacks potentially stronger.
  
• ▷ Tigress Senses - Due to her father being a beastfolk, she did inherit some slight tiger-like traits such as night vision which is considered 6 times better than a human's night vision. She also has gained the strength of tiger's muscles, allowing her to jump to great heights and break things without any help of other abilities and fruit.
