The comment character limit on dreamwidth is 16,000 characters so apps no longer need to be split into multiple comments; however this is at players' discretion.

A reminder for those waiting to hear back, please don't be worried if we skip yours while going through them. It only means we needed a little more time to research!

Personality: Elena is one of the more interesting Turks as far as personality goes; she has two pretty distinct ones between her on-the-job one and her off-the-clock type.
While on the clock she tries to be overly serious about everything, trying to appear as professional as possible to keep the name of Shinra and the Turks in mind and make them proud. This leads to her being overly concerned with rules and becoming agitated with her more laid-back co-workers and trying to show them up by being the "perfect" Turk. Which, well, doesn’t work as she’s still very much a rookie and her mouth gets the better of her to where she says the wrong thing, ticks off the enemy, or gives away whatever plan or mission they were on at the time. It also does not help that she’s very detailed oriented to a point of being almost anal about it, having to have her reports absolutely perfect and her suit in correct order. Being a Turk she also would risk her own life to get the job done, but to a bigger extent would sacrifice herself to protect her fellow Turks. A Turk always comes before the mission or before any of the executives as the Turks can survive without the company but they cannot survive without each other.
Her off the job personality is a lot more laid-back than her on the job one, typically more inclined to just let things happen and not be as controlling over the situation. She also is more likely to get herself into trouble or try things that would probably make people think she was crazy and a lot younger than she looks. This is the time where she’s more likely to be game for anything and actually engage in something that would be forbidden while in uniform or on the clock. She’s very much still a young adult and acts it, being a bit mouthy and getting herself into quite a bit of trouble for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
The common factors between the two personalities is the fact that she really tries to keep up her appearances as much as possible, to make sure that people know she is different from her older sister who was also a Turk at one time. She also has a tendency to be a bit of a romantic from time-to-time, her eyes set on someone around her in particular even though it’s likely to never happen. However, it doesn’t stop her from getting involved with someone that catches her attention, knows just what to say, and just what to do to get under her skin. It makes her a bit impulsive even while trying to remain calm and collected, a measurement of her youth and young age if ever there was one.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths-wise she’s got a few, mainly her most obvious one is that she’s basically an assassin for hire type of character thorough the Turks. This makes her efficient at her job and shows that she can use stealth when necessary and is the type to not take anyone’s crap when it comes down to it. She has a professional air about her (Which she didn’t really have previously, but she’s grown into her position) that she uses to her advantage for the job.
Being a Turk she’s proficient in her weaponry, particularly an ace shot with firearms, in particular a basic type of pistol. This also means she’s an eagle-eye of a shot with or without said weaponry. Due to her past of being in a military academy, she’s highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat, having been at the top of her class while in said academy.
Weakness-wise she tends to be a bit of a scatter brain, sometimes giving away information she really shouldn’t, even if it messes up a job. She also tends to be a bit OCD while on the job, particularly when it comes to the paperwork around all of it, getting annoyed with the lax attitude Reno and Rude seem to take to the job. Or that they’re so laidback while off the clock, even when their enemies are right there.

Samples
First Person Sample: [The video fumbles around a bit until Elena manages to figure it out, smiling a bit at it despite herself. Her Mienfoo rests happily in her lap in the shade of the tree they’ve found, seeming quite content to remain where she is.]
You know, I normally wouldn’t complain about all of this stuff. But I have to ask, uh, what’d they do with my stuff? Because I know I had my cell phone and pistol on me but now they’re sort of... just gone. And my supposed “mother” acts like she doesn’t have a clue and just shoved this backpack thing at me.
And what’s this thing in my lap? I mean, it’s cute, sure, but I don’t really have the time to deal with some weird little creature following me around…
Third Person Sample: Well, that was certainly the weirdest way to end up in a new place. Elena wasn’t exactly unused to ending up in unknown places by herself, though usually she still had all of her things on her. Or at least the clothing she knew she had before all was said and done. A frown crossed her lips in thought as she found a nice tree to take the cover of shade under. The backpack that had been shoved at her by this woman claiming to be her “mother” was resting off one of her shoulders, not in the most secured of locations.
Now, the strangest thing thus far was no matter how much she asked that odd person hadn’t a single idea what she was talking about when she mentioned her suit, her pistol, or heaven forbid her cell phone. Cell phone… Well, shit, so much for contacting anyone she knew to give a report on her location, not that she knew where she was to begin with.
A low groan escaped her as she flopped back against the tree trunk, ignoring the sharp bit of pain that ran up her spine from being so careless. The red and white ball in her lap she took a moment to fiddle with, trying to figure out exactly what this thing was. It wasn’t like anything she’d seen before, but judging by the make, it had to open. Maybe that little button...
Oh. Well. With a flash of bright light she started, almost jumping out of her skin as a creature formed in front of her. A tiny little creature which seemed content to merely watch her and make soft little noises to try and comfort her. It didn’t seem hostile, which was a plus. Settling down slowly she reached a hand out to the strange creature, patting it’s head which enticed the tiny thing to plop herself down in Elena’s lap quite gracefully for what it looked like.
... She could get used to this, if they were all as cute as this one was.
