FINISHED!!!!

I've had this pic half colored for the entire summer and for some weird reason I finally finished it tonight. @_@

There is this AMAZING new anime I got into over the summer called Deadman Wonderland and now I must anxiously wait for season 2 to know what happens next~ I highly recommend it especially if you're into dark animes like Death Note and Hellsing...






NAME: Asami Tira
AKA: Swallow
AGE: 22
PRISON #: 3031
BRANCH OF SIN: "Knight Swallow"
B.O.S. ABILITY: Blood turns into multiple weapons of the creator's choice. Most of the time she either uses dual blades or a whip for offense and a sword and shield for defense. Blood is drawn from the finger claws she uses to slice her upper arms.
STATUS: Deadman
PERSONALITY: She's quiet and keeps to herself most of the time while in a group she's shy. She has a hard time trusting people.
LIKES: Reading, history, having friends, and teas
DISLIKES: Being bullied, her abilities, and "Hummingbird"
LOVE INTEREST: Kiyomasa Senji aka "Crow"
LOST: Her right ear (her hair's longer on the right side of her head to cover her missing ear) and a kidney (loses kidney after being defeated by Woodpecker)
BACK STORY:
Being the only child living with her mother, Tira was always striving to become the best in her class to impress her peers and mother. But her mother was a raging alcoholic and is constantly abusing her physically and verbally saying she was a mistake and worthless. Even her peers think she's trying to be a show off and would often bully her all the way to high school graduation. All Tira ever wanted was to be appreciated and have a friend.

When she went to college on a history scholarship, she was bullied yet again by some classmates who caught her while walking home after class and started beating her nearly to death. Tira finally had enough and unleashed her ability to kill all the students hovering over her. Discovering her powers for the first time, she panicked and ran home to her mother, whom she found had committed suicide by hanging herself in the bedroom.

It was some time after that she was sent to Deadman Wonderland (supposedly for her crime) and confined to the G Ward for her abilities.

AS OF NOW:
Tira spends most of her time in her room reading and sipping on tea as she catches up on all the history books and novels. When Ganta first appears to her, his friendliness makes her wary of him for a long time, not convinced if she should trust him yet. After fighting Ganta in the Bird Cage, he approaches her and says he's sorry that she has to suffer because he didn't really want to fight her. Touched by his compassion, she was happy to call him friend and happy to make a friend.

She actually likes Deadman Wonderland only because she knows she won't get hurt emotionally while inside since she was so used to being bullied most of her life. Though she hates the fights themselves that the Director makes them do, she's still happy just to be away from the outside world. She fell in love with Senji and has been shyly pursuing him... though very slowly doing so. Since provocative clothing embarrasses Senji, Tira finds his blushing adorable and keeps wearing her revealing tops hoping that one day she can finally just tell him how she feels.

When push comes to shove, including the Bird Cage fights, Tira is actually quite the badass. Her historical knowledge of warfare, weapons, and military tactics gives her the upper hand in the fights as well as outside. Because of this the majority of her inmates respect her and see her as a dangerous opponent. Outside the battles in group settings, she's actually shy since she's not use to making friends, though she is happy to say that most of her G Ward inmates are actually her friends; especially with Chaplin who she talks the most too even if Chaplin teases her from time to time about her secret love for Senji.
