Name: Cherish Baum
Alias: Cherry
AKAs: None
Physical Description
Hair: Deep cherry red, kept mostly long except for a shaved close section on one side. She sometimes sweeps her hair over so it can be seen, or lets her hair fall naturally and you might not be able to tell
Eyes: Green
Ethnicity: White American
Age: 24
Build: Cherry has a tightly toned athletic physique from years of gymnastics, but a naturally curvy build with wide hips and ample chest.
Uniform: None
Personal Style: Cherry favours a punk-rock/grunge style, in a more-often-than-not seductive, sultry, promiscuous or shameless fashion.
Psychological Description
Personality: Cherry Baum is what you'd probably expect a typical Pyhrros demon, new to the mortal realm, to be like. Free-spirited, unhindered and uninhibited, fun-loving and somewhat amoral. She loves life, and living, always wanting to experience new things and quick to an opinion on them one way or another. She rarely suffers fools, but often entertains herself with them. She is by no means cruel or apathetic to the point she is blind to others suffering, but it doesn't always concern her to deeply. She is quick to be a friend, but often only when and for as long as it suits her. She can be hot-headed, reckless and over-confident/arrogant. Sometimes, her recklessness and desire to try new things can come of as immaturity and naivety, but Cherry is in fact shrewdly intelligent.
Relationships: Cherry currently has no significant relationships to speak of, but she does have a string of acquaintances across the country that fulfil certain and sporadic purposes for her.
Powers & Abilities: A Pyhrros demon is a purely incorporeal spirit creature made up of demonic purple flame, primarily. When a Pyhrros demon inhabits a human body, it heals all wounds previously suffered (including death, disease, etc.) essentially 'resetting' the body to a fit state. It also makes the body stronger, more durable, faster, more agile and more dexterous. Their perception and cognitive abilities are also improved somewhat. Basically, amps up everything about them to well above average/superhuman levels. A possessed human also has the ability to manifest and utilise the demonic purple flame of the Pyhrros, though this is concentrated to their hands
. In Cherry's case, her mastery over this purple hellfire is quite limited, and she is unsure as to why.
Weaknesses: A Pyhrros demon remembers nothing of the life the body they have possessed lied before they died. Also, their base nature can be somewhat selfish and flaky, making for difficult relationships with humans, or understanding of basic human behaviours/decencies etc.
In Cherry's case, her limited mastery over her hellfire powers also often poses a problem when her over-confidence and recklessness might get her in to tricky situations.
Skills: Cherish Baum, the body this Pyhrros inhabits, was a near world-class gymnast, just beginning to compete at a national level. This made the body the spirit now inhabits already very strong and agile etc., which has only been further accelerated by the effects of Pyhrros possession.
Equipment: Cherry inherited most of her family's estate when she turned 18; her brother already successful and well endowed agreed to an uneven split in her favour. As such, Cherry is not short of many amenities.
Background: Cherish Baum was the apple of her parents' eyes; the second child after a first-born son collegiate basketballer who had become a noted surgeon in New York City. Cherish herself was on track to becoming a champion gymnast, destined for the Olympics, while also studying law. Classic, mega-wealthy overachievers with every benefit in private trainers and tutors.
It was at the age of 17 that Cherish Baum died, along with her parents, on their way to a her first appearance at a national gymnastics competition she'd just qualified for. Their car was all but crushed by an 18 wheeler whose driver had fallen asleep at the wheel.
The Pyhrros demon that punched its way through to Earth and found Cherish's empty vessel did a lot of the work to save the body, long before paramedics arrived. But the spirit was very young, barely having found self-awareness and essentially being lucky to find its chance the way it did. Considering the state both the car and Cherish' parents were in, it was deemed a miracle she was in as good a state as she was.
When the Pyhrros finally awoke in its new body, like with any other case of a Pyhrros possession, everything that was Cherish Baum was gone. The possession process had repaired as much as it could, the Pyhrros being relatively young and weak as compared to others that achieved this kind of independent possession, but there were still numerous broken bones and sites of trauma still left to heal. It became clear to the doctors, at the private hospital the Baum family health insurance entitled her to being treated at, that she had been rendered an amnesiac due to cranial trauma that was still healing.
Through various sessions with doctors, psychologists and Cherish Baum's brother, they tried to recover her memories. The only thing that happened, however, was that the Pyhrros demon learned enough about Cherish Baum to fake it, just right. The radical change in her personality and behaviour, and lasting gaps in some parts of her memories, were put down to the effects of her physical and emotional traumas, perhaps never to be recovered. And even if it were possible, perhaps it would not be the best thing for her. Someone that survived something like this could never be expected to truly be the same again, not really.
Once 18, and free, and truly independent of all attachments (save Cherish' pesky brother who does try very hard to stay in touch), the Pyhrros demon began going by Cherry Baum, inherited the majority of her parent's wealth and estate (her brother volunteering an uneven split in her favour, as he was already comfortably well off by his own means anyway), and began travelling the country experiencing everything and anything she possibly could.
