Profile - Student Template V1.00
Name: Setsuna Higashi Gender: Female Age: 21
Height: 5' 9" Weight: 132 lbs. Appearance:
Who, me?
Occupation: Therapist/Counselor with Kaneshima PD
Residency: Cheap Apartment Downtown
Personality:
Oh, I-I'm not anyone special...
Setsuna has always been quite shy and even a bit melancholy, but she's come out of her shell a bit more in recent years. Though she's still easily embarrassed, soft-spoken and can easily get weepy from sad or happy moments, she has less of a problem sticking up for herself and gently, but firmly corrects others should they try to harass her or other undeserving parties.
Her sense of justice is as firm as ever, though her days as a brutal vigilante are far behind her. While she still goes on patrols now and again, she is strict about only using as much force as is necessary and allowing the police to deal with the criminals she subdues. As always, she can be a bit clumsy and tends to flounder when placed on the spot.
Setsuna greatly values her friendships and cares deeply for others, especially those whose struggles she greatly empathizes with. She can be a bit unsure about the best way to go about helping someone, but her heart is always in the right place and in such situations she can be very outgoing and surprisingly thoughtful.
She still enjoys very feminine pursuits and has spent a great deal of her time learning the domestic arts. It would be a lie to say this wasn't don't at least in part to attract a husband, but it's something she really enjoys as well. Being a good wife and mother with a loving husband is her present dream.
History:
That's kind of a long story...  Pre-Hyakuji Setsuna grew up in a small city called Clover Town, a somewhat secluded place that often seemed to be the victim of attacks by dark overlords. In balance with this, the town was always protected by a band of legendary magical girls that would appear whenever evil threatened the people and it was the dream of every girl in the city to become one one day. Setsuna grew up as a meek and timid girl who shared this same dream. In school, she was often picked on simply because she always backed down from bullies and teasing and was the frequent victim of terrible rumors. Those who tried to befriend her were often targeted by rumors and bullying as well, but Setsuna did little to defend them being so used to taking such abuse.
By Junior High she was a complete outcast, but even though her heart had begun to harden, she still held onto her childhood dreams of becoming a magical protector one day. That opportunity presented itself soon enough the day their school received a strange new transfer student. An energetic and confident individual, she was assigned the seat directly behind Setsuna. Though she attempted to strike up conversation with Setsuna many times, Setsuna continually rejected her, not wanting to risk her getting targeted by rumors and go through the feeling of losing another friend. It was around this time that the next form of evil had risen, desiring to inflict despair and crush the dreams of the people of Clover Town.
On her way home from school one day, Setsuna was attacked by a minion of the dark lord named Wester who, sensing the despair in Setsuna’s heart, attempted to take it. Setsuna was powerless to resist, but was saved at the last second thanks to the sudden appearance of one of the new legendary magical girls. She was awestruck as she watched the daring and confident warrior best the evil minion and she felt a certain amount of joy for the first time in her life for as long as she could remember. After the fight, Setsuna aggressively thanked her for her help, expressing her desire to be as strong as her one day. She answered saying she already had the strength in her, if she would only give her dreams a second chance.
Setsuna secretly chased after the magical girl when she tried to leave and hid an alley as she spied the mysterious warrior transforming back to her normal form only to find that she was secretly the new transfer student! The next day, Setsuna confronted her with that knowledge on the roof of the school, frustrated that someone who had only been here a short time could be so confident and had achieved her childhood dream. The magical girl merely gave her a confident smile and asked how Setsuna couldn’t have already. The two were suddenly attacked by Wester once again, sensing the power of a magical girl near the school. During this fight, Setsuna’s desire to protect her new friend finally allowed her to transform into her own magical girl and the two proceeded to soundly trounce Wester.
The two of them quickly became close friends and Setsuna slowly began to emerge from her shell, standing up to those who had said terrible things about her and defending her former friends that they had also made into victims. For the first time in her life, she was confident about the present and the future.
As they continued to battle evil in Clover Town, eventually two more magical girls appeared and together, as four best friends, they went to confront the dark lord himself. The source of the dark lord’s power was a giant black crystal that grew more powerful as it absorbed the negative feelings of the people of Clover Town. Preparing to face him head on, the dark lord first remarked that he had been studying Setsuna all her life, telling her that he knew all about who she really was. The dark crystal had been feeding on her doubts and despairs for years and that those who had been hurt by his attacks were all thanks to her weakness. Though her friends tried to snap her out of his psychological warfare, the power of the dark crystal forced her to face images of her past as well as the possible future her weakness would cause. Unable to transform because of her doubts, the others attempted to save her by defeating the dark lord, but without their combined power, he quickly dispatched them.
Their leader, the girl who had given Setsuna her confidence back, was the first to sacrifice herself, telling the others to run and get her to safety. Setsuna was faced with the sound of her screaming as they made it safely back to Clover Town. Unable to forgive herself, she completely lost the ability to become a magical girl and her friends became frustrated with trying to help her. Though the other two tried to defend the town by themselves, they were lost without their leader and another of them was soon killed in battle. As the last magical girl, she eventually stood before Setsuna, telling her that their leader wouldn’t want it to end this way; that they could still defeat the dark lord together. Reluctantly, she agreed and even without the ability to transform, the two confronted the dark lord once again.
Resting all their hopes and dreams on each other, their combined desires temporarily resurrected the spirits of their friends who added to their power. Together they managed to destroy the dark crystal once and for all, severing the dark lord’s power. However, the explosion of the dark crystal sent a piece directly into Setsuna, piercing her heart. The shard embedded itself in her spirit, feeding on her negative emotions and giving her power. The power of the dark shard transformed her into Mahou Sensi Kurocho. The dark lord remarked at the irony of her becoming the one who would replace him and again used her past to galvanize her negative emotions. Enraged at all he had done to her and her friends, the power of the dark shard erupted inside her, destroying the powerless dark lord outright.
However, in her fury, her last friend had also been caught in the attack, killing her as well. Setsuna was devastated; grief stricken and disillusioned with the world, she left Clover Town. She has come to Hyakuji in an attempt to leave her past behind, but is unsure what her future will be with her inability to reconcile her mistakes and the dark shard threatening to swallow her heart. Post Hyakuji Setsuna's tenure at Hyakuji was one marked with dramatic highs and lows. Although she was at first unable to make many friends, she was rescued from her lonliness by a few dedicated students and even began dating. Although at first things seemed to be looking up, the boy for whom she had feelings dumped her after learning about her past and later began dating one of her roommates. Feeling betrayed and alone, Setsuna began to surrender to the dark power inside her and her vigilante activities took a violent turn.
It was during a karaoke battle around this time that she met Daisuke, a man who's iron will and dedication would prove invaluable in rescuing her soul from that darkness. The pair fought on multiple fronts but eventually united during the Dopant crisis. Thanks to Chizu, her older roommate, as well as Daisuke and others, Setsuna made up with her friends and started to change for the better, rediscovering the thing inside her that had once fueled her desire to be a soldier of love and justice.
After graduation, she went off to university knowing exactly what she wanted to do: help others going through difficulties similar to her own. Studying psychology, she graduated early, prepared to counsel young metas. Her work with former Dopant users was well regarded and got her several jobs working with police to manage young, criminal metas. However, in an effort to get her dream post at a school like Hyakuji, Setsuna took a job with the Kaneshima PD, with her eye on the new high school recently opened on the island...
Powers and Abilities:
Setsuna is a soldier of justice, devoted to the ideals of peace, love, friendship, and beautiful dreams. And she'll beat up anyone who threatens those ideals! After conquering the Dark Shard lodged in her heart thanks to the firm kindness of a stranger, she now has access to all of her powers as she once did when her desire to protect others allowed her to first transform into a soldier of justice, a Pretty Cure!
The Breakdown  - Mahou Senshi Kurocho
Setsuna's sealed form, created originally by the Dark Shard in her heart corrupting and twisting her emotions. Now it serves as a reminder of the things she's overcome and more practically as a base form for combat, not unlike the Ride Wear of an Armored Rider. While Setsuna is ordinarily not combat inclined, nor naturally strong, changing into her various forms increases her strength potential far beyond that of an ordinary human as well as imparting an instinctual fighting technique known to every Cure.
Setsuna can activate this form without a command, and once engaged her strength increases dramatically, allowing her to punch, kick, and lift with multiple tons of force and move two and a half times faster than peak human potential. The signature technique of this form is the Kuro Kick, a flying right-legged kick which strikes with explosive force and can easily break a steel girder in twain.
With the Dark Shard having been broken, she no longer has access to the Passion Sword.
Spoiler: click to toggle  - Cure Passion
Cure Passion is Setsuna's unsealed state, giving her access to even greater power fueled by the Passion in her heart that drives her to be a protector of the innocent and a defender of those who can't defend themselves.
In this form, all her abilities are increased by 50%, though as her passion rises, she can occasionally surpass these limits at the expense of her life energy. As Cure Passion, Setsuna also has access to the Passion Harp, her primary weapon.
The Passion Harp is a small, handheld harp which, when strummed, fires off a pink blast of hearts and feathers. The attack is magical in nature with a 50% purifying damage multiplier against undead or evil-aligned targets and hits with concussive force equal to that of an Olympic boxer's right hook. As her primary finishing move, Setsuna spins around, plucking the harp's strings in a wild fashion, creating a wide area of these blasts known as the Happiness Hurricane.
Passion Harp/Happiness Hurricane Spoiler: click to toggle  - Cure Angel Passion
Attaining her highest state, this form is only accessible during a state of high emotion or desperate circumstances. As Angel Passion, Setsuna can surpass her limits as Pretty Cure and use all of her power and more for a short period of time, but at a great personal cost. In using this form, Setsuna uses a great deal of her own life force and although she might not die, overuse could lead to her destroying her Cure Driver and losing her Cure powers entirely. After three posts, her Current Driver is likely to take irreparable damage, and after five posts it is almost certain she would die.
With this form, her abilities are increased 100% across the board from regular Cure Passion, making her incredibly strong, fast, and endurant. She gains access to useable wings which allow for magically powered flight and straight flight speeds equal to that of her running speed. Her most powerful attack can be used only in this form by linking her Passion Harp with her Change Driver and placing it on her hip. This allows her to perform the Lucky Clover Grand Finale, a devastating kick with enough force to reduce an average two-story home to a flattened pile of matchsticks.
This attack may only be performed once before it exhausts her Angel Passion form.

- 3 tons -> 4.5 tons -> 9 ton deadlift/punch/kick force
- 2.5 times human spd -> 3.75 -> 7.5 times faster than humanly possible
The above is for my reference, detailing Setsuna's stat growth as she goes through the forms. First off, lets deal with the force she outputs. I will also assume that "a few tons" means 3. Finally, I will also be using the punch as basis as, assuming human anatomy, a punch in terms of strength, tends to be less than those of a kick or deadlift.
Some quick conversion shows that at the first level, her fist carries 24, 914 Newtons of force. Roughly, the arm length of a woman is 71 cm, so this translates to 20, 888 Joules of force.
* Cure Passion Modifier (1.5) = 31, 332 joules
* Cure Passion Angel Modifier (2) = 62, 665 joules.
Is this what you meant by "pound of force" or. . .
If you meant her fist ACTs with a mass of 3 tons. . .[/spoiler Keith Liddel currently holds the record of the fastest punch according to Wikipedia, clocking in at 45 mph or 72.5 km/h or 20 m/s. But wait, Setsuna moves at 2.5 times peak human potential! Correct, so we will low ball it here as it is unlikely that Keith represents peak human physicality. Thus, Setsuna's punchs can be said to travel at 50 m/s, outputting 0.5 * 3000 kg * (50 m/s)^2 = 3, 750, 000 Joules.
But wait, there's more! Cure Passion raises this by 50%.
5, 625, 000 Joules. Or does it? Remember, the increase is to her base parameters, not final punch power.
0.5 * 4500 kg * (75 m/s)^2 = 12, 656, 250 Joules.
But wait, that's not the end. Cure Angel Passion doubles the parameters of Cure Passion!
0.5 * 9000 kg * (150 m/s)^2 = 101, 250, 000 Joules.
This approximates to 2.41 * 10^(-8) Megatons of TNT, which approximates to being hugged by not one but two suicide bombers, from a standing punch. Not even a hole, not much of any of you would be left after a punch from her.
Remember though, both the above scenarios are in relation to simple standing punches; human anatomy say that even mundane kicks output several times the energy of a punch.
Now, for The Kick.
Steel girder are pretty variable in durability, particularly without notifications of size and such. Regardless, the ability to level a two story building is too much, especially considering volume of the dwelling isn't provided. Similarly, though allusions to "use all of her power and more for a short period of time, but at a great personal cost" and such are present, the actual drawbacks are viscous. When writing consequences, I follow the guideline that a person should be able to judge your character's limits just by reading the profile, or better yet, be able to RP the character in a fight scenario just from reading the powers.
So, clarify and work that out a bit, please and thank you.
Note also that though the first form is passable, the second and third forms tack on a bit too many features for me to comfortably classify them as "singular abilities", especially considering how nebulous the drawbacks are for the third. Consider reconsidering.

Alright looks good.
One last thing to clarify; where does Setsuna works now? Her occupation lists her as a Therapist / Counsellor, and the biography suggests it is at the precinct. Is that the case?
