002 XIAOYU
[When Xiaoyu saw the sign for the Training Center, she expected it be something like a gym-- maybe a bit swankier due to all the fancy shmancy technology of this world. So imagine her surprise when she enters and is greeted by a strange jungle-like setting. Curious, she ventures deeper into the foliage, dark eyes wide and searching as she glances around.
The sound of something thumping against the ground behind her catches her attention, and upon turning around Xiaoyu lets out a surprised noise. Is that... a plant with a face? Beating it's vines? Rather than taking up her fighting stance, she merely stands in place and gawks at it for a moment or two.]
No way. So this stuff is real?! [Of course they had talked about monsters in class, but Xiaoyu had labeled it all to be nonsense-- after all, monsters didn't exist! And if they did, surely a school wouldn't house any-- that had to be a safety violation, or something. Her doubt is immediately swiped away as the Grat lashes one of its vines out towards her, and the martial artist jumps back just in time to avoid getting smacked. The monster advances, and Xiaoyu hesitates-- while she would have had no problems immediately launching an attack were it a person, how exactly were you supposed to beat up a creeping plant-monster? She takes to running a bit further away, before finally turning around and shifting into her fighting stance when she feels that there is enough distance between herself and the Grat.]
I'm not scared of you! [Which might be a small, white lie.]
