I've been playing TF2 too much lately. I mean, seriously; it should only take you a second to work out what my favourite class is. But you should've seen how fast I typed this up. I'm not even winded. Bang! I make it look easy. MAJOR LEAGUE!

History:
Rochelle went to the same primary school as Aero; basically being the school’s major sports enthusiast, or ‘jock’, as most of her classmates referred to her. She was often seen as the school’s bully too due to her ferocity and rather dominative nature, and often ripped into other students about their timidness or stupidity. A particularly incident while she was young ended up with Aero on the tee, though her reasons for striking him across the park were actually rather justified in truth. While not the best personality-wise she was the queen of the sportsgrounds, leading most; if not all; of the small school’s sports teams. As the star of the school’s sports with her outstanding speed and skill she was quickly snapped up by the PCA as a perfect trump card for their own sports teams.

However, the new pressures of the PCA’s highly competitive sports teams caused severe stress for Rochelle, who was used to the more casual teams of her primary school. Racked by stress she became much more volatile and violent; and eventually disaster struck in her sporting at the age of 14. During a particularly aggressive game of her favourite sport; baseball; Rochelle was hit directly in the face by a speeding ball. While she was unconscious for a while she was not severely injured, except her horn was ripped clean off of her forehead. Ashamed of her blunder and horrified by it’s consequences Rochelle withdrew from the sporting world; quitting all of her sports to rethink her interests.

Finally returning to the sporting world at the age of 15 Rochelle’s love of sports was tuned down by a lot, and so was her aggressive personality. Ashamed of how she had treated other earlier she returned to her sporting as a much more caring leader, though her aggressiveness still remained, although tuned down. Soon becoming a rather celebrated leader in the sports’ teams Rochelle’s new attitude has gotten her a lot of respect from her classmates. Unfortunately Aero is still vengeful about their incident together, and has ignored her new personality, preparing his revenge in the shadows.

Personality:
Rochelle is bit beyond being assertive, and seems to be perpetually quick-tempered, although she has a more caring and effeminate side which is generally present when she’s in private or helping out her teammates. On the sporting field and in battles she is very dominant, ordering her teammates around constantly. While often bossy she still cheers on her teammates, and hold anyone who tries their best in high respects regardless of their skill; although she has little patience for anyone who whines or complains.

Interests:
Naturally Rochelle loves sports; particularly baseball and sprinting. Her enormous speed is unmatched; she can easily outrun other speedsters like Aero and Twitch. Her strength is quite superb too, her upper body strength being unparalleled due to her excessive training with her throwing arm. Despite her strength and speed which would be perfect for battling she has little interest in it; mainly because she isn’t allowed to take her beloved wooden baseball bat (affectionately named ‘Dusty’ by her team; which she now refers to it as) into the ring. She’s happy to fight outside the ring so she can use her bat though, and has surprising respect for the rules despite her use of an illegal weapon even when not umpired.

Moves:
Freshman Moves:
Ember: Rochelle’s favourite move. Tossing a fireball into the air she uses either her bat or a leg to slam it and send it flying across the battlefield. Despite it’s unpredictability Rochelle has superb aim with her fireballs, even capable of hitting moving targets if they’re close by.
Double Kick: Giving her foe a taste of her lower body’s strength and speed Rochelle jumps upwards and lands a blow with each leg before landing fully.
Fire Spin: Forming a ribbon of flames Rochelle begins an uncharacteristically graceful dance with the flaming streak. Rochelle usually whips her opponent with the flame or simply entangles her foe with it, leaving them in bonds while Rochelle can continue moving.
Flame Wheel: Following a run-up Rochelle summersaults forwards flipping her legs over and down with a layer of flames onto her opponent, slamming them into the ground and leaving Rochelle standing on top of them.

Sophomore Moves:
Will-O-Wisp: Lighting up an intense flame on her hand Rochelle places her burning hand on her foe’s skin, creating a severe and rather long-lasting burn. This is one of Rochelle’s most feared moves due to it’s long-term effects.
Rest: As much energy Rochelle has at her disposal she still tires, and must rest most of her days off to focus. With this move at her disposal she can immediately fall asleep; although her usage of it is generally an automatic natural reaction, and she has a tendency to simply collapse; asleep; generally straight after a tough game. Luckily her teammates are generally there to help her out, but there will be times when they’re not around…
Agility: Charging to her full speed Rochelle redirects her friction to her flames, causing them to burn blue with heat, sending her forward at incredible speeds. With her increased speed Rochelle can easily dodge projectiles or prepare for a fierce attack; using her momentum to boost her moves’ power.
Fire Blast: Grabbing her foe Rochelle charges forward; her speed quickly dazing them from their struggles. Either slamming them into a wall or jumping and slamming them into the ground Rochelle finally blasts her opponents with a focussed meteor of fire; which takes the form of the traditional star-shape of Fire Blast. This move is generally Rochelle’s finishing move; leaving her foe scorched and heavily bruised; if not unconscious.

Junior Moves:
Fury Attack: Putting her strength to a more conventional use Rochelle creates a combination of heavy kicks and punches, which can deal devastating blows if they connect. However, the wind-up required to use them slows them down quite a lot, leaving Rochelle open to attacks or dodges.
Bounce: Focussing her energy in her legs Rochelle makes a jump of enormous height, leaping straight up. This move can send her up to 20m into the air; any higher and the fall could injure her. Rochelle generally uses it to get over obstacles; but she can use to slam her opponent with gravity-boosted momentum. She can also use it to create a second jump while in the air, though this jump is only the height of a regular jump.
Flare Blitz: Rochelle creates a large cluster of tiny fireballs before firing them all towards her foe. The tiny fireballs are quite weak individually but come in large enough numbers and at a high enough speed to keep opponents under pressure due to the hail of flames.
Strength: While Rochelle rarely uses this move when she does it’s very impressive. Using all of her muscles and strength Rochelle strengthens herself with her energy to perform some act of incredible strength, ranging from simply tossing enemies around or lifting cars and the like. Rochelle doesn’t like the move due to it’s slowness and the amount of energy she needs to use it properly.

Appearance:
Rochelle is not as slim and pretty as other girls her age; but she doesn’t care. She’s very tall, and thus looks rather slim but is rather clearly muscular due to her abbs and biceps, if a bit chubby around the waist and stomach. She generally wears her red PCA sporting polo and black jeans, and is almost always carrying ‘Dusty’ with her. She often wears black a baseball cap too. While she wears this light outfit all year round she usually wears a jacket over it in the winter, which is a fitting red to match her shirt.

Team and Relationships:
Rochelle is not in a team at the moment, and seems to have little interest in joining one, as she is not interested in battling; instead sticking to her teammates in sports. She generally is respected by the student body, but not always liked due to her harsh treatment of anyone who doesn’t completely give their all; even if they have justified it. She is a close friend of Twitch’s; and there have been suggestions that he has a crush on her. Aero has a extreme hatred of her because of the way she ‘bullied’ him during primary school, and aims to enact revenge upon her when he gets his act together.
