Provide a full description of your Sword Art here. Be sure to add glowing effects, as well what EXACTLY your Sword Art does. Remember, Sword Arts are guided by the system of the game, and while occasionally the angles and directions will shift, the Sword Art should be used exactly the same way everytime.

Oshiro Kyou is the only child of a stay-at-home mother and an engineer. She grew up in a well-to-do family and always did what was expected of her. She got generally good grades at school, and was always quite popular due to her friendliness and participation on school sports teams (specifically, track and basketball).

Though her parents have a relatively good relationship, Kyou's father has a terrible and explosive temper. He has never hit her, but his words still hurt just as well. She has lived her childhood, up until she entered the game, afraid of her father and afraid of evoking the anger of others.

While Kyou had spent the majority of her childhood fascinated by sports, boys soon became a point of interest after her thirteenth birthday. She wasn't exactly popular with guys, but she still managed to get a boyfriend in her first year of high school. Unfortunately, her first boyfriend turned out to be a louse who saw other women on the side. Kyou caught him cheating on her with her fellow track team mate and, consequently, felt her confidence shatter.

Kyou grew more introverted after that incident, and stuck close with her friends. It wasn't until she became project partners with a boy in her class, named Ogata Kei, that she started to poke her head out of her shell. At first she was distant with Kei, but his kindness and sincerity tore her walls down.

"...But it's just a game...This is just part of the game, right?"

Like many of the other players, Kyou could not accept Kayaba's words. She thought perhaps that it was part of the game, just a gimmick to make the game seem more real. Then she tried to log out. And tried. And tried, frantically so, until she broke down into hysterics that she could not log out and that there could be some truth in Kayaba's words. Kei saw that Kyou was breaking down, and promptly wrapped his arm around her shoulders and assured her that they would be able to log out by beating the game. Kyou, still shaken by the events, promised Kei that they would log out together.

Kyou became utterly dependent on Kei. Since Sword Art Online was the first MMORPG she has ever played, she was clueless on how to even go about the basics even after taking the tutorial. Kei taught her all the things he knew from playing other games, but Kyou had grown depressed the longer they remained trapped in the game. She was unwilling to go on quests or to do anything that may be dangerous. She didn't want either of them to die.

Kei eventually grew impatient with Kyou and began to go on quests by himself until he was finally able to convince Kyou to go along with him. Unfortunately, Kei chose the wrong dungeon and the two were locked in a place with monsters stronger than their average level.
