PICTURE

Reinsworth is presently about 5'9" tall and weighs about 130 pounds. Her build is slim, but also extremely toned and athletic from working the vineyards so much. Her hair is black, reaching just past the nape of her neck and almost always looks disheveled, while her eyes are a pale, yet lustrous shade of yellow, similar to white gold. Her eyes usually tend to give her a depressing, almost reminiscent look most of the time, as though constantly deep in thought.

This sword art is activated when the user cocks their arm back until their fist is parallel to their head, shortly after which it will begin glowing silver. The user then throws a somewhat slow, but extremely powerful punch at their target.

To activate this sword art, the user forms a cross with their forearms while their hands are clenched into fists. After activation, their fists will begin to glow copper and the user will lash out with a flurry of punches, hitting up to three enemies.

Positive:

• Intelligent- Despite her lack of a formal education, Reinsworth is actually gifted with an impressive amount of intelligence. Were she able to go to school, she would have undoubtedly graduated at the top of her class every year.
  
• Crafty- As a result of being forced to live on the street for much of her younger years, Reinsworth became especially crafty when it came to solving problems on her own, making her an extremely logical thinker when she needs to get something done.
  
• Subtle- Another trait of Reinsworth's personality that may be tied to her time living as an urchin in France. She rarely expresses herself directly, instead preferring to ere on the side of subtlety and keep her intentions to herself. This makes her especially discreet when she has to be.
  
• Reliable- Whenever she finds herself assigned with a task to complete or a role to perform, Reinsworth is extremely reliable in completing it to the utmost extent of her ability. She rarely makes promises to anyone, but when she does she always follows through on them.
  
• Professional- Never having had much social interaction, one might assume that Reinsworth would be crude at first. On the contrary, however, her personality actually sways to the opposite side of the spectrum, causing her to treat any socialization in a very curt, no-nonsense sort of way that makes her seem very professional, even when the situation doesn't call for it.

Negative:

• Suspicious- A double entendre, referring primarily to how Reinsworth's reclusive and subtle nature make her seem shady and suspicious despite harboring no ill intent, but also secondarily to how she has an innate distrust of people and rarely opens up to them.
  
• Materialistic- Because of her extremely poor childhood and the years she was forced to spend on the street with nothing of her own but the clothes on her back and a tattered top hat, Reinsworth is very materialistic, driven more by the prospect of wealth and fortune than friendship or goodwill.
  
• Dreary- As a result of her dreary attitude, people around her always end up getting a depressing and melancholy vibe from her. This isn't in itself isn't an innately bad thing, but as the majority aren't fond of gloomy people she tends to be avoided more for it.
  
• Socially Recluse- A result of her many years of solitude as a child and the social stigma imposed on her by her standing as an orphan, Reinsworth has very little in the way of friends or a social life. Back in the real world she spent much of her time alone, even going so far as to isolate her adoptive parents; though they hoped to get her to open up a bit by playing SAO.
  
• Hopeless- An end that isn't especially hard to reach when one lays out the circumstances that led her to where she is today. Reinsworth quite simply has no hope anymore, whether it be for the present or the future, but she doesn't feel that hope is necessary any longer, so long as she continues to move forward. Even so, her heart is most likely trapped in the past, as her nostalgic expressions might lead one to believe.

Born in the Merlot region of France to a poor clockmaker and his seamstress wife, Reinsworth spent most of her childhood in poverty. She had few friends because of her social standing and her parents couldn't afford to send her to school so they ended up teaching her at home instead, furthering her lack of social interaction. It was in this period of her life that she began to become socially recluse and lonely.

Shortly after her 14th birthday, an unfortunate accident occurred; the cause of which is still unknown. As a result of this accident, her house ended up burning down, killing both of her parents in the process. Reinsworth herself had snuck out that night in order to watch the stars, as was her routine, making her the only one who managed to escape injury. Bereft of home and family, she was forced to live on the streets as an orphan, the only remaining memento of her past life being a tattered old top hat her father once gave to her.

Some two years later, she was found in a local park by a young married couple who owned a local wine vineyard. The husband felt deeply empathetic for the girl, having gone through a similar experience in his childhood, and the childless couple decided to let her stay at their chateau so she could work on the vineyard as one of their employees.

The couple quickly became attached to the girl, who they called Rein, and she proved to be an exceptionally diligent worker once she learned the trade; although unbeknownst to her benefactors, Reinsworth herself abhorred wine. It was during this period that she also began taking up savate to occupy her free time, as she still retained no social life to speak of.

On her 18th birthday, the couple announced that they would be officially adopting Reinsworth as their daughter, which forced a smile from the girl despite believing that the gesture was more out of pity than anything. She was also subsequently promoted to head manager of the vineyards for her tireless dedication since she'd begun working there; a decision that the other workers took surprisingly well as they'd all grown rather fond of her melancholy perseverance themselves.

On her 19th birthday, in an attempt to help her with her habitual reclusiveness, her parents decided to buy her the newest MMO on the market; Sword Art Online, as even with her duties in the vineyard and her practice of savate, her lack of a social life still left her with abundant free time during which she'd normally sit in her room and gaze off into space nostalgically. As a result, her parents thought SAO might be a good way to help her improve her social skills.

When Reinsworth first logged in on Sword Art Online, she was definitely bewildered. She'd never so much as played an MMO before this, let alone one so advanced and realistic. She'd barely gotten herself acquainted with the game, however, when everyone was summoned and the announcement was finally made. To be perfectly honest, she was apathetic towards the whole situation; fighting for survival in an unforgiving world was nothing new to her and whether it was this world or her own hardly mattered in her eyes. She would adapt as she always did and one way or another she would find a way to survive.
