▶ Appearance

Dimentions: Height - 5'3"/ Weight - 98lbs.

Hair Color: Light Green

Hair Style: Kameri has a long hair, that can be seen just looking at her side ponytail. However, it's unusual to see her with loose hair, so she stays with the same hairstyle, just changing her bangs a little. They are pretty long, being able to cover her ears. Kameri's ponytail is tied up by a black brooch with two prismatic crystals.

Skin Tone:  Kameri is pale, but slightely tanned.

Eye Color: Indigo Purple.

Personal Style: Kameri always uses colorful clothes. Even if her main clothes are in gray-ish tones, she always likes to use details using  the seven colors of the rainbow, and they can be found on her gloves, her upper clothes and also her shorts. Also, she uses three crystals who can reflect all of the colors. One on her choker and the other two on her hair brooch. And she uses a pair of red bracelets with sparklies, and red boots.  Out of the circus, she can wear some different clothes, mostly dresses, but as colorful as her main outfit.

Build: Kameri is a bit muscular, but really short. Her training in the circus made her gain some physical strength. Since she started as an acrobat, being little was part of her training too, making her really flexible.

Tattoos, Markings, & Scars: She has a scar on her left arm, covered by one of her bracelets. Kameri gained it when she was 7, while training to be a performer. She fell of the trapeze and tried to recover. However, even with her skills, she wasn’t able to fall perfectly. Then, ended up hurting herself. She even broke her arm.

Extras: Kameri always carry some stuff from the circus with her. She takes advantage of her abilities as an illusionist to hide a lot of things, mostly on her hair, like cards or little pieces of paper, just to play some tricks.

Another thing Kameri has, is a special whip. At first, it could be related to lion tamers, but actually Kameri uses it to catch various things from a safe distance, and to keep people safe from the animals from the circus. It can be useful for some magic tricks as well. This whip is clearly a reference to the chameleon's "whip tongue", able to catch bugs from a safe distance. It was a gift from one of Kameri's special friends.




▶ Blading Outline

Team:  Black Mirage (Founder)

At the first sight, Kameri wasn't related to any team, since she was too busy with her duties in the circus. So, she was just a traveler, using her bey battles in the circus as a way to entertain her crowd. Of course, she heard about the tournaments around the world, but couldn't stay away from the place that made her reputation grow. However, after the incidents during her travels, Kameri decided to make a big change, as a way to regain her lost status. Kameri made the decision of making a team after the time she spent on America. She had to leave her new friends due to her duties, but at least, she would be able to talk with Sahara, her soul-sister, again. Then, after a long conversation and an unexpected reunion, they founded the team known as "Black Mirage". Kameri refused to be the leader, but she's still known as the main founder.


Beyblade: Prisma Chameleon ED145TWB (プリズム カメレオン)
Type: Defense



Kameri’s bey is the one that most people say: “One of a kind”. The main feature of it is the fusion wheel, with six prismatic mirrors. However, those mirrors aren’t that fragile, being able to resist a lot of attacks, since it’s a defense type. Basically it’s iridescent, so they can reflect all of the colors, a resemblance to the seven colors of the rainbow.  Kameri carries it with her since she was a baby, even if she wasn’t able to understand why. All she knows is, that bey was directly related to her past and her origins.


Constellation: Alpha Chamaeleontis.

Blading Style: Kameri’s style is completely defensive. Even if she likes to start the attacks, it’s just part of her plan, since she can use her tricks to help her in the battles. She knows that her bey isn’t the best when it comes to attack power, so Kameri focus on her own tricks to surpass her opponents. She mixes the ability of her bey to reflect light with illusions, an unusual combination, but extremely powerful, especially if her opponent is a hot-tempered type.

Bitbeast: Chameleon

Bitbeast Appearance: It’s a giant green-lighted and armored chameleon covered with seven crystals (again, a resemblance to all the colors) in the extension of its tail, holding a diamond, who acts as a “shield”.




Special Attack: Kaleidoscope (万華鏡 - Mangekyō):  Consists on using light to create numerous copies of Chameleon, surrounding the opponent’s Bey and making it unable to escape, like being trapped inside a lot of twisted mirrors. Then, the illusions start to attack, but they are just a bait. While the opponent’s bey would try to avoid the furious attacks of the illusions, the real Chameleon comes from behind to land a powerful strike.

Other Key Moves:

Mirror Barrage (鏡の障壁 - Kagami no shōheki): The most powerful defensive move from Chameleon, focused on counter-attacks. It starts to shine and spin with a great speed, even if the bey just stands in one place, waiting for the opponent to hit it, focusing its power to defend any kind of direct attack, really effective with the frontal ones. If Chameleon succeeds, it absorbs the attack and uses the focused power to strike the opponent’s bey with the double of its original power.

Great Rainbow Arrow (大きな虹の矢 - Ōkina niji no ya): Even if it’s kinda unknown (because it was only used twice), Chameleon’s true power is hidden by this ability. It charges seven light beams to prepare for a powerful attack. Then, Chameleon charges with high speed for a frontal attack, being like a giant arrow covered by the seven colors of the rainbow.





▶ Personal Outline

Family: Kameri’s parents are unknown. She was adopted by a circus troupe when she was a baby, and the members were the closest meaning of family for her. However, after some time, and when she became famous for being part of the Black Mirage, a mysterious traveler crossed her path. It was Ashuria Saiyou, after a few events revealing herself as Kameri’s older sister, along with the birth name of the circus girl: Yudaya. Also, Kameri has a soul-sister, Sahara Yuko. She isn’t blood-related, but they met in the middle of Kameri’s travels. She approached Sahara because of her connection with Kyoya, however they formed an unique bond and started to protect each other.


Friends: Ginga Hagane, Yu Tendo, Tsubasa Otori, Kenta Yumiya, Madoka Amano, King, Zeo Abyss (past love interest), Toby, Dynamis, Chao Xin, Mei Mei, Nile (former rival), Jack, Noya Roku, Ethan Meaola, Jamie Roku (appletart370 ), Misae Eluwilussit (Aliocornia ), Momo (Prissmon ), Scarlett Gallagher (Marthiette ), Athena Olympia (Sagaiah ), Claudia (Andyrosary ), Sofia Brave (pigeon-wirru ), Killian Fry (Aimatiros ), Shizuka Ishikawa (KiraraAzuki ), Julia Podolskaya (Julia-Beyblade ), Suellen Sihana, Simon Shinora (oresera ), Carla Star (Miyukou ), Su-Shi (Su-Hena )

Enemies: Ashuria Saiyou, Dr. Ziggurat, Rago & Nemesis bladers in general.


Rival: Kyoya Tategami


Love Interest: Masamune Kadoya  (SparkleShipping)



Their relationship started after an unique meeting. At the first sight, Kameri was looking at Masamune just as a fan, since she's a star, and keeps a certain reputation. Also, she doesn't know how to deal with relationships, even when it comes to friendship, because Kameri grew up having no friends. Of course, she was raised in the circus, but the troupe members were more like some kind of family to her. However, on Masamune's side, he saw Kameri as an amazing blader, even if she lost the battle, just like finding "a rare gem". Even with her reputation, Kameri was unknown to him. He noticed Kameri's sadness by accident, but due to his nature, offered his help. Kameri could finally leave her trust issues behind a little bit and accepted him as a friend.

So, they became friends and started to see each other more often. When Kameri was able to get some free time, they spent all the time together with the bey battles, but she ran away in almost every meeting because she was afraid of the circus troupe notice that she was missing, always ending the battles without knowing who's the winner. A funny thing about their relationship, is the fact that Masamune was the only one able to talk with her. Kameri is Japanese, so that means she doesn't know how to speak English. She was a bit glad for having someone who she could talk, and be herself. He was the only one able to help her while the Starian Circus was in America.

However, when they started to go to the Dungeon Gym, things started to change. First of all, Kameri was happy to meet new bladers, but she was embarassed for being the only girl in that place. Also, she couldn't speak to any of them. Again, Masamune was by her side to help (and thanks to him, Kameri met Toby and Zeo as well). Kameri's unique blading style and the way she looks on the battles made all of them amazed, especially Masamune, and one of his best friends, Zeo. However, when Kameri noticed that her two new friends were trying to get close to her, Kameri ran away again. She wasn't able to deal with her feelings (she was actually hiding a little crush on Masamune), and she didn't want to lose her friends because of a choice she would probably be forced to make.


Then, Kameri returned to Japan, looking for her soul-sister Sahara to get some advice. She wouldn't expect that Masamune was chasing her in secret, just to apologize. All the things that happened in America, was because of his actions. He asked for the help of his best friends, because he wasn't able to talk directly with Kameri, about inviting her to go on a date, since he doesn't know a single thing about relationships. Things went downhill and she left his friends in a little time. Kameri thought she was able to forget him, but she was wrong. After a long conversation, and a lot of persistence, she apologized him, and even accepted him as a new member of her team, the Black Mirage (aware of the reactions of her teammates). But Kameri realized that Masamune was worthy of being a person to trust, and remembered all the time they spent together. That's the moment when Kameri's feelings start to blossom. They would confess their feelings towards each other after Kameri's battle with Ashuria. Masamune felt guilty for being unable to protect her, and Kameri wanted to proof to him that she wasn't weak. It took a while for Kameri though, since she never experienced love in her entire life, due to her trust issues.






Likes:


Crowds – Since Kameri’s life focused on being part of a circus troupe, nothing can make her more satisfied than being surrounded by a crowd. In the middle of a show or even in a beystadium, hear people yelling  Kameri’s name is just outstanding for her.

Being the center of attention –  For Kameri, everything is like a show, especially if she’s the main star. So, she always catch all the spotlights. And she likes it a lot.

Colorful things – For a girl who dresses herself with a lot of rainbow patterns, it’s kinda obvious that she likes all of the colors! Even if it’s based on an experience that Kameri had. She was used to see the world without colors. But when she discovered her connection with Chameleon, she saw all of them, and the world around her, full of life.

Cheerful bladers –  Even it was hard to accept that in the beginning due to her bad experiences with the bey battles (she was never defeated until one decisive battle who made Kameri’s confidence disappear), she started to like bladers with a friendly spirit, especially the one who changed her mind about being obsessed to win.

Good challenges –  Kameri always look for new opponents to test her skills despite her low self-esteem. Also this can be related to the things she does in the circus. New magic tricks, more acrobatics and so on. She can be fearless if she wants to.

Starry skies – She believes that looking at the sky at night can calm her down in a tough moment. Since she doesn’t have much things to do out of the circus, she spends her free time looking at the stars, even forgetting about rest a little bit.

Anything related to circus – The circus is literally her home. So she loves every single thing about it. The fireworks, the people who enjoy her show… Everything.

Jewels –  Mostly for fashion reasons, Kameri likes a lot of jewels, especially the ones with gems. She uses 3 crystals, but always wanted to collect more. She has a collection of Zircons, though.

Japanese sweets –  It’s kind of a secret, but Kameri eats a lot, and mostly sweets. The Japanese ones are her favourites, though. She likes Dangos and Manjuus. However, recently she got addicted by sour candies.

Play tricks – Kameri is an illusionist too. So she likes to do that with almost everyone (Tsubasa is her main “victim”, though). She does that to make people smile, even if it isn’t that funny for the one who fall to Kameri’s tricks. She even tried to do the magic trick of “cutting a man in half” using a chainsaw, and Masamune was her “test subject”. Obviously he ran away before she tried to complete her trick.




Dislikes:

Cold places –  It’s unknown why Kameri doesn’t like those kind of places and even the winter. Some people say that it’s because a circus cannot stay on a place surrounded by the snow. It’s just a gossip, though.

Bullies – She would never tolerate people who are mean with other just for fun or because they’re trying to look strong by humiliating other people. She hates bullies and believes that the ones who do that are just awful.

Being alone – It’s mostly based on her trust issues. She feels like everyone will leave her behind, even if it isn’t true.

Kyoya – Simply because he’s Kameri’s rival, and the first powerful blader she ever met. In the middle of her travels, she heard about a blader with a “wild spirit”. Feeling challenged, she found a way to drag him into the circus and convinced him to battle against her. However, she lost, and was completely humiliated. The worst part was, her defeat was in front of her fans, who knew that Kameri never had lost a battle. So, she lost the trust of her crowd. Kameri was decided to make her vengeance against the King of Beasts, with a promise that she will defeat him when they meet again.

Silence – Since she’s from the circus, this is kind of a fear.  She’s used with loud places and with the applause of the people surrounding her, so stay in a place where she’s not able to hear a single sound is terrifying.

Coffee –  Kameri just can’t drink coffee. That’s kinda ironic because her soul-sister (Sahara) loves it and when she can, spend some time on her aunt’s coffee shop. Sahara always make jokes with her and says that she could drink tea, instead.

Distractions – Despite her personality, Kameri’s concentration is almost untouchable. It’s part of her training too, so she hates when people try to distract her.



Strengths:

•  Talented;
  
•  Protective;
  
•  Persuasive;
  
•  Extremely loyal;
  
•  Able to make everyone smile;
  
•  Friendly;
  
•  Smart; (Mostly about tricks, because she knows how to make and avoid 'em)
•  Supportive.

Weaknesses:

•  Indecisive;
  
•  A bit doubtful;
  
•  Extremely stubborn;
•  Over-confident;
  
•  Low self-esteem;
  
•  Sore loser;
  
•  Locked feelings; (Kameri doesn't like to demonstrate certain emotions to avoid looking "weak")
  
•  Trust issues.
  

Kameri's greatest strength is clearly the way she cares about the few ones she loves. It isn't an easy task to gain her confidence, but if people succeed to gain her friendship (at least in the beginning), Kameri won't think twice to do everything , just to make her friends happy, no matter what. She would probably play some tricks as usual, because it's stronger than her.

Her worst weakness is definetly her expectations. Kameri was training since she was a child, so she wanted to be rewarded for her efforts. In fact, she felt satisfied for being the main star of the circus, however, with this title, Kameri also gained a tough responsability. Because of that, she keeps thinking about how people would react at her show, constantly creating expectations. Then, she would never forgive herself if she makes a mistake. Kameri thinks that people will look at her with "bad eyes" if she fails. It's a bit ironic due the first feature of her personality, being extremely sassy and over-confident. This is just a "mask" who actually hides Kameri's true emotions.

Fears:  First of all, Kameri has a fear of silence. She doesn't know exactly why, but since she got used to the circus, and the crowd surrounding her, staying in a place without being able to hear a single thing is simply awful.

Another fear she has, is directly related to her feelings. Simply put, Kameri has a fear of falling in love. Since the beginning, she thinks that love is a feeling that make people weak (mostly about relationships), and since she already looks at herself at a weak person despite her happy personality, Kameri makes sure that she'll never fall in love, no matter how hard people try to convince her that her thoughts are wrong. Also, she doesn't believe in "love at first sight", because of her problems with trust.



Hobbies:  Kameri doesn’t have any other hobbies, maybe because her main hobby is actually her occupation. However, she likes to learn new magic tricks and she uses the things she learned against her friends. Kameri feels really happy when she succeeds, too. But on other side, she’s a great dancer. While listening to a certain kind of music, Kameri reveals some new skills. Another hobby Kameri has, that can be also related as a "talent", is about baking various types of pies. Since it's her favorite food, she was practicing how to bake them since she was a child. Later on, she used the pies on an extra trick in the circus, also having a very special target.


Personality: At the first sight, Kameri is extremely cheerful and sassy. She's a circus star, so she always like to get the spotlight and catch everyone's attention. On other side, Kameri has trust issues, she rarely trust on someone, no matter how hard she tries. But despite this, she is very protective, and will do everything to make the people she care about, to smile. She grew up in a place when everyone tries to make people smile, and most important, be happy.

When if comes to friendship, it's very hard to others, to gain Kameri's confidence. However, if they succeed, Kameri can be extremely protective, and will not think twice to play tricks with her friends. It's a way to show them that Kameri cares about them, and want to share happiness. Even if Kameri cannot be happy by herself, if she's able to make people happy, that's enough.

But the point is, Kameri is a natural trickster. In fact, this is the most notable trait of her personality. Sometimes it can be a bad thing, but she thinks that's a good way to entertain her crowd, and people she trusts as well. Despite that, Kameri has some problems when it comes to other types of feelings. Kameri usually thinks that she's the best, and no one would be able to surpass her, but the truth is, she isn't. Her over-confidence can be both helpful and annoying at the same time.

An interesting thing, and even a bit funny, is the fact that Kameri doesn't believe in love. When questioned about this (mostly by Sahara), Kameri always find a way to avoid it. She thinks that love is useless, and makes her look weak, more than she already is, maybe because Kameri is a sore loser, sometimes. But when she starts to give a chance to other people (and another one to herself), she noticed a few changes, especially after she met Masamune. They became friends, but their relationship started to grow in a way she couldn't expect. Unable to deal with her feelings, and with a fear of being in love with her close friend, she ran away. That's why Kameri always feel embarassed when people ask her anything about love and relationships. She doesn't know how to deal with all of these things, so Kameri reveals another side, a naive and even a bit clumsy girl.





Backstory:


The Starian Circus is known as the most famous circus troupe in ascension, because of one special member, an illusionist and acrobat known as “The Wonderful Kameri”. She is more than an unusual circus star. Kameri Ayane was also a blader, and the  name of the circus gained strength due to her bey battles, always like a show to please her crowd. Even so, her past is sad and still hides some secrets. She doesn’t know about her origins or her real parents, because Kameri was left alone when she was a baby. The leader of the circus troupe found her and decided to adopt the litte girl, who was crying constantly. He noticed that she was holding something, an unique bey. Seeing potential on her, he named the girl with a similar name that he saw on the facebolt of her bey: “Kameri”, a resemblance to “Chamaeleon”. Kameri grew up in the circus, and started her training when she was 5 years old. She spent her childhood with the bey battles, also learning how to make people smile with a good show. Time passed and Kameri turned into the main star of the circus, the most notable member of the troupe. She likes to challenge good bladers to entertain her crowd, her main act. However, when she battled against Kyoya, she lost, and was completely humiliated by him. Losing the confidence of her fans, she saw that defeat as a monster, and thought that she would never be able to regain her status. Her self-esteem decayed a lot, but the Starian Circus kept travelling.

When the troupe stopped on England, she met a group of bladers, known as the “England Gang”. But one of them catched her attention, the only one, that Kameri was sure of one thing. She wasn’t European like the others. So, Kameri met Sahara Yuko, a calm girl with a lot of secrets, just like her. However, the reason why Kameri approached Sahara, was simple. The purple-haired girl had a connection with Kyoya, so in the beginning Kameri tried to use her to reach her rival, to get her revenge. But after knowing about Sahara’s story, she felt extremely guilty, and changed her mind. Kameri’s decision turned Sahara into her best friend. More than a friend, like a sister she never had.

Kameri was still suffering because her attempts to recover the trust of her fans, were in vain. Even if she defeated one of Sahara’s friends, it wasn’t good enough. She was in need of a big challenge, the same level as the one who ruined her reputation. So, she said goodbye to her new soul-sister, with a promise that she would return, and the circus troupe kept travelling, until they finally arrived on America. Kameri felt extremely surprised, because she never saw a place like that before. A place with a lot of people, and that means… If the circus is in town, a lot of people would come to see the show. Kameri saw that as a perfect chance to her comeback, her redemption. Then, some gossips about the Starian Circus started to be heard on the streets.  And the same gossips catched the attention of one special blader, Masamune Kadoya. Moved by his curiosity, he went into the circus, trying to figure it out, why that show was so special. Then, the show on the circus began. Fireworks, clowns, magic tricks… Things that usually can be seen on a place like that. But the main star was about to begin her show. The black-haired boy noticed that she wasn’t an ordinary circus performer, despite her introduction, with illusions and some acrobatics.

Kameri was just preparing herself to her main act. When she saw a giant tape falling slowly by her side, she knew that the moment was close. She climbed on the tape, showing her unique strength, and crossed her legs, wrapping them on the tape. And after a few fireworks, a bey stadium appeared above her. While she was upside-down and hanging on a tape, Kameri took her launcher while her bey was already on her left hand, and with incredible speed and precision, she launched her bey into the stadium. It started to shine while spinning, covering the stadium with the seven colors of the rainbow. That was her real entrance, and with that, she was looking for her next challenge. She didn’t noticed, but the fact the she was a blader made Masamune feel really surprised. When Kameri asked for someone to battle with her, he offered himself instantly. Kameri never had seen that strange guy before, but she accepted. Kameri was determined to win.

The battle started, and Kameri knew that Masamune wasn’t an ordinary opponent. But somehow, he was different than her rival. Something wasn’t right on that battle, because she instantly remembered about her first defeat. The same difficulties, being unable to revert the situation… For the first time, Kameri showed anger. She was decided to not being defeated again, to not losing her best chance… And most important of all… To never disappoint her crowd once again.

Her opponent noticed that she wasn't being herself, that cheerful girl now covered by a huge desire to win, no matter what. But that anger was her weakness too, because Kameri lost that battle. The chance of being famous once again… Ruined. So, Kameri looked at her bey, panicked by that defeat. She laid on her knees and started to cry with despair, because she lost her best chance. However, Kameri  definetly wasn’t expecting the next words of her opponent, who gave a hand to her, just to help her to get up.



“You were amazing! Don’t be sad… Come on, Kameri… The show must go on!”



She felt surprised with Masamune’s words. Kameri never felt like that before, being helped by someone… And even know that her new opponent said, she gained his respect. That moment was really touching, and the crowd started to applaud them. Kameri wasn’t believing on what was happening on that moment, but her heart was filled with joy.



“It was a good battle… And all thanks to you!”



Even defeated, Kameri recovered her status. Her fans were trusting her again, and thanks to that battle, she gained a name that made her famous once again: “Rainbow Star”. Kameri and Masamune became friends and then he started to go to the circus more often. One day, he had an idea to bring Kameri into a very special place. She refused at the first sight, saying that she was really busy on the circus, but he convinced her to change her mind with some ease. He said that Kameri was in need to meet new bladers, since he wanted to show to his friends, about finding an awesome blader. So, they went to the Dungeon Gym. Kameri felt a bit embarrassed because she was the only girl on that place. But she left her shyness behind when she was challenged again. Her first opponents were kinda easy to defeat, so Masamune suggested something else. To challenge his best friends and team partners, Zeo and Toby, who were waiting on another place. She accepted, and even challenged them to a 2x1 battle. Perhaps Kameri was a bit overconfident, but she was happy.



“The rules are simple. If I bounce one bey out of the stadium, I win. And since Masamune already battled against me… He cannot help you.”



Kameri saw the results of her efforts, and won the battle after striking Zeo’s bey with Chameleon’s special move, the “Great Rainbow Arrow”. However, winning a battle after all those bad experiences in the past made Kameri feel shocked. She wasn’t believing on her victory, and started to feel desperated again. She could win after a long time, but still… Unable to defeat the one who destroyed her reputation. Kameri ran away, leaving her new friends worried, especially Masamune.

He chased her and asked why Kameri was acting so strange. She wasn’t able to answer, because she was too panicked to say everything. Then, Masamune convinced her to talk about what happened with her in the past, and discovered about her incident with Kyoya. He tried to show a new way to battle, and the circus girl wasn’t sure yet, because she wasn’t trusting her new friend completely.



“What’s wrong with this guy…? Why he cares about me???”



Spending some days with new friends made Kameri change a little. Even after all the things that happened, she felt happy once again. She wanted to stay on that place forever but sadly, the circus troupe were about to leave the town. Kameri was enjoying those moments so much, that she forgot her own duties. So, she bid farewell to her new friends and took a picture, keeping it as a good memory.



“I’ll be back, guys… I promise.”




Kameri discovered that the circus was returning to Japan, so she just realized something. Sahara, her beloved soul-sister, had returned to her country, so she saw a perfect opportunity. The circus girl also knew that a tournament was approaching, so Kameri was in need to make a team. She met Sahara again and talked about her new idea. Despite her condition, Sahara accepted, and made an advice, that they would need other two members. Kameri asked about Sahara’s friends from Europe, but Sahara replied, that she already found another member. When Kameri saw the one what Sahara was talking about, she was shocked. A mix of feelings, anger and surprise, when she saw the man who stood up in front of her.

“It can’t be… Kyoya…!!!”

Theme Songs: 

General facts:

- Despite her sassiness, she actually has a weak side. Of course, Kameri tries to hide it, but just a few people can see it.

- She's a circus star, and got used to the fame, but Kameri doesn't have any friends. Even if the people in the circus are the closest meaning of family for her, she doesn't know the meaning of friendship. Also Kameri doesn't believe in love, due to her problems with trust. She usually says that love is useless and isn't the main reason to live. And she kept this until she meets Masamune.

- Never call Kameri a clown. Even if she's from the circus, she hates to be called like that.

- Kameri is addicted to sour candies. Don't even try to do the pocky game with her, because she thinks this is extremely predictable.

- Since Kameri is Japanese, she wasn't able to speak another language, but after spending some time in America, she managed to speak English as well (with a cute accent). The first word she learned was "silly", and she calls Masamune like that all the time.

- Also, Kameri found a previous nickname for Masamune as well. She usually calls him "Aho-mune". Simply put, she's calling him a fool or idiot, but Kameri only says that when she's angry.

- She can be fearless most of the time, but Kameri has a huge aversion of frogs. 

- Even without knowing her past (at least, completely), Kameri knows about being a far descendant of the Ainu tribe. The Ainu are known for being defenders of nature, and for having a bond with it. Also, they were raised in Hokkaido, the place where Kameri was born. She found more clues about it after her first meeting with Ashuria. 

- Kameri doesn't like the winter because it's related to her origins. Hokkaido is known as a region of intense winter. She still doesn't have memories about her true past, but the winter affects her somehow.

- Kept as a secret for some time (actually, a few years), Kameri has a second bey, Spectra Chameleon. There's a few things hidden about the origins of this bey, but all the info found, was about being a connection between the Saiyou sisters. This is also related to Kameri changing her surname when she becomes an adult.

- In the Shogun Steel/Zero-G era, Kameri adopted her birth surname. Then, everybody passed to know her as Kameri Saiyou.

- Even if Kameri's build is a bit muscular, she rarely eats healthy food. Since she was raised in the circus, Kameri ate a lot of candies during her childhood. Also, she likes junk food a lot.

- Kameri has a lot of problems when it comes to sleep or even get some rest. When she's not into intense physical activity, her whole body aches, due to her constant training in the circus. Then, she avoids to sleep as much as she can, even if she knows that staying awake for a long time isn't healthy.

- Since she's part of a circus troupe, Kameri doesn't have a proper home. However, she lives on a trailer. It's easy to travel to a lot of places while having a "moving home". That's why she feels a bit uncomfortable in other places, like a hotel. Kameri thinks that her little trailer is the best definition of home, since she can carry all the stuff she has, with herself.

- She's in charge of taking care of the animals from the Starian Circus. Kameri feeds them, and even helps with bathing. Despite a lot of them being of the wild (like a lion and some monkeys), they were animals that the troupe found in the middle of their travels, probably wounded or in danger, unable to survive in their natural habitat. Kameri has a bond with all of them, since she loves to take care of the animals, feeling that they love her too. Her protective nature towards the ones who live in the wild, a part of nature, becomes of her Ainu descendance.

- Kameri is like a "leader" in the eyes of the other members (even when she isn't), so everybody follow her steps. Especially when it comes to protect and take care of the animals. Circuses are known for treating animals so badly, but Kameri wanted to change that, so she started to give another meaning to the circus. It's literally a place who can bring happiness to everyone watching the show, along with the performers themselves.



Trivia:

• Kameri is inspired by Saria, from Legend of Zelda. The Lost Woods theme is my favorite when I'm drawing her.

• Her surname was supposed to be "Ibuki".

• Ironically, her concept came from a dream. Since the Chameleon-bey to her appearance. The circus stuff was added kinda by accident.

• She was supposed to be a villain, because of her backstory with Kyoya, but due to her personality, this concept was changed. Also it's unknown if she's able to get a rematch with the lion boy.

• Kameri's love interest was supposed to be Zeo instead of Masamune. However, I couldn't leave the idea behind and made an alternative ship based on her backstory. Think about a little crush.

• Speaking of Zeo, he actually "stole" Kameri's first kiss.

• Every single outfit for Kameri must have a rainbow pattern. Even if it's just a detail, rainbows are like her trademark.
