I am writing a sword art online fanfiction involving my own characters. The story is going to take place in the original Sword Art Online during the first ark. As those of you who know what SAO is, there is no magic in the first game. As such, I thought I would make a joke by having one of these two characters wear a wizard hat; however, I am having trouble deciding which one would be more fitting.
Name: Leaf
Backstory: He’s a 15 year old American tourist who went to Japan with his Father; who was on a business trip. While there, he decided he would try the brand new Sword Art Online, virtual reality MMO; and ended up getting trapped in the game like everyone else.
After a year long time skip. He is shown to have become a highly successful thief within the game. His basic MO is to hit his targets with paralysis poison, open a trade window, take their stuff, then drop them off at a “safe spot” near town. Despite being a non-PKer he has an unusually high bounty that even rivals some of the lesser Laughing Coffin members.
Appearance: He is described as being lightly built, with medium length jet black hair and dark brown eyes, and tanned skin.
Personality: He is a complete jackass and even admits to being a narcissist. Throughout the story, he shows a very snarky and sarcastic sense of humor. He is also shown to have very loose morals, and even resorts to using trickery to get ahead within the game.
Combat Abilities: Unlike most players, Leaf has focused his stats on his speed and evasion, rather than actual combat. He has completely maxed out his hiding ability which in combination with a special item; he is even able to hide from characters that have top perception. Preferring ranged abilities over melee, he has invested a large amount of points in his throwing skill; and is especially good with poisoned daggers.
His absolute best ability however, is his alchemy. Leaf spends much of his time running experiments, and trying to perfect different formulas. As a result, he holds a number of gadgets such as; smoke bombs, flash bombs, flammable liquids, poisons, and so on.

Name: Raisa
Backstory: She is a spunky 17 year old girl, and a major detective sloof. As was one of the top beta testers in the game, she has used her extensive knowledge of the game in order to get ahead of other players. She had initially joined the game along with her younger brother; however, due to her own overconfidence, he had been killed during an ambush by Laughing Coffin. She herself only survived only through the intervention of Kirito who had stumbled upon the event by chance. Since then, she has become a legendary bounty hunter; and has taken it upon herself to hunt down and exterminate as many PKs as she can, especially those affiliated with Laughing Coffin.
Appearance: She is described a medium height teenager, with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. Her in game attire consists of a blood red armored dress, which along with her weapon of choice, has earned her nicknames such as; the Scarlet Maiden, and the Crimson Reaper.
Personality: She is described as extremely eccentric, and has used her detective level deductive reasoning skills to track down and kill; high ranking members of PK and bandit guilds, on several occasions. What she prides herself most on, however; is her combat abilities, and has even claimed to be the best female player in the game; despite it being well known that she had lost a duel with Asuna from the Knights of Blood.
When first meeting Leaf, she initially had a very low opinion of his abilities. Since then however, she has developed an almost obsessive goal of capturing him; as she considers him the only other player resourceful enough to keep up with her. Leaf has accused her on several occasions of being a tsundere, but she has firmly denied it.
Combat Abilities: Her fight style is described as aggressive and unpredictable. She utilizes a long scythe like pole arm, which she uses to hook and disarm her opponents. Her special attack is what she has dubbed; the “scythe dance”, which makes use of wide ranged spinning motions that allow her to attack and defend at the same time.
