Nationality: South African
City of Residence: Durban, South Africa
Languages: English, Afrikaans, Zulu (basic)
Occupation: Student (about to start at University of KwaZulu-Natal)

Duellist Biography: Hana Nasri began duelling in local tournaments at the age of twelve, both in Durban and the surrounding KwaZulu-Natal province. She became quickly sick of the stereotyping that regularly faces girls in Duel Monsters, and pointedly rejected the traditional fairy decks in favour of Darklords. Her fast and powerful approach to the game quickly earned her a formidable reputation, that eventually led to her becoming South African National Champion at fifteen, a title which she has continued to hold for three years running. She became African runner up at age eighteen, losing to Tunisian Champion Habiba Salih by a narrow margin. Known for her outgoing demeanour, Hana regularly uses her position to campaigns for women’s rights, and makes a point of befriending other female duellists that she meets in tournaments.

Character Spotlight: Koji Oku (Witches Wizards Shadows and Souls, Magic Monsters Dominions and Destiny)

I did say I'd do a few of these, and so here I am! These will be little insights into my OCs from fanfiction and my original work. Enjoy!

Name: Koji Oku
Age: 10
Nationality: Japanese
City of Residence: Osaka, Japan
Languages: Japanese, English
Occupation: Student (5th Grade at Toheki Elementary School)
Religion: None
Deck Type: Pyro lockdown
Titles Held: Honshu Junior champion. Japanese runner up. East Asian runner up.
Favourite Food: Dorayaki

Duellist Biography: A relative newcomer to international tournaments, Koji began to gain fame when he was eight and became one of the youngest competitors to make it to the final of the Japanese Nationals, where he lost to Joey Wheeler in the final round. Koji first got into Duel Monsters when he was six, when it was recommended by his teacher as a way of improving his arithmetic. After a few successful card shop tournaments, he entered his first professional tournament at age eight, claiming the title of Honshu Junior champion. His favourite monster is Solar Flare Dragon. Koji wants to carry on duelling in the future, though he says if that does not happen, he would like to be a presenter on Mythbusters.
