• Description

  Hair was long enough to touch high grass, and perfectly white, without the slightest evidence towards dyes, dirt, or even specks from errant breezes. It held a reflective property that wouldn't be seen, often.. When caught in bright enough light to give it a nice sheen, as normal hair would, instead of a brighter white, it'd show numerous pretty colors, much as a holographic card would, in a modern era. Bangs were nonexistent, in that her hair was tucked behind her hears, and combed back against her head, to show a slight widow's peak, and pale face. It's texture was also somewhat otherworldly, feeling wet or oiled, and very silken, while remaining perfectly dry. When wet, it seemed to dry as soon as it left the water, while flowing and floating about eerily, rather than sticking together like human hair would.
  
  Skin was a sort of pale you'd expect to see in an elfin lass, while looking very healthy, and full of life. To the touch, it was just as odd and smooth as her hair. Cutting her seemed impossible, as bladed weapons sparked as though skidding across another blade, despite her smooth complexion and frail, if feminine, body type. Not so much as a freckle or imperfection, from head to toe.
  
  Eyes were possibly the strangest thing about the apparently-young woman. Not only were they lacking pupils entirely, but the iris of each had all of ten sides! From the outside in, they seemed to just have one look: mirror-esque. Darkness or light, it made no difference.. even in eyes that saw a blurred, distorted world, those eyes were clear, out to flesh. Even in the blind, and in her shadow.. Yes, those eyes were special, besides being beautiful and strange to look at.
  
  She was very thin, less in a malnourished way, and more in a 'small' one. She was clearly of age, despite her height.. so, one could only assume that it was a stature she'd be stuck at, for a while. All was in proportion with her height. She had a semi-athletic build, layered onto her frail, girly-girl look. If anything, she looked like something of a.. princess, perhaps? Modest hips and bust, slight curves, and petite frame gave her a cute, and semi-appealing look. Not that she seemed to be looking for a suitor, in the first place.
  
  Clothing always, without fail, consisted of the same thing. Something like a shrine maiden outfit, set fully in.. black? That certainly changed the theme up a bit! Yes, with sleeves long enough to hide her hands to the tip of her fingers, flowing strips of that same fabric in black, with metal, silver tomoe, trailed down from the beginning to the end of that sleeve, almost long enough to touch the ground, and linked together with more of those commonly-seen symbols, to form the full tomoe circles in the order of fabric-linker-fabric, from sleeve's hem to underarm. A large tomoe, much like these, and also in metal, was stuck quite solidly to the back of the outfit, with a small ring-clamp sticking out from it's middle, in black metal. Feet and hands went bare. Belt was the only white part of the outfit, minus the metal pieces here and there.
  
  What that clamp was for would be obvious enough, once one spotted her weapon firmly stuck in place by it. An almost-oversized Gunbai, fan-section easily as wide as her torso.. though, it's decorative symbols were a bit misplaced? The mitsu-Tomoe that were placed all about her clothing were forgotten, on this Gunbai.. rather than the three-flamed symbol, these had two. One on the upper left side of the fan, near it's top, one on the lower right. If one looked closely enough, they'd note a small gap between where the fan connected to the handle, alongside a hinge-and-spiral mechanism, near the very tip-top of the fan-section. The handle itself was only about two feet long, but the indications of a transformation from war-fan to.. something else.. did leave room for wonder.

• A Purpose

  The three-flamed tomoe that adorns her clothing is a symbol for 'Humanity, Earth, and Heaven'. The two on her weapon symbolize 'Earth and Heaven', as an indication of her purpose. Her name translates to 'Seeking The End', though she has two names: Tankyu Owari, Seeking the End, and Tankyu Kaishi, Seeking the Beginning. Roughly, anyway. It's a basic form of Yin and Yang, positive and negative. Kaishi and Owari, two sides of one coin, all squished up into one body. In this merged state, she is very passive, and basically stands as a True Neutral, with a friendly-but-quiet personality. She works as a human would, setting up shop wherever she'd care to, her small, open-faced tea-booth just appearing seemingly out of thin air, whether in a forest or on a street's corner. She also tells fortunes, though it's more or less her reading one's memory, and telling them what they want to hear. She is very stable, when it comes to having a split personality. So, there'd be no need to worry about sudden lapses in sanity. Ahem.

• Abilities and Weaponry

  Abilities
  
  Walking flight(standing on air, and such)
  
  Materialization(Spellcards, items she owns, and Will o' Wisps, used as spell catalysts/outright attacks/help around the house. Nothing quite like a Blue Wisp stirring your tea, and serving you cookies!)
  
  Fire-Elemental Spellcards - Red burns the longest and hottest, Green is explosive and unstable, Blue is Spirit-Fire, used for the majority of her spells and defenses. Colors mix!
  
  Greatly Increased Strength(Compared to a normal human being)
  
  Greatly Increased Durability(Mostly to Piercing and Edged)
  
  Greatly Increased Speed(When facing a normal human, it'd seem like near-instant-movement)
  
  High Resistance to Edged(swords/arrows strike sparks on her bare flesh, no magic needed)
  
  Left Eye - Allows reading of minds/projection of thoughts(Can be resisted through mental conditioning)
  
  Right Eye - Reads body-language to detect lies, also has higher movement-reading ability than the left, to catch even the smallest tell. (Can be resisted easily, as it's just higher observational ability)
  
  Natural aura-reader(cannot be toggled, it's a feature of her eyes)
  
  Ageless
  
  Looking exceedingly cute, when her ears and tails are materialized? Not an ability, but worth mentioning - she works hard to look the way she does..!
  
  As she is a Greater Youkai, her Youkai features are hidden entirely, until she wants to make them known
  She is a Greater Kitsune Youkai - 14(seven for each half/twin) Tails - Feral Form-capable in two sizes, large-wolf-sized, or large-elephant sized - Fire Element - Aura is light-blue, to match her most commonly-used Wisp and Flame
  
  Mild telekinetic link with her Gunbai, allowing manipulation of it's blades when the fan section is disconnected from the handle. Not strong enough to pull the blade from a thick tree, if it gets stuck
  
  Weaponry
  
  Her Gunbai is two-in-one. A ceremonial War Fan that can be used to create extremely heavy winds, ranging from gusts to weak blades. Also used as a staff, as the fan-section can be detached. It's more serious, combat-based form is a large, crescent-shaped scythe. The fan section folds out, and locks into an upward-curved position. Blades are sharp enough to cleave a tree with little effort, coupled with her strength. Left blade scoots up to be higher than the right, and vice-versa, to act as a proper edged weapon, or a piercing weapon. Blades fold out as far as needed, ranging from neck-width to finger-width, to completely flat, for sweeping, glancing blows. Blade's tips are pointed, and curve inward. All parts of the fan disconnect and re-connect to and from one another, handle included, right in the middle. Makes for numerous different weapons, ranging from dual Kama-esque weapons to one large scythe, and so on.
  
  A Side Note
  Additionally, she does set up shop now and again, when she travels. She's a fan of teas, whether expensive or picked by hand. She'll buy, she'll sell, she'll share, and she'll drink tea with you! Cookies provided, if you're nice enough!
  
  Be wary, however. She is absolutely terrible at cooking.
  
  She is still in a heavy WIP-state. This is a character I've brought back from a while ago, and I have a lot to do with her! She is a semi-Touhou based character, for those that may be curious. And she has plenty of weaknesses, aside from her many strengths. One being that she's a lover, not a fighter. So to speak.
  
  This is a character I'm trying to bring back from over ten years ago, going off of old RP posts and memory. It'll take a while!
