Age: (depends) Standard appearance: 29

Gender: Female
Master: Mr Culler (Paul)
Noble Phantasm: Fukutsu no ketsui
Unyielding Determination is the name of her sword, decapitations and slaying of hundreds over the blade. It's a katana, albeit a bit over sized. The casing is made out of hardened and honed wood, enchantments and prayers weaved into it make it a rather unbreakable item. This is where the blade is stored when it isn't being used to draw blood. A viable blocking tactic on its own, it's a formidable object.

The blade itself has seen the blood of many people, hundreds if not thousands of people. it's been responsible of the decapitation of a number of enemies. It was said to slice the very air, even being out of reach of the target with its metal, it causes the slashes to travel more than two meters away from the blade through the air and retaining the original sharp cutting edge. The sword is also bound to her, incapable of being taken from her more than a minute. If left somewhere, it shall appear at her left waist or in her left hand. She sleeps with it clutched in her grasp, awakening if it's taken from her. 

If held out infront of the sword, the case will become a yumi and the sword will turn into an arrow that appears anew with each draw of the bow string. However, all of the fired arrows disappear when the sword and sheath return to their original states. This form counts as the sword being drawn.

[hider=Mad Enhancement]
Mad Enhancement: due to her beserker class, she has inherited the mad enhancement skill/curse. It is not obvious by looking at her that she has it. However, when she unsheathes her sword, she gets serious and the mad enhancement swings into full effect. The woman undergoes a transformation to a younger appearance. This is bringing her back to her younger years roughly at the age of sixteen and more active combat times, as opposed to her older and combat retired years as she normally appears as. Her durability gets tougher, reaction times get faster and her strength goes up.

 However, she is difficult to control in this state as she treats most everything like a game and if she finds something she wants to prove herself at, she will go overboard in attempting to do so. Toying with her opponents and being cocky come with the territory as well, leading to many refused orders and a desire to prove her abilities against whatever she chooses. This also causes a significant drain on the user while active as well.

she gains access to a second sword, this one just a normal sword, when transformed.

Secondary phantasm: veteran battle spirit:
Duel her lifestyle and many years of fightng and practice as a samurai, she is capable of closing her eyes and utilizing her spirit to increase her abilities, making her reaction times quicker and making her perception of the world more clear around herself in a roughly ten meter area. She has the abilities to utilize this as many times as she wishes and for as log as her body can handle the strain put on it. If used for too long, the mana draw can physically harm her master (causing horrible headaches and General stress on the body that usually results in bruising.) and exhaust her, leaving her vulnerable.

Dueling callout: Has the ability to pick out a target and call them out to a duel. This would create a room of a 15 meters across square, giving a six meter ceiling to it as a pagoda. Tomoe can call it off at will, but is inescapable to the opponent unless tomoe dispells it or leaves the pagoda. Initial investment only required for the pagoda to be brought into play with magic.

Horse Rider: Has the ability to call forth a horse from out of site to herself and ride it as if it were broken in. Can also call her own warhorse into battle, plated in armor, faster and stronger than the average ones she can summon. If the war horse is killed, she loses it for the rest of the war, however it can be de-summoned when not in combat.

Prayer beads of a true Buddhist: Large prayer beads can be summoned at any Buddhist place of worship, comprising of twenty of these beads. She can heal minor wounds with one bead being used, turning it from white to black. Major wounds using five beads. All start white and as they're used up, they turn from white to black.

Skills:

Head Hunter: Due to her history and habit for taking heads like people take shots in a bar, Tomoe can uniquely call out an opponent and claim that she shall take her head. Against them, her attacks are stronger and she appears to move faster, all accompanied by an initial vision of their head rolling away from their body when she calls them out.

A Warrior worth a thousand: Due to her legendary nature, her drain on her master, regardless of form, tends to decline over time spend draining. Whenever she changes forms or increases her drainage through a skill being activated or phantasm being used, it resets back to the original drain then draining once more. This lowering of the drainage is a slow effect, taking a full day to half the drainage and another day to half that.It does NOT affect her performance, allowing her to keep up the stamina and fight a battle that would normally take a thousand.

Hunter of the mythos: Beliefs of her skill and abilities by many and celebrated throughout history as high caliber, being described as demon and god slaying caliber has led her to manifesting the ability to ignore any mental influence (anything that could negatively affect her state of mind, magical or physically displayed to her) and gives her a slight damage buff when facing enemies that could be classified as god or demons. (wounds tend to be nastier and bleed for longer)

A pretty face: Her natural beauty has led to her having a natural charm with people, increasing her effects of trying to convince people of ideas and proposals. An increase to her charisma.


Appearance: 
“Tomoe was especially beautiful, with white skin, long hair, and charming features. She was also a remarkably strong archer, and as a swordswoman she was a warrior worth a thousand, ready to confront a demon or a god, mounted or on foot. She handled unbroken horses with superb skill; she rode unscathed down perilous descents. Whenever a battle was imminent, Yoshinaka sent her out as his first captain, equipped with strong armor, an oversized sword, and a mighty bow; and she performed more deeds of valor than any of his other warriors.

Personality: Normally, she is very calm and cool headed, happy to smile and laugh when jokes are told and does tend to care about those who are her superiors, almost always listening to them on an level, but also offering her own input and opinions on the actions of her master. Many would easily find her rather like able and kind.

Short Biography:
Short version: Tomoe Gozen, was a late twelfth-century female samurai warrior (onna bugeisha), known for her bravery and strength. She fought in and survived the Genpei War

Longer and most notable portions of history (aka, what we know): 
After defeating the Taira and driving them into the western provinces, Minamoto no Yoshinaka (Tomoe's master) took Kyoto and desired to be the leader of the Minamoto clan. His cousin Yoritomo was prompted to crush Yoshinaka, and sent his brothers Yoshitsune and Noriyori to kill him. Yoshinaka fought Yoritomo's forces at the Battle of Awazu on February 21, 1184, where Tomoe Gozen purportedly took at least one head of the enemy. Although Yoshinaka's troops fought bravely, they were outnumbered and overwhelmed. When Yoshinaka was defeated there, with only a few of his soldiers standing, he told Tomoe Gozen to flee because he wanted to die with his foster brother Imai no Shiro Kanehira and he said that he would be ashamed if he died with a woman.

There are varied accounts of what followed. At Battle of Awazu in 1184, she is known for beheading Honda no Moroshige of Musashi. She is also known for having killed Uchida Ieyoshi and for escaping capture by Hatakeyama Shigetada. It is also said that she was defeated by Wada Yoshimori and became his wife, giving up the sword in the process. After Wada died, she became a nun in Echizen. 

Other: while one of the more level headed beserkers to have appeared, this doesn't mean she can't fight without drawing her sword. Her skills are retained and she is extremely capable with her use of the sheathed blade as a blunt weapon.  Her vows to drop the sword and unwillingness to fight have led her to be viewed as a weaker warrior to summon, only really acting in self defense or by her own sense of what is right or wrong in the world. Not her lack of skills or abilities, but her unwillingness to use them is what her flaw and weakness is.


Drainage on master: 
Sheathed sword: a barely noticeable trickle
Unsheathed sword: significant drain
