Finally managed to get a CS done! [s]its late so I may have fucked up big time with backstory and spell checking[/s] [hider=Kagura] [center] [img]https://67.media.tumblr.com/a8100459f4d1d6dc830e7edc112d29e5/tumblr_nrcdzt1nAB1qdpo2no3_500.gif[/img] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjg4LmZmMWEzYy5TMkZuZFhKaC4wAAA,/trash-zydego.regular.png[/img] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjQwLmY4MGQzYS5WR2hsSUhCbFlXTnZZMnNnWkdGdVkybHVaeUJoYlc5dVozTjBJSFJvWlNCaGRYUjFiVzRnYkdWaGRtVnouMAAAAA,,/trash-zydego.regular.png[/img] [/center] [colour=#FF3344][b]:Name:[/b][/colour] [i]Kagura - she's only ever known her true name to be this.[/i] [colour=#FF3344][b]:Age:[/b][/colour] [i]25[/i] [colour=#FF3344][b]:Totem:[/b][/colour] [i]Peacock[/i] [colour=#FF3344][b]:Appearance:[/b][/colour] [i]Kagura is quite the striking individual, looks and personality wise. She's been called names often associated with the word red (or anything similar of the sort) for as long as she can remember; having a head of wavy crimson hair and amber eyes doesn't help when you're trying to blend into a crowd. Her lithe and tall build come as a surprise to many, as she stands a head or a half taller than the average woman. If it weren't for the kimono, Kagura could be mistaken for a feminine featured man any day. But despite her outwardly appearances, she has a very strong and flexible body, her years training as a dancer under her carers paying off quite well. Kagura doesn't wear much else other than her simplistic dark grey kimono with red lining on the bottom of the sleeves and the kimono itself. She often wears a hooded cloak too, though it's noticeably thin due to her inability to stand hot weather.[/i] [colour=#FF3344][b]:Personality:[/b][/colour] [i]Just like the hair on her head, Kagura is a fiery and confident individual, unafraid to speak her mind whenever. Brutally honest to the core, she doesn't know how to sugarcoat her words, so if it's a truthful opinion you want it's a truthful opinion you'll get. Her confidence comes with her almost child-like sense for adventure and excitement; an adrenaline junkie, if you will. While at times Kagura can be as laid back and easy going as any other mature twenty-five year old, once you get the hype and excitement pumping through her veins, the relaxed woman persona goes flying out of the window. Being as adventurous and carefree as she is, Kagura can have a bit of mischievous side... A simple warning for any future companions. Sarcastic. A word Kagura is also often called, only a slot below the various shades of red she's been named over the years. It's a bit difficult to tell whether the woman's lying or not due to her excessive sarcasm usage. It may have gotten to the point where people in general just can't tell if she's speaking the truth or if she's just being her usual self. You could see Kagura as the asshole who plays tricks for fun, gets herself into unnecessary dangers and is overall selfish; helping other people she isn't very familiar with isn't always her top priority. Or, you might see her as a fun loving human who's just a bit adventurous. Or you might see her as both. Either way, as long as you yourself don't get on her nerves, she really doesn't give a shit.[/i] [colour=#FF3344][b]:History:[/b][/colour] [i]Kagura doesn't remember much of her early childhood. All that she knows is that in her early years she had been raised up by a group of female dancers that travelled from place to place performing for money; a group otherwise known as the Red Autumn Troupe. Renown for their unique and expressive dancing style utilising two fans, and their choice of kimono being exclusively red, the all-womens troupe brought the little girl up into their world of storytelling dance. It appeared that one of the members had realised the potential the red haired toddler possessed, and so the name 'Kagura' arose - 'God entertainment'. Sure enough, she was a talented little girl. By the age of six she was already performing with the rest of the troupe. Her talents did not only lie in dance, however. Travelling oh so often came with its few bandit ambushes, so the ladies were trained themselves in self defense with their own fans. In fact, the fans they wielded both in their performances and in combat were [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_fan]Tessen[/url], which proved useful for the women in such situations. Eventually, Kagura would come to learn of these fighting techniques for her own safety. Kagura was still by the troupe's side until her twenties, having gone through countless hours of dance practices and literal fan fighting. But that one night when an evening dance went wrong resulting in a raging Kagura and many injured men, things would turn for the worst for Kagura. Off to the jail cells it was for the red head, and off to the jail cells she would stay for a bit.[/i] [colour=#FF3344][b]:Strengths:[/b][/colour] [i]• [colour=FF3344]Tessenjutsu[/colour] - How could a fan possibly be useful in a fight? Well, give Kagura a strong fan with hard iron spokes and she'll find a way to disarm you and take you down in an instant. She's quick, she's flexible, and she can whack you with an object that feels like an iron baton to the face with great strength. While not a swordsman, her reflexes aren't short of one either. Kagura carries three red fans: one with normal iron spokes used mainly for hitting and performances, and two with [url=http://rs46.pbsrc.com/albums/f119/namiru/copyright%202/warfan%20steel/SDC12733.jpg?w=480&h=480&fit=clip]pointed spokes[/url] used to cut things up pretty badly. Kagura doesn't have much of a problem dual wielding two fans at the same time, nor does she have a problem dual wielding two fans like it's just a regular graceful performance. Only difference is that this is much faster, and Kagura is most likely out trying to get rid of you for good. • [colour=FF3344]Dancing In The Rise Of Dawn[/colour] - Based off traditional Japanese dancing utilising fans in their choreography, Kagura and the troupe she was previously with had come up with their own sort of style. The movements were slightly quicker, their red fans would be emphasised, and there was always a story to tell in each dance; but nevertheless, each dance must be executed with grace and sophistication. Kagura, being as young as she was when she was being taught, is now quite skilled in this art. • [colour=FF3344]In The Bushes[/colour] - Kagura is just very good at hiding. From the old bush to a sixty metre tree, finding a hiding place or rather getting to one is this woman's speciality. A game of hide and seek is no sweat for her; you probably won't be able to find her, even if she is hiding in the bushes behind where you were counting.[/i] [colour=#FF3344][b]:Weaknesses:[/b][/colour] [i]• [colour=FF3344]Zero Limits[/colour] - This can apply to a lot if things really. Kagura's adventurousness can often get the better of her, and her confidence can be interpreted as rude and impolite. Her anrgy moments are her also ugliest moments; stopping a raging red head isn't the easiest of tasks. Emotions just really turn the woman upside down a lot. • [colour=FF3344]Live Only For Yourself[/colour] - While she doesn't 'mind' getting herself into fights and such - since it was her own decision after all - Kagura tends to stray away from other people's problems. She's used to worrying about herself and only herself, even going as far as to trick those around her if the situation calls for it. Heck, she'll even run away if something uncalled for happened. Although she isn't completely lacking in compassion, if someone else has gotten into a fight she most likely won't go out and help the injured person.[/i] [colour=#FF3344][b]:Likes:[/b][/colour] [i]Give her a comfortable sleeping space and she'll shut up until she wakes up herself. Getting her out of bed won't be easy, the woman is a terribly heavy sleeper. Also, while some people point out her hair in a negative way, she takes pride in its colour, and even has her favourite colour as red. Dancing is a well practised hobby, and her singing isn't too shabby either.[/i] [colour=#FF3344][b]:Dislikes:[/b][/colour] [i]Hot weather is Kagura's true enemy. She despises the heat and she actually overheats quite quickly, so constant sweating is common. Spicy food is a straight up stay away sign for her too. Funnily enough, while she can stand little insects like ants and beetles, anything slimy like worms or slugs will earn you one hell of a squeal.[/i] [centre][youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FBVDJnUL8M8[/youtube][/centre] [centre][img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/1492efc3084b9fbb816486d533678d28/tumblr_nudwhynFlB1u2ohkzo1_400.gif[/img][/centre] [/hider]
