Name: Ueno Aya
Age: 17 years
Race: Karasu Tengu
Appearance:
Height: 166 cm |
Weight: 56 kg
Abilities: All tengu are born martial arts masters, in fact their race is attributed to the foundations of ninjutsu, among many others. Tengu have superhuman agility and senses, which are sharpened by age, but even the youngest tengu are as skilled as a human with twice, or more, their age.
Tengu are also, like many other youkai, masters of subterfuge and trickery, they can imitate nearly any sound, including human voices, that they ever heard, shapeshift into ravens or a fully human disguise and hide their presence up until the moment they decide to attack. These abilities allow tengu to effectively haunt and deceive anyone who trespasses at their mountain homes.
Lastly, but not least, tengu are also known for their power to manipulate the wind, the strongest and oldest are powerful enough to summon catastrophic storms out of the blue, which is often used to explain the fickleness of the weather on high mountains. However, a young one such as Aya can only create a strong breeze
Equipment: A pair of shirasaya katana (she usually carries them in a kendo bag, disguised as training swords), a folding fan, a smartphone, a small laptop, a handheld console, a very treasured jacket and a few personal belongings.
Personality: Aya, befitting her heritage, if very curious and playful. She also has a bit of a hoarder nature, especially if the target of her attraction are shiny objects, regardless of their value. Likewise, Aya is a big fan of fast things, like motorcycles, but she's not particularly into cars, because they lack the feeling of "being one with the wind." Lastly, she has a big interest on the internet and computers and gaming in general, including things like programing and design.
History: Being a very young member of her race, born on the modern world, Aya's story isn't specially grand or full of unexpected turns. The most interesting bits generally lie on her school life misadventures, like how she struggled to keep her wings hidden during kindergarten, eventually littering places with raven feathers that no one knew where they came from. Or, how she fell in love with the internet as soon as she got her first feature phone.
Probably the most memorable episode of her life up to this point was the time when she got involved with a teenager "biker gang", the jacket she treasure's so much is a gift she got from the gang's leader. Sad circumstances led the gang to be disbanded after a time, but Aya still keeps fond memories of that time.
