[b][u]Personality[/u][/b]: [i]Ryuuko is a calm, polite and caring individual so long as she doesn't succumb to her Kekkai Genkai. When she is affected by a Battle Trance, her alter ego takes over and she changes into a cruel, heartless woman who will carelessly discard any life that isn't her own. She is a pacifist by nature, but feels a protective instinct for others around her, one that will lead her to protect them with all of her strength when necessary. She trains more as a form of meditation than for the sake of combat, a fact that shows very strongly in her relaxed and level-headed demeanour during the heat of combat. She feels a sort of debt towards her village for allowing her to vent her alter ego's blood lust on missions, as otherwise she might be forced to take innocent lives in order to sate the Blue-eyed Demon's hunger.

While there are ordinarily special circumstances that trigger her Battle Trance, simply feeling blood lust is enough to jolt her alter ego into position, on the rare occasion that she experiences such feelings. Compared to her normal state, her alter ego is a vicious, hot-headed killer who makes it her duty to defy death at all costs, while spreading as much death to her enemies as she can and accomplishing her goals when it interests her. She's sadistic, brutally focused on her goals and virtually impossible to deter through any conceivable means. It makes one wonder what kind of monster Ryuuko's ancestor must have been, to slay such a foe in single combat...[/i]

[I][U]Theme Song[/U][/I]:

=========================================
[b][u]Weapons/Items[/u][/b]:[hider=Equipment][i]Small number of Shuriken
One smoke bomb, carried with her at almost all times
A small charm containing fond memories

[u]"Yuuko"[/u]
A knife that, while passed down alongside Ao, has no relation to the Curse. Still, it has been forged using an ancient technique, and proves an unbreakable opponent when faced with all but other objects of enchanted origins. Its blade is no sharper than any similarly designed knife, but its strength lies in the fact that it can stand up to great force without breaking, and intelligent use of this trait can allow its wielder to escape a wide variety of situations. Once praised by Ryuuko's mother as being a "Reliable weapon", where Ao is "Treacherous and cruel."

[u]"Ao"[/u]
An ancient sword that should have been reduced to nothing long ago, but remains intact due to some powerful force. This is the blade that once plunged through the heart of the Blue Eyed Demon, and it possesses a unique ability of its own besides simply functioning as an extremely effective killing tool. When the blade is on its wielders person, sheathed or not, it will possess a strange ability to sense blood lust. When unsheathed, the user can read the vibrations through the grip of the blade and use it to tell the location of whatever blood lust is nearby. It's unknown whether the blade had this ability before it had slain the Blue Eyed Demon, but the ability seems very closely tied to Ryuuko's curse. When in a Battle Trance, Ryuuko's blood lust is so strong that the blade vibrates continuously, significantly increasing its cutting power.[/i][/hider]=========================================

[b]Name:[/b] The Blue Eyed Demon's Curse
[b]Description:[/b] [i]Ryuuko inherited the same curse once possessed by her mother, which opens her mind to the spirit world and allows one spirit in particular to enter her body and control her actions at any time it wishes. This isn't just any spirit, however, it's the spirit of the perfect killer, a brutal demon who terrorized the Land of Water a long, long time ago. Their reign of terror was put to an end by one of Ryuuko's ancestors, but in the moment her blade passed through the demon's heart they cursed her to bear their blood lust for all of eternity. 

Ever since then, the curse has been passed on through every firstborn female child in her ancestor's legacy. This is the source of Ryuuko's curse, and like that demonic individual all those years ago, her curse gives her the distinctive eye colouration once possessed by the monster of a individual called the Blue Eyed Demon. When in this unique "Battle Trance", Ryuuko is forced to embrace an otherworldly entity and enter a state of heightened awareness, one superior to what an ordinary human would be capable of. After the spirit has left her body, she experiences severe physical illness for a time, due to the horribly violent thoughts overflowing from her regularly pacifistic mind.[/i]
=========================================

[b][u]Jutsu[/u][/b]:
[i]As a close-ranged fighter by nature, Ryuuko primarily makes use of quick-acting ninjutsu with minimal handseals or techniques that act to either supplement her non-combat utility or aid her in combating other close-ranged combatants. Additionally, various taijutsu and kenjutsu are at her disposal, each designed to take full advantage of her speed and skill. Unlike most Shinobi, Ryuuko hasn't actually completed and mastered all of her academy-level techniques, but sacrifices had to be made to permit such extensive swordsmanship mastery at such a young age.[/i]
