Name: Akira Miyama

Race: Human

Age: 8, physically at least.

Appearance: [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=519367] I'd strongly recommend against touching the bunny.[/url]

Personality: Akira is generally a good deal more polite and mature than one might expect from someone of her apparent age. She is also far more knowledgeable, both about magic and the world in general, than a child should be, though she tries to avoid letting too much of this show to most people as it just gives more fuel to the nutjobs saying she's secretly some super-powerful mage that disappeared a few years ago. Akira has something of a weakness for sweets and plushies, acting far more like someone might expect a child to when they're involved. This makes ice cream or a new teddy bear effective ways of convincing her to do something. 

Skills/Abilities: Akira is a powerful mage, capable of casting spells which should be far beyond an 8 year-old's ability. She is capable of creating tsunamis, explosions that could level a city block or the "Rays of Judgment", several thin columns of light from the sky which gradually expand, burning anything they touch. Of course, while she [i]can[/i] use these, her body doesn't handle the strain very well and she will pass out soon after. Not to mention the fact that very few threats call for that kind of firepower. Generally, she sticks to more basic spells such as fireballs, spears of ice, a weak self-healing spell (the only one she knows, as healing was never her forte) and magical barriers.
Aside from her magic, Akira is about as strong and tough as one would expect an eight year-old to be.

Equipment: She's never seen without a stuffed animal of some kind.

Brief Backstory: Some time ago, there was a powerful mage with enough power to clear out dens full of powerful monsters with a single spell, without even entering them. However, two years ago, this mage vanished during a job. A short time after this, Akira turned up in Shinkawa and rented a small apartment with someone claiming to be her older sibling. No one thought much of this until it became clear that the child knew far more about magic than someone her age should.

Soon after, rumours began circulating that the disappeared mage and Akira were the same person. The exact logic behind this varied from person to person; a hunter jealous of the mage's success cursed her, she fell into the mythical fountain of youth, a strange monster did it, she was actually a small child piloting a mecha that looked like an adult all along or any number of other outlandish theories. Akira finds some of the rumours amusing enough that she's unlikely to ever actually clarify if there's any truth behind them. If she's asked, she'll generally just look at the person with a confused expression on her face until they drop it.
