[hider=Ayako Yamaguchi][center][b]Name[/b]: Ayako “Aya” Yamaguchi 

[b]Race[/b]: Nekomata 

[b]Age[/b]: 19

[b]Appearance[/b]: [url=https://33.media.tumblr.com/436267b4a7eb3dea6d6ff74fb50de528/tumblr_nf4pg4lSs21rz6uvwo1_1280.png]Aya[/url] in a few words is basically a bad ass. Being on the run for quite a few years changes up your style quite a lot. She has pale, almost ivory white skin littered with a stark ink black tattoos and scars that she's gotten over the years and still plans on adding more (tattoo-wise). Aya's hair reaches just below her back, she dyes her the tips of her extremely long, raven black hair purple and had recently gotten a side shave. She sports a number of piercings (including a tongue and nose ring that isn't on the picture) and once again is on the road to probably getting more. She stands at 5'6 (ears included) with a curvaceous and fit body that she's built up over her many years of hunting. 

[b]Personality[/b]: Having been on the run for many years now, Aya's learned to adapt to being alone. She doesn't normally make friends or even acquaintances due to her constant moving around therefore her social skills haven't really been up to date. She's normally very quiet, not one to really engage in a conversation unless necessary. She doesn't see it as a nuisance or anything, but again, her social skills aren't really something to brag about for her therefore she finds it better to keep what she thinks to herself. The neko isn't one to work with others but if she's been hired to work with another team or hunter, if it means getting paid then she has no problem doing so but most of the time she prefers taking her jobs alone. 

Despite her appearance, Aya is very patient and mature, she comes off has cold and harsh at first but as one gains her trust, they would be surprised to find out how kind and thoughtful she actually can be. Due to her harsh upbringings, she had to mature way faster than anyone in her age group normally has to and even the way she talks is different for other people her age. She has a soft spot for children, due to once having younger siblings herself, she normally is unable to say no to anyone 10 years younger and has more than once jeopardized a mission to help a young child. 

Aya also has an incredibly observant personality. Able to pick up even the smallest of lies and is also not afraid to point it out when need be. She is able to pick and choose her battles and is not afraid to say that she's been beat (which is incredibly rare), she's creative and sometimes sadistic when she's been pushed to the edge. With an intelligent and creative mind she is usually able to overcome many difficult challenges that come her way. She is difficult to push over the edge but when it happens, she becomes a whole different personality, her eyes change to a blood red when this happens and once it does it is impossible to tell when it can be over. She becomes violent, sadistic, and overall something of the complete opposite of how she normally is. What once was a cool-headed, observant female becomes a violent, bloodthirsty feline that is nothing short of terrifying.

[b]Skills/Abilities[/b]: Due to her genetics, Aya has incredible speed, agility, and flexibility, able to go beyond the limits of any average human. Over the years she's learned to increase her stamina for longer runs and fights. She is skilled in a number of hand-to-hand combat moves and is able to wield any blade or gun with relative ease. Her heightened senses allow her to sense when something is wrong or out of the norm. She has two ears, human ones and her cat ones and is able to hide away her cat ears when in the public eye. Her regular human ears are a little sharper compared to other humans’ but it’s really her cat ears that have that can hear even the softest of things. Despite being speedy, Yuuko is not the strongest neko around. Her stature allows her to move and dodge about with relative ease but when faced with a larger enemy she tends to use her gun for a more ranged fight.

Although her single special ability is the ability to create a Shadow clone to distract, hide, or shield during a fight for a short period of time (think 5-10 seconds unless hit by an enemy then it disappears on impact).
 

[b]Equipment[/b]:
[url=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140726102336/rwby/images/0/0b/Gambol_shroud.png]Belladonna[/url]: A 3-in-1 weapon. Aya is able to switch between a katana, a pistol, and a kusari-gama (sickle-and-chain).

She normally dual-wields during her missions but in an easy battle she would keep it sheathed just to save the effort. She holds the katana by the hilt when sheathed and when dual-wielding, holds the sword by its hilt and the sheath by a small rectangular shaped hole just below where the hilt sits.

She has a ribbon attached to the hilt (in both sickle and katana form) and is able to use it like a kusari-gama when need be.
	
[b]Brief Backstory[/b]: Not much is known about her other than she once had younger siblings and has been on her own for a few years now, making a living by going from one city to another taking jobs when she can and tries not to stay in a town or city for too long. (don't really know what to put here? >_> I'll get around to it when the OOC is up >_<)[/center][/hider]

I changed the name cause it was pretty similar to another character's name so I'm sorry if I mess up ^^;; Hopefully she's good.

EDIT: Changed her to a nekomata. ^^;;
