[b]Name[/b]: Mihama Yukiko [b]Age[/b]: 14 [b]Gender[/b]: Female [b]Appearance[/b]: [url=http://vitavitaar.deviantart.com/art/Mihama-Yukiko-535947291]The scatterbrained witch[/url]. She has black hair, light skin, and green eyes. Her outfit is reddish-purple and white. [b]Items[/b]: Her flying broom, chalk, a scrying stone, her all-important hat. The Magic Shop, her family's old business, is an old-fashioned shop sandwiched between newer buildings. [b]Abilities[/b]: Yukiko is a mage, though in her family the women are referred to as witches. She is capable of minor offensive and defensive magic, projecting fireballs or producing a shield, but most of her abilities are utility-based. Causing a broom to fly, transporting and manipulating objects, scrying, she's got a lot of spells to help people out with problems they might be having. Magi in her family are also taught aspects of onmyodo. Yukiko, for example, knows how to use the onymouji practice of using shikigami and blend it with a magi's familiar. [b]Background[/b]: Yukiko is part of the Mihama family, a somewhat old-fashioned family living near the center of the village. Her parents are very loving, but intensely busy. As a result, Yukiko runs the family's old shop, "The Magic Shop", specializing in some magical supplies. But mostly in hiring out the owner to solve various problems. Lost your keys? Need some ghosts dealt with? Have to find your long-lost twin sibling? Need a package delivered? Yukiko's your girl! Speaking of problems, she once ran across a heavily-injured cat, which turned out to be a nekomata. Using onmyodo and mage techiques, Yukiko healed and revived the nekomata and made her into a familiar. The nekomata, usually running around in human form now, has since become her assistant in problem solving. [b]Other[/b]: Yukiko is a happy and friendly girl, full of cheer and an earnest desire to help. She is talkative and and outgoing, always willing to hear what kind of trouble people are having and always willing to give them a hand. This is also, of course, her business, so she has some added incentive there. While she is friendly, she is sometimes easily-exasperated and frustrated, even if she is rather good at problem-solving. This mostly comes out when her catgirl assistant does something particularly unusual or irritating. Yukiko is surprisingly easy to distract and can easily lose trace of important things, like asking for payment after successfully helping someone out with a problem they've been having. It's times like this that it's her assistant's turn to be irritated with her.
