Welp, here we go. *Name: Ryuuzaki Kotori *Age: 18 *Appearance: [i][url=http://moerin-satsuki.deviantart.com/art/Little-Bird-371628262]"Hmmm?"[/url][/i]. She's actually rather tall for a Japanese girl. ([url=http://le-pink-piglet.deviantart.com/art/C-Moerin-Satsuki-423230524]Better picture by a better artist.[/url]) *Personality: Ryuuzaki sees herself as a modern day samurai of sorts, and is something of a traditionalist as her clothing choices seem to imply. She applies herself to any task she performs with utmost seriousness, and can come off a little intimidating at first, but she is a well meaning, honest and loyal to a fault. She dreams of becoming a "Samurai of the People", not bound to a single lord but pledged to help mankind as a whole, and as such tries her hardest to trust the word of those she meets completely, her staunch belief in the better nature of people often coming off as a naivety at odds with her otherwise serious demeanour. She seems as though she was born a few centuries too late, and would've been much more at home during the time of the samurai; she's not at all comfortable with the modern world and finds it difficult operating most appliances. She can come off as somewhat tomboyish, and were this being written in Japanese she would refer to herself using masculine pronouns. Ryuuzaki hates her given name, Kotori, and prefers to be called by her family name, Ryuuzaki. *Abilities: Insanely skilled with her sword. She practices Shinken Densetsu style kenjutsu, an ancient style mostly forgotten by the world that holds great power in its techniques. Most notably, she is able to use the legendary [i]Tsubame Gaeshi[/i] technique, which has been passed down through the Ryuuzaki clan for generations. She's also generally atheletic all around, and possessed of far greater strength and agility than one would expect from a regular human. Ryuuzaki is also a somewhat skilled cook; whilst she's not quite the best cook in the world, her food is still usually delicious and edible. *Weapons/Equipment: Wields the cursed sword [i]Daikyouken, Blade of Calamity[/i], what looks like a simple wooden katana but is in fact nigh-indestructable and capable of slicing through solid rock. As a cursed weapon, it is able to harm spirits, ghosts and other incorporeal entities. The sword is an heirloom of her family; thus, Ryuuzaki will not part with it for any reason. *Brief Backstory: Ryuuzaki was born to a poor family, who somehow always managed to be thrifty enough to maintain ownership of a dojo, which she intends to inherit when she comes of age. Her family are traditionalists, and celebrate the old ways of the samurai and their bushido code, and Ryuuzaki wouldn't have them any other way. Her family has always known about the masquerade, and have been willing to help defend the innocent mundane people from the threats they don't understand for generations.
