[b][color=ffa500]Personality:[/color][/b][INDENT]Tatsu is a fairly cheerful, energetic individual who tries to look on the bright side and avoid taking anything too seriously.  Her confidence in herself and her upbeat, easy-going attitude make it so that she usually finds it pretty easy to make friends and/or meet new people.  Unfortunately, Tatsu tends to be a rather reserved individual, so it can be hard for her friends to get to know her well.  She just doesn’t really like talking about herself at all, though she’s usually willing to listen to others.
 
Tatsu is also a very spontaneous individual, as she rarely plans ahead or thinks things through before making a decision.  This means that it can be kind of hard for her friends to keep up with her, as it’s not uncommon for her to suddenly make a lot of progress on a project of hers or pick up a new hobby.  Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, Tatsu tends to be a logically minded individual, and she often has a hard time understanding the emotions of others.  This lack of empathy, of course, often leads to Tatsu coming across as insensitive, even though there’s rarely any actual malice in her actions. 
 
Though Tatsu is usually content to just go with the flow, she can be incredibly stubborn if she feels that she’s being criticized or restricted in some way.  As such, she is rather prone to breaking rules that she feels are pointless and ignoring advice, even if it comes from people who are close to her.  Because of these habits, she tends to be labelled as a troublemaker by authority figures, though it’s not like she particularly wants to cause trouble.

[b][color=ffa500]Background:[/color][/b][INDENT]Tatsu was born to Iruto and Amaya Kanashiro in Kitakyushu, Japan.  Shortly after she was born, it became apparent that she wasn’t growing as quickly as she should have been.  After running a few tests, her family’s doctor concluded that she had a growth hormone deficiency and that she was allergic to the treatments.  This meant that she would always be significantly smaller than her peers and that she would be lucky to end up being much taller than four feet.
 
Knowing just how cruel kids could be to those that were different, and fearing that their daughter might end up being bullied in school, Tatsu’s parents, though occasionally a little too overprotective for her tastes, tried their hardest to encourage their daughter to pursue her interests and talents.  As such, when Tatsu’s quirk manifested itself around the age of four, her parents were incredibly supportive.  They never tried to stop her from just casually using her ability, and instead aimed to teach her to avoid using it irresponsibly.
 
Likewise, when she showed an interest in learning how to work with wood and metal like her father, a carpenter by trade, he allowed her to help him out in his workshop while teaching her about the tools and techniques that he used in his craft.  Once her father felt that she was capable enough, he allowed her to work on her own projects, under his supervision of course.  It was this freedom to pursue what she found interesting that led to Tatsu’s love of trying new things, especially ones that involve working with her hands.
 
When Tatsu decided that she wanted to apply to Kosei Academy because she felt that it would be a good idea to learn how to better control her abilities and that participating in heroics sounded like fun, her parents were supportive as well.  And so, with their encouragement, Tatsu eventually found herself on her way to attend Kosei Academy.[/INDENT]
 
[b][color=ffa500]Quirk:[/color][/b] Mind over Matter
[INDENT]Tatsu’s quirk enables her to move objects with her mind.  In order to manipulate an object, Tatsu needs to be able to either see it or touch it.  This condition really only applies when she begins manipulating an object, however, as she’s essentially touching the object psychically once it’s wrapped in telekinetic energy.
 
It’s estimated that the maximum amount of weight that she can lift at once is around 500 lbs, though she’s currently only able to lift around 100 lbs due to her inexperience.  The size of the object(s) also limit how fast she can move them.  The tiers are broken down roughly as follows:
[List]
[*]If they’re close to the maximum weight she can lift, she’ll only be able to move them slowly.  
[*]If they’re about half the maximum weight she can lift, she’ll be able to move them at about a walking pace, or a slight jog if she pushes herself.  
[*]Objects that are about a fifth of the maximum weight she can lift can be thrown with some speed, but it’s like throwing a beach ball for her.  
[*]Objects that are about a twentieth of the maximum weight she can lift can be thrown with as much speed as a professional pitcher’s fastball.  
[/List]
Tatsu also finds it incredibly difficult to use telekinesis on people (so long as they’re alive anyway).  This means that the most she could manage would be slowing down a punch or a kick, though it would require a large amount of energy. The only exception to this rule is her own body.  As such, she’s able to lift herself in a makeshift sort of flight or use telekinesis to add force to a punch or kick.  At the moment, however, she is incapable of making herself fly.  The most she can do is slow down how fast she's falling, which results in a sort of gliding ability.  It's important to note that she is currently able to use telekinesis to boost the speed and strength of her movements, however.
 
Though it kind of goes without saying, using her abilities fatigues Tatsu both mentally and physically.  When lifting the maximum amount of weight that she can, she’s only able to last for around 5 to 10 minutes before she drops from exhaustion.  On the other hand, she could lift really light objects and hold them for several hours before she really begins to feel the fatigue.

[list]
[*]Good with her hands (DIY projects, metal/wood working, electronics, etc.)
[*]Rollerskating
[*]Not sure where else to put this, but Tatsu is blue-green color blind (tritanopia).  This means that she often mixes up the colors blue and green, as well as yellow and purple.
