[h2] [color=BA55D3]”My name?  How rude.  It is only polite to state your name first.”[/color][/h2]
[b]Name:[/b]  
Himeko Kagekoro

[color=BA55D3][h2]”What matter is my age?”[/h2][/color]
[b]Age:[/b]  
125

[b]Race:[/b] 
Tengu

[b]Appearance:[/b]  
Himeko looks to be about her late teens to early twenties though in reality she’s lived over a century.   She has long brown hair typically tied back into twintails.  She wears travel clothes of her tribe’s color and she stands at a little over six feet.  Other than her wings, that is a good sign that she isn’t exactly human.  

[b]Personality:[/b]
Himeko is a noble in Tengu society.  Though she tries not to be, she can be rather pretentious at times.  Her normal mode is “guarded” though one can gain her trust rather quickly.  She has a rather negative opinion on humans in general, but will work with them in times of need.  While she thinks of humans this way, she likely will come to like them quickly so long as they are competent at what they do.

[color=BA55D3]”A mere human cannot hope to match a Tengu, that is just simple.  Any longer talk on it is mere sophistry.”[/color]

[b]Abilities:[/b]  
Tengu in general have the ability to manipulate wind.  Though it appears to be the typical type of magic, it really has a source from the divinity that resides on Tengu Mountain.

Their wings also allow them to fly at high speeds.  They are rather large and can wrap around them as a coat if need-be, but otherwise, they can use the same divine power that allows them to manipulate the wind to hide their wings.

As a species, they also have strength far outweighing the average human and wielding their special Tengu Forged Katana that assist them in their wind manipulating abilities.



[b]History:[/b]  Himeko was born among her fellow Tengu at the supposed height of their civilization.  She herself was born among one of the upper rungs of the race and as thus, she was taught many things such as swordsmanship, etiquette and channeling divinity.  Soon enough, she found herself among one of the many Wing Guards of the mountain.  

She never left the mountain, but she was put in charge of guarding the Vault of Relics.  It’s name was exactly as it sounds and she liked to take her time examining the many pieces in the Vault.  She both guarded and studied them.  Soon enough, she found herself tasked with guarding a human to study in the vault.  She scoffed at the order, but was quickly ordered to follow orders or else she’d be stripped of her rank. Begrudgingly, she accepted the task.

She was quickly introduced to the human.  She was not impressed.  They were simply a scholarly type and she was simply surprised that he was able to make it to the top by himself, let alone make it past the constant tempests that masked the mountain.  He asked her if she’d like to talk to him about any of the objects and simply told him their name and a very short idea of what they did.  She was constantly confused as to why the Elders and the Lord of the Mountain allowed a human up here, but followed orders as loosely as she could.

It took a few weeks, but the man was just about done with his research.  In the last couple of days however, the tempest surrounding the mountain disappeared and the mountain was attacked by a small horde of what could only be described as gigantic bats.  Himeko was with the scholar at the time, and quickly flew him to a safe space in the mountain fortress.

She quickly made her way to the front and helped eliminate the attackers, however she left the Vault undefended.  In her absence, someone or something snuck into the Vault and stole one of the Tengu’s most sacred treasures, The Leaf of the Four Winds.  A grand treasure that had the power to amplify the power of any wind based divinity or magic.

Many among the Elder Council accused the scholar of stealing the item, or letting the tempest die out.  Himeko, however, stood up for the scholar, claiming he was not at fault for this theft.  As she was known for her disdain for the human race for their foolishness, her words for a human were held in high regard.  On the other hand, her leaving the Vault undefended was seen as the main issue at hand.  For her failure at losing the Leaf, she was tasked with retrieving it or never returning.  After preparing for a few days and gathering her supplies, she left the mountain and sadly only found solace in human towns.  Luckily, she had one clue... An odd sigil...

[b]Other:[/b]
-Himeko is actually a master at disguising her disgust at humans.  Luckily for her.  She deals with humans in villages with a hidden disgust but something better than a frown, but less than a smile.
