[@Raineh Daze] [b]Name[/b]: Kikyo Tohsaka [b]Gender[/b]: Female [b]Age[/b]: 19 [b]Appearance[/b]: [hider=What She Looks Like/Outfit][center]Appearane [img] https://image.ibb.co/b1LDqJ/step0000.jpg[/img] -Outfit- [img]https://i.imgur.com/S13WW2B.jpg[/img][/center][/hider] [b]Personality[/b]: Kikyo is the sort of person who at times can seem rather bored and tired of things, stemming from her status a genius/prodigy in part that has dulled her sense of the world to an extent. That being said, when she gets onto topics she loves or enjoys, it is hard to make her shut up and calm down when she gets into such a mood. When she indulges in certain activities such as cooking and swimming, she tends to fall into a somewhat “spaced out” sort of mode where she claims it helps release her mind from the usual stress of life and allows her to empty her mind. Ironically, this isn’t on the level of but is similar to the concept of Mushin (no-mind) seen in martial arts. Beyond this she is normally rather serious when it comes to serious matters, and this Holy Grail War is no exception to that. Though mentions of her mentor at the Clocktower can bring up good memories for her that she seems to genuinely smile at in retrospect. Though when it comes to attractions and speaking her mind, she can be as blunt as ever about her likes and dislikes without hesitation. [b]Skills[/b]: -Swimming -Cooking- Cheap ramen noodles and home recipes to save money are the name of her cooking game. She can’t cook a five star meal to save her life, mainly due to not bothering to want to learn due to boredom, but due to experience and some learning one could give her scraps and limited supplies and she can transform them into a great dish on the fly for any occasion. Also helps when one’s money ends up going to jewels and other things, and one’s family is constantly struggling in the financial regard. Though given the chance to learn, she might have had a future as chef were she a normal human being and not born into the world of magi. [b]Abilities[/b]: -General Magecraft- The usual things a mage would learn at base, magecraft skills like locking doors or making bounded fields or constructing familiars. Also within this general magecraft is very proficient in Reinforcement magecraft. -Jewel Magecraft- The Tohsaka Family Specialty, she very much excels at this magecraft much like she does other forms she has put time and effort into. This includes the creation of small jeweled figures that can move about as familiars as well. She currently possesses 12 gems and about 5 jewel familiars, having built up a store. It perhaps helps that her mother has many business connections among normal people in order to keep the family’s budget afloat in the first place beyond their usual income. However, her father sacrificed his own supplies for her to make the Jeweled Sword due to time constraints. -Earth Magecraft- Due to having and Earth affinity and a combination of prodigy/training in magecraft, she possesses a rather high amount of skill in this area as general-use combat magecraft to supplement her jewels and lessen how much she’d need to use them. Has discovered a spell or two to help search for gems on her own if need be, though has not applied them yet in practice due to a lack of time. [b]Short History[/b]: Kikyo was born the heiress of the Tohsaka family, the head to their magecraft who would take them to the next level. She was drilled in the magecraft of her family, and even spent some years at the Clocktower learning there. Amongst her peers she proved to be a rare talent, a genius prodigy that swiftly gained attention from those higher up who sought to use her to their own gains/ends. It was a natural thing, but in the end she chose to learn under a professor who seemed to be more "entertaining" and "genuine" a person than others. Safe to say, to her the time was never “boring” around him, and she gleaned the best she could whilst under his tutelage. To her “it was the most exciting time of my life when it came to magecraft”. However, she was the sort of genius who feels bored with life at times, finding many things dull due to her skills being that level above the average. She found some enjoyment in martial arts, and took up classes in them, and swimming as well as shopping for clothes became hobbies for her at times that she found entertaining. Though a mage, she held no evil or selfish intent for the world, merely desiring to feel alive and learn. Further, her parents slated her to join the next Holy Grail War as was fitting. Yet she helped managed to do the unthinkable, surpassing her ancestors ahead of schedule as she was called back home and temporarily abandoned her tutelage (master’s permission given of course) to return with her family’s home in Fuyuki to help finish the last part of a project they had long worked on. So when the Einzbern struck with a their plan to seize the Holy Grail, she had by this time managed to help finish the lifelong project of her family alongside her parents: an (imperfect) version of the Jeweled Sword Zeltrech. With this she and her family got the idea to use this object to gather mana to manage to summon another 7 servants to oppose the Einzberns. However, as a result the imperfect sword was destroyed due to the strain. [b]Other[/b]: Has a secret enjoyment of super spicy mapou tofu, though can't cook it. If she gets it she goes late at night to her favorite place, in order to avoid detection by many others and friends/family. In general, she just really likes spicy food, and at times has certain odd feelings when eating it as well when the spicyness is intense enough.
