So, obviously... I've been very slow. Very, very, slow, But I've finally gotten most of this very basic character on paper. She could probably be better, but it's more than I had before. Currently accepting any ways to fix her up some.

She seems to like many of the things one would expect of a girl her age, but can also be something of a cynic. She rarely speaks, and when she does it is broken as she has never received formal, or continued, education during her time with the CCG. While she can give off multiple facial expressions, it’d be rare for [i]anyone[/i] to find her without a blank expression under the bandages. Even so, if given the opportunity, she would have a room full of stuffed animals, although their level of cuteness would be up to her to decide. Not many would probably agree on what is cute either as she doesn’t seem to have much consistency in this area regardless. Apart from that, Aoi surprisingly likes to eat. This is likely because she hardly ever is given any form of proper nourishment by the CCG, and hasn’t since her capture. Thus, when she does get the chance to actually eat, she can get a little out of control. Even so, she does remarkably well keeping herself contained in public or around CCG agents, no matter how hungry she may be. This is likely due to fear of being hurt or killed should she go too far. Aoi is strange, but she is kind, and can be quite loving. One of the things she picked up from her parents was a sense of justice and empathy towards others even if she knows she might not always get the same. Still, she tries her best to be better than the monster she is made out to be. Especially, since her sniffing out other ghouls has put something of a target on her back. Even if she were to escape, she wouldn’t be very likely to have a happy life. [/indent] [b][u]Background[/u][/b] [indent]Takahashi Aoi was born to a ghoul father and human mother, who had fallen in love. Though she doesn’t particularly know or understand the details behind their tragic romance, she knows that she had something of a happy life before the raid. She was homeschooled by her mother who had worked as a teacher’s assistant prior to falling in love. Her education was going quite smoothly, albeit a bit slow, but she was always smiling. While Aoi was with her mother, her father spent his days doing odd jobs and working to help support his family and other wayward ghouls. He was kind and would have done anything to help anyone he could. The same was true for his daughter whom he always made time for when he got home. Even so, one night, when Aoi was 4 years old she was awoken by the sound of banging on the door and footsteps. Her father was out on one of his night jobs and she was sleeping with her mother. Then, gunfire. Her father had come home and started a battle with CCG agents who’d come because of potential ghoul activity in the neighborhood. It was her and him. The battle had started immediately as the CCG broke in. He mowed down many of them, but he was badly injured. Her mother was dead. She’d picked her up and tried to protect her, tried to run, but with a hail of bullets and an onslaught of attacks her mother couldn’t escape anymore than she could. She doesn’t remember much more from that night. Blood, fire, screaming… So much screaming. Everything was hazy. Her father was gone, presumed dead. She, however, was not killed. Though many agents planned to do so, one in particular brought her in. She could be useful. That was how her life of under a microscope began. Testing, poking, prodding, everything that could be done to test the limits of a ghoul was done. She could almost always heal, but she would immediately be hurt again. That’s why so much of her time has been, and is, spent in her bandages. Even so, where, when and how she will die… She doesn’t know. She’s just going one day at a time. They can’t all be painful after all.

Even so, bandages from years of poking, prodding, and experimentation by the CCG have taken the place of a typical ghoul mask. [/indent] [b][u]RC Type[/u][/b] [indent]Rinkaku [/indent] [b][u]Kagune[/u][/b] [indent]Aoi’s Kagune typically manifests in the form of four tendril-like appendages which she has an incredible degree of control over. They are sickly shade of neon green with purple accents streaking through them from the base of the tendrils all the way to the ends which are coated in purple. She can change the shape and size of these tentacles, even showing the capability to seemingly combine them into fewer, or even one, or splitting them into more. The upper limit she has shown during testing was 8, double the usual four. Apart from that, while she does exhibit incredible control over the tentacles, she typically keeps the ends of them molded into the shapes of beastly mouths. These fangs jaws can bite, tear and grip quite powerfully, but on average seem to move as though they have a mind of their own. It is sometimes questioned whether or not she actually has control of the kagune. Regardless, it is of little worry to the CCG as her kagune is fairly weak compared to its estimated potential due to her diet of human food, or none at all. She doesn’t often get the proper nutrients. This leaves her abilities all fairly frail and lower compared to what she should be capable of.
