Heroic Presence: Kikyou's dazzling smile and poise in the face of adversity draws the attention of friend and foe, shining brighter the greater the odds to overcome and manifesting it as a bright sheen upon her sword and back. This acts as a natural taunt to foes, drawing their enmity onto her so long as she remains standing and armed to battle. In turn, the more who attack her, the faster she can react and the sharper her saber becomes, rising to meet the challenge as she dances on a knife's edge of balancing improved physique for even greater hazard to herself. 

Counter Wave: Whenever Kikyou clashes her blade with another or guards with it against an attack, it absorbs the energy behind it in the form of a crimson hue along the saber. When desired, her next swing with her saber will launch a wave of cutting force along with it, hitting foes at range with an arcing attack as wide as the blade itself. The range, speed, and cutting force increase with the accumulation of energy in the sword, causing more drastic shifts in coloration and an increasing vibration along its length.

There's always that one girl. You don't know her personally but you always hear of her, of that one girl whose campaigning in every grade to be student council president. Who takes part in two athletics clubs and still manages to get her homework in on time. Her grades are praised in spite of the heavy workload going against her. When she's seen in the halls, it's usually surrounded by a gaggle of friendly acquantences and well wishers, her polite laughter the strongest memory of her passing. 

A distant existence, one familiar but still entirely alien to the layman who puts in their hours, keeps their head down, and counts the minutes till their burdens end for the day. Yamatora Kikyou is in all things, an over-achiever. 

She didn't throw a fit if she got a B on an assignment. She studied an extra hour a day till she made it an A, and she did it with a drive her fellows lacked but applauded nonetheless. In all things Kikyou puts her mind to, she does it with passion and a positive attitude. 

Between high school classes, tennis, gymnastics, and a bit of fencing on the side as her guilty pleasure, Kikyou doesn't have enough hours in the day to keep up a vibrant social life. That was a matter she couldn't tackle as easily as she could others without coming across as overbearing, so she settled for making herself as amenable to approach as she could possibly conceive. 

Fortunately a distraction came into her life, one that was marvelous and grand beyond measure. One that was secret from most the world around her, only her eyes glimpsing the Tower and its splendor before her. Wonderstruck, there was no doubt in her mind that she had to reach out and embrace the mysterious structure, and as in all things, she'd give it her all.
