[hider=Appearance][b][color=#8B4513]Appearance:[/color][/b]
Ayahime has beautiful purple eyes and long black hair. She rarely ever smiles, and when Ayahime does smile, it feels like she's trying to hide something wrong. On her lower to upper back are multiple scars from when Ayahime awakened her Noble Arm at a very young age. The scars' message shows that [i]her[/i] noble arm is anything but good.

Ayahime has body language that is significantly disturbed and cautious around others, so her affliction doesn't cause harm to them. There is a tiny tidbit of hope in her body language, which hopes the future will be brighter than what had happened. When her Noble Arm is about to manifest, Ayahime's hairs stand on end, and she looks like she's shivering down her spine. 

Ayahime wears silverish-white Christian cross earrings, a gift from her mother. She wears other earrings, but they are based on her favorite insect, a butterfly.

[hider=Misc. Abilities][b][color=#8B4513]Misc Abilities:[/color][/b]
[list]
[*] [i]Photographer[/i] - Ayahime uses an expensive camera to take high-quality shots. She gets paid a reasonable amount for the high-quality photos she takes.
[*] [i]Drinking[/i] - Ayahime usually, on her off-time, drinks liquor of specific certain quantities to make her feel better. She feels numb and has trouble sleeping without alcohol.
[*] [i]Bilingual[/i] - Ayahime fluently speaks two languages, and they are both from her parents, which are English and Japanese. She has an accent when speaking English, which sounds like she was born in the Southern United States, but it is copied from her biological father.
[*] [i]Self-Taught Defense School[/i] - Ayahime self-taught herself to defend herself in multiple situations, but it is only for defensive purposes rather than offensive. Defensive Hand-to-Hand combat school, but she does know how to properly wield a handgun without having it go off accidentally. Ayahime wants to use these techniques, overexerting her [i]terrible[/i] noble arm.
[*] [i]Cautious around Others[/i] - Ayahime is cautious around others who want to try to get to know her better or wish to date her. She uses tired old lines in relationships to end them. One of the reasons, Ayahime is still single. She doesn't want any more people scared or worse because Ayahime doesn't believe in harming others trying to be nice to her, but that monstrous noble arm isn't playing nice.
[*] [i]Cooking[/i] - Ayahime knows how to cook, which is an understatement since she had to learn this skill at a young age before she left for her favorite career choice. Her meals are perfectly balanced and taste great compared to other people who are not good at it. Ayahime's choice to stay single has kept her from cooking meals that will help her.
[/list][/hider]

[hider=Personality][b][color=#8B4513]Personality:[/color][/b]
Ayahime always tries not to be the center of attention, which has yet to work so far in her life. She is kind to everyone and never raises her voice but gets irritated and tries to tell people to stop invading her personal space. Sometimes depending on her mood, Ayahime would depart early from a bar to go home to drink her sorrows away instead. Ayahime considers others as she was taught to be considerate of others. Her grief is how far she has to live away from her parents personally and that everyone she could get together with has a possibility of dying.

Her noble arm causes Ayahime intense panic attacks when those who invade her personal space trigger the Noble Arm to manifest itself. Ayahime is deathly afraid of her Noble Arm because it is sentient and actively taunts those who invade her personal space and herself. She actively calls her noble arm, [i]a demon[/i] sent by the devil to torment her for not being whole of her faith. Ayahime has become more religious in this trying torment by Xorzin's Wrath. 

Ayahime is hurt by how nervous she gets talking to Tomiko and Thomas over the phone. She is too scared to ask how they are doing, only saying hello, etc. Her father usually yells at her over the phone, but her mother is calm and friendly. She knows Tomiko had forgiven her already for the perceived notion of her noble arm almost killing her parents before she stopped it. In the tone of her father's voice every time they talk over the phone, Thomas still hasn't forgiven her and is still afraid of Xorzin's Wrath. He doesn't like that Ayahime went against his family's tradition to pursue a career of finding the truth or taking beautiful photos.

[b][color=#8B4513]*Likes:[/color][/b] Music, Flowers, Taking Photos, Blue, Fiction, Cherries, Onions, getting at the truth, Butterflies, and Handguns (Heckler & Koch VP9 9MM Pistol and SIG Sauer P320 Pistol).

[b][color=#8B4513]*Dislikes:[/color][/b] Creeps, Dishonesty, Lying, Killing, Invading her personal space, and changing the truth into lies.

[b][color=#8B4513]Fears:[/color][/b] Ayahime has intense fears of commitment and losing loved ones. She gets out of every relationship for fear of wielding the noble arm, which causes her parents to fear it but causes her to grow up quicker. Ayahime also fears the [i]Big Three[/i] Noble Arm Organizations and anyone that even looks her way as a tool to be used against others. Because of this, she distrusts the [i]Big Three[/i] and their intentions.

Ayahime fears her Noble Arm, the Xorzin's Wrath, because of how dangerous it is compared to others who awaken there. She fears it because it tried to kill her biological parents. Ayahime doesn't understand the change but fears it the same. Another one of her fears is stalkers too, which have a sadistic streak of causing her to move frequently. They are overly creepy and unbelievably deadset on [i]fixing her[/i] like she is something that needs fixing. Overcoming these fears won't be helped by people who want to be a control freak and don't want her to travel the world as a Freelance Reporter.[/hider]

[hider=History][b][color=#8B4513]Bio:[/color][/b]
Ayahime was born on May 21, 2001, at the Norman Regional Hospital in Norman, Oklahoma, to Tomiko J. Walters and Thomas S. Walters. The two were extremely happy to have Ayahime R. Walters born into the world. Thomas had a set future planned for his daughter called the Thomas Plan, which is based on his family's tradition of always having their children join the military. Tomiko was annoyed that Thomas planned that out and even named it after himself, somewhat selfish of a man that her husband was. Her parents had conflicting goals for Ayahime, but that never stopped them from being there for her.

Ayahime had two different upbringings one that was harsh and heavy-handed in her choice of a future career, and the other that was kind and gentle. Tomiko would be the one that would give Ayahime a gentle upbringing. At an early age, Ayahime could tell her parents had some tension between them but didn't know why. Thomas didn't let much room for Ayahime to be a child and was overly strict when he would bring up military branches with his daughter. Ayahime would frequently get scared at why her father was trying to force her to join the military so severely. She started to distrust her father's intentions in why he was asking her so much to give up what she wanted only to follow the family tradition. It strained their relationship so severely that Ayahime stopped attending church on Sundays. Her father pressured her so much that it got harder to tell Thomas why she hadn't answered his frequent questions.

The Walters family had their lives changed forever on Ayahime's twelfth birthday. Ayahime finally decided to tell her father about her future goals, angered him to an extreme degree. She wanted to become a Freelancer Reporter and a Photographer, which meant a Journalism Degree and a Photography Degree. Thomas was angry, but Tomiko entered the room before Thomas could do anything to Ayahime. A scenario happened when Thomas was stunned at what was happening, a Noble Arms Manifestation. Ayahime awakened her noble arm. However, it caused Ayahime to panic, and the room was filled with dread, death, or waiting to kill someone. She manifested Xorzin's Wrath in her hands, but it was plain evil. Something was wrong, so dreadfully wrong. The weapon started to speak in a demonic voice that laughed at Thomas and Tomiko for [i]invading[/i] Ayahime's personal space. 

Ayahime was forced against her will to charge her parents to cut them down, but she managed to stop the act of murdering her parents by this evil, cruel demonic noble arm. Thomas freaked out that he had his head cut clean off by Ayahime's Noble Arm. When the noble arm started to unmanifest, it taunted Ayahime with a snide remark and a hint of sympathy in its tone. Ayahime was crying and shaking because of it. 

After the awakening of Xorzin's Wrath, it introduced itself to Tomiko, Thomas, and Ayahime. Thomas became afraid of Ayahime because he believed his daughter would kill him. Tomiko was worried, too, but for different reasons, and that weapon awakened at the correct time to stop Thomas from hurting Ayahime. Though they both feared the weapon, Tomiko tried to support her daughter in any way possible besides the threat of the Noble Arm. 

[hr]

Three Weeks later, Ayahime was told to have a family meeting with her mother and father. The family meeting room was in the kitchen, but Tomiko was the only one sitting at the kitchen table. Thomas was standing further into the kitchen by the kitchen counter. Ayahime asked if the family meeting could start, which it did as Tomiko voiced her concerns that Thomas was making a grave mistake. Tomiko was scared of Ayahime's Noble Arm but more scared of actively losing Ayahime.

Thomas ignored what his wife had to say and told her [i]not[/i] to register Ayahime's Noble Arm to the US Government. He wanted his daughter to stay unregistered for as long as possible. More like Thomas doesn't want her to be registered at all. He told Ayahime to [i]stop seeing[/i] her childhood friends, Ashley and Marcus. And become distant from anyone that would trigger her weapon at all. Thomas even ordered that she would never [i]manifest it herself.[/i] Tomiko was listening to her husband rant and rave at their daughter about all the cautious behavior Ayahime has to do to keep everyone alive, which hurts. 

Ayahime agreed with that since Thomas knew that Ayahime was attracted to both of her childhood friends. She felt it was for the best since Ashley and Marcus were moving on with their lives together. Ayahime can tell about their feelings for one another. She feels like she's the third wheel in their relationship, but the feelings of her attraction to both genders probably won't stop. Ayahime could tell that Thomas had more to say as he waited for her to stop speaking about her feelings towards Ashley and Marcus, as they made her happy. 

Thomas then went to the issue and why he called for this meeting. He told Ayahime that she must [i]pack[/i] everything from her room and move out of the house. This instance, at the age of 12, was a bit shocking. Thomas asked if she would agree, but this was when Tomiko butted into the conversation and yelled at her husband. Tomiko and Thomas got into a heated argument because of this outrage, an ultimatum to Ayahime at her age.

Ayahime couldn't believe her father had asked her to move out of the house and move to an apartment at twelve. She was stunned at her parents' first-ever argument, a yelling slug match. It caused her to start crying and lie on the kitchen table since Ayahime felt responsible for her parents' fight. Ayahime couldn't stop crying until her father and mother calmed down and finally reached a compromise.

Thomas asked his daughter to raise her head and stop crying. He watched Ayahime carefully and then finally spoke about when she would leave. Thomas said Ayahime is 16 years old and will go to the nearest apartment complex. Her mother would drive her to the apartment complex, which is still in her school's district, so she could still attend the same school. Ayahime looked at her mother, who had a worried look on her face, but before Ayahime agreed to the terms. She asked her father if he would always kick her out of the house if Ayahime went against the Thomas Plan. Ayahime learned the truth at that moment, her father spoke a few words, [i]Yes, but you would be leaving at 18 instead of 16.[/i] She gasped but agreed to his compromise since it wasn't much of one since it was preplanned. 

Ayahime's driving force to become a Photographer and a Freelancer Reporter was because her father was deceitful and not telling the truth. She got Thomas' truth, and it was disgusting how much he planned for her to join the US Army. After the compromise, Thomas accepted the terms too and left for the bar in his truck. However, the responsibility to raise their daughter rests entirely on Tomiko's shoulders. Thomas won't as much look at Ayahime or Tomiko as long as his daughter is still at home.

When Ayahime turned 14, Tomiko gifted her a beautiful present, two matching whitish-silver Christian cross earrings. Ayahime wore them wholeheartedly since it was a lovely gift, and on this day, her mother forgave her for what had happened two years ago. Tomiko could move on, while Thomas could not. 

[hr]

After everything, when Ayahime turned 16, her mother drove her to her apartment complex, where she started living for what Thomas had done. Ayahime couldn't hug her mother since the Unregistered Noble Arms manifested four years ago. So far, no incidents involving Xorzin's Wrath have happened. She was careful and turned into a background character to disappear from the limelight. It was like everything her father said helped out in the end. Everyone at her school was afraid of Ayahime, which is why they left her alone, but her grades were top-notch. Ayahime picked classes that fit her drive to become a Journalist and Photographer.  

Ayahime graduated High School with honors to pursue a Photographer and become a Freelance Reporter. She could attend any college with those two professions as applicable degrees. One major problem, Ayahime's social life was nonexistent. Ayahime didn't mind not having a social life since it was better than having people get injured or killed by that Noble Arm of hers.

Ayahime is now 21 years old and preparing to go to the Philippines as a Freelance Reporter, War Correspondent. She had been able to live somewhat peacefully besides all the [i]creeps and stalkers[/i] bugging her. All because she wants to [i]show[/i] everyone the truth. Ayahime has to keep an eye out for anyone that wants to bug her heavily and tell them not to invade her personal space.

Ayahime holds no more resentment towards her father, Thomas S. Walters. She learned to let go and move on with her life, since now she lives in Eugene, Oregon. She hit adulthood in an apartment since she had to travel across the country as a Journalist for three years. Ayahime told her mother about her traveling to the Philippines as a Freelance Reporter, War Correspondent. Her mother was deathly afraid of her doing that but respected her decision to follow her dreams. 

Ayahime is an Unregistered Noble Arms Master, but she wants not to be a combatant during the conflict. She doesn't know how bad going to the Philippines is as an unregistered noble arms master or a Civilian allied to the Philippines by being part of the United States. Ayahime time spent moving everywhere in the United States was 255 times.

[hider=The Optional Information][hider=The Walter’s Family]
The Walter Family is an extended historic family that has always served in one of the many military branches of the United States. Their service shows they have even fought in World War 1, World War 2, and other modern wars. Usually, each family member chooses between the United States Air Force, United States Army, United States Navy, or the United States Marines. Ayahime wasn't exempt from joining the military because of how hard her father pushed her to join it. She chose not to enter it but to most of her father's dismay while her mother wanted her to do something against their family tradition.

Ayahime decidedly wanted to be a Photographer and later a Freelancer Reporter to document things hidden in the shadows to bring them to light. She hunts for the truth to give it to the people who deserve it. Therefore, when the Chinese started to aim for the Philippines by declaring war on it. Ayahime decided to become a Freelancer Reporter, War Correspondent to report on the war. In addition, Ayahime wants to ensure the [i]safety[/i] of others from her Noble Arm. Ayahime's mother, Tomiko, accepted her as the Freelance Reporter, even if she was scared of losing her daughter if anything terrible happened to her by going to the Philippines.

Thomas S. Walters hasn't forgiven his daughter for choosing her path, as much as he says when he talks to her over the phone. He is still afraid of her noble arm because of what it tried with him and Tomiko.[/hider][hider=Photography Camera, Camcorder, and two handguns]
Heckler & Koch VP9 9MM Pistol and SIG Sauer P320 Pistol are her two handguns, which she carries on her. Ayahime uses these for self-defense, not to kill anyone but to disable an assailant. She holds at least four magazines for each pistol, and a fifth is in the two handguns.

There is a voice coming from Ayahime's Noble Arm, the Xorzin's Wrath. It is distorted and is more feminine and female in tone. Xorzin's Wrath frequently taunts Ayahime to be more like her.

[b][color=#8B4513]Noble Arm Abilities:[/color][/b] 
[I]Xorzin's Manifestation[/i]

Xorzin's Wrath is a Noble Arm that is both sentient and actively malicious. Identifying itself as "female," Xorzin holds enmity for all but its wielder, seeking to harm or kill anything and anyone that so much as slightly inconveniences Ayahime. Xorzin seeks to corrupt its wielder, to taunt and torment her until it can drag her down to its level, shaping her into its sister in self-serving, gleeful malice.

Xorzin is capable of using its powers entirely without its wielder's input and must be actively suppressed from doing so. Moreover, when Ayahime is emotionally compromised, Xorzin is able to manifest of its own will and take physical control of Ayahime's body to use as a puppet. Under normal circumstances, Xorzin's length is mostly white, but when acting of its own accord, the white bleeds into pitch black. During a self-summon, a dense, reddish-black fog rises around Ayahime's personal space (around a 1-2 meter radius). Causing Ayahime's hair to stand on end, the fog inflicts harsh, lingering rashes akin to Dermatitis on physical contact while it exists -on both Ayahime and others- and dissipates fully once the self-summon is complete. For as long as Xorzin remains manifested, it constantly emanates a seemingly indiscriminate aura of murderous wrath and gleeful malice.

[i]Xorzin's Flaming Hell Slash[/i]

A burst of scorching-hot flames can be emitted from the blade, clocking in at temperatures of 707°F (375°C). The attack generally manifests as a rough wave of flame and heat, and Ayahime has some limited capacity to warp the orientation of that wave to avoid completely indiscriminate destruction, even in the case that it is Xorzin, itself, forcing the usage of this ability. The direct manifestation of flames cuts out at a maximum range of 75 yards from Ayahime's position. This ability tends to be highly straining on a mental and physical level, which usually leaves Ayahime stuck completely stationary for the duration of unleashing it.

[i]Xorzin's Dark Doppelganger[/i]

Xorzin's trump card, when needs must, the Noble Arm can possess and separate Ayahime's shadow, forming it into an inverted "alter" version of its wielder named "Xorzia", a perfect physical clone aside from black eyes, purple hair, red clothes and blackish-red pentagrams for earrings. Xorzin's alter body possesses all of the powers the Noble Arm normally has, completely independent of Ayahime, even a copy of the weapon's blackened form. However, the copies of their powers are "flavored" accordingly. For example, the fog created by [i]Foreboding Shroud[/i]. Ayahime is stuck with the relatively harmless version, while Xorzia is constantly being worn down by her harm-inducing version, leaving the latter more ferocity but less staying power in the long run.

In the meantime, for the duration of this ability, Ayahime is left free of Xorzin's direct influence while also lacking a shadow. While they still share a telepathic communication, Xorzia cannot influence Ayahime's control of her own copy of Xorzin's powers or vice-versa. As a result, both Ayahime and Xorzia gain a rank-up to Precision B for the purposes of unleashing and controlling their flames, due to not having to struggle against each-others' desires. Ayahime's Persistence ranks up to C due to no longer having to divert effort to restraining Xorxin, while Xorzia's Speed ranks up to B due to no longer being hampered by Ayahime's hesitance and good will.

Able to move up to 200 meters/658 feet away from her "benefactor" at any given time, the doppelganger remains manifested for as long as Xorzia can manage to hold out in the face of her own constant self-inflicted and accumulated outside damage and exhaustion. With the same physical "stats", she can be killed as easily as Ayahime. The ability also ends if Xorzia loses grip on her blackened copy of the Noble Arm or Ayahime is killed/utterly exhausted.

[i]Xorzin's Foreboding Shroud[/i] (Passive)

Shortly after Xorzin finishes manifesting, whether by Ayahime's or its own will, it will begin emitting a reddish-black fog of darkness in a 6-10-foot radius of her position that will persist so long as the Noble Arm remains summoned. The fog's varying range is a result of Ayahime's movement, growing shorter in front of her the faster she runs in a given direction and spreading out to its fuller range if she takes a moment to move relatively little. As such, the outward assumption that she is always at the center is false, especially in a heated combat.

The fog greatly hinders sight. Aside from Ayahime, those inside are unable to visually perceive further than 3 feet in front of them. While within the fog, Ayahime's footsteps -but not other sounds- are completely silenced.

Normally, other than sensory inhibition, the fog is harmless. However, if Xorzin is presently in control, the fog gains the same rash-inducing quality as the self-summon fog, harming and rapidly draining Ayahime. Ayahime is dangerously ignorant of her mounting fog-induced damage/exhaustion until Xorzin dissipates.
