I have talked over something with the GM, and because Hanako's going to have to sit out any fights that are known about in advance... well, this girl is here to pick up the slack: [b]Name:[/b] Aikawa Yumiko [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1148378]She is actually prettier than the picture indicates.[/url] [b]Personality:[/b] Warm and friendly, Yumiko doesn't often speak unless spoken to--but this doesn't mean she has high tolerance for rudeness or over-familiarity. Such things act rather like flipping a switch; the brunette can be incredibly cold if annoyed. She prefers doing to thinking, and gets antsy pretty quickly if she's got nothing to keep her hands occupied. She's pretty good at keeping her emotions hidden when it's practical--even if this means quashing her desire to help those in need. [b]Abilities:[/b] With an affinity of 'flowers', Yumiko's direct magic tends to look fairly silly. This is because... well, it's basically pulling flowers out of a basket and throwing them at people or the ground. The magic only comes about because she's grown it into them in the first place--though she has a sizeable enough garden, and her affinity massively helps, so she's not in danger of running out unless she's truly wasteful. The effects are fairly easy to see coming, but can get decidedly nasty if not dealt with immediately. Like a rose bush sprouting that sprays thorns as directed, or an enormous flytrap. The more metaphorical ramifications of flowers, however, have exactly one relevance to Yumiko: all the links to beauty have made her [i]stunningly[/i] beautiful... and she wishes that she could turn it off. Unfortunately, she's grown into it rather than its being a magical overlay, so there isn't too much that can be done. She hates the attention. [b]Weapons/Equipment:[/b] Her flowers. There's rather a lot, but she's cautious in using them--and if anyone else throws them, they'll wither due to the lack of the latent magic's activation. Some can activate directly, but others need to grow first. [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] Yumiko hails from a young and relatively new mage family--and so, she had absolutely no knowledge of Toshiko upon meeting the older female whilst she was finishing her education in London. They kept in contact whilst Yumiko was learning and once she returned home met up in person again. They're friends, and though Yumiko isn't an employee, she often helps out. Her family might be new to magic, but they're influential in business. Hence how she has the time to help out Toshiko for free.
