For normal dragon scale, Tyaethe is proooooobably about the same size as its tongue (you know, the part that you can see and can move). They're big.

Ibaraki Akari

If anyone else in the room had opted to hug the shy girl, she would have overreacted... and likely gone completely still so as to not potentially break someone's arm by accident. With the tanuki wrapped around her head and promising to protect her from... debt collectors, for some reason, her response was far more subdued: simply a luminescent blush as she was pulled into the much older youkai's head, and a plaintive "Aunt Shiiiinaaaaa, I was drinking..."

Whatever this abducting youkai was, it sounded scary. It could pop up in broad daylight even if nobody was there? What if it got confused and went for the wrong person, or if it got stronger after eating children and decided it wanted to work its way upwards? Akari wasn't intimidating at all! She would have to bribe Hina to stay here after all if it wasn't finished today.

"C-Can't I just stay here? I can't hit ghosts!" And ghosts were scary too! You couldn't hit them and get them to stop whatever they were doing! All she had to rely on was strength, why did they need to go upset an onryo or something by accident when asking questions as well? She didn't want to watch a creepy video and die!

Tyaethe Radistirin

With people gathering to train outside, Tyaethe stretched thoughtfully, looking up towards the sky. Cloudy? Good enough, it would be annoying and burn over time, but it wasn't an immediately pressing concern.

Maritza and Kherun, if looking, were treated to the rather unusual sight of a vampire coming outside in daylight, leaning against her sword. It really put into perspective how absolutely pale that was, although there was definitely less smoke and fire than traditional stories might have indicated.

"So, Maritza, what would you do if you had to fight a dragon?"

Ibaraki Akari

Children were disappearing? Oh no, that was bad, she just wanted to go home normally and not have to worry about strange youkai that couldn't tell the difference between a (very) small teenaged oni and a child. She couldn't just stay here until the problem cleared up on its own, all her stuff was at home and the Zasshiki-Warashi would start demanding she pay rent or something if Akari spent the night and she didn't have enough to drink to just give it away like that...

The girl opened one of the drinks in the plastic bag she had brought along, thinking who it could be. If they could solve it without going anywhere, then that meant Tomoko could fix the problem and she could just go home normally, right? Youkai that were interested in kidnapping children and keeping them, rather than potentially turning them into dinner or some such...

The bottle of definitely-not-fancy-water was placed on the side table Akari had ensconced herself at as she looked at everyone present here.

"I-It isn't Kaori, right?" Just look at how tightly she was holding the not-Tomoko!

Ibaraki Akari

Like the others, Akari was nominally a student at the school. From slipping into the premises clubroom just as school had ended, and the distinct lack of a uniform worn, it would have been impossible to guess. But despite this, she made a valiant effort to blend into the room's background, moving a chair off to one corner and pulling out a book to read while everyone showed up. Hopefully, she could spend the entire meeting like this, and just go home afterwards.

It didn't help that everyone here was so... outgoing. Almost everyone. Akari felt that Homura had the most compatible personality out of the entire club, but she was way too scary! What if she wanted to do some youkai hunting or her family thought this would be a great opportunity to finish what Watanabe-no-Tsuna started or...

Oh no, she was looking this way. Tea? Oh, no, Akari shook her heaed vigorously at that. She wasn't a big fan of tea anyway, and she already brought her own drinks along. And this way she wasn't at risk of being poisoned somehow. Hopefully, she wouldn't mind. Hopefully.

• Name: Ibaraki Akari
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Race: Oni
• Appearance: She's definitely on the short side... and the completely flat side. Akari is one of those highschool students (technically) that everyone eagerly mistakes for a middle school student.
• Personality: Everyone expects an oni to be brash, confident (at least until defeated), and rowdy. At the very least you expect them to be loud or somehow aggressive. This is all completely untrue of Akari, who is happiest communicating with everyone via technology rather than in person, and would much like to be back in her room undisturbed. Even when you get past the extreme shyness by enough association or shared interests, she's still meek, worried about her own strength, and disturbingly skittish. With an extra irrational fear of samurai, which is definitely a bit odd for a girl who's worn traditional clothing every day of her life except the one week she went to school.
• Abilities: Akari is a shockingly powerful oni, for someone that has had no reason to exercise her natural abilities to any extent. Despite her unimposing physique, there are very few people who are going to be winning if it's simply a contest of pitting strength against one another. She's about as difficult to seriously injure; blunt force is mostly useless without some serious strength behind it, and simply cutting her often requires magical assistance or massive force. Plus, like her mother, if it's not cut off entirely it will doubtless heal fine, and losing limbs would be more of a (physical) inconvenience than life-threatening.
  Although she hasn't any practice at using it, Akari has inherited Ibaraki's affinity for Heat--not just heat in the direct sense, but heat as a driving force for changes. It's this affinity that led Ibaraki-douji so easily to shapeshifting, and allows for just reattaching missing body parts later. She's also inherited the ability--or some would call it a mystic scar--common to all of the famous oni's relatives: Lost Arm. So significant was the injury that, even now, her entire extended bloodline has the ability to summon a single phantom arm.
  You know, if two arms isn't enough for hitting things.
• Skills: None of any particular use! She's actually rather clumsy, which is bad because of the strength that comes from being an oni. This also extends to a tendency to trip on things and fall down stairs, though that's more disorienting and worrying for people watching rather than actually dangerous to Akari.
• Equipment: "Mum said I should bring an iron club if something dangerous happens..." She also has a phone, "a little spending money" day to day--that is, enough money that anything of interest to a sixteen year old oni is fine--and a perfectly-accurate seeming ID that nevertheless claims Akari to be an adult, because oni and alcohol are inseparable.
• Brief Backstory: As her name attests, Akari is closely related to the Ibaraki-douji. Extremely closely; Ibaraki is her mother and Akari doesn't have the faintest clue who her father is. This, in and of itself, makes her the closest thing a rowdy bunch like oni can have to royalty--and also, with the benefit of being born into an extremely small family that has had a thousand years of practice avoiding danger and past banditry, used to the wealth that implies.
  Akari spent most of her childhood in a very traditional home, essentially secluded from the non-supernatural world, and told all the supernatural stories one might expect. Of course, the viewpoint was skewed--the role of hero and villain constantly inverted, with the samurai and exorcists vilified for going after oni that were only acting according to their natural desires and compulsions. Given the obvious problems that a supernaturally strong child with some innate drive to prey on humanity could fall into, this also meant a distinct lack of school attendance.
  They moved to a more modern house, one actually positioned conveniently for school, when it was time for Akari to start middle school. After attending for a few days, she just... stopped, the ease with which she had accidentally hurt someone in sports and the pressure of pretending to be human--on top of her own limited experience with so many people--just overwhelming the young oni. Although she's somewhat kept up with the schoolwork, a large amount of Akari's time has instead found itself devoted to popular entertainment--light novels, anime, and so on.
  Ibaraki is hardly someone one would expect to be an experienced parent... or skilled at addressing this in a manner more appropriate than "fight it out", which would hardly help in this situation, so she's been trying to find someone that might help... or at least get Akari to socialise more.
