[APPEARANCE]
[NAME]Yuki "Oni" Tachibana
[GENDER]Female
[AGE]18
[PERSONALITY]Yuki is a rather quiet, serious seeming person on the surface. She doesn't talk much, and tends to stick to herself. However, she is not a loner by any means - she enjoys other peoples company, and is a fan of group activities. She simply prefers not to be the center of attention, and is actually somewhat on the shy and reserved side. She is neither quick to anger or especially violent, but when presented with no other alternative she is quick to act in a decisive, effective manner.
She rarely if ever will bother to defend herself, but will always step forward on behalf of someone else. She has a notorious sweet tooth and greatly enjoys sports and other physical activities, and is a fan of foreign music. She is usually the first to volunteer her assistance when someone needs it, though she maintains a humble disposition and never brags about her talents or accomplishments.
Yuki is deeply insecure due to her experiences growing up, and despite her eagerness to participate in group activities she tends to maintain a slight amount of distance for what she regards as their safety. She is very eager to please and invests a lot of time and energy into being regarded well by others, and struggles with low self-esteem.
[BACKSTORY]Yuki's early life was fairly uneventful. Born to a salaryman and a traditional housewife, and the youngest of three children. However, while her family held similar Quirks as the one she would develop, hers manifested in such a way as to make her blatantly stand out from other children her age and complicate certain activities. Her resemblence to mythical red oni didn't help matters, and she was often treated differently as a result - some teased and bullied, but the larger issue was those who simply assumed she must be a violent, dull-witted and ill tempered girl.
This kind of bias would follow her throughout her childhood and into her teenage years, and over the course of her schooling she did indeed end up in a number of fights. Early on she sometimes let her temper get the better of her while being teased, taunted and bullied, but as she got older she learned to tune out these situations. However, she was never able to ignore when someone else was being bullied in a similar manner, and would often end up in fights on their behalf.
She often got in trouble for this, and while some did know her as friendly and helpful most regarded her as a violent, dumb tomboy due to her sporty hobbies and quiet demeanor. Growing up she was never really able to shake this reputation, and her inability to simply play idle bystander would extend to the outside world. Although she never considered herself an active vigilante and never outright searched for crime to prevent, she often came across it in her day to day life - drunks and gang members harrassing lone civillians, attempted muggings of a store she happened to be in, and so on.
Quite a few of her scars came from the resulting fights, though the nature of her Quirk always turned it in her favor whenever blood was drawn. Her distinctive appearance and the injuries inflicted on the criminals she ended up in conflict with left her easily identified and marked as a vigilante - and were it not for the timely intervention of one Michiko Nishiwaki, she likely would have faced severe legal reprocussions for it.
Recruited by the Big Sister Hero of Japan, Yuki hopes to finally turn her reputation around and become a beloved and respected hero.
[QUIRK]Molten Blood - Her Quirk is responsible for her Oni-like appearance, but aside from her horns this is largely aesthetic side effects. It's true function lies within her blood, which has taken on a bright yellow, magma-like quality thanks to an additional, furnace-like chamber in her heart. Her blood burns extremely hot and she has a very high body temperature - uncomfortably warm to the touch, and when worked up with physical activity capable of inflicting mild burns through prolonged skin contact.
Her blood can be excreted through specialized pores in her skin, giving the appearance of being able to coat herself in bright yellow magma or conjure a handful of it at will. This magma blood is dense and sticky, and the outer layers of it will quickly start to cool and harden when exposed to air or water. However, this traps the heat in the inner layers and will force it further 'down' into whatever object or person it has clung to. This can result in burns that worsen over time unless the blood is properly removed or fully cooled.
Once fully cooled, the blood is as hard and dense as stone but becomes brittle and can be shattered with enough force. These characteristics are the result of abnormally high mineral and sugar content in her blood, which become molten after passing through the furnace-like chamber of her heart. In order for her blood to retain these properties, she has to injest large amounts of iron, sugar and other minerals - and adjusting her diet directly influences the consistency of her blood, such as eating less sugar to decrease stickiness and vice-versa.
Overuse of her Quirk can result in all the normal effects of blood loss, although the stickiness and rapid cooling of her blood does give it a self-sealing property should she be cut in some manner. When low on blood she is required to spend time resting with proper nutrition in order to recover her blood supply. Although her body temperature runs extremely high and she could be mistaken to have heat immunity, exposure to hot enough substances can still burn her.
[SKILLS]Sporty - Yuki is fit and physically active, and rather skilled at a variety of sports. Although she is not superhumanly strong or fast by any means, she has a solid understanding of sport theory and how to execute various maneuvers thanks to practice and serving as a member of various sports teams during high school.
Big Eater - In part thanks to being so physically active and in part thanks to her biology, Yuki is capable of putting away a lot of food and drink for her size. While not a particularly useful skill, she has managed to use it to show up some of her 'fellow jocks' in a contest or two.
Singer - Yuki is a big fan of foreign music, and sings along to it - but only when alone. As a result, she has a surprisingly good singing voice and a decent vocal range.
[SAMPLE POST]At first, Yuki thought her day had taken a sudden turn for the worst. Apparently, at some point or another, her intervention and 'vigilantism' had ended up being reported. Maybe it was one of the criminals she had scared off, or maybe it was one of the bystanders in that conveneince store last week. Or maybe it was the clerk himself, or just the security footage, that got her in trouble?
Either way, a massive woman had shown up with evidence of her vigilantism in hand. The red-skinned teenager had thought for sure that she was going to be hauled off to spend some time in a jail cell for... However long they put people away for a few counts of vigilantism? As it turned out, though, it wasn't that cut and dried.
She was being given an offer, and one that sounded too good to be true. It was a chance for her to turn things around for herself, avoid punishment for engaging in vigilantism, and to change how people saw and treated her. Even though it was presented as an ultimatum of sorts, there really was only one answer she could possibly give.
So, with an uncharacteristically large smile on her face and an eager nod, she gave her answer in an enthusiastic tone. "Yes, of course! I promise to do my best!"
[OTHERS]-She is taller than average at 5'8"
