Name: Gina Hanako (silvery flower-child), Midori (Seishi name)
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Position: Seishi
Symbol and location: Ox: Located on the nape of the neck.
Power:
Unaffectedness to other Seishi powers: Gina had the ability not to be affected by other Seishi when they attack her. This is not her strongest skill and if she loses concentration while the other Seishi are using their skills on her she could get hurt and once that starts it will take her some time to manage to regain contra of the situation and shield herself form their attacks once more. This can also help lessen attacks form the Fiend’s allies but not to the same extent as other Seishi.
Absorbing other Seishi’s skills: She can create a deep green orb with which she absorbed the powers of the Seishi attacking her-or the allies of the Fiend or the Fiend themselves-and then use them against them. However, if she were to use this skill too much it could backfire on her and the more powerful the foe the more energy it takes from her.
Weapon: Gina has a broadsword with a green emerald in the pommel, and the blade is thick like that of a broadsword but the finish blade is a bit similar like the edge of a katana. This was a gift to her from Akahana when they became good friends. Although she never knew of the lifestyle of her silent friend, since the red-haired assassin wished to keep her safe from Zuku and her enemies.
Birthplace: Okinawa, Japan
Affiliation: Genbu
Appearance:
Gina stands at 5’10 and is rather slim and fit due to her healthy lifestyle. She has long silver-white hair and it reaches her waist and it is slightly longer than that distance and it is cut in several layers. She mainly has it lose although at times she might tie it up depending on the activity she wishes to perform, either general fitness or martial arts. Her skin is tanned due to her taking holidays to the seaside and being a member of performing dances and making public samurai exhibitions whoever her friends requested it of her for their events in the city. She usually wears a scarlet dress with openings for the legs and a white belt tied around her waist. She wears scarlet boots that go eel with the dress and has several gold jewels with emerald gems in them, such as an arm bracelet, wrist protectors, a belt and a tiara. They also match the colour of her deep eyes (emerald green).
Personality:
Proud and stubborn: Gina is rather proud of her own merits, who would not be in her situation? But she takes it up to a fault and that does not help her, it could be used against her by an enemy or it could force her to make dashed decisions, such as being rebellious and rather distant from everyone else, which means she is missing out on the grand things of life. She is so happy with her skills and abilities and so independent that her pride blinds her and makes her believe she can come out of every single situation without anyone else’s help. she had never failed in the past and it only helped extend her ego in that way, she did not fail then she would not fail now… That adding up to her narrow-minded attitude makes it difficult for her not to get into trouble most of the time. When she makes up her mind it is almost impossible to make her do otherwise. All in all these are traits of a strong and independent person but to such extreme they could also be used against her.
Perfectionist: Due to the incidents in her past and the great expectations from her parents, she decided to do everything at hand to be a perfect girl. That said, she is very demanding of herself and she ensured to do every single job perfectly. She does not allow herself to be off guard at any moment nor does she allow any more mistakes. She constantly strives to master her techniques not only in fighting skills but also tactics and wisdom. She constantly practices to be the best dancer in her area and also the best martial artist in Okinawa. This is also a result of her admiring her old friend Akahana.
Cheerful rascal and trickster: She is quite beautiful and she knows it, Gina makes use of every skill she was gifted with, however she never takes things too far since she appreciates her virtue and knows it would not be beneficial to her. She is also a bit of a cheerful rascal and loves teasing others and she does not hide the enjoyment and she can be quite honest most of the time. But that also ensure she can be a trickster and fool others if that will help her achieve her goals.
History:
Born in Okinawa she had a bit of an uneventful life and though she was quite happy and loved to spend most of her time with her father whenever he went fishing or simply enjoying her time at the beach. Her parents are vegetarians so she also indulged in not eating meat. They would at times eat fish and eggs but that was all the meat they would eat. It all depended on her father’s luck for fishing that day. She was always a very active child and due to her many talents her mother enrolled her in a dance academy and her father in a martial arts dojo. Despite being loving parents they were far more demanding than anything else and they made her the perfectionist she became and she was never satisfied with her work since it never pleased her parents. Despite excelling at school, University and even afterwards as a professional dancer and martial arts performer, it never seemed to be enough for them.
It was when returning from a festival that she came across Akahana and they immediately bonded and became good friends although the red-haired lady never wanted to talk about her actual life Gina would understand that and never forced any confession from her friend in the hopes that one day she would learn what she did not know about her. Once she was granted the greatest award for the martial arts performance Akahana gave her the sword she always carried form the moment she received it and she is careful with it and handles it with care. She is fond of that sword and often carries it in its scabbard on her back. Since she is usually running everywhere in a hurry not to be late, it is the easiest way to carry the blade.
It was at her current life that she discovered her personality skills and began to used them on people, teasing others and tricking them, not with an ill intent though but simply because she is a rathe playful person and loves to see how others react to her jokes. this earned her some friends and enemies but she is rather easy going in that aspect and does not care what others thing of her, she is honest above all else and doesn’t take what others say seriously unless they are her friends or family. Of course once a person reaches the limits of her patience and offends her pride or loved ones she can be a person’s worst nightmare and the fact that she is greatly gifted with the martial arts ensures few people dare to confront her or test their luck with her patience. Once she passed her final exams at University, her parents gave her a beautiful wooden transverse flute which she easily learned to play since she had musical talents and she always carries the flute on her belt.
It was while reading the book she found that was telling the story of how Akahana fell into the world of the Four Gods-which she fund hard to believe at first-that suddenly, in the midst of watching her friend meet the rest of her Seishi, she felt a beam of light envelop her and then she passed out not realising that she was being summoned to Genbu in order to become the Ox Seishi and protect their newly found miko.
