Name: Manami (Ami) Kataoka (Seishi Name: Kukyo)
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Position: Seishi
Symbol and location: 空 (Emptiness) - Located above the left ear, underneath the hair.
Power:
Birthplace: Nyosei Island
Affiliation: Genbu
Appearance: Black hair with a long purple streak over the left ear. The hair falls thick and straight past her thighs, and is usually worn up in an elaborate design with multiple flowers, or occasionally jeweled hairpieces. Her eyes are deep golden. She typically wears full geisha-style makeup (even on guard duty) and floral, feminine qipao. These are usually cut several inches above the knee and fit closely to her body, though the sleeves are spacious and flowing, leaving room to disguise her manriki-kusari. These are paired with knee-high, black leather boots, which are both sturdy for defense, and soft enough for stealthy movement. She is physically petite, about 4' 10", and quite thin. She wears tighter clothing in order to accentuate her feminine qualities, which are otherwise somewhat lacking.
Personality: Bratty tsundere. She is basically that annoying kid-sister figure that loves to poke, prod, and irritate you until you are ready to snap her neck, and then does something adorable so you can't bring yourself to actually hate her or do her harm. She then fervently (and sometimes violently) denies that she ever did anything adorable. She is hyper-feminine, and also hyper-tough, and will challenge anyone who has the nerve to suggest that those two should not coexist. Beneath the aloof girliness, the hyper-toughness, and the bratty annoyingness however, she is a very loyal and sweet-natured girl who can be genuinely, deeply loving and very cute - as long as no one acknowledges the cuteness.
History: She was born and raised on Nyosei Island, and has never left the island in her life. After the initial manifestation of her power (involving an attempted escape of a male prisoner that resulted in a fight, wherein she displayed both her earth and blood powers), the village elders insisted that she was a Seishi, and over her protests, insisted that she go in search of the Miko. When she refused to do so, she was banished from the island, and now with nothing better to do, is grudgingly searching for the Miko. She has a history as a handmaiden, and as a result is accustomed to extreme femininity, including elaborate makeup and hairstyles, stylish clothing, etc. More recently she became a guard for the Nyosei Island spa, and has thus been given extensive weapons, defensive, and tactical training.
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Position: Seishi
Symbol and location: 空 (Emptiness) - Located above the left ear, underneath the hair.
Power:
- Earth Power - ability to manipulate earth in a defensive capacity, such as to move rocks into the path of oncoming attacks, and ability to raise plateaus or sink the ground beneath the feet of herself or others in order to remove them from the path of potential danger. This ability is also useful for avoiding the necessity to actually climb mountains, etc.
- Blood Magic - the ability to take a small amount of blood and increase it via magic. For example, if an enemy has a bleeding paper cut, an application of this power can increase the size of the injury to something more serious. Obviously, the more she increases the size of the injury, the more power it consumes on her part. *Note: this ability only works with injuries that are actively bleeding.*
- Psychic (General) - inherited from her family. A low powered ability to sense ill or positive intentions of others (like a gut feeling), and limited ability to lift thoughts from the minds of others. This ability is significantly less effective on people who are close-minded or of very strong character. Most members of her family have a much stronger version of this power, but hers is quite limited.
- Psychic (Death) - glancing at any living person will give a brief, immediate, and very detailed vision of the moment of that person's death. These visions appear without any conscious effort on her part, and she is unable to prevent it from happening. She will see the vision each time she meets someone new, or reencounters someone after having been separated from them for an extended period of time. The death vision can change over time, as a result of changing circumstances, but this skill is ineffective at completely "predicting the future", as the visions are so brief.
