So... Pay no attention to the blurb underneath her because that will be discarded almost completely to make her fit this, but still... Liked that design and I've been looking for a place to use it in for a while now. ^^;

It looks good! I wish I could do that.

Name: Kaede
Age: 49
Job Class: Ronin Half Demon
Weapon: Kaede is kinda a walking armoury but her main weapon is her Katana along with her Chain weapon and the daggers she keeps on her person.
Clothing: She doesnt have a very well developed sense of modesty so generally she wears things that are easier to move in, sometimes infiltrating Shinobi gear while other times stereotypical samurai attire.
Height: 5'6
Appearance:
Personality: Kaede has a war leader mentality. She has spent a great portion of her life on the battlefield, siegeing castles and defending borders. This has skewed her personality more towards distrust and anger and aggression. However she has a warmth in her, a blunt empathetic streak for those she cares about and a bold charismatic laugh. She likes to drink and she likes to love and she enjoys songs and tales and games, though very few would ever know it. In the line of duty she has no time for foolishness or emotional displays and she comes down hard on anyone displaying such. As a rule she dislikes men, her appearance and way of life having been challenged and degraded by almost every male she had ever met, the only exception being her elder brother. She is dedicated and loyal, not one for deception or betrayal and she is someone who enjoys devoting herself to a cause.

History: Kaede's mother was a noble lady from a very prominent family, daughter to a feudal lord and relative of the Emperor. A strange and mysterious stranger arrived at her court, a man with elegant and regal dress and with great scholarly knowledge. He was welcomed by her father and gradually as the pair began to know eachother better they grew closer, this mysterious man wooing her very capably and with passionate fervour. She was lovestruck and the pair married soon after with permission from her father. The lady was slightly perplexed by some of her husband's activities and hobbies, going out late at night and sometimes leaving her for days on trips that he only vaguely described when he returned. However she was not one to pry over-much and she loved her husband so she naturally accepted his faults. A year after their marriage, everything changed. The Lady gave birth to a baby girl with a shock of red hair, red eyes and a strange red symbol on her brow. Her husband dismissed her very anxious concerns about her, saying that their baby was simply special.

They named her Kaede for the maple leaf colour of her hair and everything seemed fine. But Kaede's mother was no longer complacent and she began looking deeper into her Husband's activities. She became distant from her child and obsessed with discovering her husband's secrets, enevitably finding out eventually that her Husband was in fact a very old and powerful Tengu, a Crow Demon. She went completely mad, trying to murder her own daughter and screaming and cursing her whole family. Kaede's father was forced to save her from her mother's violent outbursts, sadly abandoning his beloved wife and taking his little daughter far away to his mountain home when she was only a year old. There she met her two half siblings, both being full demons and absolutely delighted to know her finally. An elder brother named Maroku and a second eldest sister called Kirara. They both accepted her warmly into their family and her father raised her with love and pride.

Kaede grew up headstrong and determined, her demon family sheilding her from encounters with other demons until she was old enough to understand the danger she was in. She wanted to help her family somehow, knowing that as she was she would never be any use. So she trained as a warrior, passionately training day after day to become a greater and better warrior who could look out for herself and not burden her family. Eventually she left the mountains, knowing that she had to make her own way in the world. She encountered every possible type of person, some would curse her and drive her away for her red hair and strange eyes while others would ignore that about her and see to her great strength and talent. She befriended many lords or Samurai who persuaded her into their army against some opposing lord or brigand. She helped many people but never truly stayed anywhere, her life becoming a long string of battles and blood.

She lost many friends and even a Lover, a young Kunoichi with a fierce yet sweet heart. They were together for a long time, the longest Kaede had ever spent in one place, they loved eachother greatly. But the girl died on a suicide mission for her lord, one that Kaede had begged her not to take. The girl had refused, she was too dedicated for that and even though Kaede had tried to follow her she had not been fast enough, her lover dying in her arms. After that she had left once more to wander the land and pick up causes to fight for, endeavouring to find her place.

Strengths:
Good Leader
Kaede has alot of experience with leading others and making people want to follow her. Her determination and honorable personality, along with her charismatic way of being, tends to make people want her to lead them.

Demon powers
Kaede has a strong endurance for almost everything be it pain, noise, trauma or poison. She can take alot of damage and still be fighting as well as being able to hold her liquor twice as well as any strong man. She hits harder than a normal human soldier as well as having better reflexes. She also has a very subtle supernatural ability, being able to instill fear in the hearts of her enemies. A weak-willed person might run from her while someone of strong heart would quake under her gaze.

Weapon Master
Kaede had alot of access to weaponry and good tutors as a child. Her brother was encouraging as well as her father and so she has always been able to pick up any weapon and use it at an intermediate level at the very least. She has mastered the Katana as well as hand-to-hand combat and is generally an armoury on legs.

Weakness:
Mental:
1) She has great trouble controlling her anger when not on a mission and the number of times she causes riots because of her demonic appearance and violent manner gets ridiculous.
2) She easily insults people and doesnt like to apologise or acknowledge she did anything wrong. She generally thinks people should just get over it and grow up.

Physical:
1) She lost advanced sight in her eye at a battle involving the greatest samurai of that age, Asuka-dono. She can now only detect changes in light levels and some vague movement in that eye.
2) She is reckless with her safety and body, often pushing herself way too far and nearly getting herself killed a bunch of times.
3) She is definately not quiet, infiltration is not her forte she does serious battle or harsh diplomacy.

Likes: Laughing, drinking, touching and hugging people, battle, singing, reading
Dislikes: painting, embroidery, manners, men, hypocrisy, overly-sensitive people, cowards
Dream: She wants to find a place where she is needed and accepted with people she loves and wants to protect and who want to protect her.
Fear: She fears becoming useless and unloved, losing all the people she cares about and not being strong enough to save those she wants to save.

I'll submit a CS when I have the time! >;3 >;3

Also, um... pretty sure I know who I'm using now. ^^;

She is kind of an expy of a character from something I like but she's too cute to resist.

Name:
Yukino Hanami

Age:
23

Class:
Priestess

Weapon:
Sacred Long Bow
Kunai Knives

Clothing:
Standard White Haori, with larger than average butterfly sleeves.

Standard Red Hakama, with a large bow on the front just below the bust.

White Tabi, and two inch Geta.

Height:
5'1"

Appearance:


Personality:
A kind, sweet woman with a passion for helping others. She's never not doing something, and often feels like she isn't doing enough to help people. She had a serious nature, but is also very free-spirited and can be goofy depending on the situation. She doesn't like to let others know when something is bothering her, as she prefers not to have people worrying about her. For the most part, she is level-headed and soft spoken, unless someone is going against her wishes. She believes she knows what's best for herself, and others and expects people to listen to her. Due to her mostly sheltered life from outside people, she has very little experience with genuine friendships and love.

History:
Hana was born in a brothel to some poor, nameless woman who had been sold into slavery by her parents. Her mother didn't survive, and Hana would be kept as a servant until she could work on her own. Unlike some of the babies born in the brothel, she was given a chance at a better life when a High Priestess from a distant village came to take her, sensing a larger than average spiritual pool in the area. At first, she thought it would be one of the brothel girls that had barely come of age and were still 'pure', but instead she stumbled upon a girl no older than five years old mopping the hardwood floors of the brothel. Suddenly taken back by someone so young in the brothel, The High Priestess made plans to buy the young girl, though she could have probably succeeded in taking the girl since she was unsupervised. Instead of doing that, she sought out the person who owned the brothel, a pervy middle aged man who was reluctant to sell the girl. He had plans for her, but once The High Priestess named a fair enough price he budged. Not only taking Hana with her, she took the only other young girl in the brothel with her as well to save her. Honestly, she wanted to take them all, but she knew they were past saving for what she had in mind.

When they arrived at the shrine, Hana was cleansed of all the filth she had been surrounded by from the start of her life. The High Priestess, Chihomi, settled the girls into their new home and prepared Hana for her original plans the moment she left the Brothel behind her. Chihomi knew if she left her there, her potential would be wasted and her spirit would stray from the correct path. Her goal was to build Hana up, so that she could one day take over her Shrine which was only a small, humble building with a few villagers following at the moment.

During the first several years of their training, Hana learned how to perfect various tonics, spot herbs, and master her intuitive gift. Over the span of her childhood, Hana began to recognize Chihomi as the mother she never knew she was missing. She bonded to her almost immediately as Chihomi was sweet, and caring; Everything you would expect a good mother to be. The High Priestess began to recognize their relationship as well.

Her training would continue for nearly two decades with Chihomi, where she would learn to shoot a bow and arrow with near impeccable accuracy, and utilize all of the spiritual knowledge Chihomi had passed down to her. The amount of followers the shrine had grew immensely over the twenty years she trained with Chihomi, and though it still looked humble they fixed the place up to be more than liveable. Shortly after her training was completed, the village was attacked by a band of Spider Demons. She and Chihomi fended them off successfully, but unknown to Hana, The High Priestess had been poisoned.

The next morning she awoke to a normal day and headed to The High Priestess' chambers. There, Chihomi dismissed herself as High Priestess and told Hana she would go die somewhere far away from the village. She told them she had been poisoned and would be turning into a Demon herself soon, but she planned on killing herself before then. The rest of the Priests said nothing, and nodded obediently, even Hana. That was the day she inherited Chihomi's Shrine.

Strengths:
-A skilled archer having taken up the bow like a lot of the Shrine Maiden. She very rarely misses a shot.
-Being of pure mind, body, and spirit she is especially resistant to dark forces, and demons.
-Has the ability to heal herself and others.
-Her intuition is like a sixth sense, letting her know exactly what she needs to know in most situations.
-Enhanced Eye-sight, meaning she can see spirits, barriers, etc.
-Misc. Spiritual abilities.

Weakness: (two mental, three physical)
-Stubborn, once she has made up her mind about something she will not change her stance on the issue. If she doesn't want to do it, you will have a hard time getting her to do it. She's somewhat of a know it all and very rarely admits to being wrong even if she is, simply because she isn't used to being wrong. The gift of a strong intuition has made her that way. Don't argue with it.

-She hates to take a human life, and often hesitates before dealing a finishing blow. Afterwards, she becomes depressed and wonders if it was the correct thing to do. She would rather there be other means to end a dispute.

-Unskilled in hand-to-hand combat due to her reliance on her bow.

-Physically, she is on the weak end of the spectrum which makes her easy to overpower in close range combat.

--Human frailty, she has no special abilities that make her superhuman.

Likes:
Children, Small Animals, Sunsets, Green Tea, Blue, Flowers, Sweet Smells, Sushi, Sweeping the Shrine Steps, Finding Herbs, Purification enchantments, Meditation, and Archery.

Dislikes:
Death, Rain, Being touched, Rudeness, Perverts, Bandits, Unnecessary fighting

Dream:
To run the best Shrine in Japan; To live in Peace

Fear:
To lose a loved one, but she has no one else she loves.

Okay, all done.

Hope you like.

My other idea is less Touhou-y but still only came to mind because I have that game stuck in my head.

And that would be Kaguya-hime from the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, which... is probably a bad idea. Since... immortal moon princess.

She's too nice and afraid of killing people

Who is Touhou and Kaguya-Hime?
