[list][*][b]Name[/b]: Kana Yamaguchi [*][b]Age[/b]: 25 [*][b]Gender[/b]: Female [*][b]Appearance[/b]: [url=http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=11672843]Kana is a a tall, pale young woman with glossy, chin-length black hair.[/url] Her eyes are a teal green, and have been noted to be her best facial feature (since it stands out drastically from her hair and skin). Her slim, physically fit body and above average height for the normal Asian woman (measuring in at about 177 cm) causes her to be often mistaken for a man, although her facial features seem to say otherwise (a little). She often wears a long black trench coat and a grey scarf. [*][b]Personality[/b]: In the eyes of the public, Kana is a calm, levelheaded individual. She seems very observant and patient, and her cool and suave nature seem to infatuate a majority of people she meets. Her normally patient nature makes her able to interact with almost anyone, whether they are overly quiet or extremely loud. She also tends to back away from verbal conflict or small fights and only really gets herself involved when she thinks its necessary, preferring to watch on the sidelines. It takes quite a lot to provoke Kana, as her warm and relaxed nature prevents many from doing so. She tries to be friendly in front of everyone, even her enemies, although acting like that is displayed in a more teasing and almost provocative tone. Kana can also be a bit flirtatious and cheeky on occasion, but that's only during… certain situations. However, all of this kindness is really just an act. At heart, Kana's cold, manipulative and ambitious, and will get what she wants, when she wants. Her acting skills can be incredibly convincing, and the reason she doesn't get involved in too many fights (unless she is forced to) is so her mana isn't wasted on pointless mage battles. She watches people with her incredibly observant eyes and uses her smarts to swiftly take down her opponents. Her callous behaviour is best left hidden under her cheerful mask, though; you really wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Kana Yamaguchi. [*][b]Abilities[/b]: Her Yamaguchi lineage has blessed Kana with the affinity of water and large amounts of mana which makes for a pretty formidable combo. Although the quality of said mana isn't all that special, her knowledge of water spells and control over them gives her a slight advantage. In stark contrast to her personality, Kana's water spells can be rather… extravagant. She often produces large waves of water and uses them for various purposes. Her usual offensive attacks consist of using these large waves of water to hit the opponent with great force. [*][b]Skills[/b]: Even though she has some knowledge and experience in hand-to-hand combat, Kana doesn't particularly excel at it, preferring her use of long distance water attacks instead. Kana is also a very good actor and is able to fool most people quite easily. [*][b]Equipment[/b]: A simple dagger if someone gets too close. [*][b]Brief Backstory[/b]: Like many other families, the Yamaguchi's have been competing for the Origin of All Magic for centuries. Despite this, this family always seemed to be lagging behind, retreating back with many sore and crippling injuries. 'A reckless group' is what they were often referred to, since they would always rush in with large attacks even though they possessed little mana. Because of this, the Yamaguchi's weren't very successful, getting destroyed time and time again by other different families. Many years prior to Kana's birth, her great grandparents Takashi and Fujiko Yamaguchi met, eventually getting married a few years later. Fujiko was a mage with great potential, as she was born with large amounts of mana, but an illness prevented her from developing her abilities as a child. As soon as Fujiko had given birth to a child with a slightly larger mana pool than the rest, the Yamaguchi family saw this as their chance to make a comeback. It took many years to produce a child with a mana pool large enough to meet the Yamaguchi family's standards, and during that long time period they decided to dedicate their time to training children up so they'd have a better chance of producing more powerful offspring (instead of heading off into battle for around a century or so). Even if it took three to four generations do so, Kana was their best end product. At a young age they taught Kana how to be sly and cunning, and how to fool her opponents with words rather than fists. They wanted her to be able to fool her enemies with literal surprise attacks, making her put on an 'act' or a 'mask' whenever she was around other people. She learned how to lie effectively, act effectively and manipulate people to do her bidding. Kana would eventually develop into the Yamaguchi's dream warriror; smart, manipulative and someone who can still pack a punch. [*][b]Plot Role[/b]: Charmer[/list]
