[list][*][b]Name[/b]: Saotome Ami
[*][b]Age[/b]: >500
[*][b]Gender[/b]: Female
[*][b]Appearance[/b]: [url=http://safebooru.org//images/1552/d9421f8c03618115bf62b9ad815b11de6be1d8f9.jpg]Older than she looks.[/url]
[*][b]Personality[/b]: Ami's a rather relaxed person: she enjoys meeting new people, taking time to paint, and nowadays watching TV. However, she's got a resolute moral core and a sense of duty with her abilities--as bad as vigilantism is, the vampire can't stomach sitting by and doing nothing. This desire to help people is why, despite her age and lack of interest in the actual result, she continues to participate in the White Night every time it occurs--not to mention that she promised she'd keep an eye on it.
Capable of being friendly to anyone.
[*][b]Abilities[/b]: For one, Ami's a vampire with all the advantages and disadvantages that come with it. Secondly, she's had a long time to work out what her Night affinity is good for. Notably, she has a spell that allows her to function in the daytime despite that normally being a no-go. Her favoured repertoire also includes contact spells to put someone to sleep, or influence the emotional state of a target. Due to some overlap with other affinities, she's also not half bad at illusions.
If combat actually needs fatal damage, however, she's reliant entirely on common spells that, filtered through her affinity, look somewhat terrifying. Unrefined magical damage on a touch--not necessarily by her hands--is her bread and butter if it comes to that.
[*][b]Skills[/b]: Combat-wise, not all that much: she can dodge vastly well, but her idea of actual mortal combat relies entirely on simply touching someone, so her offensive skills tend not to employ much of the strength that she could use. She's got huge amounts of practice at her current and previous mundane jobs, at least. And painting.
[*][b]Equipment[/b]: Seeing as she's on her home turf, Ami's very well stocked on the magical equipment side of things, though her actual use of items when it comes to it is pretty minimal. Her bar, however, is very well prepared for anyone not expecting a literal siege. Aside from being quite a resilient piece of property and notably smaller than its neighbouring buildings, it has floorboards with runes on the underside... that simply put to sleep anyone on them that starts a fight. Various structural components likewise cause a minor illusion that obscures talk of the magical from anyone without at least the potential.
[*][b]Brief Backstory[/b]: Over half a century ago, out of memory of any western magic users or those interested in the White Night, a vampire came to the small settlement that evolved into Rokuro. Their stay didn't really have much impact--except on one of the girls living there, who continued to rely on accommodating travellers for years afterwards, whilst the settlement grew.
Things changed for Ami when the first westerners to arrive in the place were able to take note of her oddity and, when the ritual's real time-scale became apparent, enlisted the local undying girl to keep an eye on it through the ages and to stop it spilling out into the public. A few even spent some time teaching the vampire basic magic so that she would stand a better chance over time.
Thus, over the centuries, Ami has become essentially a fixture of the White Night--stepping in where possible if things are getting too heated to keep it secluded. She's also moved into explaining the scenario for anyone that might happen to just... stumble onto things or enter with incomplete knowledge, though her more pressing concern is trying to prevent the more moral participants from getting killed off and encouraging their success.
She moved out of the hostelry business and now mostly runs a bar, one that still functions as an effective neutral zone and refuge for the White Night: no matter if people were mortal enemies half an hour ago, they'd better not start anything on the premises. It's also one of the few public places in the city where the supernatural can be openly discussed without spilling everything to the public. There are, however, rooms to rent--all conspicuously free now that the ritual's starting, though they have an unmentioned cost...
She's never actually left Rokuro.
