Katsumi is an alluring woman without even realizing it. She has been praised on her appearance more than 100 times in her lifetime but that doesn’t mean that she agrees or likes these compliments. Her lips are pale pink and are always moisturized. Even though her hair is just a simple black color, there is something that stands out about it. Soft to the touch and as silky as silk itself. She almost always has a flower ornament to go with her hair if it is up. Her bangs are pretty long and perfectly frame her pale skin that is without blemishes.
Her looks manage to enchant people around her. Her black hair is extremely long without giving off that “I don’t bother cutting my hair.” vibe. It flows gently behind her and her expression is usually serious and mysterious when she’s not with someone at the time.
Her eyes are a splendid blend of colors that manage to captivate many. Her eyes give off a gentle feeling but at the same time they don’t look alive much. They are dark while being very colorful.
Her clothing mostly consists of traditional kimonos that are black and white and are made out of soft fabric. She can’t really stand wearing bad quality clothing. Her skin is sensitive and she tends to feel uncomfortable. A few black and red kimonos are mixed in there and a small amount of everyday clothes such as a pure white dress, a blue dress, and a soft black sweater and the such. Of course, she also has a full kendo suit.
She doesn’t wear them all that much though. If ever.
Name: Katsumi Wakahisa
Nicknames/Titles: Lady Katsumi (Those in her household or in her town), The forgiving saint (Saved many from her parents cruel execution system), The demon with a mask (Those that fought her called her this. She isn’t a fan.), Unknown rich daughter (Not much people saw her after she was trapped in her pocketverse), The elegant swords woman , - rest can be decided in RP-
Age: She is 17. However, she feels much older due to the curse she was put under. Gender: Female Race: Demon Sexuality: Never experienced such a thing-- Bisexual or demisexual, perhaps? Magic: When you stay in your home day and night, practicing magic, it would be a shame if you didn’t actually learn much.
>.> Dark path A simple magic is what her parents call it but it took her around 5 "years" to master. A dark path that she can summon in her way to walk on. It is not flying, it is creating a floating pathway that appears as though it is created out of shadows. When she needs to reach something, this proves useful for her since she can walk on up it to get to whatever she wants. However, it's a bit flashy so she doesn't like using it much. On rare occasions, she will make it transparent but this does not last very long. >.>Exchange healing If someone is hurt, she can heal them by giving her blood to them. A simple cut would suffice. It has proved useful for when her siblings were in need of a fast healing. The most it can do is heal broken bones, cuts, and fresh wounds. Someone's head falling off would be a different matter. >.>Taste enhance This is one she learned specifically for her sister Miya. Minor but one of the most proud one that she has learned. Miya didn't like vegetables so she practiced on this and found a way to even make some of the worst foods taste acceptable if not delicious (it depends on your amount of hatred for the food). If she uses this with food that is already perfectly made, it is a taste for the heavens. --And more that she hasn’t mastered but is studying vigorously--
>.> Your sins~ Strengths: Sins themselves can crush your soul and leave you to die. This power gives her access to becoming sin itself somehow. Over the years, she has seen many things and she knows what that can do to someone. She made it so that all of this was transferred into usable power for herself that she can use against someone. Watching a massacre unravel in front of her eyes helped this cause greatly.
After she transfers it into something that she can use against someone, it accumulates in the form of ashes around her. These ashes don’t mean anything and are not used in her battles. Rather, the power of the sins manage to create something that she simply calls "sin mana". With this, she can practically crush the willpower of the person that she is fighting and makes her attacks stronger.
If you are someone that has many sins, she can use this to her advantage greatly.
Weaknesses: This power uses a tremendous amount of mana. Not to be used by people that have not practiced for years. Of course, she has so it does not affect her much. She manages to suppress her pain that she gets when using this.
>.> Aging~ This isn't really a power but she is 18 years old to be precise. However, her parents had cast a spell on her that had the ability to stretch out time. A day could be up to a year. Because of this, she is practically around 1000 in her own mind and hasn't aged in her appearance. Some people might look at this and think lucky. For whatever reason but it's really not. Imagine being told to study for a day and having that "day" be a month or a year for that matter. That's how it was for her.
>.> Enhanced~ Her strength, balance, endurance, and especially her reflexes are extremely enhanced. Over the years, she has found that she could stack up her physical properties over the years. Every time she’s hit, she gets stronger. Every Time she’s scared, she gets more balance. Every time she loses courage, she gets more endurance. Reflexes are just something that she naturally had and got even better over the years. Do not underestimate her strength. She can easily lift things like they are paperweight.
This strength that she has could easily punch the ground and crack the layers. Not that she would do such a destructive thing. Probably.
Catalyst:
A beautiful katana that she holds dearly to her heart. After a while, her power grew overwhelmingly strong and it was tough to maintain it. She discovered this katana that became her catalyst and holds much of her power. It has been passed down her family for generations. The Katanas power all depends on the user. Her fan has extreme stored inside of it that she cultivated herself and uses when she does not feel like fighting with her powers. She is extremely graceful with the katana and accurate. A simple strike into the ground with a reasonable amount of arm power can cause the effect of an earthquake wherever she is if she wanted it to. It does hold a few spells but nothing too much.
She usually has reappear when she needs it. Pretty much making it light weight and invisible. When it does appear, that isn’t usually a good thing. Unless she simply wants to practice.
Other Skills:
Katsumi’s concentration skills are stellar. Once she focuses on something, it will be hard to take her out of that trance and you won’t be greeted too kindly if she doesn’t know someone is around her.
Researching is something that she can do easily. Give her a topic, a library, and at least 30 minutes. She'll be able to speak about the topic as though she had known about it all her life. It's a bit scary. This is mainly because of her memory which is spectacular~ She can keep stuff in her mind for a long time as long as she reviews it from time to time.
Reading. She can read a book very quickly. Well, she loves to read. Adores it. Escaping to learn about the world through mere words. It's like another world for her. A lot of times, she'll pick up a picture book and start reading it out loud. A habit I suppose. The youngest did love to hear her read.
She can cook wonderfully. Most of her meals have the sense of a “family meal.” that she made but never really enjoyed herself. Simply watching her siblings enjoy them was enough for her. Her cooking is either simple and elegant or cute and delicious for the younger ones. Traditional Japanese meals are her personal favorite.
Her voice is extremely soothing and it always manages to calm children down which was very useful for her. This resulted in a beautiful singing voice that she uses to, well, sing when she’s bored and alone. Or if she needs to sing a lullaby.
Martial arts such as judo, aikido, and especially kendo. She has practiced practically all her life. Her father was a big fan of martial arts and expected her favorite daughter to be able to surpass him one day. Not that that has happened.
Her kendo skills are spectacular. She became an 8-dan after many “years” which was around 10 years of practicing. This was very hard for her but her father strongly wanted her to become an 8-dan.
Other than kendo, she learned how to wield a katana. This was from her mother who then gave her her catalyst. Wielding her sword and practicing always gets her to calm down and forget about bad things around her. She is pretty vicious with a sword due to the fact that she doesn’t think much when she is fighting with a katana. Inventory: Her katana, though it is invisible. A black vintage kimono bag which always has at least 3 books, one story book and the other ones are whatever she felt like bringing. A full on safe aid kit, and whatever she felt like putting in there. If she doesn’t have the book, she’ll just have her katana and maybe a book with her. Familiar: (Put here if you have a familiar. Only from year 3 up. If someone else's character is your familiar, put a link to the character here)
Personality: Katsumi has an air of elegance and prosperity that apparently follows around her. She grew up taking care of her siblings and never actually having a childhood. Friends aren’t something that she has actually had. Unless you count the occasional tutors that came to check up on her skills as well as possible marriage partners that she never had time for. She has never thought about friends but if she were to be around a group, she most likely would. Kind, caring, and selfless are three words that most describe her usually. She doesn’t think about herself before thinking about the others around her that it would effect and has never thought of someone as a horrid person.
She can't really be around people that are too kind and always wear a smile. They make her feel like they're planning something since her parents were the same. Of course, this doesn't mean that she won't treat them with utmost respect. She just might not want to be around them for too long.
Don’t expect her to show her true emotions. She is pretty straightforward with her thoughts but she has never. And I mean never shown actual fury in her life. She may have expressed it with words but a lot of the times, you can’t even tell that she is angry. Bottling up her emotions is a habit but she does her best not to destroy herself with it. Also, she does not like to show much weaknesses to others. A habit I suppose. Is she shy? Is she stubborn? Is she a rude woman? Is she childish? Guess you’ll find out in the IC~
Backstory: Katsumi grew up in a strict household where it was either excel or be punished for being a failure. She was the 3rd youngest out of the 10 children living in her home but soon, she was the one taking care of them the most.
Her parents were a noble couple that tried their best to have their children be the absolute best and they did not like failures.
She didn’t take much notice to this until the day that her father had the 2nd youngest executed for being unable to cast a certain spell. It was devastating. Not being able to do anything and having to watch your sister's head be mercilessly cut off without a thought. Being only 9 at the time, she simply stood, stunned and shocked at what was happening. She couldn’t understand why it was happening but she understood one thing: Become perfect. Don’t fail. Don’t underestimate your parents cruelty.
Soon, her parents were growing in wealth greatly while Katsumi was locked in her property, studying and studying and trying to become a successful daughter. She didn’t just study magic however. She studied human relations, medicine, math, science, languages, artwork, cooking, and the like. Of course, she made sure to teach whatever she could to her sisters and brothers, not wanting them to fall behind. This wasn’t a situation of “All for yourselves” this was a situation of helping each other survive and not fail to impress her parents. Impressing her parents didn’t necessarily mean following laws and being kind all of the times...
Her parents favored Katsumi because of how much she was excelling. They always at least somewhat listened to her and this resulted in only 3 other siblings getting killed when it would have been 6.
Her magic improved greatly and she soon became a great demon that her parents could brag about every day and that was all that she wanted. However, her siblings thought differently. Even through all of this, they thought that she was planning to surpass them even more and let them get executed since they were of no need. With this, she was devastated. The thought that they thought of her as a monster hit her hard. However, her parents came in at the perfect time, suggesting she become an even better mage at Montagne Academy. She would have wondered if they thought that she wasn’t enough but all she wanted to do now was leave so that her siblings could maybe feel… even just a little bit less stressed because of her.
Name: Vaegwen Ni’Tessine Nicknames/Title: Vae The Huntress Lady Vaegwen Age: Appears mid-twenties, is a little over 500 years old. Gender: Female Race: Elven Sexuality: Heterosexual, most times. Magic: Performs a combination of Bratus-Sanctus Magic. Is able to call the dead to her side to aide in a fight. Can call up to three spirits at a time before it becomes too taxing and she begins to weaken. However, the length of time she can call the three spirits is not limited. She could possibly go up to hours before she begins to feel the drain. Moon Magic, is the ability to call on the light of the moon itself to turn it into weaponry. -Moon magic is a type of magic that her particular race of Elves (In human’s term it is called Moon-Fae) practice. It is the ability to call on the moon and its light to fashion weapons out of it. The larger the weapon, the more draining it is. Vae is particularly talented at fashioning a bow and arrow and short daggers. -The weapons appear almost translucent, silvery in form with a sort of glimmer to them. They are tough and pliable. Resistant to most magic attacks but can be shattered by an enchanted weapon. When the weapon is destroyed it bursts into a shimmery powder that fades into nothing. If the weapon is damaged it can be repaired, however. Water manipulation, due to her inherent ancestry with Moon Magic she has the innate ability to control water. She can transmute water into ice and back again. Because of the two linking magics she can feel storms are coming, but cannot control them. Strengths: Her strongest time is during the night and it grows with the full moon. When her strength is at its peak her Moon Magic’s durability nearly doubles. The weapons become much less prone to break. During a full moon they actually lose most of the translucency, they look almost like a normal steel or metal weapon. She is quite skilled when it comes to archery and short blades. Technically, she can go from a long distance fighter to hand-to-hand in a matter of seconds if she has enough magic to change between the two. She is very adept at calling the spirits of her ancestors. Moon-Fae are very tapped into their lineage so it is not uncommon to see one of her kind able to contact the dead of their kind with little to no effort. Her race believe that power comes from their history, their lineage. Weaknesses: Her weakest times is during the day, obviously, and during a new moon. During a new moon and the day her Moon Magic is useless. She can’t even use water as a resource. During that time she is forced solely to rely on her ability to call spirits and even weapons made from actual metal. During a new moon, the Moon-Fae become almost frenzied. During this time the veil to the Underworld is very thin and the dead are known to come to the Moon-Fae seeking help in some form or fashion. They become overbearing and can even become violent. There are normally special wards set in place to help protect her people. It is not uncommon, however, for her people to disappear for the night. Most times they can be found in the woods amongst the beasts, running free or laying within a body of free running water such a stream or river. Catalyst: Vae wears a double looped band on her forearm. It is silver in color but it is made from an unknown metal. It is cold, almost freezing, to the touch to anyone who is not Moon-Fae. To one of her race it is warm and soothing. There is a two small purple crystal-like stones in each band. Vae refers to it as “The Mother’s Tears”. Each Moon-Fae creates their own in some form when they come of age. It is a sin amongst her people to steal another’s catalyst. Other Skills: She is actually very in tune with nature. Not so much on a magical level but it is because her people live simple lives. They generally live in secluded cities where they live off the land and hunt and grow their own food. In that same retrospect she is easily able to connect with animals. She can even charm them to coming to her. It is not uncommon to see her with some wild animal about the school grounds. She is a master archer due to her being a skilled hunter back in her village. Is a wonderful cook and skilled seamstress. Has a bit of a green thumb. Tends to a small rose garden that she has growing outside of her window in a small suspended trough. The roses have over spilled the initial trough and have started growing partially down the wall. Inventory: Carries a short dagger on her left thigh, always wearing her catalyst. Will carry her bow and arrow during the time of the new moon when her Moon Magic is weakest. Is normally quite resourceful so doesn’t carry much with her around the school grounds unless necessary. Familiar: N/A Personality: Vae is not what one would call cold, but she is not the kindest person you will meet. She is generally pretty reserved and does not like large groups of people. When she is comfortable with someone she opens up much more to them. She is snarky but straight forward. Her race believes in the truth, no matter how brutal or blunt it may be. Vae is not very good when it comes to modern advancements and technology since her people lived a more medieval lifestyle so she generally stays away from such things. Is not quick to trust. Is very patient, however, and has some part of her that is always wanting to protect those who may need it. Backstory: Vae grew up like any normal Moon-Fae child, in the secluded village amongst her kind. Outsiders were very rarely welcomed and travel to the outside world that was not another Moon-Fae village was few and far in between. Her particular village had been housed within a great and ancient forest, one that has sadly long since been lost. In that forest she learned all of the skills that she has today. Technically, amongst her people Vae is considered nobility; her lineage dating back to that of a king. Her people are savage fighters and are known to aide Elven-allied brethren in battle if the call were to occur. By the time she was 50 human years she had seen many a battle. When she was roughly 200 years old her village was ransacked during the time of the new moon. Almost all of her village was slaughtered by the enemies that had come swiftly in the night. A small group and herself had escaped and sought refuge at an allied Moon-Fae village. The slaughter of her family and friends had changed something in side of her and ultimately caused her to leave the safety of her people. She began to travel the young world. There are quite a few gray years that Vae disappeared, roughly 7 or so. She does not speak of those years but she does admit that it was a time of great pain and suffering. One far beyond the time of losing her village. When Vae returned she was aged beyond her years and seemed much more a recluse than what her people already were. During the time that she had been absent a war had broken out between the very race of elves that had slaughtered her village. Wanting retribution for the horror her kind had saw she assisted on the battle field and won many battles due to her savagery. After the war had subsided she took a seat amongst the Elven council for a time where she became an ambassador to the Moon-Fae race. It was during this time that she had been recruited to come to the school to help teach other Moon-Fae elves who had found their way to the school. With the modern times came the modernization of newer generations of her people. She teaches other minor studies but does not generally have large classes. When she does teach the groups are generally small and intimate, such is because she is stuck in her old ways.
