  • Name: Himeno Akira
  • Gender: Female
  • Age: 17
  • Appearance: With an androgynous voice and a tendency to wear baggy or masculine clothing, it's no wonder she's frequently mistaken for a very pretty boy, albeit a short one.
  • Personality: Akira takes her job seriously, given the fact that her life was so directly influenced by the proliferation of dangerous grudges. Grudges must be destroyed as quickly and precisely as possible, for the sake of anyone they could harm. Akira is extremely protective of civilians and will do everything she can to ensure their safety in any situation, even to her own detriment. Aside from her attitude about her job, however, Akira comes across as a somewhat easily exasperated and sarcastic girl. She doesn't enjoying screwing around or silly behaviors, and is likely to have a quite vocal reaction when something annoys her. Rolling eyes and burying her face in her palms is also quite common. This isn't to say she's completely without her own quirks, however, given she can't help but show pride in her own skills, she has a considerable sweet tooth, and a poorly-hidden affinity for cute things(especially cats). While Akira is swift to make a sarcastic comment, she doesn't deal well with teasing or physical proximity and swiftly becomes embarrassed. She is also easily embarrassed by more feminine clothing, especially given she thinks she doesn't look very good in such outfits.
  • Abilities: The only ability directly possessed by Akira from her contract with the spirit inhabiting her weapon is the ability to apply physical enhancements to her body, and a measure of additional physical recovery from injury. These enhancement at the base line make her considerably faster and stronger then she appears, though not as much as someone who has a more direct contract.
  • Skills: Akira has been trained in kenjutsu from a fairly young age, and possesses considerable skill with a katana as a result. Specifically, her skillset is derived from the anti-yokai Awashima Shinkage-ryu, though it is proficient for dealing with all manner of foes supernatural and otherwise. Among her skills are iaijutsu, drawing ones' blade and attacking simultaneously, and the anti-regeneration "sure kill" Higanbana which targets every vital point near instantly in order to prevent healing.
  • Equipment: Akira wields the possessed sword Hanamaru, a relic of the Awashima family. Hanamaru is possessed by a very old yokai spirit, though its recent disuse has caused it to lose considerable power. While the spirit could once manifest in physical form, now she is only capable of speaking to the wielder. Her personality is rather abrasive, at least in Akira's opinion, teasing and prone to attempting to push her to violence more quickly. The katana's possession permits it powerful abilities. It is not merely incredibly sharp, but becomes wreathed in flames during battle to further enhance its cutting ability and burn enemies. It also produces jets and streams of fire for limited ranged capabilities. If the wielder is knocked unconscious, the spirit inhabiting the sword can take temporary control of their body in order to get them to safety or fend off an enemy. Akira would not be happy to learn this.
  • History: Akira was very young when her parents were killed in a strange Grudge-related incident. Rather then a random, indiscriminate attack or a sudden emergence due to a buildup of ambient corruption, it seemed to be a directed assault on a handful of specific people. Deprived of her immediate family, the young girl found herself passed around to various relatives who had little time for her before eventually ending up in the care of her great uncle on her mother's side. A kindly older man who had never married, Awashima Genjiro initially appeared to be little more than that until Akira made contact with a sword that was an heirloom of her mother's side of the family. When this act awakened the spirit inhabiting it, Genjiro concluded that it was time to pass on the skills of the Awashima Shinkage-ryu that had remained dormant within him a new generation.
    If grudges could be made to directly attack people, those skills could not die with him. Akira took to her training well, and though Genjiro was frail he still had strength enough to act as a teacher. Traditionally, Awashima Shinkage-ryu was not taught to girls, and the other remaining Awashima family member was Akira's great grandfather and a staunch traditionalist. By having Akira dress as a boy whenever her great grandfather supervised the lessons and her general upbringing, Genjiro was able to fool the old man into permitting her training. This bled into her entire life, for fear of the retainers in the old man's employ spying her living as a girl. Even after he passed away, this habit remains. The girl's skills have continued to grow, but she still has plenty more to learn, and her relationship with the spirit inhabiting her blade is still quite rocky.
