Freya

w/ @Pseudo Stygian :D

Hello love! So you're father and I decided that we're gonna enroll into this lovely academy where you can learn all sorts of cool new things, meet other people your age, and improve on your elemental skills! Don't worry, you'll love this school very much! They offer lots of opportunities for you to grow not just as an elementalist but also as an artist. Heck, that academy is where both me and your father went to and now you get to learn everything that we experienced there as students all on your own. 

By the way, we forgot to tell you that they've already started their school year and by the time you get there, you'll already be three months late. Hey, don't give me that look! No, we didn't forget to tell you. Well, okay we did forget to tell you but that's because... it... yeah I got no excuse. Besides, we know you can catch up in no time! Love you, Sparkles! 

Those were the exact words that Freya's mother told her when they were in the middle of a yoga class. She was focusing so hard on doing the right pose and trying not let her mom know she's the culprit who ate the leftover Chipotle that the only response she made was, "What?!"

If there's one thing she hates about her parents is that they're always trying something new. Like, always. Name one activity that you would like to try, they're already doing it plus a lot more. This attitude of theirs is the reason why she and Frey always move to a different school once they finished one school year on their present ones. A downfall of this is that Freya never really had solid friends but talking to new and different people every year is what gets her excited the most. Frey doesn't seem to be bothered by this since he's still friends with his classmates from two years ago. 

The fact that her little brother has a more active social life than hers is what made her question her existence.

Freya observed her newfound friend, Lyra. She saw Lyra a while ago carrying a flute but with her up close Freya began to feel excitement as she already met another musician she can vibe with. She do noticed Lyra spacing out every once in a while, which didn't bother Freya because she met a lot of kids at the orphanage like Lyra. Most of them had harsh lives in the streets and somewhere worse, and also the things they did just to survive a day, which made them a bit traumatized as a result. Freya's family partnered with a bunch of certified psychologists to make sure they'll turn back to their once youthful and happy selves.

Wow, now I'm the one spacing out, Freya thought. She snapped back in time for her to hear what Lyra said about her being free for now. "A trip downtown for lunch? Well don't mind if I do! In fact, I'm really starving right now", Freya said with an earnest smile.

Name: Naomi Yamanaka

Alias: Kitsune, Yokai Princess, Maiden of the Sakura

Age: 20

Personality: Playful; Compassionate; Free-spirited; Brave; Optimistic 

Archetype: Mystic/Supernatural

Powers: 
 Soul Manipulation = Naomi has the ability to freely manipulate her own soul. She can release her soul in the form of energy blasts that can affect the physical body of the target as well as its own soul. Additionally, Naomi can incorporate her spiritual energy in her physical attacks which she mostly uses offensively against her enemies. When a spiritual energy in the form of a beam or in her physical attacks hits a target, effects may vary:

 + If target is a human = it will be affected both physically and spiritually, meaning the target will become more fatigued the more it is hit by her attacks in addition to feeling physical pain.

 + If target is an entity/deity/spirit/pure force of nature = target will be affected spiritually of course, but instead of being more fatigued it will experience pain. 
 
 Yokai-Crafted Seimei Umbrella = The various yokai who took her in and guarded her when she was lost in the woods made her this umbrella as a parting gift. Although she is adept at releasing spiritual attacks on her own, like magicians with their staves, Naomi uses a seimei umbrella that helps her focus her spiritual attacks and make them more precise. It is bound to her and will always reappear near her even when it is lost, broken, or stolen. She can use the umbrella as a mode of transportation similar to Mary Poppins, teleport to its location when far from her, and control it telepathically to fight with her.

+ Her parents made sure to train her in various martial arts as a way of protecting herself from bullies and other malevolent souls and demons. She is also very flexible and quick on her feet, a result of her continuous gymnastics training that started during her childhood.
 
+ Naomi has the ability to see and talk to yokai and any other types of spirits.

+ She developed an uncanny ability to persuade others much like her namesake, Kitsune, which are quite infamous for tricking mortals.

Weaknesses:
+ Naomi is in grave danger when in combat with a demon or another tainted spirit warrior as she has a great chance of being tainted herself. If she does become tainted, she can only be purified when bathed in cherry blossom oil, by a priest or another pure soul, but her goldfish spirits are often the ones who purify her when the occasion arises. Naomi herself is able to purify a tainted soul, but it means that the corruption from the soul she purified will be transferred to her.

+ As much as she is skilled in martial arts, she may have a hard time when battling against an enemy that has a greater physique than her.

+ Naomi cannot revert from Physical to Spiritual Mode and vice versa if she is cursed by a more powerful magician or is unconscious. The more she stays in Spirit Mode, she more fatigue she will feel once she changes back into Physical Mode. To compensate, she has to sleep and eat a lot.

+ Her spiritual attacks are ineffective against soulless beings.

Appearance: 

Character Evolution: 
Naomi could honestly care less about having a boyfriend. She just wanted to join the Justice League because her father is one of Superman's many fanboys and she wanted to follow in her father's idol's steps. Though her parents are very skeptical of her joining the League with her mother being completely against it, Naomi's mom saw so much compassion in her daughter that it moved her to agree so long as she comes home before dinner. Naomi also thinks that having superhero friends would be super cool.

BRIEF Bio:
	Back when she was a little girl, Naomi was lost in a forest and went completely off the radar for six days during a camping trip with her class. Little did they know that little Naomi accidentally discovered an entrance to the spirit world. Various yokai contemplated on what to do with the child as no human has ever entered the spirit world in centuries with some of them even suggested on killing her to prevent her from spreading the information regarding a portal to their realm. But they were baffled because where other humans would run in fear and hunt them down, Naomi was just filled with curiosity and excitement towards their weird but unique looks. What really changed their minds, however, is that they all sensed her pure heart as no matter how Naomi was bullied and left alone, she will always treat others with kindness and never let them affect her. 

	The yokai celebrated for the arrival of a very rare pure-hearted human and took her in as one of their own. But they sensed that the longer she stayed, the more she loses her humanity and becomes one of them. Most of all, she began to feel very homesick, deeply missing her parents. Also sensing the various humans who were looking for her, including her parents, they decided to bade farewell to her: they all gave her the blessing of the spirits and named her Yokai Princess, making her every spirit's friend and ally. They returned her on the seventh day, where the authorities found her peacefully sleeping under a cherry blossom tree with a seimei umbrella beside her. Naomi's parents tearfully hugged her and returned home, but much to Naomi's parents' surprise, the umbrella was waiting for them in her bedroom, along with a bowl of goldfishes they never had before.

	No matter what they do, the umbrella always reappears near Naomi. Because of this, they concluded that a malicious yokai might have possessed the umbrella or worse their own daughter. Sensing the right time, the two goldfishes leaped out of their bowl and transformed into yokai themselves. After hysterical screaming and the panicked parents began to calm down, the two spirits began to explain the cause of her disappearance. They also said that they were assigned as her guardians due to her status as their Yokai Princess.

	It was a rough start, but Naomi's family began to slowly adapt to their new lifestyle of living in harmony with spirits. A few years later, Naomi's dad received a call from his company: he got promoted and is said to move to their company's branch at Metropolis as soon as he can. He was very exited to move into the base of operations of his idol the Superman himself, but he thought of his daughter's newfound friends at Japan and how they will react. Fortunately, the yokai agreed. Though sad they'll never get to see their beloved princess again, they are happy as long as they know Naomi is happy.

Notes:
+ She has two modes, Physical and Spirit. In Physical Mode, her hair is black and her eyes coffee-brown. While she retains her physical abilities, she can't release soul-based attacks and her seimei umbrella is as useful to her as any other umbrella (though it will still return to her like normal). In Spirit Mode, her hair becomes pink and her eyes bright yellow, she can release spiritual attacks as well and she has full usage of her umbrella as well.  

+ She always releases sakura flowers and petals whenever doing her spiritual attacks, earning her the nickname as the "Maiden of the Sakura" 

Sample Post: 
It lingers in the dark. It knows the night is still young, it has plenty of time to feed. 

It's operating under the radar for months now. It keeps its attacks continuous yet each one has a long interval, long enough for people and even the Justice League to hardly notice. If they do, they won't find anything. It always ensures its plate is clean after every feeding.

And right now it is starving. It could have waited a little longer, but hunger makes one impatient. Besides, it knows it will never be caught.

Aah, there it is. A man in a suit and tie, walking like he's drunk, he's steps uncoordinated making him trip easily. In short, dinner.

Seeing the man go round a corner, it changed form to a voluptuous woman in a blood-red evening gown and followed the man, ready to make the man fall in love with it for easier devouring. It laughed when it saw him slumped near the garbage cans. It moved closer to the unconscious man and lifted his chin up, marveling at how this night wouldn't be any perfect. The demoness began to unhinge its mouth, opening to a demonic extent and showing rows of large teeth, ready to eat its dinner with great gusto. 

"Um, what are you doing?"

The demoness returned back to its human form. It turned its head towards the noise and found a woman wearing Asian clothes and holding an umbrella. It couldn't see her actual appearance as she is standing with the light from the lamppost behind her.

It laughed at her. "Run along, little girl. The costume party's that way"

The girl tilted her head side-wards. "I should say the same thing to you, ma'am. Is that your husband?"

The demoness smiled. So it didn't see me open my mouth. How pathetic and dumb, it thought. It put on a serene smile. "Why yes, little girl. I'm just helping him get up. He drank too much from the party and now he's sleeping like a rock. Actually I take back what I said earlier, would you be a dear and help me?"

The girl laughed this time. "You don't understand ma'am, I'm not going to help you", she said. She stepped closer to the demoness and it saw it was wearing Japanese-style clothing and a seimei umbrella, but what the demoness truly feared is the girl's long, pink hair and her mask that resembles a fox. The demoness opened its eyes in horror. "I'm going to help him", she finished.

The demoness hissed and growled. It shredded its human form into something monstrous, with huge talons and mouth full of rows of razor sharp teeth. It knows of the girl's reputation in the spirit world as one of the few humans blessed with the power of the pure souls, patrolling the night as an enforcer that keeps trickster spirits in line, though it never imagined it would actually meet her until now. "Kitsune", it said in disdain.

"Kon'nichiwa josei akuma", Kitsune said, "Asobimashou".

The demoness struck forward, its claws ready to rip the girl's face off, but Kitsune was quicker. She dodged the attack and pointed her umbrella at its chest. A burst of pink energy shot and enveloped the demon. Kitsune raised her umbrella until it was pointing upwards, lifting the trapped demon several feet overhead. It trashed and screamed very obscene words at Kitsune but it couldn't break out of her grasp. 

She sighed. "Anata wa totemo taikutsudesu", Kistune said in a mocking tone. 

She spun her umbrella as fast as she could, spinning the she-demon along with it. Then she jumped upwards and pierced the demon's chest where the heart should be. Now several feet in the air, Kitsune saw how the demon's heart as black as night sitting at the tip of the umbrella. The demoness' eyes grew wider at the new hole on its chest. "Ew", Kistune said as she opened her umbrella, releasing spiritual energy outwards and exploding the heart. The she-demon let out one final scream before it dissipated into dust.

Kitsune flowed gently to the ground. She thought of what she can do about the unconscious guy until she heard police sirens approaching in the distance. Shrugging, she flew away from the scene using her umbrella, planning on binge-watching How to Get Away with Murder all night.
