DESCRIPTION:
→ An Asian-descended youth that shows her grace and maturity through her age. At 18, she has grown out her hair again. She has maintained her exotic look to high degree, but as second nature. Her long, natural blond hair is usually draped free on the left side and right sides of her face, while her bangs are swept to the side. Letting it frame her rather already unique visage. Hazel spheres from birth are her trade mark. Her nose is small decorating her face plainly. Petite in size, almost unnoticeable.

Her face as a whole is oval in shape, her forehead covered by her shimmering silver hair. Curving into her eyes, elongating at her cheeks and giving her a strong firm jaw. Even though dimples are present, it does not hinder her ‘tough’ face. Her hair style is medium length, easy to take care of. Her skin color is, one would think, ‘medium’. Not too tanned and not too pale, if there was an average skin tone, it would be hers. Her nails, unlike most women, aren’t long. She doesn’t waste time, trying to keep them groomed. They aren’t grotesque, but room for improvement could be made.

Her scars aren’t many, since she strives for perfection and swiftness in battle she is rarely left with any. Though there are still blemishes on her body, these are however scattered all along her body and would be pointless to nitpick and tell about all her scars.

Her body, is to almost the highest degree, feminine. Not the most perfect hourglass figure, but she could keep a stare if she wanted. Muscle is developed in their appropriate areas. Her biceps, forearms, abdomen, and legs. Her physique is of an athletic nature, built for stealth, and strong hits while keeping a lady-like air.

Elizabeth's clothing rarely changes. Mostly caught wearing a skin-tight black bodysuit. From top to bottom, the suit was designed to provide maximum free-range of movement. The chest of the suit is cut out in a V-shape, that stretches just passed her naval. The hips have been cut out as well to stretch down to the middle of her thighs, and adorned with fishnets for breathability within the suit. The heaviest part of the suit would be the feet, which have high-heeled soles sewn to them. The toes are cut out with fishnets over them mostly for style. Traveling down the arms of these suits are the gloves. They have been cut to free up the thumb, index and middle finger to allow her to feel objects without having to climb out of her body suit to do so. Some of her suits, however, do not have the High-heeled accessory and have simply cut the heel out.

PERSONALITY:
→ Airi is a rather gentle person in nature, as sensitive as the flower she was named after (Airi means Jasmine~ in Japanese). Her voice is warm and soft and doesn’t often raise itself above simply talking loud. Caring for all life (except her opponents) she treats everyone with the same respect and kindness. Yet, when someone she holds dear is hurt or injustice is done Airi will step up and take matters into her hands. Highly protective of her family and friends but also her teammates she is a valuable person to have around. For her teammates not only as a medical specialist, but also as a support in battle. She will do whatever is necessary to keep those who have a place in her heart from harm. Airi also has a more seductress side to her. When she is particularly comfortable with someone, or drunk for that matter, she becomes quite sexual in nature.

Airi is much of a daydreamer and can often be found up on the rooftops or high up in the trees, just gazing off into the distance. But yet, her face often expresses a sadness that by many is misplaced with grief or even depression. Sadness Airi has, but it is not something she would likely share with anyone and her sad expression is but a part of her that she cannot let go of.

Although her temperament is gentle and kind in nature, while faced with danger she will reply to it with a coolness comparable to ice. Her eyes harden and become focused, following her opponent like a hawk, never letting go. ‘Nothing will stand in my way and nothing will harm me or others I care about’; such is her standpoint. Airi is patient and can lay in wait for hours, never once letting go of her breath (as a matter of speech).

LOVE:
→ Reading her novels, pointy-objects, writing poetry, singing songs, dancing and much of the night life, shopping, shoes, and daydream, or merely reflect.

HATE:
→ Gambling, Smoking, blunt objects, gum, and flying insects.

DEEPEST SECRET:
→ She witnessed her parents death and was a Geisha.

IDOL:
→ Sarutobi Sasuke

...........................................................................

HISTORY:
→ Elizabeth was born as a simple girl in Okinawa. She grew up with a strange affection for swords. It wasn't long at all until her village was once again racked in yet another civil war. Despite what you may think, civil war wasn't as prone to occur and wasn't as present in their history, but it still occurred every so often. Elizabeth being only five years old at the time watched on as her parents fought against their neighbors just to survive the night. Being part of the Nadashinkage Clan was hard enough, but fighting amongst themselves made the lifestyle even harder.

It didn't take long for her parents to finally fall. They weren't much of fighters to begin with, and they died due to their own inability to recognize a proper threat. Airi was captured and forced into slavery. She was made a Geisha and was also made to live in a Tea House, making wages for her owner. She lived in this way for near six years, until she got her owner drunk and seduced him into bed where she killed him. She ran away and lived as an orphan for a time until she was adopted by a swordsman's wife.

She resumed her lust for swords and soon found the swordsman's storage of swords. Upon his return home he caught her staring aimlessly at them all and questioned her about it. She explained her love of blades and begged for forgiveness for her intrusion. He contemplated her motive, but could see none. He instructed her to tell him which was her favorite. She turned and told him she couldn't dare choose between any of them. He then said she would have to choose before she could leave the room. With that said, he locked her inside waiting for her answer.

She stayed in the room for thirty-two hours until she touched, observed, and weighted all seventy-two blades in the swordsman's collection. It came early that morning that she knocked on the door, and the swordsman came in. He asked her yet again which was her favorite and she remained silent. As he turned for the door she spoke of the weird swords hung high up on the wall. He turned and eyed the blades. He explained that they were Twin Tiger head Hook swords and that they weren't really swords at all. He asked if those were the ones she favored. She nodded.

He asked her what was her reason for liking them. She explained that she had no interest in taking lives, she wanted to preserve the lives of those who couldn't fight or at least she would if she were trained. He smiled and told her to go eat. She was shocked at actually how hungry and tired she was. She leapt from the room and did as she was told. He took the blades down and held them in both hand. He made it his new goal to train her in the way of the sword.

He trained her to use the swords for nearly twelve years. At the age of Ninteen she was proficient at wielding the blades, but was still no master. She had succeeded in defeating her teacher, but was not satisfied at just doing that. She wanted him to teach her more, but he simply said he could not. He told her she was a better swordhand than he at her current level and that it should be her that should teach him. She smiled and hugged him tight. She planted a kiss on his cheek and told him that she would achieve a title he could be proud to say, 'I trained her.' He smiled back and told her that he awaited that day.

She decided to reside in Kyoto, which seemed to be the pinnacle of Shinobi excellence since the rise of the Aerugese Empire. She learned quite a lot from being within the village and made quite a few friends while there. She was no stranger to those who truly resided there, but she didn't make it a point to live their permanently. She would always disappear from the village for six months at a time to train herself and would return later looking grungy and filthy, but even more so she would return a bit more stronger than last time.

During one of her trips she was unarmed and learned that having a sword was as much as a crutch as it was a weapon. She made it a point to learn more martial arts than her previous teacher had done. She left the land and sought out a master who could train her to what she wanted. She found one, but at a cost. The Soe Clan. It was a very old ninja clan that had been keeping the peace in Japan for centuries. Their entire existence is unknown to the public and they work in the shadows. Those who choose their lifestyle can't have any bonds outside the clan and are unable to marry. The Soe Clan is unique in the way that it is full of mostly female members.

She trained under them for two years. It was here she was taught about the inner workings of the world, and received her training in Computer Science. After stripping all the information she could from them, she cast them aside. Her desire to acquire more knowledge only strengthened by the Soe Clan's ideology and teachings. She had told them that now she would take back that which was not theirs. She escaped from their hold on her and hid herself from their intelligence. Changing her name from Elizabeth to Airi. She felt at peace with herself and from that peace, she meditated and learned about herself. She honed her mind to sense her surroundings by hearing and touch. The earth was a medium for vibrations, but not many people took the time to realize it.

She opened her eyes and set out into the lands to see the beauty of the world through her newfound eyes. She had learned of what other’s would call the Dragon’s Pulse, and her Ninjutsu known as Alkahestry. She had been set on a path to do whatever she pleased, as the Ghost that she was she would run free about this land. Absorbing all the knowledge she could, because only with knowledge can someone rest the control of power from another.

After a brief journey, she traveled to Aerugo. Shinobi ran rampant here, and she felt slightly at home. But she wondered where she could stand out. She joined as a Militant for Aerugo for a time. As she rose from a simple Genin, to a Jounin she brought about her work history to ask for a seat in the Empire. She was pushed to prove she was worthy of even being near the Empress. As such, she displayed her Unique Ninjutsu and brought to light her ability to access and steal information from nigh any system. An interest was sparked and she was placed within the Shisu Ken, it wasn't long before she took over the position of Second-in-command. Now she works for the Aerugese Empire collecting data for the Empire...or at least that was how it seemed to anyone watching her. To anyone who observed Airi work, she did her job well...perhaps too well, but she got results so who could complain. However, she worked on the side as a Information Marketer. Selling information in order to obtain new information, but such things she never conducted face-to-face. She wouldn't be caught so easily. Her Methods were her own, and they were highly effective.

...........................................................................

ALCHEMIC/ALKAHESTRIC ABILITY:
→ Kanashibari • The Art of Paralysis. Airi uses her Alkahestry in a very shinobi like fashion. Building off the lore behind fictitious Shinobi, she developed the Kanashibari to manipulate the Qi in her targets. Although at her level, she is not capable of completing the circle, she is capable of something very useful. She can paralyze the limbs of anyone she targets. This is done by first reading the Dragon's Pulse, and then grasping hold of the enemies Qi. She can then halt the flow of Qi into those limbs for a short duration. Anatomically, she targeting the muscles of the target to prevent momentary movement by causing severe muscular cramps in the target. Making them experience extreme discomfort and momentary pain.

TRIVIA:
→ Expert Martial Artist: Airi possesses moderate expertise of the martial arts of the Japanese ninja and samurai. Airi demonstrates great knowledge of ninja methods of combat, as well as her Masterful craft when wielding a Blade. Like most skilled Xingese warriors, she has the ability to sense other people's Qi. This gives her a massive edge over most opponents, being able to sense them before seeing them.
→ Dance Training: Her years as a Geisha has taught her how dance with grace and poise, which has made her highly agile as a Kunoichi. Agility, however, is not the only thing she has acquired. But a flexibility on par with that of a contortionist.
→ Genius-level Computer Expert: Airi was an expert in the field of computer science, demonstrating genius-level aptitude for programming, modifying, and diagnosing almost any computer system: even those of unfamiliar human origin. She used her skills in many high-stress combat situations to great effect.
→ Dragon's Will: Airi has attuned her ability to sense Qi with the rhythm of her heartbeat. Sending out constant ripples of Qi through the ground to interweave with the Natural Flow of the Dragon's Pulse, this allows her to perceive her environment through means of the Dragon's Pulse. So dubbed the Dragon's Will. This allows her to detect people out of her line of sight, and since inanimate objects have no Qi of their own she can see past them. It has the inherent weakness to fail to sense anything in the air.
→ Multi-Lingual: As a Geisha, she was made to learn as many languages as she could hold in order to widen her client base. Although it was forced upon her, she learned and mastered three other languages other than her own Aerugese. She managed to learn Xingese, Cretan, and Amestrian. She has taken interest in learning other languages such as Gelemortian and Esparian, but has yet to master the tongue.

{REVISE}

• In your trivia, you say she is an expert level programmer yet you don't have anything in her history explaining that in the least bit. I can accept the Geisha related stuff, but the computer expert thing comes out of left field. I would advise either removing it entirely, or including in her bio something about it. Personally, you're characters already like a prodigy at a lot of stuff, so I'd just take it out entirely or reduce it to a base knowledge of software.
  
• Speaking of her bio, I don't think she'd know of the Dragon's Pulse or at least hold an understanding of it like an alkahestrist would.
  
• For future reference, just name your other characters in the "Other Characters" section since she isn't your first character ever.

Revised. I added some fluff for two purposes. To explain the Computer Related information, and to appease Yuuko for the position. As for Alkahestry, she knows nothing about the actual practice, but as being trained in the art of the Shinobi (Her Alchemy and about the Dragon's Pulse) by the Soe Clan I find it feasible to know how to sense Qi. She is Xingese afterall.

Yuki, let me know what's going on, okay? You decided on the muscle alkahestry right?

[Guest]

Finished Reila. Needed to research how it would exactly work, just saying it works because it works doesn't fly around here yanno?
