Lawful Good General Information A samurai known for her focus, swordsmanship, and devotion. For a time she was much sought after as a trophy retainer, a status symbol for Doman lords or ministers. Her good humor has won her many a favor. Undemanding though she may seem, she is more strict and meticulous than she appears, preferring to serve those who are wise and who practice humility. ❝ Quote. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice focused contemporary lightly tanned taut singsong Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style dignified ambidextrous concealed none regal Hair & Eyes Her irises lost their all their pigment by her 7th summer, but her vision is good. Her hair is well-groomed but prone to having split ends when it grows even just close to her shoulders, so she keeps it short. Physique & Markings Has the physical makeup of someone who monitors her own diet quite closely. She has a few telltale scars on her back, but the long scar tissue spanning from her inner right thigh to her shin is significant. Hygiene & Attire Clean, but generally doesn't smell like anything. You'll never catch her with a sash loose or buckle half-done. Her general's uniform looks quite heavy. Personality Psychological Profile A healthy pessimist. Avoids fretting overmuch, only ever enough to stay ahead of the game. Not at all easy to provoke, this says something about how emotionally obtuse she may be. She is resistant to psychological attacks, but not immune: the effect on her in transition is generally the same as a delayed onset of muscle pain. Voice Ladylike, as befits her social status. More feminine than most would expect of one with her appearance. Philosophy & Mannerisms A 'selective' Taoist who intervenes only when she deems something to be unnatural. She acts with reverence towards the kami, never keen on upsetting tutelary spirits of any particular place. While this consideration can inhibit her, it can be outweighed by her judgment when in a role of leadership. While tolerant, she will never kindly suffer acts of betrayal against the group. Preferences Likes ● Freshwater fish with rice ● Daikon and pork rib soup ● Lectures on history with a heavy military aspect Dislikes ● Horseradish Trivia ● Shinonome is not her family name. ● A lightweight. Happy-drunk sort. ● Gets into a lot of pointless accidents, tripping and running into poles and the like. Something to do with bad proprioception. ● Has somewhat of an ironic 'rich folk' syndrome to her in that she doesn't know to appreciate wealth the way the less affluent do.

Combat, Abilities & Weaponry Basic Statistics High: Endurance Above Average: Strength Average: Perception Low: Agility Aetheric Abilities Mastery: None Expert: None Average: Thaumaturgy (basic) Novice: Conjury Weapon Training Mastery: Doman longsword Expert: Naginata Average: Bow Novice: Two-handed swords Combat Relevant Skills High: Resolve Above Average: Spirit Average: Charisma (see 'Presence') Low: Luck Non-Combat Abilities ● Presence: A social skill picked up from her late master. Her stately comportment commands due attention, buying her ample opportunity to de-escalate a situation and avoid conflict. Helped along by her understanding of the uses of diplomacy, and occasionally by the comedic relief of her being prone to hurting herself. ● Execution: A skill in choreographing military strategy, and one which she is known for. Being no genius herself in the craft of tactics, she combines past teachings, research, and reconnaissance in order to break molds. When it comes to the execution of a tactical blueprint, her ability to maintain group morale and presence of mind is second to none. Combat Abilities ● Narukami: Dubbed the 'howling thunderbolt', this move is an emulation of the Requiescat. A potent cleave, it charges its strength by sapping from any aetheric power source or crystal light in the vicinity, including the user's own. The crack of 'thunder' heard is actually the sound behind the force of the sword being swung. ● Skill: -- OOC Note Any relevant notes about combat should be added here, such as player preference, system preference, or links off-site to sheets using existing XIV player-made combat systems.

RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask. ■ I will play . ■ Ask about . ■ I won't play . RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP.

I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. ■ List item.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
