:Although she has never had a romantic partner, Reiko is picky when it comes to people. It is not the appearance that usually draws her attention, but the mind behind it. No matter how physically appealing, she is unlikely to be attracted to a foolish person. She is immediately attracted to clever people, particularly those skilled in banter and any of the arts, and she will stop and listen to bards in the street until their fingers fall off. Irritated as they may make her, she can't help but be drawn to people who can get the better of her. She's competitive like that. | :Although she has never had a romantic partner, Reiko is picky when it comes to people.

<!-- TEXT --> | <!-- TEXT --> | ||
+ | :If she could spend all day in a hot bath with a good book, she certainly would. Reiko is damn near anal about her hygiene and she will take any opportunity to clean herself. You won't find her complaining often about dirt, sweat, blood, and viscera clinging to her, but as soon as she finds clean water, she will dive right in and scrub herself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :She has a habit of repeatedly washing her hands until she rubs the skin raw--or peels off the first few layers altogether. She will wash her hands under scalding water with the harshest soap she can make; on these occasions, you may catch her muttering strange things under her breath. Especially if she's just committed a murder, she will want to wash her hands immediately. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Reiko is never without a long, thick scarf made of black dragon scales. Several layers wind around and around her neck and shoulders, and she uses the scarf for numerous reasons: it hides the scars marring her throat, can be used to hide her face when she's embarrassed or annoyed, becomes a gas mask when she needs it, and can be employed as a rope, a blanket, or even a weapon when necessary. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :She is also never without ivory linen bandages that cover her from her biceps to her fingertips, and her thighs to her toes. These bandages serve as both protection from prying eyes who might otherwise glimpse her numerous scars, and light armor. The linens are enchanted to protect her skin from her razor wires and they can turn away small blades. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Her typical attire consists of a light tunic tapering into both a front and back panel loincloth, a pair of shorts, and several leather belts slung around her hips. The belts contain a variety of pouches, all of them filled with herbs, writing/note taking paraphernalia, alchemical vials labeled with small bumps in a language she invented herself, a first aid kit, a woodcarving/sculpting kit, a small carving knife, and yarn. A few of the less visible pouches contain long, steel needles and length after length of razor wire. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :She favours anything that allows her a wide range of motion. Reiko despises long dresses and tight clothing, and will only wear them when a plan calls for convincing disguises. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :She rarely wears shoes unless forced by companions or inclement weather. | ||

+ | :Reiko has a mask crafted to suit damn near any occasion, though the one she wears most often is "tacky street performer." She presents herself as a cheerful idiot with a tongue that runs faster than her brain, and she has no problems shouting awful--often bawdy--poetry at anyone who will listen to her. She spends most of her time in public lounging on rooftops and/or awnings, watching people come and go, and taking notes about them so she can use them as inspiration for her next play, poem, or story. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Fond of limericks and nonsense poetry, she often disguises a caustic wit behind a carefree, head-in-the-clouds demeanor and a drawl that would make even the most uneducated Limsan pirate want to staple his ears shut--and this ensures that most people never recognize the shrewd mind, the killer's smile, and the keen eyes that observe them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :In short, she usually acts like a loud, raucous fool whose mind plays with the fairies more than half the time. But all of this is nothing more than a front to hide the silent, thoughtful girl drowning in crushing depression, guilt, self-loathing, and an unquenchable thirst for revenge. The true Reiko is a clever, careful, cautious girl who is always aiming to be several steps ahead of anyone she encounters. She has difficulty getting close to people and uses her gaudy mask as a way to both disguise herself from dogged pursuit and keep others at arm's length. | ||

<!-- TEXT --> | <!-- TEXT --> | ||
+ | :Reiko is obsessed with sugar: candy, cakes, pastries, tarts, cookies. Sweets of any variety are sure to gain her attention and if you offer her candy, she'll be your best friend--at least until the sugar runs out. Fed increasing dosages of many different poisons to bolster her immunity, she has no qualms about taking candy from strangers and while most poison is unlikely to kill her, it can and probably will make her ill and sometimes violently so. She has a few reasons for her obsession with sweets, but unless you've earned her trust and close friendship, she will never give you a straight answer on this subject. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :She tends to look at life and everything in it as a giant game she needs to win to stay alive, and a project. People are social experiments in her mind, and she often treats them as such, saying and doing ridiculous and/or inflammatory things for the sole purpose of gauging their responses. She is still not entirely accustomed to carrying herself in proper society, given her lifelong incarceration and isolation, and she finds it difficult to get close to others. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :"Competition" is her middle name. Reiko likes to win, often at any cost, and she has no problems cheating to earn her victory. After all, her father told her, "If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying and you are no child of mine." | ||
+ | |||
+ | :When speaking to those who have yet to get a glimpse behind her sunny mask, she has a habit of calling herself by name ("Chi"), rather than the usual pronouns. She has also adopted the slurring drawl of Limsan lowborn to disguise the traces of nobility both bred and beaten into her. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Reiko is ruled by a combination of both emotion and logic. While often coldly logical and reasonable, she feels things deeper than the Ruby Sea and is not always certain how to react to her emotions, nor does she always know how to express them effectively. This leads to frequent clam-ups and outbursts of inappropriate ire. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Though she dons the mantle of an extrovert when out in the public eye, Reiko is actually quite shy and finds it difficult to strike up conversation with people, especially in larger groups. She enjoys time spent alone, finding it refreshing, particularly if it means she gets to read or create new works of art. Unfortunately, all that time spent in her own company usually leads her down memory lane. She hates thinking about her past and such a trip usually precedes an extended period of forced socialization. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :She projects the face of an eternal optimist to the public, but underneath, Reiko is pessimistic. She'll call herself a "realist," however. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Her sense of humour tends to be dark, wry, sarcastic, and irreverent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :She has developed an exceptional level of patience over the years. It takes most people a great deal of effort to get on her nerves or make her lose her cool, though a very select few have managed this feat with ease. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Reiko has a tendency to drive herself for days at a time without rest; sleep brings dreams and she usually dreams about things she doesn't want to remember. Once she's hit her limit for exhaustion, however, she usually sleeps for a full day, sometimes two. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Her psychological flaws include: abusiveness, addiction, anxiety, callousness, disorders (OCD, sadomasochism, and others), ferocity, impiety, impishness, meddlesome, homicidal tendencies, and a few phobias. Ask about them OOC if you're interested in a more descriptive list. | ||

+ | :Her true speaking voice is a smoky contralto. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Her laughter is bright, merry, and tinkling like silver bells. It tends to be somewhat infectious and when she's genuinely amused, she laughs openly and unabashedly. If she's of a darker turn of thought, she typically snorts in place of actual laughter. | ||

<!-- TEXT --> | <!-- TEXT --> | ||
+ | :Her most prominent philosophy revolves around: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a nail for a nail." You may never know it, but she is big on revenge whether she gets it directly or indirectly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :When in public, Reiko bounces wherever she goes. She acts like a bundle of endless energy and cheer, and she walks as though her legs were made of springs. Some have described her gait as ungainly, claiming that she appears to be playing leapfrog against an invisible opponent. When alone, she lopes, graceful and easy as a panther on the prowl. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :She often stares up at the sky and taps her chin with her middle and/or index fingers while she's thinking. When concentrating, she sticks out the tip of her tongue and frowns, and this makes her look a bit like a confused cat. She'll also mouth words when she's reading or thinking really hard about something, and she doesn't seem to be aware that she's doing so. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :If you catch her drawing or carving her puppets, you'll often find that she tilts her head back and forth as if trying to mimic the view her art subject would have. She will unconsciously mirror whatever face her subject is making, as if by doing so, this will improve her replication of said subject. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :She doesn't seem to become embarrassed easily or all that often, but when it does happen, she usually hides her face in her scarf and averts her eyes like a child caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar. In addition to the furious heat coating her cheeks, the blush spreads to her horns, tinting the ivory a delicate pink. The right people can leave her in a state of perpetual mortification... which usually causes a display of temper she doesn't ordinarily show. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :Reiko claps when she's exceptionally excited or happy about something, and she'll frequently hop from foot to foot or bounce on the balls of her feet while clapping. Sometimes, she'll even squeal or make high-pitched noises in the back of her throat. | ||
+ | |||
+ | :If she feels lonely, sad, scared, or depressed, she will talk to the stuffed rabbit given to her by Takamasa. This rabbit--named Yuzu--is her confidant and she treats it with all the tender care a woman might show her lover. | ||
