Kagero Gosanki is a woman of simple pleasures. She'd love nothing more than coming home after a long day at work to a good meal and a soak in a hot spring. One of two retainers to the daughter of Daimyo Tokunaga of Yanxia, the Goshawk takes her work quite seriously when it's time. While young, she is a fount of wisdom, often considered to be an old soul. Born into a rather poor family of Hyuran farmers in the hills, she was taken at a young age by the Daimyo to become a samurai of their household, seeing potential in the young girl's soul. As a result of being taken at such a young age, she recalls little of her life on the farm, and even less of her parents. While she appreciates the life the Daimyo has given her, she quietly disagrees with his policies and truly follows Shion rather than him.
Kagero is most commonly seen donning an open haori embellished with Sakura and fan designs, red and gold in color. Beneath this, she always wears a sarashi, used to protect and bind her chest in battles. She typically wears an obi beneath her haori rather than atop it to keep it open; it can be tied atop it to close it. Otherwise, she wears a simple black hakama and plain sandals. Kagero's age isn't quite clear, due to her youthful features that are typical of Easterners; she appears to be in her mid-twenties. Her eyes are a bright jade, softly angled and gentle to look at. Her skin is fair and well taken care of, soft and smooth save for one scar on her left eyebrow. Typically, it is covered by her bangs, though. Her nose is small and gently rounded; her lips are somewhat thick and heavily bowed. Kagero's hair is of medium length and always pulled back into a neat ponytail. Bangs sit sideways on the left side of her face, and on the opposite side, there are a few bits that are a bit spiky upon her cheek. Her body is muscular, fitting of one who wields the katana and is well sculpted to anyone's standards.

OOC Information
Below is useful tidbits should you ever be interested in trying to attack/spar with Kagero. Please note that I am very open to gore and violence, and am not beyond having my character sport an injury for days to weeks on end. However, ismemberment, permanent damage, and even death needs to be spoken about prior anything occuring IC.

About the Player
Hi! My name is Kat. I'm a typical working class citizen living on the East Coast with a love for art, gaming, cosplay, and of course role-play. I've been on FFXIV for two years now, and I have played MMOs since 2007. I also DM/play in Pathfinder games, and have been doing that for a few years as well. Some of my favorite games are Okami, World of Warcraft, Skyrim, Overwatch, and Bravely Default. (Pretty varied, I know.) I hope to see you in-game!
■ My schedule is pretty irregular: I work in a restaurant, so there's no real telling when I'll be on the game! It all depends on my level of exhaustion and when I get called in. Most of the time, I'm on pretty late at night (12-5AM EST) because of this, so please try and work with me on that!
■ I can be a slow typer: When it comes to paragraph RP, I want to make sure I get everything right! I type pretty slow at times like this; with more casual RP I'm a lot quicker. Please be patient if we're para-RPing! If it's been more than 10 minutes without a reply, your post may have been eaten.
■ Walk-ups loved: I LOVE walk-ups, just like every other RPer on the face of the earth. Seriously, you can walk up to my character whenever. Out in the world, in the city, anywhere! If I'm not trying to be IC, I'll tell you. But most of the time, I'm here to RP anyway!
■ Altaholic: I have about 4 characters that I regularly play; the best way to meet up with one of them is to message me on Discord (judicalHunter#9027) and discuss RP plans with me!
Guidelines
I do not have many hardcore limits. I love doing things for the 'rule of cool', or for general flair. However, there are some things that I simply will not allow, or need to be asked about, as listed below.
■ I will: Combat RP. One-shot RP. Long-term RP. Dramatic plots. Heavy, feeling-driven plots. Romance. Sexual Tension. Serious injury. Temporary injury and incapacitation of mind or body. Temporary captivity or imprisonment. Assassination attempts. Rivalries. Deep platonic friendships. ERP, if it makes sense within a plot.
■ I will not: Allow Lore Breaking. Allow my character to be killed. Injury that will leave my character incapacitated. Allow godmodding. OOCly planned romances, except under special circumstances. Random ERP with no plot development.
■ Ask about: Torture that leaves behind lasting, long-term effects (aka, longer than 3 months). Long-term and/or permanent injury. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Significant tampering of the mind. Anything that is dramatically character-changing, or may have extremely negative implications for my character.
Disclaimers
Almost done...!
■ Communication is the most important thing in RP. Please, PLEASE tell me if anything I do makes you uncomfortable, or you want a certain thing to happen - anything. Working with each other is the best way to get things right, and spur of the moment decisions can be great and terrible. It all comes down to CONSENT, COMMUNICATION, and PATIENCE.
■ Lore on Yanxia is a bit... imprecise. I, personally, see it as a society much like feudal Japan, with daimyos in power, hired samurai, and limited rights for women. It is at the core of my character, and if you do not like this take on the lore, Kagero may not be the best fit for you.
■ Entering relationships can be icky if they're done too hastily. It's one thing if you're a friend OOC and we know one another well, but please do not expect a relationship within a short time period. I like to give things about a month or two to build before entering a committed IC relationship, as that gives plenty of time for characters to build and get used to one another. RP happens faster than real life, of course, but I personally have had poor experiences with hastened romantic RP and wish to be a bit more wary - and in turn, realistic - about my relationships IC.
CHARACTER TIDBITS
Potential Plot Hooks
While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of springboard for walk-up RP.
■ Perhaps you've seen 'Sparrow' out delivering justice to Thanalan. Do you recognize that figure?
■ There's always someone listening, and Shion like to be that person. Perhaps you've seen her lurking about?
■ Those from Yanxia would likely know of the prestigious Tokunaga family. Maybe you realize she is of their blood?
