Age: 14
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Image

Standing at a relatively short 5'2", her figure is as skinny as a twig, but she uses this as an opportunity to display swiftness against her worthy (or unworthy) opponents. Her brunette layered hair follows her around, but when she's relaxed, her hair relaxes down to her knees. Her skin is a pale flesh tint, but her brown eyes are as bright as the sun. Her lips are quite small; the opposite of full, and her nose has the same characteristics as her lips.

Theme Song:
Agatsuma-Under The Moon

Personality

Personality:
Loyal to her leader, O'Kiku tends to follow Yuki-san, or"Yuyu", a lot, because she looks up to him as support, and assistance. She is also willing to help him in return. At such a young age, her personality compares to her youth: energetic, outgoing (at few occasions), and usually arrives into the building with a bright grin on her face, depending on the situation. She tends to let her childish antics get the best of her, adding threats and taunts against her opponents. At other times, she is quite serious of her mission, and dedicates herself at being a notable figure in the land. Her ninja skills are extremely tricky, as if she was an illusionist, or a magician. She can make herself disappear in many ways. Other than her mastery in ninjutsu, and stealth tactics, she is also skilled in the shamisen, which she equips as her weapon of diversion, before she unleashes her blade from beneath it.

Likes: Yuyu, Her shamisen, rice
Dislikes: Failure, anyone that goes against Yuyu
Fears: Death (of herself, and anyone that she cares about)

Equipment

A ninjato hidden under the handle of her shamisen, two kunai knives, and smoke bombs

History

Her newborn days were filled worth mayhem. Weeks after her birth, her biological mother, who was kunoichi (female ninja), ran away in hopes of finding her lover/O'Kiku's samurai biological father. The rule of the ninja clan was for other ninjas to kill who ever scattered from the village without a mission carried to them, labeling O'Kiku's mother as "a traitor". It wasn't until three days later that she was captured by a trio of ninjas in the clan, later having her executed. Knowing that she would be captured, she hid her daughter in the woods on the second day.

The third day, hours after her mother's death, a woman had found O'Kiku in the woods where her mother had placed her. Ironically enough, she served as a confidant to Lord Takashi's wife, and was also a kunoichi, protecting the lord and his wife. The woman trained O'Kiku rigorously in the arts of ninjutsu, and taught her how to play the shamisen, while O'kiku was also learning from geisha performances in the village.

Now 13, she is still a flower needing to be bloomed. This year changed differently as her master died of sickness, causing her to live on her own way, and also becoming a guardian to Lord Takashi's wife.

At that same year, Yamazaki Yuki-san arrived unexpectedly, serving Lord Takashi as one of his own protectors. O'Kiku was amazed at Yuki-san's skills in ninjutsu, having a desire to learn a few pointers from him, and also assisting him in disguising "tactics", since he was also an actor.
