Description

Personality

Her personality seems cheerful and polite on the surface but sometimes glimpses of something much darker much more sinister slip out and one starts to see the true nature of this young woman, a woman who never hesitates to do as thinks is best, a woman that will not hesitate to kill or to extract information from people. Her mannerisms at times indicate something dark and terrible if not tragic in her past though she speaks of her past to no one.

Equipment

Though she claims to be a mere entertainer, she openly carries a beautifully ornate katana at her hip, that has been handed down through her family for generations, it has a deep purple sheath with intricate red patterns running through it, the hilt is made of gold with amethyst gems set into it making patterns around it, the blade itself is polished to a mirror shine and is always lovingly restored to that shine after every fight, down its length runs an inscription of the family’s motto,
Ago per mucro quod ago in eternus palma or in English Live by the sword and live in eternal glory. Hidden amongst her person are several other items.
To her upper thighs a pair of silver daggers are strapped, tucked away underneath her skirt but within easy reach, the daggers are her back up weapon called upon if she would happen to lose her katana or if she is in a confined space and cannot use her katana.
And in her hair are throwing needles concealed cleverly as decorative hair pins.

Abilities
Natural stealth _ due to her past history and training, when she chooses to be she is like a shadow seen but not spotted, she can blend in a perfectly as a blade of grass or be as obvious as an elephant in a school. This makes her incredibly good at her own style of doing things.

Heightened empathy _ she spent so many years training to what she does that she can now tell more easily than other when someone is in a certain mood or when they are lying, She can tell for example when someone is nervous or infatuated though they may try to hide it.

Natural charm – her cover story of an entertainer was brought about when it was discovered she could naturally charm practically anyone into anything, it only takes her one look to distract a man completely or a flutter of her eyelashes to have a man at his knees.

Advanced Sword/ dagger / throwing needle skills- due to many years of training she is exceptionally skilled with all the weapons she carries.

Agility – she is incredibly agile, she can balance on the thinnest bar and scale the sheerest wall. When a gymnastics feat looks impossible to most people she can complete it.

History

Santana has no last name that she cares to share, she was born in a small village that had little time for its girl’s and so like many other’s she was shipped out to places who were asking for attractive young girls. In this place she was taken into the house of the master and taught all the skills she needed to become an assassin but to look like a mere entertainer that could protect her master. As she grew older she grew skilled and more beautiful every year. Then a time came when her skills were called upon to protect her master, she completed her task and took out the threat that her target posed but at the same time another threat hit her master from inside his own household, one of his team of assassins, turned on him and took his life.

When Santana heard of this outrage, she confronted the man she had once worked with, for she had been loyal to their master for he had always been kind to her. This merely got her in trouble and brought about her flight from the lands that the assassin now controlled, fortunately for her she was skilled enough to get by as by whatever means whether it was her killing skills or her entertaining and quick wit.
Now attempting to run from her past and the enemies she made, she claims herself a mere entertainer with the ability to defend herself and her companions with her katana.
