Personality
Often she is calm, witty and strong. The woman on a personal level is rarely ever loud and does not enjoy being disturbed most of the time (Although its not shown), when she is alone often sips tea near the window gazing out towards the city. Although odd to most, those very close know that its never wise to interrupt this moment. When she is in her introvert demeanor, she is often thinking around the clock on all current events and what the best move will be. This isn't just for her but the entire clan. Especially since the king died and she took over with a firm grasp. With that said she is very protective of what was left to her but even with this her will to succeed is even greater and she does believe sacrifices and risk are worth taking for the better. Due to recent events and her bloodline, she is forced to meditate when alone as well.
When she is not alone and among her clan, she takes upon the role of being a mentor, friend and a "Motherly" figure but keeping her mindset that she is a leader and will change her attitude if need be on the situation. Mariko, often does everything she must to keep the clan at ease and protect her members but at the same time. Makes sure they're in line. The woman does not believe in direct path but open which is why she does not punish unless it is to be done and tries not to mourn if one falls. If she has the power though, she will not let her clan mates face too much vital trouble.
When it comes to combat, Mariko, although very strong and brutal. She does not like fighting nor does she intend to ever head into them. In fact, she does everything she can to avoid herself getting into combat. She often worries about her mental stability and the more she fights the more ruthless and grim she becomes. In addition, she worries about whom may be around her at this point. Only the king truly knew what would happen if this moment occurred and she intended it to be that way, at least as long as she could. The girl is often quick witted when she is not in this form and uses lightning reflexes to show it.

Powers/Abilities
Demon Aura - The demon aura is aura that is often not felt or seen but sleeps inside of Mariko. Only when she is fighting or mentally unstable (Angry, extremely sad and uncontrolled) does is grow. The speed often depends on how the emotions stirred. When this happens it often starts as small visible red streaks that occasionally come from her but they will grow and becomes a large aura at the end. In addition her eyes will glow bright red and her pupil becomes slanted as a cat's would. She does indeed become even faster and stronger by this point but in addition loses her mind and becomes a feral cat so to speak only out to kill. Her fighting style somewhat changes as well from strategic hand to hand combat to beserk swipes and punches. Hissing and roaring at her enemies without using words.
It was only the King who was able to stop her and now she wonders for another solution if happens again.
Inhuman Physical Capabilities - She is extremely fast and strong for whom she is. The woman does her best to keep hiding this fact and does not show it often. To many, she was to be the brains and plans behind any operation and that was it... until you made her mad which some have witnessed and seen her pushed to a scary limit. With that she unintentionally has a destructive action.
Flaws:
Demon Aura - (Read it)
Must Meditate - If Mariko does not meditate, she often realizes she becomes frustrated and mentally unstable much easier. This makes it harder for her to focus and makes her more aware of what she must do. Going into battle without meditation is bad but if she can not help it then so be it.
Romantic interest: N/A
History: Mariko was born in a traditional family of monks who lived in the mountains of Japan. Unfortunately, a certain evil made its way to their temple and to seal it off, It was contained into their only child. As they studied it, it was known to be the Demon known as "Neko" well they only one they could find. Even as a child, when in rage as the baby cried, the aura grew and she would go beserk although that usually revolved in tossing and turning and throwing strong kicks at them. In the end, they were able to seal it away with enough studies but this only lasted so long and as a terrible end, the girl now teen killed her parents in a rage.
Before this however she was trained to meditate and master the arts of hand to hand combat. Her father taught her well until the end came. Interestingly, at this time, the girl was going to high school and met Mikoto. It was on occassion that the two had seen each other, being 6 years apart but it seemed to become more frequent as Mikoto grew up. Eventually a intense event had her release her aura and Although with little knowledge he did manage to revert her back to her normal state but that's only because they became so close or to her at least. She loved him but did her best not to show it too much although moments did spark. When he died, she fell a bit darker but held on to what was left and quickly rose to power to continue on his legacy. She did not intend to lose.
