Koemi for the most part is the easy going type, but living with the head of the Tenzou is typically a friendly happy place to be. She is completely loyal to him and would give up her own life to protect him. Many times Koemi can be extremely optimistic in some of the most awkward or difficult situations she always seems to find the bright side of it. She believes that everyone has goodness in them and it often times saddens her to see someone choose to be hurtful or disrespectful, except in the case of the Tenzou head.
If anyone were to disrespect or try to cause her lord harm it brings out a fiery part of her personality. She will stop at nothing to get to whom or whatever might cause harm to him and snuff it quickly and harshly without a second thought. He is the one thing in her life that brings out the passion and complete loyalty she took upon herself when she became his bodyguard. Something she thinks highly of and would never do anything to jeopardize that loyalty. If anything were to cause him harm, and she failed at her mission she would take her own life to die next to him.
Koemi also has a bit of a 'tomboy' streak, considered by many to be very unladylike, when she was young she was often scolded for this. But as her training to be a ninja went forward those aspects of her personality became an asset. Her lack of concern for her appearance, the fact that she doesn't mind getting dirty, the willingness to do things that many other females would refuse to do at times. She see's many things that other women might worry about as frivolous or unimportant and just something that gets in the way of doing her duty.

|| Skills ||
Koemi is proficient in the art of ninjutsu and specializes in using Shikomizue (sword sticks). Thought as a child to blind in one eye over time it was determined that the red orange color of her right eye gave her the ability to see slight movements in her opponents, that make it easier for her to calculate what they might do next, giving her the appearance of being able to 'see' the move before it is performed. Believed now to be a blessing from the gods, she uses this ability to make calculated decisions in battle before executing a plan. This however can only be used in bursts at certain times in battle, and can only be activated once combat is started. It is not a picture into the future were she knows the outcome of the battle, just the probability of what her action against her opponent might make at a certain time it gives her an advantage when it comes to making quick decisions, that will produce the best outcome. The technique does however drain her stamina in battle so it is only used in dire situations.
|| Biography ||
The Tsukino family has always been in the service of the Tenzou, many years ago when the first Tsukino ninja came indebted to the Tenzou demon clan, the family was almost wiped from existence do to illness when a bad winter hit. The Tenzou clan took in the Tsukino and provided them with a means to survive, so stared the tenor of the families servitude. However it has never felt as though they were looked down upon, the family had always felt appreciated and cherished by the Tenzou. Every generation the eldest son of the Tsukino family has taken up the mantle as the personal bodyguard to the head of the clan. Unfortunately Hisoka Tsukino the eldest and former bodyguard to the clan head did not have any sons. His wife who had died in child birth gave birth to a girl that was named Koemi because she was born quite early it was feared that the child would not survive either. However, the young girl survived, except for what appeared to be a flaw. The child's eyes, the peculiar color of her right eye was believed to be an effect from a tumultuous birth and that she would be blind int he defective eye. However as time passed it became apparent that despite the red orange color of her eye she could see perfectly fine. This began the battle as to who would take her father's place as the Tenzou bodyguard if something were to happen to him or once Hisoka was to old and unable to continue his duties. Many believed it should be passed to one of Koemi's male cousins or perhaps Hisoka should try to remarry and produce a male child. Hisoka however was loyal to his beloveds memory and refused to remarry, he also refused all suggestions that the next oldest male take his place. He decided to break with tradition and train his daughter Koemi up to be the next bodyguard to the Tenzou clans head.
Many thought him foolish to train a girl to do this, but he chose not to listen and through this it was determined that Koemi was an excellent ninja. Her petite frame made her agile and quick, and something else her eye. Her father noticed that many times Koemi would know what move he was going to move before he did them, and often times, before she had been trained in the moves he was using. When his daughter would tell him what she saw, and what happened he would notice how it would weaken her, but it also would give her the opportunity to block attack. Eventually she learned how to hone this ability and to not over use it, once when she was in a heated sparring session with her father she used her ability too much and dropped unconscious onto the ground. Her stamina completely drained to the point of complete exhaustion. From that point on she knew that she must only use her 'seeing eye' in dire situations when no other path is clear. Finally the day came when all of the training that her father had put her through became needed, her father died protecting the head of the Tenzou clan and took her father's place. By this time she had proven herself, to the other members of the family and the Tenzou so her place was not questioned.
Now she strives to do as her father did, protect the head of the clan and if need be give up her own life for her.
