"I'm a guy--wait, that's not right."

Role: Child of Diligence
"I'm Rin's child! Wait, that didn't sound right either, ehehe..."
Personality: Izumi is very--eccentric and energetic. She has no trouble teasing the people around her, often sticking her nose into others' business, much to their annoyance. She can easily get into trouble which she quickly apologizes for, often with a small chuckle or laugh.
She is also very diligent, much like the Entity that chose her. At home, she is always studying and planning, often looking for ways to help out even in her own, little way resulting in some cunning, and backhanded dealing. Usually responsible for Rin's armament and ammunition orders, she has also gained quite a good negotiating skill, able to strike good deals for good prices.
Appearance: She has short blonde hair and big reddish-orange eyes. Her incisors are quite sharp, making a smile similar to a shark when she grins. She is quite short, standing at 4'9"' and weighs 42 kg, thanks to a small frame. She usually wears some sort of school uniform consisting of a black, short-sleeved blazer with yellow linings over a white, button-up shirt with a red short skirt and a red bow.
History: Izumi is literally, a foreigner, studying in one of the most prestigious and classiest schools in Friergate. Her parents were huge business tycoons who owned several franchises in their home country. She was studying in Friergate since her family wanted to expand operations in this city but aren't able to yet, thanks to them being wary of Friergate's notorious reputation. She was to study and at the same time, scout for good places to setup shop. They already own a luxury condominium there so, she opted to stay there rather than look for another place to rent. Their staff were locals though so, she once overheard them talking about the infamous, Sinner's Circus which got her interest.
She dug some more information by asking around and doing her own research and learned of the existence of another, opposing group: Synchronicity. She then thought "Hey, if I can get rid of the Circus, maybe our family can expand operations here and have me inherit the entire franchise!" She then searched for this other group, diligently persevering in both this endeavor and her studies. She managed to find Rin by chance and offered to be her catalyst--or Child, as they call them.
Staying with this group though, eventually, their ideals started to rub off her, making her want to beat Circus without thinking of any reward at all. Eventually, she just wanted that all of them survive this ordeal, no matter how hard it is though.
Why did you accept the contract? "Hehe, I volunteered so, how could I not accept?"
Weapons and Abilities
Overview:
Overview:
Izumi's strength lies in negotiating and making deals with people, allowing her to supply Rin with all the armaments she asks for as well as the other members, if they ask for it. She is also adept at making false information and documents that she uses to purchase guns and other equipment. She also makes a good accountant. Initially, she doesn't really have any powers or things like that but, she received some physical enhancement after her contract with Rin was forged.
Still, she isn't really a fighter than she is a sponsor so, she doesn't really accompany Synchronicity in their missions, opting to stay behind at their base. Due to the nature of her contract with Rin though, she had developed some uncanny and unorthodox magical abilities.
Her Weapons: - Rin has her carry some weapons in case she needed to buy time to escape. She was taught how to handle knives and firearms but, isn't really good at it. Her accuracy is even worse than Rin, coming in at only 23%.
Spectre M4 - A rare, Italian sub-machine gun. It is rather heavy, weighing in at more than 3 kg, requiring Izumi to use both hands to fire it, though she literally can with only one but not as stable. It is equipped with simple iron sights and a 50-round, casket magazine to eliminate the need for constant reloading. Like Rin's Beretta, it also fires modified .45 ACP bullets with emphasis on stopping power but low velocity. This was chosen so she can use spray tactics due to her low accuracy. It is heavy though, so she only brings it whenever she has to meet with someone to pick up a deal.
Eickhorn Advanced Combat Knife - Izumi carries two of this model with her for self defense. It is a German-made, multipurpose knife that is 355mm long and weighs only 440 grams with the sheath, making it easy to conceal. She isn't that adept at this as well and her skill in using it is just a little bit inferior to Rin's.
Magic: - Due to the nature of her contract with Rin, the magic she gained is also strange by the group's standards. It is nothing too flashy like summoning elemental attacks or familiars but, it gets the job done and compliments her contractor well.
Damage Enchantment - Izumi has an uncanny ability of enhancing normal, human weapons into items that can damage Entities. She uses this on their bullets and knives.
Background Meld - Due to their contract, Izumi has gained an ability that lets her turn completely invisible. It wears off after 10 minutes and requires around a full day's rest to recover. Her invisibility can also be dispelled if someone touches her but, she will only be visible to that person.
Contact - By exchanging hairs with anyone, she can easily contact them, regardless of location. It works somewhat like a walkie-talkie as long as the hair remains embedded within their body, usually within the fingernails. It's more efficient than portable transmitters since it doesn't need a signal and works even underwater. Currently, she has only done this with Rin.
Trivia:
- The nature of Rin and Izumi's contract is rather different from among the other Sins and Virtues. Instead of blood or spiritual energy, their contract deals with knowledge and resources. Izumi gets the magic and physical enhancement while Rin acquires the knowledge about the world as seen through Izumi's eyes. This is also why Izumi didn't really get too much of an enhancement as compared to other catalysts.
- Her reasons for wearing her uniform most of the time is that some have taught her that being in uniform makes her seem more innocent and trustworthy.
- She hides in the cost of the guns within the maintenance cost of their condominium.
- The reason why she chose this type of contract is because she wasn't too comfortable with the idea of her soul getting sucked. And she's afraid of getting her skin pierced by any foreign object in order to draw blood. In short, she's squeamish.
- Her face claim is Nio Hashiri from Akuma no Riddle
