Akakatsu, Kaoru

[akakatsu! Kaoru.]

Kiri no Cho
(The Mist Butterfly)
"An ebony darkness that dyes the sky red
Swallowed the stardust
Ash like snow falls and accumulates briefly

My thoughts soared up
Into the desolate night sky and shattered
Every time when this world changed its shape
It destroyed
The things that I wanted to protect"

P H Y S I C A L I T Y

• 5'8”
  
• 127 lbs
  
• Slender, athletic. Black blue hair, blue eyes.
  

  Kaoru is a young teenage woman, whose appearance seems to hold much confidence. Black blue hair falls beyond her shoulders with bangs framing her forehead and face. Narrow blue eyes seem to come off as cool. Kaoru has a slender face that can reveal emotions but tends to remain calm, relaxed and a bit stoic. Her body is slender, yet athletic with lanky legs that add to her height. Her muscles aren't the most prominent aspect of her body but when flexed you can visibly see the outline of them.

  
  
• White trench coat, wrapped bandages. White pants and gray/white boots.
  

  Karou's outfit comes off a bit saint like, given its white hue. She dons a white trench coat like jacket that has kanji stitched in on the back in red. The meaning behind the kanji remains a secret, though those who read it can understand what it says but may not know what it means to Kaoru herself. The trench coat can be button but is usually left open to reveal bandages across her upper torso that act as a sort of top. She also wears white pants with a black belt and gray/white boots. Around her neck she has a leather necklace adorned with a simple golden ring.

  
  
• Birthmark on her left backside and a scar on her right shoulder blade.

• A Look Into the Past
  At first glance, she comes off as a bit cool and confident. This comes from the mentor ship she went through, as well as the resolve she took on. To understand her resolve you would have to look into her past, and how she was because of a particular incident that happened. She had felt so much anger and resentment after her parents being killed, that she went blindly into revenge. However, that did not solve anything and you could say she became severely depressed and isolated herself. Through this isolation she put herself into, she became lost. Due to meeting someone and thus putting all of her feelings and emotions aside, she began to feel some move into the right direction. But, the feelings of resentment, hate and anger were still there. She had to understand them somehow and over come them. Upon meeting a wise samurai, she began to understand them and learned a special value; the value of family and that genes aren't what create family but experiences.
  
  And even though she didn't have a long experience at the orphanage, she felt she might. And that she wanted to protect what she gained; a friend.
  
  A Step Towards An Inner Meaning

[/i]
Even though she may not fully understand her feelings, she is trying to. And is moving towards finding her inner meaning. She knows now what hate/resentment can do, what feelings it can create and such unhappiness. She didn't want to feel that way and focused more on what she wanted to protect. And felt a sense of obligation. Which, made her into the "big sister" figure she is now. She has a sense of responsibility and is much more wise than she once was. What once was dull, has become sharp. She is prideful, in that she values her origins now but holds more pride in what she has instead of dwelling on what she didn't have. Who once was isolated, values companionship to the point where she has a good bit of tolerance, especially with a group who can be so unreasonable sometimes. She tolerates their antics because she likes being together with everyone.

She has also developed some confidence, especially with some wise guidance from a particular samurai. And, she has fears but does not particularly show them and tends to face them head on instead of running away from them.

Kaoru still seems to hold some cold tendencies, but brings out this potential that she is willing to support you no matter how gloomy life may be. She seems to clearly understand what life is like and doesn't sugar-coat the cruel realities of the world for herself, even when she’s kind enough to do so for other people. She is essentially an ideal friend but can also be a dangerous foe. This comes from willingness to protect and support others, even to the point where she would give her life up. She would rather stand up to a foe, even if it meant dying. If it was to protect the experiences she has had, that have had great meaning to her. Her dangerousness also comes from the fact that she has a strong-will and that her emotions, even though she doesn't show them that often can be a driving or guiding force for her. Kaoru is the kind of person that as long as there is a small light of hope she will fight for it and not succumb to her dark side and despair. She has learned to essentially channel her emotions into something and make them a driving force for her.

She doesn't trust easily, but is not distrusting in that at first she may not trust someone but upon knowing them long enough she may eventually trust them. This bit comes from her past, in that she thought she could never really trust anyone ever again because she saw just about everyone as an enemy but that point of view has changed a bit. She is also very loyal to those she trusts. Along with being loyal to those she trusts, she can be more open with them and more 'herself', well the self she was meant to be before everything tragic happened to her. She can sometimes even be a bit shy when given a compliment by someone who she holds close to her. There also might be a bit of comical side to her, though that comes more so from her younger sister.[/blockquote]

Rank establishes level of summoning user can bring forth.
    Description: As its name implies, the Avatar is the creation of a medium from which the ninja can summoning, without the need of seals and such.

This creation will yield an extremely sharp edge that functions like the normal blade itself.
