Her everyday look:



Appearance: Sachiko is a petite fox-girl (kitsune) with very notable fox features in her youko form(humanoid form) that can distinguish her from any other human girl. Her height is about 158 cm tall without counting in her large fox ears and tail. Her everyday clothing set is composed of an open cloth vest that shows her belly, a pair of comfy sandals with socks to match up her attire, black gloves and tight shorts, all of these serving the purpose of making her feel comfortable in combat as well as making her look pretty in everyone's eyes.

It might also not look like it but Sachiko loves to take care of her external appearance. She has a long, straight yellow hair that covers up the sides of her face and her forehead, it also covers most of her back almost reaching the point where her tail is placed. Her eyes are light green and they are also the most important feature that she loves of herself as she ends up using them the most to charm her victims with.


Personality: On the outside and mostly to strangers, Sachiko is mostly mistaken as a solitary child, scary, weird and someone you wouldn't want to be involved with. Her face when being alone or surrounded by strangers is emotionless and her attitude towards others become cold, sometimes even rude towards them but that's just a way of her of acting around that she "believes" it fits a cool character inside of her head. In reality, she's most of the times pushing people away because of that.

To the people she loves or she feels comfortable with, Sachiko is like a kitten in need of affection. She acts like a hyperactive kid, always wanting to do something and pulling people around with her. She would also be straight forward and jump onto people's lap only to get a bit of attention from them. One could say that this is Sachiko's true self and they wouldn't be wrong, she is a girl full of love to give away to others and the people she treasures the most in her heart are the fuel of her being as their protector. In reality Sachiko is trying her best to start a family for herself but her changing personality makes it difficult sometimes.

Most of the times, Sachiko might act as a silly girl, even drop off her happy personality and seem irritated or just mad but this is not part of her at all. Whenever she pulls off an act like this is only when she is bored or when she feels like toying around with her friends. She's also one of those persons that loves to tease others around but hate to be teased with. When in love, Sachiko becomes very shy around the person she loves and is almost unable to talk to them. She will find ways to indirectly show her love to them but by any mean she won't be the one taking the first step with them.

Although a wind Kitsune (usually known as bad kitsune), Sachiko have never felt the need of being bad towards others or do any kind of evil deeds. She enjoys playing a prank on her friends or strangers from time to time and she also enjoys teasing them all a lot but when she's really needed, she won't think twice when it comes to protecting people around her. Even if they're her enemies, if there is some kind of affection from her towards them then she will jump in their aid but these kind of exceptions won't happen too often.



History: Sachiko's clan, the Sawamura Clan is a very small clan of Wind Kitsune that moved from Japan to the outsides of the Lakecrest City. They have earned their place thanks to the fierce warriors that fought and died, helping the clan stay hidden in the forests for generations. The current clan members are Sachiko's Grandparents(The Elders), her parents and two siblings that survived with them. Sachiko's birth was a bless for the Clan such as every other heir they've had, her unique connection to her roots peeked the elders' attention on her but as soon as she was old and skilled enough to survive on her own, she left the household with nothing more than her personal weapons leaving everything else behind. She felt that her destiny was not following her clan's rules but discover the way to her roots, a way that she would only find in the Lakecrest City.

Sachiko's life was not easy but it was not hard either. She lived under her elders' care the first 8 years of her life, after her birth when she was still a small fox with only 1 tail and unable to change forms until she was able to change by herself without problems. When she was 9 years old her training to endure life as a fighter started, from day to night she followed a rigorous training that shaped her spirit into focusing on growing her next tails based on how much she could improve physically on her own.  Anyone could think of this kind of life as practical, even okay if one wanted to have everything easily given but that life style was simply not for her. Sachiko was not happy and although she was grateful that she had a solid way to earn her tails plus being able to defend herself thanks to all the training she had, she also blames her family from caging her away from the world.

After her first 8 years as a Fox and being able to finally shapeshift into an imperfect human form, Sachi was more than happy to learn what it took to earn her second tail and get done with her training as soon as possible to do whatever she wanted with her life. Her family had always other plans for her. As a female heir, it would be easier for them to find a suitable husband from another clan and strengthen both families power through it... Sachiko in the other hand didn't really care nor she wanted to do anything with this.

For Sachiko, training to become a fighter was the perfect excuse to delay her training as a suitable bride. It was not all wasted as she found the training very useful and fun for herself. In the end, it would be nice if she knew how to defend herself in case things got rough around her. For 10 years she dedicated herself day and night every day to master the ways of the Iaijutsu, a Japanese technique of quickly drawing your weapon and attacking your enemy at high speed. Sachiko could manage to duel with her parents and siblings on the same level as them and eventually her hard training paid off with the growth of her second tail.

The Sawamura's clan rules states that every member with 2 tails or more is “old” enough to do what they please with their lives. Her parents and elders sure were surprised with the acquisition of her second tail but having things her way was not gonna be as easy as she thought. Her Father and current leader of the clan challenged her to a duel of honor with simple conditions, if she won she was not only free to do what she wanted but she would also get her family's support on it. If she lost then she would have to forget about her sword training and become whatever her clan had planned for her.

The duel lasted an entire day but Sachiko eventually came out as a winner. Her father unable to keep up with her energy (mostly due his age) had no choice but to grant her wish, freeing her from her Clan's rules and allowing her to leave.

It was not only after 2 years of living on her own and surviving with nothing but her swords and instincts that Sachiko managed to obtain her third tail. She not only became wiser but also stronger as being by herself freed her from the chains that restrained her from learning more than she could have before.

In her 21th birthday, Sachiko arrived the Lakecrest city with a few goals in her head. She decided to establish herself in the city for a while, trying to live a normal life and if possible, forming a family of her own. For a few months, Sachiko have had the thought of leaving her clan ways aside and live as any other citizen of Lakecrest but working as a mercenary and being able to help others have kept her from doing so. Whatever comes next for her might definitely change the way she thinks for one way or the other.






Od: E (20 units)
Strength: F 
Endurance: F
Agility: F



Equipments:

Name: Yorukaze (Katana)
Rank: E
Description: Sachi's main weapon for assassination and combat. One of the two weapons passed down to her by her family after she gained her second tail and proved to be worthy of it. Its blade is red and its weight is light enough for Sachi to perform quick attacks with it. It can be imbued with magic but Sachi usually prefers not to do so.


Name: Makaze (Wakizashi)
Rank: E
Description: Sachi's secondary and less used weapon. Sachi's first weapon and the one she used mostly to train until she got her second tail. Its blade and weight are normal compared to other companion swords but for some reason Sachi never enjoyed using it. It can also be imbued with magic but Sachi only carries this sword around as a last resource for dangerous encounters.




Weaknesses:

Name: Kitsune Ball
Description: A ball that varies in size and color with no power or special abilities. The Kitsune will usually store some of their magic in it making it their most valued possession and thus making them vulnerable if they have it lost or stolen. This ball is meaningless to others but for the Kitsune is almost as important as their own lives. If stolen, the new owner will have the choice of giving it back or using it to control the Kitsune out of their own will. The ball however doesn't grant any kind of absolute command over the Kitsune, it's mainly fear of the Kitsune of having their valued item broken that makes them obey.



Sachi has her Kitsune Ball attached in a collar that she carries around her neck, under her vest hiding it from everyone's eyes to protect it.

Skills:

Name: Melee Weaponry (Iaido)

Description: The capability to use swords, spears, and other melee weapons skilfully; including both sharp and bludgeoning weapons. Rank E would be basic training, while rank D would be an expert – ranks beyond these would be more akin to the stuff of legends of samurai and knights. Sachi's weapon preference has limited herself to learn and efficiently use Katanas and Wakizashis.
Rank: E


Abilities:

Name: Shapeshifting / Youko - Fox
Description: The capacity to turn from the form of an animal to the form of a human. At E rank this is a change from human to a typical wild example of the animal, taking a minute to complete; albeit typically coming with some nausea from the change. In Sachi's case, she has not yet the power to fully transform into a human but she can still manage the get most of it done. She can turn from her Fox form to a humanoid form but still retaining some of her fox features such as her tails, ears and the iris of her eyes. Sachi much rather stay in her Youko form to avoid the nausea that comes with the Shapeshifting.
Rank: E

Name: Kitsune Seduction
Description: A form of mind control. By using her tails in a swaying manner, or by meeting the gaze of her target, Sachi is capable of taking over their mind. While under Sachi's control, the victim will believe the first sentence that Sachi tells them or agree on a single request from her (either of them will last only for a post). This ability however only works once against the same target per thread for a single, non-lethal request and Sachi usually abuse of it to get away from situations she wouldn't want to deal with. This form of mind control makes use of magic, any form of mental resistance or magic resistance can easily nullify this effect.
Rank: E


Name: Foxfire
Description: Sachi's ability to make small 'fox lanterns' by rubbing her tails together. She can produce small balls of fire to float around her and guide her way in the dark. Sometimes she even makes them to play with them as toys.
Rank: E


Name: Environmental Awareness
Description: The ability of heightened keen observation of one's own environment. It is gained from being involved in dangerous situations that may cause death or drastic injury. This capacity for sensing danger relies on increasing the sensitivity of all five senses.
Rank: E


Name: Wind Control
Description: A natural abilitiy unique to Wind Kitsune. It allows the Kitsune to freely control the wind around them and manipulate them as their own. Sachi's clan have always used the wind as a speed booster for their weapons, using it as a powerful imbue that makes their attacks go faster. In some cases, they would even release the imbue from their weapons in a powerful slash of wind for for ranged attacks.  
Rank: E

Techniques/Spells:

Name: Wind Force
Incantation: ”Kaze... Watashi ni anata no chikara o ataemasu!”
Description: A wind spell that Sachi uses to empower her weapon with the element of Air. The technique doesn't boost the weapon's attack or defense, instead, it acts as a secondary attack that comes after successfully performing a quick draw attack(Iaijutsu). This attack comes with the form of a wind slash that cuts through everything in its path. It will follow a single direction and it will fade away after it hits its target (in the direction the slash's going) or after it has traveled past 10 meters. The direction will always be the one the user is facing after performing the attack. The secondry attack deals E rank damage if it hits.
Rank: E
Cost: 4 units
Type: Offensive


Name: Sky Blade Force
Description: An Iaijutsu technique that makes use of Sachi's imbued weapon (Wind Force) and her whole body. This technique helps suppressing the wind power from being completely released from her weapon in one slash allowing Sachi to perform 5 quick attacks in a row before fully letting go of the wind power. This technique nullifies the effect of her Wind Force spell (the damage) however, the power drawn from it grants her extra speed for every attack she performs until the technique is over. Each hit deal E rank damage be it that they hit the target, get blocked or parried.
Rank: E
Cost: 5 Units
