Played By: Ryougi

Physical Characteristics

Apparent Age: 17
Actual Age: 19
Gender: Female
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 109 lbs
Appearance: Shiki can usually be seen wearing a traditional Japanese kimono in varying colors, but she usually wears one in a shade of blue that is similar to the sky during daybreak on a clear autumn day. The kimono itself is fitted to suit her lean, dancer like body and allow for a wide range of movement. Most of the time she'll wear a red leather jacket over the kimono just for the effect that it gives. To add to the effect she wears black leather combat boots that aren't just for show.

Her hair is black as night and she wears it short. If it should get any longer than it is now, she would take a knife and just cut it herself. Her eyes are a shade of slate grey that is so dark it makes her eyes look almost as black as her hair. She has a thin, lean build of a dancer but her soft appearance hides the fact that her body is fine tuned for combat. She has no scars or markings from training with bladed weapons but yet she handles them with a precision that is rather unlikely for most. She usually keeps her face a blank mask to hide what she's thinking or what she's feeling but even then its not enough. She can't completely hide behind the mask of calm tranquility and its evident in her actions before becoming evident in her eyes or expression.

Shiki is rarely ever seen without her katana or her knives. She wears her katana over her shoulder as if it were a traveling pack so that its easy to draw at a moments notice. Her knives on the other hand are a bit more hidden. She has one knife concealed behind her back within the folds of the kimono and just in her reach. The other, she has in a thigh sheath and is a last resort.

In a combat situation her actions change entirely and it alters the view some people have of her. Her actions are reliant on only two things. The weapon she chooses and the personality that's in control.

Behavioral Characteristics

Personality: Shiki's personality all depends on when exactly you see her. She has a split personality and both halves of her personality act almost as polar opposites. Although both halves of her personality are completely different, they both seem to follow the same standards in their own way of course. The only standards that seem to carry on to both personalities are her sense of loyalty and the need to protect the sanctity of life. There are times when she is capable of switching between personalities at will but most often it depends on the situation. Her actions may lead some people to believe that there is another, third, personality because of the moments when she acts like neither of her personalities and like both of them.

One side of her personality expresses a small piece of her true nature. This side of her personality reminds one of a young girl with slight self esteem issues and she's a little more expressive with her emotions, meaning that one can actually tell she feels something. While like this, she looks for the fun in whatever she's doing. She is much kinder in this state and has a strong sense of justice. She will fight for what she believes is right and defend the weak. Sometimes she'll even stand by the old saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and she'll protect one of her enemies from the greater threat. When fighting like this, she acts as if her sole purpose is to protect what needs protecting and to destroy those that threaten what needs protecting. Her goal like this is to be fair and just towards those around her. Even the people she usually dislikes are given a second chance.

The other side of her personality can simply be described as an empty shell. She is seemingly emotionless but does express annoyance and anger quite frequently. This frame of mind is usually a self defense mechanism and the state in which she fights most often. This state is her greatest strength and her greatest weakness because it harbors the truly frightening part of her. Like this, she is an uncaring person whose few words can tear a person apart inside and make them doubt themselves or regret everything they have ever done and she's not opposed to completely obliterating the things in her way.. She is serious to the point of training until she breaks and relentlessly chasing after a target. She sees herself as an avenger that's only purpose is to right the wrongs in the world but she has a tendency to go about it the wrong way. Her most expressed emotion in this state is anger. Her anger is a cold, empty void of nothingness that consumes her completely, allowing her to break free of anything she may have told herself to keep in control. When consumed by her rage, she is a cold, murderous person but will rarely kill unless pushed beyond her limits. Her control over her murderous impulse is shared by both halves of her personality but the darker side of her has a little less control. To her, what's a little justice without a little revenge included?

Overall, she is a very proud person and will instantly protect that pride in any given situation should the need arise. Occasionally she does make people feel bad about themselves or she does get them angry for little to no reason. Even if there is a reason for someone to be upset with her, she may not remember. Both halves of her personality shield from the other the things that it should concern itself with. Having this split personality tears her up inside because of having to constantly fight for who she is. She is forever locked in that circle of self conflict unless she can find a way to just be herself. Because of this trait of hers, she no longer remembers what she's really like.

Her true personality is hidden underneath the split personality. The split personality being a self defense mechanism that developed at an early age. Her true personality is a unique mixture of both pieces of her split personality with a slightly different feel to them. In truth, she acts uncaring and cold towards most while only showing a sliver of warmth towards a select few. She has a tendency to have murderous impulses towards those who try to understand her. Those murderous feelings do carry on to the other personalities but her control is limited. Her true personality is a very unforgiving individual who dislikes meaningless slaughter and will try to stop it should the circumstances be right. She never feels lonely even though she is alone in almost everything. She rejects the split personality as much as she accepts it. She rejects it because of the fact its an abnormality but she accepts it because without it she'd be alone.

Likes: Shiki is the type of person who values the quiet of the world. She enjoys the little things that most people overlook and if she were honest with herself she'd even admit that as much as she likes to be alone, she enjoys being around others more,
Dislikes: Simply put, ice cream. She absolutely hates it, not because of any reason other than its cold. She hates it when people try to analyze her so they can understand her. Its a major annoyance to her and it makes her feel awkward. Emotions in general are something she dislikes due to the fact she doesn't really understand them.
Strengths: Her greatest strength is her greatest weakness. Although it's a burden to her, it protects her a great deal and allows her to adapt to situations well. Her loyalty to those who have earned her trust is unwavering no matter what part of her personality is expressed. Her past is one of the things that keeps her moving forward. Never wanting history to repeat itself, her past pushes her onward and keeps her sight on what's important. Determination, a single word that describes her single minded longing to exact justice. Her skills with bladed weapons are among something even a master would fear. Just holding a bladed weapons seems to shift her personality entirely. Among her strengths is her blunt honesty. She'll tell you exactly what she thinks exactly how she thinks it, regardless of the repercussions. She has no reason to lie so she just tells the truth as she sees it. It aggravates some but others see the honesty as pretty refreshing.
Weaknesses: Her greatest weakness is her split personality. It's a part of her she never wanted to have and she rejects it with all her might. Her pride one of her fatal flaws along with her overconfidence. To wound her pride would instantly get a reaction from her and it hardly ever bodes well for her or the opposing party. Her overconfidence is a flaw that leads her into dangerous and sometimes deadly situations.
Fears: She has two fears that have haunted her since she was a child. One of them is caring for someone. She doesn't want to care for anyone because she thinks it'll make her soft but she knows its inevitable and therefore secludes herself often. Her other fear is forever losing something that she sees as precious to her. Whether the thing is trivial or not is in the eyes of the beholder but she will always try to protect what she values to prevent losing them.
