APPEARANCE

Striking and gorgeous--she may not be the most beautiful woman in the world, but she could easily be in most people's top ten. She has striking red hair that she keeps tied back in a ponytail. A cute face with bright eyes and full lips. It's hard to tell that she's not entirely human, but if you study her long enough, her features are a little too fine and her fingers a little too long for an average human. She has an hourglass figure and a generous rack that she doesn't bother to cover up most days, even when it's freezing out. She favors skimpy and revealing clothes regardless of whether or not it's appropriate for the situation. She has a red tattoo that stretches from her sternum to her navel. She looks like a sleaze and carries herself in a very casual way.

SKILLS

Shura was trained in her clan's school of fighting and is a master of the Kirigakure style. She later received some medical training and has a fairly extensive knowledge of medicinal plants and alternative remedies. She was also trained in subterfuge.

ABILITIES

  • ARCANE - Shura knows a great deal of cantrips and spells, often to seal something away or create magical barriers or circles. The stronger the barrier, the more time and preparation she requires, though she's learned a few shortcuts along the way. She is also able to seal her sword inside of the blood seal on her body.
  • WILD - Shura is able to use elemental magic to enhance and strengthen her sword technique. She also knows spells to help boost another mage's wild magic.
  • FORBIDDEN - Shura was raised to follow in her mother's footsteps and become an assassin and was accordingly taught a good number of forbidden techniques. Since leaving her master, she has focused more on how to defend against against forbidden magic and how to reverse or heal any of its effects.



  • PERSONALITY

    CAPRICIOUS - She lies about her age and motivations and just does whatever she wants. There's no point in not having fun in this life, even if it means stressing out some fuddy duddies.
    LAZY - If she can get someone else to do her work for her, great. She might cause problems, but it's a calculated move. Sometimes causing trouble upfront means less work later on down the line.
    TEMPERAMENTAL - Shura has feelings, and she's quick to react, whether in anger or something more positive. She's controlled, but she won't hold back from thumping anyone who annoys her or doling out praise if she's satisfied.
    PERCEPTIVE - While not the smartest, Shura's intuition is reliable. She notices the small details and her gut instinct is usually correct.
    RESPONSIBLE - In spite of her laziness, she's not going to let anyone get hurt if she can help it. Somehow, she keeps being assigned to leadership roles and in spite of her reluctance to take responsibility, she ends up doing a pretty good job keeping her men in one piece.
    LOYAL - It's hard to win Shura's loyalty, but once she's attached, she's willing to go to hell and back for her loved ones, even if it means turning her sword on the man who raised her.


    KEY EVENTS IN GAME HISTORY

    ANCESTRAL CONTRACT - Some generations ago, a human woman named Tatsuko escaped from her clan into the northern hinterlands, not far from Krimnos. As she was taking with her valuable secrets of an assassin clan, her former associated were sent to silence her. Tatsuko was mortally wounded during her flight, but happened on a solitary beastfolk man who fell in love with her and offered her power and the chance to avenge herself on her clan in exchange for the freedom of her descendants as she was not likely to live for long and he was a lonely man. Tatsuko readily agreed to this. Shura was the most recent generation in the Kirigakure line and was brought up to follow in her ancestor's footsteps, learning the Kirigakure style of fighting as well as learning magic from Hachiro. Her childhood was hell, ad she had no chance of escaping on her own.

    RESCUE - Shura was saved on accident by a man name Shiro Fujimoto when she was still young. Hachiro was impressed with Shiro's strength and agreed to let Shura go with him to Krimnos on the condition that she return when she was older and had a child. Having some sympathy for the dirty little brat, Shiro reluctantly took her in as her student for a few years until she was old enough to enroll at the military academy he taught at. For all that was was naturally gifted and already had a young lifetime of training behind her, Shura was an indolent student. During this time, Shura met one of Shiro's adoptive sons, a cowardly boy name Yukio, and had a lot of fun harassing him when she wasn't trying to get Shiro's attention. Eventually, Shiro had to throw her out of the academy and Shura grudgingly enlisted in the military because there wasn't much else for someone like her.

    GROWTH - For all that she was terrible in school, Shura quickly found her niche in the military. She was capable, sly, and responsible, and she was able to rise through the ranks quickly. She spent some time as a spy, but would eventually return to Krimnos to teach at the military academy after Shiro's death. Prior to his death, Shiro had asked Shura to take his other adopted son, Rin, on as her student. Shura refused Shiro at that time due in large part to her wounded ego, but after meeting Rin eventually caved and agreed to teach him. She reunited with Yukio at this time, and though she still teased him, it was hard to miss the bond between them.

    FREEDOM - However, as tensions grew between the kingdoms, Shura was called by Hachiro to return to the forests of her childhood as there were suspicious people mucking about. Though Shura had no intention on returning, she couldn't leave the aging Hachiro in his time of need. He was cruel, but Shura knew well enough that he was also terribly lonely and so empathized with him. Shura left Krimnos suddenly, unaware that Rin and Yukio would follow after her once they realized something was wrong. A confrontation followed when the four met in the wild forest. Yukio was nearly killed, but the thought of Hachiro hurting one of the two people she actually cared for was enough to make her turn her sword against Hachiro for the first time in her life. The shock of his beloved turning on him was enough to defeat Hachiro, and Shura was freed from his curse.

    After this, Shura was determined to make a better life for herself. However, war broke out , war broke out and her good intentions had to be put on the back-burner until things calmed down. Unfortunately, Shura was killed early in the war, recognized by Thalassan soldier who knew her from her days as a spy and recognized her potential danger, and so was never able to try and live out the life Shiro had wished for her.
