Name:Tomoko
Nicknames: Tomo-chan (younger siblings), Tomo, Ko
Gender: Female
Age: 14

Faction/Race Demon/Kitsune

Personality: Imagine the most deadly woman you know. Now imagine they look lost and like they need directions all the time. Now take away the deadly part. Pretty much, Tomoko always looks like she's not sure where she is, where she should be, and where it is she's going. You would be too if your native language was not what you were surrounded by. While Tomoko does know a little bit of 'common' language, she primarily speaks Japanese.

This means she does speak English, but not enough to completely spare people from her going "... And then I...i... D;;;;;;!!!" and then resorting to filling in the space with the proper word in JAPANESE that she's thinking of. She is trying though. It's just not common for a member of her family to be surrounded by English.

This isn't to say Tomoko is from a particularly prestigious family. In fact, she's from the opposite; Tomoko's family normally DOESN'T send their children off to Amityville because they managed well enough on their own for several generations to make at least respectable monsters.

Tomoko, unfortunately, has this habit of being like a duckling, picking SOMEONE in a group who seems to know what they're doing and following them silently in hopes it will get her somewhere where she won't feel out of place. This means she'll be quick to latch onto a select group of people to play 'momma duck' to her followings, even if they don't reciprocate. She also did this at home with her younger siblings, so her recreating the mannerism is a coping mechanism for the lack of familiarity. She also doesn't handle unusual situations all that well, quick to get nervous and look to others for help. To say that Tomo is independent is like saying that the undead are immune to fire; it's a lie and you all know it.

However, Tomoko should never been mistaken as being unintelligent. She's at least reasonably smart for her age, boasting a whole -three- tails (one of which split recently), and confident, at least, that she'll at least end up with Six of them. She has to hope, at least. However, she lacks a lot of confidence in herself in general (AKA less-specific things like her tails) and in her nervousness has a bad habit of 'messing up'. Especially when put on the spot.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Tomoko's parents have grown concerned with their eldest child's lack-of-aptitude that her two younger siblings have, as well as her lack of confidence. They believe it would be best for their daughter to be surrounded by monsters of her own age, and possible abilities, to bond with and possibly grow with. There is obviously some potential in the girl, but they may just not be providing the best atmosphere for it. Besides, if the school gives their firstborn some tough-love, it won't be them having to dish it out on the girl's sensitive nerves.

NATURAL ABILITY: Illusions - Kitsunes, especially the females, are known for disguising themselves as human women, amongst other things for a certain amount of time. As weak as Tomoko is, all her natural ability is good for is for 'blending in' with people (which will serve her well in the future). It is using this ability that Tomoko is maintaining a 'humanoid' form, and thus will be in her 'actual' body when she isn't maintaining it.

FEAR: HOSHI-NO-TAMA - According to Myth, Kitsune carry this ball-of-stars as a source of magic. Tomoko is a prime example of this, constantly fidgeting with the crystal-ball sized item as without it she's rendered magic-less.

To Begin: All she can do at this point is create a weak and short-lasting Fox Fire. It flashes brightly and quickly fades away, but is bright enough to temporarily blind a foe. Unfortunately, if someone isn't looking at it or has no eyes she's useless for it.

Where it Will Go: The flame created with the help of the Hoshi-no-Tama will first gain stability in existence (even sacrificing brightness to an extent) and will be able to light-things-up but not burn them. This is more distraction-than-damage and it will move slowly.

From there it will gain the ability to burn and move a little more quickly.

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Violet-indigo-bluish.
Hair Colour/Style: Pale-pale-pale-paaallleeeee. Golden-y yellow in color. Hair is braided and her bangs are held in tow using barrettes. Three of them (to whatever design).
Skin Colour: Also pale-pale-pale-albino.
Clothing Style/Colours: Purple-and-black nightgown-looking-thing. Looks like she walked through a fire of some sort. Any sort of 'asian influences' along with the 'light and innocent' thing would be fine.
Extra: Tomoko has a thing for multiples of three (three barrettes, three ribbons on her dress-nightie, three tails..), though it may just be because she's just barely gotten her two tails to split into three. Maybe a few 'glowies'. Really, how can you not think that girl reflects sunlight?

Extra: Feel free to add in any little 'details' of any sort you like. What I've detailed is the very -basic- of what I want for-sure.

Tomoko's Family -

Tomoko is the middle-member of a family of five. First born child and the first-born girl. While Kitsunes can get anywhere up to 9 tails, her parents come from families of kitsunes that tend to average around 6-8 tails, her mother having 7 and her father having 8. 9 Is a highly prestigious number amongst kitsune, so it's not unusual for there to be some slackers in the tail-numbers.

Because of this, her family has never been very talented at magic, more gifted with intelligence and trickery than setting things ablaze and holding up a good array of illusions. There has been speculation a 9 tailed was once in her family line at some point, so chances are one of her younger siblings may have a chance at the nine tails.

Hibi - Tomoko's father. A middle-late aged kitsune. He waited a little longer than considered 'normal' to settle down with a mate. However, he obviously thinks his only son is the apple of his eye and has been working hard to make sure his boy is at least an 8-tailed kitsune when he grows up. Tomoko adores her father despite the favoritism.

Nemu - Tomoko's mother. She's a little bit younger than Hibi is, but she and her mate seem to be so in love the age difference doesn't matter. She loves all three of her kits dearly and has always been the one to put more effort into both of her daughters (especially Tomoko) in honing their abilities. It was obvious to Nemu first that their eldest child was struggling and may have needed more direction in their schooling than she and her husband could provide.

Rinne and Touya - The baby siblings. Rinne and Touya both sport a trendy two tails and are only a little over half of Tomoko's age. This was the first sign that they were coming along more quickly than Tomoko was, their elder sister having only gotten her second tail around the age of 10. Touya, the boy, is showing a high proficiency for magic which isn't common in their family and is turning into the little family prodigy. Rinne has other concerns in the family history books and has become quite booksmart. Sadly, compared to her siblings, Tomoko is lackluster. She doesn't hold this against them, however.

This wasn't her desk. In fact, this bottle of hard apple cider she was drinking wasn't her's either. Red scratched the back of her head as she flipped through the papers on Arel's desk, trying to see if Arel hid another box of cookies there.

In her haste, Tomoko's application was shifted and buried under the 'Accepted' pile, whereupon it was fed to the Acceptance Bin later as Arel tried to find where he had last placed his bottle of hard apple cider.
