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?
