Name: Megumi Himura
Nickname: No.
Age: 28
Birthday: April 12
Sign: Aries
Gemstone: Diamond
Blood Type: A-
Fav. Food: Takoyaki
Hated Food: Rockfish
Occupation: Private Detective
Hobbies:
Cop Shows || Shhh. Yes. She knows they're unrealistic, she knows they're cheesy, she knows they glorify the system. Megumi still loves all forms of detective drama, from Law and Order to Detective Conan. She even enjoys a lot of true crime and reality cop shows, because all of them are dramatized enough that she can get some distance.
Kyokushin Karate || Megumi was drawn to this particular karate school as a child, and she has kept up practice with it ever since. Its aggressive, full-contact style of competitive sparring was exactly what she wanted as an angry, confused kid, and as she's grown, it's kept her grounded. She competes only occasionally, now, but she retains her rank as a 6th Dan Black Belt and guest teaches at a local studio.
Kyūdō || Megumi has picked up the traditional art of Japanese archery fairly recently, as a slightly less demanding form of physical training and activity than full-contact karate. Kyūdō, for her, is a much more contemplative activity, as well, and practicing at the dojo she attends is a break from all the conflict and chaos of the outside world.
Virtues:
Efficient || Megumi will always find the simplest, most expedient path to completing a task. It isn't laziness that drives her; it's a desire to ensure that everything is done as well as possible and as efficiently as possible. Neither the yakuza nor her clients as a private detective have any patience for wasted time, and neither does Megumi.
Self-Assured || Megumi knows who she is. She has spent a lot of time and a lot of effort to be as comfortable in her skin as she has become, and nothing is going to shake her from that now. She knows that she is good at what she does, and smart, and driven, and that confidence shines in every aspect of how she handles her daily life.
Persuasive || Whether bargaining with a rival family or talking a reluctant source into giving up information, Megumi is very good at convincing people to help her. She knows how to tailor her arguments to the audience, and how to convince people that what she needs is what they need, too.
Flaws:
Hard || Megumi is not, generally, one for soft sentiment. Though she can be kind when it is required, and she isn't cruel, she certainly isn't one for unearned coddling or gentle airs. There's no time in the life she has lived for that sort of nonsense, and she's not going to soften up just because someone thinks she's the right age to be a mom.
Cynical || Being raised in the yakuza does not exactly give one a puppies-and-rainbows view of the world. Working as a private detective chasing down cheaters and liars and thieves of all stripes does not help. Megumi tends to assume the worst of people, and of situations, because in her experience the worst is what you're likely to get. she sees it as realism, but really, she's jut incredibly, darkly cynical.
Unyielding || Megumi will not bend. Megumi will not break. Megumi will only compromise if it is absolutely necessary. She is a mountain in the wind, and while this can be good, it also means that she is not exactly the most tractable person. Being unwilling to bend no matter what doesn't always mean you're strong. Sometimes it just means you're a hardass.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: Monolid, red
Hair: Black-pink ombre, nearly floor-length, worn in a high ponytail
Face: Round, pale skin
Clothes: Pinboard! Also glasses. Megumi has a traditional yakuza full-body tattoo suit, as well.

Knight Title: Shiroyama Page of Mars
Challenge: "The dawn of destiny draws near."
Uniform:
[see right!]
Weapon & Magic
Page Weapon: A blunted matoya, or practice arrow
Squire Weapon: A basic yumi Magic: While Shiroyama is channeling her magic, her quiver fills with ethereal arrows made of fire. Those struck by her arrows are judged on their conduct in the battle to that point: if they have fought bravely, the arrow strike feels comfortingly warm and they will feel as if their fighting spirit has been renewed for the duration of her channeling. If, however, they have behaved in a cowardly or underhanded manner, the arrow strike will feel like actual fire, and they will feel as if their fighting spirit has been burned away. Shiroyama can channel for up to 30 seconds at this stage.
Knight Weapon: A stylized yumi Magic: While Shiroyama is channeling her magic, her quiver fills with ethereal arrows made of fire. Those struck by her arrows are judged on their conduct in the battle to that point: if they have fought bravely, the arrow strike feels comfortingly warm and they will feel as if their fighting spirit has been renewed for the duration of her channeling. If, however, they have behaved in a cowardly or underhanded manner, the arrow strike will feel like actual fire, with the option of damage up to a second degree burn at player discretion at this stage, and they will feel as if their fighting spirit has been burned away. Shiroyama can channel for up to 45 seconds at this stage.
