Name: Tai Chin (Tai like in Tai Chi. Chin as in the facial feature)
Gender: Female
Age: 150, looks 18
Side: good
Race: Demon, Snow Leopard
Powers: Tai Chin, like many snow leopards, has power of the snow and other elements of winter. Being from the north, Tai Chin has learned these powers early in life in order to survive in the harsh northern winter. The power over the winter elements is different from having power over merely wind and water; for the northern equivalent are different than they are in the other lands. In the north, Tai Chin's powers are quite strong, for she's within the proximity of the needed elements while being in the southern areas of the lands, those powers are relatively weak.
Yuki Arashi (snow storm) The ability to create a localized snow storm has proven useful in the past whenever Tai needed to make a quick escape; or just to confuse her enemy.
hisame (hail) This also calls upon creating storm clouds in order to create the hail that would pound Tai's enemy. The size of the hail could vary depending on the size of the actual enemy. Hisame can also be added to the Yuki Arashi
Youkai Baria (demon barrier) Used primarily against those of the religion class, the Youkai Baria is a good shield that would stand up to nearly anything a priest, monk, or miko can through at it. Yet, even it has a weakness and cannot be kept up for long.
Yukatai
Sword Powers
Kaze Fuyu (Winter Wind) Summoning a strong gust of bitter winter wind, Tai Chin is able to fend off most youkai and other enemies with this simple sword power.
Koori (Ice) More of icicles than actual ice, this power is more powerful than the Kaze Fuyu, and can cause great damage to anyone and anything that's within range of the attack.
Arashi Yami (Storm of Darkness) Bringing forth unnatural darkness, this attack actually combines the Kaze Fuyu, Hisame, and partially Koori to create a storm that could rival one winter in the north. Only used against an enemy that has greater strength than Tai Chin.
Weakness: Limited use of her winter elements in the southern areas of Feudal Japan. And a limited knowledge of her other powers and of her sword's own as well.
Family: Miya -- mother (deceased) Unchida -- father (deceased) Hoshiko -- half sister (alive)
Relationship Status: single, keeping her options open.
Description
Physical: Human Form Snow Leopard Tai Chin, or Tai, has several piercings in both ears going up along the side of the ears. Each one has a special meaning to her. And to insult her on her piercings is to insult Tai. Though being from the north, Tai's skin's darker than most that one would see that far north. It's some what complimentary of her white, shoulder length hair. Her youkai form is that of a snow leopard; a leopard that has white fur with the black spots of a leopard instead of the yellow that one would see in Africa.
Emotion: Somewhat stoic, Tai Chin first appears not to care about anyone or anything but herself. In partial truth, that's correct. She has been denied attention from her parents when she was younger, and therefore had not had the proper upbringing one would have in the world. The other side of that partial truth is that there is only one surviving member of her family that she knows of, and Tai Chin has yet to meet her. Her half-sister Hoshiko. It maybe possible to gain what she has not had from her. In whole truth, Tai Chin has become increasingly worried of the growing threat Naraku posses to the lands and has been on a quest of her own to bring the evil hanyou down and send him where he belongs; hell. If that means teaming up with some unlikely people, sure.
Background: Born long before Naraku came into the world, Tai Chin was brought up in the belief that she was an only child to her parents; not knowing that she had a half-sister out in the world somewhere. She lived in a small clan of Snow Leopards and learned more from them than from her own parents. It is through her "uncle" that she began to learn of her inherit Snow Leopard powers. When she was fifteen, that same uncle gifted her with Yukatai and the beginning lessons of how to use it and the powers it held.
During this time, her parents had sought fit to rid themselves of their daughter, whom they have not cared for since the time she could walk, talk, and "fend" for herself at the age of ten. When word of the possible killing, Tai Chin's uncle, who has been more of a father to her, sent her away while he dealt with her parents; buying her time to get away. She ran and hid in a cave and after a few days, returned to see that all her clan had died. Now left on her own, Tai Chin began to make her own way in the world; learning of her powers on her own.
Over the years, Tai Chin has become stoic; appearing not to care about anything. Yet during these years, she has grown in power and knowledge; following every lead she had in search of her half-sister Hoshiko. And her hunt of Naraku.
