Name: Hoshiko
Gender: female
Age: 123 looks 15
Side: good
Race: half-demon -- snow leopard
Powers: Hoshiko has limited knowledge of her powers and how they work. But of the ones she does know of, she's well capable of using. And because she's only a hanyou, her powers will be of a decreased power level than other Snow Leopards who are full blood youkai.
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. This is perhaps the one thing that Hoshiko is quite capable of controlling.
Yuki Arashi (snow storm) The ability to create a localized snow storm has proven useful in the past whenever Hoshiko needed to make a quick escape. Quite useful for the escaping and eluding hanyou.
hisame (hail) This also calls upon creating storm clouds in order to create the hail that would pound multiple enemies. The size of the hail could vary depending on the size of the actual enemy. Hisame can also be added to the Yuki Arashi. Because of Hoshiko's lack of power in her natural and inherit powers over the winter elements, hisame is more like sleet than actual hail whenever Hoshiko uses this power.
Kasai Arashi (Fire storm) The only opposite element power that Hoshiko has. Of all the powers she has, this is the only one she had to work twice as long on than her other powers due to its nature to be opposite of ice/water.
Weapons
Sais Koori and Kasai (ice and fire) No one can explain how Hoshiko obtained the two elemental opposite sais, but she did. Using both does not help Hoshiko much in battle; unless she intends on giving her enemies permanent frostbite; which results in loss of limb and/or life.
Sword
Totasi Totasi was granted to Hoshiko upon completion of her training under Kamishie; the sword master and captain of her mother's guard. It was said that the sword would chose its owner, not the other way around. So, when Hoshiko touched it when Kamishie presented it to her, Totasi glowed an icy blue. From that moment on, Hoshiko carried the sword and her two sais, Koori and Kasai everywhere she went.
Weakness: Ultimate weakness is becoming human.
Family: Tai Chin -- elder sister Unchida -- father (deceased) Rinachi -- mother
Relationship Status: single.
Description
Physical: A mix of Form 1 and Form 2 for her human form. Hoshiko has slightly transparent leopard spots all over her body, in combination with the snow leopard ears and a tail. Something that hanyous born between humans and youkai with tails normally wouldn't have. Golden eyes and black hair seem to only add to the allure of Hoshiko.
Emotion: Being the youngest child in her mother's band of children, Hoshiko was not only teased because of that, but due to her appearance of a hanyou. This resulted in being a bit withdrawn and untrusting of others to a degree. If they can earn her trust, they have it for life. Though, Hoshiko has learned that many are not to be trusted and has earned her place in the world by protecting those that couldn't; from human war lords or from youkai. She may be a bit withdrawn, but do not doubt that she can snap and offend everyone she can.
Background: Being the youngest child in her mother's "band" of children, Hoshiko was not only teased because of that, but due to her appearance of a hanyou. Knowing very little of her father, having only seen him once in a very great while, Hoshiko has learned that he was not the type of father she would want for her children, if she ever had any. Her siblings, in spite of their near constant teasing, took care of Hoshiko and tolerated her presence.
When she was old enough, the guard captain began Hoshiko's training. A pair of sais that seemed that has never been used were given to her and she felt a power coming from them. For about three years, Hoshiko was trained by the captain of the guard. The day she had ended her training was when a small band of local youkai attacked. She charged in and killed half of the youkai. What happened was her youkai blood had emerged.
In fear of Hoshiko, the captain of the guard baned Hoshiko from returning. She had time to say her goodbyes to her family. During this time, she learned that she had an older half-sister, a full youkai, in the north somewhere. Upon leaving her home that she has known for nearly fifty years, Hoshiko traveled north; beginning her search. Over the years, she's helped villages rid themselves of troublesome local youkai in return for housing and food.
During a relatively calm day in one of the villages, a traveling swordsman entered the village in search of Hoshiko. It was him that gave her the sword that she now carries. He explained that, having heard of the events that caused her banishment from home, that it will contain her youkai blood much better than her sais; seeing how her youkai blood is of a predator.
