Casual Clothing/appearance: At school she wears the mandated school uniform that first years are required to wear. An azure top and mini skirt that edgings are trimmed with the gold embroidering that she specially redesigned on the first day of receiving, completely disregarding the possible permission needed for changing it. Her reasoning behind this minor change was from seeing other second years customized them far more. Tucked away under the collar of one's shirt is her oni that she pulls out whenever she is dancing on school property, a red silken scarf of sorts stretching about eight feet long and quite light.
Combat Clothing/appearance: Little shock should come from this, as a performer Maiha sticks wither her traditional kimono garb. Maiha’s more exotic tastes sometimes results in more traditionally taboo outfits that easterners wore. A crimson see-through shawl usually is wrapped about her dancer's figure. Beneath it is basically jeweled undergarments that some religious folk might view indecent for the top and a long ornate skirt that draped down over top her legs. Draped about her head was a hood that helped add to the mysterious and teasing effect to her audience.
Inventory/accessories: Satchel, comb, ōgi (folding fans) and makeup kit.
Personality: Maiha Yamauchi has an arrangement of characteristics that influence her interactions with individuals, particularly around other kono clan members and other clans in general. For the most part, Maiha is the perfect product of her upbringing thanks to the artistic enjoyment of the Kono clan despite the misfortunes they suffered in conflict. Soft spoken and pacifist in nature makes her quite hesitant to join into a brawl, on top of that her profession was catered for peace talks instead of battle. Thanks to her tranquil nature she often manages to slip in and out of conversations with great ease as many the majority of her male audience is entranced and lining up to court her while the female half is wishing to be her. With this constant surveillance it is not hard to see where her vanity comes from, but among this egotistical view that she is superior to those mainly in the forms of dance she also knows to humble herself given a particular situation. Conversing with the masses Miaha often sees herself standing among people who wish to praise her but generally doesn’t interject more than the occasional ‘thank you’ or nod of the head. Although her dancing offers an air of professionalism she would much prefer fading into the background and avoiding the crowds after a performance as she has lived most her life being adored and deep down she just wants a bit of peace and quiet. Despite her adoption into the kono family she doesn’t deem herself as someone worthy to continue the clan’s lineage, as her joy comes from assisting those outcast by society much like the woman whom she procured her sacred relic as an heirloom from the Kono leader. The Kanzashi of Izumo no Kuni.

Ambitions/Goals: For the most part Maiha just wishes to bring peace to the clan who brought her such great opportunities to perform as they have suffered and caused their fare share of bloodshed between the various rivalling clans. She also dreams of someday being able to perform for the Emperor/Empress.
Habits/Mannerisms: Maiha tends to fidget when sitting down or standing still. An issue that disappears as soon as she gets into her dance as she doesn’t enjoy slowing down as she is use to such a fast paced life. When conversing people often wonder if Maiha is actually capable of talking as she generally will try and answer questions with simple head shakes indicating no and yes.
Strengths: (3 to 5 things your character is good at. Must have equal weaknesses.)
- Distracting: Thanks to her role as a performer, Maiha is quite efficient at distracting a crowd of people even those who have straining tension. Her body manipulation is superb among the others in her specialization and has managed to even keep the piece among disgruntled officials of the Kono clan.
- Physical Endurance: Thanks to the arduous years of dancing for others pleasure, Maiha had developed a excess amount of energy that courses through her particularly through her performances. Few people can keep up with the constant maneuvering and precise angles she can move herself in.
- Wise: Although she hasn’t learned much through her years of service to the Kono clan, Maiha has learned to read the mood of an atmosphere and leave when she recognizes that she won’t be able to prevent a brawl. Know when to walk away, and know when to run.
- Fragile: As she developed this fit dancers build, Maiha failed to build a muscular layer that actually helped protect her delicate bones. Thanks to this foresight she is injured quite easily when inflicted upon with injuries.
- Pacifist: Thanks to her upbringing, Maiha has been taught to act just as any girl should be in most japanese culture. A well mannered shrine maiden who keep her nose and fists out of belligerent situations.
- Easily Intimidated: Maiha has spent most of her life being told what to do with stern threats or voices making her quite easily persuaded to keep her mouth shut or hand out of a fight she might have gotten involved with.

Original Owner: Izumo no Kuni
Clan: None
History: Izumo no Kuni was best known for being the originator of the kubaki theaters performing both as an actor as well as dancer. Another interesting note was the perception of being a miko or shrine maiden at the Grand Shrine of Izumo. Among her many talents Izumo displayed those of numerous dances, songs and portrayals in shows. Izumo no Kuni’s father, Nakamura Sanemon, was a blacksmith by trade that was primarily passed down to the male generation that the father spawned leaving Izumo to take on the role as a shrine maiden dancing and performing till eventually she was sent to Kyoto to practice. Every time she danced she wore a gorgeous Kanzashi amongst her hair which upon her death was the vessel of her spirit for later generations who would be capable of awakening it. Over all through her years performing she tried to find the misfits and outcasts of society and draw them in to help her in the performances. Every passing day her popularity grew greater and greater as her skits and dances began to have humorous innuendos and portrayals of potential real life situation in that time period.

OverburstColor: Scarlet
Overburst Power:<<Stardust>> This overburst is quite simple anyone who is in the blast radius of her attack is temporarily blinded for a turn.

With handful of glitter that usually is hidden in the fold of her apparel and the Kanzashi in her hair anyone in a 5 foot radius of her is subject to being affected by this technique. Once hit they are no longer dazed. Maiha essentially is performing her usual dance when a scarlet aura begins to glimmer about her and then a burst of light shocking the crowd about her.
Support: Blood Father - Aoi Yamauchi was a farmer on the rice fields that were governed by the Kono family. Proud and loyal to this clan, Aoi humbly parted with his daughter when the Kono Clan leader approached her after a festival. Compensating them for parting with their beloved daughter with honor and valuable trinkets.
Blood Mother - Itsuko Yamauchi was the wife of a rice farmer who gave birth to a beautiful brown haired baby girl. Itsuko taught her daughter everything she knew. Manners, art, dance and even lessons in acting till she was surpassed by her dear daughter.
Kono Clan Leader/Sponsor - Katsurou Kono a great and powerful leader to the Kono Clan who has ruled for the past fifty years. Now a grandpa and father two numerous offspring who would continue on the Kono blood line. Katsurou was a wise and gentle ruler who enjoyed the arts. One year before the winter solstice he visited the Ochio District. Among the festivities was a girl, a cherry blossom as he called her that danced through the air with ease even at the young age of seven.
Teacher - Matsuko Kai teacher and mentor of Maiha since she was taken in by the Kono family. Matsuko taught the girl how to draw, calligraphy, and dressed her in the finest outfits for her performances that she did for Katsurou who quite enjoyed watching her float about.
History: Maiha Yamauchi. Born in the Ochio District to a lovely couple, Aoi and Itsuko Yamauchi. Itsuko gave birth to this beautiful baby girl at the age of twenty seven. Aoi Yamauchi was twenty nine when he brought his wife back from the Ochio District hospital. Maiha was quite the ordinary child being born 6.8 lbs. The first few months were quite difficult on them as Aoi had great difficulties through the constant wailing of their dear beloved Maiha who hooted and hollered through the midnight hours. The constant infantile wails influenced his working in the fields and actually caused a nearly career ending blow. Working with the plow he nearly made himself stump the no toed father, luckily he managed to merely raise it. While he worked sluggishly upon the rice fields his wife Itsuko nursed beloved Maiha. As the first three months passed them by Maiha’s sleeping schedule finally began to overlap with that of her parents. This change in schedule also seemed to silence her constant complaining as her once tears of sorrow changed to giggles of joy. The following years of her infancy were quite bearable as her parents have told her since. A beautiful daughter that almost any family would wish to be blessed with.
As time progressed so did the development of Maiha. Entering the early memories of her childhood Maiha had already began to change drastically from birth the once dark brown hair began showing pigment changes to the auburn locks she flaunts today. Itsuko began Maiha’s chores and in a sense training at an early age. Just on the brink of recalling past days, Maiha was given lessons of, manners, cleaning, singing, and dancing. Once an a while she was given a break to play with the other field workers children enjoying her life as most any girl would. For all intents and purposes the Yamauchi house was a pleasant one to live in. Along with these accomplishments of Maiha was an additional mouth to feed. Maiha’s brother forced her to take upon studying the concepts her mother taught her on her own. Weeks progressed to months and months to years. By the second year her brother was well on his way to surpassing her records that she put in place, but she had also became a talented dancer who would perform for her father and his fellow workers once dusk fell on the fields. Rumors and gossip spread through the Oichi district about the angel of dance when the Kono Clan Leader heard of such a talented individual from gossip between a few of his servants.
During the winter solstice festival, Katsurou Kono took it upon him to follow up on the most recent gossip.A diamond in the rough of performers, some saying this seven year old girl could make history if she played her cards right. Among the cool night air the Ochio district had set up a humble stage for the usual festivities completely unaware by this honorable visit of the Kono leader as he dressed down attempting to remain inconspicuous. A successful plan as he managed to sit among the crowds with great glee watching the play that Maiha was starring in. She played the part of the moon spirit dancing about the stage and singing a gorgeous solo as far as seven year-old vocal performances went. Astounded by her dancing and singing talent she approached the young girl while her parents watched from the back row seeing their child approached. As the reached her and the man they both looked at him wondering what his purpose was. It was a simple manner quite honestly while they were alone he congratulated the girl on a well done performance and was making her an offer as he explained everything was quite hush hush but he was the kono leader. Maiha completely ignorant of this bluntly stated “Kono-chan wants to sponsor me in the clan house.” Her lack of understanding the fullness of the language was quite cute to some.Katsurou was especially amused by her comment, a jolly laughter resonated through the cool winter air thanked to Maiha’s innocent nature. The next few hours her parents were faced with an offer they couldn’t resist, both for theirs and Maiha’s sake as they were well compensated and Maiha had the chance to branch forth from the Oichi District. Inviting Katsurou back to their home they treated him to their best tea and meal that Itsuko prepared them. By the end of the night he left with Maiha in hand, her parents pleased that they were able to still meet with her as regularly as they wished, given downtime in their work.
The Kono Clan manner was quite a spectacle to be seen particularly for a girl who lived in a house that was at best one sixteenth the size. It had it’s own spring and many rooms that were assigned to the various members of the families and now Maiha as well. Katsurou in all his genius also brought in an instructor for the girl to keep up her lessons. Matsuko Kai. A brilliant actor who jumped at the chance to have a pupil to pass on all her greater knowledge on the dramas. Maiha ate with the kono clan family but slept in her own room quite happily as it was warm and fitted with a comfortable sleeping mat. Throughout her time at the Kono she was privately taught by Matsuko in as many subjects as she deemed fit. Maiha proving quite the star student as she mastered the roles that she was to act out and graced both her audience with eye and ear candy. Eventually though this training only could take her so far and Katsurou set her up as a student at the Osaka School. However, before Katsurou sent her out toward the school with an heirloom that activated shortly after receiving the Kanzashi of Izumo no Okuni. The activation was of no surprise to Katsurou as he suspected that she would be a viable candidate for it.
