Casual Clothing/appearance: Shizuno is a shapely girl, to say the least. All the curves in all the best places. Her skin is quite smooth and lightly tanned, like anyone of Japanese descent. She smells perpetually of cherry trees, as she likes to bathe with that sweet scent. She keeps her long hair well brushed, and takes an almost inordinate amount of time grooming it. It is by far her greatest asset, in her mind. She keeps herself physically fit, despite not being a physical person.
While not liking the school uniform, she does follow the rules. Outside of that it is usually skirts, of any kind. Blouses are a HUGE part of her attire, though anything that might make her look more appealing works.
Combat Clothing/appearance: Oddly she doesn't have anything specific, and will usually just wear her school uniform.
Inventory/accessories: Phone, purse, family ring.
Personality: Shizuno is very much the "star." She enjoys being the center of attention and generally commands a lot of it. However, she doesn't get angry if she's not. A bit jealous yes, but not overtly hostile. Mostly she just likes being surrounded by people. She does not enjoy being alone very often, save for reading her novels or when she needs to study. In the latter regard, she hits the textbooks hard. Work hard, play hard. At least that's what she's always been told.
She's always been a go-getter, and is extremely stubborn when she puts her mind to it. She doesn't like ever being told no, and will always try to find a way to achieve what she wants. While she does play by the rules, and is outwardly nice....she is actually quite a saddist. She delights in playing with people and in combat she'd be more than happy to just damage someone to cause them pain.
Likes: Read, write, different ceremonies, large crowds, music
Dislikes: Rowdy/rude people, silence for too long, Mori clan, those who believe they are better solely because they were born into a clan.
Ambitions/Goals: Become head of the Clan
Habits/Mannerisms: She will usually cover her mouth when she giggles
Strengths:
- Spirit: Shizuno is not a warrior, nor is her ancestor. However, her ability to pull out the strength from her sacred item seems nearly unlimited. Turning her into a sort of "arcane artillery."
- Social Etiquette: Shizuno has been groomed since birth with all the social graces and understanding someone in a Clan should have. More so, for someone that is the heir-apparent.
- Social Butterfly: Shizuno excels in being with other people. Normally she prefers to be the center of attention, but...just being with people is her biggest love. As such she is actually quite empathic, and understands people and their emotions. She easily relates to people, even commoners and does not allow rank, title, or position to actually make a difference in how she treats people.
- Saddist: Behind the mask of grace, lies the heart of someone who truly enjoys bringing pain to people. Nominally this is buried and hidden, and doesn't come out in social situations. In combat however, she thoroughly enjoys doing as much pain as possible before ending a fight. She often even smiles and makes “scary” or “lewd” comments about what she is doing to them.
- Punctual: Normally not a weakness, but for Shizuno she actually gets extremely mad when people do not show up on time. Even showing up too early can cause her to get visibly agitated.
- Lazy Studies: Shizuno would rather have fun, or be with people than do any of her studies. While she has improved since getting into the Edo Bugei, she will frequently end up doing last minute homework.

Original Owner: Amako, Yoshihisa
Clan: Amako
History: Yoshihisa was the second son of Amako Haruhisa and succeeded his father in 1562. He attempted to resist the growing power of the Môri but was unable to expel the latter when they began an invasion of Izumo in 1563. He lost Shiga castle but managed to hold off an initial assault on Gassan-Toda in 1564. The Môri besieged Gassan-Toda in 1565. Yoshihisa lost the confidence of his men when he executed one of his chief retainers, Uyama Hisanobu, on erroneous charges of treason. Faced with starvation, Yoshihisa surrendered in the 1st month of 1566 and was placed under confinement in Aki province with his younger brothers (Tomohisa and Hidehisa) for the following 16 years. He was eventually allowed an income of some 570 koku and moved to Nagato province, where his income was increased to around 1,300 koku. He at length became a monk and died at the age of 74.
Sacred Item: A small ruby, with a gold cube around it. Shizuno has attached it to a black choker she wears.
Activate Ability 1: Bind
Description: Chains shoot out from the ground near the target, wrapping around their legs and holding them in place. It doesn't stop upper body movement, just restricts their ability to use their legs to move or dodge.
Write! The chains of hell release no dead.
Activate Ability 2: Pyroclasm
Description: Shizuno calls forth a rolling fireball that streaks across the space towards a single target. Once contact is made, it detonates creating a small area of effect. While the blasts is bright the initial impact is far more devestating, though it can still light things on fire.
Write! There exists purgatory in netherworld and fields of fire in corporeal world.
Fire discriminates not against good and evil as it burns and purifies with ferocious mercy.
All must die and return to bone.
Be you of this world or of the enlightened.
This body, less hospitable than my home turned to black dirt.
Endless despair as far as the eye can see.

Activate Ability 3: Thunderstorm Helix
Description: Calling upon the mighty power of thunder and lightning, Shizuno blasts a large area with savage white lightning. Able to tear through several opponents in a small group, the power is still made a bit moot by wearing non-conductive materials. However, being wet or in water makes this power that much more effective.
Write! Dance, dance, God of Thunder, Come, thunder; Come, lightning.
None in this world live forever. Enjoy the moment and live for pleasure.
Destroy everything in the blink of an eye.
Don't be left with regrets. It is time for the killing spree.
Die, die, die, die, Purge all life, enlightenment comes easily.
Share with all this lightness, this uplift, this freedom, this joy.

Passive 1: Barrage
Description: After using one activated ability, the next activated ability has a 5% increase in potency. This does stack with the secondary passive, but is not a cumulative. After the next ability is used, the 5% increase disappears, until the process is reinitialized.
Passive 2: Write!
Description: Shizuno may use any of her abilities normally. However, if she takes some time (1 post) to power them up they gain a 15% bonus in their effectiveness. This is done by placing her finger in the air and begin to give a chant while quickly writing the chant in glowing script in front of her. A simple flick and the power is cast with it's buff in place.
OverburstColor: (The color of aura that surrounds your character when he or she uses Overburst. (Look at combat section of character guide))
Overburst Power: Ouroboros
Description: Bringing forth the power of water, the great serpent forms. The creature sails into the air and spins around. It spins around till it clasps it's tail in it's own mouth, then it begins to bubble and turn into water. The circle is 50 feet in diameter, and the water floods into the area. The shear weight and force crushes everything directly underneath it, and then floods outwards sweeping aside anything not strong enough to hold it's place. (must be written)
Write! Everything began with water.
Everything will return to water.
There for water is life and death.
The birthing mother and the swallowing snake.
Everything flows. Not even time itself can escape.
Like a boat at the mercy of a mighty river, all are swallowed in the end.
Oh, heartless nature of transience.
Yet I will love the heartlessness and transience deeply.
I have long forgotten my mother’s face.
My body will become a snake with its mouth wide open, and level everything.
Insatiable, endless emptiness.
Endless pleasure, never stagnating.
All things must flow, back into my stomach.
Everything will return to water.

Father: Amako, Yuuji
Mother: Amako, Setsuna
Sister: Amako, Akeno
History: Shizuno was born the eldest of two siblings, in the Izumo province. Daughter to the reformed Amako clan, she is the heir-apparent and as such was born into quit the life of privilege. Her life wasn't as sheltered as others, since her clan for awhile was nearly annihilated. As such she tends to act a little more down to earth than other nobles, though there is still a bit of the snobbishness there. Still she was raised well and had a rather diversified education. Shizuno tended not to apply herself fully to her studies though, instead enjoying more of just being with other people her age.
As she grew it became more and more clear that she wouldn't make the greatest heir, and in fact she didn't really care about being the heir. Not that she over-indulged, she just didn't want the responsibility that came with the station. Still she was well behaved, and did as she was asked by her parents. She did apply herself to the “finer” things in life. Namely, she enjoyed the dancing lessons she was given. Shizuno's life was grand, not easy, but grand none the less.
On her 15th birthday, she was given a present. Not exactly a gift, so much as a forced responsibility. Her father had grown displeased with her not taking being the heir, seriously...and forced on her the Clan's sacred item. He told her the responsibilities it entailed, and what it meant to the family. Shizuno...actually began to take her responsibilities much more seriously. After a year she was sent to the Edo Bugei, to begin training and studying there. Shizuno had made a choker for the item, and was a bit more studious, but not too much.
