Kohinata Tsubasa [Amaterasu's Associate]

Name: Kohinata Tsubasa

Alias: Tsurugi (The Sword)

Voice Sample: Nana Mizuki (Female, Blue Hair)

Gender: Female

Age: 1501

Reiatsu Color: Royal Blue

Reiatsu Aura: Devotion

Faction: Rukongai Citizen

Job: "Sword" of the Ayakashi Clan & Amaterasu

Appearance: Tsubasa was trained with a slender build, having the appearance of looking much quicker and fragile than her strength would imply. Garbed with traditional Japanese clothing, she focuses a lot of her style into wearing large kimono coats over her usual style of clothing, often in the colors blue and grey. However, underneath is another story. With slimmer and tighter clothing, she appears to wear what can easily be described as a battle attire, with a sleeveless west and shorts, akin to a female kunochi. This allows for quicker movements during battles, as her swordplay relies a lot on dodging and deflecting hits with her blade. On the side of her outwards coat, she hangs a sword from the side of her sash, the hilt decorated in blue.

Her height stands at about 170 centimeters and her weight is set around 63 kilos. Her hair is long and dyed in a royal shade of blue, and her eyes matches it with a similar hue. Often times, she'll set a part of it into a single standing wing-tail, hanging from the left side of head.

Personality: Kohinata Tsubasa, or Tsurugi as she prefers to be called, is a devoted guardian of Ayakashi Amaterasu. Years ago, during her young years, Tsubasa found herself saved from a pair of rampant hollows by the presence of Amaterasu. As gratitude had filled her heart, she found herself devoted to follow the two, and from then, change her personality and body into one fit for serving them.

Tsubasa never actually had a purpose before that day. And her personality and interests never stood out from before. Having lived under the Ayakashi's for a while though, she found herself interested in the art of swordplay, and from it, has gained a large amount of skill training under it. She's also found a rather interesting hobby in tending to flowers and expressing herself via vocals and songs during her free time, and she thoroughly enjoys helping Amaterasu tend to the winery. She also has an interest in animals, as her youth was mostly centered around living with stray cats and birds, and as such, her gratitude and affection towards the creatures are still present as one of her main traits.

Things Tsubasa dislike however, are the ones pestering the land around her. Be it thieves or hollows, she's found a distinct dislike for both of them, and would gladly fight them off in a battle, if her mistress would allow her to do so. Disobeying the word of the people who saved her would leave a big wound on her pride. You could pretty much say that Tsubasa has wrapped her being around Amaterasu, and in extension, the Ayakashi clan as a whole. The memory of being saved. The feelings of gratitude. The devotion one would give to their hero. Amaterasu means a great deal to Tsubasa, and it's because of that very reason that she dubbed herself Tsurugi(Sword), the protector of both Amaterasu and the Ayakashi Clan.

History:

• 500 NW - Tsubasa was born, in the midst of chaos where the Rukons seperated from the Shinigamis.
• 510 NW - In the midst of a minor chaotic event, involving a few rough hollows, Tsubasa found herself seperated from her mother and father. They were presumed dead, and as such, the small girl was made an orphan.
• 510 NW - 1000 NW - The girl known as Tsubasa fights her way through life, often stealing and hiding in order to get by. During the time, she grew into a young woman, and picked up a few skills of survival by living with animals and fighting for her life.
• 1000 NW - Tsubasa has a run in with a few hollows, and upon being trapped, she found herself saved by the appearance of Ayakashi Amaterasu. After hearing how long Tsubasa had survived on her own and comparing it to her lack of fighting skills, the older female took her into her household and decided to train her.
• 1000 - 2001 - Living a fairly non-complex life, Tsubasa adopted the alias Tsurugi under the training of both Amaterasu and her mate, Shiranui. As she learned to fight with a Katana, she had found a purpose for living. To protect and serve the family with her devotion, as a thank you for taking her in and saving her life. She adapted to the ways of the family, and in the end, she became the personal guardian of both Amaterasu, and the family as a whole.
• 2001 NW - Current Time - Tsubasa lives on as the Sword of the Ayakashi Clan.

Kohinata Tsubasa never had an easy life. From birth, her life was chaos, as she was born at the start of the fued revolving around the Rukon Citizens and the Shinigamis. From there, things would get increasingly worse. After losing her parents, she resolved to living in the wild as an orphan, fighting her way through life by theft and by hiding during the night. It was not the right thing to do, but it was the only thing she could do. It all worked out, until a fateful night where hollows had broken through and into the Third District of Rukongai. At the time, Ayakashi Amaterasu appeared and saved her life. If not for her, Tsubasa's life would have ended that night. But instead, it proved to be a turning point. After hearing the story Tsubasa had to say, Amaterasu had a sliver of kindness to spare, as the two of them headed back to the Ayakashi estate. There, Tsubasa would live as one of them, and train in the arts of defending herself, while also growing as a person. As her skills increased, be it in fighting or handling business for the family, Tsubasa resolved to become a servant for the Ayakashi's, dubbing herself as a sword to be used by them, fighting for them with a heart filled with devotion.

Free Skill: Vocal control - Simply put, Tsubasa can control her voice in a lot of different ways, even being able to imitate several people with enough practice. After years of singing, she found herself not only being able to imitate people like Amaterasu or other females of the Ayakashi household, but imitating people in general. It takes a few conversations with a person in order to fully grasp it, but given enough time, she could actually replicate most people's voices, like a male's voice or just the sound of an animal. While she can enter the range of a person, she can't actually replicate their speaking patterns, and in order to do that, she would need to spend a lot more time with the person in order to fully mimic them.

Abilities

Soul Bind

Object: A Katana

A simple Katana that was given to Tsubasa by Amaterasu, as a gift for passing the training given to her. With a hilt dressed in the colors blue, white and black, the blade length reaches to about 73 centimeters in length, the actual hilt adding around 25 centimeters, making the entire length of the katana 98 centimeters long. As the hilt is much longer than a normal Katana's hilt would be, it functions much as a double-ended blade. While the sharp end is on one side of the blade, the blunt and longer one on the hilt functions much as a baton would, being able to cause injuries that wouldn't cut the person, as much as it would potentially break their bones, or at the very least, cause a bruise, all depending on how the user would wield it, as well as the level of strength they would display.
