  • I'm an early bird; I usually wake up at dawn

Abilities and Fighting Style:

• Magical Abilities:
  
  • I have the gift of prophecy, which means that I can see into the future. Usually this happens when I will it to be so, but that doesn't mean prophecies randomly come up in my mind. That I can't control. Also I can only see what's going to happen in the near future, and they always involve me for some strange reason.
    
    I have a couple spellcards:
    
    Vine Strike - Vines spring up from the ground and hold my target in place for about 5 seconds, giving me time to attack them.
    Green Glow Danmaku - Glowing flowers fly out of my hands in a wave pattern. When they hit they have the effrct of a danmaku bullet.
    
    I also have regular Green Glow, which makes any manner of plant life blossom. Finally, I have healing magic that, when used up, takes a half-hour to recharge. Healing bigger wounds takes up more of its power.
  
  
• Physical abilities:
  
  • I'm pretty good with handling a katana, since my father taught me how to use one. I'm no expert, though.
  
  
• Weapons:
  
  • One katana, discovered in a chaotic castle.
  
  
• Fighting style:
  I don't really fight unless I have to, and when I do my role is basically healer and protector, and when I am battling enemies I try to subdue rather than kill them.
  
  
• Strengths
  
  • I am not fearful
    
  • When it comes to magic I'm pretty clever
    
  • I'm good with a katana
  
  
• Weaknesses
  
  • Physically I'm not very tough, so it wouldn't be too hard to knock me out if you really tried
    
  • When I have a prophecy, rather randomly or induced, I'm incapable of fighting at that moment
    
  • I'm a bit overprotective of those I care about

History:

I was born in the Human Village. I inherited my prophecy gift from my mother, Sabra. My earliest memory is of playing in the grass with a kitten when I had my first prophecy. I forsaw myself going to school the next day and having a prophetic vision while everyone else giggled. I told my mother and she explained that she had prophecy too.

I had a fairly normal childhood, with the exception of a random vision every now and then, which had my very annoyed at one point, as I was trying to learn the right way to do certain earth elemental magicks. Despite this, I did master the two spellcards above and the Green Glow. I also took up healing magic and learned a spell in that category.

Eventually I did learn to get better control of my power, and my father Artix taught me how to use a katana in case I should need to defend myself. One of my biggest pet peeves was youkai hunts, which I could do no more than watch as I was told to stay inside the house. Eventually I decided I didn't like the confines of village life anymore, so I left for an inn. Mother didn't want me to go, but Father said I should follow my dream.

At the inn I met a mysterious girl who turned out to be the shikinami to a goddess who supposedly wanted to destroy Gensokyo. Along with three others, I set off for her castle. One of them left along the way. Inside the castle a young man joined up, but in the first battle, which was the room in which I got the katana, he vanished. We won the battle, and the girl we fought joined up with us, so we're on our way to save Gensokyo.

A bit more appropriate now that she can actually shoot stuff. Still, you might want to specify if the Green Glow bullets are sparse, dense or in between- just in case kitten is still a bit twitchy about possible exploits.

Eh, I was just going to talk to you about it in person (or as close as the internet can get), but I guess I can post here.

-Last positive trait, first negative trait and last negative trait are more quirks and habits than traits.

-We've decided that curious is NOT a negative trait.

-Second fear and first desire are pretty meh.

-As Recon said, we want more detail in abilities. I also want to talk to you about prophecy stuff, but that can and should be done over chatango PMs.

-There should also be a bullet and/or a space between each ability (since we're worrying about formatting now).

-The nature of the history is "I want my character to have these abilities, so I'm going to vaguely mention them in my past" as opposed to really being a history and explaining why stuff happened.
