Name: Nijo Maja
Age: Nijo Maja is 19 years of age, with her birthday being on June 23rd.
Gender: Female
Animal Form: The animal form that Nijo assumes is the Tanuki, but doesn't typically show her animal out to the world like other witches do with hats or similar attire.
Weapon: She has no real weapon partner as of yet, but does however rely on ninja like weapons, or lightweight and concealable melee in general at her disposal.
Appearance: Nijo can be described as quite slender in appearance, which is actually fairly good since it works well alongside her "profession." Her face is usually covered by a black mask of some sort akin to that of ninja's along with a dark gray scarf that hides her mouth and neck. She usually wears a black mask regardless of anything else she's wearing, only taking it off occasionally if it's too hot or to properly speak to others. Nijo overall looks somewhat normal despite the mask, except for her face which bears brown faded tanuki stripes due to something she had attempted about two years ago. Another notable feature would be a marking on each of her palms, each one a variation of the pentagram. The right hand bears a proper pentagram, which is typically used for more calmer and tame types of magic, while the other has an inverted variation, which is typically used for more destructive and...for loss of a proper word, "eviler" magic, if that makes sense.
Personality: She can be seen as actually quite quiet and reserved, not exactly shy although hesitant to speak...but this is more because she just chooses to be silent, often adopting the nature of being a mute even though she is not technically one herself. The reason could be because she has poor English speaking skills, as she is mostly capable of understanding it, but her actually speaking it is rather sub par at best. Nijo is also typically hesitant to going outside in any shape and form...or at least in public where there may be any crowds of people, as she prefers to try and make new spells for herself...so basically she's a shut in, and lacks any sort of actual formal education. However through of studying of magic she does somewhat wonder of why the world runs the way it does, and what role magic does play, if any in the actual world. The last thing I would like to note, as that she takes her "profession" quite seriously.
Likes: Rewriting skills, dogs, racoons, tanukis, studying, meditating.
Dislikes: Disorganization, sloppiness, failing, being teased for her poor english skills.
History: Nijo actually hails from a unique place in Japan, she used to live in a lone small village at the foot of Mount Fuji. Overall the people of said village were poor, perhaps with maybe one or two actually having exceptional wealth compared to others from selling crops or similar things. Nijo's family however wasn't one of those people, and only were able to get enough money for the basic things, clothes when they needed it and food, with ever so occasionally getting enough food for seconds...but that was a treat. Her family worked very hard to provide, but Nijo without formal education and only basic reading to writing skills had a lot of spare time. In this spare time after being inspired from numerous stories of ninjas and magic from the elders she tried to develope a unique art of her own! One that was heavily inspired from ninjutsu, as well as magic. But to her great dismay...she was not a witch(as far as she knew at this point). But that didn't stop her from making a spell of her own nevertheless, based around the very Tanuki legend, one she heard many stories about. Also taking mention from pentagrams and their significance in magic she drew one on the floor and recited the spell.
This action however led to odd results. Because of said action she did indeed find out that she was a witch(her family bloodline contained that of witches that was rather recessive, and was considered a taboo in her family). However she had no idea what spell she actually casted, and it yielded undesirable results to say the least. Her hands now bore that of the pentagram practically inscribed in her hand, unremovable as well. One bore the normal pentagram and the other an inverted. The spell also caused her hace to have faded Tanuki like stripes running through her face. Oddly enough despite said changes, Nijo was rather happy to know she was a witch to care. Using her very own customized arts she became the town theif, seemingly studying by day and robbing in black at night. Because of the complexity of her art, she was never caught, and many of the things stolen were just seen as missing. However things would eventually lead back to her, considering she was the only suspect in such a small village. Her parents were heartbroken, and to find out soon after that their daughter has practiced magic only crushed them more. She was banished for bringing shame on the family...and this didn't affect her that much really. If anything she saw the family as a hinderence in her "training" and left to the Americas right away. With only her magic, ambitions, and the clothes on her back, she set off, making money through odd jobs or by occasionally thieving like she once done. At this point she has now earned somewhat a name for herself on the streets, and sometime is offered jobs more suited for her capabilities. But regardlessd, she is still focusing on training herself.
Spells:
Basic Shapeshifting(Learned)-She can change her shape and form for about 1-3 posts, similar to the mythical stories of the Tanuki.
Poison Hold(Learned)-Combining her magic into her custom art she is able to temporarily knock out a person through contact, or temporarily poison them.
Building Destruction(Not Learned)-She can set up and place explosive magic bombs of sorts with magic.
Healing Allies(Touchy)-She can heal others somewhat.
Giving Strength-She can transfer her energy to others(energy not magic)
(May add on)
Other: She constantly moves place to place to avoid suspicion.
Whatever the mystic Tanuki can do in legend, she can mimic. Due to the pentagrams she rarely resides her mantra as the pentagrams allow her to bypass this, but when she does it's barely audible for those to hear.
