Player's Name: teh Keme
Name: Horina "Himeko (her japanese name)" Wikaira
Age: 17
Grade: Academy junior
Birthday: 22 April
Height: 6'
Weight: 135
Gender: female
Appearance: Horina is tall, lean and lanky. She has especially toned arms and shoulders-- a pleasant side effect from years of making swords, training with swords, fighting with swords, etc. She has dark skin with many little scars scattered along her arms, chest and cheeks from the sparks created by hammering out blades. Her foxlike eyes are honey-colored and rimmed with thick, dark lashes, and they crinkle at the corners when she gives her crooked grin. Her hair is bleached to a silvery white color and is jet-black where the lower layer has grown out a bit. She has many piercings, and often incorporates chains or buckles into her wardrobe in an attempt to keep as much metal on her person as possible. Her back is covered with a traditional japanese dragon tattoo.
Personality: Horina chuckled, a crooked grin making her eyes crinkle at the corners. "If you can't beat 'em," she began, then paused. She pursed her lips to one side and rolled her eyes upwards. "Actually, I prefer to just beat them. But it's whatever. I mean, I'm willing to settle for a tie if I get sake bombs out of the deal."
History: Horina is half Maori and half Japanese. Her parents are divorced-- her father, Shannon Wikaira, lives on the coast of New Zealand and her mother, Reini Hanzo, lives on the Hanzo complex in Tohoku, Japan. Himeko spends most of her time on the family complex in Japan, though she visits her father often. Horina's grandfather, Ichisuke, brought her into the forge at a young age and she has been obsessed with the craft of Japanese weaponry ever since (her specialty is the muramasa). She was twelve when she first discovered her power-- while crafting armor plating for a Mitsuruugi exhibit and the finer details in the antlered helm just weren't working. Frustrated, Horina bashed the helmet with her fist and the metal became completely malleable, reforming around her hand and arm and coating her skin like a shingled glove. As it turns out, the Hanzo family, famed for their skill in crafting swords, had a hint of magic in their genes.
Magical Strengths/Powers: Horina can manipulate metal, willing it to take any shape she desires as long as the mass is maintained.
Magical Weaknesses/Flaws: Horina cannot create metal. When she crafts using magic she can only work with the amount she started with.
