Tsuruko Takayanagi

Name: Tsuruko Takayanagi
Title: The Elegant Warrior
Specialized: Sword and Speed.

Age: 17
Real Age: 113

Rank: 4th Seat - Squad Five

Love Intrest: Unknown

Personality: Tsuruko is a 17-year old Shinigami who is extremely honor-bound, athletic, and into kendo. She dislikes things that keep her from being able to concentrate fully on her studies and kendo practice. Still, she finds people who can be relaxed about life rather interesting and seems to wish to be like that. Though her Father dotes on her, she finds that he is rather over-protective.

Look -


Talents: At the academy she studied intensely into the art of Kendo and swordplay. Her skills with a blade would outmatch even Masataka in pure skill, if not for the lone fact of his age and wisdon. Other than her love of the sword, her life fell into books and tea ceramony, hoping to adjust to a more mature view. Still, these talents alone fall short under one other - Tsuruko can sing rather well, but she admits sadly that Shinigami don't normally have use for such thing.

Techniques:

- Hakka Soudou Sho (Eight Triagrams Double Palm Thrust): Taught by her Father. The user charges a fissure of Reiryoku through his or her palms and slams them both into the oponents chest and stomach. This should knock them back some way away and leave them feeling slighty dizzy.

- Takayanagi Goushin-Ryu: Saihyousen (Takayanagi-Style: Ice Breaker): Taught by her Father. The user charges spirit energy through the edge of the blade, where they can then slam it directly into an attacker and cause a rupture like shockwave. This move can be used together with Shinsoku. The encharged blow is strong enough to blow through stone.

- Takayanagi Goushin-Ryu: Shinsoku (Takayanagi-Style: God Speed): Taught by her Father. The user summons all their strength into the legs and arms, where they then burst forward and rapidly spear-strike the enemy with blow after blow. Tsuruko can pull off three continued blows before growing tired. This is much like Shunko, yet with a sword and it only activates while doing those blows. Strength and Speed stats increased by five points.

Relationships:

History - While her usual appearance is that of a very proper lady well versed in Japanese culture, she sometimes has the eyes of a demon and can become angry, much like her Father. She is an incredible swordswoman whom few could hope to face in raw skill, though she puts that down to the fact that her Father hardly invested time with a blade.
