Nadeshiko Kakyoku
« Passons, passons... » Une voix douce pouvait être entendue en signant doucement, avec le son d'un violon joué. Nadeshiko, les yeux à moitié fermés, son mouvement doux et gracieux. "Où mène ce chemin étroit?"
Presque comme si délibérément cue, quand soudain l'étrange femme à capuche attendait presque devant elle juste après la deuxième ligne de la chanson. S'élançant vers le bas à la carte, Shiko a lentement mis sa main dessus, avant de la ramasser. En comptant jusqu'à cinq, elle retourne rapidement la carte. "La Tempérance..." En regardant la carte avec surprise, elle tourne son regard vers la femme à capuche. Au moins, elle avait essayé. Ce qui était autrefois la mystérieuse dame, n'était plus qu'un espace vide, comme si ce n'était qu'un rêve. Cependant, Shiko savait que ce n'était pas un rêve. Après tout, elle pouvait encore sentir l'air légèrement brossé devant elle, la douceur de la carte tenue dans sa main, et le poids du violon dans son autre.
Une fois de plus, en tournant les yeux vers la carte, la fille sourit amèrement. "Tempérance... une carte très appropriée, semble-t-il." Avec un soupir, elle a empoché la carte, et a quitté son siège.
Name: Nadeshiko Kakyoku
Age: 15
School Year: Third Year Junior High(or is it First Year Highschool?)
Height: 5’ 3
Weight: 47kg
Magic Color: White
Normal Appearance: If not in a school uniform, Shiko would usually wear a simple sundress, her dainty body and light frame causing many to follow from a distance, as if afraid of breaking her the moment they touch her. While still a junior high student, her body has hints of a womanly charm, evident if you ever grabbed the budding fle*writer is knocked out*, attracting love interests from both genders oddly enough. When in uniform or a more formal dress, she exudes an aura of a high-class lady, yet with the same calming feel around her.
Transformed Appearance
Personality: Quiet, calm, and serene pretty much sums up Shiko rather nicely. However, calm and quiet, does not mean she will shy away from others. Quite the opposite, as many seem to be drawn towards her. Her oujo-sama like behavior, along with her smooth actions has caused quite a large number of fans to surround her within her school, of either gender.
Many would tell you that Shiko is rather reliable, seemingly older than she appears due to her mannerism and thoughts, withholding from picking any sides, and in generally settling down anyone in the surroundings. But, those close to her will tell you that she walks on a precarious line between two edges.
Despite not being influenced by emotions too much, it doesn't mean she denies her emotions. Rather, she treats everything in moderation. A little bit of everything, so to speak.
It is only a rumor, but it seems that Shiko swings both ways.
Background: Born in a wealthy but somewhat old style family, Nadeshiko. However, she was brought up with the expectations to be the catalyst of peace between two family-run businesses, by being married in with the boy of the other family. Otherwise, her life was pretty normal. In school, Shiko was both bright and popular, garnering attention from most of the boys and quite a number of girls as well, while keeping a smiling face at her arranged fiancé's words of claiming she was his.
Just about any arguments that occurred, or fights that broke out, would be calmed down easily with gentle yet understanding words. This was probably the main reason behind why she was voted to be on the student council, although she barely manage to lower it to vice-president.
Powers
Card: XIV – Temperence Her powers is extremely varied and versatile, but have the same common point of counters and balancing.
Perfect Counterbalance: Any MATERIAL/PHYSICAL type only attacks will be perfectly countered by the direct opposite of attack. I've shard thrown at her will be countered by flames, earth will be countered through disappearance of kinetic energy. Basically, any attack that could physically hit, is blocked. However, this does not work on attacks she has not noticed, nor does it work on more supernatural type powers(mental/immaterial) Ambushes/sneak attacks are the perfect counters for this power. Another problem is that this is unable to harm anyone. All it does really, is nullify an attack.
Wings of Liberty/Chains of Oppression: This is technically a two part power. While the actual useful portion is the Wings of Liberty, that can not be done without first utilizing Chains of Oppression. Think of it similar to recharging. Forming white wings around Shiko, they allow her to fly, or protect herself by wrapping herself with them, or fire white feathers from them. Meanwhile, the chains are....problematic. They cause manacles and chains to shackle her tightly. However, while heavy, the chains are capable of taking an absurd amount of damage. So while she can't break them, she can use them to block.
The amount of time she stays in Chains, is the amount of time she can use her wings. Using her wings past that, would forcefully put her into Chains for double the overtime, and without the ability to cancel it before the time's up. While troublesome, she can 'stock up' on usage.
Cycled Recovery: A painful yet viable method of 'healing'. However, instead of actually healing, all it does is move the location of the injury. Whether from one part of the body to another, or from one person to another willing person. This does not affect unwilling people however, which prevents it from being an offensive power.
Reverse Fall: The main method of attacking, except yet again with its bothersome conditions. It creates a rifle with an intricate bayonet attached to it, however the sharpness of the blade and the power behind each bullet is dictated by how lethal the last attack that was sent her way was. By itself, the blade can barely cut butter, and the gun no more dangerous than an airsoft rifle.
Skills: Musical based, especially singing, dancing, and playing the violin.
Weapons: Asides from Reverse Fall, Shiko does not have any weapons(excluding her clipboard/pen)
Equipment: As a vice-president, Shiko carries around a clipboard and pen constantly, alongside usual student carry-on like cellphones, etc.
