Kurono In'ei

CHARACTER

Name:
Kurono In’ei
Age:
17
Gender:
Female
Symbol:
TBA
Occupation:
Project 7 Operative
Appearance:
Kurono measures 5’7” and has a slim build. She has short, light brown hair that is braided on the front left down towards her ear. She has deep purple eyes and wears a black, short sleeved shirt. She has maroon jeans and black combat boots. She looks like a very normal teenage girl save for the katana that she wears on her back, the hilt of the blade pointing up over her right shoulder.
History:
Kurono was born into a well-known family in Vale. Her family was fairly rich, owning their own trading company. Her family was also known for having produced some Hunters and Huntresses of incredible skill. Vale’s government, having recognized her potential at a young age, took her out of combat school at the age of 9, after only a year of pre-Signal schooling. Her family was told that she had gone on a school field trip and fallen off the boat on the way there. Being in the middle of the ocean, there was no hope of recovering her or her body.

She was actually brought into a secret government program codenamed “Project 7”. The members of Project 7 were all children that showed incredible promise in combat school at a young age. These children, ripped from their families and thrown into a life of constant training and preparation. They work for the Vale authorities, doing whatever missions they are assigned, typically capturing or killing wanted criminals or HVTs. The training that these children went through was rigorous and difficult, and it was not uncommon for some to die due to exhaustion or injury. Kurono, however, survived until age 16, the age that most Project 7 members began to receive missions and leave the facility, located in an undisclosed location outside of Vale. She received her first mission, to locate and, if possible, detain a dangerous criminal now loose in Vale. She succeeded in capturing the criminal, and after a few more missions, became well known within Project 7 for her skill at capturing targets alive.
Personality:
Kurono is a stoic. She shows very little emotion in the scant conversation that she has with others, and does almost nothing if it does not help her accomplish her objective. She believes in what she is doing, and will complete her mission no matter what it takes.
Strength:
Kurono was trained very well by Project 7, and as a result is very skilled with her weapon. The rigorous physical training didn’t do much for her strength, but she is fast and agile. She is mentally hardened by her training, and it takes a lot to crack her.
Weakness:
She doesn’t have as much physical strength as one would expect, and is completely inept at social interaction due to isolation as a child. This leads to her being in awkward situations when talking to people.
Semblance:
Kurono is able to use her aura to manipulate the shadow cast by her body. She can move her shadow and make it solid, as well as join it with the shadows of other objects or people to enhance the strength of the shadow. When the shadow is made solid, she is able to lift it off the ground. The shadow becomes hard yet flexible, allowing her to shape it into whatever she can think of.
WEAPON

Name:
Dokutō
Primary Form:
Kurono’s blade is a longer-than-average katana that she wears in a sheath on her back. The blade has tiny ducts along the edge and point. The hilt contains a chamber, within which there are two vials containing two kinds of poison. One is a paralyzer, and the other is deadly if it enters the bloodstream. There is a small switch on the hilt that Kurono can flip with her thumb, changing the poison that is distributed throughout the blade.
History:
Project 7 has many different weapons at their disposal, and Kurono had this one custom made to fit her needs. She is the go-to agent for capturing targets alive, and so she needed a weapon that reflected that ability.
