I'VE COME TO BURN YOUR KINGDOM DOWN
Personality:
Tsura is not an outspoken character, that could easily overshadowed by a more straight-forward or leader-like character. That is how she prefers it, since it’s easier to move about and for someone else to take the fall if it doesn‘t work out. Tsura considers herself a shadow as it’s always present yet not noticed. She prefers to remain quiet to the point most people upon meeting may believe she’s mute as Tsura prefers using gestures. This quietness is also disabling as it made both people and herself think she’s a recluse.
Tsura is fairly superstitious. She refuses to trample or desecrate sacred ground and will clean any kind of mars left on these grounds. Also she becomes cautious around dangerous ’superstitions’, which at times can be more disadvantageous. Daily Tsura will consult her tarot cards for the outcome of the day that--depending on the fortune--can have her paranoid or careless (if the fortune is exceptionally bad or good respectively). Her fortunes are nearly 100% accurate with some exceptions. It isn’t a power more so than a good ability to read people, keeping up on events as well as a great sense of intuition. She also tends to go to her cards in times of trouble or distress. Disrespect towards her ’hobby’ sparks apathy towards the offender.
Despite her frail and shy demeanor, Tsura is extremely prideful. It doesn’t extend to the point where she won’t take a person’s hand when she’s down. However, she will not allow anyone interfere with a fight that is ‘hers’ nor let them look on down on her because of something about her (i.e: pitying, her background). When it comes to a question of honor on her or anyone she deems trustworthy (or anyone she cares about in general), it is the only time her anger will flare with a vengeance.
She possess an above average intelligence but is not on par with super geniuses. This is how she designs her own weapon. She is also a descent tactician but not sure how to devise plans with large numbers. Though she isn’t one to jump to a fight, Tsura will not remain passive when she is aware she’s targeted for a fight. Her fighting style is a combination of stealthy and long-range so if she is thrust into a close range or unable to create an advantage, Tsura would lose.

History:
Tsura learned from a young age, how cruel people could be. She was descended from Romani and though her family weren’t strongly practicing in to the arts their people are known for, they faced antagonization. At first she acted hostile towards everyone that treated her like a stigma, until her grandmother taught her to release anger through fortune-telling. Her grandmother instilled the teachings of advocates of peace, which Tsura will occasionally quote to quell her anger, as well as to use tarot cards. Despite how harsh the outside that knew her lineage was, Tsura’s family and small, obscure number of friends managed to give her a small bit of happiness.
This was until her house was put on fire by a mysterious arsonist. It occurred when her father was away on work and her mother had gone to the grocers. Tsura herself was outside the house, making something to cheer her sick grandmother up. However when seeing a pillar of smoke, she returned to the blazes. Desperate, she tried to go in and save her grandmother and found the old woman pinned under rubble. Futilely, she tried to remove the debris when her grandmother stopped her. She was given a hairpin and whispered something to her.
With the arson not found, Tsura’s father was concerned for his family’s safety and moved eastward--supposedly away from all the dangers. It was then when her father started teaching Tsura how to defend herself whenever he wasn’t away on work. She never knew what he did but her father always told her he hoped she never got into his profession. On one excursion, Tsura noticed it took her father longer than usual to return. As if to answer her questions, she answers the door to a man of Chinese descent claiming to be her father’s friend. He bares the news that her father was killed while on work and apologizes for their loss. He offers his assistance but Tsura’s mother yells at him to get out. He leaves but not before giving his card to Tsura in case.
Tsura’s mother seemed to suffer a mental breakdown afterwards, in tears all the time and raving madly at the air. The instability lead to her mother to try to kill both of them. In the struggle, Tsura suffered a stab wound to the shoulder/arm and she ended up killing her mother in self-defense. Left with nothing, Tsura turns to her father’s friend, who introduces himself as Jianyu. He explains how he and Tsura’s dad were partners, a hitman duo. Jianyu also informed how her father was the ’brains’, using information they managed to ’obtain’ for their benefit and that he always knew how to ’play his cards right’. The man tells her that it was his fault for the hit that killed her father, as Jianyu took it despite her father’s protests. He expresses his desire to make amends by raising Tsura, his partner’s only joy.
Tsura counters that she wants to learn how to be a hitman so she can find and kill the person that tore the only life she knew to pieces. Reluctant because of the fate of his friend, Jianyu makes a compromise: Tsura attend normal school and he taught her how to fight. She spent years moving from town to town and training with her weapon and flame. Finally, she moves to Namimori where Jianyu tells her she would either fulfill her revenge or find another reason for living…But what do his words mean?

OOPSIE!
Her powers need to be in a separate post...and you messed up some of the coding as well please fix that. How were her cards modified with technology they are just cards...? And cards aren't exactly easy to do that too so either explain it or pick another weapon please.

[/style][style=background-color: #1e1e1e;][style=position: relative; top: -20px; left: 5px; color: #d5d5d5; font-size: 16px; font-family: autumn;]SEVEN DEVILS ALL AROUND YOU [atrb=style, border-bottom: 3px solid #554368; width: 200px;] Hitman Ability:
Kamaitachi: Tsura puts her flame into her weapon so that if flames are used against her, the storm flames devour it and make the weapon faster. It can become faster to the point it’s ‘invisible’, like the weasels the ability is named after. However, this requires a great deal of stamina that Tsura does not possess--making using it to full potential limited--and increases her chances of hitting herself until she’s properly trained.
Jiujie Bian (Chain Whip)/Ji Zhua Lian (Chicken-claw Sickle): Tsura’s weapon of choice is a ranged one that keeps her opponent out of her weak zone, closed-quarters. It made with black metal, making it difficult for both opponents and herself to see in the dark. The handle of the whip looks like sword handle on backwards with a spear-like head on the back. This handle can be detached to be a small sickle, in case someone does manage to come in close range. Her skill with the sickle is average at best.
Main Flame: Storm Ring(s): N/A Box Animal/Weapon: Her father possessed a storm box however he was unable to give it and his storm ring to Tsura. He also did not explain what it is to Jianyu, who gave it Tsura as a momento from her dad. Currently, she keeps it as a ‘charm’ on her belt for luck.
Durriken: Is Tsura’s box animal. It takes the form of a black salamander. There are light red spots all over its body that are ignited with storm flames. It also has storm flames surrounding the tip of its tail.
Portatore di Sventura: Is the box weapon that is a two handed gun that uses dying will flame as its ammo. It is powerful in blows but requires strength to use it effectively in battle.
Choxani: The second form of the Portatore di Sventura, that was well-known in her father’s hands. It is a hybrid of a scythe and gun. Her father used it as a melee weapon and only used the gun for fleeing targets. However, Tsura--whenever she figures out how to form Choxani--would use it to work with both her style and size.
