Her everyday shape is that of a slender Japanese woman. She has an oval face with soft feminine features. Large eyes and youthful complexion making her seem more innocent then her years or occupation would allow. Considering her heritage she is relatively tall, five foot four, her long and slender limbs making her seem even taller. She has an athletic build, wiry corded muscles clear testaments to her active lifestyle. The second is a compact but powerful dragon, not like the ancient serpents of her homeland or the intimidating monsters of the west. Hers is a species that has adapted to living in a human run world as best they could, becoming smaller, faster, and smarter. Easily identifiable by their bright glowing markings and eyes, thick curved horns and half ray half bird wings.  the personality likes • Plants, dislikes • four plus strengths • two plus weaknesses • two plus dreams • one plus (any goals) fears • That she wont be able to protect her family overall personality • Where her brother hides behind obvious masks, Katsumi is a mostly open book with a couple of ripped out chapters here and there, unwilling to hide most of herself she uses her more abrasive atributes as a shield. "This is who I am and if you dont like it then you can go to Mugen Jigoku and burn for eternity," She has a very strong moral compass, and is unwilling to bend or flex to do things against them, which has a tendency to make her seem unbelievably headstrong and stubborn. She is exceptionally good with money and finances, generations long hoarding instincts giving her the ability to be quite the saver. With the conversion of money from mostly coin to paper and plastics though she also hoards things like plants, blue things, and small digestible metals. When angered she has quite the temper, flaring up quickly and explosively, only to cool to less visible but still dangerous coals, particularly against her loved ones. Fiercely protective she will go to any lengths to keep her family safe. She tends to be guided by her instincts, following them even when she doesn't fully understand why. Extremely confident in her abilities as both a dragon and a human she can be prone to making snap decisions without any forethought. While she has all of the aggressive and ferocious traits of your typical dragon, she also possesses the kinder aspects of her species as well. She is a doting mother, wife, and sister, placing family above all else and doing all she can to bring happiness and fortune to them. She reserves all of her tenderness for her loved ones and them alone, and she is just fine with this defensive habit. In the presence of her family she laughs easily and smiles often and very much indulges in appreciation of the little moments she is given. the abilities Special abilities • Duo- Form Shifting: Katsumi is a very rare breed of dragon that has the ability to change their shape from that of a dragon to a human, allowing them to blend in with the ever more crowded places on the earth. This ability to magically manipulate their shape is what has kept them as one of the last remaining species of Dragon. Strengths • Human Form --Physical Durability: Due to her true nature even in human form, she can sustain more damage then most mere mortals could take and still walk away. --Heightened Senses: In human form Katsumi still retains a portion of her true senses, her hearing, sense of smell, and sight are all significantly more acute then a normal humans. --Heightened Reflexes: Her reflexes are better then that of an average human. --Dragon Brain: While she has all the intelligence of a human, and is able to blend in seamlessly with society, her brain composition is still that of a dragon. This means that it has a natural defense against telepathy or other mutations that effect the human brain. --Limited Magics: Katsumi has a small amount of magical ability from being a "magical" creature. With instruction she can do small spells with only a small bit of difficulty, Dragon Form --Exponentially Increased Senses: Where her human senses are heightened, in her dragon form without any sort of glamor to inhibit her senses they can reach their full potential, increased exponentially in range and sensitivity. She also has the additional thermal sense that can be found in other creatures such as snakes. --Physical Durability: Her physical durability is also increased. Her scales, layered like shark skin, are supplemented by the additional metals in her diet. Literally making them similar to thick scale armor. This inhibits most mortal weapons from being able to do any sort of significant damage to most of her body. Her muscles and bones are also considerably more dense then most natural animals, which helps increase durability. --Strength: This muscle density also increases her strength, allowing her to not only lift her weight up and fly with considerable agility and speed, but also lift an additional 300 pounds with little difficulty. --Flight: Though her wings don't necessarily look suited to flight thanks to the similarity to a stingrays, she is able to fly. She can speeds close to seventy miles an hour in level flight, and still make surprisingly sharp turns. --Acidic Saliva: While great dragons breath fire, Katsumi's species are able to control a highly acidic component of their saliva at will. She allows activated spit to fill her mouth before literally spitting at opponents and obstacles. similar to nitric acid, she is able to dissolve even steel with her spit. --Bio-luminescence: Katsumi gets the name "Neon" From the blue glow parts of her cast off. Stripes down each side, as well as on her horns all glow. As do her eyes, nose, blood, mouth and spit. The hard, semi-flexible mace like fins also glow this same neon blue. --Dragon Brain: While she has all the intelligence of a human, and is able to blend in seamlessly with society, her brain composition is still that of a dragon. This means that it has a natural defense against telepathy or other mutations that effect the human brain. --Limited Magics: Katsumi has a small amount of magical ability from being a "magical" creature. With instruction she can do small spells with only a small bit of difficulty, Weaknesses • Human Form -- Dulled Senses: While her senses are greater then the average humans, they are still considerably more dull then in her true form. -- Dietary Requirements: In order to not only shift, but have a healthy form, Katsumi has to eat a diet high in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, but also metals. While she enjoys human cuisine on a day to day basis, in a week she also needs to consume an additional 2,000 pounds of flesh, and about half that in sturdy metals (these can be raw or processed as long as she gets them). She supplements her vitamin and mineral consumption with several times the recommended dosages for the average human female. -- Shifting "Itch": If Katsumi goes more then three days without shifting it will become an uncontrollable urge to change into her true form. These shifts tend to be more dangerous as she is in a much more instinctive and feral mental state then during a controlled shift. -- Supernatural Sensitivity: Katsumi is instinctively sensitive to other supernatural creatures, and will not only get incredibly territorial, but is more likely to shift due to instinct then actual want. She is able to "sense" the supernatural creature, though being near one makes her partially shift for a moment. Her eyes will change shape and color and her markings will all flash for a few seconds before fading. -- Stress Shifting: In incredibly stressful or emotional times, she will shift as a defensive mechanism. -- Carry Over: After a prolonged (12 hours or more) shift to her true form there is an increased risk of "carry over" where draconian behaviors and instincts are still at work in her brain. the longer the shift the more feral she becomes and she needs a sort of "detox" period, roughly one quarter of the time she spent shifted. Dragon Form -- Stronger Instincts: Due to how she shifts, when she is in her true form her brain and brain chemistry is more draconic then human. This means that draconian instincts and behaviors are stronger and harder for her to control. In an uncontrolled shift she is much more aggressive, territorial, and all around feral. -- Dragon Rage: If pushed past a certain point mentally, physically, or emotionally while in her true form, Katsumi enters a bloodlust state called the Dragon Rage. While in the rage human thought processes stop and her only instinct is to kill and destroy the threat. -- Heightened Senses: Due to the incredible sensitivity of her senses in her true form it is much easier to take advantage of them. Strong smells, loud sounds, and bright flashing lights can be easily used to confuse and discombobulate her, though if she is possessed by the Dragon Rage, her fury can drive her through the detrimental effects to a point. -- Getting "Stuck": If Katsumi spends more then a day in her true form she runs the risk of getting stuck in that form, anything more then three days will not only result in a permanent shift of her body but also her mind. Her human side would fade quickly until it is gone completely and only the dragon remained. -- Size: Her size is both a good and a bad trait. While it gives her size and power it also makes her slower then more slender creatures and prohibits her from fitting in, or out, of some spaces. Skills • Martial Arts --Hand to Hand combat: Katsumi has trained since she was able to walk in various martial arts. Her skill in Karate,Ju-jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Bajutsu and Kendo are all exceptional, as well as dabbling in a few other mixed martial arts styles. She has always had a passion for martial arts, using it to calm her more aggressive dragon side. In addition to using these skills in her human form, Katsumi has adapted her draconian fighting style to incorporate some of the same techniques, though modified for her different anatomy. --Yabusame: While not as practical as her other martial arts, Katsumi take more pride in her Yabusame achievements. Yabusame is a Japanese martial arts focused on archery while mounted on horseback. In her youth she won several national championships and enjoyed performing at various festivals and fairs. Her marksmanship is incredible, and while she isn't as skilled with a gun it has definitely helped. the history father • Kiyoshi Hatake mother • Hana Hatake siblings • Kenji Hatake important people • Kumori Uwabami (husband) Emiko Uwabami (Daughter) hometown • Kyoto, Japan overall history •
