Izumi Kawahiru [Approved, 5-4; Plus]

I. Basic Information

♦ Name: Izumi Kawahiru.
♦ Alias': N/A.
♦ Age: Eight hundred years old.
♦ Gender: Female.
♦ Race: Plus.

♦ Affiliation: Neutral. She holds no allegiance to the Gotei United or any group for that matter.

♦ Appearance: Izumi's figure is small. Standing around five feet and one inch this woman isn't very tall at all. There are children that stand above Izumi but do not make fun of her for her size, dare call her a child, or if you truly wish to come close to Death, a loli. Despite Izumi's size her proportions are of a well developed young woman.

She has dark brown hair which she keeps short and as a bob cut. While she tries to get around to washing it she isn't always the case. Izumi cares very little for her hair. Blessed with bed hair that doesn't look too noticeably like it's actually bed hair is a saving grace for her. The ornamentation she wears in her hair at times though makes it even neater though which hides any idea of it being a mess. Clothing-wise Izumi likes kimonos and traditional japanese attires. She can be seen in a western attire every now and again but it is not her favourite outfit to where either.

I. History

♦ 0 | Prologue [Human Life]
Izumi was born in the sixteen hundreds, around a time of strife where the Shogunate was beginning to collapse under the take over of Nobunaga and the Meijin Restoration period. Her life was short, living only to the age of eight before perishing. Growing up with her father being an artist she would listen to him speak of how ugly the world was, the final thought on her mind as she died lingered to those words of how her father just wanted to see the world beautiful again.

♦ 1 | Chapter 1 [Rukongai Life]
Waking up in a strange place Izumi had no idea of where she was, only the final thought that she had at the time of death carried over in subtle feeling. She was lucky enough to wake up in the closer districts to Seireitei. The first district to be exact. Being only a young girl on the streets she was adopted by a kind merchant family that raised her in a normal life as normal as it could in the Rukongai. She got a chance to develop her talent in art. With the resources provided to her she was able to hone her art to excellent levels. Already beginning to gain some reputation amongst the more wealthy individuals for her art and commissions.

It was only a matter of time before she was old enough to move out and that she did. She left immediately to explore the Rukongai's inner districts and circumnavigate the Seireitei walls while commissioning art for the currency to pay for this. She never let people get close to her, she was always busy lost in her own world. It didn't matter what people wanted from her, when she was busy they all didn't matter at all.

♦ 2 | Chapter 2 [Seireitei Life]
A matter of time before she would be welcomed into the Seireitei amongst the true nobility of the Soul Society. She was invited to lesser nobles estates to do portraits and artwork. She spent time learning the tricks of the trade to get more and more attention for her work. She lived off the wages easily at this point. She could charge so much from the demand she had that it all went a little to her head. Her arrogance grew but she was smart enough to respect the higher nobles. They paid more after all.

♦ 3 | Chapter 3 [Wanderer Status]
This would continue. Izumi would spend her days painting and drawing her pieces. All the while the world would continue. Everything began to pick up though, the world accerated and war began to happen. Following Ender's invasion she left the Seireitei immediately and even made her way out of the Soul Society into the World of the Living. She helped herself to whatever she pleased for a time until the world itself became spiritually aware. At that point it was simple for her to adapt. Just had to sell what you made and rinse and repeat albeit without the reputation. That didn't matter to Izumi though, she was doing what she wanted anyway. A few months into 2417 Izumi made her way back the Rukongai. Finding the increasing amount of activity in Earth irritating and deciding it would be better to risk it in the Rukongai instead of staying on Earth.

I. Equipment

♦ 1 | Over-Sized Paintbrush
It's exactly as you think it would be. A paintbrush which is almost as tall as her. She can wield it as a make-shift weapon but it's god awful to see in action. She originally used this as a means to paint on structures when she was younger but kept it for sentimentality and if she would ever need it again at some point.

I. Natural Skills

♦ 1 | Experienced Artist
Izumi is a master class artist. During her time in the Seireitei she was highly sought after by even the four great noble families of the Soul Society for art commissions. Regardless of whatever her field in combat is it goes without saying that Izumi can easily replicate artwork and draw in excellent detail. She can mimic handwriting if she has been exposed to enough of it and has a physical reference to go off.

♦ 2 | Atrocious Fighter
She has essentially zero combat experience. She has had no training. She has not even been in a fight. She has been around conflict but she has never been involved or affected by it to give her any unofficial training. She has no experience with a sword, she has no experience with magic or hand-to-hand. She's essentially useless. She only has experience handling an over-sized paint brush which she uses occasionally for large scale art such as doodling on structures.

I. Racial Skills

♦ 1 | Possession
Her only form of anything special is that she is able to "possess" her art and drawings. This completely disables anything that she can do other than observe from the 2D face that her art is one. It completely conceals her energy and she cannot be detected in her art however she cannot move or do anything. She becomes a literal fly on the wall. If her art were to be destroyed while she was possessing it she would die. If it was damaged she would be forcefully ejected and suffer damage scaling off how damaged the artwork was.
