» Personality: To fully understand Blades, one must know how the contributing factor of their life affects her; that being her unfortunate defect from birth, the disease known as 'Ueta Chi', or 'Starving Blood.' Through the support from her family, and despite most of the time this disease was killing her, she always had a good work ethic, wanting to do as much as she can to pursue her dreams. She loves to improve herself, and though she was hindered from doing so effectively due to her body's physical condition she trained herself to try and get physically more athletic, so she could keep up with everyone else. This obviously failed. Though her insecurities has caused her to stray away from long lasting relationships, due to not trusting others as much and being pushed around, she still tries to be kindhearted and generous, helping those in need whenever possible, while still not completely discounting the prospect of something more long-term. This can sometime lead to misunderstanding, depending on the circumstances, and also brings to light her more dense nature, sometimes not really getting what's truly going on and skipping over the finer details. Short-term relationships tend to keep her going, even if deep down, that is not all she wants, but she can't trust herself to be able to put anyone through their issues, and figures they are better off not worrying about her in case, one day, she succumbs to his defect. When those walls are finally broken down, however, is when they can see a portion of the true her; a sad, pathetic weakling who just wanted to be a normal girl, like everyone else. No matter what Blades goes through, her indomitable will is what truly keeps him from kicking the bucket and giving up to the horrors of life.

» Likes: Smithing - Blades dream as a child was always to become a blacksmith, which is partially why she works so hard on her body. If she isn't physically conditioned, it'd be much more difficult to run a forge. Though this love extends to all forms of Smithing, weaponry is what would be her forte.

Cooking & Food - As one of the only activities she can do without actively hurting herself, she loves to explore the culinary arts and eats pretty much all the time. Rice and Dango are her favorite foods, and she loves root beer.

Art - Another hobby Blades got into as a result of their inability to do more taxing activities, she works hard on drawing due to the fact it would help her a lot in terms of designing items to smith later in her life.

Swords - If her name didn't give it away, she loves blades of all kinds, from the simplistic to the complicated. Her favorite type of sword is the double-edged longsword.

» Dislikes: Loneliness - Blades has a crippling fear of loneliness, which is unfortunate since it gets capitalized on the fact she doesn't trust herself with longer term relationships in most situations.

Dragons - For whatever reason, Blades has never really liked anything draconian in nature. Whenever she sees one, all she can think of is wanting to slay it and eat it.

Darkness - Blades hates the dark. It is as childish as it sounds; she needs a night light at night to sleep.



» History The story starts with Blades being born with a rare illness that pretty much 'decided' what the most of her life would be like. This disease is known as Ueta Chi, and when translated into English means 'Starving Blood'. This crippling condition causes the victim's red blood cells to attack their own body internally at any and all angles possible. If it weren't for the quick work of her doctors, this would have killed her after she turned five years old, as whatever activates it does not appear until that threshold. The only known counter to the negative symptoms was confirmed to be blood. Human blood seemed to work the best, but as that would be morally unacceptable in nearly all cases, replacement pills were prescribed to her, and her grandparents were instructed to also feed her any other sources of safe blood, such as that from rare beef.

Despite the sorry state her body will be left in later in life, the situation could have been much worse. Being abandoned by her real parents at birth for unknown circumstances, her grandparents are the ones who took care of him, alongside two cousins that he'd call brother and sister while he she grew up. These folks were decently well off, allowing them to deal with the critical conditions caused by her illness, and to provide a comfortable, safe existence alongside that. Physical therapy helped a lot as well, allowing Blades to at least function semi-normally as she grew.

School life for Blades was rough, as her weakened physical condition and incredibly sheltered personality led to her being quite the pushover. She was ridiculed for being unfit, for looking scrawny, for not fighting back, for being nice even when people were clearly picking on her, and all sorts of other excuses to put her down. As much as she wanted to let people have it, though, she just figured it wasn't worth the trouble. Instead, she focused on her studies, and eventually learned about the magical world of blacksmiths, and her talent for drawing. Something else also occurred, however; her 'Soul Detection' manifested.

When Blades hit the age of ten, she began to gain glimpses into the spirit world. It started with voices in her head, whispered into her ear at night and occasionally during the day, making her believe 'invisible people' followed her around all the time. This was crazy talk to most, obviously, but as for her own view on it, she was actually right - the ones who spoke were indeed simply out of sight for her. Another year passed, however, and she woke up one day with a ghost sitting on her bed and reading a book. The screaming confused the crap out of her grandparents, but she decided to not make a big deal about it anymore, realizing that she was the only one seeing and hearing any of this. From then on, she spent her life walking among the spirits of the dead and damned, either tolerating their existence or sometimes speaking with them when she got bored or lonely. It was easier than making real life friends, anyway.

The last entry of note to her story before the modern day would be when her grandparents finally passed on. Losing two out of four of the only people she truly cared about left a huge negative impact on her psyche, causing her to recluse even more than she usually does, but it didn't come without any positives. On the day before their death, her grandfather was able to depart some wisdom upon her; that the world wasn't out to get her, despite the crazy situations she got herself into, nor from what her illness was doing to her fragile body. In the end, they loved her, and she at least took that to heart. On top of this, knowing that his granddaughter loved weapons - especially swords - one of her inheritances happened to be a blade that he specifically created for the girl. It was a thousand folded, aluminum double-edged longsword, with a golden lustered hilt and handle, said handle equipped with blue leather bindings. It was simple, and somewhat ornate, but the materials it was made of allowed for her to play with it without much trouble, while still being strong and effective. It was definitely a gift she cherished, and will love forever.

Present day, Blades works at a local sushi shop called Madai. Though it wasn't bringing her close to what her true dreams lay, it was easy for her to handle, dealt with food, and paid her decently. She's on her senior year in highschool, and has her own tiny apartment in the midst of Karakura City, providing her with the bare essentials. She still continues to train her body, hoping to bring herself to a normal level one day, and practices her drawing skills by making designs for weapons, armors and more she wishes to create one day. A part of her wonders if she was missing something vital in her life, however...perhaps she would get to fixing that soon.



» Equipment:

Featherbrand:

» Skills: Perception - Blades has an above average perception...compared to regular humans. She's not going to be seeing thousands of miles away, or smelling a scent to track it forever, but she can pick out little details regular old people could not. If blindfolded, she could move around without too much difficulty, but she wouldn't be able to fight.

Agility - Though she isn't particularly fast, she's at least flexible and intuitive in comparison to a regular human. If she had the strength to do so, parkour wouldn't be too out of her reach, and she always colors within the lines.

Intelligence - Compared to a regular person, she's decently intelligent, allowing her to think of new ways to improve her craft, although it does not apply too much during battle due to her anxious nature as of now.

Crafting - She's very skilled at the design and infrastructure of anything blacksmith related, and actually has physical application of chemistry and the culinary arts to fall back on as well. She could create a bunch of neat little trinkets and weapons, if she had the materials and workplace to do so.

Weapon Knowledge - Though she doesn't personally fight too often, she has vast intellectual knowledge on every man made weapon that isn't classified information, and as such would be able to wield them effectively if her body was up for the task.



» Powers: Spiritual Sense - She has the simplistic ability to sense spiritual energy around her, and see spectral entities. There's nothing more to this, and it scales based off her own perception and five senses.
