» Name: Michiko Hasegawa
» Age: 18
» Gender: Female
» Affiliation/Rank: Karakura High School, Class 3-F President

» Height: 162cm
» Weight: Not telling~
» Body Type: Curvaceous
» Cup Size: 32D
» Appearance Description: With her wide and timid blue eyes and the pale violet hair that's hung in a characteristic fashion, Michiko stands out in a crowd. Although she only stands at 162cm tall, her body is exceptionally slim and curvy, with a large pair of breasts sitting nicely upon her chest--the envy of a lot of her female classmates, but the occasional bane of her existence (especially when Fukanou is around). Though she rarely chooses to adorn herself with any more than the ribbons that she ties her hair with, she is occasionally seen with a few rings or some other types of jewellery.

» Personality: This girl, she frightens easily. Almost always scared of even the smallest of scary things in her life, Michiko spends a lot of her time cowering behind stronger people. She claims that, as long as she stands behind them, she will always be protected as the enemy will almost always go for the strongest first, in order to make the endgame the easiest for them. Usually, this is true. Possessing both an exceptionally intelligent and logical mind, one would think Michiko to be able to easily conquer her fears, but it doesn't seem that easy to her.

However, when she feels the greatest need to, she will always be the first to stand and fight. Even if she's been cowering in the face of an enemy, she will stand up and prepare her own battle tactics, especially ready to fight back whatever the cost. An avid player of strategy games, she views most fights that she gets into like chess. Each move she makes is seamlessly prepared for the next, and integrated into her overall strategy, the girl thinking one or two steps ahead every time. Of course, she's yet to properly put this into practice, but I'm sure it'll work EXACTLY as she thinks. Obviously.

» Likes: Chess, Shogi, Go, Command and Conquer

» Dislikes: Let's not list these. Most of them are fears.

» Background: For the past 700 years, the Hasegawa family of mediums have run a small temple in the outskirts of Central Karakura; a simple and traditional Japanese building among the slowly-growing and building modern-day Japan. With a powerful contracting ability passed down through the ages, they were sanctioned as a powerful and historic group of people. However, they never had any more power over spirits than to simply contract them for their stories, putting them into their bodies and allowing them to speak to the people of the real world. And, of course, there were those that did not believe, or those that did not agree with their methods. They came through all of it relatively unscathed, though there was always the risk of bringing forth a vengeful spirit, one that would try and take over the body of the female medium.

Unfortunately, this was to happen to Hasegawa Kanae, who was currently pregnant with her daughter. A custom for those mothers with daughters on the way, they would perform several readings while pregnant, in an effort to introduce the youth to spiritual energies while still growing. This way, they'd be able to better understand such things as they grew. However, this contracting was to go horribly wrong--the spirit decided that they didn't want to disappear quite so easily, and started an attempt to corrupt the spirit of Kanae. When the medium's defenses proved to be far too great, the spirit went after Michiko. However, in an attempt to save her daughter's soul, Kanae did something that is still completely unknown to this day. Somehow, however, she unlocked a latent trait of the Hasegawa family in her daughter, one that had been unneeded since the 1700s. Unfortunately, this proved too much for Kanae, whose defenses dropped to nil. Taking the opportunity, the spirit took over Kanae's body and made it its home. Without batting an eyelash, the other mediums of the family had bound Kanae, entrapping her with only food and water to sustain her until her daughter was born.

On the day of her daughter's birth, the still-entrapped Kanae was killed bloodlessly and buried. No chances; nothing--just an attempt to free this vengeful spirit from the world. Instead, Michiko was raised under the guidance of her grandmother, Pikan. Pikan was kind, wise and yet also very sheltering--she had discovered her daughter's trait, and tried to keep her from the outside world. Home schooled up until she was ready for High School, Michiko was taught to fear everything, since everything had the potential to kill her. Spirits were everywhere, and it was only a matter of time before one of them discovered her powers as a medium, and tried to use her in their own personal quest for vengeance. By the time she left for her first day at Karakura High, her powers had developed almost completely. Exposure to spirits over the next few years boosted it to its fullest level. It's unlikely that Michiko will be able to evolve. However, it's also unlikely that she'll ever need to.

_____________________________

Although Michiko comes from a long line of spiritual mediums, she did not completely receive the same powers as her family. Due to the interference by her mother while inside the womb, she cannot simply place spirits into her body to have them communicate with others in the real world. However, due to this interference, the long-hidden ability of the Hasegawa family was revealed and given to Michiko.

Known to the family as the "Tri-Seal Battle" technique, it allows for Michiko to be able to contract three spirits in battle. Each of these spirits can be any one that she chooses, no matter the power level, race or alignment. When they're contracted, they don't have to do anything else--they'll feel no drain, no gain, nothing except for a constant knowledge of Michiko's position--something they can easily ignore. Michiko, on the other hand, gains abilities, based upon who she contracts, and where she contracts them to.

Upon her body are three symbols--usually invisible to the naked eye--that appear specifically when she uses her abilities. Each of these symbols gives Michiko different benefits when contracted to.

BODY

The "Body" seal is present upon the centre of Michiko's chest, between her breasts. When a target is contracted to this seal, Michiko's bodily makeup changes dramatically. This in turn allows her physical form to mimic that of the spirit's, including durability, speed and the like, scaled down into Michiko's form. As well as this, the weaknesses that it brings are included within, as well as any natural abilities that come with the body of the spirit.

For Example: If Michiko were to contract Daigoro Ito into the "Body" slot, her speed and durability would increase harshly, but her strength would drop. She would gain access to Daigoro's Anchoring and temporary energy negation, but nothing else.

MIND

The "Mind" seal is present upon Michiko's forehead, hidden by her hair. When she has contracted a spirit into this section, her mind is suddenly changed and enhanced, and she gets all of the benefits and drawbacks of the contracted spirit's mental capacity. As well as this, she gains any and all abilities based upon that character's mind.

For Example: If she were to contract Shadin Yuudeshi, she would gain an increase in mental capacity and thought speed, though she would be burned out easily. As well as this, she would most likely gain access to a weak form of Imaginary Computation, though this may not happen, depending on what happens with cybernetics.

SOUL

The "Soul" seal is upon Michiko's stomach, where the Soul Sleep would sit on a Shinigami. When this is active and contracted, Michiko gains the spiritual abilities of the contracted soul, as well as the spiritual weaknesses. This can, to a lesser extent, also affect her body, but not as much as the body seal would.

For Example: If Michiko were to contract Gilgamesh into the "Soul" seal, she would gain access to her own version of the Gate of Babylon, as well as weakened forms of the majority of the weapons within, and his own Golden Armor. However, she would also weaken in hand-to-hand combat.

Personality Modification: While Michiko has a spirit contracted, no matter to what seal she has contracted them to, she will change in personality, melding further and further towards the personality (or combined personalities) of her contractees.

For Example: Using the three spirits above, Michiko would become more aggressive, arrogant and sexual, but also get a very defensive calmness about her at the same time. Her timidness would be gone, replaced by a strange combination of Shadin, Dai and Gilgamesh.
