 Mirabella "Mira" Higashi tell me reality is better than a dream. general info
appearance Mira stands at 5'5", but she is constantly wearing heels raising her an extra 2-3 inches. She has silvery hair that she wears up in an updo with two braids (save for when she is doing work for the AP). Her eyes are a notable frosty blue. Although she keeps them well hidden, she has several faded scars from her childhood. Mira is not comfortable in her own skin. Regardless of what she is doing, she is always wearing a mask. For her work with the AP, this means a physical mask that hides her face, but on a day to day basis it means wearing a full face of makeup and keeping her hair up. Without it she feels uncomfortable and loses a lot of her confidence. She dresses professionally, which is a requirement for work, and is almost always wearing heels and a simple dress. personality
abilities Fox Shifting - Advanced Mira can transform into a midnight and icy blue fox with nine tails. It takes her about 30 seconds of concentration for her to shift, during which she leaves herself vulnerable. She is able to shift individual parts of herself as well, which she often uses to manifest claws as an intimidation device. Darkness Manipulation - Advanced As a shadow kitsune, Mira can manipulate shadows and create solid objects out of darkness. The actual formation of these shadows takes concentration and she has to have a clear image in mind, but once they are created she can easily maintain them. Illusion Manipulation - Moderate Mira can create illusions to trick someone's senses. She can create realistic illusions, but maintaining them for over an hour or applying them to multiple people is difficult and takes a lot of energy out of her. Curses - Beginner In her human form, Mira can put curses on people or items. She had never had an instance to use this and even if she did she wouldn't have wanted to, so she has no idea where to begin, but the ability does lay somewhere latent within her if someone were to teach her. Hexes - Beginner In her human form, Mira can use chalk to make a circle that can summon, heal, disguise, teleport, etc. Similar to curses she does not like using this ability so she could manage it with guidance but on her own she wouldn't know where to start. Enhanced Speed - Moderate When in her animal form, Mira has enhanced speed. As someone who doesn't spend much time shifted, she hasn't put this ability to much use, but she did stamina and endurance training as a child so she has the ability to maintain her superhuman speed for relatively long amounts of time. Natural - Enhanced Senses (only in animal form), Night Vision backstory TW: Domestic and Relationship Abuse For Mira Higashi, excellence had always been expected. She was the youngest of a large family of oni and by the time she was 4, all of her older siblings were soldiers for the AP. Taking after her grandmother as a kitsune, her parents always found themselves disappointed with her for her natural inability to take as many hits as her Oni siblings. Nonetheless, they had set the standard and she was expected to follow in their footsteps. From the young age of 8, she was brutally trained as a fighter and she hated every moment of it. Questions were often answered with physical blows, though that hardly stopped the impulsive child from blurting out whatever curiosity happened to be on her mind. Over the years she learned to be more subtle about asking for what she wanted and how to phrase things so that they appeared to benefit others more than her. When she was 18, she was eager to leave home, but being raised in the AP and entirely dependent on her family for money she had no where to go. Fortunately, she was able to talk her parents into letting her attend Lorsette Community College first under the guise of maintaining a solid façade. They were not happy about it but they relented with the condition of her working for the AP when she wasn't in classes. Balancing the battlefield and her studies, she mastered time management skills very quickly. Even from her first day pursuing her bachelor's, she had known that her next step would be to get a flawless record so that she could get into a college somewhere far away. She saved up what she made working for the AP and when she finally graduated with her Bachelor's in Law she applied to Oxford and got in with a large scholarship. She didn't know how to explain to her parents in a way they would accept, so she left without telling them anything. During her three years in England, she did some minor work for the branch of the TRS in London. She was a firm supporter of the AP, but the internship was offered through her school and she needed something to offset her cost of living. While she didn't like lying, she was able to mostly avoid it by staying out of any political conversations and not sharing her beliefs. After a few weeks it became easy to deflect a conversation back towards another person if they got too close to any sort of protected truth. The fourth year of Oxford's program required her to study abroad, and having taken French for every required second language course she'd had to take since high school, she chose to study in France. It was there that she met Jean, the single worst person she had ever met. Only, at first she didn't realize it. He was another student that originally came from Canada so she could relate to him more than most of the other students she was surrounded with. He paid attention to her and saw her as more than the quiet kid in the back of the class or the girl that asked too many questions. After a week, they were dating and at first everything was good, until he started emotionally isolating her. She didn't see the signs until he began to physically abuse her and she realized she had no one to turn to. It was hard to leave him, but after six months she did and began focusing solely on her studies. Upon graduating, she was forced to return to Canada due to the difficulty of getting citizenship anywhere else. She passed the NCA exam required to get her foreign law degree accepted by the National Committee on Accreditation and began searching for an opportunity to begin her next stage of training: articling. She was required to work with licensed lawyer as a supervisor for 10 months before she could take the bar test and get her own license. Unfortunately, background checks were required for this and she couldn't pass one with her estranged relationship with her family. When she called them up, her parents were angry but she found herself not shying away from their fury like she had when she was younger. She no longer cared what they thought because save for the background check there was very little they could do to help or hurt her. After weeks of negotiations she got them to agree to cooperate if she worked for the AP once more. With little interest in ever seeing a battlefield again, Mira began to work as an informant. Her natural tendency towards asking questions helped her make it just fine in this field. She also began consulting for them on trickier legal matters. Regardless of her job with them, she took to wearing a mask when amongst their ranks and came and went without bothering to announce herself, earning herself the nickname of 'the Masked Phantom.' misc Likes: Poetry, arguing, proving herself right, cinnamon rolls, learning Dislikes: People, family, failure (hers or others), bad liars, the cold, physically fighting She was born Mirabella Sullivan but changed her name when she left Canada | roleplayer info  ☆ NAME leesee ☆ RP EXPERIENCE 6 years? ☆ TIMEZONE MST ☆ GENDER female ☆ AGE Teen-aged ☆ OTHER CHARACTERS Lexie Abbot Mikaela Lye Anele Coetzee Ilona Visse Haley Hayes Ziyanda Blane Penny Grey Jessica Blane Amy Steele Alexander Reed Tessa Harmon ☆ FACE CLAIM KAKEGURUI, Ririka/Kirari Momobami ---------------------- THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO LEESEE.
