Yokono Tae

"You're so, DISGUSTING!... all those, limbs. I will make you beautiful... so very beautiful~. You will be the most wonderful shade of red."-Yokono Tae right before she cut someones limbs off. Yokono Tae is a Kitsune serial killer, she is quite infamous and holds a place near the top of many most-wanted lists. However, she has never been caught so far and not much about her appearance is even public knowledge because she rarely leaves witnesses.
WIP Serial Killer Alias: The Flesh Carver.
Yokono Tae's Theme is Blood On My Hands by The Used. 
Everything the authorities know about her appearance comes from one murder, in particular. One of the most gruesome murders to ever be attributed to her. Witnesses report the sight of a 'young' Kitsune girl skipping down the street while humming a merry tune... completely covered in blood. Unfortunately, witnesses were too shocked by the blood to give a detailed description but 'dark-haired Kitsune girl' is much more to go off on then what they had previously.
She has never personally been caught on camera, at least as far as the authorities know (she might be using illusion magic to stop herself from appearing). Her weapon, however, was partially visible once from a distant security camera, it was seen ripping the victim in half as they reached the opening of an alleyway in their attempt to escape.
=== Weapon ===
Her primary weapon is two duel-wielded chainsaw blades attached to chains which are attached to her wrists. The chainsaw blades are powered via magic and Yokono controls the chains using one of her abilities. Her secondary weapon is a more standardised chainsaw (seen in the image) that she uses when she wants to see her work 'up close'. Despite her weapons being very 'brutal' in their design, she wields them with masterful precision. The blades are very sharp and very strong, they will cut through stone, metal or bone with ease. The blades are also decently lightsaber resistant, they can be deflected but can't be easily cut into pieces. When her duel-wielded chainsaws are 'sheathed' on her arms, they can be used defensively to block shots and other attacks. If she detaches the chainsaw blades, she can use her chains as some sort of grappling hook or for spider-man style swinging. 
=== Personality ===
Yokono Tae is obsessed with Faith Autumn and constantly follows her around. If Faith is present, Yokono probably is too, you just haven't seen her yet. She considers herself to be an artist of sorts and Faith is her 'perfect canvas', her 'inspiration', her 'muse'. Anyone who happens to 'scratch' or otherwise damages her 'canvas' might suddenly find themselves, otherwise indisposed. In her own twisted way, she might even actually be in 'love' with Faith. 
Yokono has two personas, an innocent little girl and a terrifying, bloodthirsty, psychotic murderer, she can switch between the two personas in an instant. Her psychotic persona is somewhat similar to Himiko Toga from My Hero Academia with some aspects of Ami Kirio from Mairimashita! Iruma-kun. 
One consistency between the two personas is her habit of humming to herself both while she is just walking around town and during her murders. If she hums the same song during both, it could potentially be used to identify her, that is if anyone survived long enough to notice. 
She gets turned on when people are in agony and/or covered in blood and gets very annoyed when they bleed out too fast, as she puts it "dead bodies are no fun to play with". She prefers to cause as much despair as possible so while she usually doesn't leave any witnesses, she might let someone think they are getting away, before chasing them down. "Letting them have hope before you crush them into despair is so much more delicious~". 
She moves around frequently, never staying in the same place for too long but you can be sure she is never far from Faith... always watching, always waiting. She has directly interacted with Faith a couple of times in her innocent persona but so far Faith is none the wiser.
=== Abilities ===
Accelerating Regeneration refers to her ability to regenerate faster and faster every time she is injured. At her normal level, she can heal from most injuries in a couple of days but at the highest level of her regeneration, her wounds would be healed before you even finished making them. If she doesn't sustain any injuries for a significant period (like an hour) then her regeneration will slowly go back down to its normal level. Being the psychopath that she is, she is perfectly willing to turn her own weapons against herself to utilise this ability.
She is also capable of moving very fast and dextrously, she will run up walls, jump over attacks, backflip and other such stunts, the whole time attacking over and over again with her blades. It is very difficult to escape her, if it seems like you're getting away then it's more than likely that she is just letting you get ahead, to make the chase more interesting.
She can push off the ground using her blades to increase her jump height/speed. Additionally, she seems to have some level of combat training as she is quite proficient even without using her weapons. It's also possible that the manipulation of her chains and/or her dextrous nature are the product of gravity magic, which might mean that she and Faith trained together at some point.
Fun Fact: When Yokono isn't purposely dragging her chains on the ground to intimidate her victims, she is actually incredibly stealthy (magic might be involved). Hence why she has never been caught by the authorities or noticed lurking in the background near Faith. She might even use some illusion magic to remove herself from cameras. 
Another possibility is that she uses Darkness Magic to turn herself into a living shadow. 
==== Madness Form ====
Every use of her Madness Form makes Tae a little more insane, it's entirely possible that its the root cause of her being crazy in the first place. While Tae in her normal form does delight in the slow suffering and despair of others, in her Madness Form she doesn't tend to delay her opponent's death, all she does is kill, kill, kill. Additionally, she also throws all caution to the wind and does not make any attempt to hide from cameras or potential witnesses. Once Tae is in her Madness Form, she is unable to turn back by herself, she will continue killing everything that moves until it runs out on its own. 
Her Madness Form is also almost entirely unrecognisable from her normal form. So even after she goes on a massive rampage, tying it back to the adorable Tae-chan is gonna be hard. 
As there has been no mention of Tae's parents so far, it's entirely possible that she accidentally killed them when she first transformed into her Madness Form. This too might account for her fractured mental state. Removing her insanity would probably break her, as she would be unable to take all the evil actions she has performed and would likely just curl up in a ball and cry. 
=== How to Fight Yokono Tae ===
While Tae is more durable than a human due to her Kitsune nature, her Accelerating Regeneration is relatively slow, at least to begin with, and she isn't likely to activate her Madness Form unless she perceives her enemy as a genuine threat. It is imperative that you defeat Tae as quickly as possible, the longer the fight drags on the lower your chances of survival become. Catching her unaware with a sneak attack is a good bet but getting past her Kitsune senses will prove quite difficult, and if you fail to kill her with your initial attack then you will only be fueling her Accelerating Regeneration. 
If you allow her to activate her Madness Form then the best bet at that point is for you to run as far away as possible, as your chances of winning are basically nonexistent, that is, if you even can escape as her Madness Form increases her already impressive speed. If you manage to survive long enough that her Madness Form runs out, she will be in a weakened state (as she actually turns sane for a short period before the insanity takes roots and returns to her, now even worse than before) and should be fairly easy to finish off. 
=== Quotes ===
Just some quotes from her file to give an idea of how she sounds. 
"She is my muse *deep breath* my... MASTERPIECE. Her face of despair will be so... beautiful"
"NO, YOU BLED OUT TOO FAST, I WAS GONNA HAVE SO MUCH MORE... fun~ with you"
"Running are you? I do quite enjoy a good... chase~"
"I am an artist, but not of paint, paint is too... clean. I prefer my supplies to be a little more... raw~"
"Oopsie seems you died, guess your friend is It. Now where did he run off to~" 
"... found you~" 
=== Inspirations ===
The Blade Wolves from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance are a good example of how her weapon would look and act. While Shuka from Darwin's Game is a good example of how she moves and attacks. Additionally, mentioned in an above section was the fact that her psychotic personality was inspired by Himiko Toga from My Hero Academia with some aspects of Ami Kirio from Mairimashita! Iruma-kun.
