Kimira Watanari

Kimira Watanari is a human woman born in Kitairiku. She is well known and feared because of her immense powers. She is extremely skilled in an old Kitairikan form of magic called "Ksutare". She also seems to have no emotions whatsoever.

## Backstory

Kimira was born in Kitairiku in <date>. When she was only 7 months old, she disappeared overnight. They searched everywhere but she couldn't be found anywhere. When they returned home from the search that day, Kimira was just laying there on the floor. She was completely unharmed but also completely silent. She was not crying or screaming or anything. Nothing of that from then on at all. Nobody knows what happened to her that day. Despite her parents' fear of her having become mute, she learned to speak normally. Her voice is quite soft but has a slight threatening quality to it.

When she was 7 years old, while she was playing outside, she found a small parcel. The parcel had a tag on it with her name on it so she took it home and opened it. Inside were a small notebook, a small phial and a white lacetrice feather pen. The notebook was empty and the phial filled with a sparkly black ink.

***[Meta:*** An old mage skilled in the art of Ksutare was walking though their village. He was convicted mastering ksutare requires extreme emotional stability. He wanted to pass on the art before he died, but he never found the time to tutor someone. When he saw baby Kimira, he convinced himself such an unruly child would be "the child of destiny" and kidnapped her for a while the following night. He used this time to enchant her and drain her of emotion, not thinking about what this would do to a child. He braught her back once he was done enchanting, all in secret, and went on with his journey. A few years later, by the time he was on his deathbed, he decided it was time for one very last spell. He wrote a beautiful spell which detailed his spellbook, a phial of magical ink and a lacetrice feather being sent in a package to the child of destiny. When he ripped out the page, his supplies disappeared from his hands, as his soul left his body. A parcel with these supplies was placed in the path Kimira was following that day, for her to find it. Only this old mage knows about this and since he has died, this knowledge has been faded into the void. ***]***

In the beginning, she used the notebook for doodling. One day, she wrote a small story about a little girl with a small stuffed bear. She was displeased with the story, though, and ripped the page out of the book. Once she did this, the little girl with the small stuffed bear appeard in front of her. They faded away after a few seconds. Kimira deducted that this must be a special book and tried this a few times. The better her spelling and calligraphy got, the more vivid and longer-lasting the apparitions appeared.

A few months later, a passing wizard saw her just as she was tearing out another page, creating another apparition. The wizard was immensely amazed to see "- such a young witch practise the ancient art of ksutare." She acted as confused as she could and told him she had no idea what he was talking about. The wizard explained himself and gave her an old book about ksutare and how to practice it. Within a few years she had already mostly mastered the art.

Whatever happened to her when she was 7 months old, it made ksutare second nature to her, allowing her to excel greatly in it, far beyond any practitioner ever.

When she was 14 years old, she got into a big fight with her parents. They were fed up with her unemotionality, her grandmother dying and her not caring about it at all really pushed it beyond what her parents could take. She felt that she would be better off without her parents. She grabbed her book, ink and quill and started writing her parents to their death. An extravagant sentence she has been reading about and aching to try. She wrote it down with remarkable speed and before her parents noticed what was happening, holes formed in their chests, spewing out blood. A few seconds after the blast, they both fell backward to the ground. Kimira just stood there for a few hours, all silent, just staring, looking at what she had done. Once she snapped out of it, she walked to her room to gather her things and walked outside.

Recognising the influence her newfound power gives her, she set out towards Shioriki shiro, a small castle in the forest nearby. When she tried to enter and the guards stopped her, she wrote one of them into a choke hold and threatened to do the same to the other. He ran at her with his spear but she had written the spell down already. One rip later and both of the guards were lying dead on the ground. She made her way to the duchess living there without effort, everyone assuming the guards let her pass. She greeted the duchess, wrote the same spell down that she used to kill her parents and ripped out the page. The duchess butler was paralyzed by sheer terror as Kimira walked up to him and told him "You work for me now. Clean that up."

## Appearance

Kimira is a very tall and thin woman. She has extremely pale, almost greyish skin. Her face is expressionless with her eyes wide-open. She wears eyeliner and mascara on her already quite long lashes. She has long, straight, black hair on top of which she wears a very light pastel purple gainsborough hat.

This pastel theme continues downward, as she always wears a light pastel purple ball gown. She also always wears long, white, silken evening gloves and pastel purple ballet shoes. She also always brings a pastel purple frilly, lacey parasol with her.

In the band of her hat, she has a relatively small white lacetrice feather. This feather is also her pen, keeping it close by at any moment. She also carries a pastel purple hand bag with her in which she keeps her magic notebook and magical ink.
