Belladonna (Shizuka Busujima) (Earth-638)

Shizuka Busujima is an estranged member of her family; born the only mutant in her family. Her powers were discovered at 16 when her brother, Sora, joined in their older sister, Anya, in pushing her around. As Shizuka when to block her face, purple mist began to spray into Sora's face, causing him to collapse and convulse till he stopped breathed. Shizuka fled that one night, surviving on the streets of Yokohama until she was brought in by the Red Spider clan; Yakuza. In the years since, Shizuka rose through their ranks, eventually being given the special role as their personal assassin, donning the codename Belladonna.

## Appearance

Shizuka stands at 5'6, and weighs 120 lbs. One of her more eye-catching facial features are the sparkling, violet eyes she was born with. Her hair is naturally black, but in recent years, Shizuka had dyed her tips in a similar shade to her eyes. Another prominent feature about her eyes is that they can glow dimly in the dark, becoming a lighter shade of purple.

Despite being born with violet eyes, Shizuka normally wears sunglasses almost everyday; she claims to look a lot better wearing a pair of shades, no matter where she is and no matter the time. The real truth is that so she can blend into crowds easily, should she ever be asked to eavesdrop on a converstion.

A way to spot Shizuka in the crowd, however, by the silver wire bracelet she wears on her right wrist, and the waxing crescent moon earring on her left ear.

## Powers/Abilities

* **Poison Mist Generation**: Shizuka can spray purple mist from her wrist, appearing in the form of purple aerosol, which may leave little droplets and stains on her victims and surfaces. She can spray up to half a metre around her; anyone just outside of that vicinity that breathes it in may have slightly irritated eyes, nose and throat, and might have a little trouble breathing for a little bit. The pain these symptoms cause will increase if they breathe in more (or are in closer proximity), which will also cause the victims to start coughing and wheezing.  If she is close enough to her victim (or vice versa), a full blast to the face will cause them to collapse and convulse for half a minute, which would also lead to death. Shizuka can also spray mist on weapons, such as her personal combat knife, for extra lethality.

## Skills

* **Various Fighting Styles**: Shizuka uses various fighting styles. This includes Karate, Judo, Wrestling, and Eskrima (knife fighting).
* **Blending In**: Shizuka can seamlessly blend in with crowds in order to hide from others. A downside to that is people who know her personally (or at least remember her appearance) can spot her by the moon-shaped earring she wears, as well as her violet eyes.
* **Observant**: Shizuka, although quiet, is observant, eavesdropping on conversations either for her Clan or for fun.

## Weaknesses

* **Fatigue**: The more Shizuka sprays mist from her wrists, the more it will tire her out. She can spray up to 10 seconds before she starts to get tired.
* **Ventilation**: The poison Shizuka emits can be contained through ventilation by equipment made for such purposes, or by people who have the power to do just that.
* **Taped Wrists**: The most simple method in stopping Shizuka is by simply taping her wrists so that she cannot use her powers. The tape must be reinforced enough so that the mist doesn’t leak through.

## Equipment

* **Lion Steel T5 Fixed Blade Hunting & Survival Knife**: Her main weapon, gifted to her when the Red Spider yakuza appointed her as their personal assassin.

## Personality

Shizuka is relatively quiet person to be around, even to the point where people may not even realise she's there unless she makes herself known, or for those who *do* see her around, may recognise her by her violet tips on her hair, or the moon-shaped earring on her left ear.

Shizuka's view on the world is very anarchic. There's nothing in the world that would put a smile on her face than to see the world burn while the Red Spider Clan sit on top of the world, looking down while the people struggle to survive. With her enemies, she loves to toy around with them, saying and doing anything she can to get into the heads so that she can get what she wants.

Deep down, Shizuka is a lonely person. She's been used to being alone for many years, but all the while she yearns for a friend. For someone to talk to, for someone to seek comfort in; someone who can give her the shoulder she needs when she cries.
