Keiko Yui

*(Yui Keiko ゆいけいこ)* is a child who used to be in the orphanage, she was a very hyper and friendly person in the orphanage. In her spare time, she always used to teach some children some karate and a bit of writings.

She was soon then forcefully recruited into the port mafia as an Assassin— she was also unfortunately taken under Mori's wing as his apprentice, that joyous child was now affected with the 'Mori Effect.'

Her happy, hyper and friendly demeanor changed drastically after a week of being in the mafia, she changed into a more.. emotionless, always looking tired and overly aware and overwhelmed over certain tasks, she is more tense and overwhelmed when Mori is around. Mori also taught her how to *use* her ability, her blood manipulation ability to the fullest. After shoving down unnecessary knowledge of her ability down her throat, every Person that defied her either lost a significant amount of blood, or never exited the room at all.

## Appearance

Keiko is a tall child for her age, only being ten and already 4'11, her height is gonna feel that later after using her ability at a young age. Keiko used to have pale skin which the summer got rid of, she also wore a white karate dōgi that she never seemed to take off, but she doesnt smell bad either way, but reeks of blood. She wears white socks and brown gētas that are strapped in purple. She also has a black belt around her waist. She seems to wear a black smiling drama mask on her face aswell. It could hint at the lost happiness or.. just there for decoration!

## Personality

Keiko is an easily angered girl, she's someone who would not be diagnosed with anger issues but have anger issues, she personally hates anything that lasts long, but candles are an exception, she seems to always be angered and.. tense all the time, she never calms down and it could be a problem. But she does possess a lot of intellect in medication and logic. To the point where it could be seen as harsh. She also makes bad decisions to not loose anything or anyone important to her.

She is also very determined in finishing a task or a mission, oh she can't do it? **Call another member of the mafia,** oh they can't go? **Use the ability to the fullest and win.** But she also limits herself so she won't pass out and die of exhaustion, either way, she is very determined to do something and finish it.

## Skills

***Emotions expertise***

Keiko is a master at masking her emotions, well, except for rage and anger. But she can always cover up anything, even her lies. She is also proven to be somewhat apathetic, but her fear seems to be real enough. She knows she's the worst, but she always acts like she isn't..

*Her reaction when someone*

*saw through her façade: "you dont feel much, do you?"*

***Enhanced Reflexes***

Keiko can easily tell if the enemy will use their ability, punch, or kick, by just easily looking between their eyebrows, she got this fact from her uncle who was also a second dan black belt. Therefore blocking the possible attack. She can also react faster than before after being under Mori's wing for a while. After all that time under mori's wing, even she can accidentally counter many attacks without realizing it.

***Tremendous speed***

Keiko has some inhuman speed. "Almost like she's teleporting," described by mori, almost as if hes proud of his 'creation' she can evade out most attacks, but sometimes never unscathed. She also attacks first, in the most unpredictable way, in the middle of the sentence or, from behind. On many occassions, she can easily evade out many attacks. Due to her past hyperness, she has that energy to leap high in the air. As a member of the mafia, she can attack at incredibly fast speeds, akin to lighting, many people cant counter or block her attacks fully. She always, has her prey scathed.

## Ability

*(血は水よりも濃い Chihamizuyorimokoi)* is an ability owned by **Keiko Yui**. Who mastered it to idemnify for her lack of being able to kill someone with a weapon.

Keiko can manipulate blood, such as her own blood and others, but her only disadvantage is: her enemy should be Bleeding first, where will she have the source to manipulate her enemies blood if there is no opening? She can also solidify and liqiufy her blood and shape it into anything she wants. Even weapons, but it just depends how much blood she's willing to discharge, or to use. If she uses too much blood from herself, she passes out. But she's willing to take it, right?

Keiko can manipulate blood through open wounds, therefore forcing out the blood which pains the enemy greatly. After pulling out the blood of an enemy, she can use many of her techniques in Blood is Thicker than Water. the blood from the enemy acts like a strings, she wraps it around her hand and tightens it suddenly, which explodes in her hand. Causing great pain to the enemy. She doesn't kill them, yet. But they fall unconscious due to the loss of blood, and die slowly. There is a chance to "heal" them again, which Keiko doesn't care about.

she has many "techniques" with her blood ability, most things she is.. used to do. But none has lived to tell the tale, yet.

Keiko owns the Ability:Blood is Thicker than Water.
