## Profile

### Background

Kana and her twin brother Taiga were born in a small village on Okinawa Island in the morning of June 20th. Taiga was the first to be born and Kana followed two minutes later. Kana and Taiga were set on their individual paths at a very early age. When they were four it was decided that Taiga was to inherit the Watatsumi family magecraft as he was much more talented than Otohime and was older even if only by a few minutes. Kana on the other hand decided to follow in her father's footsteps. She moved out of her house and left to live and train in the hidden headquarters of the Order of Dragon Knights and upon her father's advice she hid her divine heritage by taking up the surname "Dragonborn" to avoid any special treatment.

Unlike her brother, Kana had a rather rocky start. In addition to how tough the Order's Sparta-like education is she wasn't especially skilled in combat unlike her fellow Mixed-Blooded Dragon peers and had trouble keeping up with them academic wise as well. On top of that, her short temper isolated her from her peers so she was usually alone. The only person she could turn to was one of her teachers who was an elder in the Order. He quickly became a father-like figure to her since she only got to see her real father once or twice a year. When she was six her brother's accomplishments and quickly he was improving began to reach her ears. Now, on top of her current struggles she had to deal with comments from her peers such as "It is a pity you don't have your brother's talent." or "Hey, did you hear what your brother did..."

The desire to get out of beneath her brother's shadow and prove to him that she doesn't need skill in magecraft to beat him began to fill her thoughts. At this time, she began to train harder than ever before even more than what should be safe and she did so in secret. As she continued to train she hid her rising skill from her peers and teachers and allowed them to continue to underestimate her. In the morning she would lead a normal human life except in the afternoon when she had combat and magecrat training and in the cover of night she would continue training in secret. Improving herself in all aspects. Physically, academically, and with combat. Four years would pass like this and during these four years Kana worked extremely harder even harder than her brother and her hard work had paid off. That year a tournament was announced as a way to give students a chance to test their skill and Kana signed up, despite how no one expected much of her.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Kana blazed through the tournament thanks to how much she has improved and how her opponents underestimated her. After the tournament the Order of Dragon Knights began to pay much closer attention to Kana. Not just because of her skill in combat, but her craftiness and patience as it would take a lot of both to come up with a plan such as this especially when considering her age. During that school years final exam she showed that it wasn't just her skill in combat that improved, but her knowledge as well. She didn't get the best scores among the trainees, but she was in the top 50. In the years following, students began to follow her lead and do what she did creating an intense yet friendly competition between the trainees. All of them improved greatly especially Kana and the Order of Knights began to believe once they do graduate and become full fledged members they will be the best graduating class they have had in centuries. When she turned 18 she finally graduated from the Order's training program. Ranked 15th when it came to combat and 100th in academics.

Her years as a full fledged member weren't always easy as she did have a pretty rocky start. Her closest friend was killed on her first mission, she was once captured by an enemy secret organization and tortured for information and needed to be saved, and she failed on many of her first missions and needed to retreat. However, instead of letting her trauma and failure hold her back she sought to learn from each experience and before long she began to have more successes. When she was 28 she managed to easily kill the same Monstrous Beasts that she was hopeless outclassed by when she was 18 and who killed her friend, take down several humans and phantasmal beasts that once posed a threat and had a huge bounty on their head, become an elite member at the age of 30 which is 10 years earlier than most, and earned the alias "The Dragon Valkyrie" from her peers a year later out of respect. Kana still had her fair share of failures in her later years, but her successes without a doubt outnumbered her failures and the leaders of the Order took notice of this.

Acknowledging her experience, when Kana was 48 years old the Order gave her first high profile mission. They told her they caught wind of another grail war that was rumored to take place in Canada. With the secret knowledge of the grail's possible corruption in the mind's of the leaders, they told Kana she were to go undercover in Canada as a college student to make sure nothing happened, but instead of sending her to Canada to watch as a bystander they gave her the Monas Hieroglyphica to summon John Dee and sent her to Canada as a future participant. In the two short years before the start of the grail war she did as she was told an enrolled in a college to lead a somewhat peaceful life and fully integrate herself into society. One year and eight months later at the dawn of the grail wars, Kana summoned her servant John Dee as a Caster-class servant. In the months following, they prepared for the upcoming grail war by working on their teamwork in secret, which wasn't hard nor did take long due to just how compatible their fighting styles are. By the end of the two months they were able to fight together well enough that it was hard to believe they have only known each other for a few short months.

### Appearance

Kana looks a lot younger than she actually is due to her phantasmal power slowing down her aging process by making the telemores inside her cells are much more resilient to damage, which keeps her in her prime and extends her lifespan greatly. As a result, her appearance hasn't changed at all since biological age matched her chronological one. With a height of five feet three inches and slender build Kana doesn't look at all like a great fighter especially when compared to her peers who have a much more intimidating physique. Her physique makes it easy for people to underestimate her. The intense physical training she received as a child has toned her body in several areas like her arms, legs, and torso, but the clothing she usually wears conceals that. "Normal" is the first word that comes to a person's mind when they first meet Kana especially if she is wearing a casual attire instead of her combat attire. The type of person you would pass on a college campus and not give a second look to because of the assumption that she was just a normal student.

The demeanor she has when she isn't with of her group of friends solidifies this assumption because of how she looks like an old soul due to the tired expression that is always parked on her face. This demeanor is in direct contrast to how she acts with some she knows or is in a fight. "Eccentric" is one of best ways to her true demeanor and example is how when she is fighting a strong opponent there is never a hint of fear or stress, but instead excitement shown by the wide smile on her face that grows wider the strong the opponent is, which has earned her the nickname of "Cheshire Cat" by her friends. In addition, she has a very open demeanor because of how she sees no need to hide how she is feeling. It is very easy to tell when she is happy, sad, angry, annoyed, or if she is feeling any other emotion and due to her short temper this means there is always a hint of annoyance in expression. Sometimes it is only a small barely noticeable hint, but it is still there nevertheless.

Kana has long straight amethyst-colored hair that extends a bit past her shoulders and very expressive sea green eyes. Short strands of hair follow over her forehead to completely conceal it along with longer strands of hair that fall past her face on either side to frame her face. Regardless of her attire, she is usually wearing plain looking white headband in her hair to prevent any more hair from getting in her face. This headband is partially concealed by her hair and despite how much she wears it the headband doesn't appear to have any sentimental value. The paracord necklace she always wears that has what looks to be a dragon fang hanging from it is a different story as it was a gift from a friend who was killed by a Monstrous Beasts in front of her during one of her first missions.

Her headband and necklace is the only part of her attire that is consistent has the rest changes depending if she is doing a job for the Order or not.

### Personality

To those who don't interact with her much, Kana appears to be a quiet person. She doesn't talk much to people outside of her group of friends or when she is in public, which gives her a very small presence. It is very easy to forget Kana even if she is sitting right next to someone and the few times she does talk people will usually not notice and continue whatever they were doing. Many people have remarked on how she is as stealthy as ninja because of this; the type of person who won't be noticed unless she truly wants someone to be.

Many believe she is a shy and hesitant person because this; a statement her friends can't help, but laugh uncontrollable at. She indeed may be an introvert, but she is anything but a shy and hesitant person. Her friends, in contrast, describe her as a very short tempered, impatient, stubborn, quirky, and awkward person. By far, Kana's most known trait among her friends is how impatient and stubborn she is. One of her biggest pet peeves is having to wait on people and she will often nag people relentlessly until they do whatever she was waiting for. She seems to have zero patience and always wants things to be done as soon as possible.

On top of being very impatient, Kana is a very stubborn and hard headed person. When some confronts her on her ideas or actions she is the type of person who will argue with them day in and day out and continue arguing after the person has given up and lost interest. During the argument one can count on the fact that she will ignore all evidence and stick to what she believes. The only time when she does give in is when she is feeling lazy, which happens more often than one may expect.

This combination is one of the many things that isolates her from others. As expected, very few people can deal with this on top of all of her other quirks. Kana knows this full well, but of course she is too stubborn to change the way she is. This is why Kana is usually a loner. It isn't rare for her to go a day without a single approaching her and her small presence only amplifies how isolated she feels, which in turn is where her depression that she keeps hidden from the world stems from. Her depression is also what makes her secretly an insecure and unconfident person. She usually does a good job at keeping her depression and insecurities because they manifest in a way that is hard to detect. Her insecure side is why she is constantly asking those around her their opinions on her work, ideas, or opinions even though she will probably ignore everything they say out of stubbornness.
Her depression can also often manifest itself in the form of pessimistic behavior and thinking. Her entire philosophy is built on how pessimism. She believes having very low opinions of everything and everyone is the key to happiness. She believes if you have a low opinion of a person and they do something bad or stupid there is no reason to feel upset. On the other hand, she believes having low opinions on everything means it is easier to be pleased because of how easy it will be to encounter an event or person that exceeds her expectations. In short, all she wants out of life is to meet people that can restore her faith in humans and non humans and of course to find a place where she feel accepted and belonged. This is what motivates fuels her fighting spirit. She fights to find a place where she belongs her carve out a place where she and people like her can call home as well as to defend people who are unable to defend themselves.

## Abilities

### Mixed-Blood

Unknown to most, Kana comes from a Mixed-Blooded family whose roots can be traced back to the powerful goddess and dragon: Otohime. The dragon blood that is so thickly mixed with her human blood grants a wide variety of inhuman characteristics such as immense physical abilities, natural aptitude for combat, high magical resistance, Dragon's Breath, and Draconic Ascension, which is a special ability that allows her to partially turn into a dragon or grow different draconic body parts like a tail or a pair of wings. Her dragon heritage is what makes her so much more powerful than the ordinary mage or fighter; she is such a skilled fighter that she is capable of keeping up with low tier servants on her own and very powerful Servants with the help of Caster.

#### Draconic Physical Capabilities

     Kana's dragon-blood has given her remarkable physical capabilities so much so that her physical abilities at at a level where she can easily outperform other mage's physical abilities even with mana enhancing them or to keep up with some servants. This is best seen in how she is capable of swing and move around with a sword as heavy and large as her Geistsaber as if it weighed little more than a dagger or a rapier. The heavy sword appears to not hold her back in the slightest as even with it she is capable of performing amazing acrobatics feats or move her sword with great precision and skill.

##### High Magical Resistance

Kana's dragon heritage grants Kana a high level of Magic Resistance. Her Magic Circuits are able to flush foreign magical energy out of her rather quickly to dispel magecraft-induce conditions such as sleep or mind control or resist spells. Since Kana is a rather weak Mixed-Blooded dragon she doesn't stand a chance against magecraft from the Age of Gods and even high level modern magecraft can easily overwhelm her defenses. In addition to acting as a magecraft-focused immune system, Kana's magic resistance lowers the damage output of any spell that hits her by a small margin.

##### Water Affinity

With the blood of Otohime flowing through her veins, Kana, much like the rest of her family, was born with a natural affinity toward water. This affinity grants her various traits like how she is a naturally gifted swimmer, can breathe underwater, is completely immune to water and all of its effects, and gain a very small boost in her physical abilities when she is in the presence of a body of water or touching water. One the downside, this affinity toward water does make Kana a bit more vulnerable to electricity. Her body's natural resistance to electricity is not much higher than that of a normal human body when it is wet.

#### Draconic Ascension

Draconic Ascension is an ability passed down in the Watatsumi family and it stems from her ancestors Ryūjin and Otohime. It is also her only means of enhancing her body as she doesn't use reinforcement like other Mixed-Blooded dragons in the Order. By tapping into more of her draconic blood to partially transform into a dragon. Through this ability she can transform her eyes into that of a dragon to enhance her sight, grow a draconic tail to enhance her balance, grow a pair of draconic wings to gain the power of flight, transform her skin into scales in order to harden her body and augment her durability, make the magic circuits in a part of her body more reminiscent of a dragon's to augment her speed; strength; or other physical abilities, or gain other dragon body parts like their claws or feet. She cannot fully transform and can only transform a single body part set at a time; for example if she were to transform her eyes she couldn't transform her arms or grow wings. As for for its enhancing side, Draconic Ascension isn't any better than using reinforcement to enhance physical abilities. It doesn't allow her to enhance her physical abilities to a greater degree than reinforcement. In fact, when it comes to being used for enhancing physical abilities reinforcement is better. This is because since Draconic Ascension is a natural ability it requires less magical energy to use, but on the other side this means she cannot make the magic circuits in a part of her body more reminiscent of a dragon's to enhance a physical ability to the same extent as reinforcement.

The one exception is physical abilities directly tied to a part of a body. For example, transforming her eyes will result in her enhancing her vision to the same level as a full-powered reinforcement spell and the same could be said for balance and growing a tail. In addition, Draconic Ascension comes with another more devastating weakness that being how it can cause Kana to lose her sanity. Overuse of this ability will cause Kana to completely lose her sanity to make her nothing more than a mindless monster. Draconic Ascension isn't an ability she can throw around with as little care as a magus can with reinforcement. It is an ability only to be used as a last resort.

#### Dragon's Breath

     Dragon's Breath is an ability that allows Kana to generate mana or water and then expel it from her mouth as a torrent and it is an ability that can only be used when Kana is under the effects of Draconic Ascension. The torrent can have quite a lot of destructive power although Kana's Dragon's Breath pales in comparison to the Dragon's Breath of pure blooded dragons. When it hits it hits target with a great deal of concussive force allowing it to have the potential to cause anything from minor to severe external and internal damage like bruising, breaking bones, or other blunt force traumas as it propels whatever it hits backwards. The damage output and destructive power of the torrent depends on how much mana is put into it; the more mana she uses the more powerful it becomes. At its most powerful, a torrent capable of inflicting severe external and internal damage and propelling a target backwards with great force, Dragon's Breath will drain Kana completely. At a moderate level of power the ability is still very draining as shown by how she cannot use this ability no more than three times, which forces Kana to only use this as a last resort or to finish off her opponents. Kana has demonstrated the ability the ability to combine Magecraft with this ability, specifically Material Transmutation Magecraft. This allows her to give the torrent attributes it would normally not have such as giving it high priority over other spells to make it a little easier to overwhelm another mage's spells. With intense visualization, Kana can change the shape of the torrent she releases from her mouth. For example, by visualizing a laser she can make the torrent very thin and concentrated to allow it to cut or pierce through materials or by visualizing a sphere she can release the mana or water in the form of a sphere instead of a torrent.

### Grandmaster Swordsmanship

While her talented and hard working twin brother was busy training to become the successor of the Watatsumi's magecraft, Kana was training in the Order of Dragon Knights to follow in her father's footsteps. She was accepted into the Order at a very young age and left home to live and train in the Order's secret base away from her family. Her training was very hard and could almost be considered hellish and yet she persevered; driven by her will to get out from beneath her brother's shadow to prove to him that weapons don't matter, but skill. After ten tough years of training she managed to master the Order's trademark swordstyle rumored among the order to have been developed for the purpose of slaying dragons. Although she is unable to do so herself the fact that she has completed mastered this sword style is a huge testament to her skill and makes her fierce fighter. Just like the rest of the Order, Kana's skill with swordsmanship and combat in general is supernatural. She is able to wield swords with great finesse, power, and speed putting her miles above the average fighter so much so that she can toy with the average olympic kendo player or numerous average opponents. She can perform some of the more advanced and percise sword techiques as well as read, react, and adapt to her foe with little effort making her use of the sword almost instinctual making it seem as though she takes to swordsmanship as easily as a fish to water. This is can be further seen in how skilled she is with both offense and defense her ability to fluidly switch between the two extremes. She clearly doesn't always need magecraft to take down a fellow magus for her skill with swordsmanship alone is usually enough and it takes a very skilled fighter to give her any level of a challenge.

Those in the Order go so far as believe that she may even be able to go toe-to-toe with a Saber-class servant in a contest of skill. She may lack the power of servants, but not the skill in combat that most high-class servants have shown and with Caster in the background enhancing her already superhuman physical abilities and magecraft matching blow for blow with a servant is not out of the realm of possibility especially when she combines magecraft with swordsmanship, which is where her true skill lies. As impressive as Kana is with swordsmanship alone, she is an evenIt is clear that Kana isn't the weak one in this servant and master dynamic; Caster is. Contrary to assumptions, one should go after the servant to take down this duo and not the master.

Kana differentiates herself as a swordmaster by her emphasis on skill and speed rather than strength or agility. Her high level of skill allows her to conserve a lot of energy through small movements instead of large and exaggerated movements that try to intimidate the foe. These small movements makes it easy for her to keep her guard up even when attacking. The small movements also make it easier for to read and react to her foe, which is how most opponents are overwhelmed by Kana. As for her speed, when Kana chooses to go all out she can move and accelerate faster than the average eye can see. She uses this speed to keep up the pressure, close the distance and move out of the way of strikes at a drop of a dime, or simply to overwhelm a person's reflexes. It is this speed and skill, which earned her the alias as the "Dragon Valkyrie" among the Order since this speed and skill makes her sword strikes as sudden and sometimes as unexpected as death and as the wielder of the sword this makes her the chooser of the slain.

Kana does have one huge weakness that being it is hard for her take things seriously. She treats any strong opponent as a chance to better herself rather than a dangerous threat. Facing strong foes is like a game to her and nothing more than that. She enjoys the thrill she gets when the odds are against her. This can sometimes make her sloppy if there isn't an ally nearby to keep her mind on track and focus. By extension of this weakness, she is a very honorable fighter who always respects her opponent making her very vulnerable to dirty tactics.

### Equipment

* **Geistsaber:**      Kana's primary weapon is the Mystic Code known by the name Geistsaber or the Energy Saber. This 30 pound unusually large bladed zweihänder sword is infused with a part of Kana's spirit, which allows it to vibrate at high speeds when her magical energy is channeled into it; the blade's high-frequency vibrations greatly increases the sword's cutting potential allowing it to cut through most things with ease. The sorcery trait infused into the sword also allows it to cancel out the kinetic energy of any moving object that comes into it by absorbing its kinetic energy. Any kinetic energy that is absorbed can later be released from her sword as a cutting wave, blast, or shockwave of pressure.
* **Draconian Sword:** The Draconian Sword is a spatha created and used among the Order of Dragon Knights. It has a blade made of dragon scales giving it supernatural cutting power and durability. Its lightweight and comfortable grip makes it extremely easy to weild which is why it has become the preferred weapon in the order. Elite members like Kana are given Draconian Swords made out of real dragon scales while lower ranking members are given Draconian Swords made out of the inferior synthesised dragon scales. As one's ranking goes up their Draconian Sword is melted down and reforged so that more of it is made of real dragon scales so that more and more of the blade is made of the real thing as their rank goes up until it is entirely made up of real dragon scales like Kana's is.

### Magecraft

The Order of Dragon Knights school of magecraft, known as Myrmidon Magecraft, is a style of magecraft that is combat oriented. This is because unlike normal magecraft, Myrmidon Magecraft is built on the Breathing and Walking concept allowing Kana to avoid the time it takes to perform incantations and cast spells by casting spells just like she would use martial arts. Kana is able to use her breathing, movement, and body to bring out a spells capabilities just like a chant or incantation would. As a result, just like other Dragon Knights, Kana is able to fluidly merge magecraft with combat by sacrificing power for speed. They are still powerful, but not as powerful as they could be. However, just like with martial arts there are choreographed patterns of movements within Myrmidon Magecraft called katas that can be performed to take the place of incantations.

#### Absorb and Release

Absorb and Release is the name of Kana's Sorcery Trait. It allows her to use her magical energy to absorb the kinetic energy from any damage her body has taken and store in her body that can later be used to enhance her physical abilities or release and manipulate it for various purposes such as accelerating an object, charging an object with kinetic energy, or releasing blasts of concussive force. This makes her a very potent Magus Killer as simply throwing spells at her won’t work forcing her opponent to think of ways to harm her indirectly such as with curses, placing runes on her body to harm her, Counter Magic, or anything else that doesn’t require physically hitting her like stabbing or cutting her with a pointed her bladed weapon. Since this Sorcery Trait allows her to only absorb kinetic energy the damage caused blunt force impacts it doesn't make her immune to such attacks and they can still harm her. As a result, it is possible to defeat Kana with such attacks if enough power is put into them.

* **Crescent Severing Blade:**      Crescent Severing Blade is a simple spell where Kana uses her magical energy in her body to harness some of the kinetic energy stored in her body and swing her sword down violently to release a powerful cutting crescent wave of pressure from her sword at her opponent. The pressure blade holds a lot of cutting power and it can cut through multiple enemies until finally coming to a stop or slice through some barriers or shields. This spell appears to be very easy to perform, which makes it easy to fire blades of pressure in quick succession. One time she released so many blades of pressure that the opponent was flayed by the many pressure blades before being cut into many pieces.
* **Dragon Burst:** This spell is performed by running up to the opponent and then Kana slams her hands against the opponent's body. Upon impact, she releases a large burst of kinetic energy to knock them clear off their feet and cause blunt force trauma.
* **Flash Step:** Flash Step is a movement spell that allows Kana to focus kinetic energy to the soles of her feet and release it suddenly; allowing her to move much faster than would otherwise be possible.
* **Energetic Transmutation:**

#### Bladecraft

Bladecraft is a unique form of Material Transmutation that is geared more toward being used on swords than anything else allowing its user to expand on what they can accomplish with swordsmanship. With it, Kana can flow magical energy into a sword to alter its properties or grant it new ones. She can use this to make her blade sharper, heavier, longer, or to apply different effects to her strikes. Although it may not have a lot of destructive power its flexiblity combined with how quickly it can be used thanks to Myrmidon Magecraft makes it a very effective style of magecraft in the hands of a swordmaster such as Kana.

#### Water Magecraft

Much like the rest of her family, Kana was born with the innate ability to use Water Magecraft, which allows her to create and control seawater. Although her skill pales in comparison to her brother who is known as the "Water God" due to his skill, Kana still has a bit of talent with this magecraft. She can release blasts, waves, and vortexes of seawater to inflict blunt damage due to the seawater's high pressure. She can also create more complex shapes with water like manifesting seawater in the shape of a sword or create a small avatar of a dragon around her to protect herself though this takes considerable effort and a lot of concentration.

### Weaknesses

Much like all dragons, Kana is very weak to dragon slaying magecraft, skills, and weapons. Such things with a dragon slaying effect can deal up to 10 times the amount of damage they would normally do on a non dragon foe making it very easy for Kana to receive a fatal wound from such things. In addition, she still has the normal weaknesses of a human. She can still get sick albeit only from dragon illnesses as she is immue to human diseases and illnesses, she can die by the same fatal injuries, she can still die from old age though her lifespan is much longer than the average human, etc. Her dragon blood may give her many abilities, but it also gives her just as many weaknesses. She may be a fantastic fighter, but she is no full blooded dragon; she is not invincible.

In addition to the weaknesses that come from her species, Kana has several personal weaknesses. First and foremost, unlike her brother who is a magus prodigy Kana's actual skill in magecraft is only second rate at best. Average and as such she mainly relies on her skill with combat to win fights. The skill in magecraft she does have comes from how she she has mastered the little she does know can apply that knowledge in the most effective way possible. This can at times make it seem as though she is a very skilled magus when in reality she is simply average. This level of skill in magecraft means she is very weak to opponents who can keep their distance and attack her from far away. Luckily, Caster can cover that weakness quite effectively thanks to his impressive skill in magecraft though when she is fighting by herself this is a very big weakness for Kana. Another personal weakness Kana has is how she hasn't trained her mind as much as she has trained her body or her skill and knowledge about combat. She is far from stupid, but this does means she is very vulnerable to spells that target her mind especially memory manipulation. This is her single greatest weakness and a magus with any amount of skill in Mental Interference can exploit it to take her down.
