## Personality

Inque is kind, generous and compassionate, good to have around during a crisis as she knows how to remain calm and take control of the situation until it is resolved. Inque is very caring and nurturing to others, however she has a habit of neglecting her own needs while giving to others. She is very intelligent and loves to learn.

Inque tends to wear her heart on her sleeve, she feels anger intensely and joy quite well, but her sadness is silent and hardly, if ever, marked by tears. She hardly lets her rage control her and cheerfully remarks on the things that make her happy, but hardly says a word in her sadness, though it is visible to everyone. However, though she may feel sad, she never gives in to despair, always looking for a solution the right way. Her determination and little regard for pain can make her a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Alongside, Inque is gracious and well-mannered, knowing just the right things to say and do. Although she doesn't look it, Inque has high moral standards and doing the right thing is important to her, along with being a loyal friend and a faithful partner, gentle but not passionate.

Although strong-willed and loyal, Inque is a good listener and can view others problems with empathy, clarity and a balanced analysis, seeing both sides while showing respect and caring.

In short, Inque is generally frank, fairly sociable, but preferring peace at any price. She can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, and run the risk of being exploited by others. She may appear to be innocent and naïve but she is actually quite streetwise and astute - she can read others well, but often keeps it to herself.

However, in her 'Ink Demon' form, Inque's psyche changes from understanding and empathic to maniacal and sadistic. She keeps her determination and little regard for pain, but her psyche twists it into somewhat of a game of 'Who-Hurts-the-Most'. The 'Ink Demon' form is unstable and she is capable of hurting anyone, even her own friends, leaving only with a smile.

## History

Her birth name remains unknown, but Inque was born to a kind and gentle woman and a comical man, that later became known as The Joker. When Inque was born, she was diagnosed with a severe illness and the family had no money to treat her. Project Inkwell offered to cure Inque's illness, for no fee, and the family took it without a second thought. The father was a little skeptical at first, but the mother was able to persuade him into agreeing that this was the only way to save their daughter.

Project Inkwell ran some tests on Inque's human form and found she had a blood-related ailment, which was a perfect opportunity to test their experiments on her. Inque was cured of her ailment, but was permanently transformed and unrecognizable to her family. The father wanted to take Inque away from Project Inkwell, but the mother screamed that she has no daughter anymore, leaving Inque with Project Inkwell.

Many years of experimenting on Inque's physiology and powers, until one day Inque's psyche snapped and the 'Ink Demon' became known to the scientists. She killed many of the scientists within Project Inkwell and escaped into Gotham. Luckily, after a few days on a sadistic rampage, Inque finally calmed down and was found by Batman, sleeping in Crime Alley. Batman took it upon himself to take Inque to Arkham Asylum, where she and the world would be safe.

## Powers

* **Demon Physiology**: Due to being infused with a mysterious ink-like substance in her bloodstream, Inque has transformed into a demon-like entity with many abilities, such as regenerative healing factor, enhanced senses and athleticism. Other abilities need to be documented...

* **Ink/Darkness Manipulation**: As a demonic entity of ink, Inque has demonstrated an innate ability to manipulate the elements of darkness and ink with the influence of her will.

* **Magic**: Much to her nature as a fox spirit of Japanese folklore, Kitsune has displayed a wide arcane knowledge, possessing a vast library of mystic tomes, spell books and ancient scrolls. She has been shown making potions, using mystical objects like charms and talismans, and has performed elaborate magical rituals.

* **Spell-casting**: The high-level spells she casts are usually spoken out loud; though she does have some practice in casting nonverbal spells to give herself more of an advantage over her opponents.

## Abilities

* **Martial Arts/Parkour:** Though not the most physically talented of the quintet, Eleanor is nonetheless a fairly skilled and proficient hand-to-hand combatant, having received at least some degree of physical training.

## Weaknesses

* **Astraphobia/Brontophobia:** Due to her sensitive nature and senses, Eleanor is deeply terrified of thunderstorms.

* **Camera-shy and Crowds:** Due to her shyness, Kitsune is not a big fan of cameras or crowds.
