Physical Description:
Kazuyo Ishida is in her early twenties, with silky jet black hair and an athletic build. When impersonating a court entertainer, she has the demeanor of a meek, polite woman with perfect, courteous manners. However, under the white-powdered face, her observant, sharp eyes record every detail, calculating her odds and risks. When out of her persona, she is a sharp, strong-willed woman with the balanced posture of a trained fighter.

Abilities:
Kazuyo is a trained Musician (Bard lev2) a Spy and an Assassin (Ninja lev3). She can craft poisons, delivered by deadly blowgun darts or crossbow bolts. She knows some spells from her Bard training.
She privileges subterfuge and stealth over bold attacks, and ranged weapons over melee.
She is a beginner spellcaster who has glanced at the immense power magic holds , fearing it. It is a mostly unknown discipline to her, and not knowing puts one at great risk.
She plucks her string instruments (lute-like Shamisen and violin-like Kokyu) and composes poetry in the quiet moments between missions, when she is not training to keep in shape.

Background:
Kazuyo was the daughter of a master calligraphist, TAKESHI ISHIDA and of a Courtesan. She was born out of wedlock and sent to be raised in secret at a mountain village. She grew up with some warrior nuns in the Monastery of Tei-pan. She was fascinated by the nuns' discipline and martial training, and although a servant girl and a cook helper, she stole with her eyes their fighting techniques at every opportunity. From a blind sister in the Monastery, SAKAI UME, she learned the bases of poison-making. From a street musician who often called at the nunnery for charity, MORIKAWA SHO, she was exposed to her other great passion, music, learning how to hold a Shamisen from an early age, to the amusement of nuns and villagers alike.
A noble woman from the village took a shine to her, eventually allowing her to live in her house and deciding to provide for her education and wellbeing. The noble woman, OE KIYOMI, was secretly affiliated to a Ninja Clan and saw potential in Kazuyo, refining her court manners, musicianship and fighting technique with a view to using her skill as a Spy.

Physical Description: Nozomi is a young human, around 27 or so years old and standing at around 5'6". She has short, brown hair complemented by hazel eyes, and lightly tanned skin. She wears simple leather clothes in natural tones, along with a greenish hood. She carries a small backpack with some supplies, along with a bow and quiver.



Quick Facts: Being mostly a scout, Nozomi lives and dies by her ability to move, getting bonuses to damage and AC when she moves at least 10' in a round and having a full 40' of movement. She fights mostly with a bow, although needs to be within 30' of her enemy to get her damage bonus from moving 10'. She has the necessary feats to fire into melee without penalty, so don't worry about getting in her way by being next to an enemy; do, however, worry about giving the enemy cover or preventing her from staying within 10 to 30 feet, where she's most effective. She's excellent at getting out of melee, but carries a shortsword just in case. Finally, her high hide, move silently, jump, and tumble checks afford her excellent and silent movement.

Background: Initially trained as a scout, Nozomi is a recent recruit to the Ninja (i.e. she only has 1 level in Ninja)

Ryota Nobu


Physical Description: A human in his early 30's, Ryota is short, pale and thin. The bulk of his robes do hide a bit of thinness but more importantly make it hard to tell if he reaches for his daggers or into a hidden pocket to pull some odd bit of arcane importance. Black hair and keen grey eyes are traits shared with his family for good reason as their sharp minds have been in service to the clan for generations.

Background: Ryota has spent some of his early years uncommitted to any path while under going family training and just going with flow life until his Uncle Setsuno took and interest and challenged him with new lessons on arcane arts. His uncle was well known combining the arcane arts with ninja tactics and skills, set of lessons he prepares Ryota for when he has enough skill to more smoothly combine the two arts.

Character completed and submitted. Thanks for giving me the extra day.

Kuma is an average looking human that committed to learning the path of a ninja, but felt the call of nature. He found an elf who tended a grove and taught him that the best clan isn't a forest of the same trees, but a multitude of various trees working together in harmony.

He is often accompanied by his gaboon viper Hana. The snake spends most of her time on her master's shoulder. Those may fear her but she knows not to strike without Kuma's blessing.
