I am of the flower and the willow but it touches me in outlines of worldly color I am blind to. My home is in the deep. The dark, starless skies and warm touch of lantern light that takes you home.

Behavioral, and Other Information
♥ CONDUCT: Motherly, loving, personable. Enjoys taking care of those around her, especially the ones she considers herself 'close' to. Adores caring for children, as she will not have her own. Considered 'playful' when in high spirits, quiet and potentially avoidant when in low. Treats elders with the greatest of respect.
♥ HABITS: Slips into Nihongo often while talking, using the Japanese form of certain words more so than others. Will also speak fully in nihongo when talking with Isamu. Sings to help work go by faster.
♥ POSSESSIONS: Traditional makeup bag with bintsuke-abura, rice powder, her bleaches and dyes, as well as the necessary charcoal and red paints. Several different kimono, cheongsam, and kanzashi. As kimono and kanzashi change frequently, she is rarely seen wearing the same one twice when they are worn. The lantern is part of her, but contains a Ōkami mask. She will return home to fetch her koto or shamisen as needed.
♥ RELATIONSHIPS: She holds family above all else, and those she considers family tend to be the closest of her friends. Isamu is currently the only 'true' family she has left. Outside of Isamu, the Okaa-san of her okiya was a very close family friend that knew of what they were and took the young leopardess under her wing when her mother passed away. As it is currently, she is set to inherit the okiya at the Okaa-san's passing.
♥ ODD QUIRKS: Neck coated in thin layer of shimmery gold. Can not be removed. Her life as a Shinigami leaves little time for her studies. As such, she is still considered a Maiko by geisha standards as she has never had the time to properly graduate. However, she is often referred to as Onee-san by other maiko, and looked at as a proper geiko by others of her okiya.
The Shinigami
♥ FLAME STATUS: The flame is brightly lit and healthy, dancing inside of the lantern in vibrant flashes of color.
♥ ABILITIES:- Healing - Proficient. Takara can gather some of the flame of her lantern upon a claw and use it to heal a wound up to a foot across. Severe lacerations will have the damage lessened but still need a doctor. Near-fatal wounds will still be critical.
- Medicine - Proficient. She knows the ways of longstanding medical practices and traditions. Which herbs will help and in what quantities. Salves and herbal teas are her specialties.
- Fire Manipulation - Novice, danger aspect. She can manipulate her own lantern's flame at a great cost to her health. Fire 'breathing' via oil means through the lantern will have her down for several days recovering. Healing weakens her minorly, setting large structures alight weakens her moderately. Her flame is a last resort defense.
- Martial Arts - Novice. She can do basic defensive moves but is easily overpowered.
♥ ISAMU: The corrupted Ōkami is linked to an aged mask hidden away inside the lantern's flame. He was once a protector for the followers of Amaterasu before yomi corrupted waters drove him mad. The mask serves as a prison for his sins, and he has served as a guardian to Takara's family for centuries. Passed down to each Shinigami born. While he plays the grumpy old man, he truly has an affectionate place in his heart for Takara and her late mother.
- Like a flame itself, he can grow large or small. At will he can be the size of an elephant or the size of a puppy. This is rarely used.
- He breathes flame as if it were air. As such, fire is of little bother to him, and he can control it if it is not too large a wildfire. The larger the fire, the harder.
- As Amaterasu is the sun goddess, his body will appear either as rolling flame in wolven shape or magma-like oozing from a black vaguely wolven body when angry or acting defensively.
