Another overdue revamp ref for another cherished character mine, Kyouko. Thought her design needed some tweaks and wanted to see how far my art's come along since I first drew her ref almost six years ago.

:bulletblue:Background: The Hiroshimas and Nagasakis have been in constant conflict for the last 150 years, but her and Ayane have always been best friends. She always admired her because Ayane genuinely cares about everyone she knows and wasn't one of those typical snobs with power. She grew up being the black sheep of the clan, being a bastard child from a woman her father slept with before he died. The only person in the clan that treated her with kindness was their leader Ryoku, who happens to be her half-brother. She made a contract with Mitsurugi, the god of power, to gain the strength she thought she would need to protect Ayane and always be by her side. When her clan found out that she was friends with their sworn enemy and contracted with a deity, they were outraged and were going to execute her. Ryoku intervened and helped her escape. She now works as a freelancer alongside Ayane and wears a magic-suppressing eyepatch to help manage Mitsurugi's raw power.

:bulletblue:Clan/Family Info: The Hiroshima ninja clan is a group consisting of two families: the aforementioned Hiroshimas and the Kirishimas. They worship no deity as they consider it blasphemy to rely on divine beings for power; they haven't had a need to as they all have unnaturally high aura reserves due to rigorous training, which means more powerful jutsus can be executed.

:bulletblue:Abilities: The one thing her clan gave her slight acknowledgement of was her swordsmanship. Incredibly perceptive, she mastered iaijutsu at 15 . She starts defensive, but gets more offensive as she sees more of her opponents' weaknesses during combat. She's also unnaturally flexible which only makes her hand-to-hand skills more dangerous. Her already high aura reserve was exponentially increased by her contract.

:bulletblue:Contract Powers: Kyouko releases Mitsurugi's power by percentages (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%). The higher the release, the more physical features from Mitsurugi appear on her. The first release causes Kyouko to emit a dark crimson red-black aura from her body and dramatically increases her speed (to the point where she can keep up with Ayane, who easily moves at near-light speed). Any release 25% or more exponentially increases her physical strength, but could give her crippling migraines for days if it's used for too long. As for now, her healing factor can't be measured as she's almost instantly healed from a lot of things that would be fatal to any human.

:bulletblue:Weapons: Has a twinblade she learned how to summon from her brother (was suggested since she wanted to master another weapon after the sword) she dubbed the Blood Lance for the color it was when she created it. Can also manifest Mitsurugi in the form of a black-bladed kitana, although it requires blood.


More TBD, but hope you enjoy what you see so far~
