Name: Natsumi Korika (Sumi)
Gender: Female
Race: Saikana
Home: Wherever she happens to camp for the day (Over the years she has become primarily noctournal, though she can stay up during the day if she needed to)
Relatives: She will say she has none, but in reality she has a younger brother and previously had parents whom she killed.
Appearance: Like all Saikana, Natsumi has pale blue skin. Her hair is a straight silver like spun silk, however unlike most of her race it is tipped in black. She has it pulled back into a braid to keep it from her face, though occasionally a few stray pieces will find their way into her eyes and she must brush them aside, tucking them behind her copper coloured fin ears. (They used to be a light blue but when Amett changed her they too changed) Also, her eyes are a sapphire blue, though they turn to purple if she is using her disasterous ability. If using it in an extreme case she is known to have black eyes. On her forehead she wears a silver band with the a piece of strange black seashell as the centerpiece which rests between her eyebrows. If she is also in her extreme state of insanity (which happens often enough), it will glow dark purple or black depending on the colour of her eyes.
On one of her arms are black markings on her skin like a tattoo, another marking of Amett. It really stands out against her blue almost pirate-like vest and green shorts. It also gives a kind of dark air to her, which should not happen due to her being a Saikana. The tattoo also glows if she's angered.
Background: Sumi used to live in Cascade Mountain Spring with her family. However, one day she found a shell necklace sitting alone made of black shells and pearls. She was told not to touch it and that it had been proclaimed touched with dark magic. However, Sumi was young and her curiosity fot the best of her. She put it on.
At first it did nothing more than glow a little, a harmless tone of blue and purple. She tucked it under the collar of her vest and kept it there, wanting the necklace to remain hidden and safe. Something in her mind told her that the other Saikana would destroy the beautiful piece of jewelry so she wanted to make sure they would not get the chance.
However it began to work its evil influence into her mind. She became a puppet for a while. One of the Elders noticed and took the necklace away, destroying it. Natsumi found one of the black shell's broken pieces and tucked it away in her pocket to keep forever. It continued to use her and turn her healing magic into blacker things. She could no longer fix things, only destroy and cause pain to the mind and body. Instead of speeding up the growth of cells Sumi found herself with the undeniable power to rid the body of them in a matter of minutes, leaving nothing left of the person. It was a terrible thing to weild for a child of only seven.
She could not take it anymore. Natsumi's sanity was questionable after she killed her Mother, Tatsaki, who had tried to teach her how to make her own shell jewelry. She did this by slowly stopping her Mother's heart. She did the same to her Father, but she instead messed with his mind until it caused him to go insane and kill himself. Deciding to let him take the blame for the murder, Natsumi staged her own death at her Father's hand and ran away at the age of ten. She ran and ran until her abilities drew attention from the Demon Lord Amett. Amett had ordered Flame to capture this young Saikana for what she could do. He knew she could not be a hero, for what kind of hero would have such strength to kill? But that didn't stop him. The power would be his and his alone to control.
The capture went perfectly because of Flame being trained in doing so and having to catch so many great mages, Dragons, and heroes before. Natsumi found herself a prisoner to Amett until she submitted herself to his will. She became changed as many before her did. But now she enjoyed having her unique ability and now she was completely free to use it provided Amett approved. It was a strange sensation to have lived in hatred and fear all her life then all of a sudden have it lifted away like a veil. Also, she has gained an immense control over her ability. Her insanity not only makes her violent, it gives her great creativity when it is in occurance.
Other: Natsumi is currently only about eleven, it has been one year since she first came to serve under Amett.
Reason for travelling to the Ruins of Time:
Amett partnered her with Tansa and told her to go find the Stone Legend. After finding this she had no reason to remain in the ruins.
Partner:
Tansa (If she even counts o.O
Instead of getting the dragon she wanted so badly, Amett forced her to work with Tansa as a perminant partner due to failing at bringing the Stone Legend of Chuukan back on time.
Natsumi:
[Tansa]-What a stupid cat! She hasn't learned by now that pain can't be ignored? I can't kill her...yet... Perhaps I could just have the pleasure of her blood spill out until she's almost dead?
[DG]- What a weirdo. He's a shifter like Tansa but he's easily overcome to a person's will. Still he defies me as well. I don't think I'd be a match for him. He has too many forms unlike that failure Tansa. Maybe I can force HIM to be my partner instead? I wish I'd gotten that dragon I wanted...
[Ivy]- She's too quiet and a pushover. She'll go down quietly. Once I get a chance she's dead.
