Ok the update finally finished. Posting my entry although going after Story makes me feel like I still didn't write enough.
Name: Mai-ling
Nickname(s): Cysgod
Age:18
Gender: Female
Species: Greninja
Occupation: spy, page
Personality: Mai is a very quiet and shy girl, able to blend into her surroundings easily as someone beneath peoples notice. She does this by not confronting anyone and avoiding contact unless it's required for her job as a page.
This is her default personality when at the palace and not on missions, however when she
is on missions Mai becomes very focused on her goal, and very stubborn. She will refuse to give up until a mission is completed or she is ordered to do so.
Mai feels a great debt of gratitude and is very loyal to the royal family for giving her a life and purpose. She would willingly sacrifice her own life without hesitation if Lady Alizé asked, or to keep from betraying the crown. Unfortunately she has an inferiority complex because of her dark nature and believes herself to be lower than her peers.
Nevertheless, Mai is a very skilled individual, despite not seeing this herself. At least not outside of her professional activities. Whenever something happens to shake her really bad she can become depressed and come down very hard on herself.
In her heart Mai is a very lonely individual, having lost her family and never making any true friends. While part of Mai does long for companionship, she believes that she is not worthy of it and that no one would want to be friends with someone like her.
History: Mai was born in Delinquent town, one of a pair of twins to two greninja parents. Her parents were not exactly happy with having two extra mouths to feed instead of the one they had planned for, but nevertheless decided to step up to the task as their family honor was at stake.
Mai’s brother Wan-Ping always received better treatment than Mai as both parents secretly resented Mai as they had only wanted a male child. Mai’s father Ken-Ping worked for a local crime boss named Wallfon Frisk as an enforcer, and after the children were born Mai’s mother Sou-Ling went to work as a dancer and courtesan.
Due to her parents neglect and both of them working constantly, Mai and Wan often had to take care of themselves. This often left Wan protecting his weaker sister and shielding her from as much of the darkness of their world as he could. Mai, deeply looked up to her brother and became rather adept at household chores at a young age, filling in the role of their mother.
When the children were eight years old, Wan began using his high speed, agility and nerves of steel to run packages throughout the city. Mai was very proud of her brother for helping the family and being so resourceful. Unbeknownst to Mai most of the packages her brother ran were various illegal drugs.
One night Mai was cooking dinner for her family when the young Froakie girl shivered, having the intense feeling of being watched. She ran to the window and looked outside, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. After a moment she shrugged and went back to the meal she was cooking. Later in a rare occurrence all of her family came home at the same time. This was very unusual as her mother worked most nights and her father was almost always busy. When she asked Sou why she was home, the answer she received was that the Wicked Rose brothel had closed for the night.
Mai felt her skin crawl and her every instinct screamed that something was wrong. Ken and Sou immediately took wary stances. Sou formed stars made of pure water in her hands, while Ken went down to the floor board and pulled a beautiful sword from a hidden spot under the floor.
Immediately after the front door of their house splintered into tiny pieces, as a huge fist ripped through it. Silhouetted in the door frame was a huge brute of a man. The figure must have stood nine feet tall with a large horn on it’s forehead reaching another six inches into the sky. Aleksei, the Rhydon stood in the hole that was once their front door and glared at his fellow enforcer. Ken seemed surprised at the intrusion when he saw who it was. When Ken asked what the meaning of the attack was. Aleksi told him that Frisk wanted back what was stolen from him. Ken said that his honor would never let him steal from his boss, but the Rhydon and the four men with him did not seem in the mood to chat.
A battle broke out in the house as Wan grabbed his sister and bolted for the back door. As Mai was being carried by her brother, she saw her parents fighting off the attack force and then just as both Greninja were dodging attacks two blue shuriken struck both her parents in the back. There was a loud impact and suddenly the house exploded in sheer force as the ground ripped itself apart. Mai was flung out of her brother’s arms and through the air. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a spike of wood drive itself into her brothers left eye. The young Froakie girl was slammed through the back wall of the house, and flung many feet from the wreckage landing dazed and hurt beside a path. With her ears ringing and her vision blurred she stumbled toward where she thought the house was. However the concussion sent her in the opposite direction and she finally collapsed in the street.
Fate decreed that it was not the girl’s day to die, as a beautiful
Pyroar was passing by accompanied by two guards. The woman
Lady Alizé looked down at the broken girl at her feet and recognized the kunai shaped birthmark on the back of the girl’s neck. The mark was of the Wu Shui clan, from the distant Kagura kingdom to the Far East. The Wu Shui were a clan of elite ninja who had protected the imperial throne of Kagura for a thousand years.
Never one to waste a potential asset,
Lady Alizé had the guards bring the girl back with her to the palace.
Countess Alizé Deidre Moreaux, was the ideal image of a noble lady. Tall, beautiful, graceful with impeccable etiquette and courtly manners, she was well known in the court. What was known by only a handful, was that
Lady Alizé served the king and queen personally. Her job was to ferret out any threats to the throne, and to send the knights to deal with it. She was a master at acquiring information and held dirt on a vast majority of the noble families. She also kept her ear to the ground concerning Delinquent town and neighboring kingdoms.
Lady Alizé raised the young girl, teaching her all manner of things such as courtly etiquette, subterfuge, academics, and languages. She would use others to round out the girls education including stealth, larceny, and self defense. She instilled in Mai a strong sense loyalty to the crown, and how grateful she should be to have her life saved and given purpose. Mai began to serve as
Lady Alizé's page and servant in the courts eyes while the
Pyroar began to send her on espionage missions to gather Intel.
