Name: Getsuei (Moonlight)
Alias/Nicknames: Suei
Gender: Female
Race: Human Priestess
Age: 25
Personality: Living a mostly isolated life has left her mostly numb, she knows the ques of emotions but isn't really sure how to experience them due to her life she had lived before traveling.
Appearance: As her name states she has soft pale white skin, what really makes her stand out, is despite being human she has long snow white hair that is pulled back into a neat braid that reaches down to her knees with some loose hair that frames the gentle features of her face. Frosty blue eyes that remind one of ice over rushing water.
Clothing/Armor: She wears the general white and red priestess garb, not really much else
History: She was born to a temple high in the mountains that was surrounded by thick blanket of trees. Suei was born during a particually strange full moon that glowed brightly upon her birth. She was to be female the incarnation of Tsuki-Yomi, the god of the moon, for she was the only heir, and thus her fate was entertwined with the god who had been forsaken by his sister. The side effect of each Incarnation of this great being, was not only the snow white hair that set them apart, and often above, others, but also the lack to feel and convey emotions until a crucial point in their life. The emotions part had long been thought as a curse put upon his work by his sister, not out of spite for the mortals, but for the unforgivable murder he commited. The hair, eyes, and classic emotionless face would forever brand her and those born from her family as the forsaken moon followers.
Despite this fact she would still try her hardest from the other preists, priestesses and children at the temple grounds to learn how to make basic epression, no matter how hard she tried though, nothing would work, she could never feel anything. One example, when the girl was about 12, she had come acrossed an injured bird who had fallen from it's nest before it could fly. Now she had always been taught to care for those in need no matter if it be human or animal. So she tried, she did everything right, everything she could, but sadly, even with all her diligent care and gentle touch, life was not meant for this creature, and eventually it died on evening. She couldn't understand Why it gave up living, why it stopped moving, and breathing. She did not cry in sorrow, she did not feel anything, she simply just failed to understand.
That night would bring more than confusion for her however, for Tsuki-Yomi paid her a visit, well sort of. She was sitting on a thick branch of the cherry blossom tree, watching the moon and stars in the reflection pond, which was meant for silent contemplation, something she also didn't really get, That's when she saw a face replace the moon's as a petal fell onto the wa creating a ripple. No one else would be able to see or hear him, for she was in a way, him. He told her, why she was different, explained why she could not feel like others, and why understanding such things elluded her. He then told her, once she turned 16 that she would need to travel, learn and explore the world, for if she remained here, she would inexplicably give birth by a certain age, die and the cycel would simply continue, The first woman to ever be born of her line, she would be the one who would need to break the never ending cycle, to find herself, to find her reason in this world other than merely existing.
For four years she trained, honing her skills, pushing her body to it's limits, learning ways to defend herself in the world she would soon have to adventure into. She became highly skilled with her arts, using powerful fans as close-range combat, Training in martial-arts with visitng monks, while practicing on her own while there were none, to honing her archery with it's purifying capabilities, lastly, she had learned how to call forth a familiar, though not briming with strength, the Black fox is highly intelligent and keeps her company on her travels.
Since her departure Suei has explored many places of Japan, seeing man rare and unusual things, as well as putting her skills as a priestess to use for those who needed it most and where often ignored.
Likes: listening to the nature around her, whether it be a stream, or birds singing in the tree, she'll often close her eyes and rest, listening to these things.
Dislikes: loud sounds, crowds, trying to explain why she is the way she is, because she doesn't know why.
Allies(optional): n/a
Enemies(optional): n/a
Occupation(optional): Traveling Priestess
Weapons: A simple bow that is common amongst most archers, and of course a quiver of of arrows for said bow. And a pair of beautifully decorated medium sized fans for close combat, she pairs it with some martial arts skills she was taought at her temple.
Abilities: She creates sacred arrows when they are released from her bow, specalization in purification though she doesn't quite know how it works even till this day, and summoning a black fox familiar. She also knows how to do some healing with herbs and natural plants, things she feels most travelers should know.
Quote: "Emotion, the simplest of things that all creatures have, yet I was born without it, does this make me broken?"
