History: From a very young age, it was evident there was something very different about Kura, from her looks to her strange ability to know what others were thinking. Often she was teased about this, and she developed a sort of second skin for it, which gave her the reputation of being tough and bitter, and eventually she just adopted this persona.

She lived with her parents, younger sister and older brother until she was thirteen, at which time she moved in with her older cousin, and they lived together as roommates for a few months before Kura got her own apartment. She has worked several jobs over the course of the year, and currently is a waitress in a geisha style teahouse.

Recently Kura learned of her Kagemusha heritage on her father’s side, and has been learning as much about the Kagemusha as possible. While to a certain degree she fears this part of herself, she is proud of her heritage, though living a normal Ningen life is proving to be more difficult as her shadow abilities become stronger. Right now it doesn't look like she'll be attending classes for this term, but most likely she will be attending next term.

Miscellaneous Information : Kura has an array of abilities inherited from her Kagemusha father, foremost of which, her telepathic abilities, and control over the dark magics. Having been trained from a very young age to fight, she quickly excelled when she took training later in life, and has already earned a black belt in karate. While generally she projects a personality of toughness and independence, at home and around friends she is more relaxed and cheerful, and enjoys traditional Japanese storytelling and painting, and on occasion has been known to dapple in flower arranging and even Kabuki theatre.
