Name: Yamada, Reiko
Age: 21
Birthdate: 10/31
Nationality/Cultural Group: Japanese
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 120
Gender: Female
Affiliations: Yamada Electronics
Appearance: She has long black hair that she generally keeps tied back, pale complexion and green eyes. She is by most accounts the japanese ideal of beauty. Her body is tight, petite and athletic in build. She often wears a white kimono with pale blue accents but will often change her appearance to blend in with the location she is at. she has a weakness for luxury brands and exquisite craftsmanship, and will often not be seen with even an accessory that is not of incredible craft and make.
Belongings: A dagger disguised as a scroll case, A luxury european sedan, a DMW 8 series sedan. Driver's license, luxury clothes and well made kimonos.
Personality: She is a woman who is difficult to read, always your friend and yet always feels like she has a dagger to your throat. Shrewd, composed, and charming she is everything that you would expect a smart businesswoman to be, she rarely if ever gives in to showing negative emotions. Anger, embarrassment, and sadness seem to be foreign concepts to her on the surface. Delving a bit deeper one gets a sense of her warped connections and approaches to relationships. She tends to view people in two groups, tools and obstacles. Tools are to be well taken care of and treated with respect and dignity, it is after all a poor craftsman that allows their tools to be in disrepair. Obstacles are to be crushed or neutered, information and effort taken to neutralize their ability to interfere with her efforts. Above all she prizes loyalty and proficiency, and once she believes you an asset, she has no qualms about using her connections for your benefit behind the scenes. She is a woman of mystery, however there is a very real craving for real connections beneath the veil. She has a fondness for dishes containing tofu.
Character Strengths:
Beguiling charm: She carries a natural charm that borders on supernatural. She has the uncanny ability to be at home socially with almost anyone in any situation. Although she is most at home in high society, she can dance to almost any tune.
Skillful entertainer: A master of instruments, dance, and other performance arts she is often the main show of any party she is at. Her singing voice is famed among those who have witnessed her at high society parties and benefits.
Deft hands: She is a master of misdirection and sleights of hand, her ability to perform tricks of the hand are almost peerless. from making things disappear to making them appear in her hand she is a master of redirection
Character Flaws:
Delicate: she has a delicate frame and body, as such she is lightweight and lacks both physical strength and stamina, she is not the type to engage directly in a fight. generally if she draws her blade its because she has already won or already lost.
Disconnected: She has difficulty connecting with people on a real and deep level. while utterly charming and beguiling, she doesnt really know how to proceed in relationships of substance often trying to buy or curry affection in the place of real connections.
Distrustful: she has difficulty trusting people at the face value and this always leads to a frosty quality to her relationships with associates. though she is reliable and has a reputation for holding up her end of the bargain some take issue with the fact that she has clearly prepared countermeasures where none were needed.
Backstory: Born to the founder of Yamada Electronics, a major leader in microchip and technology, they make both military and civilian electronics, working with all comers and powers in the nation. She was groomed to be a marriageable pawn by her father, who spent a long time teaching her in the finer skills of entertaining and being a housewife. Those skills were intended to wed her to a member of the shogunate's upper echelon however she had her own plans. Her mother who was a Kitsune in disguise taught her how to get back at her father and play the game ultimately culminating in her blackmailing her father and removing her from the marriage pool. From there she enrolled in the Kyoto University for power users, and even graduated the University with flying colors. It wasn't until she entered Tokyo that she found her footing. With connections she made in university, her family's status and other political connections she quickly became one of the most well informed information brokers in the Tokyo underworld. Very little could happen without her or her network knowing about it, and it was never known where she was or would show up next. From banquets with diet members to meetings between yakuza clans, she could be found, playing the partygoers like the keys of a piano. Unlike most shinobi she does not sneak around under false names and faces, but rather she convinces people she always belonged there, and you owe her a bottle of wine for her gracing you with her presence.
