Character Details

Powers

Name	Magnitude	Prowess	Source	Range	Details
Umbrakinesis	Regional	Skilled	Mutant Gene	10ft	She can gather and control shadows. This, she can use to cover herself like a body-cloak, though she appears as a human-figured moving sillouette. She can also gather it in an area and channel it, to build an bubble of pure darkness. Right now, to maintain such an area, she has to remain still. If she is moved (Ie: Tackled, etc.), the bubble would cease. She cannot create shadows, only use those already present. Her shadows cannot harm; they are after all, just shadows. In time, she may learn to harden and focus the shadows as negative energy to create projectiles. She will also eventually be able to summon and create her own darkness/shadows for her own use.
Shadow Step	Regional	Skilled	Mutant Gene	20ft	She can use shadows to move distances and evade harm or attempt surprise attacks. She cannot create shadows for this purpose and has to use shadows already present. She cannot use her own shadow if standing; (IE: If she were to lift her foot to 'step' onto a shadow, then the shadow would move!), If she is laying on the ground, etc, then she could 'fall' into her own shadow. Once in the 'shadow realm', as she calls it, she can stay there for a temporary time; generally a few minutes at a time. If she is carrying another person through a shadow, however, the movement has to be instanteous as she cannot maintain two presences between shadows. If she is caught in the shadow realm, (IE: She disappears in a shadow and lights bright enough to chase away shadows are turned on), she can become trapped. This can deal to dire ill effects on her person, physically and mentally. At present she can only travel roughly 20 feet in any direction from shadow to shadow. This could increase with proper training and discipline.

Skills

Name	Magnitude	Prowess	Details
Pick-Pocket	Local	Skilled	She's had to make a hard living off of the misfortune of others, and she's accredited to at least being a skillful pick-pocket to get by.
Street Fighting	Local	Skilled	Having to learn the hard way, Miyuki has had to learn how to defend herself and get away. She is never out to kill, and so far has been able to avoid it. She does however know how to disable and escape! This can be aided by her three blades that she keeps on her person at all times. She's not afraid to hurt you if she needs to get away.
Bar Tending	Local	Basic	She is a decent bar tender, at least she doesn't get the orders wrong very often. And at least it keeps her out of trouble! ….. Pfft. Yeah right!

Effects

Name	Type	Details
Light	Flaw	Light expels shadows and that registers her abilities null until she is able to create her own shadows. Shadows disappearing before she can reappear from between the shadows can also trap her there.
Gambit	Flaw	She has made it a point not to make attachments to people, but she has made one with Gambit. She is far from exclusive, but as her 'savior' and mentor, she holds a special fondness for him. He could also just as easily be her undoing.
Survivalist	Benefit	Having spent so much time having to fend for herself and survive off the misfortune of others, she's learned to take care of herself. Adapt, overcome … and run away!
Flighty	Flaw	She's not the type to generally face problems head on, especially if she's alone. She's not generally used to working with a team either. She's more apt to run and dodge fights if she can help it.
Morality	Flaw	Generally, she'll leave people to their own devices and their own trouble. She does tend to enjoy benefiting off of other's misfortune. If someone is in real distress… she MIGHT help. Maybe.

Background

Born in Urasoe, Okinawa, Japan;Masumoto Miyuki was the daughter of a well-off Doctor for a father and a house-wife Mother. She was an only child, and a rather spoiled one at that. Prep schools, cram schools, everything by a silver spoon. That is, until Miyuki's 10th birthday. It was a disaster to say the least, as Miyuki suddenly started calling the shadows and freaked out her parents. They were an old, traditional Japanese family, and her parents really didn't know how to handle this. They had their reputations to protect and their social responsibilities. Far more important than their 'freak' child, unfortunately. Miyuki was just as easily shamed from the family and sent to the streets as if she didn't exist.

She took the name 'Hotaru', meaning Darkness, and had to quickly learn to make a life for herself, but she did have some help. For three years, she stole, cheated and lied to survive. It quickly became a second-nature habit. She wasn't on the streets but a week before a young woman found her- also a mutant; Kokeshi Yensi. Yensi took her under her wing and taught her how to survive on the streets. Especially the womanly charm, though Miyuki was still a bit too young to use that! Her fondness for Yensi and closeness as a sister, Miyuki shunned her last name and adopted hers.

She was still quite young at 13 when she was pulled into this strange new world. She was dropped on the streets in Crossroads, and again, she was on her own. She fended for herself, made some friends in the dark, and almost got herself killed a number of times. Her ability to slip away was rather well used. She has since made some new friends, and after being saved and taken under a wing, joined a legitimate (or not so much) guild of thieves. Oh what trouble she can create now!
