Personality:
Botan, is a very straight forward woman, not liking to hide her real motives. Her actions are usually for her own benefit but, they are usually in the benefit of others as well as, she finds it hard to not help others who need her. Botan is also a strong believer in equality, not wanting men to objectify her, claiming that she is not a “prize to be sought.” She is often described as someone with sincere emotions who has a strong conviction and pride in her work.
Botan also prefers quiet atmospheres so she can stop and think clearly without distractions. With this, brings her desire to do her duty- as a Shikigami, it’s her duty to seal the Orochi as quickly as possible. Botan also enjoys her solidarity, not wanting to make too many relationships with people who won’t understand when she leaves, meaning she is often cold unintentionally.
Background:
Botan has never been human, she is a Shikigami of one of the biggest clans of the East. The only time she is summoned is when the Cursed Orochi is rising back to power however, 300 years ago, the sealing went wrong. The Orochi ate the spell, along with several swords meaning that, sealing it in the future would be impossible.
So, when the Orochi returned 300 years later, Botan was summoned but, she was useless. So, instead of staying in the East, she travelled west in order to find a way to slay the Orochi indefinitely. However, her trip West wasn’t as easy as she thought it would be, for instance, she had no idea of where to start.
However, during her travels, she heard of a place called Delumine where the king was kind, wise and well versed in his mythology. Deciding that that was the best place to start, Botan started to head towards Delumine thinking that she had maybe found the answer she was looking for. But, once she arrived, she heard the news. The King was dead and so was her hope of finding a way to slay the Orochi.
RP Sample:
Slipping off the saddle, Botan landed on her two feet with a thud in front of the Church. Patting the brown furred horse, tender fingers tied the reigns to the post before she left the streets, entering the grand church. With every step, dark purple eyes scanned the surroundings, seeing the stain glass windows glisten as the rays of sun passed through, illuminating the churches cobbled floors.
The town seemed awfully quiet today, everything that seemed off, screamed “BAD OMEN” to the woman but, this place was beautiful and peaceful. Although, that would mean something bad was surely to happen. Walking up to the front of the Church, she searched for someone to talk to- the pastor maybe? It was silent. No one was there.
All of a sudden, the woman fell to her knee’s, hands clutching her eyes as the bells chimed hastily. Botan was both confused and concerned. It was no where near the next hour meaning, something must have been happening. Standing up, she continued to cover her ears, running out of the church to find people gathering in the streets. They were talking loudly- enough so that she could hear more clearly.
They were counting the bells. As the bells continued, the faces of the crowd dropped. They were faces of inconsiderable sadness and depression. What on Earth was going on? Turning frantically, Botan tried to find some sort of clue. Seeing the heralds coming from the Castle, everyone was silenced, as if they were waiting for the official word:
"The King of Delumine is dead; there are no heirs."
