Poison Flower Claw: This is a claw attack that has deadly poison in it.

Whiptail Slash: They send out big long whips of energy to slap around the opponent.

Weapon: A Snapped Beaded Necklace (Also known as the Hebi no Kiba ((Snake Fang))

From a normal view, it looks like a regular large beaded necklace, but with touched by the user's blood, turns into a *3 segmented sword that has a maximum reach of about **4-5 feet beyond the tip of the blade when extended. Stronger than normal steel.

*Form 1:: Three Bladed Sword connected together, fights as a normal sword, blade is about 4 feet long.

**Form 2:: Hebi no Kiba, the three segmented blade extends out as a sword/whip combo, can wrap around objects and opponents, maximum reach of about 8-9 feet, retracts after each full extention with slight cool down time (time before it can be slashed again safely).

Special 1: Kamisori no Kiwa (Razor's Edge) - The blade snakes forward at fast speed and is unpredictable, even by the user as it strikes randomly acrossed the body like a snake striking at it's victim.

Special 2: Hana no Ryuuki (Flower's Rising) - The blade is slashed forward, surrounding the opponent before it completely breaks apart, whirling around the opponent slashing into them before the hilt of the sword is pulled upward and the sword returns to it's normal shape. Has a little extra cool down time from the extention and retraction.

Background: (Has no effect on character, simply story/background of before the character is introduced)

"I guess you could say that everything was normal, atleast to the extent that normal could be said on a normal new years day in Tokyo. I've always felt withdrawn from my family, my mother and father, as well as the many cousins that I had. I felt that I was different in some way...in the case of that, it could easily be said that I was adopted. But even though they were still my family, even though not by blood...I still felt a reverence...and a constant annoyance around the crowds of people on family occassions, and even in the city. I knew that I was different..and I felt a sort of pride deep down inside because of that...but still it felt like my neck was being strangled at the same time....as if something was holding me back....like a dog chained in a collar that needed a little loosening to get out. Anyways, my family always celebrated my birthday on new years day, and like all families we went to shrines to pay homage to the gods and our ancestors, how stupid it may be to pull on a bell and clap your hand twice, but forgive me, i'm trailing off. Anyways, since this shrine was the closest by, we have always visited the Higurashi shrine. Some say that it's haunted by a lost shrine maiden, but I think thats a loud of bull. Anyways, as we approached the shrine, I felt a pull on my neck, my eyes trailing acrossed a small barred off shrine on the outside of the courtyard. Being transfixed and drawn to it, I slowly unbarred and opened it. The further I went in, the tighter the grip on my neck, until I finally stood over the the pit that was once an old well. And then suddenly it happened, I felt the life being pulled out of me, as I fell forward and down the well. My eyes closed, fearing that I would slam down into the ground, and yet I didn't. The pain shot up my spine as the grip dug deep into my neck until it shattered, a weight blowing off of my chest as I screamed out, falling unconscious among my screams. Still though, as I layed down on the bottom of the well, the sunlight shining from above, I felt a heart beat that wasn't like my own...no...it was my own....it seemed as if the collar had finally come off..and now I was like a wild dog...back home where I belonged".

There was a tradition to see the worthiness of a demon child in a particular clan apon reaching a certain age, the neck was bound by a beaded necklace enchanted by most likely a sorceress, as well as the rumour that it's power to seal demon energy was due to being bathed in the light of a shard of the Shikon no Tama. The child would then be placed in well, where it would plunge into a world free of the monstrous demons of the past, and live as seemingly as a normal human child would. There, it would grow until about 15 years or so in age, until it would be tugged toward the direction of the same well, and plunged into it. On doing this, the bead necklace would break away from the neck, all the energy held by it flowing into the child at once, all 15 years worth of it's own youki. If it survived this sudden forceful pulse, it would become a demon once more as it was born, as was the right of those born from the clan years ago.
