RELATED NOTES
Journal Page taken from previous Bell Hashira, dated before his death: "Once, I had assumed that the infliction on her body was a twisted omen to be feared. I had thought her pale features would hold her back from becoming a true demon slayer. I was wrong, but I could never admit that to her. No, her temperament, her quiet kindness hiding years of frustration, it all reminds me of her mother. She who I have done the most irremediable things to. [...] Mitsu surpases me even now. Despite everything. I only pray that she lives long enough to see a new, fulfilling dawn."
Demon Slayer Corp. document on Ms. Kaneko: "Immediate transfer to Hashira Rank requested. Kaneko Mitsu has shown great talent and sacrifice in the name of humanity. Will be a welcoming addition to the most elite."
Demon Slayer Corp. document on Ms. Kaneko, dated four years later: "It is with great sadness to reveal that Kaneko Mitsu's health has deteriorated beyond medical help. As always, she is a talented slayer and dedicated to the cause. If she is asked to fight, she will do so without hesitation. At this time, it is suggested to only send her on specialized missions with the knowledge that it may end her life. We would like to keep her as an asset to the corporation at this time, much to her frustration."

Before the Demon Corps
Before the Demon Corps
Upon her birth, Mitsu's father had abandoned his family. Vanished without word or trace. His disappearance was blamed on infant Mitsu's bizarre complexion, something Mitsu damns him for to this day. If not for his thoughtless behavior, she may have had a chance at living a better life.
Mitsu's mother turned to working in the red-light district when their savings had dried up. If it meant she could get enough money for her daughter to thrive, so be it. It was dangerous work, but it was better than rotting away due to a man's negligence.
Despite her mother's efforts, this new environment was unkind to children like Mitsu. Even as a child, she was consistently at risk due to her 'unnatural complexion' as someone with albinism. There also wasn't much room to simply be a child. Mitsu had lost some of her fingers quite young, caught a sickness where medicine wasn't readily available. Men were thirsty for her unique look and often made attempts to trick her into their possession. Mitsu had to grow up fast to survive.
Things were not all terrible, thankfully. The working ladies loved taking care of young Mitsu. Viewed the small child as their own. They also cherished her mother's strong will to keep Mitsu safe. After all, most of these working women had been mothers at one point. Mitsu's family grew with all the men and women who worked alongside her mother.
Then came the day where Mitsu's mother was murdered by a jealous man. Not uncommon for someone of her status, but devastating all the same. And, of course, there was still a debt to be paid. With her mother gone, Mitsu had no income. So she took her mother's place, allowing herself to become a courtesan. Which, in the end, had saved her life.
Due to her complexion, she was highly sought after. She ascended ranks, became a prize that few men could afford. Mitsu also became a loving beacon to those under her wing. With kindness and love, she shared her newfound wealth with those who needed it most. Mitsu would often risk her life to keep these young girls safe.
Shortly after turning 17, Mitsu's father had found her with a single request. Return home with him, and he'll make her into a Demon Slayer.
Mitsu Kaneko agreed, leaving behind the red light district for good. But not for him. Never for him. This was for herself and for her mother, who suffered due to his cowardly actions.

Among the Demon Corps
Becoming a weapon against evil wasn't easy, but the hard work was satisfying. Mitsu even seemed to have a natural talent of picking up weaknesses in her rivals. It took time, but eventually Mitsu became comfortable wielding a weapon.
She excelled at her father's breathing style. Bell Breathing. A unique style that was only a few generations old. It was a sword style that utilized a rhythm and spiritualism. And of all the things she inherited from her father, this was the one she truly loved.
Some years later, her father died. A demon caught him unawares. There was no body to bury. Even after all the time she spent following him on missions, she found that she could not mourn for him. Her hatred of the man ran far deeper than any sort of familial bond.
With his death came two things. His title as Hashira, since she was already a better demon slayer than he could ever dream of being. And an ancient mansion atop a wide plot of overgrown land. It seemed her father inherited it some time ago himself, but had forgotten it after becoming a Hashira. Mitsu found a sense of kinship with this grand house after realizing that.
The mansion lay derelict. Nearly consumed by spiders and other feral creatures. There were some traces of a family that Mitsu assumed she was related to, but anything inside was far too gone to keep. The only thing worth taking note of was the wild wisteria that grew at the far edges of the land. Beautiful, even without experienced hands caring for them. Wisteria that could easily be used by the Demon Corps.
Not wanting the land to go to waste, Mitsu spent her entire savings on restoring the mansion and gardens. And with her father's savings, she bought out the debt of her courtesan sisters. Hired them as grounds workers, maids, and cleaners. Gave them a new life away from the corruption of the red light district.
Over time, the wisteria gardens flourished. Providing enough goods for an entire year, which Mitsu sold directly to the Ubuyashiki family. And with the money made off the gardens, Mitsu was able to create a boarding house out of the mansion.
Her farm became a beacon for women running from their abusers or running from the courtesan lifestyle. Mitsu's farm would help these young women learn how to work, and eventually, be able to fend for themselves in the outside world.
Unfortunately, Mitsu would retire as a Hashira at the age of 29. Her albinistic condition had weakened her immune system so severely, she was at risk of death from sickness alone. She spends her days caring for the young women on the farm and helping out weary Demon Slayers.

WEAPONS AND ABILITIES
tw . violence & implied death .
Breathing Style : BELL BREATHING. TWO GENERATIONS OLD.
Description . A unique style of breathing that only has three total forms. Each stronger than the last. It is a symbolic fighting style meant to calm one's mind, ward off evil, and pray to the gods. To her, it is a dance of purity. Something she hangs onto during the hardest trials.
First Form . Kagura Suzu. Begins with a calm step forward and into a prone position. She takes a knee, breathes in, and juts upright. A slash that starts from bottom to top, and then back down again. She twists the blade at the highest and lowest point of her swing. This is an attack for a single opponent.
Second Form . Keisu. A call to the living and the dead. A performance that lets Mitsu spin once before striking her opponent so hard, it sends a devastating shockwave around her. Occasionally, she can control the path of the shockwave. This often does not kill a demon outright, but it can incapacitate more than one. It also gives Mitsu room to move.
Third Form . Bonshō . Her strongest attack, but also the most difficult one. Mitsu is only able to pull off this attack by clearing her mind of all temptation and distraction. Any pain, any emotions, and any thoughts must be ignored. Only then is she able to perform a heavy, circular attack. If there is any hesitation, her attack will not complete the full circle. If her concentration is good enough, she can complete two circles.
Notes : After performing a successful attack and killing a demon, Mitsu will often pray. This is a spiritual experience for her. Each attack, the world falls silent as the bell tolls. She wears some of the Kagura Suzu bells on her person.
General Weaknesses . Other than her overall weakness and near blindness, her breathing style often left room for enemy attacks. More often than not, she must put herself in harm's way to perform these attacks. There's also a reason why her father died to a demon, as these attacks are quite basic and simple compared to the newest hashira.

Carys "Mink" Erynbriar
------------------------------------------------------------------------
age:60 . race:half-elf. pronouns:she/her . sexuality:bisexual
class:druid . subclass:circle of spores type:healer
Disposition . independent , stubborn , and full of joy. Used to being on her own and depending on her own skills for survival. Advocates peace above fighting, but only because she's inexperienced with the ways of battle. Easily laughs and smiles, finds beauty in everything. A little socially awkward, perhaps due to being on her own for so long. Eager to learn and understand. Horribly impulsive, tends to say what she's thinking even if the situation definitely does not call for it. Anxious in crowds and shared areas. Deathly afraid of death and crowds. Takes a long time to recover from being sick.
RELATED NOTES
mild tw : death mention
Page in a druid's journal from the Emerald Grove. It is written in elvish. : The rogue druid has finally come to our camp. An anomaly. [Erynbriar] never strayed too close to the circle and offers for her to join us were denied time and time again. Yet here she is, among the refugees treating their most wounded. Kagha believes [Erynbriar] is scheming at something, but I cannot fathom what that might be. Erynbriar doesn't even use our rescources, she always brings her own.
An unsent letter, folded twice over. The handwriting looks as though it was written by a weak hand. "My daughter, my little mink. My love for her swells as I lay dying in a bed of moss and soft rush. Even now, I am beyond the help of a healer, but she caters to all my ailments regardless, She is a true beacon of kindness."
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
tw : implied abuse / neglect . implied death and sickness . mental illness .
For a time, Mink was a citizen of Baldur's Gate. Barely. A little scrap of a child, living in poverty with her negligent and debt-ridden father. With having nowhere to go, she was often stuck with him through all his money making schemes. Often used as a prop to strike at the hearts of those passing by, just so they could get away with begging for a few extra scraps of cash. More often than not, she was also sick, which her father used to their advantage. People often wanted to help a hurt child, but that money never went toward Mink's health. Not with her Father's money hungry attitude.
During her 8th year, her sickness became so severe Mink was on death's door. Unable to keep conciousness for more than a few minutes at a time. It was a horrible expierence, and Mink prayed to have her torment end soon. The god's, thankfully, answered her prayers. An elven druid happened to be in Baldur's Gate for a short trip, and almost immediately caught sight of the dying child. Without a moments hesitation, the druid purchased Mink. Gave whatever the hell her father wanted at that time- just so Mink could survive another day.
The two of them vanished back into the wilds of the Emerald Grove where the druid nursed Mink back to health. It was a miracle that Mink managed to survive at all.
As her body grew stronger, something curious happened to Mink. The forests greenery and wildlife was reactive to Mink's touch. Often leaning in to her presence, as though she were a true child of the wood. Mink had the makings of a druid, something completely unseen in the green-less streets of Baldur's Gates. So, she was made into an apprentice.
Oh and how she flourished. Her eagerness to learn and become something greater had pushed her past any expectations her master had. Mink was incredible and so, so talented. During this time, she was offered to live among the druids at the center of the grove, but Mink's hesitance was enough for the two of them to continue living alone.
Some years later, as Mink became a fully realized druid, her master had passed away. Her adoptive mother. The pain was great and Mink spent a very long time mourning alone, tucked away in the darker corners of the shack.
Even after her mourning, Mink did not travel beyond the garden walls. She was anxious, unsure of what lay out there for a singular druid who had nothing but herself. That isolation, however, was interupted by the arrival of the refugee tieflings.
A few had landed on her doorstep after getting lost in the wood. They were sick and starving, barely coherent in their pain. Without question she cared for them, housed them in her shack until they were strong enough to walk by themselves. When they asked her to help their fellow refugees, she agreed without complaint. Although, it scared her beyond beliefe.
They were staying with the druids, who Mink rarely kept in contact with. No, who Mink was AFRAID OF. If not for Halsin's warm welcome, she may have convinced herself to return home without helping them. From that point on, she kept only to herself and to helping the refugees.
Notes : Kagha almost threw her out during Halsin's imprisonment. Takes a risk and joins Tav's party as a 'doctor' after she witnesses the goblins attack the camp.

SKILLS, ABILITIES, MICS.
Abilities . A healer and alchemist. Not a fighter, although she knows some good defensive spells. She can also swing her staff as hard as she can in hopes of hitting something. Her magic is best suited for summoning help and healing her party mates. Can make the best damned potions and elixirs on the planet. Has some nasty tricks up her sleeve when it comes to grenades and poisons. Can identify any mushroom by smell alone.Wild Shape . The animal most true to her heart is the mink, hence her nickname. This is her go-to and the animal she is most in-tune wtih. If the situation calls for it, she is able to turn into a rabbit, a fox, and a cat as well.
Familiar . A spell gone wrong has created a flying frog. It is useless in all aspects, but it is deeply loved by Mink. It cannot fly very well but it does what it can. When summoned, it likes to stick to the mossy patches on her cloak. Mink has named it Bugjuice.
Fear of Undead . Due to her constant sickness as a child, Mink had fevered visions of the dead killing her in her sleeps. As a result, she is petrified at all things undead. Zombies, ghosts, and everything else makes her shut down completely.
Fear of Crowds . Being used as a prop by her father has forced her to become horribly anxious in crowds. Cannot handle all eyes being on her.

Efa "Finnegan" Took
------------------------------------------------------------------------
race:halfling / hobbit . pronouns:she/her . occupation:barmaid
Disposition . Mouthy, brash, and eager to prove herself. She's very kind, quick to make friends, and happy to be in all sorts of unique company. Stubborn and sometimes cocky. Never cruel, always willing to support those around her. Very good at pretending she didn't leave an entire life behind. Impulsive to the point of naivety.
Physical Description . As with most hobbits, she's round and somewhat squishy. Has her mother's wide hips but her father's shortness. Also her father's wild hair and thick brows. Full of freckles and warm colors. She's a tiny thing, easily mistaken for a human child. As 'Finnegan' she wears loose clothing to hide all curves, binds her breasts, and keeps her face and hair dirty to hide away her feminine features. Trims her hair to keep it boyish. Stands up straight as if to mimic a man's physique.

Brief summary of Efa written by Bilbo Baggins : "Quite the adventurous sort, even when we were young. Bold as a man who marches to war. Stubborn as a dwarf buying a new pair of boots. She never truly grew up, even as I moved on to a more humble life in Bag End."
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
There was nothing truly remarkable in Efa Took's life that was worth noting. Which may have been the drive for her brash personality and eagerness to find new adventures.
Efa was a distant cousin of Bilbo, and being only a few years apart in age, they were fast friends. Efa took the role as little sister quite eagerly, but found that it was often her that led the charge forward. Just like him, she wanted to see the elves, take part in epic battles, and slay evil beasts.
Unfortunately, Bilbo grew up before she did. In fact, everyone grew up before Efa did. When women her age began looking for husbands or careers, she was still dreaming of going on epic adventures. Suitors were always denied and she was often full of excuses about finding a comfortable job for herself.
It took half of her family to finally demand that she straighten herself out before she was penniless and starving. Efa was hit with a cold reality that The Shire was, well . . . it. This was it. Nothing more than a peaceful town with simple pleasures and easy living. Not to mention that a small female hobbit like herself couldn't truly be happy beyond The Shire.
Dreams of adventure now tucked away with her childhood, Efa began a new life as a barmaid and part-time chef for the local pub. She was good at it and the pay was decent. Her father even arranged a marriage on her behalf, but also because almost all the local boys had been rejected by her more than once.
Life was perfectly laid out for Efa Took. She had a chance at a perfectly normal and completely predictable life.
The night Thorin and company came to visit Bilbo, however, her entire world changed. A company of dwarves and one wizard, making a ruckus at Bag End while the rest of the Shire slept the night away. And by morning, she watched as her cousin ran headfirst into a quest alongside his odd guests. It was something unexpected, it was something she had always dreamed of.
Efa would later realize that Gandalf had chosen him, indirectly, to help the dwarves reclaim their homeland. But at the time, she was so angry. Wasn't it Bilbo that told her to grow up? Why was he given the chance and not her?Was it her womanhood? Her cozy life? Was she not enough?
Impulsively, and out of pure frustrated jealousy, Efa trailed the company. As expected, she was caught within three days of their adventure. A true miracle considering the other dangers that followed Thorin and Company. Almost immediately they wanted to send her home, but she was not about to allow that.
Without really putting much thought into the plan at first, Efa said she was a boy and wanted to 'keep Bilbo safe'. Which got a hefty laugh out of the dwarves, much to her frustration. They asked if she could fight, she said no. They asked if she could wield any kind of weapon, she said no. They asked what she could do and she really didn't have an answer. Being someone's bride-to-be while wasn't exactly going to help in this situation.
Bilbo, however, spoke up for her. She could cook the meanest stew in all the land. She could entertain dragons with her bar tricks and stories. She knew the difference between mushrooms that you could and couldn't eat. And then Bilbo solidified her new name. He almost called her out, but changed the name Efa into Eff-inagain. E. Finnegan Took. Gandalf, Thorin, and a couple of the dwarves immediately knew it was a huge lie.
Despite that, they allowed her to stay for a few nights with the intention of sending 'Finnegan' on his way home after a short rest. Then they tried his cooking, which truly was the best they ever had. They also heard him tell stories around the campfire, which enthralled their attention away from their aches and pains. And, unexpectedly, it turns out he was good at patching up wounds. Finnegan was no burglar like Bilbo, but his usefulness to the company was enough for them to allow him to stay.
Even if Thorin and Gandalf were unsure about the whole situation. Though both may have warmed up to Finnegan's eagerness to actually keep Bilbo safe.

SKILLS, ABILITIES, MISC.
Abilities . Charismatic and an expert at talking her way out of things. Slim and small, can easily run away from danger as needed. Afraid, yes, but not cowardly. Good with herbs and medicines. Great at stitching up both clothes and wounds.
Weapons . In an effort to keep Finnegan alive, some of the dwarves taught him to wield an axe. Not a battle axe, but a small single handed axe. It was hard work but Finnegan found it satisfying. They were gaining muscle!

( written by lilium97 for 'meet me on the equinox' thread. )
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Ada Matsushita was born in Sweden, but due to her father wishing to return to his own homeland, was raised in Japan from a young age. While she finds pride in having ancestry in Sweden, she views Japan as her only home and has no plans on leaving it behind. Other than that, Ada's life had always been relatively normal. She grew up with a prominent non-hero quirk that led her on the right path in life. There was no question about who she was meant to be. Perhaps not a pro-hero, but someone who could help those in need all the same.
She graduated both high school and college with flying colors, allowing her to be spotted by both a well known hero-support guild and a the top mental health facility in Japan. Ada became an expert in her field with helping both heroes and non heroes alike. Which quickly led to her being hired by U.A. when they saw her skills as both a teen and adult therapist.
And for 12 years, she's been helping both students and faculty members while employed by U.A. Be it the stress of their next exam or simply helping those struggling through the troubles of being a hero. Ada was even allowed to live on-campus when the students were required to as well, giving her the opportunity to truly help those who needed it.
Ada is fully rooted in all the school events of U.A. and is often the first to volunteer. A prominent figure who opens her arms to all.
ABILITIES & MISC
Quirk . Ada's quirk is rather simple but very effective with helping others. She is able to accurately read and experience the emotions of others within range, as well as project her own emotions onto others (willing or not).
Due to her line of work, Ada has better and more precise control of her power. That, and reading the emotions of too many people will oftentimes overwhelm her body- making her sick. Ada has gotten better about projecting her own emotions but they tend to slip every now and then.
Depending on the mood Ada is in, or the mood of the person she is reading, her right eye will change color. ( The blue one in the image below ). Much like a mood ring. Its common for that eye to rapidly switch between colors when she's deep in thought. ( Ex. Shades of red could mean anger or love, depending on the hue. Happiness could be shades of yellow and orange. Etc. Etc. )
Working for U.A. . Ada is both a guidance counselor and a professional therapist. Her office is open to anyone who needs it, including U.A. staff. Ada has hired two other workers to help her with day to day tasks, but for the most part, Ada is the lead in her department. She always makes herself available for weekends.

MISC. INFORMATION
➥ Ada currently lives alone with two cats in a one bedroom apartment. Her two cats are calicos with stubby tails named Noodle and Jelly.
➥ Sometimes she'll project the emotions she feels during sleep, which often drives off friends and lovers from staying over at her place.
➥ Her sister, and closest friend, Tindra Hosokaya, is happily married, currently pregnant, and working as a nurse for the elderly. Her quirk is somewhat similar to her sister but instead of emotions, it is physical sensations. She can sense what is making someone ache and effectively help them ease that pain. She's often quick to criticize Ada for being too invested in work instead of family.
➥ Ada's grandparents are retired and living in a quiet section of Sweden. Neither were heroes, and neither were their parents- as far as Ada knows. The only current hero in her family is her Aunt, but only in Germany. She's known as the Starlit Shield and has a unique quirk of blocking telepathic attacks.

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
tw . implied kidnapping / psych torture
Silversun, before her fateful encounter with Dio, was an up-and-coming TV journalist and investigator. An American icon who was just beginning to make a name for herself. Quick witted, keen and stubborn as a mule, she was always on the hunt for the next big headline. And when rumors of something worth investigating in Egypt came up, she was on the next flight over without question.
In the end, this would be a near fatal mistake. During her first week in Egypt, Silv was kidnapped. Charted off to Dio's mansion as sacrificial fodder. American blood was something he rarely got to feast on, and she would make a tasty meal if not for the first glimmers of her stand.
Dio's fangs were on her neck when he saw it. The beginning of its creation while she was on death's door. That was enough to change Silversun's fate as the vampire lord decided he could make use of her newfound power instead.
Over the course of a year, Silversun was subjected to many, many horrors. All of which was directed by Dio and his underhands. He broke her down using fear until she was too afraid to disobey. Too afraid to act out. Too afraid to fail him. Her spark died, and she became a pawn of his creation. No tentacle brainwashing needed.
When the Joestar crew appeared on the continent, Dio decided to make use of her stand's newfound power. She would infiltrate the group, become part of their little party and gain their trust. She would pinpoint their weaknesses, sabotage their bonds from the inside. Making it all the easier for Dio's other minions to put a stop to the crusaders.

ABILITIES & MISC
Stand Summary . When activated, she will tie her hair up to look professional and use a much more stern tv-personality voice, as though she is announcing the news on live television.
Chalice 5 News or sometimes referred to as simply "Chalice 5" is about pinpointing weaknesses. Through their personality, their physique, or their fighting techniques. Silversun will 'report' this weakness to the camera and, temporarily, make this weakness more prominent. This ability extends toward items and things as well, like the structure of a building or the beginnings of mold on fruit. Her 'report' will cause the building to officially collapse or the fruit to grow an absurd amount of mold. Not so much of a stand that's meant to fight in combat but to impede progress / support other stands.
Each camera lens represents one of the five cups in the tarot. Symbolism for 'eyes peering into the soul'. The fifth lens is located in her eye ONLY when her stand is activated. Her weakness detection only works if she can see something and cannot bring things into existence.
As said, this isn't a strong stand. It's better at evading and using the environment to its advantage. Victims must be in eyesight for her stand to work. Blinding her will blind all the cameras as well.

MISC. INFORMATION
➥ Silv is straight up so afraid of the crusaders she fails miserably at doing what Dio wants. Like, it's almost humorous at how bad she is pretending to not be an infiltrator. Jotaro pretty much knows right away that somethings up and would kick her miserable ass out if not for the others being convinced she needs guidance.
➥ In the end, the bond she creates with the joestar group outshines her fear of Dio. ( at least this is my intention, I think her love for her crush also helps with that ).
➥ Silv is afraid of the dark for how often she was left in pitch darkness as a scare tactic by Dio. Sleeps with at least one light on at night. If possible.
➥ Can read five books in one sitting if given the chance. Any books on any topic.
