Reijin Saotome
Question 1: What is your character's name?
Reijin Saotome
Question 2: Character's gender
Female
Question 3: Character's age
16
Question 4: Character's cursed form, and reason for curse
Black Panther: Explaination...Reijin and her brother were on a training journey with Ryouga Hibiki, his daughter Matoko. Ryouga's sense of direction led them to cross the sea and wind up in China. The children (they were 16 at the time) didn't care, they just figured it'd be a great training journey. One night they were camping out in a forest and Reijin and Matoko awoke and got to sparring. They ended up on this cliff and after one punch led to another, winded up falling into pools. Ryouga had accidently wandered his way back to Jusenkyo. Reijin emerged a panther and her best friend crawled out as a horse.

Question 5: Character's Martial Arts Style.
Reijin's main martial arts style is Anything Goes, though her father has taught her some other forms, such as Rythmic Gymnastics and Amazon Warfare. She is eclectic in the sense of style and loves to learn anything she can and be inventive in a fight.
Question 6: A general description of the character.
Reijin Saotome has long red hair and looks a bit like her father when he was cursed. See example... As for an attitude, unfortunately this is one thing Reijin has a lot of. She has a strong sense of family honor, sometimes too strong, and will not always think before charging into battle. She angers relatively quickly but is also easily flattered. She has two hobbies at the present moment, the first (and most important in her mind) is to become good enough to take over the Saotome Dojo (formerly Tendo Dojo). Her brother, Kakedashi, wants this as well and although the two CAN get along, this is the one major problem they have for eachother. Her other "hobby" right now is to catch and keep the love of a stranger who wandered into Nerima: Hiyakubuta (Hiyaku for short). He is the son of Shinnosuke and Akari and has his own agenda for being in Nerima. Reijin loves to tease people and will frequently if she knows she can get a rise out of them. She finds particular delight in teasing her best friend, Matoko Hibiki, merely because she angers so quickly.
Question 7: The character's history.
LOL well, I guess I answered some of that in the last two questions. As for grudges, she DOES hold a particular grudge against two of the people in the Children of Nerima game...Okabuno Tendou and Copycat Keri. Okabuno because he has some odd reason to try to hurt her family, her brother and herself in particular, and Reijin won't stand for it. Keri because she copies her moves and uses them. As for a grudge against any of the regular Nerimaites, not really...they've all grown older (and wiser) and even Ranma and Ryouga are friends now (they always were, just too stubborn to admit it!)
Question 8: Special Moves.
Here's where it's gonna get tricky. As a regular martial artist does, our characters evolve and learn things...Reijin (nor any of the others yet) is not good enough to invent her own moves, although she's moving there very fast. She does have some favorites though...Hiryu Shoten Ha...by luring your opponent into a spiral you fuse your chi with theirs and send them packing ^_^. And the Kachu Tenshin Amagruiken...speed is the key here, this is basically a lot of punches aimed at a person in a very, very short time. Another of her favorites is to flip over her opponent and surprise them from the other side, always giving them time to register her appearance first, she's a very honerable martial artist.
Question 9: The Character's motivation.
She doesn't go for prizes, although she has been known to occasionally fight someone who brags about his prowess, merely to prove that he's wrong, of course. She will fight to protect her family, friends, and the dojo. She'd rather die herself then let someone harm them.

Unfortunately, there isn't one yet. Please check here later! ^_^
