Appearance:
Kawazu is a female of six feet and one inches in height, with a slender yet - underneath her clothing - very toned build, having honed her body over the years to become a force to be reckoned with, she has light toned skin and dark pink eyes that would nearly appear red under certain lighting conditions, her hair is a matching shade of pink that has two buns on either side of the head that are secured with a white covering made of cloth, along with a small red bow on each. Her clothing appears to be traditional Chinese in nature, with a white undershirt, red apron-styled over dress with branch designs, complete with a rose just above the breast to accentuate the attire. Furthermore, she wears a long green skirt that goes to her knees, flowing as she moves and making it easy to maneuver even in the amount of fabric she wears all while appearing very modest and unrevealing, below the shirt she wears long white thigh-highs that end in a pair of traditional slippers, thus completing her usual outfit.

It is of note, however, that at times she will wear instead another type of dress which would have a small opening on the centre of the breast and long, flowing sleeves that would nearly cover the wearers hands, the dress would be tied at the waist on one side, while the other has a long and flowing piece of fabric that covers her other half, the thigh-highs and slippers remain unchanged even in this outfit, although. while this is not her traditional attire, she may wear such an outfit when wishing to be more casual or to make a different first impression.

Aside from her clothing, there is one final remark to be made about her appearance that is noticeable upon first seeing her: Kawazu has a large bandage which goes from her right shoulder all the way to, and covering, the hand in order to protect anyone that she wishes to interact with from her devastating Devil-Fruit abilities, seeing as the palms are the catalyst for them.
She does not, however, cover both arms and only does the one so that she is never truly without her powers if she so wished to use them.

Tattoo:
Underneath her clothing, she has tattoos of long rose-branches with thorns covering them that would go all along her sides and up to her neck and down to her waist, stopping at each before they go further and allow them to be concealed by her clothing without others being able to notice, these tattoos having a symbolic meaning behind them that Kawazu does not typically divulge to those she does not know well.

Personality:
Kawazu has trained from an early age to hone both her body and mind to its fullest and as such, she does not typically deviate from her calm and somewhat stone-cold behavior that she would normally exude both toward allies an enemies. This is not to say, however, that she is unfeeling - In-fact quite the opposite. She is able to use this trained demeanor in order to remain calm and access situations that are dire in nature, making her both a wonderful strategist as well as a negotiator of sorts, being able to calm both sides of an argument if given proper time.

Aside from her calm outward behavior, Kawazu has a very analytic and somewhat cynical mind, meaning that she will be often scrutinize another's words or actions before accepting them as truth, as she views it foolish to take anyone at face value, no matter who or what they are. When and if she is angered however, Kawazu will almost certainly lose her analytic nature and instead focus purely on her gut instinct, which can be both a blessing and a curse. She has been known on several occasions to take another's insult to heart and react on her instinct which, usually, is to resolve the matter with a swift punch or kick. - It is of note that she does not typically resort to violence unless the matter is deathly serious, either to her or someone she trusts in deeply.

Lastly, it is notable that in terms of her interactions with others that Kawazu has not had much social interaction aside from those she had met during her time training in a shrine meant for spiritual worship, thus she can be a bit awkward in dragged into such a situation and unprepared, although her typical calm and reserved nature can sometimes aide her with this, saving her from the embarrassment of being incompetent in interacting with strangers, though this is not always the case.


Likes:
- Training
- Flowers of any type, although especially fond of Roses.
- The calmness of the open sea

Dislikes:
- Those who devote themselves to nothing
- Crowded spaces
- Violence for the sake of violence.

Motivations:
To hone herself to the best of her own ability, and to travel the seas in search of those she can train with or battle to test her own strength. She hopes to one day become powerful enough to take on even the fabled Pirate King, along with the World Government in it's entirety.

Fears:
- Drowning
- Death
- One day becoming unable to stop her own power.


Inner Lineage:
Kawazu has come from a long line of worshipers to an ancient and sometimes hated Cult that followed the commands of an ancient spirit known simply as The Darkness along with its right-hand, a Spirit Blade that held immense power in another world. The cult in question that Kawazu's family had been a part of had even been rumored to perform human sacrifices and chant ancient hymns that were blasphemous toward the shrine that Kawazu would later serve during her early childhood, as a side-effect of this cursed bloodline, it has given the woman several distinct additions to her aesthetic appearance:

For one, during the night-time a thin film of black aura will cover her and her eyes will take on a darker, red color that would also emit a faint glow to further accentuate her family's allegiance, this also gives her the ability to communicate with - but not to control - anything that is "Dark" in nature, and at times blood will leak from her eyes like tears, though this is very rare. As a final addition to this lineage, it is of note that this does not necessarily mark Kawazu as "Evil" but instead introduces the stigma of her family's past for her to overcome, thus making things a bit more interesting in terms of development.
