[Nakamura Reiko]

:

"I'm not copying you, you're copying you. Stop talking to yourself, now help you get up."

[Name]: Nakamura Reiko
[Age]: 28
[Gender]: Female
[Height]: 5' 11"
[Weight]: 96

[Appearance]: Nakamura Reiko

[Title]: "Number 69 of the 99 Zugaikotsu Ronin, Ear to the Emperor, Nakamura Reiko, the Ronin of Reflection."
[Number]: Number 69
[Theme]: Precognition, dopplegangers, and general mimicry. Mostly techniques intended to be passive though.
[Gikou]:

• "Good Reflexes!": Predicts basic attacks and movements seconds before they happen. At higher forms the prediction time grows longer.
  
• "Seeing Double!?": Leaves a trail of aura resembling the original user by moving at a high speed while simultaneously releasing energy that would be visually confusing to the opposition. At higher levels it creates a full copy capable of basic combat. However it is rather weak.
  
• "I Hate Mimes!": Copies and opponent's gikou and uses it against them. At a higher level of power it will actually intensify the attack of the gikou when using it against an enemy.
  
• "What Are You Doing Here!?": Creates a false image around the user of someone close or familiar to the opposition, that will lull them into a false sense of security, giving the user a chance to escape or attack while the enemy is stunned. At higher levels it creates a false image anywhere with the ability to alter the image to the user's preference.
  
• "How Did You Know I Was Gonna Do That?": Predicts the foes next complicated move shortly before it can be preformed.
  
• "I See That You Brought Some Friends...": Creates up to ten sophisticated dopplegangers capable of complex assault and use of gikou. They are rather tough and stand up to as much damage as the average human.
  

[Weapon]:
-Furui-Akuma Katana; Niyori (Similarity). A simple wakizashi in a black sheath with yellow leather wrapped around the hilt. The handgaurd is oval with to rounded protrusions on either side of the blade and two notches in front and behind the blade.
-Joushou-Seiryoku Katana; Rukku-Tomoni (Look-Alike). An average Katana with a long flowing yellow ribbon attached to the hilt, measuring about three feet long. The grip and handgaurd remain unchanged however. The sheath shrinks to a black cylinder only about a foot long that is open at both ends.
-Tenrai-Seiitsu Katana; Seimitsu Seisatsu (Exact Reflection). A katana with a long wavy blade. The hilt is longer then in previous forms but still retains the same handguard and yellow dyed leather grips. However, the number of tassels has been doubled to a pair of long yellow ribbons.

[Personality]: Reiko is a fairly complex individual who's personality changes depending on who she is around. A strange condition where she mirrors the attitude of whoever she is around. If she is around someone who is very irritable, she will be very annoyed. If she is around someone who is full of pride and very arrogant, she will be as well. She is skilled at mimicing a large variety of mannerisms and attitudes. Despite her position in the Zugaikotsu Ronin, not many people take her seriously because of how she seems to be a reflection of others, personality wise. When around groups of multiple people, she will take on the attitude of who seems to be in charge or the most respected. She is very open minded and can accept many views and often finds herself in an internal conflict, trying to decide who to side with. She is very skilled in the arts of disguise, subterfuge, and stealth.

[History]: Reiko brought into the world as the twice-removed great-niece of one of the city's head-councilman. While her place in the city's hierarchy was intended to be the wife of some man in a politically advantageous position to further her own family's gains, she was always more interested in heroic adventures with valiant samurai, dashingly-handsome and honorable ronin-bandits, and stealthy shinobi. The change of her lifetime came around when a General related to her mother came to stay at their household. Every night he would go into the courtyard and train. One night, Reiko discovered his nocturnal practice and decided to copy his motions in secret. After some time she devoted more time to blending in with people going in to the local military academy. She would hide and watch other soldiers train, and she would copy their motions as well. When she grew old enough, she requested entry into the ilitary, despite her family's disappointment. Her skill always seemed to catch the eye of the right person at the right time so she quickly swelled through the ranks. Even she grew suspicious, and one night she used the talent for stealth and mimicry she had gained and almost made it to her destination when she was caught and brought before the man in charge of the city's entire military. Her subterfuge earned her a spot in a special program designed to train special bodyguards for the emperor. Although she was intended to be in Squad 7 as a basic foot-soldier, things got mixed around and the order was changed around within the ranks of the 99 Zugaikotsu Ronin. Why, because her family decided to support her choice and without her knowledge or consent made a few bribes and put their daughter in a most influential place. That place being the head of one of the most dangerous handful of soldiers in the known world, and right in the palace with the emperor whispering into her ear.
