-Type: Katana and short sword
-Attacks:

Speeding razor- Used with her short sword, she throws the sword up into the air then, before it lands, kicks it. As it heads for the opponent, she run extremelys' fast to kick it again the moment after it went through the opponent to slice of his or her head. Her speed makes it impossible to stop the attack, but she hardly uses it.


Speed sleep- She run to the opponent (using her inhuman speed) to strike the dull side off any swords she uses on the back of the head. This just put the opponent into an unconscious sleep. Tornado sword kick: As the name, she spins super fast holding the swords out, striking and kicking the opponent with her out-stretched leg at the same time. Used when ambushed or surrounded.


Silent death- Like the name, Mizumo, very silently, run so fast, no one could hear her. Then she appears behind the opponent. She then stabs the opponent at the temple of the head. Unlike the name, it doesn't kill the opponent, unless she use her swords.


Speeding chaos- She nevers used this attack on a person, because it is to dangerous. She first uses both swords and and does tornado sword kick and speeding razor at the same time, but because of the impossible speed and power she's using, she can't control it and the results might kill her and everyone (including her friends) in sight!


Painful land- She runs with with incredible speed, kicks the opponent up in the air and sticks her sword up, the opponent land where the swordis at. The sword is aim below the heart, but above the stomach, so the person isn't really dead.

Writing Sample:

A Premanent Home...

She woke up, yawning, her head hurting from another night on the forest floor. Her legs ache and her filthy kimino, wet from the rain, gave her whatever little heat it had. She sneezed, her nose red. She groaned, "Why does this always happen to me?" she wondered at loud.

She looked up and wondered, *Where am I?* "Excuse, young man," said an unfamiliar voice. Mizumo looked around, then saw a merchant with a trade cart.

"'Young man', I'm not a man, I'm a girl," she replied, not surprised, but annoyed.

"You are?!" the merchant was suprise, but when he took a closer look, he noticed that her hair was girlish and her figure different from a man, but her voice gave the main clue, "Oh, gomen, I thought you were a lost man."

"I am lost, but not a man," she said, then she rubbed the back of her head asking, "Can you take me to the nearest city, please?"

"The nearest city was where I was at, but it's only a few miles out of my way, I guess I could bring you there."

"Arigatou," she replied, then gotten on the cart.

During the ride the merchant began to ask questions, "Why are you wearing a male kimino?"

"I'm not like normal girls," Mizumo replied.

"Where are you from?"

"Kyoto"

"Those swords, are they metal, and if they are, are you planning to steal this trade cart," he sounded worried.

"Yes, these are metal, but I can't allow myself to do such an evil thing," she smiled.

"Well, keep those swords out of sight, there out-lawed."

Mizumo laughed, then said, "Just get to the city."

When they arrived there, she payed the merchant 3 gold coins, and walked off. It was crowded. She walked through, then asked one of the people, "Where am I?"

"Tokyo," was the only answer. Mizumo looked around and found a store that looked abanded. Curious, she looked through the windows and saw it was abandoned.

"Young sir, are interested in this store?"

"Hai," Mizumo hates seeing lonely things.

"Well, if you want, for a price I'll sell it to you."

Agreeing, she paid the woman and opened the door. She didn't why she bought, it wasn't that she staying unless...

"Is the answer here?" she said to herself. For the first time, she felt that the answer is here, in this city. Mizumo looked up and smile, picked up a broom and began sweeping.
