Name: Maya Natsume
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Race: Human
Alliance: Sentou Gakuin

Homeland:

Maya Natsume comes from a small town located far away from Sentou Gakuin. Her homeland was a beautiful sight to behold as it had sakura petals all around and many places for training and for fun. One of the places to go for fun is the Bowling Alley located nearby that is large and open late. Her house was a simple house that was styled after older Japanese house designs. This included sliding doors, wooden walls, wooden floors, and screen windows. Nearby, close to her house was the school she previously attended which is known as Todou Academy. The school is large but looks like any other highschool. Next to that was a women's bath house that is now partially destroyed that allowed females that attended the school to bathe in peace. The town where she lives also has many trees and the greenery is plentiful.

Physical Description[Appearance]:

In her child state, Maya is about 3 feet and 4 inches, close to the size of a young child. In her average 17 year old form, Maya is about 5 feet and 6 inches. Because of her two individual forms, one being that of a child and the other of a seventeen year old girl, her body changes. In her child form, Maya is short and slender like most eight year old girls. Her hair is long for her age and reaches to the ground. As a seventeen year old, Maya's appearance changes significantly. Her hair grows longer to match her new height while still hanging just above the ground. Her bust also
grows larger and as mentioned earlier, she grows much taller. In this form, she is still thin yet powerful. Maya is not shy at all and not shy about her appearances, as she usually wears revealing clothing and a mini-skirt. If she is in her child form, she wears a kimono for a young girl that is a slight bright red color. She wears a skirt that comes up to her chest and right above her feet when she's in child form. In the seventeen year old form, Maya is usually wearing the same clothes from her child form (simply because she is usually in child form and she transforms). When she changes, the kimono shortens and goes up to the middle of her stomach. Her skirt becomes a miniskirt as she grows taller and the skirt stretches. It reaches up to her knees. When she begins the day in her average form, she is usually wearing a miniskirt and a school shirt or sometimes a purple shirt that reveals her arms. She occasionally wears long black pants that are slightly tight-fitting.

Ranking: Tsurabi

Personality: Overall, Maya Natsume is sometimes stern and demanding but is easily a person to get along with. When it comes to training, she takes things fairly seriously especially when in her seventeen year old form. Maya is serious when fighting depending on the opponent. As a child, she is playful and silly and often hangs around on people's shoulder. She is always seen with a happy face unless she is teasing another person for fun.

Although she has a playful side, she has a more serious side when training specific people. She often responds to a failed training technique with a whack from her wooden sword. As a seventeen year old, Maya is more serious. She often trains with Aya and doesn't go easy on her even though she knows she is the stronger of the two. A good friend can easily make her happy, but an enemy can easily enrage her. She dislikes being taken advantage of and watching her friends get hurt.

History/Background Story:

Maya Natsume was originally from another land. It was in this land that she was a powerful warrior that attended the school known as Todou Academy. As a girl there, she lived a happy life. She spent time with her older brother Shin Natsume and her younger sister Aya Natsume. She was happy until the day when her brother died. Her brother fought against a
powerful warrior in the school. The match went on with her brother losing. He could have used the Natsume clan's Dragon Eyes, but he chose to fight without it. After the fight, Maya was sad to see her older brother dead right before her eyes. For awhile, Maya has been trying to decide why her brother died. She saw him killed in the fight, but she was unsure about who to blame. Eventually, Maya left Todou academy while leaving behind a single note in her sister's room. She had hoped that her sister would join her someday at a new school that she received word about that would further increase her abilities. After leaving the academy, Maya traveled on a long road in order to find Sentou Gakuin. With her, she brought Reiki which was the legendary sword of the Natsume clan as well as the Evil Nodachi. After a few months, Maya eventually made her way to the gates of Sentou Gakuin. There, she was offered the opportunity to fight for a high ranking, but instead she chose to start over and begin her school life as a first year yellow ranked warrior. Maya spent most of the time at the school wondering, or at least she started out at the school
wondering. She began to wonder whether she was to blame or if it was
another person. Eventually, she put her guilt behind her and concentrated on becoming stronger.

In her Energy class, Maya's sensei allowed her to learn new abilities which helped her because Maya had a new goal in mind. Her new goal was to take her abilities to the next level, which she could do by fighting against a red ranked warrior and hopefully defeating the person in battle. For a few weeks, Maya considered all of the red warriors and finally made her decision about who she wished to fight. Her intended opponent was Kuchiku Faia, which was a person that Maya knew little about. One thing that Maya knew, was that it wouldn't be easy on an elemental level since Kuchihu was a fire elemental warrior while Maya was a wood elemental.

Later, she was offered the opportunity to become a teacher for the time being of the energy class. At first, Maya seemed enthusiastic, but Maya has begun to reconsider. As of now, Maya remains in her child form while making sure that no one knows of her older form. She wants to keep her identity secret for now. Perhaps in her future battle she will unleash her true might... Maya has decided since the offer to take Militis up on his offer but still doesn't think she should. Instead, she thinks that she should be at the ranking of Master so that she can help but not take over.

RPing Sample:

Maya was in class one day in her child form when Militis, her energy teacher, decided the class should go train in the plains. As he requested, the class left although he vanished before she and the rest of the class could. A boy named Deki was in the class and left the classroom after the energy teacher. Maya used this opportunity to jump on his shoulder. Because of her weight, Deki never even noticed her. Deki jogged up to the spot where Militis was. Secretly, Maya was sitting quietly on Deki's
shoulder. "Here I am!!" Maya shouted out happily. She was being silly. She couldn't help it though, she was a little kid now. She had a ready look on her face and an average smile across her face. She was ready for the next phase in her training. "I'm ready Sensei!" Her words were eager and energetic. Militis looked at Maya, then at Deki. He began to speak, "Ok,
the technique the both of you will be learning is Dragon's Breath. This technique is very much dependent on the training that we have done today and other days." Militis walked about 2 meters away from his students, and began to speak again, "In this technique, you are to take in a deep breath, summon your energy to the back of your mouth, then force it out in a jet of flame." Militis followed this statement with a demonstration of the technique. As Militis spoke, Maya noticed Deki look at her and make a shocked face. he didn't seem to notice that she was even up there on his shoulder and to her, that was pretty funny. Maya smiled at Deki and chuckled a bit. "It's fun to sit on other people's shoulder. It's also much easier than walking on my own. Besides, I'm so light. It shouldn't bother you." Maya continued smiling and then she remembered that the teacher had said that they had to shoot flames. She thought about it and then realized that she didn't know the flame element. She raised her hand up high. "Sensei, if we don't know the fire element, will the attack appear as the element that you do know?" Militis saw Maya and acknowledged it. "It could, but it is easier to shoot flames, and as I believe that you use wood, if I am correct about that, then it
would be impossible to use wood. So I guess I have to teach you a crash
course." Militis walked a little closer, and looked at Maya. "Now to gain fire, you must gain your energy into the pit of your stomach, and then, bring all of your anger to where you energy is and release the energy into the heart." Maya looked at Militis and attempted to do as he instructed her to. She thought about her past at the Todou Academy and thought about the sight of her brother dying in front of her face. Fears shot up along with anger. The anger was deciding who to blame for the death of her brother and the fear came from her not being able to become strong enough for him. She kept thinking about the anger and soon inhaled deeply. After inhaling for a few seconds, she blew out a burst of fire. It was a small fire burst that was about half the size of her head, but it still existed. Afterwards, Maya was breathing fairly heavy. She wondered if her current fire attack was enough to learn this new technique that her sensei was about to teach her. After hours of training, Maya was finally able to master the technique. She was also capable of using the fire element now.
