Takeda<br/><strong>Gender;</strong>Female<br/><strong>Sexuality;</strong>Bi<br/><strong>Age;</strong>23<br/><strong>Appearance;</strong>(http://fisahelarabilylthsprofile.yolasite.com/resources/warrior_anime.jpg)<br/><strong>Eye

http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Fool_Arcana (http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Fool_Arcana)<br/><strong>Summon Persona Preference;</strong>Tarot Card<br/><strong>Other Means;</strong>NA<br/><strong>Persona Name;</strong>Rurouni<br/><strong>Persona Appearance;</strong>(http://www.mcmbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/RurouniKenshinTV4.jpg)<br/><strong>Powers and abilities;</strong>With super sonic speed and lightning fast strikes, this particular Persona is a swordsman without equal.  With powerful offensive skills used to defend his host, this wandering samurai is not to be taken lightly despite his human appearance.  His main element is lightning and he's weak against wind types of attacks.  Immune to light based magics.  (Won't be anywhere close to max 'level'.)<br/><strong>Persona Lore/History;</strong>Rurouni was considered the best swordsman during the Meiji era of Japan's history.  A powerful assassin, the Manslayer took no prisoners and had no mercy for any that crossed his path, ruthlessly killing all those that opposed his ideals.  Once the war was over, Rurouni disappeared as quickly as he had appeared, becoming a wandering swordsman to atone for his past.<br/><strong>Weapon of Choice;</strong>;  Katana, the Japanese sword of choice for samurais and wandering ronin.  (Martial skill is in the Shinkendo style of fighting.)<br/><strong>Skills;</strong>Cooking, cleaning, reading/writing in Japanese and English, speaking both languages easily as well, singing, fighting to some degree, and Shinkendo.<br/><strong>Hobbies;</strong>Reading, watching anime, drawing, writing, listening to music, walking the countryside, singing mostly to herself, soccer, hanging out with friends.  (Basically anything that doesn't have anything to do with her family's dojo.)<br/><strong>Likes;</strong>Reading, watching anime, listening to music, walking the countryside, singing, soccer, hanging out with friends, her parents, dogs, cats, birds, and fish.<br/><strong>Dislikes;</strong>Her parents, (currently,) jerks, know-it-all people, bullies, snakes, spiders, lizards, unclean rooms, idiots, dishonest people, and unreliable people.<br/><strong>Quirks;</strong>Tends to chew on her fingernails when she's nervous, which is rare.<br/><strong>Ons;</strong>O/O page.<br/><strong>Offs;</strong>O/O page.<br/><strong>Personality;</strong>Despite no longer enjoying Shinkendo and the lessons it teaches to its students, Abigail has a calm mind and strong body underneath her beautiful exterior.  Her problems at home, while troublesome, doesn't normally affect her in any way in public.  Still, there are days she wishes the dojo would just burn down, thinking it would be the end of her parents' plans to get her into their area of study and practice despite no longer being together in any other sense of the word, but she also used to enjoy the art once upon a time.  Besides that, it would destroy their livelihood if it ever happened, something she would never truly wish on them despite how controlling they are sometimes.<br/><br/>Because of her love of the arts in many forms, Abigail has a fondness for anime of all sorts as well as books with richly detailed plots, giving rise to an imagination she keeps well hidden, as well as the short stories and drawings she does during her free time.  She has an entire section on her laptop dedicated to her stories and a notebook full of idle drawings of imagined places, people, etc.  If her hidden treasure trove of stories and drawings was ever discovered, Abby would most likely turn beet red in the face before running for the hills if confronted by a friend about it all, being too shy regarding her creativity to share it with anyone.<br/><strong>Personal History;</strong>Abigail Takeda is the only daughter to Mary and Alexander Takeda, both masters of the Shinkendo art of sword fighting.  How two masters of the same art came together is a story in itself, but to put it simply, they met in a tournament, and Mary came out the winner.  Still, after ten years together, having Abbs a year after they had moved in together and gotten married, she was only nine when they split up.  Happiness was not theirs to keep after two miscarriages since they had both wanted to have more children, although they loved Abigail a great deal.  It was a hopeless dream after Abbs was born though, and eventually any happiness they had for each other faded.<br/><br/>Now, attending college to perform and to act at a professional level, Abigail is hoping she'll get away from her parents and their dojo which they still run together, but they are always at each other's throats when they don't have a class going together.  How two people that so clearly hate each other can still work together as well as they do is beyond Abigail's understanding, but however they do it, it seems to work.  Even so, they both try to control her and force her into their way of life, giving rise to the young woman's rebellious attitude when it comes to anything related to the dojo and training to be a master like them.  How can she honestly do such a thing and still keep her sanity?  Answer; she won't and can't imagine going into the family business which had moved from Tokyo to Inaba as it has, finding a place at the end of the Shopping District.<br/><br/>Abigail hasn't been in school long, but with the new college opened up on the edge of the flood plain, the former Shinkendo student enjoys a relatively good life when she's not home, putting on a brave face and a warm smile that hides her personal darkness and pain.  It's no secret she has problems at home, just that no one really stops to ask her how she truly feels about it all given her skill at hiding how deep the pain truly goes.  Some days she wishes the dojo would burn down to the ground so she wouldn't have to deal with it any longer, but she'd never say that aloud.  Besides, while she hates it now, she used to love learning about the way of the sword once upon a time, finding it fascinating and challenging, two things that keep Abigail in high spirits whenever she can find a new way to push herself.<br/><br/><strong>Dungeon Theme/Creatures that inhabit it;</strong>Because she hates her dojo and what it represents to her, being akin to a prison in all intents and purposes, Abigail's dungeon is a sparsely decorated wooden structure with bars and chains over every window, dimly lit by traditional Japanese paper lanterns.  The creatures that populate it are akin to dead samurai warriors, monstrous moth like insects that rule the air, and simple items such as bronze incense burners and braziers floating about with a mind of their own, flinging weak but annoying spells at any that dare to try to help her in her personal Hell.  Her Shadow clone when transformed becomes a giant six armed warrior woman with a sword in each hand, covered completely in the black robes of a Shinkendo master martial artist, and the power and speed to match.
