Attitude Toward Death:  Ever since she started her journey into the Japanese criminal underworld, she’s fully aware death comes with the territory. Usually she’s closely protected by the Arashi twins who work as her bodyguards while working alongside her in the gang. As sole leader for the Black Mist, she’s responsible for the lives of her members and vows to protect them. On a whole she doesn’t allow herself to show fear in the face of death due to the fact that’s considered unbecoming.

Sexual Preference/Experience/Values: She’s straight, preferring men over women. She lost her virginity at the age of 17 to one of her father’s friend’s son. Since then, she has slept with one another man who she’d been involved in a romantic relationship with. When it comes to relationships she has had her fair share, however they mostly didn’t last long as she would get bored. She doesn’t believe in marriage as it’s too formal and old fashioned.

Education/Special Training: Although she wasn’t enthusiastic when it came to education/learning, her adoptive father encouraged her to the best of her abilities even during times in which she wanted to drop out. She left school at the age of 15 with above average grades, not interested in starting high school. Having learned of her father’s criminal background, she developed an interest in becoming an outlaw. At the age of 16 she joined a small Japanese criminal syndicate as an underling and within a year she was able to lead a crew of underlings. Just after her 20th birthday, the syndicate disbanded due to police shutting it down for good. She was one of the few lucky ones to have escaped being caught and sentenced harshly, therefore deciding to create her own gang called Black Mist. She has also achieved a 3rd dan in Kendo.

At long last, here's the profile of my female protagonist, Katsumi, who will feature alongside Norio Hashira in my future anime story.  Just like Norio's profile, Katsumi's profile it's still in progress and I will add/alter things to it overtime in the future.

I admit I done barely any research for her character - well, only the ranks/hierarchy of criminal gangs. The syndicate she was a member of before she became leader of her own gang is kinda loosely based on the Italian Mafia. Sure, I could have went with her being part of the Yukaza (the Japanese Mafia), however with the Yukaza normally it's family oriented. In other words, the business is passed down from one family generation to the next.

Her own gang, Black Mist, will be different from the Yukaza in terms of how it's run - hopefully that can be shown when I do decide to write the story. Here's a fun fact for you: At the start of this month there was fog where I lived and one day when I was out shopping the mist turned dense quite rapidly. It was then I decided to call Katsumi's gang Black Mist after debating about it for some time now.

Most importantly, I wanted her to be completely different from her male counterpart, Norio. That was something I had in mind before creating profiles for both of them. Also, her alias will be looked into more detail when I start my story.

So, what do you think of Katsumi? :)

Very detailed. Sounds like it would be a good read. :) (Smile)  I am curious though, about the significance of "Black Wind" in contrast to Black Mist?
