Name in Role Play: Yuuko Ichihara
Race/Ethnicity: Witch/Japanese
Age: Young as the spring, old as the winter (In other words. YOU DO NO ASK ABOUT HER AGE)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Equal opportunist!
Appearance: Yuuko is a striking beauty. Tall, leggy, with a voluptuous build, many would describe her as being beautiful- but in a slightly unusual way. It may be because of her skin, white as the driven snow. Those unnatural deep red eyes probably have something to do with it too. Though one cannot deny that her seemingly endless ebony hair is always in perfect condition, there is still something unnerving about the woman. Perhaps it’s the way she talks, changing so quickly from playful to predatory. Maybe it’s the way that she can hold your fate in your palm while blowing off the day on opium high. Or it could be the way that sometimes you're force to wonder if she’s totally sane or not, but who really knows.

In terms of clothing, Yuuko’s is very varied. Most of the time while lounging around her rather unusual shop, she can be seen in a number of different but all equally luxurious Japanese kimonos. When going outside of her shop (which is pretty rare, but she does occasionally need to make house calls), or when she’s just in the mood, she’ll don more modern wear, which includes lacy tops, pants, skirts, and a number of other things. All of which are equally lovely, seeing as this witch always dresses to kill.
Personality: The woman is eccentric. No, ‘crazy’ would be a better word to describe it. Not that she is all the time, sometimes she’s rather kind. Or mischievous. Or somber. Or wicked.

There is the one side of her that seems like your usual cynical, often being sarcastic and rather negative about things. She also seems to have somewhat of a mean streak, enjoying putting others through arduous tasks for no apparent reason. She’ll seem darkly cheerful all along, making you wonder of her actual intent. Though when things are dire, she quickly adjust to the situation, becoming as wise and sagely as one would expect of a witch with her infamy. It is in these moments that she can also appear callous, almost cruel. This sorceress doesn’t seem to mind too much, though.

At other times she can seem light-headed and whimsical, almost silly. She prances around, making fun of people with her two assistants, drinking sake, and acting rather carefree. She also seems to have a rather addictive personality, often seen with a bottle of alcohol and a pipe full of opium. One could point these out as being releases, since Yuuko obviously has much on her mind. Having cosmic power and inflicting pain on others daily isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, after all.
Abilities/Weaponry: Yuuko grants wishes. Whether you want to quit a bad habit, heal a cursed item, or travel between dimensions. This witch can do it all- for a price. The price must be equal in exchange, and for some of the greater wishes, she just might have to take it all from you. But she’s not interested in money, she wants that teddy bear. The one your beloved grandmother gave to you on her deathbed and made you promise never to give it away with her last dying breath. Or maybe she wants the ashes of your father, the ones that are on the mantle piece. Or, you know, all your memories of your beloved will do.

But her lovely shop has limits, of course. If you don’t need anything from it- it isn’t there. You can’t see it, you can’t enter it, nadda. Also- sometimes wishes have price tags even too rich for Yuuko’s blood. She’ll usually frown on trading a life for a life- but don’t worry; she can usually find some way to work you in.
Weaknesses: Even the world’s most wonderful witch has a few limitations, you know. As listed above, she will not grant some things that would require a life, or several, to be given. Most of her power is also tied to her store, and is one of her main faults. Though she can leave the store if necessary, she leaves most of her power with it. She does retain some, of course, but it has very strict rules. Mainly- when she leaves she can only take enough magic to protect herself and do the job that she is setting out to.
History: “Hm~? Me? That can’t possibly be want you want to know. An odd wish, but I take all kinds. There is a price for this, you know. Don’t care? I haven’t even told you what it is yet… Still don’t care? Well, if you insist.”

“I’ve run this little establishment for- oh. You wanted to know my personal history? Sorry, you should’ve been more specific. No changing it now though, how tragic for you.”

“Back to the story- I opened my shop. I still run it. Business is fairly good, as well as business could be for this special variety of shoppe. Though at times I wish I had one more pair of hands to help me. I’m getting to old for this, really~”

“Any friends? Besides Maru and Moro, I suppose not… Him? Oh, you mean that perverted bastard. He’s dead now anyway, idiot. No reason to talk about him, we were just business partners anyway.”

“Ah, no. I think that about covers it. Not enough details? Dear, you’ve been given more than anyone else has in several years. No, I will not tell you how many. Now get scrubbing. Helping out around the shop for a bit seems like equal payment for a high-class lady such as myself giving out her history, no?”
Organization/Pack/Clan/Guild?: No
