HISTORY

Reiko’s parents were a forbidden love, they met when he was visiting on UN business with his father. Michirou Tawakawa had been sent to assassinate the young UN diplomat in order to stop a deal that would prevent a powerful drug trade between her father and a Scottish drug lord, who wanted to introduce a new drug into Europe. Michirou purposely allowed herself to get caught feeling something was different about the father and son pair. While Ewan Yavie may have been the younger in the family to be in Japan, he was actually the diplomat, his father acted the role because the order of Druids the two were a part of felt that it was more important to protect the younger, who’s gift of promoting peace was almost saintly. Ewan had been the one that had questioned Michirou, managing to hide the incident of the attempted murder from the police. After the three hours that it took to talk to her he convinced his father to pull strings to have her taken back to Scotland with them. The two married in the fall. A full year after their meeting Ashley Reiko Yavie-Tawakawa was born. Both parents doted over their only child. Michirou was unable to carry another despite them trying a few times. Despite their wishes the family was moved from the small cottage they had just outside Glasgow, back to the clan estates, a small island just off the northern coast, the Druids fearing that allowing the daughter of their peacekeeper to live among others would ruin her ability to follow in her father’s footsteps. Her childhood on the island wasn’t solitary, there were other children on the island, not all of them human. Her best friends ended up being a Seklie, a pair of wood elementals, a shape shifting mutant, and a dimensionally displaced saber toothed tiger. When she was five she was taken from her nanny while they were on mainland visiting a carnival. Her ‘kidnapper’ was her own grandfather, whom had arranged the carnival to be there in order to get her. He wanted his daughter to pay for leaving him, and turning their innocent little girl into a killer seemed to be the best plan of action. Ashley spent the next twelve years not only training to be a cold-hearted killer, but also thinking her parents were dead and that’s why no one came to get her. In fact her parents wanted to get her, problem was even though they knew exactly where she had been taken they were unable to get close for fear that Ran would kill his granddaughter. If he hadn’t been such a powerful man they would have gone to the police, but in Sapporo if you needed something hard to get, you went to Ran Tawakawa. He may not be Yakuza, but he has so many ties with them that a bad deal with him usually had them at your door. Reiko did as she was ordered for the most part, and when she was thirteen her mutant ability kicked in, she had tried to escape the house in order to go explore the city without her bodyguards, one of the guards had caught her, causing her to fall and break an ankle. When he went to her worried that he was going to lose his life for it, she touched him, her wound healing, his ankle breaking. Feeling guilty about it, when the others got to their location she lied, saying that someone had gotten in and tried to get her out of the city. And that the soldier who was now injured had been hurt rescuing her, thus he managed to keep his job and life. She managed to keep the incident hidden a few weeks before news of what really happened got to her grandfather. The next year he pretty much tortured her to see the extent of the ability, that stopped when her secondary ability kicked in, causing all his guards to drop their weapons. If she hadn’t been strapped down she would have managed to escape from the estate she was being kept in. Instead the incident drew attention of the police. Took another four years until Reiko actually was able to escape, and that was by subtly assisting the police with bringing down her grandfather’s organization. With him locked away in prison her parents were able to get to her. The damage was mostly done, though her actions aiding the police, and tending to wounded after the place was raided put Reiko on a watch list. They had felt she had been caged long enough and as long as she agreed to have at least one guard of the government’s choosing she could continue to have her freedom. Michirou was able to talk them into letting her return to Scotland, knowing that the druids there might be able to help with all the emotional damage that had been done to her daughter. As long as she didn’t leave the island with the keep she was allowed to go there by both the Japanese and Scottish governments, the Scottish taking interest trying to figure out how the daughter of such a peaceful man could have over two hundred kills to her name. Reiko struggled to relearn English, but any of the murderous side that had been put into her because of her grandfather happened to stay dormant, she gained better control over her healing ability, finding that her limits were near death. She could keep someone alive long enough for them to get to medical facilities, at a strain to her heart, the one person she tried to bring back to life with her ability was the Druid monk that was working to help her get past everything that happened in Japan. He died in her arms on her nineteenth birthday, almost taking her with him. Because of him she fights harder to try to become the good person that everyone knows she can be. This is where she decided to try to go to medical school. While she struggles with things since her schooling before that has been barely minimal, she manages to at least get passing grades with sheer stubbornness. Reiko doesn’t come close to the top of the class, but she does manage to pass classes. The added stress worries her father who takes her down to one of the coves that litter the small island. Sel’s waiting and takes her to one of the underground pools to help her forget about everything for a few hours. Reiko’s first experience with sex (she initiated it with Sel) had interesting results, both Sel and Rei felt incredibly weak for the next two days, though the rest of the island were overflowing with energy. Every wound and illness were cured as well. At first the Druids had thought that it had been Sel’s magic, since he has limited control over water. When they dug deeper into the situation and found out it was combined efforts of the two of them, they started teaching Reiko simple magic, binding spells and various calming techniques hoping to keep another incident like that from happening. Sel and Reiko continue their relationship a while longer. Unknown to her he buys a ring and is actually going to propose to her, the day he decides to pop the question the keep’s attacked. Sel stays back to hold the ground so the Druids can get her and her family to the underground shelters, he’s killed in action, managing to take out two of the attackers, while Alx takes out the others using the woods to form a better barrier around the keep. Alx is the one to bring her the ring, folding it into her hand. She slips the ring onto a silver chain wearing it as a reminder of her childhood friend and lover. Three days later some representatives from Japan come to talk to her.

They’re looking for replacements for the current roster of BH6. Rei, remembering Sel had given his life to protect the small island and her agrees. She doesn’t want anyone else to die because of her and wants to fight to protect others to repay the people who have died in her life.

physical Skills

Reiko was trained twelve years of her life as an assassin and is fluent in Japanese, French, German, Russian, and of course Japanese and Chinese. Her English is accented heavily but passible.

Fighting skills (That she pretends most the time not to have) are Karate, Jujitsu, Ninjutsu, and Kyudo.

Her favorite of these happens to be Kyudo which keeps her out of the front line where her mutant ability is better used, though this doesn't mean that she'll stand on the side lines if she sees that her teammates or others need assistance.

Weaknesses

Her mutant ability is like walking on a knife's edge, if she uses it too much too quickly she can actually hurt herself too much and will need hospitalization. Her magic requires her to speak, and even though she's dual citizen ship, her English isn't that great so it's unreliable. Rei's own emotions can hinder her ability. If she doesn't keep a neutral emotion she can cause more damage if she's trying to heal. This also goes with good emotionos, if she's not careful she can do more damage to herself by healing more than her target if say, in the heat of the moment.

Abilities

Mutant abilities:

Touch healing - which is a little misleading, Rei can pull wounds from others into herself. This will cause her some damage so she tries to avoid using this skill unless absolutely needed. Touch wounding - the wounds she collects with her 'healing' ability she can send back at others within her touch range. Sometimes she will use this to interrogate others if there is no other way to get them to talk. Peaceful aura - If she focuses she can cause people within a two hundred foot radius of her to become more peaceful and docile. She will use this when she is on UN missions to help calm down the clinics she is sent into so that the other doctors are not harmed. She has no control over whom she affects with this; so soldiers and civilians both, if armed will drop their weapons when it is activated.

Mystic training

She's still a novice at this, most of her training is more Western magic than Eastern. The strongest spell she happens to have is a simple binding spell, which when used can hold someone long enough to deliver them to the police. Down side is it is a spell she has to have physical contact on the person she's using it on. Which doesn't make it worth while in a combat situation.

Combat training

Reiko has been trained in a few martial arts; against normal humans, she can fend for herself in hand to hand combat, as well as some weapons. Her weapons training includes: Japanese long bow, thrown weapons like dirks and stars, as the bo-staff. Noncombat skills She has studied to be a medical doctor (Has not exactly passed the final tests yet) leaning more towards Triage. When she is not dealing with medicine she plays the Japanese long flute, it helps her focus. She also enjoys painting when she can, even though she is not that great at it. It is another way to help her try to stay calm.
