Deft and Quick - What she clearly lacks in strength, she makes up incredibly in having an agile body. Both because of her own training and being naturally double jointed she has found that she can move rapidly and proficiently . Thusly she is light and sharp witted, making her ready to react much quicker than the normal man Weaknesses: Bushido: Tanakira exemplifies the codes of Bushido, and will not stray from them. No matter her personal inclinations and sympathies on a matter, the desires of honor and duty trump all other needs Harsh Upbringing: The Yukihara clan have a violent culture which has desensitised Tanakira to violence, and lead to her current role as a wise yet harsh exemplar of Kusari Biography: Tanakira was raised in a harsh, classical style, before the democratic uprising. Her family is old and her bloodline respected. The roots of her tree branch throughout countless parts of Kusari, from The Military, to the Kempetei, to the Corporations themselves. Despite the family's close ties, the atmosphere within the household is cold, and one of detachment and spartan values. When she was but eight years old, she was sent away from her home to begin her training, a course the fates had decided would be within the Military of Kusari. The training she experienced emphasized composure, control and denial of self, and above all else, the Codes of Bushido, which exemplified Honor and Martial Brilliance. She spent over Thirteen Years of her life studying in the pursuit of perfection, Countless Hours, Likely Years were spent honing her skills on the field with a blade, as well as behind the post commanding theoretical fleets in defense of Kusari. She is one of the deadliest swordswoman alive, and earned the title of Meijin at only 20 years old. As a reward for this, her family granted her a slim sign of affection, an old Katana, one of the Family's relics, brought away from Sol itself. Commissioned within the Navy at the age of 21, her record is flawless and exemplary. She began her duties as damage control officer aboard a Destroyer stationed at the edge of Kusari. But her true brilliance did not sign through until her time as Tactical officer aboard a Gunboat, where she used her small fleet's superior maneuverability to harry and savage Bretonnian forces, forcing them into an early Standstill, until the bulk of the Kusari forces could be deployed to secure and hold the system. It was this kind of swift, brilliant action that saw her rapid rise through the ranks of the Naval Forces, to her current position as Captain of the Kusari 'Tokugawa' Class Battleship, christened KDS-Grey Dragon stationed in New Tokyo. She holds her loyalties close, despite her personal ideologies clashing harshly with them. She performs her duties in silence, service in the pursuit of Bushido was it's own reward, and a step toward enlightenment. As of recently however, she has fallen victim to the political machine of Kusari, as well as it's social hierarchy. Rather than face some type of shameful demotion, or face saving 'Re-Assignment'to work a clerical job, like a proper woman, she tactfully signed transfer orders for herself, entering into the Naval Intelligence branch, a far more open minded organisation where she may continue to fight for and serve the principles of Bushido and the people of Kusari.
