· PROFILE)
Kasumi tries to present herself like a young lady at all times. Formal and slightly cold when first approached, she quickly warms up to people and tries to make friends. Her kind hearted spirit is evident in her smile and she always strives to do right. Recently, with all the talk about coexistance between the races she has begun to revisit her former hopes. Though she tries to be polite at all times, she is fearful of people finding out her identity, as a vision she had still haunts her.

She was never one for extravagance and always preferred simplicity. Her usual attire is that of a fitted white dress. The material shines with a silky shimmer, flattering her elegantly in its simplicity whereas on others it just wouldn't work. Almost always, she can be seen with a notebook and a pencil. Either taking notes or sketching someone or something. The paleness of the white against her skin, gives her some color and pales out the blonde of her semi long hair. Her hair reaches about two inches past shoulder length in with a seemingly wind touched look. Sapphire blue eyes full of warmth and kindness easily harden and turn to ice when she's upset.

· HISTORY)
Kasumi was born into the Shirabuki family shortly after the rise of the Purebloods. It was a time of war between the humans and the vampires, the humans being close to extinction. She grew up fearful of the humans that had acquired power. The ones that called themselves hunters. As a child, she grew up dreaming about a time of peace between the races. It was a hope that soon died out as the war hit it's peak. With all the slaughter and the bloodshed around, all that remained was the option to flee. In the dead of night, she left the safety of her home knowing full well that if she was caught she was dead. Either way, she only saw death. She could smell the humans that had approached her home and knew what it foretold. She took two people with her when she fled, both about her age. Her cousin and her elder sibling. Regret and remorse would haunt her forever for leaving but it was all she could do to save her own life.

Even after fleeing the household, she could see the destruction the humans wrought upon her home as they met her family head first in battle. They continued to run, mourning the loss of their family. Three days after they had initially left, it stormed terribly. It was during that storm, that they got separated. Scared and alone, Kasumi hid amongst the rubble until a passing human found her. The human didn't report her or kill her because of the misconception that vampires were made and not born. Believing she was human, she was adopted by the stranger. It was hard, being a young vampire and living with a human but she learned to manage. She lived with her "adopted" family for a total of three years before once again leaving. While she lived with with the human, she learned she had a talent for art and frequently used going outside to draw as an excuse for finding someone to bite. During her time here, Hunters began to grow suspicious even though she was always immaculate. They grew suspicious about the number of Level E's that were appearing. Once the suspicion mounted to the point that the hunters began to investigate, she fled again. this time in search of somewhere she could be safe with other vampires.

Once she had set out on her journey again, she met a distant relative a few towns away. The relative was from a branch family that had ended up a noble family instead of Pureblood. Compelled to not only protect a family member but to also protect a Pureblood, her relatives took her in. Here, she lived safe and happy for the longest amount of time. She even asked that she not be treated any different from the rest of them. Due to her request, they did just that. She was homeschooled and treated as a noble instead of a Pureblood. It was even during this time that she cast aside the Shirabuki name, vowing only to reclaim it in a dire situation where her family name was needed. She took the name of the family that took her in, Akimoto, and helped them gain respect in the eyes of other families because of the fact she was so well mannered in formal situations. Her newfound home remained without any notice by the Hunters until she was seen accidentally killing a Level E vampire. After living in one place for what seemed like forever she was forced to leave again, only to come across similar situations for the next few centuries.

It was during her next thousand years where the other Purebloods began to suspect falsehood in her identity. The suspicion was aroused due to the fact she resembled the Shirabuki family too well to be a coincidence. With that knowledge floating around, she knew she was in danger every moment she was seen. The name change hadn't been enough to dispel the suspicion. After some time under suspicion, the Hunters got wind of the situation and consulted their records. According to the records of the Hunters, she was deceased and her claims were accepted. Though some still had their doubts, she was allowed to continue on with her existence because of a mistake on the Hunters' part.

With that situation done with, she fled to Europe because of a rumor. Searching for the subject of the rumor, she eventually came across her elder brother. Informing her brother of the situation, he agreed to keep her true identity a secret under the condition that she remained with him. Accepting his terms, he also added one final thing. He added that if he should ever lose control of his power, he wanted her to be the one to kill him. Accepting those terms again, she lived under his watchful gaze. It was under his tutelage that she learned to control her powers. In the end, she even surpassed his skill. During their time together, Kasumi began to care for her brother to the point it was painful to be away from him. Knowing that it was dangerous to have such an attachment, she shut herself away, hating the fact she cared for him. Denial never suited her and even now it didn't seem to work for her. Desperate to drive a wedge between her and her brother, she left him again. This time wasn't to save herself exactly. This time was to get away from her brother. It killed her to leave him but she didn't have a choice. She didn't want to end up losing herself.

This time she found herself in a small town with an amusement park nearby and a few general attractions. There was even an academy being built nearby as well. Although the academy seemed like the best place to go, she decided to simply keep an eye on it and went to a public school in the area. She excelled in the studies that the normal humans had and still had her talent for art after all this time. There were a couple humans she was quite fond of, but none of them had earned her trust enough to know the truth. It was about four years after her graduation from the public school when Cross Academy finished its construction. As soon as she got word that it was finished, she enrolled in the school with a single request for the headmaster. She didn't want the Night Class population knowing of her identity, with the exception of the Disciplinary Committee and Kaname (as he already knew). It would jeopardize her and the students. Her brother's rage was something to be feared and with her request granted, she was enrolled into the school and began classes.

· ADDITIONAL)

• Accelerated healing- The ability to rapidly heal injuries even nearly fatal ones, grows stronger if the vampire feeds while healing.
  
• Immortal- As a Pureblood, she is unable to die unless pierced through the head or heart by a fatal wound or an Anti-Vampire weapon.
  
• Memory Alteration- The ability to erase and unblock memories on others and herself
  
• Telekinesis- The ability to move things with ones mind. She has an abnormally strong gift in this category as she has practiced with it for many centuries.
  
• Clairvoyance- Most would assume that this is the ability to see the future. That is not so. It is the ability to see possibilities of what can happen. Nothing is concrete, the future and its possibilities change with every decision. Also, using this ability can allow her to see a person's aura, making her capable of telling if their intentions are harmful or not.
  
  She has decent control over her abilities, only losing control when her emotional level hits a breaking point. She has little to no self defense knowledge but would gladly put herself in harms way to help someone she cared for. Also, she does show some interest in learning to protect herself, preferably something that won't cause overall harm to whoever she's dealing with.

You have some really nice idea's put into this but it might be to much at the same time. For starters, it seems like your character represents this very timid, quiet personality while at the same time quite aggressive and even active in violent work such as out fighting level E vampires. A character needs to be more focused. Usually if you have a more shy character, if they do fight it, would be more distant combat. Examples being bow and arrow or like Shiki with his blood whip.

Also, you had mentioned having the entire night class not knowing of your own pureblood powers. If for protection purposes you don't want your character to be known, that can still work. However, it would be enforced that Zero and Yuki know so that's they could protect and of course with Kaname being a pureblood himself, he would instinctively know.

Now because it is being assumed that you had read the rules during the time that a specific requirement was removed, this does not effect you. However, it has been put back into place that if someone is to take on the role of a pureblood, please message the admin before tryout. Again, that wasn't in the rules presumably when you read so you don't need to send a message. A question that is asked is if you have any intentions in the future of creating the brother mentioned for your character? If so that take's up two of the roles in the pureblood sign ups instead of just one.

Thank you and sorry this is so long. Hope you find this useful and hope to hear back soon.

I have made a few edits, along with a side note that she'd like to learn to protect herself and keep some distance between her and others. The reason some of her attributes conflict is because of *spoiler alert* the fact she's about to lose sight of who she is because she's running away so much. *spoilers end*

And to address your concern about her brother, I have no intention of creating him as a character. I'd rather let another take on the role or let him remain an NPC that's destined to die off.

hmm... yes yes.... ;3
