Brujah -Q- Quebec City -P- Paris

Sobriquet: "Babe" or "That Hot Chick" when she is not paying attention. Chou (pronouced Cho) or Ms. Shizuka when directly spoken too.

Appearance: She is built as if conjured by the most beautiful example of Japanese women. She stands just over 5 feet tall, and has the slim but muscular build of a gymnast or dancer.

Behavior: Chou likes to move. She has a hard time standing still except when needed. Every move she does make is balanced and on purpose making her movement a joy to watch. She is in general quiet when around her Sire, but will speak in quick Japanese or Chinese to her sister when they are together without her sire.

History: Chou is an orphan of the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima. She was very young and visiting with extended family when the bomb killed her parents and destroyed her home. As a community effort she was raised in a monastery from about age 4 till 19. Along with subjects like history, languages, math and philosophy, the monks noticed her love for movement and trained her on several martial arts.

She moved out into the world with a small amount of money to find what she wanted in the world. She was attacked repeatedly due to her age, size and looks. She easily fended off each of these attacks but was awakened to the darker part of the world. Like a moth to a flame she became attracted to it. She fell in love with a street leader of the Yakuza.

After a two year love affair that changed her from monkish and sheltered to worldwise and somewhat jaded. She had to literally fight off those of higher rank that "wanted her", one night that offended one of the regional leaders. He gave her boyfriend two choices, kill her or kill himself and they would put a hit on her. He choose to kill her.

Standing over his mangled and blood soaked body she was visited by a stranger. She offered to take her away from the pain and heartache. To give her the power to never fear the streets again. She left the scene licked clean of blood and with a very different view on the world.

Recent Events: She has moved to Quebec City with her sire. She loves both her sire and sister but is looking for someone else. She is having a hard time trusting other kindred but has hope.

Note: She has shown similar powers to her sire. She seems to like or be very gifted with her clan discipline of Celerity.
