Inside Stuff
Personality: Ayane is a woman who cares about her comrades, and who cares about her mission, taking it very seriously for the sake of the world. She will do whatever she has to in order to succeed, but usually gets too involved and ends up falling flat by exerting too much energy. She doesn’t like to be taken care of by others, but has been known to put up with it if she likes the person as a strong enough friend. She would rather take care of herself, having too much pride to go to others when wounded or tired, despite knowing she should. This all stems from her belief that she has to protect the Shiba clan and ShinkenRed, and can’t show weakness before her Lord/Lady (whatever ShinkenRed’s gender will be). She’s a romantic and likes to be romanced, but only does things in her personal life on her free time, finding that most of her time is devoted to the Shiba clan, on her own wishes to do more to protect, to get better. She’s pretty good with her Mojikara, but doesn’t have great reserves of it, but knows how to properly focus and save it.
Strengths:

• Determined to protect the Shiba clan.
  
• Great Mojikara control.
  
• Loyalty to the task at hand.
  

Weaknesses:

• Doesn’t like to be helped by others; she thinks it makes her weak, even though she knows better.
  
• Not a great amount of Mojikara.
  
• Refuses to ask for help.
  

History: Ayane was born into one of the families dedicated to protecting the Shiba clan, being trained from a young age to be a samurai, in swordplay and in Mojikara control. She never had time for friends, having very few, and all of them held dearly. However, she lost these friends when entering service to protect the new ShinkenRed, thus putting her at a distance with the other Shinkengers and anyone else she would now be around, because she lost her true friends; the friends she would always remember.

Now she seeks only true friendship again amongst her ranks, but as long as it doesn’t get in the way of the mission. The Shinkengers have had successes thus far, but lost their Gold, but found a replacement who came to them in the form of a woman named Kasumi. She liked Kasumi when they met, and looks to be her friend, while seeking friendship – true friendship – from the others, and possibly searching for someone to be with in her life, but only after the job is done and the Gedoushu defeated.
Anything Else: Played by Ren.
Sample RP:

She drew as fast as she could with her ShodoPhone, drawing the symbol for a chain. It shot out, wrapping around the dummy. She drew her sword and tried to pocket her ShodoPhone, only for it to fall in the sand at her feet.

She cursed and fell to a knee. She had to get this; she was nearly out of energy. She tried again, sending another chain lashing out, this time getting the ShodoPhone on her belt. She ran forward, plunging the sword into the chest of the dummy. She took a step back and gave a flurry of three or four cuts, cutting the dummy in half in the end.

She collapsed into the sand, panting harder. Why couldn’t she gain more Mojikara? Why was she so weak?

She didn’t deserve to be a guardian of the Shiba clan…

No. She did. It was her birthright, even if she didn’t feel she deserved it. Merely being born into this family meant she deserved it.

Or did it? She wasn’t sure what to think about it, anymore.
