IC Information:
Name: Shizuru Kuwabara
Fandom: Yu Yu Hakusho
Timeline: One year after the series ended.
Age: 21 It isn't specified or I missed it but she's around there for sure.
Appearance:
Like Kazuma her younger brother, Shizuru is quite tall with a slender feminine build. She has medium to long length brown hair and brown eyes. She's the typical young lady with fair skin. She looks nothing like Kuwabara, though. She is often seen dressed in business-like attires, such as a slacks and vests, and sometimes she could be seen wearing long sleeves with button up shirts and skirts as well. It depends on the situation she's in and where she was at. Most of the time she wears pants. She's a little bit tomboyish if anything. She usually has a cigarette in her mouth or smoking for the most part. You can't really miss the smell, but it doesn't matter because she's pretty fair herself. Sometimes she does tie her hair up but most of the time the brown hair just hangs off her shoulder and face as usual.
Abilities:
SPIRITUAL AWARENESS: Shizuru was gifted with the strong ability of spiritual awareness. She could see demons and spirits. At some points if the Reiki was strong enough, she could feel the level of power and often she shivered from the overexposure to them. She can also see some of the encrypted video tapes that Koenma sent to Kuwabara and Yuusuke such as the event with rescuing Yukina. Unlike Kuwabara, however, Shizuru doesn't possess the ability to materialize her own Reiki into any certain form. She doesn't have that gift, but he her spiritual awareness is like no other. She could sense danger coming from miles away and often able to prevent them for people like Keiko.
STRENGTH: Shizuru possessed brute strength equivalent to Kuwabara's and possibly stronger at times. She was seen various times kicking demon ass, and beating her poor brother to a bloody pulp. She seemed to know what she was doing as well. Shizuru is capable defending herself against lower class demons and people like her younger brother who was quite fearful of her fighting capabilities. These abilities gave people the chance to see similarities between Kazuma and his older sister, Shizuru.
COOKING: Whereas Shizuru isn't exactly the best student herself, she could do simple things like cook. Despite being a brute straight forward person like her brother, she could cook food that is most likely edible and good. Kuwabara seemed to enjoy them while he was studying.
Personality:
She is considered a rather mellow, and cynical type of character and that is depicted through her blank and easy going expressions. She is a sort of maternal figure towards her younger brother, Kuwabara, Kazuma. As much as she loves him, she would beat him for his stupidity. She practices what most parents do sometimes, tough love. She's been Kazuma's maternal figure for longest time and very protective of her brother.
Despite always beating him up for his stupid mistakes, she cared deeply for him and she would kick anyone's ass if they did anything terrible to him. She is quite the aggressive character as well. Like Kazuma, Shizuru uses brute force, 'beat-you-up-first-and-ask-questions-later,' type of brute force. Sometimes it seems she could be even manlier than Kazuma himself. She is also seen during the Dark Tournament to be very stoic and indifferent about the fact that she was watching a tournament filled with demons. She would often just watched them without making any unusual expressions. Even when Kazuma almost got killed a few times, she didn't seem to show much emotions towards that. Perhaps it was because she knows he won't die that easily.
At the Dark Tournament another form of her personality is revealed. The mysterious owner of Team Toguro, Sakyou managed to save her a few times from trouble. Their first meeting was one of the rare moments in which Shizuru revealed other parts of her emotions aside her usual aloof front. He also had warned her to be careful since they were surrounded by demonic spectators. Shizuru also exchanged little dialogue with him a few times, and it seemed that there was a strange chemistry emerging between the two of them. Their relationship seemed odd but it was quite interesting. At the end of the Dark Tournament, Sakyou blew up the stadium and disappeared into the rubble. He left her his match and clearly this time, Shizuru shows her emotions by calling out to him and having to be taken away by Koenma for her own safety.
With that said, she revealed another portion of her personality during the 2nd fight against Team Ichigaki. She could sense the inner-goodness of the Team Ichigaki players. Like a maternal figure she was, she told Kazuma to be cautious and defend himself. He should put himself before others. Kazuma is an important part of her life and when Kazuma feigned his death during the Dark Tournament Finals, she had shown how much she cared for her brother by bursting into tears and yelling his name. The only thing that was left unsaid was if this scene was an act to make it more believable for Yuusuke or that Shizuru had no idea.
She doesn't fear much but she does fear for her brother when he's out doing dangerous missions. Shizuru treats everyone pretty much the same with her usual bluntness and force. She cares for all the girlfriends she's made and with them when she wanted to. She'll usually be the type of person to protect them if anything were to happen. She's a straight forward character who will speak her mind. She doesn't give a damn if the odds are against her. She would always find a way to prevail. Overall, she's a very consistent character who can kick majour ass. She doesn't give a shit about what anyone has to say or even if they are human or not.
She doesn't take anyone's crap. Also, she isn't the type to butt into anyone's business, but she usually takes things into her own hands and get it done. Shizuru likes her smokes too, since sometimes she is seen with them in her mouth and smoking in other parts of the series. She also can drink and hold her alcohol pretty well, but she probably wouldn't be like Yuusuke's Mother though. She could control herself to an extent.
History:
Kuwabara, Shizuru is the older sister of Kuwabara, Kazuma. She's not that much older than him. Shizuru's first appearance was during Yuusuke and Kuwabara's Rescue Mission. This mission was for the two of then to go rescue a koorime (ice maiden) by the name of Yukina. Koenma had given the two an encrypted video tape that no human would be able to see. IF they were to look on the screen, they would only see fuzzy static activity. Shizuru, however gifted with the same spiritual awareness as Kuwabara was able to see it. She pointed it out to the two of them, but they denied it. Despite seeing the weird image of a baby giving her brother and his friend orders, without saying much after that and left them alone with their bizarre tape.
Her role becomes more important when the Dark Tournament Saga came about. When Yuusuke and Kuwabara suddenly disappeared at the opening of the saga, she along with Yukimura, Keiko went to approach Botan, the River Styx or aka Ferry Girl. She demanded that Botan tell her where the two boys went and why there were no traces of them at as of recently. Botan, was aware that the two of them didn't know about Reikai (Spirit World) she tried to limit her explanation as much as possible. Of course, Shizuru did not buy it and kept interrogating her until Botan finally caved and told them about the Dark Tournament and what the boys were up to. Without even thinking it over, Shizuru demanded that they go to where Kazuma and Yuusuke were. Even after Botan's explanation about the Dark Tournament, Shizuru seemed fairly calm and stoic about it. She was curious to why they were rash enough to partake in such a dangerous tournament.
She had no idea that Yuusuke, and Kuwabara along with their friend Kurama were forced into the tournament by Otoutou Toguro (Younger Toguro.) She decided though, along with Keiko and the small group close to Yuusuke and Co. to watch the tournament unfold. Shizuru remained as she usually was stoic, and calm. She wasn't affected by the dangerous games that the tournament offered, but often took matters into her own hands when she feels that certain parts were not treated to accordingly. With Botan, Yukina, and Keiko she would take matters in her own hands when their safety was concerned. She fearlessly fought lower class demons when she felt the need to. She didn't like those slimy things anyway.
During one of the conflicts, she found the situation was out of control and they had to make a run for it, Shizuru encounters Sakyou, the man who was pulling the strings of the Dark Tournament and also the owner of Team Toguro. After helping her escape, he revealed himself to be a mere human as well. They shared a strange set of looks. Shizuru was then assisted by this man a few more times. Shizuru and Sakyou's relationship could be put in the strange category, but nonetheless interesting to observe. Their attraction for each other gradually increased. She continues to play the supportive role during the rest of the Dark Tournament Arc and was clearly unwell when Genkai was killed. She had a really bad feeling right before the Tournament Finals, and then during the finals she learned that Genkai had died thanks to Ani Toguro (Older Toguro.)
When the Tournament ended with Team Urameshi's win, Shizuru runs into him the final time during the collapse of the fighting stadium. Sakyou had lost so he was going to tear down the stadium along with his plans. He as going to bury everything. This encounter like the last few was a speechless. The man only glanced at her and tossed her his black a gold lighter for her to remember him by. He waves and then he parts into the stadium that was crumbling. Of course, Sakyou very much died with his plans. She was devastated so she cried for him as Koenma dragged her off in which they barely escaped the collapse of the stadium.
Everything was back to normal for a short time. At least that was what it appeared to be for the young woman, but once again she played a supportive role during the Sensui Saga when she had spotted Puu flying down towards the hospital with Keiko following it. Soon after that Shizuru ran after the girl and realizing soon enough that there was something clearly wrong with their home. There parasites of all shapes and small sizes dangling from people and all over the place. They were Makai insects that she did not see. One in the hospital Shizuru noticed the special insects that was within the territory. She tried to fight them off until Genkai went to save them.
Then we speed off to when Kuwabara was about to be kidnapped. Shizuru rushed down the stairs to get to her brother in time since Mitarai told them that Sensui was after her brother and his new ability. Of course, instead of getting there on time she was injured by the explosion that Sensui caused. Injured and unconscious, she was taken back to the torn down apartment by Kurama. Shizuru would support her brother from the background when they went to fight Sensui and his cronies. When the battle was over, he returned safe and sound. She then started to beat Kuwabara down, demanding that he start studying for high school. She once again plays her maternal role for her younger brother.
Lastly, she comes back again at the end of the series when the group had their reunion and when Genkai gave them her will. She looks older and more mature. Her significance in the series itself is the maternal and adult figure for her brother and a young woman like no other. She protects what she believes and she is neutral about good or bad. It doesn't matter to her as long as it was done for the right reasons.
Roleplay Sample - Log:
She was standing in the middle of what appeared to be a white room, you know those kinds of rooms that reminded you of a hospital room. Even the smell was almost equivalent. It wasn't that she didn't like hospitals. It was just a little plain and definitely not her apartment. The brown haired woman switched her footing to take a few steps forward. Her expression seemed bored, as if she was expecting something like this to happen. She didn't even seem to be bothered by the fact that she was collared as well.
The numbers on the collar as she glanced through the mirror were probably the location of where this room, or 'her' room was. Since Kazuma did so many missions, she's not too worried about how he was, but more importantly where he was. What happened to the apartment? She pulls open the door. The woman looked outside as she did. Well, it was certainly invaded with white. So much white that she seemed to be almost blinded by it. There was an unlit cigarette in her mouth as she stepped out the door.
"Hey, Kazu!" she replied in her usual tone. It was an authoritative tone, "Baby bro if you're sticking around outside you better answer me," he she replied almost making a face. Damn, where was her lighter? The woman was now standing int he middle of the hallway, "Eerie enough," she mused almost sarcastically. Something about her sixth sense was telling her that this was an unpleasant place. There was sudden charges of Reiki and Youki alike, that she started to feel slightly dizzy. Somehow, this special ability seemed to be passed down to a lot of the Kuwabaras. Especially people like Shizuru and her younger brother.
Too bad she couldn't manifest her own reiki into anything. Lucky for Kazuma anyhow. She can't promise that she won't kick any poor person's butt if she didn't get some answers any day soon, but other than that a lighter might have done her good. She wondered if this place has a lighter or something. She pulled something out of her pant pockets while trying to search for a match. She glanced at it. It briefly reminded her of the compact communicator that Kuwabara used to have. She pushed a random button on it and not so surprisingly, it turned on. She raised a brow, "High tech technology eh?" she moved the cigarette again, "It should be useful."
She mused briefly before speaking into it, with her neutral expression, "Anyone got a lighter or some source of fire?" she mused. Since it seemed like this place probably didn't even have a lighter anyway... She'll just keep walking and exploring.
Roleplay Sample - Journal:
[ The device is turned on roughly. There's a young woman with a cigarette in her mouth barely lighted, but it was there. She shifted as she glanced at the device. ]
Oi is this on? Gadgets these days...
[ There's a pause. ]
Kazu, if you're here, you'd better respond. I don't like being in the dark. I am certain you know that baby bro.
[ Her expression was strangely indifferent despite her tone of voice. She isn't too surprised. ]
What's this suppose to be, a collar? I don't believe I'm into this kind of kink.
[ She stares at the collar through the small mirror. She switches the direction of the cigarette again. ]
If some demon is behind this Kazu, I hope you've already kicked his ass, or I'm reeling yours. Any of you boys who are Kazu's friends, you better start giving me an explanation why I'm here and why my baby brother isn't anywhere to be found, yet.
