Gensoukyou:Hieda no Akyuu

Background
(Not done!!)

Hieda No Akyuu was born in 1994 as the 9th reincarnation of Hieda No Are. Usually, the reincarnation process erases all memories one had of their previous life. However, due to Are’s power-- The ability to remember everything she has seen-- this does not apply to the children of Miare.She grew up with all the knowledge required to continue her work as she had in each life before, chronicling the history of Gensoukyou. By the age of ten, she had finished the main parts of the chronical and had it proof read by important figures in Gensoukyou to be sure that it was accurate; including people like Yukari Yakumo, Marisa Kirisame, and Reimu Hakurei. She continues to update it with relevant information she happens across. With the main objective of this incarnation complete, she has decided to try to enjoy this life while she can, going out and visiting friends. Recently, she has wanted to try and go outside of the Human Village to experience things on her own, but the Chronicals are her top priority, so she tends to be pretty wary about moving too far from the village (though this usually only consists of going to Hakurei Shrine).

Personality
Akyuu is a dutiful, well-read and curious person. She likes social interaction, always making time for those that take time out of their day to come over and visit, which is only strengthened by the fact that she has more time than she did prior to finishing the main part of the 9th generation’s addition to the Chronicles of Gensoukyou, so she spends whatever time she doesn’t use to gather resources and articles for additions to the chronicles to enjoy herself a little.

The weight of her responsibility and the knowledge of the necessary events in order to keep the reincarnation cycle going weighs heavily on her, though she tries not to show it if people are looking, if only because she dislikes it when people feel sorry for her due to her rather small amount of remaining life in the current incarnation; in reality this is something that she chose to do, not really anything worthy of pity. This actually extends somewhat of her dislike of others treating her as a child due to this ninth body, when in all actuality, her experiences extend far past those of other humans.

Being the head of the Hieda House, she is actually a little spoiled. She has but to ask for something; if it is within the family’s power, it is hers. Even so, she is very respectful and often behaves as a proper lady, mostly within the household itself, slightly less so otherwise.

Power/Combat
While Akyuu does not possess a great amount of power in the sense that a normal person might in Gensoukyou, she is incredibly skilled at creating leylines and sigils. With these, she is capable of creating a wide variety of magical effects. The power and scope of these effects depends on how they are written. In fact, she could be, at least superficially, one of the most powerful people in the village. Despite that, she is still more or less a normal human, lacking the ability to even fly.

-The Scrolls: These scrolls are filled with many different sigils and arcane symbols. Using these, she can amplify energy that the scroll draws from the air in order to power their specified function, similar to what ghosts and phantoms do. By combining many of these scrolls, it is possible to create chains of spells to bring about a certain, devastating effect-- given that she has the time to be set up. The power of these scrolls can also be amplified by leylines.

Akyuu’s true worth and influence comes from the ability passed down the reincarnations since Hieda No Are: The ability to remember everything she sees. Anything and everything can be recalled by Akyuu as long as she has seen/heard it. Though, ancient times in Gensoukyou are fuzzy and unclear to even her, perhaps distorted by the sheer amount of time that has passed since then.

Spellcards
None

Major
Keine Kamishirasawa- A fellow scholar. Keine often uses the Chronicles Akyuu writes in her history lessons. Occasionally, the two will discuss their interpretations of history over tea.

Kosuzu Motoori- A fellow book lover and a vendor of books, Akyuu and Kosuzu see each other regularly and talk about scholarly things. Akyuu is more open around her, dropping her sometimes over polite manner and conversing more earnestly with her.

Yukari Yakumo- an acquaintance from when she was called Aichi. She has a great deal of respect for the Youkai Sage and values her opinions. However, she still tends to be a tad wary of her when they do speak with each other, if only because of the general nature of Youkai.

Minor
Reimu Hakurei- She is acquainted with the Hakurei Shrine Maiden and she likes to keep tabs on her due to her importance in Gensoukyou’s history. She sometimes goes to visit the Shrine, typically leaving a rather large donation before leaving.

Trivia
-Akyuu is not likely to live past the age of 35.

-During the 120-180 year gap that Akyuu needs in order to reincarnate correctly, she works for Shikieiki, Yamaxanadu. However, since she isn't actually of much use to the Yama, she is charged with watching over the village, ensuring that a sort of balance is maintained.
