#The Elegance of The Black Lily (Futatsu-Fēng)

[maddmuses]

Futatsu's mad about (at) her brother (Marechiyo) today.

So a quick thing about me (madd) and shipping, and trust.

Though I have plenty of male-attracted muses (though I actually misrepresent their orientation on my muse list because so many gross dudes have tried to just force ship on them that I changed it) I am actually pretty selective about what guy muses I ship with.

It's like in real life, where the only guys who have ever hit on me have ever been very rude and crass, and a lot of time it feels like that in RPC too.

You have to be able to express SOME charm, and in some cases I might still not be into it.

I have a slight bias towards certain ships (Harmione and NaruSaku are actually ones I really like) that I simply won't ship without a suitable partner to write it. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Unrelated note: Futatsu @ Hayden's ass.

Futatsu-Fēng (兩蜂)

(Credit: on the hunt)

Date of Birth: June 7th Place of Birth: Rukongai District 11 Rank: Onmitsukido Executive Militia, 5th Strike-force Leader Species: Born Soul

Appearance Tall, for a Fēng, Futatsu is taller than some men. Slender, yet curvaceous, she hardly gives off the impression of a warrior, despite impressive physical power belied by her appearance. Her features are soft and fair, complementing the parts of her body which are soft, and her thin limbs. Most of the time, she tends to wear the back portion of her hair back over and into something of a large bun tucked beneath itself, tied in a headband which is visible from the front, while she keeps two long strands to each side to maintain the illusion of length. Further, her soft face is framed by said soft features.

Futatsu’s eyes are a unique shade of brown, appearing to be almost red or violet in certain lights, which may cause some to think of blood. Aware of this comparison, she often paints her nails a vibrant dark pink, or light red.

Most of the time she tends to dress conservatively, but balancing some whimsey into whatever she wears, excepting her Onmitsukido uniform, which trades a traditional headband for one which is modified to hold a number of long and sharp spikes that typically appear to be pins to help with keeping her hair done up. Additionally, while keeping her face visible, unless she uses a mask that has been modified to function as a scarf, large parts of her body are revealed to the eye of others. Confident and willing to rely on her reiatsu for defense, as well as the tradition of kunoichi wearing revealing clothing to distract her opponents, and keep herself confident with her skin being shown, in hopes of someday developing Shunko.

Personality The type of person who one might expect to find in the Stealth Force, Futatsu has no issue killing others and falling orders without hesitation. However, this creates an extremely deviant line of thought for her, as she was taught that killing people is often the simplest solution to complex problems, she often has to be bound by the chain and letter of command to simply not do away with her problems in such a fashion, as well as some sense of self-preservation.

Outside of her work, however, Futatsu is a fairly gentle and kind person. Known to spend a lot of time with her family, those that will tolerate her that is, she frequently cooks and plays games with her younger relatives. Children have a style of thought that she can quickly take to, so they’re the people she has the easiest time getting along with; thanks to mutual understanding. Similarly, Futatsu finds herself drawn to adults who others might label as “stupid” “simple” or “direct��.

Protective of others, Futatsu is seen as a big sister to many of her younger cousins, as well as her younger and older siblings, becoming a self-styled guardian for them even when she had not yet developed her superhuman strength.

Rather apolitical, she has no real aspirations in the realm of souls and shinigami, caring little for who she might have to marry someday, or what the machinations of the Central 46 might do to her life, so long as the Fēng clan is not put in any broad danger around it. Similarly, though, if some manner of force were to set its sights on her family, Futatsu wouldn’t hesitate to act within her grasps of power to do away with any such threats.

Biography Born of a bond between a Fēng lady, and an interloper whose identity was made a secret due to the scandal which it might cause, Futatsu-Fēng was seen as something of a burden to her family’s presentation outwardly. But simply abandoning the cousin of the clan’s previous head, because of her own daughter being born under such circumstances, stood to lose the family even more face, particularly with the shortage of born heirs following the numerous death of the clan’s current head. Even a distant cadet branch of the clan is indispensable, due to how things tend to pan out for the immigrant souls.

Futatsu had little of this context growing up, however. She simply knew that many of her relatives were distant people, and that her elder siblings always had an aura that made her feel like they were lying to her. It wasn’t until she was an adolescent, and that her younger siblings came along, that she noticed something was wrong. The way in which said brothers and sisters were handled differently from her as she grew up, particularly at stages which she could remember, made Futatsu suspicious of those adults around her.

Eventually she would learn from her mother why their family was cold towards her, though it was something they were endeavoring to keep a secret, and so it was not something they were readily telling children. It’s thanks to this that she is readily able to trust the children in her family, as aside from how adults may speak to her, they have a weak sense of bias towards her.

As is expected of every member of her family, Futatsu was trained to join the Onmitsukido, and upon succeeding the entrance exam to join the Executive Militia, she remained within the clan as-is tradition.

Skills and Abilities Seated Officer-Level Operative: If compared most directly to someone within the Gotei 13, Futatsu is on a level similar to that of a 5th seat or higher, but not as strong as a lieutenant might be. -Shunpo Master -Hakuda Master -Weapons Practitioner: Her ability with weapons is broad, though she lacks specialty in any of them her proficiency is sufficient that more or less any weapon, even an unconventional one, still enhances her killing potential, particularly if they are well-suited to her hakuda. -High Spiritual Power -Kido Practitioner

Stealth and Killing Arts: Consistent with her training in the Stealth Force, Futatsu is an exceptional assassin, able to kill and get the drop on her targets with ease. However, just as much as she is stealthy, Futatsu has alternative ways of gaining access to her mark.

Superhuman Physical Condition: Contrary to her actual appearance, or spiritual power, Futatsu is exceptional in terms of strength, speed, and durability. Her attributes being more on-part with a lieutenant or a captain inherently, these parameters didn’t come from training, but seemed to manifest when she underwent puberty. It’s more akin to a natural talent, than any unique prowess of hers.
