Kura was jealous of the rich so much that one day, she on purposely put a whole cup of rat poison into a merchant's drink. The merchant nearly died from the poison and asked for help to recover before heading into the capital. Kura immediately bargained with the merchant, if she cured the poison, he would bring her into the capital and the merchant agreed.

Alias: Silent Shadow
Personality: + Quiet, unnerving, soft
- Miserable, negative, unconvincing
History: Kei was born in a rich family with many siblings that all cared for each other. One spring day, he was playing fighting with his older brother when they suddenly got kidnapped by a strange man who said he wanted to pass down the old traditions. It turns out these traditions that he was talking about was part of a small group of killers, or assassins. They would kidnap young teens to train and the brainwashed kids would join the group once they reach the age of 17. Kei was forced to train but he would always find an excuse to run away for a few days before going back. During training, he found ambushing his enemy was his favourite way of approaching an enemy and focused on that for a full year. His brother once reached the age of 17, he was sent on a mission right away. Kei waited for his return for 4 years but the brother never came back, Once Kei was old enough to join, he too received a mission right away just like his brother. He was sent to join another assassin group and wait for further instructions from his leaders. Kei first refused because he thought being a spy with no skills like him would be impossible but he was talked into it and finally agreed.

Iskari Kazaka
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Alias: The Arachnid
Occupation: Freelance Assassin
Residence: Nomadic
MBTI/Alignment/Enneagram: ISTP-A, Neutral Good, Investigator (type 5)
Appearance: Iskari stands at approximately 5'4, not particularly tall nor short for her age. She has rather pale skin, and short hair, that fades from auburn-red on the left, to grey on the right. Her eyes are a rather cold shade of blue-grey. Most of Iskari's facial features are rather small, yet sharp on her face, which could be classified as a slightly wide inverted triangle. In terms of clothing, Iskari wears a half-red, half-grey robe, mirroring her hair, over simple grey, dobok-style combat attire. Beneath her robe, Iskari conceals two dark katana.
History: Iskari was born into a rather poor family in the outskirts of a small city. At the age of three, she and her seven-year-old brother were orphaned after their parents lost their lives to a plague outbreak that they were too poor to defend themselves from. After fleeing the city for several weeks in an attempt to avoid the plague, Iskari was abandoned by her brother, unable to care for her, in a large, secluded, dense, and unpopulated forest.. On the brink of death, she was found by a clandestine group of assassins, and taken in. For years, Iskari trained as an assassin, accumulating skills in many areas; including, but not limited to, martial arts, swordsmanship and deceit.
Over the years, Iskari has committed many crimes, namely assassinations, leading a rather dangerous life. She has assassinated several significant political figures in her career, however her identity is widely unknown. Rather, those who are aware of her existence because of the crimes she has committed know her simply as 'The Arachnid', denoting her elaborate traps, which few have escaped, her swift, silent, yet deadly skills in combat, and the fear that stories of her crimes inspire in the minds of the general public.
Personality: Iskari is a loner, of sorts. She rarely agrees to work with others, and is stubbornly independent, to the point of refusing to ask for help even when she desperately needs it. Iskari is very distant from others, acting in a rather cold, detached, and curt manner when around strangers or casual acquaintances. Iskari has rather major trust issues, which contributes greatly to her reluctance to work as part of a team. She is quite paranoid when forced to rely on others, constantly worried that they will betray her.
After one does manage to earn Iskari's trust, she appears to be a much different person. Although she often seems very cold and logical, she can be much kinder, relaxed, and reflectively insightful once she truly trusts a person. When it comes to her skills in combat, swift, critical thinking, and immense, instinctual intellect, Iskari is very reliable and is quite commonly admired by those around her. She can, however, be very unreliable, especially when it comes to more social situations that are less urgent.
Iskari's greatest fear is true commitment. When it comes to a contract in work, Iskari has no problems with fulfilling her promised duties, however commitment in terms of loyalty and social stability is rare for Iskari. She shies away from it at all costs, leaving loose ends amongst many after having simply disappeared. Iskari is recognized as a nomad for this; she quietly slips into groups, however never stays for long and never forms many bonds, even distant ones, silent slipping away before anyone has a chance to protest.
Iskari firmly believes that respect must be earned. She is never outright rude to someone for no reason, however she never goes out of her way to give more respect than is common courtesy to anyone who has not earned that respect. This personal belief does not change for her elders or other groups who may consider themselves superior to her; true respect must always be earned, no matter one's social standing.
With a rather dangerous lifestyle, Iskari has had little choice but to be constantly alert and concentrating her whole life. She is a very calm and level-headed person, generally, rarely finding herself too flustered or anxious to manage. She avoids wasting time at all costs, swiftly completing whatever work needs to be done with little time spent procrastinating. This rule differs, however, when it comes to Iskari's internal problems. External work is always completed immediately, however internal problems are often pushed away and left unresolved for long periods of time.
Because of this reluctance to deal with her own, personal issues, Iskari tends to suppress negative emotions, which leads to major buildups of stress, grief, and doubt. She experiences frequent periods of mental instability due to this, though depending on the severity, she is usually able to ignore it in urgent situations which require clear judgement. When in very concerning mental states, Iskari often attempts to wait her situation out, refusing to talk to anyone or ask for even the slightest bit of help, no matter how hard it may be.
In terms of her worldviews and approach to life, Iskari has a very strong, notable moral code. Although she is an assassin, she would never kill simply for her own personal gain, and refrains from killing anyone, if not under orders to, if she does not truly believe that their death would benefit society as a whole. When it comes to contracts, Iskari will accept almost any task, without questioning why her client may want the subject killed, however she will make exceptions and refuse jobs if they go strongly against her moral code.
Iskari is not an overwhelmingly optimistic person, however she wouldn't necessarily be classified as pessimistic either. Iskari considers herself to be more of a realist, taking situations as they are and considering all their aspects. Iskari finds that she has little time for hopes, dreams, and fantasies; she focuses on the present, and what she can confirm to exist, rather than imagining what could be or might have been.
Due to her issues with trust and reliance, as well as her need for her priorities to be palpable, Iskari considers herself incapable of faith or spirituality. She holds great respect for those who are religious, and thinks of religion as a beautiful thing, however she finds herself incapable of believing in, worshiping, and dedicating herself to something that she has no manifest proof of.
Iskari's main motivation in life is simply that she sees no other choice but to live. To her, giving in to death without much of a struggle would be easily considered giving up, something which Iskari would be rather ashamed to do. Her more tangible motives are a desire for knowledge, and answers. Iskari longs to find her brother, Fornix Kazaka, however has never been too intent on revenge. Although she despises her brother for abandoning her to die, she has always been more interested in simply knowing why than actually exacting some form of revenge.

"You hesitated, Shiro. You'll need to be faster than that to survive a real fight. If you want to hold your own against me, you have to fight prepared to kill me," Harsh, yet seeming to be with good intent, Iskari's words were delivered in a quick, curt manner as the young woman stepped back from her opponent, a boy who looked to be one or two years younger than her.
"Now, my apologies, but I'll have to be going. Keep training, Shiro. You have potential. Now use it."
With those words, Iskari turned and briskly strode away, retrieving her red and grey robe from the weapons rack on which she had discarded it. Wasting little time, Iskari made her way toward the main complex, a massive cathedral-like building, looming over the courtyard. Making her way inside, Iskari finally slowed, glancing around. In the eerie light of the dawn's sun, strange, colourful patterns were cast across the floor, from the stained glass windows high above, catching the light. Thick pillars cast long, dark shadows across the floor, falling in line perfectly with one another, like a legion of soldiers standing at attention.
It took Iskari a moment to realise she had stopped entirely. Upon this realisation, Iskari quickly resumed her step, making her way swiftly across the main hall of the cathedral, and passing under an arch into a much smaller hall.
After several minutes longer of traversing the web of passages that ran through the cathedral, Iskari found her way to her room. It was a rather modest residence, containing only what was necessary - a plain, unassuming bed, a simple desk and chair, an unlit candle perched on the edge of said desk, and a small set of drawers in the corner, several books stacked on top. Iskari, of course, wasted no time slipping into the chair before her desk, opening the single drawer that the desk held, and searching through the neat stacks of papers that lay there. After a minute, she seemed to locate what she was looking for, and promptly stood, several papers now clutched in her grasp.
And thus, back through the cathedral Iskari strode, her features blank yet strained with tension and alertness as she walked.

♡ ━ Kura
female | | 19 Years | | stables | | tag - Kei
Kura grabbed a brush off the nearby wooden shelf and headed for the stall closest to her. Horses were her favourite way of transportation, they are fast and efficient, which is the best option for a hit and run type of fight, horses have a lot of stamina, easily riding for hours before they tire. She smiled and entered the large oak stall of her personal favourite horse, Thrusher. He is a 6 year old blue roan Arabian stallion that stands around 15.3 hands and Kura loves him. She patted his long neck and whispered, "Want to go for a ride today?" He nickered and Kura laughed softly. She gently brushed his dark coloured mane and thought about where they should go for riding today. Maybe Iskari would want to come along as well, it would be fun as they wouldn't have to worry about any assassinations for one- hopefully sunny morning. Kura's hand suddenly froze as she heard a noise right outside of Thrusher's stall. Him too sensing her tension, didn't move as the whole stable turned menacingly silent.

♢ ━ Kei

male | | 17 Years | | stables | | tag - Kura
Kei followed the quiet laughter into the private stables of the assassins. The place was so big and open he had a trouble finding his way around. Not to mention it blends in perfectly with the other building around the city as it was by the palace of the king and queen. He smiled to himself as he imagined their faces as they found out that he had betrayed them right before their lives were ended. Everything will be going along the plan to kill the royalty and these pesky assassin guardians, or so they think they are. To the eyes of his master, Damian, they are just going to be in the way of the plan so Kei was to exterminate them from the inside as they think the enemy was somewhere out there. He sighed, these assassins are going to be hard to kill without giving away his cover. Kei could tell right away as he had met them the other day. The older girl with the long platinum blonde hair seemed to suspect him the second he joined the small group. He didn't know about the other younger girl but she seemed to radiate a death aura around her as the older one, Coolra- he paused, that isn't her name, but it did sound like it. Coolra. Huh. Coolra, seemed to have a softer and more of a hidden type of aura. Kei didn't understand how the two girls could get along better than he with the other assassin, not to mention all they do every day is drink and go on a killing spree. Kei entered an outdoor stable with plenty of shade and neatly sorted corner with all the riding supplies he could think of. He heard a small noise but couldn't quite hear it well so he inched forward and total silence greeted him. Whoever it was must have heard him and stopped, great, he was so good at stealth nowadays. Kei peeked inside a stall and found a girl staring creepily at him as if her eyes were going to pop out of her sockets and it freaked him out. "Hi... sorry..." He apologized trying to get out of the awkward situation. Before he could run away she spoke, "Why are you here? Are you trying to kill me knowing who I am?" Kei blinked, did she find out about his true mission? No way. "I heard your laughter so I followed it here." She frowned at him as if trying to uncover something underneath those words. This girl, Coolra, most likely hates him. Great. He just made a new enemy that might uncover his mission faster than he could even do anything.
