Personality: Amegatsu is one of the younger members of the Gypsy clan and like other member she too did not inherit the powers of the Hoshigaki bloodline, which runs deep in this clan. There are three paths a gypsy can take and each one is a follower of a different gypsy goddess. Those who inherit the Hashigaki bloodline usually become followers of Luna; Luna followers focus on music and casting illusions through song. Amegatsu chose to be a follower of Tia; followers of Tia focus on dance and primarily use tiajutsu. The two followers normally work together; the Luna providing music for Tia’s dancing. Each follower of Tia focuses on the art of dance, but it is how they dance which truly defines them. Amegatsu was determined to make his mark on the world and perform spectacular feats. He dances with puppets and normally does it on ice like figure skating.
Appearance: Amegatsu has a nice thin body which is also quite flexible; like to the extent that he can wrap her legs around his neck. His muscles are strong due to acrobats; if he flexed his arm, it will likely intimidate other kids his age. He is also fast and agile which is not unusual for a dancer. He is petite but he is not underweight. He is a well-toned oiled machine like the puppets he wields.

History:
Not so long ago there was a caravan of gypsies traveling across the mountains. It was getting dark so they made camp. Unfortunately a demon wondered through those lands. A yuki-ona, a snow demon, froze almost everyone is one of the caravan’s wagons to death in their sleep. Luckily one of the gypsy in this wagon left to get wood for the fire. When he returns he sees his sleep-mates dead with a woman standing there amongst them. The demon would have killed him too, but she found him attractive. She walks to him and places a hand on his cheek as she stares into his eyes. Her hand was soft and cold as ice. He did not flinch from her icy touch for he was entranced by her beauty. Instead he takes her hand and gives it a kiss. Yuki-ona blushes and asks, “What is your name, human?” Her breath was so cold that it was visible.
Still holding her hand he answers, “I am Shikame Tsubasa. What might your name be miss?”
She smiles, “You may call me Yuki.” She then pulls away her hand and continues. ”I am afraid Shikame-san that your team has trespassed through my territory. It is for this reason that your team is now dead.”
“Well we…” Before Tsubasa could say anything else she puts a finger to his lips and whispers into his ear.
“If you do not speak of me, I shall let you live.” Tsubasa silently nods his head. “Good, then we have an agreement. Be sure to remember it.” With a smile she walks away. The next day Tsubasa and the rest of the caravan enters the village of Cloud.
A few years come and go and Tsubasa forgets all about that traumatizing event. He falls in love with a woman and she bares him a son. All was perfect until one cold winter day. It was the day of the winter festival. They completed in the snowman making competition. Tsubasa and his five year old son gather up buckets of snow and the mother shapes it into a figure. She makes a beautiful snow woman. Tsubasa then stupidly mention, “It looks like the yuki-ona I met on one of my missions long ago.”
The smile on his wife’s face quickly fades away and she tells him, “Honey, we need to talk.” Tsubasa was unsure what he did, but it must be something bad to hear those words. Tsubasa and his wife walk off to a nearby tent to talk in private. Once inside his wife turns into yuki-ona, this gave Tsubasa quiet a fright. ”I told you I will kill you if you mention me, but for the sake of our son I shall spare your life.” She then disappears in thin air.
Tsubasa walks back to the snowman and the child asks him, “Where’s mommy?”
Tsubasa kneels down to the kid’s level and hugs him tightly. ”I’m so sorry Amegatsu. She is gone.” Amegatsu did not accept this answer. He slips out of his father’s embrace and runs through the festival grounds crying for his mother. He runs from stall to stall searching until he trips and falls into the snow. He just lays there and cries. Tsubasa picks Amegatsu up, holds him in his arms and strokes his hair gently. Amegatsu starts to calm down and Tsubasa takes him home.
Amegatsu was an avid reader and was always reading stories about ninjas. It was his dream to become a ninja and now that he has reached the age of ten, he is old enough to join the academy. But before he could go he requires his father to sign the form of enrollment. Amegatsu hands him the form and asks him to sign it.
Tsubasa instantly recognizes it and takes a deep breath for he knew this day was going to come sooner or later. Tsubasa fears the demonic spiritual energy flowing within his son’s veins. He knew that the lack of training will cause Amegatsu’s spiritual energy points to become dormant. “Amegatsu, this is for ninjas. We are gypsy. We are nomadic and eventually we will move on away from this place.”
“But”
Tsubasa then spoke in a stern voice, “No buts. You are not to join the academy and that is final.”
Amegatsu angrily runs to his room and slams the door behind him. Now within his inner sanctum he forges his father’s signature on the form. Amegatsu was determined to prove to his father that he can become a Ninja.
The next day Amegatsu turns in the form and attends his first class. He learns how to mold his spiritual energy and being proud of his new skill, he show off in to his father. Amegatsu casts a spit bullet jutsu, which for some reason became an ice bullet. The bullet zooms towards the house, but before it could hit the wall Tsubasa catches it with his bare hands. “What is this? You went to the academy didn’t you?” Tsubasa was yelling on full volume and Amegatsu was too scared to speak. Instead he gave an affirmative nod. ”You are grounded for a month!”
On the last week of his grounding Tsubasa feeling that his son learned his lesson lifts his ground in time for the winter festival. Amegastsu was glad to see the winter festival once again. It was one of his favorite events of the year. When he was younger his parents would take him. He would ride on his mother’s shoulders as his father played the games and winning him prizes.
This would be the first time he would come here alone. He wore a traditional kimono. His kimono was a solid white with a black sash tied around his waist. A little book can be seen tucked inside the sash. It was around noon, but the sun hid behind the clouds. Amegatsu blew on his hands, his breath completely visible. Suddenly a snowflake lands onto his glasses and immediately he looks up to see snow softly descending from the heavens.
He walks around looking for a stall that was indoors. That’s when he saw the fortune teller’s tent. He walks in with his blue hair now white with snow. Inside the tent was dark for the only source of light was a crystal ball that glowed dimly on the table. In front of Amegatsu, he could see a chair and across the table sat a figure that hid in the shadows. Amegatsu could not tell if the teller was male or female, but he took a seat anyways. He notices a deck of cards lying on the table before him. Amegatsu did not ask any questions for a true fortune teller knows exactly what he wants foretold and that is the fortune that will be told. He would not be disappointed for what he needs to hear is what he will hear.
It’s such a simple thing, but in truth it is very difficult to accomplish. Even though a fortune teller offers results that are difficult to confirm it doesn’t give a person to lie or do less than their utmost. A customer comes to the fortune teller with the ardent hope of getting a real divination, and it’s rude to that hope to do less then one’s best.
The fortune teller tells him oh a book he must find; a book that he would find in the attic of his house. While searching he comes across his father’s old journal. He pockets it and the next day he sneaks it to the library to read.
Amegatsu always wondered why his father rarely talked about his mother and now he knew. He wonders if he inherited any of her powers. Eager to find out, he rushes outside. Being the beginning of spring it was raining. He closes his eyes, concentrates but nothing happened.
This half demon thing was a bit overwhelming and his mind was going a mile a minute with questions he wanted to ask his father. Before heading back home Amegatsu goes to the hot spring to quiet his thoughts. He sits in the hot water all relaxed. He closes his eyes and remembers his mother. She was very beautiful and cared for him deeply. Amegatsu recalls a day that he was quite ill. He had an extremely high temperature and was sweating heavily. His mother placed a hand on his forehead and sings him to sleep. As she sang he could feel energy all around him like a cool wet towel enveloping his entire body. Before the song put him to sleep, he could see his sweat droplets turn to flakes of snow.
He opens his eyes and was willing to try one more experiment. He steps out of the water and meditates. He focuses on his spiritual energy, which flowed like water through his body. He touches the water and pours his spiritual energy into it. The water begins to cool as his spiritual energy dilutes it. With one single word, “freeze,” his spiritual energy stops the water molecules from moving thus turning it to ice. Amegatsu felt disappointed with his work. True he succeeded, but it lacked beauty. He had to try again but the water was already frozen. So he permeated the air in his hand with his spiritual energy. It freezes the water vapor in his palm into a senbon, a needle looking weapon. The senbon was hollow and possessed two holes. As he throws it, it makes a beautiful sound.
So it was true. He was a half breed after all. His mother was a demon and his father hid it from him. Amegatsu was happy to see he had special powers, but he was also scared at what he might become. He heard horrible stories about demons. Would he become a monster like those in legends? Maybe in was better that he did not know and lived in ignorance, but that time has passed. Amegastu knows the truth. Now he must face it head on. “I must find out the nature of the demon that has given birth to me. Only then will I know if this power is safe or dangerous.”
Still holding her hand he answers, “I am Shikame Tsubasa. What might your name be miss?”
She smiles, “You may call me Yuki.” She then pulls away her hand and continues. ”I am afraid Shikame-san that your team has trespassed through my territory. It is for this reason that your team is now dead.”

Dec. 27
I am a fool. I married a demon, a yuki-ona. How could I have been so blind? I can’t believe
