0-A Sentinel +5 DR
0-B Shinobi 101 Taijutsu
0-C Shadow Tactics
1: Bull's Strength
If there was something that could be considered unusual about Keiko then it certainly must had been the fact that despite her petite form she possessed an inhuman amount of strength. While some believe that this power is inherited by the girl from her mother who was known to possess such physical prowess that she made even the strongest men in the village look fragile compared to her. At the other hand if Tsuyuri had any opinion about the matter then it might had been a fact that it wasn’t only because of Keiko’s lineage but also the influence of the war-loving Youkai Oni that had been a part in the reason behind her unnatural strength.
2: Defensive Technique +10% DR
There is a saying that the best offense is a good defense and that someone who was able to combine both was guaranteed to become nearly unbeatable in battle. It was this saying that had made Keiko develop an unnatural way of fighting that abandoned any sense of evasion, instead relying upon an overwhelming physical strength, combined with a solid defense to endure as much harm as possible, while suffering as little damage as possible. Perhaps it might also had something to do with the fact that Oni loved to instill a sense of confidence in her enemy by allowing them to hit her, just so that she could crush their spirits when they realized how futile harming her would be.
3: Fearless +10% DR
With greater power comes great responsibilities, but often also a sense of confidence and pride that makes one nearly incapable of knowing the sensation most people know as fear. For Keiko who has faced death itself the mere aspect of fear and dying sound almost trivial and her reckless nature truly shows this. There is little that intimidates the girl once she picks up her weapon, and it would be unlikely for her to hesitate even if clear danger lurks before her. In the end why should she fear death, when she’s one of those beings walking within Tsuchi no Kuni that has come closest to immortality?
4: Jutsu Creator
Sometimes being capable of thinking outside the box is a necessary element in surviving within a dangerous world that shinobi dwell in. Perhaps it’s because of her unusual upbringing, or merely the child-like mentality that she often possesses, Keiko is known to have a knack for coming up with the most unusual, silly or plain ridiculous ideas and somehow be capable of making them work. For example most would assume a sword to be used for melee combat… yet forget such a thing around Keiko. Combine a chain with a sword and you get an excellent projectile for long-range impalement or just bloody messes in general. It’s silly tricks like that what makes Keiko both innovative but also just be a plain threat to most.
5: Jutsu Mastery -10% CP cost
To master a technique means to be capable of pulling the most out of a specific power. It’s a gift not everyone possesses, for it requires time, effort and a lot of dedication for one to master a technique. Perhaps it’s the fact that Keiko focused mostly upon Taijutsu that the girl found herself holding a natural affinity toward them, in the end she had neither Ninjutsu or Genjutsu to worry about so in the end all her dedication toward that one field had caused the girl to become something akin to an expert on martial arts. In the end who needs some fireballs or illusions when your fists can punch a person’s guts out of their behind?
6: Human Anatomy +1 critical chance
If there is one thing that is necessary when using martial arts then it is the knowledge of how the body works and functions. Knowing what the weakest points in one’s body are allows you to strengthen those points, building up a defense where another person would see a weakness while knowing the fragile points of your opponent would expose them to sometime truly devastating attacks. For Keiko who considered her reckless attitude a boon in combat it was often necessary to be able to protect her weak points, and hit the enemy so hard they didn’t get the chance to land a second strike.
7: Duelist
If there is one thing that invigorates a warrior like Keiko then it’s a classic one on one brawl. Multiple opponents serve only to distract you and in all honestly she’d prefer to savor the sensation of beating her enemies one by one. In the end why would she need to rush a battle, when instead she could let all the enemies line up in a row and challenge her one by one? It certainly didn’t sound like they were in a rush to die so they might as well wait a little and let her have some fun in the process!
8: Initiative
To enter the battlefield one needs to take initiative. In the end those who are quick at making decisions are usually the ones who end up walking away from the bloodbath when all is said and done. Because of her reckless attitude in battle Keiko often displays a certain impulsive behavior that when people would quickly end up calculating a strategy she just takes the initiative and attacks on a whim. In the end who is she to be blamed for the fact she didn’t go to school? Not to mention that it sounded rather boring so… Leave strategies to the bookworms or her mama!
9: Quickdraw
Sometimes you need to be able to move your hands quickly, and for once this didn’t simply refer to the ability to grope someone before they realized it. As a Taijutsu fighter Keiko needed to have the capacity to quickly draw her weapons once a battle started. In the end the girl had done so much training that she made it a habit to practice drawing her weapons at least one thousand times a day… Okay that was an obvious lie, but they do say practice makes perfect and judging from the amount of battles she gets into she had a lot of practice!
