CURRENT CHARACTERS: Otoya Ittoki
CHARACTER INFORMATIONSERIES:
NAME: Benio
RACE: Yatagarasu (three legged crow demon)
AGE: Over 100 years old, physically a 10-12 year old boy
CANON POINT: Right after her fight with Kurobara Renji and Senryou, end of book 4.
REFERENCES: JA Wiki | Wikia | Manga | some scans
GENDER: Physically male, mentally female, gender pronoun will be she/her
APPEARANCE: Benio | Kisshou
PERSONALITY & HOUSE REQUESTS:
At first glance, Benio seems like your average blonde preteen, with her champagne-gold locks framing a delicate doe face, bright dilated golden eyes, a sweet little birthmark near the bottom left of her plump lips. She's a bit of a ditz and an airhead, with a sweet little-girl lisp to add to the cuteness factor. Most often than not, she'll speak in third person, and ends most sentences with a lilt and a heart, especially if she's texting. Even though she portrays constant naïveté and innocence, she knows how to use her angelic sweetness to the best ability when it comes to charming humans and demons alike; a hellhound and a nekomata (two-tailed demon cat) being two of the demons she managed to fool. Even then, she has problems with trusting people, because of what happened to her when she was younger. The only person she trusts is her oldest brother Bishamon, who ended up spoiling her rotten and causing her to have a brother complex with him. She reveres the oldest yatagarasu to the point that she idolises him as her god, and will do whatever it takes for his love, reluctantly going to her middle brother Benten's bar as a messenger, even when she hates the half-blood (Benten is half-yatagarasu half-snake demon, but Bishamon still loves him despite being a half-blood, thus spawning Benio's hate for Benten, who deems the middle brother unworthy of Bishamon's love.)
Her brother complex doesn't begin with Bishamon spoiling her to the core though. Benio grew up amongst humans in a small rural village, and because of the rumour that yatagarasu flesh would make a human stronger, Benio was hunted down by the humans she grew up with and had her legs chopped up and body sliced open. Bishamon saved her before she was killed, sewing her legs back and shifting her heart to the right side of her chest so she wouldn't be easily killed. She values him as her saviour, though without her knowledge, served as the first test subject for Bishamon's experimenting for Zone-00, an illegal drug made from demon flesh and blood which turns ordinary humans into demons, and makes other demons stronger. Benio in turn became addicted to the drug, becoming a Zone-00 junkie who will go into withdrawal without constant supply of the drug (thus explaining her constantly dilated pupils and spaced out look).
Never forget that underneath all that sweet girly cuteness is a demon. Kisshou, Benio's 'adult persona', is the masochistic yatagarasu who loves the taste of blood, especially that of demons. She doesn't fight fair at all; using her wings as an advantage over land-bound demons, teases her opponents with her quickness, and like the spoilt brat Benio is, Kisshou will do whatever it takes to win, even if it means losing a limb or an eye or even her clothes. She doesn't mind much when she loses her body parts or her clothes, because the strength of Zone-00 fuels her quick regeneration, and the only way to distinguish between both forms is the eyes; Kisshou has goat-like eyes where the pupils are horizontally rectangular, while Benio has bright dilated pupils.
HOUSE CHOICE 1: Slytherin. She knows what she wants, and she does whatever it takes to get it. She's also a little obsessed with blood purity, and she's selfish with things that matter to her. I cannot think of any other house to place her in though.
COMMUTER DETAILS: Tapped
POSITION: Student
ABILITIES & POWERS: Being a yatagarasu, she is an adept flyer both in her demon crow mode and her humanoid mode, made faster with her tiny build. She uses weapons of the poetic design: bells, bows and beads, launching wicked air attacks with her weapons. She's able to morph between her normal yatagarasu form and the human form seamlessly within a blink of an eye. In Hogwarts, she's more likely to master wind-based spells and flying. Also, since she works with her brother Bishamon in a clinic, she would excel in potion-making.
WAND: 10in, Cherry, Yatagarasu feather core (one of her own), light. Being a demon of Japanese folklore, cherry would be appropriate, and her powers are easily channeled through a wood that's closer to home. Also, the core is made from her own feather, thus making it unique and answers only to her.
MISC.: She requires a constant supply of Zone-00, which I assume would be provided by Madame Pomfrey?

Eto, is this how you work this?
[ Alone in her dorm room, Benio taps at the commuter, blinking before her eyes go wide when it pulls up a couple of options for her to play around with. Giggling, she lies on her back, the view blurring as she swings the commuter up, tapping a few more times before she settles with the video. ]
Aah, so it works? [ Smiling brightly. ] Hi-hi! Benio here~ ♥
[ She giggles again, flopping onto her stomach this time, the commuter laid out in front of her. ] Is this really in England? It's so far away from Tokyo, where Benio's from. There're more demons here, right? And magical humans. All the magic, all the fun? Humans shouldn't play with magic, it's dan~ger~ous~ ♥ Should leave it to experts, like my big brother Bishamon! He's the smartest of everyone, and Benio's sure everyone has heard of him. If you haven't, then shame on you! ♥
THIRD PERSON:
It was Benio's first Potions lesson, and she was possibly the first person to be seated in the classroom, a tiny blond thing swaddled in robes near the front of the class. Somehow the robe seemed to be a little too big for her small frame, slipping off her shoulders and puddling around her wrists. She didn't seem to mind much, possibly because of the excitement bubbling in her as she waited for the rest of the student body to trickle in, and finally the professor arrived, solemn and grim-faced.
As Mr Grumpyface (Benio couldn't catch his name the first round, and settled for this nickname instead since he's perpetually grumpy-looking) started the lesson, Benio looked at her potions book, then at her cauldron and the ingredients. Potion-making should be the same as medicine-making, right? Only with the added swishing-and-flicking of the wand and some magical word uttering, like in the Charms lesson. She didn't pay much attention to the low droning of the professor, only listening to the recipe and ingredients needed for today's lesson.
"Should be easy enough!" she chirped once the professor stopped talking and started on the potion, carefully measuring out the ingredients as she would with normal, non-magical medicine. A bit of snake fang here, crushed billywig sticks there, stirring the cauldron, wolfsbane, and, with a wave of her wand and mumbling the words listed in her book, she waited until the potion stopped bubbling before raising her hand excitedly.
"Sensei! Professor, I'm done!"
Beaming with pride, she waited for him to approach, bouncing excitedly in her seat.
