Personality:
Karahl is a very calm and collected character, strictly molded
by her training as a skilled Ninja or 'Shadow Warrior'. Due to
her upbringing she strictly demands of herself to appear
unfaltering no matter how strenuous it is for her physically or
mentally in various circumstances. She has a tendency of
addressing Mobians she doesn't know well, a group or peculiar
situations at hand with a respectfully-cold tone; often with a
neutral expression behind her mask - mostly because she prides
in herself in looking and acting professional when in public.
However, when around those she trusts, or grown close to, she
opens up a lot more and has a tendency for sassy remarks. Karahl
is highly protective of her family (especially her younger
siblings) and close friends; so she is willing to do just about
anything to keep them safe. If they are in danger, or
especcially if killed, Karahl no longers try to conceal the
appearance of the 'beast within' and often choose her actions to
be vastly more violent, rash and animalistic.
Bio: Karahl is a wandering traveler whom seeks excitement in the
various cities and towns she visits. She strives to better
herself, particularly her natural talent for, and affinity for
Ninjitsu. Born being comfortable about being a complicated and
often misunderstood tiger - the deceptive ways of Ninjitsu,
combined being a predator whom instinctively lurk and stalk her
prey anyway makes her a worthy adversary should any cross her
path. Hailing from the Snow-Claw Clan, this clan is infamous of
having a rather primal lifestyle, with the infamy of all being
cannibals. Their strict training in the way of Ninjstu allows
for them to keep their blood-lusting urges in check and due to
their diet they have developed a reputation of not leaving any
traces of their targets behind.
Due to her profession, Karahl is often highly critical if she
witnesses any executions; often disapproving if there was any
lacking of skill or form. Being a Ninja, she often lurks to
assess situations and has a frequent habit of 'suddenly
appearing out of nowhere' or dropping from a higher vantage
point to meet with the others. When this happens, it's very
common for her to land either behind anyone present or very
close to them.
Origin Notes:
- Karahl originates from the Snow-Claw Clan which was originally
established East of Land of a Million Lights a few centuries
ago. The Snow-Claw were once a great and well-diverse feline
unit, consisting of hundreds of Jonin and four established Kage.
Forty years ago from present time, the Snow-Claw fell in an
secret civil war against the Songbird Clan
HTML http://sonicspotlightrp.createaforum.com/character-biographies/the-songbird-clan/.<br
/>The Songbird Ninja formulated a merciless attack against the
Snow-Claw ninja, which eventually depleted their numbers from
hundreds to less than a couple dozen. After the war, the
remaining Snow-Claw Ninja spread out all across Mobius, keeping
a low profile and adapting to their new lives whilst avoiding
the Songbird Clan.
- Snow-Claws are largely consisting of members whom are of Big
Cats - predominantly tigers, followed by panthers and snow
leopards.
- A lot of conspiracies float around the history and methods
conducted by the Snow-Claw Clan
- Karahl has a younger sister, Vallerah(approximately sixteen
years old).
- Karahl has a younger brother, Kyro (approximately six years
old).
- Karahl, Vallerah and Kyro were born in Mobotropolis
- Karahl's parents are still alive, but they do not reside in
Mobotropolis. They were constantly on the move, never staying
still in the one city for more than a couple of weeks at a time.
This is for fear of the Songbird Clan might find their children
and kill them.
-To this day Karahl keeps her siblings in a number of hidden
locations, always switching frequently, with no consistency of
how long he would stay there and never revisited the same
places.
- Karahl's parents still keep in touch irregularly, visiting her
two or three times a year at random times and dates just to
check in on them.
Skill Set:
- A master in Ninjitsu
- Primary Weapon: Twin Tonfa made out of reinforced Diamond and
solid Titanium.
- Karahl prefers to work with blunt object as opposed to
oriental weapons such as swords as she often breaks them when
combined with her super strength.
- In close combat her weapons needs to be made out of the same
materials as her primary weapons otherwise the likelihood of her
breaking her own weapons is fairly high.
- Has some knowledge of Okinawan Kobudō, but only in
relation to her Tonfa.
- Secondary Weapons: Standard Ninja Gear (mostly focused on just
Kunai and Smoke Grenades)
- Highly advanced in stealth (she's a ninja!)
- One cannot simply sneak up on a ninja. However, just because
you're most likely unable to catch her by surprise, whether or
not she is able to react to your presence might be a different
story!
- Sees perfectly in the dark, even able to make out silhouettes
in pitch-black conditions.
Power:
- Super strength. All of Karahl's other abilities relies on her
capabilities as a Ninja.
Karahl needs to be able to focus to use her super strength so
that he body is prepared for the impact her hits make. Should
she lose focus she will most likely cause for her own bodily
harm - e.g. If she throws a punch with all her strength, but
loses focus even for a split second before impact, she will most
likely fracture, dislocate or shatter bones in her arms. Her
super strength aids in throwing projectiles. Karahl is capable
of throwing objects with high accuracy within a fifty metre
radius. Kunai are most commonly used.
How strong is Karahl?
By comparison, Karahl is about the same strength level as
Starfire is depicted in the original Teen Titans animated series
from the early 2000s. A perfect example is when the Teen Titans
first teamed up against the Gordanians, but they had to fight
with Starfire first in order to calm her down enough before she
ends up destroying at least half of Jump City.

This is pretty bad quality, to watch the full episode and in
much better quality click here:

If you want to skip straight to the fight in this second link,
start at about 4:50.
Weakness, Fears and Other Disadvantages:
- Topophobia: Karahl hates being the centre of attention, such
as performance or when an audience has complete and utter
attention towards her. More specifically, stage fright. Unless
she has a single objective to focus on (such as a foe in battle,
like the time when she entered the tournament) she will most
likely freeze up. She is only comfortable when under the cover
of darkness.
- Becomes short-sighted in brightly lit conditions as she sees a
lot better in the dark. (With compliments to her ninja
training.)
- Easily loses focus when loved ones are in a life-threatening
situation.
- Can't use a gun, or rather, doesn't know how to use one.
- Extent of her technology knowledge isn't beyond the basic
knowledge of using a computer, phone and other ordinary,
everyday items.
- Karahl's body cannot cope with certain levels of exposure to
magic; even 'healing' her does more damage than good.
Characters that have influenced me into creating Karahl.
- Tigress from Kung Fu Panda
- Fem Shepard and Samara from the Mass Effect Saga
- Starfire from Teen Titans
- Tsunade from Naruto and Naruto Shippuden
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Kasumi, Ayane, Hayabusa and Hayate from Dead or Alive games
- Kerrigan from Start Craft 2 trilogy
- Judge Judy (lol)
Example of Karahl's Fighting Style
Replace Katana/Kadochi with claws and all strikes are heavy.
