Youko

Youko is an officially recognized Serpent who has been given the Commander's blessing to perform the duty of a Sentinel. She has currently reached the rank of Lieutenant and is partnered with fellow Lieutenant Irene Castor.

She is also secretly an informant for the Yuzhao, having been planted in the organization by the Overseeer herself.

Appearance
Youka is a tall, tan-skinned young woman with an athletic build. She has orange, seemingly shut eyes and black hair worn in a low ponytail reaching down to her shoulder blades.

She wears an altered Sentinel uniform- a white double-breasted coat with long kimono-like sleeves which fade to an orange leaf design at the ends and silver epaulettes with braided fringe. She adds dark orange-tinted pants tucked into tall white boots with a strap across the sole and silver toes and heels and a black belt around her waist. Her rank as Lieutenant is denoted by the silver sun-shaped medal with a black core on her left breast.

Characteristics
Heat Magic: Her magic allows her to create and control heat. She is able to raise the temperature of a specified area to dangerously high degrees and can even cauterize wounds by heating her hands and pressing onto the wound. She can create concentrated explosion by focusing the heat into a single point before releasing the heat outwards. Because she has the Commander's blessing, she has been able to train her magic more than other Serpents, allowing her to reach levels of control close to that of an actual demon. She is also allowed to use her magic to aid her in combat against demons, which has helped her climb the ranks within the Sentinels quickly.

Perception: Despite having her own magic, Youko has access to Perception even despite her rank. She is able to cut through a magic aura both with her weapons and her own magic, allowing her to nullify a demon's magic and allow an easier takedown. She can also track other magic users even in large crowds and for long distances.

Swordsmanship: Youko wields two swords as her choice of weapon, one smaller and kept tucked away for close-quarters combat. She's remarkably adept at wielding her swords despite being mostly self-taught and is a formidable foe for many stronger demons. She typically only wields the katana in combat, but she's also able to dual-wield her swords, flying into a frenzy of attacks to quickly overwhelm her opponent. Her movements are swift and precise whether with one blade or both, preferring to end a battle quickly.
