Kurage Bekutoru, The Guardian Gorgon

Kurage is a slender younger woman with A-Cup sized breasts. Her short, olive brown hair reaches her shoulders. The top her hair is as spiky as a porcupine with two long strands laying across her chest, and matching, thin eyebrows. She often splays her double strands in a twisted format, almost like twisting snakes. Her skin complexion is of a light mocha or light olive and it rarely gets blemishes. Her nose is slightly stubby, but small. Her eyes are of a golden yellow with slit-like pupils.

Kurage dresses in a sleek, sleeveless black suit with a hood. The hood has two of her clan's symbols on each side. The suit also has a tail in the shape of her favorite symbol, an arrow. Moriko has painted her nails a black with yellow arrows in the centers. She also walks barefoot, with her feet also polished.

Kurage is a very cynical and maniacal woman, making her only goal in life the destruction of all mankind. However, whenever it comes to plants or animals, snakes specifically, a softer, more gentle form of her is released. If her precious nature is corrupted in any way, she will rampage and turn into a force to be reckoned with. Her motto is to grind all of the bones of humans, no matter what. This term is used loosely, more of a murderous speech used to say she'd kill everyone. However, she'd rather grind your bones.

Kurage is fond of her beauty and the beauty of land and architecture. The elegance of the water, or even the flow of the wind can relax her. However she can be set off just as easy as she can be relaxed, its like waking a sleeping giant.

Most of the time, Kurage is usually calm and aloof, only speaking until spoken to. Which also shows her loyal side. Kurage when employed, can be very loyal and behaving, unless it pertains to her witchcraft; she's usually in control then. So, when it comes to being a member to something, she usually follows orders or protects the leader with her life, unless she wishes to grind their bones instead. Despite all of that, Kurage still has her own authentic personality of being very snappy and witty, especially  when talking to comrades or enemies. Kurage has lived a secluded, lonely life so knowledge is plentiful in her brain. She's a master of medicine, magic, and perception.

Kurage grew up in Konohagakure, and like most, she had the spirit of fire. Everyone in Konoha, or at least when she was younger, had a fighting spirit and no one ever gave up. Kurage began her that way, and its the one feeling that ruined it. But first, let's explain...

Kurage was born into a house of blondes, mostly women. She had three siblings and her uncle and aunt also lived with them. They were known as the beauty clan, up until--...that'll have to wait. Anyways, Kurage was loved by all of the boys in the academy, she had all of the attention. This caused her to be slightly arrogant and shallow, but that is just a beginning trait. Regardless, she and her siblings went through life naturally like any other aspiring shinobi, Kurage getting the extra attention.

However, when the Genin Test began, it showed that her skill would be put to the test.

Luckily, Kurage wasn't all beauty, she was also the brains of her family. Everyone in her family looked up to her because of her multi-skill personality. Kurage began her Genin life quite well, she was the center of attention in her squad, and she was also the most skilled. She helped lead her squad in missions and came up with strategic plans. People in the village could see that she'd make a great Sensei, or even Hokage. However, her greatness as a young girl drew the attention of an old hermit that lived in Konoha.

Months before the Chuunin Exams said hermit approached Kurage and offered to train her. At first she was reluctant, but she went against her gut feeling and chose to take on the hermit's trainings. Challenge after Challenge made Kurage stronger and way ahead of her peers. The hermit promised her that she's win the Chuunin Exams with flying colors. And so she did. She defeated each opponent with precision and skill, knocking most out within the first five minutes. It made the audience of genin and sensei to shout in awe and excitement. It was like a stadium cheering for her, which definitely didn't deepen her kiddy pool.

After the Chuunin Exams were finished, the man approached Kurage one last time. He asked her if she'd like to train even further under him. He asked if she'd like to journey the world and become her apprentice. However, Kurage was of morals at that time. She didn't want to leave her family, and certainly not leave Konoha. Leaving a Village was also a crime and it would make her an automatic criminal.

That's when she refused to follow him. She refused to leave her beloved village. However, instead of honoring her word, the hermit snatched her up and threatened her. Kurage still refused and tried to run, but the hermit, being stronger and faster, kidnapped her and knocked her out. The hermit put her into a coffin and pretended to be a morgue owner. He brought her to a secret hideout of his and tied her up. He placed her inside of an empty room with a steel door. He bounded her hands with specific seals that would paralyze her whenever she tried to perform a jutsu.

After a week of telling her she was special and practically brainwashing her, she was listed as a missing ninja.

They began their training and soon, she became his loyal lackey. However, eight years after her kidnapping, she killed her master. Nowadays she doesn't even know his name and all she can remember of him is his pale face and long, snake-like tongue. He taught her everything he knew, and she made it her own. She even began to study witchcraft, a practice that supposedly went extinct many years ago. She's now free and her appearance is much different than before. She's now more snakelike, maniacal, and voluptuous.

It's been about four years since her freedom. She has killed over one hundred ninja and grinded their bones in her wake. She's a formidable foe and only a few have seen her face and have lived. They use her to squash their enemies or guard them, which obviously makes her an assassin or mercenary.

As the show began, Erza, promising to come see the show, had donned her Heart Kruez Armor just before the show (Not counting as a Requip Change). She smirked and closed her eyes, letting her other, better senses guide her. She could smell the thousands of strawberry and chocolate pockies and ramen drift over the large crowd. As everyone else got in tune with the music and danced like it was their last, Erza simply tapped her foot to the rhythm - she wasn't a big fan of music, but Suiko's was delightful.

However, as the crowd got rowdier, a large explosion occurred only yards away from her. She used her chakra to waft the approaching fire from her and nearby citizens. Unsheathing her short sword daggers she would follow the culprit from the shadows; not playing any games with anyone willing to risk their lives for mischief. She raged on the inside, she loved her village and everyone in it and would die for them if she had to. Besides, every other regular Jounin seemed to have a off day by getting shot by kunais and killed with ease.

She, being the only ANBU off duty, after sending her squad on recon, glanced at the beginning disruption. When she got near the stage, two men seemed to arguing with Suiko and her Butler. Erza would notice a familiar voice as he warned the culprit of what was to come. The familiar voice took off Erza, unable of splitting herself reasonably, chose to help the citizens at the concert. She would then notice as the blonde culprit grin and hop atop the ceiling and the white haired one prepare a fire at the civilians. Erza would then use her Uzumaki Chakra and Pressured Chakra skill to quickly expand her chakra to guard the civilians with her back. He back did sting a bit, but she was Konoha's protector.

Erza mouthed to the people below her to run, and they quickly did so, watching out for the fires. However, a lot of people did die, but she couldn't do a lot at once. She would mourn them soon enough, however, her main objective was now to avenge them. As the boy on the ceiling shot down Jounin; whom were in need of defense training, Erza quickly prepared her assault. She would charge at him, easily knowing that any good ninja would have senses, so she prepared her backup plan if her suspicions were true. Nonetheless, she began swiping her blades.
