From the edges of Senri village of the Kai Empire, Ishi, a girl who appeared to be around the age of 17, watched the commotion that was taking place among the other women.  Her long golden brown hair, styled in two low hanging pony tales, blew over her shoulders, in front of her, with a gentle breeze.  She wasn’t dressed like the others, rather, she wore a man’s style of clothing – which was easier for her to move in - though they had been made for her with beautiful feminine designs.  Her pants were a light shade of blue with her top being a darker blue with pink patterns of flowers and light blue butterflies.  The lilac colored belt accented her waist and shaped the top to the curves of her body.  She wore a matching lilac colored, fringed scarf on her head like many of the other women of the village did.  A side swept tuft of bangs and loose strands of hair framed her face.

Aro had brought a group of men into the village that all the women were fawning over.  Well, everyone except for Ishi.  It wasn’t like she didn’t like men… she just felt that someone needed to be cautious and on alert… just in case they proved to be untrustworthy.  Having been trained in martial arts and acrobatics, Ishi had taken it upon herself to protecting the village in the men’s absence.   It was the least she could do in return for the kindness they has shown her over the years that she had lived there.  When she was 10, she had been traveling with her parents from Kouka Kingdom.  They were in the trade market from the Fire Tribe but were ambushed, and her parents killed by a militia group.  She’d been found gravely injured by the old man of Senri Village, who’d taken her in.  

Ishi’s bright blue eyes scanned the group who were being fussed over and she couldn’t help but to take special notice of one of the men.  All of them were handsome, but this one in particular was more interesting than the others.  He was doing all he could to keep his face hidden behind a half skull shaped mask.  Ishi entertained the thought of coming to his rescue, but quickly realized that she was just as curious to see what he looked like behind the disguise.  Maybe he had some hideous scar, or perhaps some deformity that he was too embarrassed to show.  

Either way, it wasn’t her business and she needed to help with the preparations for the Fire Festival.  Leaving the visitors to the others, she went about the task of helping to make the Iza seed dumplings for the dumpling soup that the old man would be preparing for tonight’s meal.
I've Done It!  :iconveryexcitedplz: 

Done what, you ask? :?

Made an OC to go with my favorite character in the amazing Manga series, Akatsuki no Yona! :love: 

I'm very excited about this, and will be writing a storyline for them as well!

What??  You haven't figured out who the lucky boy is, yet?  I've already hinted in the intro.  :giggle:

So, this follows the Manga, chapter 64, when Yona's group adventures into the Kai Empire in search of a food source that will grow in the desolate lands of the Fire Tribe in Kauka Kingdom.  I originally thought of this character and storyline when that chapter was first translated and released.  I know there are now 108 chapters of the series.  I will do my best to keep my storyline true to the original, though there will obviously be some changes.

Character Profile:

The amazingly talented :iconkanoeshirota: has finished my commission for a picture of Ishi! :love:  Here she is!

Ishi (OC Commission) by KanoeShirota

    Name:                  Ishi (Means rock, stone, specifically in the context of being a dependable, nurturing character.)

     

    Gender:               Female

     

    Age:                       17

     

    Height:                 5’4”

     

    Hair:                       Golden Brown (the same color as Shin-ah’s eyes), Long and flowing to her waist, worn in two, thick, low pony tales.  Wears a lilac colored, fringed scarf over her head like the other women of her village, with a side swept tuft of bangs and some loose strands of hair framing her face. 

     

    Eyes:                     Blue (the same color as Shin-ah’s hair.)

     

    Clothing:              Kai Empire style men’s clothing (like Ch. 64-65).  Pants and short robe style top like the men in Senri village.  Light blue pants, Darker blue colored top with pink patterns of flowers and light blue butterflies and a lilac colored belt around her waist.  Wears woman’s slippers on her feet.  Though the style of clothing she wears is male, she is obviously female.  The clothes have been made to fit her appropriately as a young woman.

     

    Skills:                     Because the young(er) men of Senri village have been recruited for the Kai Empire’s army, and the young(er) women of the village now do all of the hard labor, Ishi has taken it upon herself to protect the village from outsiders.  Since she was little – she trained in martial arts and is very acrobatic.  Her weapons are the metal fans.  She uses stealth and agility to her advantage. 

     

    Personality:        Has a strong sense of duty to the people of Senri Village.  She’s strong willed and determined though also fun loving, curious and adventurous but cautious. 

     

Background:       Ishi is not originally from the Senri village.  She was taken in when she was 10 by the old man of the village who protected the Iza seeds.  She had been on a trade mission with her parents, from the fire tribe when they were ambushed by a militia group, her parents killed, and she gravely injured as she tried to fight back and flee.

Awww, I love Akatsuki no Yona and think about doing a cosplay from this series in the future.
You did well as an introduction - If I would suggest one thing, I probably would turn the focus a little away from her clothing (wearing mens clothing and doing marcial arts probably suggest she is not really the 100% "girly" type ), but more on her character and how she sees herself in the world :-).
Anyway, nice work :-).
