In a land full of oddities, living myths, and amazing acts by higher powers, it stands to reason that people aren't.. normal, as we see it. However, even among the odd folk of Gensokyo, the Kappa are a bit.. weird. In a world of magic and miracles, where does a race obsessed with modern technology fit in?
Well, as it happens, they fit in nicely with the Tengu, with the humans who've been spirited away to Gensokyo from our world, and with quite a few other races, assuming they don't mind the quirky nature of the Kappa. And, well, they're the only people with the skills and natural talents to work on technology, so you're not going to get a cell phone fixed anywhere else, or a camera, or... you get the idea.
However.... even amongst odd groups, there's outliers. Some Kappa are crazy-powerful(though these are rare), while others are specialized in odd fields, and still others are just CRAZY. It's this last group that Asumi fits into. You see, she's a genuine, honest-to-gods mad scientist, and one of the only ones of her kind! The only Kappa who understands her, TRULY understands her, is Nitori, and even then, they've got different fields(Nitori makes giant robots(which are damned cool, and Asumi wants to make them too), where Asumi mostly makes Death Rays. Scifi meets steampunk, if you will). And, well, Asumi doesn't really try to make herself understood too much. Indeed, so often she's so focused on her work that there's actually someone in the village assigned to check on her every day or two to make sure she's not passed out from forgetting to EAT.
Which, really, gives you an idea about how intense she can be! But, at the same time, when you DO get her out of her workshop, this little lady is surprisingly.... well, quiet! Not exactly shy, or timid, but certainly not outgoing! She doesn't talk much, and may embarrass easily, in some ways, but at the same time, if you DO get her talking she might NEVER shut up. It's a bit of a crapshoot, really. However, underneath all of this, she's loyal, fairly dependable(inasmuch as you can depend on her to make something CRAZY), and fairly friendly, all told, being easy to get along with simply because she's distanced herself from ALL the politics of Gensokyo. Makes things handy!
As for her appearance, she stands a mere five feet and two inches tall, with short(coming down to her shoulders) red-brown hair and GORGEOUS green eyes. Her figure, however, is quite nicely filled out despite(or perhaps due to) her short stature, sporting an impressive chest and a nicely toned rear, from lots of swimming. Typically, she'll be clad in a one-piece swimsuit and overalls, with boots, with or without gloves, and she tends to have welding goggles and a few tools at all times.
Aside from that? ASK!
