In-Character

Full Name: Ginshi Inoue
Nicknames: Naishinnō(Princess by blood in her own right), Atotori(heiress, to an Okiya[Lodging for maiko and geiko/geisha]), Musume-bun(daughter-role, to an Okiya)
Birthdate: March 3, 1878
Current Age: 11
Occupation: N/A
Reputation: 9(Father is UC and relations liaison of Japanese Wizarding community to British, Mother is MC elevated to UC and by western standards a "kept wife". Being a Japanese family, albeit very old, Ginshi enters British society somewhat on the wrong foot.)
Residence: Japanese-Feudal-Lord-style country house, in the Scottish highlands.
Hogwarts House: Slytherin, sorted once term starts
Wand: Black Walnut, Unicorn Hair, 12in, Pliant
Blood Status: Pure
Social Class: UC
Family: Ichirou(First Son), daimyō(feudal lord) of Inoue Clan, and Mio(Beautiful Thread), Hanshi(teacher of teachers) and Geiko(senior geisha).
Appearance: With straight, waist-length black hair, angular and slim features, blemish free skin, and large amber eyes, Ginshi appears quite exotic to Westerners, and her dress is no detractor to that view. A Iromuji(plain colored)-style kimono, usually in subdued shades of blue or purple, is complimented by her light, cream shaded Maru Obi, with silver patterns, and taka-ashida geta, made of simply lacquered wood - paired with traditional white tabi socks. In visits to town, her dress does not change to match the school guidelines, merely changing to slightly less formal styles of kimono depending on the subject of the visiting period- though it no less conceals her petite form under thick, rune embroidered fabric. Her wand is concealed within her obi, where her hands may rest over it in a passive folded pose until she needs it, where either hand may reveal and wield it with equal strength and no chance of damaging or altering her clothing to accommodate an wrist sheath. In school, she sticks to the most formal clothing offered by dress code guidelines - in Hogwarts, this means full robes no matter what.
History: Overall, her history begins the moment Daimyō Inoue Ichirou becomes helplessly infatuated with the geiko Mio, after entering an arranged marriage with a different woman, and demanded Mio’s hand instead. Her childhood is split between learning just what Ginshi is to inherit as a former feudal clan heiress, and the arts associated with geisha society through the Okiya in her mother's control. When deciding on her magical education, it was determined - controversially - by a foreign colleague’s suggestion to give foreign education a chance until Ginshi came of age to take a husband, where, unless she decided otherwise(highly discouraged) to travel back to Japan to seek such. For now, she is trapped within the silk and steel of high society, where she strives to be the most talented ruler and hostess of expectations she can be.
Personality: Formal, polite, and highly attuned to other people's emotional and social expectations, Ginshi straddles the line between accommodating and demanding with as much ease as an INFJ can reasonably manage.
Other: Associated with her as the symbol of her family, Ginshi always wears 5 crests on her kimono-one under her eri(collar) at the back, both front sides of the eri, and at both sleeves over the elbow and towards the back.
Sample Roleplay Post: Ginshi froze, utterly shocked and confused as the weight of her teacher’s question weighs her down. The next statement out of her mouth could potentially protect her first good friend in the world, Ayano... or take away suspicion from her torturer-turned-savior, Kageshi. Staring downwards, she catches sight of the silvery web wound around her fingers, and is reminded of something her mother once told her; “A proper young girl is an honest one. You will never lie, only omit and obfuscate. A proper geiko knows when to dance with the truth, but not avoid it.” Swallowing, she looked back up, mind made even as her heart ached with fear. “I truly believe Kageshi-san is innocent. I trust her.” 'I’m sorry, Ayano-kun...’
