Banira Kurama



"What's the matter? Cat's got ya tongue?!"

Banira is the twin sister of Choko, as well as fellow Bakeneko hunter. The set of Kurama Twins embarked on an epic journey in search of Matabi, the legendary Monster Cat. Both sisters were born with a unique genetic mutation which gave them a strange mixture of feline and human properties. Granting both a unique body structure overall. Also amplifying their skills and abilities. Somewhere during their travels, Banira and Choko learned how to summon Ninneko and even Bakeneko, although the latter is as rare as it is taxing, physically and chakra wise.. Banira is known for using Transformation Jutsu and transforming into a cat herself.

She inherited her clan's unique Kekkei Genkai alongside of her sister, giving them a unique epithet. Unlike Choko, who has a better control over her self, Banira absolutely fears he split personality, Onineko (Onineko, 鬼猫, Literally Meaning, Ogre Cat). This leads to her rarely using Genjutsu, despite being good at it. She prefers summoning and fire release jutsu, mixed with her cat based Taijutsu.

Personality
"Touch my sister, and I will claw your eyes out!"

Banira is the incarnate of bubbly and cheerful. She awakes each day as if a nightly shower wiped all her troubles away. Nothing can stand in her way or silence her. Which causes trouble to follow. She is not afraid of voicing her opinion even in times of dire importance. Overall, her heart is in the right place. The lover for her sister guides her further hand and hand. She is overprotective of Choko, despite her inner feelings of weakness. When it comes to guys, she's more outgoing. Willing to flirt and make friends. Opposing her calm, cool and collected sister, Choko.

Despite being a strong girl on the outside, Banira is anything but within. Her impulsive and fiery behavior has lead her to Onineko possessions where she no longer had control of her body. In fact, without Choko to calm her down, some speculate she would have disappeared forever. This episode damaged Banira mentally. She is constantly afraid of going all out within. And when a strong enemy makes themselves known, she prefers Choko to handle it. In truth, Choko is her clutch. Without her, Banira feels absolutely week and helpless. Turning her boasting and powerful determination into nothing but empty words. Whenever scared or angry, she can hear Onineko speaking behind her...Hear it taunting.

Her true desire is to tame the ultimate Bakeneko, Matabi. She feels that with Matabi in her, Onineko will lose it's control over Banira. Banira also feels as if doing so will finally gain her sisters attention and respect. To become strong enough to protect her. But Onineko knows this...And will use it to it's advantage. Banira, like Choko, believes in the Blood Bound Apostle's goal of global Kekkei Genkai unification.

Abilities
Despite her age and side, Banira is quite a chuunin. Her unique feline composition, like her sister, grants Banira a plethora of enhanced physical capabilities. Some say she is nothing more than a full size humanized cat. Her nails are sharpened into claws capable of scratching and even cutting flesh. Banira's nails serve as one of her favored weapons. She has excellent climbing skills, being able to escape most grown shinobi. And when combined with an enhanced agility and balance, catching her is almost impossible. Like a cat, Banira can bite down pretty hard, although she uses it mostly on food. Her teeth can serve as an extra pair of weapons. Her body is at peak flexibility which adds a unique spice to her agility. She is capable of twisting and turning in manners unthinkable. Even in mid-motion, switching trajectory is of no issue. Despite her size, Banira is quite the warrior. Her strength has helped redirect attacks from people twice her size. It also lead to a durability level that is surprising for someone like her. She could take quite the beating. Like all cats, her senses are enhanced. And with Chakra, they can reach Inuzuka levels. Her main senses are sight, hearing and smell. This also serves as a huge weakness. She retains a cats ability to see at night as well. With an impressive amount of speed, she is a master predator. Being able to sneak around as she becomes one with darkness.
