=Profile=
'''Name''': Murasaki Natsumi<br />
'''Magical Girl Name''': Soul Gunner Natsumi<br />
'''Age:''' 14

==Appearance==
===Normal===
170cm (5'7") tall, around 64kg (140 lbs.), has a slim build with black hair down to her shoulders, which she usually ties up in a ponytail for athletic events. Dark blue eyes.

===Magical Girl===
When in mahou shoujo form, Natsumi takes on a very ghost-like appearance. Her skin and her hair go ghost-white, and her eyes visibly change, her right eye taking on a golden glow and the other one turning a very bright blue. Her outfit is a white and very light grey jumper dress with fingerless gauntlets, a pair of worn grey boots and a ragged white mantle that reaches down to just below her ribs.

==Personality==
Natsumi is an introvert, primarily preferring her privacy and a nice quiet place to either read or surf the net. She does not like noisy crowds, and getting in her space, especially in an obnoxious manner, is a surefire way to piss her off. She prefers to concentrate on a single activity at a time, and to hang back and observe before getting involved in things. Being able to trust others is very important to her, and so she chooses those she calls friends carefully. Her interests include fantasy and horror novels and manga, browser-based MMORPGs (she primarily plays either a warrior or a mage), and, since making the pact, airsoft games as a means of keeping her gun skills sharp. She is also quite knowledgeable about rare diseases, a product of the two months since finding the fateful records of her death, as well as being quite the gorehound, the product of having a doctor for a father and being present at more than one dinner with his colleagues as they talked shop.

===What convinced you to make a pact?===
Six months ago, Natsumi bore witness to the attack of a rogue daemon upon a community gathering attended by her father. While the monster was driven away by a ''mahou shoujo'', ten people lost their lives to the monster's horrific assault, and many more were injured, meaning that her father, Dr. Murasaki Kyosuke, had a lot of work to do. The attack left a lasting impression upon Natsumi, both in what these things could do to people, and in what it took to stop them. When Kekku showed up a month after the attack and explained to her just what the hell was going down, Natsumi made the pact -- she knew that she had to do her part to help the people of Shinohara against the rogue daemons.

===What is your wish?===
Although most of the people who survived the daemon attack on that fateful day made it through all right, some were not so lucky. Natsumi's mother Yuki, who had always been supportive of her, was one of the poor unfortunates who were struck down by the daemon, and though she survived the attack, she has been in a coma ever since. Her father is at a complete loss to handle the situation, and though he tries to assure Natsumi that her mother will get better, she knows that he does not have much hope that she will ever recover from that horrible day. And this makes Natsumi angry, in a way that few things in her life can. Part of her reason for killing rogue daemons is to collect enough Oblivion Seeds for her wish. If her father can't do anything for her mother, Natsumi has sworn that she will.

=Crisis=
Two months ago, Natsumi's life as she knew it changed forever. While organizing her father's papers one day, she came across an old document, a copy of the family's ''koseki'' (family registry) dated ten years ago. But this version of the ''koseki'' differed quite markedly from the official version of the registry. Namely, it showed that Natsumi had died of a rare disease on the year that this version of the ''koseki'' was printed out. Investigating his papers further turned up a copy of her father's official report from that time at Shinohara Hospital, his place of work, indicating Natsumi's date and time of death. Natsumi knows that this is not a clerical error or some other mistake, else her father would've simply thrown these records away upon discovery of the mistake. Somehow, these records indicate that Natsumi is dead, while she is very much alive -- and to make things even worse, Natsumi has no memory whatsoever of ''anything'' beyond ten years ago. Something is going on, and Natsumi will not rest until she gets to the bottom of this!

=Game Info=
* '''Magical Element:''' Spirit
* '''Magical Weapon:''' Natsumi's weapons of choice are '''''Soulblaze''''' and '''''Crossfire''''', a pair of silver-white automatic pistols. Inlaid upon the slides of the weapons are a series of golden runes. The handles are white polished wood with golden dragons inlaid in them. When Natsumi fires these guns, the muzzle-flashes are unusually bright, and the bullets she fires are infused with spiritual power.
* '''Magical Power:''' Ghostwalker - Natsumi can pass through walls and other solid objects much like a ghost can.

==Stats==
* '''Magical Attributes:''' Heart (Support) 5, Fury (Defense) 7, Magic (Attack) 9
* '''Normal Attributes:''' Charm 4, Insight 6, Tenacity 5
* '''Resolve:''' 18 / 18

==Specialization and Talents==
* '''Magical Specialization:''' Witch
* '''Basic'''
** Boost - Once a round, Natsumi can add a die of Overcharge to any magical challenge action, increasing the likelihood of success, but also increasing the likelihood of Fallout once the battle is over.
** Recovery - Twice per general episode when out of combat, Natsumi can summon up the power deep within herself to recover 1d6+2 Resolve.
* '''General'''
** Battle Aura (''Empower'') - Once per general scene, Natsumi can unleash the power within her in a blazing Battle Aura, becoming either Excited (+1 bonus to attack) or Calm (+1 bonus to defense). What color the aura takes depends upon her general state -- an Excited battle aura is bright gold, while a Calm battle aura is bright blue. Observant readers will note that this corresponds to both of her eyes.
** Fight For Friends - When Natsumi's friends and family are on the line, the Spirit Gunner goes all out. Twice per general scene, Natsumi can add the rating of a Relationship to any challenge that she makes, as well any damage that she does if the challenge is an attack challenge.
* '''Witch'''
** Mark of Anathema (''Hex'') - Natsumi's golden eye seems to burn with an inner fire. Once per round as a minor action, she can turn this eye upon a daemon or other enemy within a range of 0-2 and place a spiritual mark upon the enemy that burns into them for one point of damage every round. On subsequent rounds, she can use another minor action to strengthen this mark and make it do more damage per round that it is active. As a free action, Natsumi can either weaken the mark or remove it entirely.
** Gunner's Dance (''Blast Strike'') - By adding a point of Magic Overcharge, Natsumi unleashes one of her special attacks, a savage dance of spirit-infused ballistic death with both ''Soulblaze'' and ''Crossfire''. Every enemy within a single position within Natsumi's general range must defend or take normal damage from the attack in question. Natsumi often uses this attack to clear out minions.
** Astral Clone (''Marionette'') - By taking a minor action and adding a point of Magic Overcharge, Natsumi creates a spectral copy of herself. During a general round, she can either choose to make an attack herself or to have the clone attack instead. The clone can also defend itself like she can, but it will be destroyed upon taking any damage. The clone fades away when the fight is over.
