Name:動なり体 (Dounari Karada / Karada Dounari)
Title:The Creeping Noises Of Insanity
Species:Ghost
Occupation:Haunting Human Village houses
Ability:Making unexplainable noises / Able to shape-shift her ghost tail into legs / Causing thunder
Age:Dead (existed less than 100 years)
Appearance:Karada is a featureless ghost of a woman, wearing but simple white one-piece dress covering most of her body leaving only small portion of her ghost tail visible. She has blue eyes and long dark-brown hair.
Personality:Karada is seldomly seen. She is only visible when moving simple things around the houses she haunts. But, even then, she can do so without making herself visible. People who have seen her says that she is not too tall but not too short either, looks like she is a woman in her mid 20s and has a ghost tail instead of legs. She is also emotion-less: her eyes always half-closed, neither showing joy, surprise or any either emotions. When seen, she immediately disappears: so, she is either shy or doesn't want to be found out and runs away. She seems to be quite smart with her actions and her actual voice was never heard and does not interact with anybody so we know nothing else of her personality.
Location:Human Village
Relationships:None
Back story:Karada (real name unknown) was, once, a gentle, enthusiastic woman that loved the easy life and help people out. When she entered adulthood, however, she was forced to marriage to a man whom she did not love. She was forced to stay home, have 5 kids in the same amount of years. Her mental health rapidly dwindled. Before then, she was seen as a quite intelligent woman but, as her mental health went bad, she was found out to be quite the airhead and make stupid mistakes. Her husband started hating her stupidity, started being violent toward her while faking the situation to their children and her status to the people around him. Then, one day, with a body full of injuries from the beatings, with obvious madness, she assaulted her husband and killed him. Seeing what she has done, she followed to kill herself; leaving the kids behind. Being rejected in the afterlife, she became a ghost (vengeful spirit) that haunts people so they become insane (or develop other issues) in return as a form of vengeance.
Other details / author notes:
There's also a rumor about her that she has simply no name but because she has a tendency to move things around, just some simple things mostly (activate a toy, drop a small object off a table, etc) she was named "動く物体" (Ogoku Buttai). But since then, over the years, there were some sights of her. It was discovered that she was female so people named her Dounari Karada (動なり特体): dou is alternate reading of 動 (moving). 体, Karada, can mean "body", "physique", "corpse" but, also rarely, "object". なり was added simply to make her last-name more last-name worthy.
Her abilities are from the classic haunted house stories (that I personally believe) where people hear somebody walk in the attic, unexplainable moving objects, etc. (A/N: Here is a good story about this and what prompted me to create this character.
First part and
Second part) She is able to touch material things, immitate voice, make any kind of noise. So, to an extension of that, she is able to shapeshift her ghost tail into legs so she can "walk" in attics and, you guessed it, to cause noises. Obviously, any humans hearing these will rush to see what's wrong just to see that there's nothing there. On the medium to long term, she can cause insanity, anxiety and sleep issues to humans. She either moves with the same humans when they think the house is haunted (AN/: well, it is, lol) so she can continue to haunt them later. She moves to another house when she's found out or starts to be ignored by the residents. Overall, her human friendship and threat level is extremely low and High respectively. She will not kill but she will not hesitate to enjoy the harm caused to them.
