Appearance: Kuchula is a slender, gently curved woman of average height, her complexion is relatively pale with out appearing sickly and two features stand out on her immensely; her long strait black hair, falling to her mid to lower back and parted covering her right eye, typically thrown behind the shoulders and her mouth, which has received two symmetrical cuts about an inch and a half on either side of her mouth, these have been stitched with black thread in a double cross stitched to keep her mouth the proper width. Apart from that Kuchula has striking grey eyes which have a slight eye shadow and minor dark circles under them. Kuhula’s body is riddled with odd scars ever few inches or so, not entirely covered by them but possessing quite a few. Apart from the scars Kuchula might be considered beautiful, but more than likely she can be rather intimidating because of them. Kuchula has a few outfits but typically ventures out in a functional short sleeved shirt and denim pants with black bands along her forearms and wrists with brown riding boots. While at “home” she wears a modified version of the Tower of Fallen Angels’ prisoner’s uniform, which consists of the usual outfit with a comfortable looking maroon long coat and white sash.

History:
Early on in life Kuchula was a variable problem child, her nature was less sadistic as it was curious with out conscience, she would often pursue dangerous things with interest and had a knack for staying just out of total danger. This would often result in her parents pulling her away from situations that, though only explorative play for her were in reality dangerous situations that caused people to genuinely fear her tenacious adventurous yet somehow twisted spirit. As she matured she grew in to a more collected woman but left home as a pirate all the same at a very young age. Though the world on the high seas was harsh Kuchula welcomed it, it seemed fitting, as though it was an outward manifestation of the tumultuous struggles that she had heard so much about as a child, the very thing that interested her. Outside her home village she moved from crew to crew as a pirate, no particular crew peeking her interest until she came upon several different people which had strange abilities, not from a devil fruit but rather from their own bodies, this was, as she saw it a power with out any disadvantages, and therefore one she could do with having. As such she honed her already obsessive, curious nature to learning the life return. In a show of her own determination to do so she acquired the skill in just three years and mastered the skill one year later at the age of Nineteen, a monstrous show of potential, pushing herself to the point of receiving many of the scars on her body in this dangerous training. Once she had mastered her skills Kuchulas reputation as a pirate grew particularly fierce, on one casein she caught a sword in her teeth, giving receiving her trademarked mouth scars and showing her ferociousness, this and her especially gruesome hair and blood control combination combined with her uncontrollable nature made her feared widely as a monstrous combatant reaching as far as the new world.
Eventually however Kuchula grew weary of the constant fighting and piracy, especially of the marines pursuing her and everyone’s meaningless convictions, it simply no longer interested her. Hoping the new world might have something to hold her attention the young pirate set off to the frontier of the seas. Though her current crew quickly diminished Kuchula made it as far as a newly claimed island, one belonging to the world government, a prison. This sparked her interest and, unfortunately for the marines on site, her interest was a morbid one. It was there for the first time that Kuchula felt a genuinely deep sense of flight as the future warden of the prison. It was the first time in ages Kuchula had lost so utterly, but rather than dishearten her it enthralled her interest entirely, it had been ages since an opponent worthy of her power had come along. She was inducted in as the first prisoner of the tower of fallen angels but didn’t mind in the slightest, capture meant that she was free of her bounty, free of all the meaningless struggles of the outside world. She stayed in as a mottle prisoner, and soon her overwhelmingly unexpected co-operation with the staff and total fear from the other prisoners granted her excessive privileges inside the tower, soon the entire basement floor became her home, it seemed that the warden was a heavy believer in rehabilitation, and so Kuchula stayed biding her time for two years, gaining his trust till she was just as much a part of the prison as he was, her goal was to think of a way to battle with him again, and to win as it would likely be the most interesting battle of all. Lately however Kuchula has become bored and is looking for new ways to amuse herself in the mean time.

Personality: Kuchula is a rather mystifying character, her personality is a complex and varied one that shifts quickly, her sporadic nature often. Most of the time she comes across as a collected, calm woman with finer tastes and sensibilities, but this can shift very quickly. She seems to be drawn toward challenging activities and has a distaste for boredom, especially waiting. Her confidant, knowing persona is indicative of a wealth of experience and a mind that can plan ahead and adjust to change quickly. Despite this Kuchula is quick to abandon self control when he passions are inflamed and when she becomes particularly interested in something. This lack of self control is what likely drove her to understand her own limits and keep herself from becoming to exited, not that the prospect of becoming a danger to others seems to bother her. Decisive and logical yet flighty and fickle Kuchula approaches life with a unique brand of interest and is entirely focused on doing things her own way. Kuchula has fairly neutral views on the world around her, considering the many warring factions mere annoyances that she chooses to keep herself out of. She seems to believe that the purpose of the political struggle is to bring forth powerful individuals for her to indulge her curious nature on.

Ship: Dose not have a ship of her own but often commandeers other vesicles temporarily

Ship Flag: n/a

Devil Fruit: None

Special Abilities:
Life return mastery; Kuchula has excelled at the ability to completely control her body, more than the average person she can exert control over her hair and even her own cells to a great degree
-Blood mastery; through life return Kuchula has gained the ability to integrate blood from other humans in to her own body with out the problems of disease, infection or rejection. Being blood type AB enables her to use life return to break down the proteins of foreign blood cells and build antibodies which allow for the blood cells and the oxygen they carry to be used by her system, what’s more she has total control over the clotting of blood that has been “adapted” to her system and can bring it to a hardness level on par with that of metals by clotting it.
-Hair mastery; Kuchula’s most noteworthy ability is her control of her hair, far superior to most life return users she has found a way to naturally strengthen the oils and proteins in her hair to give it the textile strength of steel wire, she also has the ability to lift objects with her hair that her normal physical strength would not allow, she seems the most skilled at using her hairs tips, sharper than needles they can pierce with an almost surgical precision most any flesh and even through materials such as scales, hide, shells and wooden planks. The hairs themselves can support large amounts of weight while moving at extreme speeds and even extend and retract itself.
-Crimson hair; the culmination of Kuchula’s first and second abilities, her hair (like all hair) is on the smallest level, hollow and has been modified over the years by her life return to act almost as a hypodermic needle would, able to drain blood from opponents and siphon it in to Kuchulas body to be integrated in to her system. When Kuchula gets enough blood this way she can coat every hair in a thin layer of clotted blood, making it an extremely lethal “crimson hair” that is able to pierce even sheet metal.
-Immunity to poisons: Part of her blood based life return is the creation of antibodies as substances are introduced, because of this countering poisons is elementary.

Learned Techniques:
-Combat hair: Kuchula refines her hairs for battle, able to give it the hardness and textile strength of high quality steel wires, each of which can support a remarkable fifty pounds of weight on their own, each hair being a tiny appendage, an extension of her consciousness, able to cut with the sharpness and precision of surgical instruments and a power exceeding the strength of a typical human. This hair cannot be cut by blades or burned by fire nearly as easily as human hair, able to parry bladed attacks with ease.
-Reach: a skill in which Kuchula manipulates her skin cells and scalp to grow out the hairs on her head to almost any length, as great as ten meters, this technique can also re-grow hair that has been damaged.
-Hair feast: a simple attack that is rather difficult to doge or block, Kuchula fans out her hairs and attacks the opponent with many of them in one, extremely fast lunge. The thinking being that an enemy could not possibly doge or block thousands of tiny advancing needles, and that even if only a few manage to pierce the skin blood will immediately begin to drain from the injury. This technique can sometimes make a “cracking” sound similar to a whip, this implies that it breaks the sound barrier directly at the ends of the hairs.
-Hair guillotine: after lining up many hairs together so that the points are all touching and facing flat she creates a literal edge of hair, this rockets forth to sever or at least cut a large area on the target, this attack is particularly useful as the user can chose to have the hairs move around an object that might parry the “blade” or keep the rigid to parry other such attacks.
-Hair garrote: a simple technique using only a few hairs in a very thin strand, the hairs wrap around a target and exert a strong amount of pressure till the target is literally pulled apart, this can also be used to constrict or immobilize targets if more hairs are used or cause a lack of circulation in victims to make blood collect in one area for other hairs to drain.
-Clot bandage: a simple clotting technique in which Kuchula clots blood around one of her or someone else’s injuries to form a literal clot bandage, this prevents further bleeding and in effect closes the wound, it also hardens the area using superhuman clotting to make it protected from further injury
-Clot parasite: perhaps Kuchulas most insidious technique, while draining blood from a victim she pushes a single blood cell in to the opponents blood stream while exerting the superhuman clotting process and blood assimilation process on that cell, the result is that the cell takes on others from the victim and forms a painfull clot in the blood stream, though this does not last long it can immobilize a limb, or even cause stroke if the heart beat is exceeded (such as in gear second or when on steroids)
-Essence feed: a technique that uses absorbed blood, Kuchula receives more oxygen to her brain and body than would normally be possible and uses that oxygen to increase her physical attributes temporarily, even boaster her bodies recovering processes enabling her to recharge depleted stamina from blood
-Wings of hair: Kuchula shapes her hair in to two large wings coming from the base of her neck, these are very large but very light weight and can move extremely fast, and boast a higher cutting power than even the hair guillotine, they can also be used to glide and hover mid air do to their shape and lightness with the force they can exert
-Silhouette: a technique in which Kuchula weaves the majority of her hair around her body, tight and layered almost like a weave and covers every inch of her and her clothing, the end result is a very durable hair armor which nullifies a great deal of damage and allows her to parry bladed attacks with her body. This attack also adds the element of blood leeching to ordinary punches and kicks making hand to hand combat much more dangerous, the hair also allows Kuchula to move as if she was as strong and fast as her hair, something normaly totally out or reach to her.
-Crimson hair: after drawing enough blood Kuchula coats her hairs in a layer of clotted blood, this can clot and un-clot at will, so as not to harm flexibility. This makes her hairs even harder and shaper, enabling her to use every technique above with greater proficiency, it can be assumed all crimson hair attacks have double the lethality and effectiveness than standard ones.
-Red angel: Perhaps Kuchulas strongest technique, after conversing to crimson hair she performs both the silhouette technique and he hair wings technique, this time with the wings coming from her back. The clotted bloods oxygen is used first before mixing it with the air to give her a physical boost that is then applied to the hair. This is Kuchula at the height of her speed power and durability, able to literally fly now using the wings and perform her other techniques at two and a half times the effectiveness but is entirely conditional on the amount of blood she can absorb, though her own blood can be used to substitute this is usually considered to risky.
-Life return; vision: one of Kuchulas few life return techniques that do not use hair or blood, shifting the rods and cones in her eyes Kuchula can gain the ability to switch her vision from the standard color vision to a black and white vision that can see exceptionally well in darkness and more conducive to spotting slight movements, this can cause the eyes to reflect light differently and almost appear to glow or glare.
-Life return; last resort fangs: using calcium in her body Kuchula sharpens her teeth with hollow, but very sharp extensions which can be used as a last ditch effort to damage an opponent by biting flesh away mainly as it attacks her.
-Surface tension water skimming: using the countless thousands of tips on her hairs Kuchula can use the surface tension of liquids, specifically salt water, to in effect “walk” across its surface, this can be exceptionally useful on the high seas.

Weapons/Items: totally unarmed

Goals: What ever strikes her fancy at the time, not that she wont pursue her interests to the death. Her target is however, the warden of the tower of fallen angels but she recognizes that that may take many years to come to fruition.
