STRENGTHS
Ai is really good at what she sets her mind to. She over came the challenges in her life with ex girlfriends and abandonment by going to school with a dual major in fashion and business, and later a masters in business advertising. She's good at her job and moved to LA from New York to continue her push into Fashion Superstardom. She hasn't let anything get in her way when it comes to her business and it shows in her work and in her bank account. And only about ten years ago Ai came into her Psychic ability which has developed into an ability to distract people with their own memories while she does what she wants with her victim. She has never had a hand for music, but she has an ear for it. She loves good music and she searches out the places with the best music, no matter their clientele list. This helps her be a great advertiser for a business. If she finds a low scale club with a great DJ, she'll pass it on to her higher end friends, catapulting that club's fame. Her obsession for perfection, and her mischievous, impish nature, make her a superb prankster. When the timing is appropriate and the place is perfect, she can work out some of the most perfect practical jokes you've ever seen.[/BLOCKQUOTE]
WEAKNESSES
Ai is a Vampire, so her normal aversion to Silver, Sunlight, and Holy Water apply, but other then that Ai's "heritage" has made her very strong. This strength is her greatest mental weakness, she often forgets how strong she isn't and can take on a task that's to great for her. Her next greatest weakness is people that are to stupid for their own good. If you say you're one thing and don't live up to it, she gets very angry very fast, and can't stop herself from violently reacting to them any more; she just can't stand stupidity. Ai's heart was once broken and now she doesn't react to love well in the beginning unless it's the on again with Stepanka. Meanwhile, Ai has gained a very short temper, and she doesn't try to reign it in any more, she may one day get over it again, but for now she lets her temper have the reigns.[/BLOCKQUOTE]
LIKES
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
- Brilliant Clothes- Deffinition, colors who's color is easy to spot. She loves working with these in her work, and it's become part of her Label's signature. She's made her living for most of her life by this philosophy, but people who hold her attention are normally confident in their bodies and the clothes reflect that, and help that.
- Good Music- Good Music attracts great company, and Ai thrives off of great company. She will hunt out the hottest underground networks and the best nightclubs and make them famous just by telling her more famous friends.
- Great Company- Ever the socialite, Ai's mother was a geisha that taught her daughter the vaule of being around people. And that lesson was never lost on her. She enjoys being around the best people in any situation, as long as they keep her engaged in the conversation.
- "Good" Vampires-A Vampire is a "Good Vampire" if they live to what they ought. So many Vampires said they were one thing but acted like another and now Ai won't stand for it even just a little. She's straight about who she is, everyone else can be too!
DISLIKES
[/BLOCKQUOTE]
- Procrastination- If you mention something needs to get done in front of her, do not expect this woman to sit by while you put it off... If she has to she will do it for you! Be forewarned!
- Douche bags- Other wise known as rude, ignorant people. She has been known to attack and kill all sorts who have been just a little to rude and or ignorant of another person or group. She grew up in post-war New York after Vietnam; she really hates people who don't know a lick about a person, but judge them anyway.
- Anti-social behavior/anti-socializing- If you're to great, or not great enough to engage in the conversation for a little while, then consider yourself unwelcome by her graces.
- "Bad" Vampires- If you see the pattern here, it's only logical that Vampires that don't live up to the expectations they build of themselves are first on Ai's hit list. She has a Holier then thou attitude and if you don't fit her concept of where you belong, then you don't belong at all!
- Idiot Hunters- Since dealing with the Trinity and the Celestial Institute years ago, Ai has determined that anyone who would lump her, Stepanka and those like them in with the Demons and their ilk ought to be taken out as well.
HISTORY
1 January, 1960. Ai's mother is one of the last hold outs of a dying bread. She's an old geisha, who's man had not only her pregnant but a wife as will. Since he was a powerful business man he couldn't afford to have both children if one would cause trouble for the other. He bought the plane ticket for New York. Shortly after Ai's birth on the First of January, her mother and her left for New York City. They lived in a good sized flat in Grenich Village, not far from the financial district where Ai's father would meet them every few years.[/BLOCKQUOTE]
Growing up Ai' mother distilled in Ai the vary traits that she had used in being a Geisha, and decided that if Ai was to survive as an American that she would need an education like the Americans could get. Being her parents' child, only business or fashion were good enough for Ai. Her teachers tried to force her out of the business college in the late 1970's, but Ai stuck with it, managing a 4.0 and a 3.2 in fashion and business management respectably. At her graduation, Ai met a woman and started to fall in love.
It took Ai three years to learn what the woman on the other side of her closet was, and when she did Ai stopped at nothing until she was a vampire too. Her sire was the Elder at the time and trained her to be another Vampire Queen but for a long while Ai fought against it. Stepanka didn't like it and left Ai for a long while and It jaded Ai, and she threw herself into her business. Years later in the 1990's when women in business was becoming more popular, Ai went back to night school and received her masters in Business Advertisement. Less then five years later Stepanka and Ai set their relationship right but not as close as it was and are still working on fixing it to right.
Since she started her business, Ai has fought tooth and nail, and started to develop a fan base. In the last award season, more then a few starlets wore her designs on a few red carpet scenes. Seeing that she was getting more looks in LA Ai moved to LA to continue her business push. During that time Ai fought to maintain her neutrality but eventually her disgust at the Vampires eventually mentally beat her neutrality into submission, making her an evil hitman under orders of her Sire.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Ai did a bit of growing up since bt. She's now sick of people acting like idiots in the Vampire world forcing her to become on making them act right. She become the exact Vampire her sire wanted her to be. As she grows up here she'll slink more into evil, probably plotting on taking out the LA coven leader and taking over herself in a violent military cope-de-tat. She lets good be good and will often help them if it suits her own goals. She's the worst type of evil, "I'm Holier then thou, so die!"[/BLOCKQUOTE]

Years | Jyo Kido and Riley Sheilds
Ai walked down the street towards her favorite coffee shop. She might be new in this town but she wasn’t going to give up for that reason. Her label was international; people in Japan and Europe and New York were wearing her label. People here had liked what she made and had traveled there and come back with it.
She had learned the American business model her entire life, she had put movie stars in her clothes on the red carpet, she had put her clothes on tv. Now was her time. She stopped for her own cup of coffee. Vogue and Runway had put her on the front cover, but she hadn’t gotten a gofer lackey, for a reason. If she couldn't get her own damn coffee, and if she couldn’t afford a house keeper she wasn’t worth her salt as a designer.
She ordered her cup and walked back out onto the street. Her heels clicked against the sidewalk as she walked again. This time she was on her way towards her shop. Ai was not going to stop this time until her new dress was finished from start to finish.
