Background/History: Ichiko was a darling little girl, always obedient and respectful. Her parents decided quite early she would follow the path of the geisha, one of Japan's famous class of entertainers and companions. She was more than happy to obey her parents wishes. As was her nature she learned quickly mastering singing, dancing and the fine arts of etiquette. After taking her final tests, she quickly became one of most sought after geisha in Tokyo and entertained many wealthy (and notorious) figures with her wit and beauty.

One evening while performing for some noted figures in the Japanese underworld, Ichiko happened to overhear some trouble information. Normally, her sense of professionalism would mandate that she keep such things to herself. But this was different. The information was on some highly illegal activities. After debating with herself for awhile, she went to the authorities and told them. After that, Ichiko thought no more about the incident.

Until several nights later, she was awakened in her apartment by a group of men. Their leader explain that they had been sent to kill her for her regrettable lack of discretion. Ichiko had never felt such fear, but she mustered her wits and began to calmly explain that she had only been doing her civic duty and asked that they please let her go. They did, but only after helping her tidy up her place and pack her things. She immediately suspected that she was a Nova. She contacted Project Utopia and was accepted immediately, bringing with her an immense about information on the Nakato crime syndicate.

Powers/Tactics: Ichiko's powers don't seem to lend themselves to being part of a "super team" but Team Tomorrow Asia/Pacific considers her their secret weapon. Quite simply, its almost impossible for anyone to say no to Ichiko. Its an ability that allows her to end many dangerous situations without a hint of violence and has made her one of the most powerful diplomats on the planet using her powers to defuse many situations and bring peace to war torn regions. Ichiko's force personality and personal charisma are all but undeniable. Almost everyone that meets her, likes and wants to please her. If she focuses her ire on a single person they even flinch and pull their punches rather than risk hurting her and rousing her anger (Force Wall). She can eventually talk someone into just about anything, soothe even the most violent minds and sway people's opinions in just about any direction she wishes if given time. Ichiko can sense people's emotions and change them but generally prefers not to do that, hoping to use her powers honorably. In fact, it is only her sense of personal honor that keeps her from being the most powerful cult leader or con woman in the world. Her personal combat skills are all but non existent and she rarely works with the front line team.

Appearance: Geisha is a stunningly beautiful petite Japanese woman in her early 20s. She normally has shoulder length black hair and deep, dark soulful eyes that are at once expressive and mysterious. She speaks with a soft melodic voice and her laughter is delightful and infectious. Ichiko basically exudes grace and charm with her every move, instantly enchanting any that meet her. She favors traditional Japanese garb, but has a great fashion sense and dresses to impress in any situation. Ironically enough, should her anger by roused she can cause grown men to lose control of their bodily functions with a single withering glare, but she very rarely shows that side of her self.
