History:
Dachi does not like to talk about her childhood, mostly because she does not understand much of it. She was born with CIPA, a disorder that prevents her from feeling pain. Dachi remembers her parents, they were wonderful loving people who worked at a vineyard in the country and doted on her. She grew up to be a fearless little girl with a heart of steal-plated sunshine and rainbows, and a chocolate coated understanding of the world. However, one day Dachi found a man beating a woman out in the country. Dachi did not understand the concept of pain, but she did understand that tears meant sadness, and that sadness had no place in her world. She tried to stop him, eventually resorting to biting into his wrist till her teeth met bone. Her bite was such that the man started screaming and pounding on her head with whatever blunt object he had been using on the woman. It was not the pain that made her black out, but the simple fact that her brain could no longer function. She awoke in a ditch, left for dead. She was unable to move. She laid there for a few days alone until a traveler happened to hear her crying out on his way down the road. He fed her and gave her medicines, mending her up as best he could, and nursing her back to health. Dachi did not know where she was now, nor the way to get home so the traveler took her under his wing and taught her basic medicines and the miracle talent of sewing. She grew up, the traveler died, and Dachi wandered aimlessly around Japan, the last place the traveler had taken her.

The lasting results of this were that Dachi suffered permanent brain damage, and her brain has not developed passed that of a five year old. Also, Dachi developed an acute belief that the only way to deal with bad situations was to eat them. Her days in the gutter gave her an insatiable hunger and a paranoid fear of starvation. This event, combined with countless other near-death experiences has given Dachi an intense fear of death, the only thing in the world other than starvation that Dachi fears. However, this fear only manifests itself when Dachi believes she might die, and this rarely occurs because her brain has yet to connect wounds to death, argument being, ‘she had had countless wounds and not died, why would they start killing her now?’

Physical Info:
Dachi has CIPA, which means she does not feel pain. No matter how many holes get put in her, she will keep on coming as if nothing had happened. Of course some wounds would hinder her movement, and blood loss would eventually take her down, but in the short run, hacking at her isn’t strategically advantageous.

She heals very quickly and very efficiently. Her body has had ample opportunity to practice. Her blood clots fairly quickly, but she is still very much in danger of fainting from blood loss. She has many scars, and her skin has a slight sickly tint to it because of her many injuries.

Dachi has very very very vacant eyes. All the time. The only time that her pupils come into sight is when she is genuinely afraid, and usually good things don’t happen when she feels afraid.

Dachi has greasy, black, strait hair that is cut to about arm-pit length.

She has filed down her canine and incisor teeth to be sharp, all teeth with the exception of the molars.

She is tall and skinny, almost bony, and very muscular in the upper body and hips. She likes to exercise.
Many of Dachi’s bones have been reinforced with metals due to their having been broken, and she has managed to do some minor miracles with her rib cage to protect her vital organs more efficiently. She also has very thick skin due to countless injuries. The soles of her feet contribute at least an inch to her height.

Personality Info:
Dachi has the disposition and intelligence of a five year old. Most of the time she does not understand what is going on around her. The world is kittens and rainbows to Dachi, and blood is just a shiny liquid with a pretty color that tastes nice in meat. Dachi is a very optimistic and innocent person. She gets angry easily, as does she get happy easily. She likes to prance and sing badly when she is happy. She also picks her nose when she doesn’t think anyone is looking.

She likes to eat a lot. Dachi is a cannibal. Meat and sour sweets are her favorite treats, though she enjoys pretty much anything that can be put between her teeth. Give her candy, and she will be your puppet. She also has a thing for certain root vegetables, citrus, soup, pasta, and seafood.

Violence is a strange word to Dachi, mostly because she doesn’t understand how something can be violent. Dachi sees tearing someone’s limb off just as she does tearing a limb off a tree, the only difference being that the person will scream in agony, and their limb tastes a lot better than a tree limb. She does not necessarily want to be violent, but she cannot abide people who are mean and believes that they deserve to have a chunk taken out of them. Friends, innocents, nice people, animals, and flora are all worthy of protection against the evils of the world and Dachi will saw through anyone who ruins their peace. She uses those she trusts as her judges of who is available for mauling and who is to be left alone because of ‘connections’ or ‘better fighting skills,’ concepts that Dachi does not grasp. However, left to her own devices, Dachi would attack anyone who she deemed ‘bad’ regardless of how many buddies he had in the room, or how many connections he had, or how much better of an epic fighter he was, and she would do this not because Dachi is a hero nor because she thinks she can win, but because at that moment, Dachi hates that person and wants to hurt them, and hasn’t thought any further on the mater. Dachi is very moral, and very loyal. She follows instructions from those she trusts to the letter, and gnaws on those that she doesn’t trust.

Dachi likes torn clothing because the edges are softer and easier to move in. She likes to show off her belly and her calves for some reason. She never wears shoes because she does not see the point, though occasionally something annoying gets stuck in her foot. She pretty much always wears a bandana on her head and when she doesn’t she has some sort of headband, clip or other strategy to keep her hair out of her face. She goes literally bonkers if her hair gets into her face.

Dachi likes animals and bugs and mud and toys and stuffed animals and pretty shiny things. Her favorite color is red, though she likes brown and orange and green a lot as well. Dachi likes animals because they are fascinating creatures and they make a lot more sense to her than other humans. She gets along well with most animals because she can ‘speak their language,’ and she doesn’t get mad at them when they bite her. She also gets along well with children because she thinks the same way that they do.

Skills/Advantages/Fighting Info:
Dachi’s greatest skill and the one she is most proud of is her sewing ability. She can sew up people, clothes, dolls, pretty much anything that a needle can fit through. The traveler taught her to sew and it is the only skill that has really stuck to her, aside from amateur medical skills. She likes to make her own dolls which she sells to other traveler’s children. She uses her sewing skill, combined with special thread to patch up her injuries.

Dachi’s hobby is to learn about animals. While she isn’t an expert, she knows more about more animals than most people. She also likes to find out about plants too, but they prove more difficult for her because they all look the same.

Dachi is a good forester. She knows what is edible, what is not, how to hunt efficiently, how to climb a tree quickly, how to hide effectively. She also has very good instincts because there is no thought to get in her way. She has good sense of smell and hearing and sight. Her body will react to movement before it even registers with her brain. It is very difficult for a pile of meat to sneak up on Dachi without her smelling it; even if a person can be silent and invisible, Dachi’s nose can pick up things. She can’t use her nose to track people, she isn’t a dog, she can just smell sweat, fur, and blood very acutely because they mean food.

As far as weapons, Dachi hasn’t grasped the fine points of weaponry, particularly that part of it which is sharp. She understands that the sharp things cut, and that it is all fine and dandy, but Dachi believes that bludgeons do the job of a blade and so much more. Why puncture when you can flatten? So far, Dachi’s strength and speed have made up for the cumbersome weight of her main weapon, The Tenderizer Hammer, in battle situations. She can swing the thing as if it were a broom and move like a fly on steroids. However, being able to move quickly only does you good when you have been trained to move out of the way of harmful blows. Dachi has had no such training, and while she does her best to protect her chest and head, the most vital areas, sometimes she forgets about the other areas, or she does not realize the danger that she is in. She has no instinct to move out of the way, she has to tell herself to do so, so naturally her skill at dodging blows extends as far as her ability to properly anticipate them. When they are blows that she should be expecting because of the movement of her opponent, but the actual attack cannot be seen or sensed, Dachi will not be capable of dodging. She can dodge someone sneaking up from behind because she can think about the movement, but in the heat of battle, it is not as likely to happen.

Dachi’s inability to be hurt also gives her the advantage of not being effected by nerve clusters or pressure points. Also, if her limbs are accidentally cut off or removed, she has many buckles that she can strap to herself and then to the dismembered limb to keep it in place until it can be sewed on, though it remains non-functional and can only be used as a bludgeoning tool.

A mind like Dachi’s is impervious to mental warfare,seeing as how her mind is like a piece of wood, there aint much to do with it but drill a hole through. She cannot be dogged, egged on, cowed, or otherwise goaded or angered simply by speech. Mental haranguing does not work, except to make her angry and confused which does not work out in the favor of her opponent. She has no mind to mess with, and what mind she has is mostly on a primal level that operates her body. However she is easily tricked, and it does not take much skill to beat her at strategy. Dachi does not plan or strategize, she has no plan of action, she rushes in to attack without thought of consequence.

In combat, without a weapon, Dachi is at an advantage. She knows her bodily weapons well, and time spent with the traveler and his medical practices has taught her sensitive spots and easy ways to break bones. While she cannot do pressure points, she can efficiently break an arm or a neck. She has no qualms about using her fingernails, or her fingers (which, with enough force, can break skin if jammed into a soft area hard enough) or her teeth. No ear or eye or finger is safe from being ripped off, ripped out or bent backwards respectively. Also, without her giant hammer, she is a speedy little demon. Her favorite moves are not kosher kicks or punches, but head butts to the jaw to break your teeth, tearing chunks out of shoulders, twisting arms off, ripping hair out, kicking knees backward, ripping off ears and eyes and fingers and noses. If she can, she will bite into a person, and if she can hold on, she will, no matter what, and will block all blows she can, while scraping at the enemy with all she has, kicking at them to tear the body away from whatever part of them is in her mouth.

Dachi is proficient at other weapons if they come to hand, though she may find herself using the flat of the sword to bludgeon someone over the head rather than slice through their neck. Other weapons are just not very effective in her hands unless they are big and heavy, or they tear rather than slice.
