Character History
Character History:
There really has been much that has been revealed about Kusa's history. A few years ago, Kuse was by a river she was attacked by demons but was eventually saved by Hakuro. Of course right after being saved by Hakuro, Kusa pretty much developed a girl crush on the wolf yokai, and vowed to become just as strong as her, while at the same time she followed Hakuro around from a distance.
Fast forward to the present, Seimei and company came across Kusa while looking for Hakuro. At first she ran from them, thinking they were there to steal from her. They followed her and eventually found her with several demons who were trying to bully money out of her. Instead of helping her, Seimei and company stayed back to see what would happen. They found out that she was not a defenseless yokai girl. She quickly defeated the demons, though she was panic screaming the whole time. Seimei's group approached her and managed to keep her calm this time, assuring her that they were not going to hurt her. They asked if she had seen Hakuro.
She eventually led them to Hakuro, and eventually admitted that she had been following her for some time, never having the courage to approach Hakuro on her own. Kusa then proceeded to beg Hakuro to allow her to become the wolf yokai's servant, saying she would clean her clothes and make sure the other's bow was in good condition. Hakuro told Kusa that she had no need for a servant but that Kusa was welcomed to accompany her in order to train and become stronger. As a result Kusa also became one of Seimei's shikigami.
Canon Example: The chapter she first appears in the game one of the anime shorts
Character Motivation: Kusa really admires Hakuro, and other strong women that are in her canon. She wants to be strong like them even though she very strong herself. She even offers to be Hakuro's servant when she finally got the nerve to actually talk to her. When Hakuro turned that down, but offered to be her friend and to train her, Kusa vowed that she would work hard to be come strong and not be a burden to anyone.

Personality: Kusa is a very shy and bashful girl who is easily flustered, either by her own feelings or by encountering new people.
She's always soft spoken and can be easily spooked by strangers approaching her, as was seen when Seimei and his group first approached her when trying to find Hakuro. She also has a very low self-esteem when it comes to her own abilities. Even when other yokai invite her on an adventure in the anime shorts, she will often state that having a weakling like herself come along would only slow things down, even though she is a far cry from actually being a weakling.
The one thing about herself that she is confident about, is her ability to heal. She doesn't hesitate to use and of her healing skills if someone is injured enough to require healing. She will also comfort an injured individual all the while not appearing timid at all.
Kusa also a major hero worshipper as is seen when it comes to her feelings for Hakuro, and even with Yoto Hime when she gets to know her as well. She even offers herself as a servant to Hakuro in order to stay close to her. Kusa's hero worship of Hakuro is also a full blown crush, which became evident during a recent event in her canon, when she described her ideal romantic encounter. Even though it was obvious to the other characters that she was describing Hakuro, she was too shy to even admit that was who she was talking about.

Canon Strength/Weaknesses:
Strengths: Kusa is physically strong. Much stronger than the average person. She's also a very skilled healer. In fact, her skills as a healer is the one thing that she is confident about.
Weaknesses: She completely lacks confidence in her own strength, to the point that she honestly believes that she is a weakling. As a result, she really doesn't know how to fight. She just flails around, screaming, while she knocks out all the enemies.

Apprentice Sorcerer Application
Class: Princess for this girl! In canon she is one of the stronger healers that you can use. In fact, it's the one thing that she is confident about. Also other characters in canon do find it easy to like her, even if at first she acts like that she is scared of them.
Prince/Princess: Nature like for her. In her game canon, she can summon flower petals and leaves that can restore hp to other characters.

First Person Sample:
[Video]

[Kusa adjusts her mirror some before moving back, looking a bit nervous.]

Um... I know that the network is mainly supposed to be used talk about stopping the Corroded. [Or at least that was what she observed. But she had seen some personal posts so maybe it's alright?]

But I do have a bit of a personal question.

[She taps her fingers together in the form of a nervous habit, a slight blush comes to her face.]

If there is someone you really admire, what would you do? I know I can never be like them, but is just being around them enough?

[She blushes more, and quickly bows.]

Ah! Sorry for wasting your time!

[And she turns off the mirror recording before anyone can answer her.]
