Appearance

Mizuki is a paler skinned girl standing roughly 5'2 in height. She has a notably curved frame with a partially atheletic build despite coming off a bit frail to most at first. Her hair is white with a very gentle tint of teal color in it, something her clan is known to possess in some of its members. Her hair extends down her back tapering off below her waste often kept tied near the bottom. Her eyes are grey sometimes appearing a light blue in color, lacking vision in both eyes.
Mizuki has a wide assortment of clothing she likes to wear. In a more casual form of attire, she will wander around in a swim top and shorts, often electing to wear a light jacket over top she can leave open or closed in order to feel comfortable. She has several nicer dresses often choosing to be a bit less exposed or only doing so in a mild manor. She has a rather nice kimono used for her tribes ceremonies she keeps around though she rarely wears it.

Perrsonality
-
Mizuki is a very carefree and adventurous girl. She enjoys going to new places and experiencing new things. She can be very loyal to those she is close to, often trying in her own way to help them out if needed. She is quite intelligent, being very quick witted and able to adapt on a whim. She can be very empathetic to the plight of others, often willing to put herself at risk for the sake of someone else if she feels it is a worthy cause. She can be quite playful when she is close to people occasionally teasing others or being light hearted with them.
She can be quite blunt at times when she has an issue with someone, often stating it up front without any hesitation. She has a general dislike of asking for help or being treated as if she was helpless, often getting herself into much more trouble before she might resort to getting help if she has a problem. If she is set on doing something, Mizuki can be very stubborn in accomplishing. Things such as laws aren't something she cares all that much for following if it gets in her way. She has a bit of a perverted side she likes to hide, occasionally slipping out from time to time much to her own embarrassment and denial about it.

Background
-
Mizore is the last child of Sugita and Yuuko Reikon. She was born on an island they simply call Kokudo. The island itself is isolated from most of the world surrounding by various rocks and turbulent waters making it near impossible for outsides to make it to the land without being torn apart in the process. It was on this island that her tribe lived who call themselves the Kaze no Hitobito. It was there her tribe sustained themselves isolated from the world living off the land and being extremely able fishers. Very little ever came in and out of the country with very few items from civlization making its way on the island.
It was quickly noticed at birth there seemed to be an issue with her eyes. Her village, rich in their shamanistic practices set out to perform rituals and other acts in hopes of spurring the 'spirits' to heal her vision so her eyes might properly develop. As she got bigger, it became quickly clear she didn't have normal sight like other children. Despite the hopes of her parents and others of her village, she unfortunately never managed to develop any sort of vision.
Growing up without any normal vision, Mizore parents were very over protective. She had quickly noticed a difference in how her brother was treated compared to her. Her parents protective nature only became worst when her older brother had left the island. It sparked her parents who were already quite defensive of Mizore to be even more careful with her ensuring she didn't get hurt often by forbidding her to do things normal kids might do. As she got into her teens that she began to resent how she was treated disliking how much she was pampered and treated as if she was helpless.
Mizore had been quick to try and prove herself. She worked hard to make herself more physically fit, doing what other kids could do better. Despite her efforts though, she always felt the praise she got was so hollow, as she was treated as if she was helpless. As she got older she showed herself to be proficient in Sekai No Nagare, the practice of being able to 'feel' the force of the world and the ocean, a trait unique to her tribe. Her abilities at even a young age rivaled that of some of the most attuned shamans of the tribe. No matter what she did to prove herself, everyone seemed to view her as helpless.
At the age of sixteen, Mizuki decided she had grown tired of the island. She was tired of being looked over by the tribe due to her disability. She wanted to see the world and get to explore what it was like out on the open sea and the world that existed beyond her homeland. She slipped out one night, using her abilities as most of her tribe did to escape from the turbulent waters of her home island and out to sea. Lacking much as far as resources went, she relied solely on her natural abilities and knowledge to navigate her way to land. It was there she first experience civilization outside her tribe.
Over the next several months, Mizuki managed to make it by island to island catching rides with various crews. She took tutor-age under several navigators learning much about the world helping to fill in the gaps her Sekai No Nagare could not. With it she had enough resources at her disposal to act as a navigator for a ship... well... if someone would actually allow a blind girl to be a ship navigator. Every effort she did to take the job, she quickly found herself turned down much to her own frustration.
Mizuki found herself landed on Ballagan Port. Having turned seventeen not long before arriving she didn't seem to have any hope of finding a crew willing to take a 'blind navigator'. She is desperate to prove herself, tired of hitching rides on ships and being stuck often being accepted out of 'pity' wanting to prove herself to be an able part of a crew and experience the world rather then to barely scrape by forced to rely on that 'pity' she hated being forced upon herself.

Traits
-
Strengths
Enhanced Senses
While she lacks her eye sight, her other senses have been greatly enhanced in the process. She is much more adapt at using her other senses to get a 'feel' for the world aorund her and react more quickly then those who rely solely on sight.
Defensive Fighter
Mizuka is often misjudged by her opponents for being blind. Her lack of reliance on sight allows her to be able to adapt from foes attacking in 360 degrees around her much more easily lacking the natural 'blind spot' people have from relying on their vision. She has learned to not be on the attack but to react to her opponents. She is very much a reactive fighter, waiting for an opponent to strike to evade and attempt to counter them allowing them to create the opening for her.
High Wit
Mizuki is intelligent and has shown herself to have a great wit about her. She can often piece together a scenario if she has enough information, finding creative ways around it if given a chance approaching a problem from a more tactical angle.
Extraordinary Navigator
With her tribe's unique ability, and having one of the strongest cases of it in her tribe, Mizuka is able to navigate the waters in a way that very few can match often only through the use of Haki. She can plot a path and figure her way through situations which for some might seem impossible.
Weaknesses
No Eyesight
She lacks eye sight. Her enhanced senses can also make her more susceptible to certain things.
Little Offense
She lacks much in being offensive. Her lack of vision makes it difficult to deal with ranged foes or those who can make it difficult for her to track.
Stubborn
Mizuki can show herself to be quite stubborn at times. She can act in a way she knows is detrimental to herself for the sake of not wanting to admit she needs help or might of been wrong.
Blind Navigator
Being a blind navigator does come with its drawbacks. While she worked to memorize locations in her head, she can be thrown off having to deal with typical maps others might use, particularly without any context to where she might be. Should her senses fail her, she has no way of using the other tools a navigator has to actually navigate on her own.

Unique Ability
Sekai No Nagare
A trait unique to her clan, and one which she has shown an incredible aiblity of harnessing. Mizuki has the ability to 'sense' the world. In some ways a sense of touch, she can quickly make out the currents of the ocean, the flow of the wind and all the intricacies of the sea around her. With it she can navigate even the most perilous waters finding her way through safely. Her ability when fully harnessed as the potential to go so far as to spot potential islands well out of eye sight if used to its maximum potential. It can be used to a limited extent to allowm her feel the 'air' around her allowing her to effectively react to movement around her.
While the ability itself has many benefits, it has limitations. It lacks the raw versatility and capabilities of Haki, being centered upon reading the elements of the world around her more then living things within it, being more of a 'side effect' then something intentionally observed. The ability itself is strongest when out in the open, however conditions which might limit the senses or in enclosed spaces the ability tends to be much weaker, relying much more direct contact with unfiltered ouside air to get a clear reading.
Combat
Mizuki relies upon a bo staff to fight. She takes on a more defensive fighting style, waiting to react and strike her foe instead of going on the offensive against them. She has been shown to use her particular ability combined with her natural senses to allow her opponents to create their own openings and find a weak spot to strike.
in particular, Mizuki employees her intelligence when she fights. She typically won't be able to overpower many of her opponents but she can find ways to allow her opponents to end up leading to their own downfall. Against more difficult to track opponents or ranged foes, she tends to rely more on taking cover and evading not having many tools at her disposal to deal with them.
Weapon
Bo Staff
]Mizuki's weapon of choice. The bo staff is made out of a rather sturdy piece of wood. The staff itself is able to take a blow from cutting weapons with the ridges helping to act to limit the blade's ability to cut. She can use the Bo Staff in many ways able to twirl it around and to attack with it having a certain flow to its usage. It also works as a handy walking stick if needed or a pointing tool!
