Shinari Maia places her hand out in front of her, as if she were asking for something... and in her hand appears a short black rod, about a foot in length, capped with a gold-amber star emblazoned with the Capricorn symbol. She holds it to her chest and says, "Capricorn Zodiac Power, Make Up!" There is a flash of amber light, and around her the universe seems to ripple, becoming indistinct, as if from heat distortion... when your vision is totally clear again, you can see a woman in a dark sailor fuku standing before you. "Mine is the sign of Dark Wisdom, I am the Senshi of Mystery, Sailor Capricorn!"
This girl looks like she's much older than she is. Her hair is midnight
black, with underlying blue highlights, and reaches down to her shoulders in
curly waves. Her eyes are a rich hazel color, almost gold, and are almondish
in shape. She moves with a lithe, easy grace and regal style that give her a
very noble aura.
She wears a sailor fuku of relatively short length-the leotard under is
night black, and fits snugly. She wears black gloves with short yellow trim at
the ends that reach about to her elbow and a gold half-tiara with an onyx gem
at the center is on her brow. Her bow and sailor-flap, as well as her skirt,
are an off-amber hazel color, and at the center of the bow there is a black
onyx of stunning quality, engraved with the symbol of Capricorn. Her skirt
reaches barely modest levels, and her legs are smooth and bare down to her
ankle, where a pair of black flat shoes lie on her feet.
There is a sudden hush in the room as the night black of Sailor Capricorn's fuku deepens, a sort of black light enveloping her body and surrounding her in a thick, shadowy aura. She places her hands together at her chest, and quietly says, "Black...Hole." Suddenly the inky blackness becomes laced with velvety purple. It forms a great sphere just outside Capricorn's body, flashing black and purple, wind blowing about all around it, the force of gravity in it's area invredibly powerful.
Shinari Maia
This girl looks like she's much older than she is. Her hair is midnight
black, with underlying blue highlights, and reaches down to her shoulders in
curly waves. Her eyes are a rich hazel color, almost gold, and are almondish
in shape. She moves with a lithe, easy grace and regal style that give her a
very noble aura.
She wears simple, yet sensible, clothes. She wears a knee-length loose
and pleated skirt, much like a school girl's uniform, of dark black cloth that
shimmers slightly in light. Her slim, smooth legs are covered by sleek white
hose that tucks down into the tips of her sensible black shoes. A white blouse
is tucked into the skirt, buttoned only partway and showing a hint of a mature
woman beneath the clothes. A break from the black and white ensemble, a red
jacket lays open over the blouse, sleeves just a bit longer than her arms.
Shinari Maia is an only child, her parents victims of a viscious murderer that swept Tokyo twelve years ago. She's spent her childhood in an orphanage, working hard to make sure she could make her way in the real world. She's an older girl, just turning 18, and has been living on her own for three years, landing a modeling job and moving out of the orphanage when she was fifteen. She holds down a good secretarial job now, a regular paper-pusher with a good memory and parchance for organization.
She's been dating a fellow model, Minaru Kaio, for two years now, and almost always wears the jacket he gave her on their one month anniversary - a slightly-too-big red sports jacket. Maia and Kaio are often seen sharing a malt or sundae together on Friday nights, talking and laughing.
She volunteers as a tutor and chaperone to a lot of the local schools, and is taking several night classes at a nearby college to improve her education. She spends most of her little free time either studying or practicing her Aikido; her mastery test is in a few months, and she wants to make sure her lessons were worth it.
