Jiyi

this is still a wip :'DDDD

Appearance
Jiyi has elbow length, blue to cyan dyed hair which she usually keeps in a low ponytail. Her eyes are a dark green, with a lighter green pupil. Her original hair color is black, and prior to unlocking her Element, her eyes were brown.

She typically wears a dark blue, white, and cyan long sleeved shirt, along with a black and green short sleeved hoodie she keeps unzipped. She also wears blue jeans and black shoes, and almost always wears a black pair of glasses.

Prior to joining the Association, her Mission outfit consisted of whatever the fuck is going on idk im tired ill do it later yEEHAW-

Personality
Jiyi is frankly not that great at socializing. She can come across as rather judgmental and asocial, and may bluntly call out another person if she finds their behavior to be inappropriate.

However due to living a good chunk of her life alone and not bothering to socialize with others due to other priorities, she's grown to be rather lonely, and sometimes attempts to forge a relationship with someone she decides is trustworthy.

Around said people she deems trustworthy, she may loosen up some more and start cracking jokes and rambling about whatever she's into at the time. (personality went yEET-)

Element
The Element of Memory allows Jiyi to suppress, erase, dig up, forge, replace, swap, and view memories of others. Physical touch is required for access to older or suppressed memories, however more recent ones can be accessed and tampered with easily without touch. The Element itself was rather weakened by her constant usage of Vengestone early on, but has since then grown with use.

Magic
Coming from a family of Dark Magic sorcerers, Jiyi is capable of wielding magic and has plenty of the potential to do so. However she has a very weak grip on the energy flow required for it and can only perform simple spells.

Early Life
Jiyi was the second child to the Shengyu family, known for their long history in the mastery of Dark Magic. She had an older brother who had died from ||suicide|| disguised as a spell rebound accident. Her parents had another child in the hopes of having an heir, but were disappointed in birthing a girl, rather than a boy.

She grew up being taught to not speak out, don't cause trouble, just obey and be a good girl. Get married to someone from a rich and powerful family and just exist as a pretty little decoration while her parents got all the riches.

Of course this never sat right with Jiyi. However she never really said anything about it as her attempts to do so were always brushed off. So for a large chunk of her life she just studied Dark Magic and practiced basic household chores.

Only problem during this however, was that she couldn't study. She could never sit still and read a boring book she didn't care about, so she would always just get up and play around in her room with a bunch of plushies. This always ended in a long lecture from her parents, mostly her mother, and occasionally shouting and some hitting under the guise of "learning discipline".

She grew to hate the sound of footsteps, knocking, and slamming doors because of this. She never did get better at procrastinating though, which didn't really help her relationship with her parents.

One day though, things changed. When Jiyi was twelve, she found herself subject to another lecture from her father. In her distress, she ended up unlocking her Elemental Powers and causing amnesia to strike him.

When her mother found out, she wasn't happy, she was furious. As it turned out, generations ago on her mother's side, was the element of Memory. She had just erased her father's memories.

Although the memory wipe was temporary, as a slap across the face was enough to break the connection. They had thought the element had died out long ago, but as it turned out, it had merely skipped generations. Jiyi's family had a vivid sense of disgust towards Elemental Powers in general, seeing them as inferior to Dark Magic and "not as refined" as Magic in general.

And to see their daughter had an Element was unacceptable.

They brought her studies to a skidding halt, now focused on ridding the world of the Element. They tried different spells, vengestone, and brute force, however none of them could completely wipe out the element, at least not as fast as they wanted. After a while of this, they eventually brought back her own Dark Magic studies, but these attempts to get rid of the element persisted.

The stress was getting to her, and Jiyi eventually started scratching at her left arm, often leaving it raw and burning. Her mother would go on to express "concern" over this, however she would go on to gaslight and be concerned over the wrong things. She would yell about how she was "ruining her beautiful body" and that "no man would want you with those disgusting marks". That only made it worse.

Around this time, she did pick up on a basic creation spell from her studies, and ended up gaining a shapeshifting companion whom she named Rin. She would often turn to him whenever she needed to vent everything out.

Eventually, when she turned 15, she found herself getting kicked out of the family as a disgrace. Unable to do simple work and already tainted with an Element and marred with scars. As a final goodbye, her mother cast a curse on Jiyi that buried itself into her side, so that if she were to ever use her Elemental powers, it would grow larger, digging into her more painfully and sapping her of her life every time.

She cast aside her last name, as the ones who had given it to her clearly no longer accepted her, she ended up wandering the streets of various towns, before making her way to Ninjago City, taking Rin with her. It was there where she ended up taking on the job of a Data Miner, digging up and fishing for information on people, organizations, anything, and illegally selling it.

And so, after building up a fair amount of money, she moved into an apartment in Ninjago City. It wasn't much, nothing special, but it was enough. She just lived like that, building up a reputation as "Moneta", an Information Broker that could easily get you the dirt on someone if you paid well enough.
