The thick curtain muffled the sounds of the audience. The air on this side was still and warm, waiting. She was used to this though. It was how she made her living. A little thing was running around her, putting the finishing touches on her outfit. This 'little thing' was her helper and companion, with the same red fox ears and tail as she herself had, as well as two black stripes across each cheek, angling down toward her neck. This little thing was called Adi. She had pale blue fairy wings, a rarity in their species. But then again, Adi was pretty strange...
She wore the purple, blue, and gold outfit of one who summons zombies over top of a ruffly skirt of similar blue and gold color. Her shoes were small and a purple to match, hugging her feet. The sleeves of her top covered her hands in a cutely childish way, and it fit her persona. Though 15, Adi was just an innocent, naive child at heart.
And innocent, naive child that could raise the dead. Nothing strange there...
Adi brushed her long, white hair back over her shoulder, the long bangs kept out of her face because they were braided along the top of her head, around each large fox ear. Oddly enough, they both also had a human set of ears...who knew why. Adi's deep blue eyes were set in concentration as she worked, the blue crystal on her forehead glittering in the low light. Compared to her own, fairly pale skin, Adi was quite dark. She was a deep tan that many women envied, especially since it was natural.
"Aoi, how does that feel?" Little Adi asked, readjusting the skimpy white half-skirt that sat around her waist, clasped there by a golden sun. It set over her tiny, rich blue bikini bottom, and really only covered her butt a bit, and the side of her left thigh. Other than that, she had on an even smaller bikini top of the same material as the bottom, and it did very little to shield her breasts from view. A golden sun on a chain, larger than the one on her sash-skirt, sat between these un-hidden mounds. She wore thick gold bracelets, and two gold armbands, one on each upper arm, with a little white piece sticking out of them that had three prongs. It matched her skirt nicely. On her ankles were golden anklets that attatched to a delicate chain that in turn attatched to her middle toe. And that was all for shoes. On her blue hair rested a white crown of sorts, the key piece being yet another golden sun.
"It's fine Adi." And with that, she took up her katana and blue whip, a second katana sheathed at her back.
Adi smiled, nodded, and skittled off just as the curtain rose...
And Aoi, the weapons dancer, emerged.
She never really thought about how provocative her clothing was. She always concentrated solely on her weapons. The katana twirled effortlessly, glinting with light, and whistling through the air as she sliced. The whip cracked, sending off blue sparks from it's end, which covered in a row of slight hooks. Around her body the whip circled as she gently and gracefully twirled her body.
A stop, more swaying of the hips that she did not pay note to, and off she was again, her entire being of motion that one could not peel their eyes from. Her green gaze was hard and intense, cat-like pupils slitted. Her fox's tail kept wisely out of the way, years of experience taking hold.
Truly a sight to behold.
