Personality: Sweet and endearing, Ayumi is hard not to like, because despite her Night World past, she's very realistic and down to earth. She can be a little air-headed or flaky at times, usually when she's caught in the middle of a daydream but that is something that she can't really help. Ayumi generally gets along well with others, and is normally outgoing, wanting nothing else but to make her friends happy. She tries hard but would rather go out and play sports than studying up for an English final. She is surprisingly optimistic and fits in with others well. She's a bit boyish though it comes off in a cute girly way. She can be a little boy crazy, but often keeps all of her crushes under wraps and hides her feelings for them expertly.

Appearance: Ayumi is slightly taller than the average height for a girl, standing at five feet and eight inches, all of her toned muscles and controlled almost to perfection. She looks top heavy when in reality her willow framed figure makes them look larger than they are. She plays sports actively so her body is in top condition. She blossomed into her womanly figure nicely, and her legs are one of her more notable features. She has a million watt smile, her personality shines through her face and she can be terribly cute. Her hair reaches barely past her shoulders and is a natural black color with waves. She normally wears her hair styled in some cute style, but when she's playing in sports she puts it up in a bun on the top of her head. Most guys find her very attractive but she doesn't pay them any mind unless of course she thinks they're pretty cute too.

Strengths: She's a shifter, so her strength comes in the form of brute strength and speed. She's very strong and she has a good sense of control over it. Her family prides itself on their shifter heritage so she is not ashamed of what she is. Her kind nature and bright outlook makes it easy for her to make friends.

Weaknesses: Silver is a no no and fire too, seeing that as a shifter it can kill her. She can be a bimbo without meaning to and is easily convinced by others. She doesn't really stand out in a crowd by herself, and some people think she's a little too perky.

History: Ayumi comes from a line of shifters, but never really knew her parents. They died after she was born, her grandparents never disclosed that information, and she had lived under their guardianship since then. Wanting the best for their young granddaughter, Ayumi's grandparents tried to give her the best education possible, but Ayumi was more interested in playing sports than trying to learn math. She did take to learning English well enough, and when her grandparents saw this, they seized upon.

Enrolling her to Ashwood Academy, Ayumi's grandparents made a hefty donation to the school to insure her acceptance, since her grades were less than satisfactory. She was accepted as a transfer student.
