Appearance
A girl on the small and skinny side. Usually seen in a short-sleeved shirt and short shorts, with a bulky black duster that covers most of her frame.

Personality
Hibari is sharp-witted and impatient, and often comes across as shallow due to the way she talks and the frequency with which she likes to complain about things.

Background
Hibari is heir to the position of matriarch of the historic Sumeragi clan, a distinguished family of onmyoji that goes back to at least Japan's Heian period and occupies a position of leadership and authority over onmyodo practitioners all over the country. However, she has put her home duties on hold and taken a hiatus to do a stint as a spiritual consultant with the Marshalship, in the interest of acquiring a greater breadth of experience and knowledge.

Skills and Talents

 * Judoka - Has a black belt in judo and is good at grapples and submission holds.
 * Small blade fighter - Proficient with using and throwing small blades such as daggers, tanto, and kunai.
 * Onmyoji - Practitioner of the art of Onmyodo, defined in this case as a mishmash of mystic arts from Eastern spiritual and occult practices.
 * Occult Knowledge - If it's a form of occult or mystic practice known on Earth, present or past, she probably knows what it is.
 * Supernatural Bestiary - Familiar with the various supernatural creatures of Earth-based religions, mythology, and folklore, everything from angels and demons to youkai and djinn.
 * Smartphone Savant - Is good enough with a smartphone to blind-type on one.
 * Driving - Skilled at driving conventional automobiles.

Powers

 * Spiritual Sensitivity - Can sense and sometimes see supernatural presences such as ghosts and spirits. Can also commune and converse with them.
 * Precognitive Flashes - Can have dreams or visions with flashes of the past or future, or other random insights, subject to DM discretion.

Rituals

 * Communion - Communes with the spirits of the dead, either individually or in a group seance.
 * Consecration - Can bless or defile a given area.
 * Banishment - Invokes power to banish creatures not of this world to their proper plane of existence. For beings of greater power than the one performing the banishment ritual, amplifications are needed, such as some mixture of extensive warding, a place of proper spiritual alignment, a suitably built circle, an auspicious day, an invocation of a being who directly counters the one being banished, or other DM requirements.
 * Divination - Can conduct divining rituals or dowsings to get glimpses of insight, subject to DM discretion.
 * Scrying - Can use a mirror or scrying bowl to observe someone when she holds a part of them or a close personal effect.
 * Mind Dive - Is able to conduct rituals to enter the minds of unconscious subjects and interact with them.

Wards

 * Suppression - Can suppress supernatural power in an area with proper preparation and warding.
 * Repelling - Can ward an area to repel unwanted supernatural creatures. The ward is only as strong as the caster, and will not keep out particularly powerful beings.
 * Personal Debilitation - Can place a suppression ward on someone to temporarily suppress their supernatural power or nature, rendering them human-level. Requires extensive effort, making it unusable on the fly or in active combat.

Magic Circles

 * Defensive Circle - Can draw a circle around herself or a small group to erect a minor defensive field.
 * Entrapment Circle - Capable of activating circles to trap whoever is inside in a containment field.
 * Group Formation - Can greatly enhance a single spell or supernatural art by creating a group formation with five magical experts and channeling in a pentagram with the caster in the center.

Ofuda

 * Ofuda Crafter - Hibari's magic often requires lengthy rituals, which aren't always practical for immediate combat. For immediate effects, she keeps a number of ofuda pre-inscribed with spells that can be activated with a few words and gestures. The following are arts that typically require ofuda for practical use, and would take far longer to use without them. She replenishes the ofuda during her downtime.
 * Summon Shikigami - Capable of summoning small animal spiritual familiars from ofuda. These creatures act as an extension of her own senses, both physical and supernatural, and if they are destroyed, she feels it as if it was her (except when detonated).
 * Detonate Shikigami - Hibari may supercharge any shikigami under her control with spiritual power that explodes out from it, consuming the shikigami's ofuda and creating a large spiritual explosion.
 * Flamethrower Ofuda - Sends a gushing blast of flame forth from her ofuda.
 * Paralysis Ofuda - Can temporarily halt someone's movement by placing an ofuda on them and activating it.
 * Positive Feedback Ofuda - Charges an ofuda with a constant looping stream of yang (light-type) energy that will continually channel into whatever it touches, causing a jolting and sustained effect.
 * Negative Feedback Ofuda - Charges an ofuda with a constant looping stream of yin (dark-type) energy that will continually channel into whatever it touches, causing a jolting and sustained effect.
 * Protection - A general-purpose ofuda that passively protects the holder from haunting, possession, or scrying.

Unique Items

 * TBD

Items Of Note

 * Bagua Compass - Allows Hibari to get precise spiritual readings of a given area, including feng shui measurements, and it can be used like a metal detector to go after notable supernatural readings.
 * Spiritualist Kit - Hibari keeps an assortment of spiritualist items on her at all times, mostly stored in her duster. These include (and are not limited to) ofuda, holy water, consecrated salt, charcoal, and a tanto.

Weaknesses & Flaws

 * Zoomer - Hibari tends to talk like a teenager and has a hard time getting people to take her seriously in some circumstances.
 * Two-Way Street - Her Onmyodo arts subject her to a heavy risk of backlash. Countering her arts can give her a bad case of brain freeze, and damage done to her shikigami is directly reflected upon her. In addition, any interactions within someone's mind leave her own mind exposed to danger.
