Physical Description:Lady Birgitte, once known as Iota, isn't bad looking. That's not to say she is gorgeous, for she is not, but she is easy on the eyes. It's just her unusually colored and bright hair along with her very normal expression. Its not too happy but not too sad, or really any emotion. It's a perfect poker face, held almost at all times. Most smiles while this face are in place can seem genuine, but aren't.
Her lips are almost luscious, but not truly. Her eyes are almost tilted exotically, but not enough. Her nose is normal, and her ears are proportional to her head. Nothing too dramatic. Her green hair goes past her shoulders slightly, except that it barely shows as she cuts it in a layered way so as to appear shorter.
See, when she wears this face, most people can't really put a lock on her other than "Well, that lady had green hair. Weird." Most others, when thinking of her say "She's kind of cute, for a Brothel Mistress but nothing like the woman who work under her. But that hair!" If she blushed from embarrassment, hard to do on a woman who runs a sex shop, it would only color her face but nothing else would change. It's a rather great business face, almost promising anything to those who look for it.
However, if one is blessed with a real smile, Lady Birgitte turns into someone pretty. It lights up her face and brings a golden glow to her eyes that make some men and woman want to keep that smile there no matter what.
Well, since the face of the Worst Assassin has been described, we should move onto her body and such. Her body is womanly, no doubt about that. She would never be able to hide it either, which caused some problems in certain situations. Even baggy clothes show a slight hint, and her feet are way too feminine looking. Her body though has grown a bit softer than she would like, after years of practically no extreme activity. And a love for sweets. Those damned sweets. However, no one looks twice at her woman parts as they aren't too big or small. A slightly bigger than average, but average nonetheless. Her legs though, when shown, are her strong point. Long, silky and very sexy legs. On the basis of her legs alone, she has been mistaken no less than seven times to be a Courtesan of the Melody Lane.
As thus she wears a very specific style of dress. She does not like showing off her legs, thus she has a long flowing skirt that seems quite light and whimsy looking. The top of her outfit shows off her upper arms and cleavage. It is of a vest design with an under shirt to cover her chest. However her arms aren't entirely free, long sleeves that start half way up her arm and end well past her fingers. There is an obi that covers her stomach and the fact that the two pieces don't connect together. The designs change with each day, always bright colors and designs that are almost gaudy.
A basic idea of what the dress looks like.

General Personality:Sarcasm is something she adores. Not only the words and the openly hidden meanings, but the reactions it causes and the faces and just everything. Sometimes her sarcasm can cause problems when others don't realize she is being sarcastic... However deadpan and not so deadpan sarcasm is just the tip of the iceberg. Birgitte has an offbeat sense of humor, sometimes laughing at someones pain and other times yelling at one of her girls or workers for the same laughter. Other times she will laugh at a joke and the next day hear the same joke and ask whats so funny. It just depends on her mood, which changes sometimes like a television.
Its just her general behavior, she'll stare off into the distance and doze or drift off into day dreams, as if the physical world couldn't keep her interest long enough. This facet of hers helped make her a horrible assassin and spy, since well... You can see the drawbacks. But you must always be careful, even when she is dazed. Her lightning quick reflexes, honed for years in one of the worst districts of Rukon, and ability to retain what happened while in a daze can cause some other person harm if they attempt to use that weakness.
She is a shrewd business woman, having a knack for getting the best deals with little given back.
Likes: Her 'Women and Men', kids especially ones picked on, polite men, polite women, poisons
Dislikes: Twins, assassins, too rowdy of guests, not being paid, dead bodies.
Special Skills/Abilities:She knows what kinds of buttons to hit to piss other off, as well as an innate ability to garner sympathy and respect. This is probably why she didn't die in her former job, as a sad woman begging you for your life while being charming normally works.
****Main Abilitiy****
-Pushes on people's minds. Not what it sounds like entirely. She has the ability to push forth ideas into other peoples minds, making them think it was their own. However too complex of ideas can either backfire badly or not even work at all. She could, for example, soothe the ego and aggression of someone/people around her by putting for the idea that obviously Birgitte thinks highly of them and that she's not worth attacking.
Any ideas she puts forth can not be counter to the person's morals and thoughts. She can't make a pacifist think killing is great, or turn a murderer into a sweet hearted puppy. The brothel owner uses it mostly to smooth her path and make it safer for her people.
The other power tied to this is one in which she sense intentions. Not fully mind you, but vague ones. For example, she might be sitting at a meeting and sense that one member of this group is amenable to her pleas. Or another is lying through their teeth. Or even another really doesn't care at all.
These powers help her protect her brothel and keep out those who would hurt it, while also bringing in others who can help her.
Her Thoughts on Soul Society and the Hand She Have Been Dealt: She doesn't view them as gods, nor does she view them as evil. They don't really effect her unless she needs to pass on things that they must know to keep the peace. Birgitte is rather content with what she has, but works to make sure those she cares about are safe.
The Grab Bag1. A large obviously placed knife, strapped to her leg.
2. A long necklace that goes into her cleavage and hides whats on the other end.
3. A flask of some sort of spirits.
4. A bag of star candies.
5. A bag of 'Ninja' powder.
6. A new sort of poison in a vial, changes every so often.
Backstory, sortaNow, the Story of Iota the Assassin comes before the story of Lady Birgitte. It starts with a girl who caught a cold in the dead of winter. She lived in the woods with her parents, all alone. Well the cold wasn't treated properly, as back then hygiene wasn't the biggest deal, and she died. It happened all the time and her parent's weren't overly sad. They had lost quite a few more children to such conditions and she was the only one to make it that far. Hopefully the next one would be better off.
The story begins when the girl finds herself in a place of despair. People were dying and moaning on the streets. Beggars getting kicked by rough looking men and others who wore dark hoods and walked faster than others. She didn't want to be here. Not at all. As luck would have it a young woman with scars on her face and what little you could see of her arms, happened to find the new soul. New souls were a good commodity in this part of town and her Guild would be happy to find one in such untainted condition. The girl was just happy to have a warm place to sleep and found that she wasn't too hungry either, so that was another plus.
It took a long while, but she finally got her first job and with it a name. Iota. Well, as it happens that was the end of her good luck. Her first job ended in failure. Not entirely due to her own fault, but they had no one else to blame. Who could have known he had a secret twin brother? The next one it was a body double, the one after that was the information was wrong, and so on and so forth. Her luck was so bad that the other Assassins in her guild started calling her the Worst Assassin Ever. Only the most desperate and the cheapest would hire her and even then her luck would be bad. A cat jumping in front of a poison dart, a drunken brawl causing her to hit the wrong target... Finally all the other Guilds started calling her that, and she couldn't get a job no matter what. It was then she finally decided to take her life into her own hands.
The Guild normally killed betrayers, but Iota asked nicely and they let her go with some extra spending money to make a life for herself. They wanted her gone as much as the next person, and for her to ask to leave was Gods sent. They were also afraid her bad luck would pass to them with her death.
She found a crappy rundown brothel, killed the owner and fired all the women. Then, hiring more and reopening just a week later, Lady Birgitte was born!
