Physical description:
Standing at 5'7", Long gone is Kyubey's original look of platinum blonde hair and an abundance of pink. She's settled back with her natural black hair color and her original length, reaching down half her back when it's down. She wears a simple pair of half-framed glasses when she is deep in thought or reading. Her body is that of someone who is familiar with athletics, having spent a great deal of her teen years doing gymnastics. She carries herself with a sense of confidence. She tends to wear a lot of black, though she is adding color to her wardrobe again. Her clothing has begun taking on a Spanish turn, and she is seemingly getting back to her roots.
She tends to wear face paint to meetings now. Sugar skull patterning dotted over her skin, accentuating the lines of her face and creating something dark.
Nimbus: The world becomes shadowed, and then suddenly releases a burst of color, followed by swirling Día de Muertos sugar skulls floating around. The makeup on her face glows bright, like glow in the dark. The skull within it grows deeply realistic and rather terrifying.

History:
My parents were tough people, but loving and kind enough. I was the first child, and therefore I suppose the ‘practice’ child. I was given a fair enough run as long as I did not get in the way. My parents worked their fingers to the bone to ensure that I, my brother, and when she arrived, my sister too had a grand enough education. They wanted us to succeed in the big world, but were happy enough too for us to stick around.
They were the kind of people who were perpetually lower class; not the kinds to overstep their boundaries for themselves, but enough to get my brother and I into a good school, or into the extra-curricular activities we were keen on.
When I was seven I wanted to do gymnastics more than anything. I wanted to do ballet and jazz and all kinds of other weird and wonderful things that my child mind was only just beginning to learn about. In the end I decided that gymnastics were the one thing I would persevere with. I’d prove to my mother and father who had to work harder to afford the classes that it was worth their time.
I did just that. Eight years of solid training and I was winning awards. After another five my instructors were saying I could do the Olympics one day. With more training. But by that point I was twenty and had finished school. And by that time I’d already decided what I wanted to do.
You see, every morning without fail my brother and I had sat in front of the television. I’d sit next to him watching the kids shows before school. Cornelius was a big fan of the Transformers, of the Ninja Turtles. Em was obsessed with Sailor Moon. But I’d hold out for my favourite show. I’d hold out for Scooby Doo.
The idea behind the show was great enough. A group of friends hunting ghosts and ghoulies that usually ended up being people, and yet… The idea that they could have really been these mythical baddies, these otherworldly ghosts and creatures of the afterlife, that intrigued me. That got me interested.
And then I watched Ghostbusters for the first time. Oh man, okay, let me explain this to you:
There’s fifteen year old me, mousy brown hair down to my shoulders, the biggest dumbest glasses of anyone I’d seen, just sitting there on the sofa with my legs crossed, watching Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis and Bill Murray all hunting real ghosts. Ghosts that were terrorizing a real city. I knew that it was all fake; Hollywood’s famous brand of movie magic but again, it was just one of those things that really got to me.
So I began to study. I did every kind of course I could get into, attended very talk I could find that was cheap enough to pay for with the pocket money I got from my parents. I learned that there were people out there who called themselves Paranormal Investigators, that they actually looked for ghosts in the real world, that sometimes they actually seemed to find them. It was great.
My brother, meanwhile, he was studying business or some such. Cornelius, I guess he didn’t feel the passion I did for these things. He was quiet, but neat. Personable but…well, he was different to me. But we got along great. Our parents, they approved of him enough, not so of me. They didn’t exactly tell either of us that they were proud, mind. I don’t think they really liked our ideas, our worldly crazy endeavors. He got a job in some business in the city while I came to a final conclusion.
Heck, I was gonna move to Adelaide. It wasn’t called the City of Churches for nothing, and with all those graveyards? There were bound to be ghosts!
Em decided to move along with me, the university in Adelaide was way more varied and much more to her tastes. So we said goodbye to our brother and road tripped it over to Adelaide to begin what effectively could have counted as a new life.
Five years I worked my way up. By day I worked in a lab, working my way up the ladder and reporting to a guy whose only redeeming quality was that he skipped work a lot. He always thought he was better than me because he was a guy and he earned more. But I had a more worthwhile venture running. By day: Pharmaceutical Lab Tech. By night: Professional Paranormal Investigator! I had my own EMF scanner, I had an actual degree in Parapsychology [that I got online, which is kind of lame.] But it was a real thing, and I loved it. I’d go into old abandoned buildings with my equipment to try and scope out ghosts. Sometimes I’d do tours around the city of widely famous murder sites, or of the graveyards.
And I had my own podcast, and a weekly show on Youtube. It wasn’t hugely listened to, but I had a few followers! I was pretty ecstatic. But I lost contact with Dad. Cornelius’ calls got shorter and shorter. Mum got angrier and angrier when she called and often wouldn't speak to me. But I was happy. I was going places I reckoned. And then the dream ended, then I woke up.

- Awakened after investigating the Old Adelaide Gaol with her sister Usagi. A large gust of wind blew her off the ledge of the third storey. The wind caught her and she landed in the corpse chute, tumbling to the bottom with an almost broken neck. She followed the path to the tower in Stygia and signed her name on the tower with a pink sapphire.

"A fun-loving and gentle girl, from what I've seen, which I grant you, is not much. Let's hope she isn't a monstrosity like her namesake, and that she survives longer in this broken world than the magical girl who came before her."
