In the beginning of her life? Jiyu had been one of those few in a world full of magic, who had not even known it existed! As she grew up and learned by seeing a mage or two pass through peace village; Well she was never particularly interested in wizardry. In all honesty? If you looked at the Rising Star any day before her seventh birthday, you’d think she’d be an average citizen, never spectacular and certainly never any sort of mage! However that all changed in a single day, the moment her mother died in flames and she inherited the woman's magic book, and found her mother had been a mage, discovered magic was the only remaining connection between them! Ever since than, someone could predict Jiyu would be in the mage world and that whether good or bad, she would do something big eventually, but beyond that she was a wild card. Luckily she fell in with light mages, pulled over to the good side before she really knew how good bad girls could have it! Thus the mage never really felt the urge to steal or anything, the worst she’d done in her life was flaunted her once gorgeous body to get her way with everyone she came across, those attracted to girls fell most times, and the other half of the time she was intimidating with her confidence. However that was off topic, especially when she had bruises, burn marks and scratches all over her body, way off topic.
When she heard people calling her a scandal and such? She looked back at the crowd, gesturing her hand to the store manager, who took it. Despite not expecting the public aspect from her new position in the mage world? Jiyu was swiftly growing used to it, and she knew that she had to maintain a good image, she couldn’t just threaten these people into believing she stole nothing. ”It wasn’t her.” the store manager got a handle on what she wanted, and quickly spoke up, eager to keep the help and good graces of a council pet. Thought if anyone ever called Jiyu that to her face? She would main the sucker! However for now, everything was smooth and the hype from what everyone thought would be something big, suddenly calmed down, as Kazehime grinned, putting her semi balled fist in front of mouth, an adorable move that shot the hearts of anyone who liked that sort of thing, an action she took often to gain favor. ”I’m going to help find the culprit, so you can all go about your day with the certainty that I’ll find the thief and return his ware to him~” most people happened to be convinced after that, and went about their days, though some people seemed to be staying around, wanting to see how she planned to track down the real thief.
Honestly standing there, the wind user realized she would have made a wonderful thief, they barely questioned her, what with the doe eyes and rising star position! Kazehime swore if people trusted anymore blindly, it would get every last human on earth killed, but eh it worked well, especially when she was working. ”Why did you think I stole from you to begin with?” the female asked, offering this small little smirk, sitting on his counter, finger under his chin, making the slightly older man blush, as this forced his eyes to around the short womans chest level. ”Well this woman told me-.” than he realized his mistake, just as Jiyu’s eyes lit up the information. Finding out what the other girl looked like? Was nothing, she knew where the ring was picked up from and knew it was the scent of a woman she was searching out, from there it should be fairly easy to pick up where she should go! Metal? Had its own scent, and if the girl did not ditch the goods, she’d be very easy to track.
Now that she had ditched the shop owner and the onlookers? Jiyu was free to run along the ground, pushing with her legs that were made for running. Moving so fast, with almost nothing except the wind against her body? Was one of the most amazing sensations she could ever experience, and it was why she wore so little clothing, sans the years she’d spent on boats, they affected her dress too! No matter how much stares due to her injuries made her uncomfortable, she could not stay fully clothed for very long. Now thought, all she had to do was remember who she was in the world, and she could convince herself that people stared because of that, not due to the marks all over her body.
“Dead end for the scent?” she spoke up, humming something to herself briefly, before falling silent and closing her eyes. Normally? People were only advanced in one sense, they would easily think she was considering how to explain not finding the thief and ring, however she had kept quiet about the fact her other senses were just as sharp! Instead of thinking of a way to give up, the girl was listening for the sound of the culprits heart, and found it peculiar she could hear someone’s heart beating lightly, beneath and nearly drown out by the sound of the river. Somehow she was going to have to grab the thief, not let the ring get swept down river, and well do everything at once! Jiyu was not looking forward to this, sighing and dipping her bare feet into the water, sitting down on the bank, for all expressed purposes she seemed to have given up and decided to relax.
“I guess I won’t” she trailed off, a giggle being the only warning the older female would have, because Jiyu suddenly lunged forward, into the water. “Hide the fact I know you're there. I can hear your heart beating.” it would likely confuse the other woman unless she confessed the fact she could actually hear her, the water up to Jiyu’s hips, but not seeming to bother the wind mage. “Now why don’t we go give that ring back, or am I going to have to arrest you to get it back for him?” honestly this seemed like a prank, considering she’d been framed. “And next time you try to frame me, make it believable at least.” she put her hands behind her head, making a small noise as she kicked one leg in the water, waiting for the woman she knew was there to appear from whatever cloak she was using.
