Description
This is Kon's main shrine maiden Kiyono. She travels between all of Kon's temples to keep them clean and train new shrine maidens

Background:
Kiyono was born into the service of the goddess Kon. She was trained from a young age to use the bow, to clean the shrine and general prayers. She grew up learning about Kon and how fickle and cruel she could be.

One day the head shrine maiden came in. She was increadibly happy and a group of girls brought in someone Kiyono had never seen. A beautiful woman with one eye chilling blue, and the other a warm amber. It was her. . .The special soul. . .it had to be. The goddess would be pleased. The head maiden started to pray to their goddess hoping she would come. It turned out this woman was a princess and an enemy army approached the shrine, demanding her.

The shrine maidens refused and a massacre began.

The shrine maidens fought hard but it didnt take long and only Kiyono remained in the main shrine firing her bow at everything that moved. the princess was behind her, watching this girl in awe. She expected the shrine maiden to be cared but the look on her face was that of someone reveling in the battle, in the pain she was inflicting. Dozens were dying as the arrows dug into them. Her shots were inhumanly precise. The enemies armor offered no protection as her arrows found joints, eye slots, neck openings and anywhere they could dig into flesh. Finally someone got a shot passed her and the arrow cut the princess's face. Blood spattered onto the small fox statue and suddenly there was a blast of wind.

A small framed woman appeared. holding the guy who fired off the ground. Her golden eyes hungry, her tail swished softly but her face was stern.
"You. . .took what's mine~"

The rest of the battle lasted mere seconds and every single enemy was killed. Kiyono was in awe, breathlessly chanting a prayer watching her goddess bathe in her enemies blood.

Kon walked up, completly ignoring Kiyono, and checked on the princess. After a bit of an exchange Kon looked to kiyono

"...So she's not willing to just go and not reward you. So for your services I grant you. . .Immortality and the ability to travel to and between any shrine to me. You job will be to be my devoted servant untill you screw up and I deem it nesseccary to end you. Sound good?"

Kiyono was exstatic to serve kon forever. Her whole life was devoted to this fickle creature and getting this kind of reward was amazing. Kiyono smiled and agreed, not realizing exactly how bad this would be.
For the first hundred years She bumped into Kon regularly enough as her and the princess visited often. But. . .once the princess passed away, Kon never came again.
Kiyono trained new maidens, moved to other shrines and repeated. She only saw kon a handful of times over a period of several thousand years.

Abilities:
Name: Kiyono (Key-ohno) (means "of purity")
Race: Human
Age: Over 7000, she has completly lost count
Personality: At a glance Kiyono would seem pretty normal for a shrine maiden. She is respectful and enjoys conversation. She can be found at any shrine to Kon, either tending the grounds, training new shrine maidens or protecting it from those who would defile it. However upon furthur inspection she can be seen to be as twisted as the goddess she serves. She is sadomasochistic and obsessed with her goddess and has gotten to a point where she is bored with life and hopes that one day soon Kon will come to relieve her of her position as "the eternal shrine maiden"
Height and weight: Kiyono is 6' and 140 lbs
Likes: Tending the shrines, foxes, Reading, Practicing her archery (She's already mastered every style of shooting) taking long walks in the forest, the rain and inflicting pain on others
Dislikes: People who would insult her goddess or damage her shrines, big cities, People who see gods (specifically her goddess) as a quick way to get things, long times of peace
Skills of note: Kiyono has mastered most games of chance and trains the other shrine maidens in them. She is also an expert of torture
Powers: Kiyono was blessed with a few powers
Immortality: Kiyono simply cannot be killed as long as this blessing remains in effect. Though she can suffer injuries (See regeneration)
Regeneration: Kiyono heals at an astounding rate. Small cuts vanish nearly instantly. Punctures, bullet holes and arrow holes close up after a few seconds (After removing the projectile) Small lost parts (eyes, fingers) regrow after about a minute. Lost limbs take about five minutes. Complete destruction of the body (Burning, completly crushed) takes about thirty minutes to recover from.
Shrine transportation: Kiyono can instantly transport to any one of Kons shrines (regardless of condition) and she instictivly knows where they all are.
Exceptional combat ability: Kiyono has mastered many martial arts and weapons. Her preferred method of fighting is archery.
