#Powers and Abilities ; Knows very basic martial arts, capable athlete and flier, Good at Pranks and sometimes can be good at stealth.
#Weaknesses ; Her actual “Stealth skills” are a bit more mixed. When she concentrates, she can be quite capable but otherwise she’s as stealthy as a train wreck. Keans is also more of a physical adept and while she has some minor cunning and street smarts, she isn’t very book smart. She is also a horrendous singer, so it is unwise to ever ask her to sing.

The tip of her tail is the same colour as her head feathers, and her wing feathers have a slight purple outline to them. The head feathers themselves are short and styled back with a few short bangs covering part of her forehead.
#Eye color ; Yellow
#Other appearance details (optional) ; Sometimes wears a long red scarf around her neck that’s almost comically long.
#Personality ;
Tomboyish and mischievous, Keans hasn't quite gotten the memo of how a Kunoichi is supposed to act. Prone to playing pranks on whomever is unlucky enough to be in the vicinity for her own amusement, she's a menace to almost anyone around her. Her favorite pranks tend to involve fire crackers, usually placed in some unlucky ponies pocket and is normally a tell tale sign that she's the perpetrator of a prank. Overall though, her pranks are childish and mostly harmless if rather obvious.
Keans' most glaring flaw as a prospective ninja is that she just can't stop revealing what she is to ponies or Griffons, running contrary to the Ninja code of remaining anonymous and unseen. She is lucky to go more then a few seconds without telling anyone she meets that she is a ninja (Even though she really isn't), which is made even more frustrating to her family by her sense of self superiority simply because of her martial arts training. She is prone to often bragging when it comes to her "Ninja" skills, thinking that because she's the daughter of a martial artist and has only the slightest bit of training that she's already on her way to being "The Greatest Ninja in the world".
Prankster nature aside, Keans is rather social and easy going. She can sometimes let her supposed superiority get the better of her at times, but she usually means well and approaches most situations with a smile. If things become too serious or if she or someone she cares for is threatened, the easy going nature disappears and is replaced with a calmer but focused rage that a Griffon is known for. If it's merely a minor offense, however, she will take her revenge through one of her usual harmless pranks.
It is worth noting however that while she is a prankster concerned mostly with her own enjoyment and subscribes to a belief she is far better then she really is, she is not cruel. Her pranks are normally intended to be harmless, but if she ends up seriously upsetting someone by accident she will usually apologize and try to make amends as best she can.
Her family is also important to her and she cares for them deeply, not that this stops her quarreling with her older siblings and parents on occasion. She respects her mother most of all though and the two share a relationship that is not unlike a mentor and a student due to her mother also coaching her in martial arts.
She's also afraid of full grown Dragons, and there is no quicker way to send her running. Also don't mention the possibility of invisible dragons, the last time that happened she didn't leave her room for nearly a week.
#History ;
The youngest of her family, Keans is the third child born of the union between the Martial Artist Nuichiko and photographer Coops. The pair had met by chance while Coops had been covering the scandal of a rigged fighting match when they met and, through much trial and tribulation, had eventually fallen in love and married. While their pairing was frowned upon by some members of Nuichiko's family, the union was not forbidden and thus the pair were able to live happily together even being able to start a family of their own.
Keans' rather typical everyday life was changed dramatically when she one day was invited to see her mother fight at a Martial arts tournament. Curious about it, and having always been prone to adventure and tomboyish activities she went along to see what it was like. The spectacles she witnessed and the battles she saw were, to her mind, among some of the greatest things she had seen. It reminded her alot of her comics and, remembering one she had read about called "Ninja wars" instantly became inspired by her mothers actions. If her mother could fight so well, then she knew that she could too. And, if she learned how to fight, she could become just like those Ninja's she loved reading about. She could become like her heroes. No, she could be even better! She could be...the greatest ninja in the world!
Even though her mother didn't win, she practically begged her parent to begin teaching her what she knew and expressed her desire to become a Ninja to her parent. Her mother, despite wanting to point out it wasn't ninjutsu she knew, figured it was a good way to get her into martial arts and opted to train her. If nothing else, it would probably teach her discipline.
And thus, the Wannabe Ninja was born.
As she learned from her parent, she found creative uses for her abilities in playing pranks on others. For some reason, she just found it so much fun to play tricks and prank ponies. It was just so much fun! Seeing them get all flustered and surprised, their shock giving her a thrill she hadn't found outside of her comics and stories. She just loved it, and thus begun to show her flair as a prankster.
Conversely, her training also begun to make her overconfident in what she could do, leading to her bragging often about what she could do given she was a "ninja" with mixed results. Yet despite how much her daughters disposition begun to try on them, Nuichiko and Coops were just glad that she was passionate about something. She also became acquainted with the child of her parents close friends, a Pegasus by the name of CloudyJack. Though they were almost opposites as far as personality went, the two became quick friends.
Her life has been pretty simple aside from that, but she still aims to be the worlds best ninja...a goal she is presently failing horribly at.The Roleplayer's Corner

#Sample RP ;
Keans sat atop a roof, looking down at the ponies below as they went about their everyday routine. Some stopped at stalls in order to purchase goods or acquire services, others simply continued on their way. All of them, however, knew nothing of what was about to happen.
Her eagle eyes were drawn to a small blue cross that she had drawn on the ground below, her talons holding on to a regular rope that she had connected to a can of paint hovering in the air thanks to a shimmy. Not a single pony had stopped underneath the cross yet, making her start to wander if this prank had been a good idea. It was simple: Some poor pony stood on the cross long enough, she pulled the rope and let loose the green river stored in the can. But, no pony had done it yet they were all moving too fast. She needed something to let someone linger long enough.
Taking a moment to think she soon came across her solution. Reaching a talon back into her bag, she pulled out a single bit that she soon held over the edge. Letting it go she allowed gravity to do the rest and pull it into the ground below, the bit landing smack dab in the middle of her cross. Perfect!
It didn’t take long for a colt to stop nearby, the older male kneeling down to pick it up off of the ground. The Griffon, meanwhile, wasted no time in pulling the rope and dousing the unfortunate soul below in green paint. And as soon as he was covered from head to hoof she flew as fast as her little wings could carry her, giggling all the while.
