Ishi

For starters....
She is mute - she cannot speak.
To clarify, she is wearing a mask.
You cannot see it, but she does not wear shoes, either. No worries, I can draw feet, too.
And her scarf has two tails. In the picture, the other one is hiding behind her.
About 5 feet, 8 inches. Or around 173 cm.
She is quite lightweight. So theoretically, she is very easy to lift from the ground.

Personality wise....
She is very shy. Ishi has a habit of lurking just out of sight in the shadows. This is also assuming normal social behaviors are in place.
In the event of a conflict, there is less hesitance in her behavior as her preference is to put an end to the conflict as soon as possible. Preferably in a manner favorable to her
You can talk to her... she will listen. No words will be said by her though because she is mute. Look at her mask, though. The expression should tell you all that you need to know.

Do not touch her spontaneously. Especially the scarf, hat, or mask. She will not hesitate then to inflict suffering on you.
Threatening her will get you nowhere. She will simply stand there in total apathy until you actually make a real move, at which point you better move quick.
More often than not, she will just avoid you.
She is sneakier than you are. Always. And trying to sneak up from behind her will always fail.
Ishi might let her guard down if you play beautiful music. And yes, it actually has to be beautiful music.
She accepts roses as a peace offering.

Concerning what she can do...
She is not a monster. Not anymore, that is...
Ishi moves fast. Very fast. Therefore it is difficult to actually initiate an actual fight with her.
She is very acrobatic... Ishi is comfortable leaping from rooftop to rooftop or running along a narrow beam. She is no contortionist, but I bet she is more flexible than the lot of you.
If she seems to have appeared out of nowhere, there are three possible explanations: Either she just teleported, revealed herself from the shadows, or you were just previously unable to notice her because of her epic stalker skills.
The black energy she pulls from herself can be used for practical uses, including self-protection and resolving difficult conflicts (usually by terminating the life of the persistent offender). The black energy can be manifested and utilized in many ways, but Ishi has an odd favorite: multiple blades attached to chains swung around with insane intent.

Because of the mask, no one ever sees her eating, but when she cooks, she makes the best noodle soup ever.
She is pretty good at drawing. Not particularly awesome... just fairly decent. Like me, except somewhat different and better.
Makes origami cranes when she can.
She is really good at twirling pens (or similarly shaped and weighted objects)

...and so
I hope you realize Ishi is not a cold-blooded killer but really a sweet apathetic psychopath who is still on a perilous quest of love. ^_^

Seriously, if you have questions, ask. I will answer as needed.

And of course, this is my character. I am sure you are a better storyteller than I am, so go make your own. XD
