Eyes: An extremely dark brown that looks black.
Hair: Dark Red-Brown.
Height: 178cm
Weight: 137 lbs
Clothing Style: I normally wear 'fancy' clothing. Not necessarily expensive, but it at least looks to be so.

If on an assassination job, I wears dark clothing that covers her skin and a cloak with a hood.

History:
The Matsumoto family is a family of very old blood. We are well known in the elven community, but not as much among the other species (except maybe the Eladrin). Of course, had an outsider who knows nothing of our family's customs observed our lives, they would have thought that Amaya and I were from a completely different family, thanks to an old tradition. You see, soon after we were born, we were given human names along with our elven ones because some star-shaped birthmark on our backs meant that we were going to have some sort of amazing mystic powers or something. Pretty soon, people stopped calling me and my sister by our elven names, and simply addressed us by our human ones (Damien and Elizabeth Morningstar respectively).
Of course, no one expected Morningstar twin before we were born, because there had never been a documented case of twin Morningstars before. It soon became apparent why: the full mystic powers we might have had as one person ended up being shared between us, fluctuating at a predictable rate like the phases of the moon. The amount of power wasn't shared 50-50 however, and I got the shorter end of the stick. Even when my powers are at their strongest, I only have about 55% of the total power. It drops down to almost nothing when they wane.
When Amaya and I were about 20 and a quarter years old, our younger brother, Haruki, was born. Pretty much right from the start he was a quiet kid. He mostly kept to himself alternating between having his head buried in a book and wandering around the forest. He was pretty jealous of the fact that Amaya and I had different names, and since we were pretty much the only people that spent any time with him, we took to calling him 'Alexander.' It was Amaya's idea.
When I was 35, I 'met' Ryouka Wanajima. To be more accurate, I took an interest in her. We had known each other for a while, but only because we were both members of the elven community. That and we both had the inkling that our parents were trying to set us up. Up until then though, I hadn't really thought about her as anything other than an occasional acquaintance. However, when I was 35, I ran into her while she was singing. I had heard her sing before at different events yes, but somehow, he public singing paled in comparison to the singing she did for herself. Somehow, after that day, something changed, and after 5 years, we finally married.
Of course, things weren't always easy. For a long time, the Matsumoto family has specialized in training assassins. My father wasn't expecting to train me due to the fact that I was a Morningstar, but when he saw how weak my powers were, he relented. Amaya, of course, was never one to be left out, and got training as well, although, not quite as extensive as the training I got. Because of the dark underside of my family, I was often away on a job (my wife was aware of the family business, and although she didn't quite approve, she did understand), sometime for a while at a time, but we made it through. Eventually, we had a son together: Kaimu. Only six years after he was born however, any happiness that we might have had was destroyed when my family was murdered, and my wife and son disappeared.
Amaya, Alexander and I were the only surviving members of the attack (Amaya and I survived because Amaya had insisted on going onto the main island to look at shop building that were for sale; she must have known). My quiet, and absolutely harmless, brother, Alexander was framed for the murder though, so we don't really have him anymore. Knowing that our lives could very well be in danger if we remained, my sister and I escaped to town, taking up our Elven names instead of our human ones in order to (hopefully) remain just a little bit more inconspicuous.
Through the use of mystic powers on Amaya's part, and a great of investigation on my own, we finally managed to track down the person who had killed our family. He was a hired assassin though, so it wasn't quite the same. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't get him to reveal who had hired him, even with the help of our powers. We did, however manage to figure out that whoever had hired him wasn't elven. Which is why we kept using our elven names.
That assassin isn't available for hire anymore.
Time's moved forward, and although we're no closer to finding out who hired the assassin, we have managed to establish a café in town.

Sample RP post:
Mitsu frowned when Cecil asked why he hadn't answered her question. He had, in a way. Wasn't the fact that he was agreeing with Amaya to serve the man proof that either it didn't matter, or they didn't care? To be honest, they couldn't be blamed for serving him. For all the Templars knew, he had threatened them and their employees. The Templars had no idea how terrifying the two could be if they wanted to. In fact, very few people in the town were even aware of their other job. Of course, that was a secret to everyone but their co-workers, they had nothing to worry about really, as long as things didn't go awry.
And so, Mitsu remained where he was, sitting at the table in the back beside Cecil. The girl was doing a good job of the panic she must have been feeling, the fact that her eyes were squeezed shut the only sign of it. Knowing it would not do to show that he was aware of her panic, or the reason behind it, Mitsu did not outright comfort her. He did, however, reach over so that his fingertips brushed her and let them linger there for a moment, but other than that, there was nothing, and such an action could be nothing more than coincidence really.
He had been listening to the rather amusing conversation between Soiri and the Templar captain when the twins suddenly appeared. His eyes drifting over to the other twins, who had small smiles adorning their faces; trust Fai and Yuki to ignored the obvious situation until there was reason to get involved, which, at the moment, there wasn't. Catching Fai's smile, a small mischievous smile spread on Mitsu's face in return. ”Oh it was hard was it? I would have thought the two of you could handle something simple like that. Maybe next time I'll ask Dio instead.” he told them, his eyes saying he was teasing, ”And personally, I'm glad they didn't take the window. I don't fancy paying for a new one.” he finished.
Unfortunately, just at that moment, havoc decided that things weren't crazy enough as it was and it wanted to break in there. With nothing short of an annoyed expression, Mitsu observed the fight that should have been four-to-one, but may have well been all-out now that the desert twins were involved. He looked up when Amaya made it obvious that she had no desire to be involved and nodded watching as she retired to the kitchen before turning his gaze back to the event occurring in the room.
Seeing that Cecil had fallen, he rose to go assist her, only to find that a Templar had beaten him to it. Hearing the words they exchanged, he sighed, knowing exactly why Cecil was insistent on being left alone. Laying a hand on the boy's arm, he frowned.”I believe the young lady said she was fine, there is such a thing as being too helpful you know.”he offered helpfully before offering Cecil a hand and pulling her gently to her feet. The Templar boy still had a hold of her arm and was showing no sign of letting go. Biting his tongue in annoyance, Mitsu looked at him.”You know, you're not helping by holding on to her.”he said in annoyance, although his tone was smoothed down so that it was not as obvious. The boy dropped Cecil's arm in surprise and Mitsu led her carefully away.”Why don't you wait in the kitchen, you should be safe there.” he suggested, already guiding her in that direction.
Hearing Fai's warning, he gritted his teeth. Those two could be such trouble sometimes. He was already annoyed at what they had done to the shop so far, especially after he had mentioned that he didn't want to pay for a new window. In fact, he was almost certain that they had broken it just to spite him. He didn't dare say anything though, he could always talk with them later.
Anything else?: Stealth Weaponist means that he's trained in an arrangement of weapons that can be used stealthily. They are also very knowledgable in how to hide them on their person. Mitsu himself specializes in close-ranged weapons.
