very_bad_endName: Takano Miyo (鷹野三四)
Notes about her name: "Takano" is a fairly common name, but it's normally written as 高野. The 鷹 "taka" means hawk. The 高 "taka" means high/tall. The 野 "no" is just a common name ending. The use of 鷹野 instead of 高野 means her last name is rare, but not unheard of. It's unusual, but not fake.
"Miyo" is a different story. This is also a name that exists, but it's never written with 三四. The 三 "mi" means three. The 四 "yo" means four. 三四 is also a name that exists, but it's pronounced "Sanshi" or "Mitsushi". But then, names like 三四子 "miyoko" also exist, so it's not something that stands out as "fake name" either.
What's the relevance? Takano Miyo isn't her birth name. Her original name was Tanashi Miyoko 田無 美代子. She changed it when she was adopted by a man named Takano Hifumi 高野 一二三. In this case, the characters for "Hifumi" are literally "one" "two" "three". She intentionally shortened her first name and changed the lettering because she wanted to. Her name being "three four" when her Grandfather is "one two three" being a symbol of how she continues carrying out his work on behalf of his legacy.
As for why she changed her last name to 鷹野 instead of 高野, this was done to give her research a sense of objectivity. Her Grandfather was a scientist and she is also a scientist, studying the exact same subject, and trying to prove his research was valid. She assumed, correctly, that if anyone realized she was related to him, they might cast doubt on her results as "unobjective". So, she changed her name to a rarer variant to throw people off the trail. Apparently it worked. End Japanese lesson.
Age: Unspecified (early 30s)
Height: 5' 6"
Build: Healthily curvy.
Hair/Eyes: Blonde hair, brown/hazel eyes.
Notable Traits: No real physiological oddities (other than having blonde hair and brown eyes).
Powers:
Takano Miyo is a normal human being and has no supernatural powers. She does have advanced knowledge of medicine, neurology, parasitology, etc. as a scientist, and other academic areas that interest her (religious/occult studies), and the ability to speak several languages. (Japanese, German, English.)
Crystal-given powers:
1. Anesthetic Touch:
Can touch one part of a person's body and numb any pain felt there immediately. Can't be used on herself. Only once a day. The effects last an hour. Affects an area as big as she can place her hands on.
2. X-ray Vision:
Can see the bone structure of biological organisms as if an x-ray had been taken of them. Does not actually emit radiation. Does not work on non-biological things. (So she couldn't poison someone with it or use it to see through walls, but could examine a broken bone or see something stuck in someone's body.) Can be activated/deactivated at will.
3. Certainty:
Ensures an event where probability is a factor will result in the result most likely to occur. Once per day. The event must somehow be affected by Takano herself.
Example 1: Takano rolls two six-sided dice. The most likely outcome is to roll a set of numbers with a sum total of 7. Using this power would force the next roll to be a 7, because that is the number with the highest probability of being rolled, even if others are possible. This power would not work if Takano was sitting back and watching someone else roll dice.
Example 2: Takano fires a gun. There's a small chance the bullet will be a dud, or the next bullet will jam the gun. Using this power would ensure the next shot would fire perfectly. (It wouldn't affect whether there's any ammo left or if she aimed correctly.) This power would not work if Takano was just watching someone else use a gun.
Example 3: Takano performs surgery on someone. There's a chance there will be complications (blood clots, cardiac arrests, etc). This power would ensure the procedure would have a normal positive outcome. (At least to the extent of her ability.) This wouldn't work if Takano was watching someone else doing it.
