Name: Kamakura Meigetsuki
Kamakura's name comes from the Time period in which Nekomata's first began to appear in writing. (most Japenese Yokai were born, or rather given life and story to during the Edo period). While this is all OCC, its to include the etymology behind his name.
Meigetsuki or "Journal of the Full Moon" is the journal that contains the first writings about the Nekomata legend, and their appearance. It was written during the Kamakura era.

Birthday: January 1st
Age: 16

Race: Nekomata
Natural Ability:
Shape Shift – Can freely assume the form of a calico cat who's tail is split in two, and capable of walking on its hind legs. This is his natural form, and the humaniod one has been acquired with time and practice. He requires a skull pin in order to hold his humanoid body; he otherwise has trouble keeping the shape as he is still a young demon.
Personality:
Bold | Cunning | Perceptive | Ritualistic | Fastidious
Bold: Shows an ability to take risks, and is confident and courageous. Not afraid to step out of the shadows and hold his head high. A daring youngster who doesn't like to show when he is afraid, or emotional. His Audacious tendencies tend to be a bit cheeky, and defiant when he's in full force.
Cunning: Skilled in achieving one's ends by deceit if necessary. Kamakura is crafty, and will use any resource available to him to achieve and further himself. His wiliness and trickery are often applied to those foolish enough to allow him full control of them. He will take advantage of misfortune and turn it into his own luck.
Perceptive: Often displays that he has keen insight, and is rather observant. Responsive to sensory stimuli. Kamakura is sharp-witted and shrewd upon first glance. He is good at gathering information, and using his senses to take in the world. Has a knack for seeing things (or situations) for what they are.
Ritualistic: Insistent, and rather exaggerated emphasis on the importance of rites and ceremonies. He takes traditions seriously, and the studies of especially magical or religious practices also happen to be of great interest to the nekomata. OCD like compulsions cause him to repeatedly count, be it steps or grouping of objects when he's bored. Has a morbid fascination with numerology, especially uneven numbers.
Fastidious: Highly attentive to and concerned about accuracy and detail. He is meticulous and will go to painstaking lengths to make sure something is done the right way, even if it means taking his time. Happens to be rather picky. Takes great care and pride in his work. Kamakura is patient and is the type to lie in wait for the perfect moment. Very concerned about matters of cleanliness, after messing himself with blood he likes nothing more than a relaxing soak. His often capricious standards are difficult to please. A meticulous, sensitive and demanding demon.
The Meigetsuki family is well too do, originating from the mountains like many Nekomata's from a time long since forgotten. The family are a long line of Spirit Overseers; he/she who can easily locate those newly passed on ghosts. They are known for helping them get settled into this new life in Halloween. Legend has it Nekomata's are naturally friendly with all forms of spirits, undead and specters like beings. While they possess no abilities to control the dead, they have instead made a family business of the natural talent, and have for generations. They are good at helping transition those newly arrived.
Kamakura has three siblings, all of which are older than him. His twin sisters are second eldest, and his brother is the (rotten) apple of his parents eye. As he was born last, he often is picked on by his siblings and doesn't feel particularly close to them. Currently, he isn't that powerful or overly competent in his ability to summon small burst of fire, or flames. Fire and conjuring it is his preferred pass time and one day hopes to have better control. His Overseer powers haven't developed, and he's resistant to following in the traditions of his family history. For a demon he isn't very powerful just yet, as he is still young. As the youngest son he is expected to join in the business, like those before him. Instead he has opted to enroll in pursuit of furthering his knowledge. It is possible with time this latent overseeing power will come to be recognized.
He enjoys artistic adventures, jewelry and fancy clothes. With an eye for detail, he has a tendency to be forceful in his arguments and convictions. Kamakura likes things orderly, and done correctly. Likes collecting things, and adores the sounds bells make. This cat-demon is naturally curious, and will get himself into trouble in order to satisfy any nagging urges for further information. He is reserved, and prefers to watch and observe a situation before committing himself. He prefers to be the one in charge of a situation if possible. Kamakura isn't afraid to make requests, and can come across as cold and cynical. Often the nekomata likes to spend time hanging out in his feline body, that of a calico cat who's tails are split in two. He typically prefers his human form, it doesn't stop him from lazing about or seeking information that might be of use to him in either form. Not very physically powerful, his lingering flame orbs do the work for him, in time to make a mad dash and avoid injury.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Currently most interested in learning, he is fascinated by knowledge and wishes to grow into a more powerful cat-demon. Curious about meeting other shape-shifters (more specifically cat sub species).
FEAR Ability:
Burn Down: Used as a Supportive based ability akin to Tainted Fang. Can cast in either of his form; he conjures flame orbs that when touching an opponent slowly affects the target in a lingering-burn like fashion for the duration of its application. Vanishes after it's given time frame.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Amber-golden eyes narrowed in a suspicious stare. His iris/pupils are feline-like.
Hair Colour/Style: A mostly shaggy, ruffled hair style that is medium length. It is primarily black all over with white bangs.
Skin Colour: His ears, and split two tails are calico colouring. His cat markings are mostly white, with orange and black. As for the rest of his main body he is pale skinned.
Clothing Style/Colours: A white button down that has most of the top few buttons undone. Wears gloves that are white and black fingerless style. His neck tie is undone and draped around loosely around his shoulders and is black colour. He wears slightly baggy black socks. His shoes are black, and white tipped converse style shoes. Blood splattered on him wouldn't be unheard of but isn't a requirement.
Extra: Nails are painted black, and pointed/shaped into sharp claws.

(Side note for future natural ability reference. During year 2 his control of fire is enough to be used outside of battle for small simple tasks. In year 3 he'll come into his Overseeing powers, and be capable of easily finding ghosts that have just been created in Halloween. No control over them, or ability to manipulate however. )
