Water Breathing Teacher Ceya Plastia

Ceya Plastia

A woman of faith, which faith...all of them. She was raised to be accommodating of everyone and everything, nothing is beneath you and you must see the world as something that must be loved as a whole and nothing ostracized. Ceya's family owned and ran an all inclusive religious building on the Hachijojima Island, there they would allow people of all faiths to minister to each other and it was also a place of learning. Her family was held in high regards within the town for their outreach and help with all things that happened on the island so it was only natural that she would also follow in their foot steps. Ceya from an early age always had an inclination for caring for others and her family fostered that care and love allowing her to thrive in her environment. Everyday of her life was spent learning the religions of the world from the prominent to the most obscure faiths that had very few members, even going as far as to learn about most cults as well who had their own rules and faith.

Before she joined the Demon Slayer Corps she had to ensure that they weren't an evil entity or another scam she had seen so many fall to during her life. There was so much hate in the world, so many people attempting to harm those that couldn't defend themselves....she wanted to believe in the good of people and for the most part she did. However when asked if she would like to offer her services to serve a greater need she had to be sure her families name wouldn't be tied to any nefarious groups. Ceya spent almost four months with the leader of the group at their grounds taking in all of their ups and downs, all the deaths and every broken slayer that came beck with a story of how they saved a life but also the ones that were lost. She began ministering to all those that would listen to her during her time at the main branch home. Her caring nature and the ability for her to listen to each person no matter their faith she would listen intently and offer up prayer and comfort. It soon became apparent that she could do much more for these people and she wanted to contribute herself to the ideals of the Corps. It became clear as well that her fluidity was an ability that would mesh well with the free flow of the water breathing style.

Ceya is an amazingly calm teacher always going with the flow of any situation, never leaving any chance unused to turn something into a learning experience. Her preferred method of teaching is to guide her students through each motion as if she were loving on a close relative or a young child which is often the case with most of the students. You can be sure you'll learn the water breathing style but she'll also teach you how to be a good person and the best iteration of yourself you can be.

Water breathing special ability
Water breathing users focus on being in constant movement and as such they can change their breathing attack mid form to increase the damage of their next attack.(when using water breathing attacks you can flow them together into each other increasing the damage of each attack. Should one of the breathing techniques in the combo miss or glance it resets the combo. 1st attack will always do normal damage, second will be +3, and the third will be +6. Due to stringing multiple breathing attacks together the overall cost of breath will decrease as well each attack after the 1st will reduce the breath cost by half for each move)
