Through experimentation and practice, Amaryllis is now able to shape her blood into a powerful attack. As part of this attack, she usually augments her switchblade with a long, vicious point. Even without the switchblade, she can create a deadly spike in the palm of her hand to shove in the nearest enemy's neck. The stabs she inflicts with her deadly spike leave burning wounds as some of her blood mingles on the skin of her foe. Unlike a normal weapon, the wounds created by this spike refuse to heal through natural means as the Fleicher Family Curse mingles with the flesh of the untainted.
After some time, she can now use this ability without harming herself, learning to shape the spike with higher accuracy.

Ricter has started to befriend Kazarisu, a Kamaitachi yokai spirit that accompanies him. However, he needs a bit of 'motivation' to do more than just protect him, as such he feeds him a pint of alcohol to offer some inspiration.
Kazarisu resembles a stoat in appearance and size but can grow to be as big as a wolverine if he wishes, with paws that can extend into sickle-like claws. He has jagged white fur that is smooth to the touch with black coloring on his tail tip.
--------------------
"I've learned in nearly half a year that Kazarisu is a bit fickle, likes stupid jokes that I make, chicken, and drinking. I'm glad to have him around but he tends to be a bit of a menace, especially when he chugs a whole bottle of wine and ends up cutting up my curtains...Nonetheless, I'm starting to like him, we even started watching soap operas together."
"Lately, I have been demanding we work together but he just lacks...motivation, not in a bad way though. So I bribe him with some wine occasionally, which seems to give him a physical body somehow, probably some form of yokai logic. Although he's mentioned that if he 'died' he'd just revert to his more spiritual clingy self, which was a relief."

This witch is a cruel and vengeful creature who works her vile arts against those she deems worthy of punishment. All she must do is point.
