ATTITUDE

Style: Okonomiyaki-ryu is an entire fighting style based around the
art of cooking okonomiyaki, a japanese food somewhat similar to a
cross between a pancake and omelet.  All the attacks are related to
this in some way: practitioners use a large spatula as their main
weapon and small spatulas as backup or projectile weapons, and do a
variety of attacks using okonomiyaki and its ingredients.

---

Methods: First off, Ukyou doesn't really enjoy fighting that much
anymore, and will try to avoid combat if at all possible.

If forced to fight, she will stay very defensive, blocking or dodging
most attacks and only attacking when she sees an obvious opening.

-----

SPECIALS

Advantages:

Ukyou's biggest advantage is her defensive prowess; she's one of the
better purely defensive fighters in GRIT.  If concentrating wholly on
it, she can defend herself for a fair while from people of up to two
ranks higher.

---

Disadvantages:

As a corallary to her defensive abilities, though, Ukyou is relatively
weak on the offence.  If she misses an attack with her large weapon,
she is often left very open.

More debilitatingly, Ukyou is simply rusty.  While she keeps in shape,
she doesn't have the same interest in fighting many of the GRITers do;
in addition, she's usually surrounded by a group of far more powerful
protectors and thus sees little need to improve her own skills.  In
stuck alone in a fight she will be very hesistant and conservative,
often not taking even obvious opportunities to attack.

Techniques

Ukyou knows a variety of fairly powerful food-related attacks, but in
her current state is highly unlikely to use them.
