After mirror effect

Once the transformation of the mirror took place, the players which were accompanying Kiyoshi had all disappeared and were replaced by older or younger people. Kiyoshi was a bit caught off guard till he too looked into the mirror in his hands only to see that he was now a she. The other players didn't believe that the boy which was very helpful to them was actually a girl. She was going to explain her case till  Akihiko Kayaba spoke again, interrupting her words. He continued his final explanation before returning back into the red covered hexagon announcement hexagon before they to disappeared. Kiyoshi, no.. Akatsuki looked back to the players all either scared, quiet or yelling to the sky. She didn't have any time to hesitate. Instead, without any time to explain she ran. She knew the game rules along with which way to go. This game was yet another bad luck incident adding to the list to her life. She cursed out and knew that if what Akihiko Kayaba said was true that it would be very limited on sources and money to survive. Only two months in the beta and she knew her way around, so it wouldn't be difficult. Considering this game was now more dangerous she had to conceal her identity again, making herself hidden and masculine. Her voice was to high to make it sound like one, but maybe she could pass as a boy that hadn't hit puberty. She sighed as she got to the next village now concealing her whole image, being rather mysterious under the dark clothing.

Months had passed since the incident with Akihiko Kayaba and 'Kiyoshi' had become a well known player. 'He' was a mysterious young 'man', one with many secrets. She didn't speak much, only when spoken to or when accepting a quest. She was a solo player as well, but one of the few still living. Almost everyone gave her trouble for being a Beta tester and wanted to call him a Beater along with The Black Swordsmen Kirito, yet she didn't think she was as great as him. She would reject the title of a Beater and ignored all players who accused her of such. She disliked cheaters in reality, so she herself would never let her avatar become so low and selfish. Kiyoshi continued her journey gaining other names, such as Black Crow and Midnight Crusader. She was well trained with any type of weapon mostly them being swords or spears. Kiyoshi was proud of still being alive. After seeing her family in pain of her being hospitalized for so long, she knew that she had to continue on living, not for herself, but for her beloved family that cared for her so much.

On the front lines, Kiyoshi and Kirito would argue with Asuna's plans. Kiyoshi didn't have anything against the girl, but some of her plans were reckless and had no strategy which could endanger someone if thought out wrong. Most, if not always, Kiyoshi and Asuna would get into it really bad to were they's have to kick Kiyoshi out from the meetings just to get things done with. After the meeting and watching players exit the meeting, she would go to Kirito, ask for a report and be on her way. Kirito wasn't the friendliest of the players, but he did understand Kiyoshi, more than most could. In due time they became friends, aiding each other out when the time came of it.

As far as a guild, Kiyoshi would never join regardless of how many offers. It wasn't because of pride, or thinking players were weak, it was the fact that her friend Kirito had spoken to him of so many deaths he had witnessed when in a guild of his own. The pain in is voice made Kiyoshi react to never join a guild to see someone suffer the same fate as Kirito's friend. To this very day she roams the levels of Aincrad to help those in need as well as find a way to the last level.

Appearance: Considering the transformation had changed her into her real form she has to mask her feminine figure to continue being a male player. She didn't want to be an easy target, nor did she want to be the reason for someone else to die if they were to try saving a damsel in distress so she dressed in a male manner. Doing this was successful. Dressing in dark colors for a girl in the game was also a negative and they didn't expect this much from them. Kiyoshi thought hard of a design which could keep her identity as a female to herself when the design for her attire came to her.

Kiyoshi would wear a long band of cloth around her chest, bonding her breasts down to conceal them from other players. It was painful, but being a female in the game would cause to many problems for her and others. Once she had done so, she wore that of a black turtleneck, being very tight on her body and curves. Considering her breasts where slightly hidden she wore a silver chest plate to hide what ever she couldn't with the bands themselves. The black pants she wore were loose enough to not show any feminine curves and had silver knee pads strapped around her knees for protection. Over her dark attire she wore a large coat keeping her small figure away from sight. The attention would now be brought to her clothing as the coat  would have gray and silver feathers with fur. The lining of the jacket was a dark blue, not really able to tell the difference between the black and it's color. She took her long hair into a low ponytail and stuck it between her back and coat, keeping it hidden among the players. To hide her feminine face she used a glass like onyx mask that kept her eyes hidden. One would think it would be hard to see through them, but it was clear for her. She wore silver finger-less gloves as well a black combat boots with her pants tucked into them. As she continued to add more to the attire she looked more and more like a male, still having feminine traits, but mainly looking like a pretty boy. 

Personality: Kiyoshi has self-confidence and always dresses is best. He really doesn't care what people think of him, he's a man of action; taking control of the situation by acting first and thinking later. He's not one to stress over a given situation. His hand gestures as slow and deliberate, breaths slowly from deep in is chest, and speaks slowly, using fewest words necessary  His confidence is shown through his way of movement as well. Kiyoshi controls the pace of a conversation with thoughtful pauses or well-timed interruption, moves at his own speed and his forward motion is smooth and purposeful at any speed. He lives by his rules, vary rare does his moral code and the law overlap. Kiyoshi is a straight forward guy, giving is opinion without being asked as well as never apologizing or explaining his actions. Either he doesn't answer questions or gives basic responses to other players. Instead, Kiyoshi thinks he is in control of the game and keeps his strategy to himself. This forces others to guess what he’s thinking – usually guessing wrong, which helps the him maintain control of the game. Always ahead of the game – he would be intelligent, well informed, and resourceful to other players, considering he was a beta tester. Kiyoshi exudes an air of danger and unpredictability –  making players want him as a friend and not enemy. Regardless of how he acts his ego is never a problem. Kiyoshi is a genuine nice guy at times who recognizes others and never boasts or brags about his accomplishments. His emotion speaks for himself, being a happy person in any situation, regardless of it being tragic or not. Unafraid of the unexpected or unknown, he gives the impression that he is a predator, always stalking potential prey which cause people look to him for decisions. He always tries to smooth down any bad situation with his well-developed sense of humor and sharp wit. He laughs at himself and the rest of the world which makes others laugh as well. His humor can he sarcastic and twisted at times though. Even if he can be rude at time, his is honorable, shows his integrity, and above all loyal – seeking the same qualities in those he considers his friends/allies.
