(Not my best work but I tried :'))

Pirate, Marine or Revolt

Crew: Straw Hat Pirates
Occupation: Hairdresser/Assassin
Personality:
- Takiko is a very curious one; sometimes to a point where you cannot trust her skills in decision-making. But with her curiosity comes her adventurous side, and she will volunteer to explore any island if asked to.
- Given the fact she is an assassin, most would believe her to be cold, unemotional, having no remorse, etc. And while it is true she is not that remorseful with her killings, she only does it to those who truly deserve it. She can actually be pretty sympathetic (and maybe even empathetic) when it comes down to it.
- Since she's an expert at hair, she definitely scolds someone if she sees it isn't taken care of (sometimes will scold the person if they aren't caring for themselves), making them go take a shower and afterward stylize their hair if allowed to.
- She is very observant with people, learning of when to be wary or not. Sometimes the crew doesn't see through someone's charades so she'll give herself the job of observing and making sure nobody is in danger.
- Now, towards more of her negatives: Taki is an overthinker. Intrusive thoughts go through her head a lot and sometimes that causes her to have second-thoughts. She also
- Overall? She's someone you want to pull out of your comfort zone, but also knowing where boundaries lie. She's normally reliable when she needs to be.

Likes: Styling hair (mostly wigs), inventing (limited), eating, being out in the rain, hanging out with those close to her
Dislikes: Her biological parents, messing up her wig, her friends/family hurt
Fears: Ghosts, having to be sent back to her biological home
Devil Fruit: N/A
Haki: Kenbunshoku Haki
Weapon(s): She has a bunch of "hair supplies" that she can turn into knives and other things with the flick of a switch, press of a button, etc. She favorite is her hairbrush that can turn into a big-ass sledgehammer, one side flat and the other spiked. Post-timeskip she made the hammer a little smaller and uses a scythe-axe that can disguise as a comb instead.
Strengths: Can be pretty speedy in battle, and in timeskip, due to her training, she becomes much more flexible and even a little muscular; her hand-to-hand combat is much better.
Weaknesses: She doesn't mind winging most things, but when a plan she thought thoroughly before battle doesn't work and there was no plan B, she starts getting nervous, and that affects her greatly in battle. She always likes to be prepared.
Bounty:
Pre-Timeskip: 20,000,000-90,000,000 Berri
Post-Timeskip: 90,000,000-400,000,000 Berri

Family:
Kobayashi Keres (Biological Mother, Alive)
Kobayashi John (Biolgical Father, Unknown)
Kobayashi Takashi (Biological Twin Brother, Alive)
Matsuda Rosa (Adoptive Mother, Killed by Kobayashi Keres during Marineford)
Matsuda Reina (Adoptive Older Sister, Alive)
Backstory:
- Okay, right off the bat; the family meant to have just one son, but they got surprised with twins instead
- It's worse when John leaves for a marine mission and eventually is labeled as MIA after a long time of searching
- Because of that, and the similarities between him and his lost father, Takashi was the favorite child
- Takiko couldn't seem to do anything right in her mother's eyes, and what started as verbal abuse eventually fused together with physical
- By the time she turned 7, Takiko ran away, luckily getting a spare boat and rowing away to wherever the seas will take her
- Fortunately for her, after a few days, she ended up on an island where she met the Matsuda family, immediately being taken in after figuring out the situation
- It started a bit rough, but after a few months Takiko felt part of the family, her hobbies and dreams being very influence by her new family
       - Being an assassin? Learnt from Rosa, she was a former assassin on the Whitebeard Pirates before retiring.
       - Her experience in inventing? That came from watching Reina make a weapon out of any sort of scrap she found.
- She stayed with them until she decided to leave with the Straw Hats and become a pirate (this is after Reina leaves to become a pirate herself)

Crush: Luffy
Backup Crush: Zoro
Goal: To become the greatest hairdresser
Other:
- Takiko is usually the one to dive in and pull the Devil-Fruit users (almost all except Robin) out of water. Luckily it got easier to hold them up after timeskip due to her strength.
- She doesn't invent fully from scratch, she takes stuff already made and tweaks it a bit...more than a bit.
      - She asks Franky and Usopp for advice sometimes.
- She has a small pet crocodile named Cascade (as shown in the picture). Despite her size her bite hurts like an absolute bitch, she does well in holding somebody in place so Taki gets her assassinations done easier. Just like her owner, Cascade is a curious little creature, and also loves to sunbathe.
- Pre-Timeskip: She's on night watch a lot; after getting continuous nightmares of her past she just refuses to sleep most of the time and being on a night watch is a perfect excuse to why she won't sleep.
- Every now and again Taki would jump at loud noises, though if asked if she's okay she'll just shrug it off; she didn't want to make it seem like a big deal.
- Some on the ship are nervous she uses the hair supplies disguised as weapons to do hair, but she actually has a separate set, so once they realize she's the go-to for asking for a new haircut.
- Post-Timeskip: Takiko has a habit of scratching the scar on her face. For whatever reason it gets irritated when she's nervous.
- Sometimes would just attempt to crawl around with her back arched (like what people do to look like a bridge) just to see how long and how far she can get around the ship without toppling over. It may look concerning but to her it's pretty fun!
