Chicory was born into a family of well-known merchants in a small village out in the country area of Japan. Chicory was born blind and while her parents knew this they did their best to treat Chicory as a normal child and not make her feel like she was different from anyone else. When she was young Chicory's mother always read to her and explained things to her. While Chicory couldn't actually see them she loved to visualize the things her mother read to her to the best of her ability. Chicory loved to hear the stories about when her and her father attended the DWMA and how they ended up falling in love.

This sparked Chicory's interest in romance and she asked her mother to read her romance novels and poems. When Chicory's weapon blood awakened her father decided it was time to train Chicory how to fight. Although Chicory didn't really like the idea of fighting her father was insistent and trained her to the best of his ability. Chicory struggled in her attempts to make her father proud and learn how to fight, her blindness often getting in the way. Noticing this, her father told Chicory to meditate and focus her mind on her surroundings by using her other four senses.

Chicory trained for weeks by herself attempting to find some way to get past her blindness in her training with her father. It took a while but Chicory eventually learned that she could sense where something was by the vibrations it made. She also learned that she could use her weapon form to send a vibrant wave through the ground that bounced off surfaces allowing her to tell where things were around her. Chicory then continued her fathers training and had made great progress with her new ability. She was even able to knock her father down with a powerful attack using her wavelength to create a vibrant force.

However, Chicory learned that this power was just as capable of hurting her as much as an enemy and now rarely uses it. When Chicory wasn't training she would often offer to help her parents with the shop. She had memorized every inch of the shop and was able to place things on shelves and find things for customers. There were people who would sometimes make fun of Chicory and do things such as trip her in the shop or call her names. These events usually ended up in Chicory running away in tears. But her mother and father would always support Chicory and stand up for her. Her mother would usually calm her down while her father struck fear into the kids that bullied Chicory.

When she turned fifteen Chicory's father announced to her that he felt she was ready to attend the DWMA. Chicory, while unsure that she was ready to attend the wonderful academy her mother and father met at, was excited that her father had such faith in her. It was then that Chicory and her parents traveled to their vacation house in Death City and Chicory applied to the DWMA, ready to make her family proud and find her own love within the walls of the Academy.

⋆ Staff

⋆ Chicory's weapon form is a Bō. A Bō is a staff that is about 6 feet long and commonly used in Japanese Martial Arts. Chicory's Bō form is completely black besides the reflection of her shown on the surface of the staff when she chooses to reveal herself. A Bō is to be considered an extension of the Meister's body and used as such in battle. Bōjutsu is the name of the fighting style practiced with a Bō. This style often incorperates open-palmed strikes along with the normal swings, thrusts, and blocking techniques with the Bō.
⋆ For Chicory's partial transformation she is able to transform her lower leg into a section of the Bō. This is not purely for combat however. Chicory has learned that she can use this transformation in order to send vibrations through the ground that then bounce off nearby surfaces and objects and travel back through the Bō. Partnered with her enhanced hearing this allows Chicory to determine the location of objects or surfaces near her.

⋆ Echo-location: Using her enhanced senses of hearing and touch along with her partial or full transformation Chicory is able to pick up physical or ambient vibrations. This allows her to determine generally where something or someone is. This is a good way to find hidden enemies.
⋆ Wave shock: This technique uses Chicory's and/or her Meister's wavelength energy to cause a sort of vibrant-wave to course through Chicory and causes her to shake rapidly for a moment. When used in a strike this can cause an increase in force. However these strong vibrations are also capable of harming Chicory in the process and are often used sparingly.
