Himawari Kunogi

New Year 2012 Snow Globe

controllingluck — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:46:32 GMT

Himawari's Snow Globe isn't as fantastic as some people might show. Her life was simple back home and so there were simple images. Sometimes it showed her home, her room, or her street, a simple Japanese home that was very clean and orderly. Sometimes there was a picture of a piano with the sunlight coming in on a window. Nothing extraordinary but still a well loved instrument.

There are some images of her school from time to time. A small class room, the track and field, the lunch room or just the front of the school itself.

Sometimes a small park, not too far away from her home can be seen. Little stone figures of animals, a polished stone turtle slide, a sand box, or a blanket on the ground with food ready to eat. Sometimes you can see a blurry figure or two and sometimes you cant.

Shake it again and you might see a old little shop with a beautiful yard and wooden fence where her closest friend works with a lovely woman.

Or sometimes a old and well taken care of shrine where her friend was born and raised. Where she and her friends told stories and watched as supernatural things happened. Or images of the temple that her grandmother took her to as a young girl in order to find out if she was cursed or not.

Once in a while there is a not so lovely image. A fire of a house near her own, or an image of a blurry body laying in a pool of blood, but they are never clear and if she has any say they wont be there long, shaken away swiftly.

And once in a while you might see something really strange! Images that look like forests, or the ocean, or creatures near caves or figures that could be zombies on Halloween, or figures in a distance running through sakura trees with cat ears and tails, or images of 1000's of kittens flooding a city, or even a raging fire of a city. A calming picture or a stormy ocean on a drenched beach. A simple picture of a very large sword propped up against a thick twisted tree off the beaten path. A small apartment with a sheet of cookies on the counter, fresh from the oven. Images of an Island she was on before she appeared here. All of them less ordinary then her home life before.

"I was trying far too hard To be what I thought I should be I was playing wild cards and Seeing things that weren't in front of me Like a little tiger, play fighting, I was hurting myself, again and again Because I'm hopeless."

Hair, lots of hair, Swirling and twirling, Dark and long and Hiding so many small things, Tied back with colors of Bright pretty ribbony strings. A sadness of person, A mask to hide true feelings, Simple and clean and white. Black luck, bad luck, Cats crossing and Bad broken mirrors. The lucky number seven Is only on your side if She wishes it to be. Bows and arrows, A sword in hand, Walking down a long path Alone but prepared. A single yellow bird As an only friend, Standing alone in a field Like a bright sunny flower.

If you have interacted with Himawari and would like to be added to it or want to know how she feels of your character, just drop a line here! She’s had TONS of interactions with people through the NVs and I know I am missing a few, so consider this a work in progress!

ҠЁϒ: ♦..........Acquittance ♦♦.........Friend ♦♦♦........Good Friend ✚..........Trusted ✖..........Not Trusted ◉..........Watches for this person on the network ♥..........Love, Family or Someone she will do anything for ❖..........Dislike, Hate or Avoid as best as possible ✿..........A fellow Greeter/Greeter Protection/Medical Program ✞..........Gone (number indicates how many times gone) ✞..........Gone and Back again/Different

Shizuka Doumeki [ drainedpaladin ]		Kimihiro Watanuki [ successoroftime ]
♦♦♦ ✚ ◉ ♥ ✞	"I've done a lot of growing because of Doumkei-kun. He's taught me to shoot an arrow with some skill and has taken care of me both at home and at the other island. While he was here I felt a little distant, not wanting to rely on him as much. I regret pulling away from him however; now that he's gone I regret it deeply. He's very nearly my closest friend back home and I miss him dearly. With out him I wouldn't have had the courage to be who I am now."	♦♦♦ ✚ ◉ ♥ ✞	"I love Watanuki with all of my heart. He is a very good friend who has taught me a lot about trusting people. He also taught me to make cookies! Though he changed a few times over the years we have both been to two islands as well. I am glad for the time I got to spend with him there, here and at home. He is gone now and I can only hope that he is happy and safe at home again. I am babysitting his cat, Koyuki until he returns, if he does."
Sephiroth [ onlyone_wing ]		Will Graham [ eidetic_graham ]
♦♦♦ ✚ ◉ ♥ ✿	"It is... hard to figure out exactly how it happened but he is perhaps the closest person in port that I consider to be a true friend. He's interesting, calm, protective, handsome and very trustworthy. ~~I don't want to admit that I might have a small crush on him, oh dear, that's not good...~~ He knows about my curse and still seems to want to help. I hope I help him as well. He started a Greeter Protection Service to help keep greeters safe on the job, though I feel... guilt(?) because it happened after I died. I trust him above all others at this moment."	♦♦ ✚ ◉	"He's such a nice guy who seems to have some problems (but who doesn't?). I don't think he's adjusting well to the city, or I should say it took him a while to do so. I sometimes wonder if he thinks it's all a really bad dream. I can't blame him for that however as it does seem like a bad dream. He works at the boat rental place and seemed to enjoy the ocean! I've really enjoyed talking with him and really hope I'm not a bother. "
Yosuke Hanamura [ yosukecantstop/outbursting ]		Shikamaru Nara [ underachieves ]
♦♦ ✚ ◉✞	"He was so surprising and sweet! For a while he was one of my closest friends in port and someone who knew about my curse but didn't seem to mind. He just seemed to show up one day in my life and I wouldn't have traded that for anything. Yosuke died and... has left the Port then returned... but he doesn't remember any of it, at all. I think perhaps his death was partly my fault. I forgot to remove the curse and—oh, I just think it might be easier...kinder to him if I kept my distance again. He's far too kind to have to suffer any more pains. "	♦♦ ✚ ◉	"He's Yosuke and Naruto's close friend and someone I find really interesting. Aloof and laid back but with such a bad rep now. It seems like he's gone through so much and his friends always seem to close to him. I sometimes wonder if I bother him though. I try not to poke at him too much now but I try to keep an ear out for news on him. When I returned after a death I was really surprised to find him offering company and take-out. He seems really understanding and caring, even if some of the other Newcomers cant see that. I try to keep my distance... I don't want to bring him trouble. "
Naruto Uzumaki [ unfeasible ]		Roronoa Zoro [ pokerfacemarimo ]
♦♦♦ ✚ ◉ ✞	"He was another person who just came out of nowhere, yelling and cheering and being loud and pretty much just... telling me that we would be friend. I laughed it off at first because it was amusing. Cute even. When he actually stuck around or checked up on me though I realized he was just that, a good friend. I wish I could have spent more time with him when he was here. I miss hearing the loud network posts! "	♦♦ ✚ ✞	"A interesting person! Zoro was very stern and grumpy faced almost all of the time but when you got him to laugh he laughed out loud and proudly. It was so very lovely! He learned about my curse and challenged it! Haha, then challenged me. He taught me what it was to be a warrior as well as how to train better with my sword. I really miss our training (even the rope around my waste tied to a huge rock I still can't move!) and time spent together. He's left port and returned to remember none of it though. Again... another lost friend. He's different now and I don't like to bother him. It's... not the same. Which is good, really, for him ~~and me. I think I was starting to fall for him~~. "
Genesis Rhapsodos [ redpeacock ]		Robert Grémil (Hannibal Lecter) [ eats_the_rude ]
♦ ✚ ✿	"He's a close friend of Sephiroth's (though I think there is a time-line difference somewhere) and another General from that world. Or, was at least. He seems much more laid back on some things then the other man and though I haven't spoken with him much at all he seems rather interesting. I'm hoping to have the chance to chat with him more. I'll be careful though, as he doesn't know about my curse and the last thing I want is to hurt him. "	♦♦ ✚✿	"A medical student and a gentleman! I think at first I was a little startled by him. He has such a way of speaking that I haven't really experiences in port yet, but he seems to be very intelligent so that explains a lot. He speaks French! As well as a bit of Japanese it seems! I'm trying to help get an on site medic for the greeters because of his grand ideas and I really hope it works. I'd really like to talk with him more, as he seems to be a real interesting conversation. "
Robin (Damian Wayne) [ birdthright ]		Sylar [ fixesclocks ]
♦✚◉	"He's so small and young to be a superhero, but that's what he reminds me of! He broke into my house one night with all his bitty rage to ask me questions about Sylar and my death. I don't blame him for being so upset. He said that his father had died because of the man. An angry boy, but you can't blame him for that. I'm going to keep an eye out for him on the network, if I can. "	✖◉❖	"Horrible, horrible, jerkface, mean, evil man! Oh, I just... I can't even keep my thoughts straight with this! I've never actually had so much hate for a person before him. There was that woman who kept hurting my friends, back at the other island but even then... even then I just—He killed me! I just offered him help as a greeter and he turned around and took my brain! I don't know what to say about him other then I really do wish him the worst luck ever. He's so powerful and seems to have no sense of regret for anything he does. He... scares me, a lot."
Oruha [ marked_songbird ]		Amy Sorel [ makeumypet ]
♦♦ ✚ ✿✞	"I didn't get to talk to her much or for that long and I think I felt a little out of sorts half the time we spoke but she was a very lovely woman with such a lovely voice. I was really looking forward to talking to her more often but... well, someone reported that she was—ah, gone. We'll leave it at gone. She had such grace to her though, and I loved her hair."	♦♦ ✚	"Oh! I am so out of contact with Amy! I think she seems very nice though sometimes hard to talk to. Every tiem I start to worry that I bother her though she contacts me somewhere next. I need to try and keep in better contact with her though, I really do. She's so young. "
Sirius Black [ atrumcanis ]		Remus Lupin [ niteolupus ]
♦♦♦ ✚ ◉	"Remus's friend from England! I actually spoke to him after Remus left, but I had heard a bit about him. He seems like a really fun guy. He was so kind to come and help me when Watanuki and Doumeki disappeared for the first time. He took me to their apartment by magic too! It was really amazing. He knows about my curse and seems to think he can brave it. I don't think he knows I can control it now though, or at least not as well as I do. He's a bit like a little brother I always wanted... but I haven't been good with keeping contact with him. I should fix that. He helped me a lot with Oran as well! "	♦♦ ✚ ◉✞	"He was really friendly and rather amusing! A friend of Sirius' I met Remus first at a club on Friday the 13th, watching him pull pranks on people. They were all innocent and really fun so I've always been very glad that I ventured out. He encouraged me to get out of my home and I did. Conversations with him were intelligent and fun! I'm pretty sure if he had stuck around I ~~might have really been in trouble with my heart~~ would have had a really brilliant friend. "
Joe Fieldman (Replica Riku) [ madeinoblivion ]		Peter Petrelli [ askedtobe ]
♦♦ ✚	"Energetic, happy, strong willed and opinionated! Joe is a wonderful guy! He pops up on the network once in a while and has been nothing but friendly and caring to me. He even offered to let me stay with the group of them for company and safety when I got back. Offered help in protecting me. I think it's simply charming and I really, really do love hearing from him. I must learn to contact him more often."	♦♦ ✚◉	"I met him around Christmas of 2010, shortly after he got into port. We've had a few nice if not sad conversations and he was very sweet, or so I think. I feel bad though because I haven't kept up with him and what he's doing in port, but I also feel like I should... keep distance from him as well. I don't know... I worry I might infect him with some more bad luck and really, he doesn't need anymore. "
Uryū Ishida [ sequincy ]		Tamaki Suoh [ daddydaioh ]
♦♦	"A gentleman and fantastic seamstress (should that be tailor? Oh my). I haven't spoken to him as much as I might like to but conversations have been interesting in the past. Something about him reminds me of someone I knew before but it's so very hard to remember. I commissioned him to make me a dress once and truthfully it's one of my favorite dresses that I own. I'd love to buy a few more of his designs."	♦♦ ✿	"The King of Greeters! I don't get to talk to him nearly as often as I should because conversations with him feel like you are talking to royalty. Well, cheerful and friendly royalty at least. He joined the Greeters shortly after I did and he's just been a joy to work with. "
Allen Walker [ payingthepiper ]		Sora [ lockandkeyblade ]
♦♦ ✚ ✿	"He helped Watanuki get Doumeki back from the slave raids a year or more ago. Since then I've noticed him here and there in port. He seems to love to eat! When I returned... he was one of the people who came out to help me get inside. I really don't think I have thanked him properly for that. He's been there so often for me or my friends. I need to look in on him more."	♦♦ ✿	"I don't know him too well but he was really interested in the Greeter Program, which makes me happy! He's so very young but also very strong. Something about him reminds me of a more cheerful Syaoran though. Seeing him makes me remember my friends. He's a really good guy I believe."
Amy Pond [ remembered ]		Doctor [ stillhaslegs ]
♦♦ ✿	"Another Amy! She's one of my favorite new Greeters (oh but that's not good to say I have favorites, is it? Ah well, still. I really love that she took the job. I think it's a great idea for her. Very flexible for her personality. She seems very strong and protective. A friend of the Doctor, though her wit about the man and how she tries to warn people about him makes me giggle. I'd love to get to know her better some time. "	♦ ✿	"The man in the silly bowtie and the really interesting stories. Time and space! He too is a greeter and I am glad he took the job. I think, like his friend Amy, that it's a well fitted job for someone as curious as he is. He seems very smart as well. A very nice but very active man. "
Isshin Kurosaki [ isshinkurosaki ]		Shiroe Rei Seki [ zealouspeter ]
♦ ✚✞	"I miss the doctor. He was a very nice older man who got here about when I did. He had a great sense of humor! Something about him reminds me of someone I think I should know but I can't lay my finger on it at all! Still, he was great and helpful to the newcomers when he was here. I miss him and his jokes. "	♦	"A college student like myself. He seems a bit of a … oh what do they call it on the internet, a troll? He seems to like to text and I always like answering his questions. I ran into him once but that seems so long ago. He's another person I haven't actually properly kept I contact with. He's more like someone I just notice is still around."
Zuko [ zuzukins ]		Larry Buttz [ troublesmells ]
♦♦ ✞	"A prince! Or so I heard. He seemed really awkward for the most part but oh he was a lot of fun to talk to. I feel bad for him and his sister though. Those rotgut kittens are really frightening. It was the attack on him by those kittens that made me realize just how frightening the darkness really can be. He's been gone for some time now but once in a while I wonder how he's doing. "	♦♦	"A very charming, funny, passionate, lively and adorable man. He's been nothing but a gentlemen when we speak as well as very caring. I think he worries easy like I do which seems to make it easier to talk to him at times. I don't know him that well but I consider him a friend."
Hitsugaya Toushirou [ icy_heavens ]		Hope Estheim [ escapedpandora ]
♦	"Another person I haven't had much contact with but he's still very nice. He seems young but very wise beyond his years. Grumpy as well. I think deep down somewhere he does care about things. I should check in on him again. "	♦ ✚	"So very kind! Another young man who is stuck in this city like the rest of us and I wish didn't have to deal with such bad things. He's way too nice. When there was some power issues he came and helped me take care of my pets. Walked Oran. I can't even thank him enough for that time. "
Miles Edgeworth [ mentis_reae ]		Re-l Mayer [ proxysearch ]
♦ ✚	"We have had a few conversations here and there. Very early on. He seems like a popular man (good or bad) and always very busy. I respect the hard work he put into building up the newcomer funds and everything he has done for the group of us."	♦ ✚	"She's beautiful and so skilled. We don't talk much but I do keep tabs on what she's doing or at least her status. She works for the SPFD and that's pretty cool, really. She also has been a great help to the Newcomers and even got a boarding house to help support it! When people start to find themselves in need of a place to go for a bit, I can point that out to them."
Daedalus Yumeno [ gaveherwings ]		Tifa Lockheart [ meteor_heart ]
♦✚	"During one of those big earthquakes I got really badly hurt. I hear he was the doctor that got... um... well that had to take care of him. I feel bad for how it was handled. My boss at the time was really very insistent that I was taken proper care of though. I don't talk to him often but I keep an ear out for him and what he's doing. He does so much for the Newcomers that it's always good to know what is going on. "	♦	"A lovely woman! She works at one of the bars ran by Newcomers! At the start she helped a lot with the escort groups and protection groups. We don't really talk anymore but she is so sweet and strong. "

How's My Driving: So... What do you think? How am I doing? I've taken her from the last moment that you see her in the series, and head canon'ed the rest of it to keep her tied in with two canon mates time frames. So she's pulled from chapter 175 page 10 and 11. But it is assumed she has been around and doing things the last few days of the series as well. With that in mind... how am I doing? Do you have tips? Tricks? Gripes? Praise? Anything is welcome and I tend to take crit well, as long as it's given in the hopes to help me improve.

With that in mind, regard me kindly, and thank you.

General
Canon Source: xxxHolic
Canon Format: Manga, Chapter 175-185
Character's Name: Himawari Kunogi
Character's Age: Turned 18 at the end of November

What form will your character's NV take? Uncreative like, her NV will take on the form of a simple white, blue and yellow cell phone. There is a phone sized screen on the top of it and a QWERTY keyboard that slides out at the bottom. In the back when slide out is a small screen that folds out for holo recording. Text, video, voice and such can be done on this as well. Hanging from the phone from the top was a phone strap decorated in sun flowers with a little yellow bird charm. Also a small blue, black and gray ‘frog’ looking charm that she had back from the island. Simple, portable, small enough to put in a pocket or strap around her wrist.

Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities: Himawari really has no super human abilities or anything fantastic to list. She can’t fly or leap buildings and really isn’t even a fighter at all, but her bad luck could be considered an ability. She tends to have a life long case of Bad Luck that affects those she makes connections to. So far only four beings have been unaffected by her Bad Luck. That would be her mother, father, Doumeki, and her pet bird, Tanpopo that her good friend Watanuki hatched specially for her.

She has never taken any martial arts courses or anything like that for fear of harming someone unfairly in competition or training, though, while she couldn’t do that so well, she’s a good runner on the track and in good physical condition. She’s fairly good with traditional dance styles as well though she’s not practices in ages. She’s rather smart though she appears and plays a ditz fairly well; she’s just not as dimwitted as she might appear. Problem solving can at times be simple but she tends to help by dropping hints and letting others solve the issues while she cheers them on from the side lines.

Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them? While she does have some bad luck curse on her, I would like the world to have changed it just a bit. I’d like to put a slow growing ‘control’ over her bad luck. Something that she can learn as she grows up here. At first the normal habits of her bad luck will be here, but as time goes I want her to find that she can control the bad luck. Ultimately in the end I would like her to be able to give her bad luck to those she wishes to do so with.

With that said I would also like to note that this new talent doesn’t come with out some issues. Where she might be able to ‘restrain’ the bad luck, meaning she can interact more like a normal human, but also ‘give’ it to others. Only… when she gives it to others it will come back on her personally for the first time. In example: She gives a person a very brief case of bad luck, a trip over their own feet ‘I lost my wallet’ kind of bad luck. Later she will suffer that sort of bad luck only a bit worse. If she gives someone extreme bad luck, it could return to her ten fold and possibly kill her in the end. Think of it in terms of Bad Karma. You wish someone ‘bad’ and you get it back times 10.

With this kind of restriction I feel it might be interesting to see how she handles it. She’ll slowly get over her worries of harming others for one, but now she will have restrictions on how often she uses her powers. If she’s hurt by her own power it will keep her from just… giving bad luck to anyone for anything, thus keeping her from being over powered.

Weapons: Because I am taking her from another game and she has been taking lesions from two good friends on it, I would like to ask that a sword that was gifted to her and something she has learned to carry around with her all the time to keep herself defended while running alone come with her. Her sword and a short bow set that another good friend gave her. From where I am pulling her, she would have the sword on her person anyhow, and I would like the bow set to come with her as well. Other then these she has no weapons on her really.

History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History: The term born under a bad sign should really have been placed on the baby Himawari so long ago. She seems, for no reason at all, to be 'blessed' with really bad luck. Something that only her mother, father and now Doumeki and Tanpopo seem to be unaffected by. Because of her ridiculous bad luck, things have happened to people around her all over. People she is connected to end up hurt in mysterious or simple ways just by knowing her. The people next door, after she picked up a ball from their yard, experienced a massive fire of their home. And even after her grandmother took her to a priest at a young age, to be checked, even after being told it's an incurable case of bad luck, the old woman passed on. Himawari knows that she was old and ill, but still it seems to fall under her curse of bad luck none the less.

While attending Cross Private School she tried very hard to keep away from people. But this one adorable bespectacled young man kept wiggling his way in and befriending her. There were others too, girls of her class and the archer as well, but she always tried her best to stay distant. Because of this distance she might have come off as standoffish or even snobbish to some people, though she was very friendly. Through the fact that Doumeki-kun does not seem to be affected by her bad luck, she has been able to become 'friends' with Watanuki. Always inviting or being invited to do things with the boy, she makes sure that Doumeki will be around as well, to keep Watanuki-kun safe. Nine times out of ten though she leaves the boys to go about something alone.

She's gotten better about that though. After the incident with Watanuki-kun’s fall she helped pay the price of his recovery, though she asked that her payment was held secret. Only Yuuko, Doumeki and Mokona know that as payment for her wish to help Watanuki she took the scars from his fall. She'd rather keep it that way too.

With a gift of Tanpopo from Watanuki she has gained one more being that is immune to her bad luck, meaning that she isn't so alone anymore. It's been very nice to have the little golden bird as a companion always nested there at her side. As of late she has grown more accustomed to having a few friends and likes to keep in contact with them. Still careful about these things, she will be friendly to your face, but in her heart attempt to be distant from everyone. She will speak kindly and be out going, but still never really grow close to people. It's just set in her history like that.

Point in Canon: Taken from the last possible moment in the series I could take her, she last saw Watanuki at school, giving him her first try at cookies and saying they were for Doumeki as well.

Conditional: Brief summary of previous RP history: salkia_island is an island RPG where a 13 year old fan fiction writer has taken control of the lives of characters. Himawari was pulled from home about 6 months ago and put on this island with out knowing why. While on the island she has had to grow up a bit more seeing as she doesn’t have her mother or father to watch over her anymore. Fighting home sickness and trying to stay away from people for a while, she tried very hard to learn the Island, so she knew how best to keep friends and others safe.

While here she met three people from home, Doumeki, Watanuki and Kohane. In the last few months of being here her friendship with Doumeki has grown the most out of everyone’s, having gotten closer to him then she was before. She has come to think of him as her closest and best friend and worries a lot about him. She actually worries a lot about most of her new and old friends here, and she has made a few new friends.

For being far away from home in some unexplained setting or world, away from her parents and loved ones, Himawari feels she’s been doing alright for herself, for the most part. She’s made friends in a few people other then those she knows.

While on the island she has found vampires are indeed real and very different from place to place. One thing seems for sure though; her blood affects them with her bad luck. If bitten or if her blood is put into their blood stream they will get extremely bad luck until it works out of their system. Otherwise she was never too harmed and never too attacked in any one event or another. She made friends with vampires and never really had to worry about them hurting her.

Salkia Island has monsters on it though, in the forests, and you have o cut though patches of forest to get to the lake and beaches. Every morning she had taken to jogging around the small city of Salkia, running from her home or apartment, down the way to the forest, and going where ever her feet took her that morning. Some times she’d run to the lake and around it, other times she’d run to the beach and down it. Most of the time she would run around the outskirts of the city, near the forest, just to let her mind wander and to think things over. None of which was exactly the best idea, seeing that the monsters tended to come out into the park, or lived in the forest and such.

Needing a way to defend herself, she wanted to learn some form of defense or weaponry, like so many other people around had. Doumeki had thankfully started to teach her to use a bow, which he found she was a natural with. Her bad luck to others seemed to also be a good luck in her archery. He got her a small bow to train on and they practiced, not only in the recreational center but also in the woods. On her first try, with some form of luck for herself and bad luck for the monster, she pegged it. Sadly they were attacked by another monster before too long, and so their training didn’t last too long.

Mean while, in between times with that she had ran into another boy (who’s name, once she comes to Sirens Pull will have escaped her, sadly) who, although he was a bit of a grumpy guy, seemed willing to teach a young girl to use a sword. She refused, too worried to harm him with her curse, but once he learned of it, he was twice as determined. He got wooden swords to help ease her fears, which it did, and helped train her out in the forest. She hadn’t had so much fun in a very long time, laughing, goofing off with the training but being serious about it too. She impressed him with her curious questions on technique, asking advanced things that even he had never thought about.

With both of her friends teaching her one form of weaponry or another she had gotten better at defending herself. Although while on a run once she had been attacked by a monster, not used to carrying a weapon with her at all at that point. It cut a gash in her right hip, a scar which she will still have to this day. After that she took to running with the wooden sword on her back, not leaving the house with out it unless she knew she would be safe.

This boy she found to be someone she could so easily open up to, which was odd, she thought, but it felt very nice. Even he seemed to open up to her. Though many talks and trainings with swords she slowly realized she had a crush on him. A crush was not safe, not at all, especially not when he was in love with someone else. She started to distance herself once again, though still friendly with him. His troubles seemed larger then anything she could handle to help with, and she feared that if she did interfear that her bad luck would curse him. Wanting nothing but the best, she had stepped back from checking on him as often and stayed as just casual friends.

Still closest to Doumeki out of everyone, she hangs out with him and Watanuki the most, or just… hides with them. She has found comfort in simply sitting in the same room as Doumeki, both reading books, not even talking about anything. To curl up with a book by her best friend is one of the few comforts she has left that remind her of home. Her homesickness on missing her parents crops up once in a while, making her withdraw more, but someone is always there to pull her out again. Watanuki, Doumeki, Tanpopo even does his best to keep her happy.

In the latest events on the island a mutual friend of theirs was hurt by a vampire lady. This upset her as well as Doumeki, and one day while chatting, a moment of horrible bitter thoughts cropped up. She thought of a bad plan that she shared with Doumeki, to use a bit of her blood and give I to this woman. The plan between the two friends was done, but not with out great costs. Doumeki was badly hurt in all of the mess that came much later. So badly hurt and changed. Himawari felt a great pit of guilt wash over her for this, offering to watch over Doumeki, but never really keeping perfect eye contact with him. Ashamed and worried that her idea like this had gotten him hurt. If he didn’t need to be so close to the woman he wouldn’t have been hurt.

She tries to watch over him as often as she can, doing what she can to help, and she’s keeping a smile on her face as she tries, but she feels bad. She felt even worse when he disappeared form the island again. Both he and Watanuki left, gone from the island, like the island does from time to time. It had happened twice with Watanuki but never Doumeki. She cried, worried about what happened to him. When he returned though he was much older (21) and… different, as was Watanuki (though not ‘older’). To her Watanuki’s eyes had softened and became calmer, where Doumeki’s had sharpened, grown darker. She was happy to have them back though, even if they were older and she was not.

She will be out running when she feels the pull taking her away from one island to another. Her sword on her back and her routine jog for the day, she will be out running when it takes her, sending her to yet another new place.

Character Personality: Himawari is a cheerful girl with a pleasant attitude which she often cheers her friends on strongly with. She seems to always be smiling, always curious of her friends and what they are doing, and generally a chipper happy young girl. On the outside, to strangers, Himawari seems to have a good and happy life for her to be smiling that well. In reality, her life has been full of bad luck for most everyone around her but a select few. It’s not a curse or anything but simply how she is. Her mother and father as well as Doumeki and her pet bird Tanpopo are so far the only people immune to her bad luck, making for a fairly lonely life. None the less she smiles.

It’s been said that the price to take her bad luck away from her and release her of this burden is far too high and would leave her with no happiness at all. She’s lived her life as a no luck girl, a barer of bad fortune to anyone she connected to, for so long, that she learned to manage and work with it and accept being alone. Smiling is how she faces the world because otherwise it might be too sad and she could never keep on moving. Smiling and being cheerful is the smart thing to do.

When confronted with something dangerous, Himawari isn’t the type to scream and run, nor is she the type to waver or cry or do anything too overly impulsive. Weird things have happened to her through out her life so she’s well adjusted to odd things that might happen. Nothing is overly shocking, though this isn’t to say she can’t be shocked, surprised or scared. She can, but she isn’t the type to run crying from trouble. Danger has to be handled properly or someone could be hurt.

On people she tends to be a bit standoffish and yet… not. To explain, she tries not to make too many connections with people because she doesn’t want those people to be hurt over her bad luck. She talks and is friendly to people, but she tries not to get close. In example to her series, Watanuki clearly has a hard crush on her, and she seems to be obvious to this. In reality she knows he has a crush and finds it flattering, but she refuses to let herself acknowledge this for fear that it might hurt the boy. When one day Watanuki fell from a window after she touched his shoulder, she took the blame in on herself for having given him bad luck. Considering him such a very good and close friend, she spoke to him, after paying a part of the price to keep him alive (scars all across the back of her body) and told him what she was. A simple human who brings bad luck to anyone she makes connections with. She said good bye, still smiling the entire time and planned to leave, so he wouldn’t be harmed again.

She’s very good at sacrificing things she wants or loves so not to hurt others. Prevention, too, is something she is skilled at. As in doing things that will prevent making too big of a connection so as not to hurt others. She tries though, to make friends with others but she tends to keep her distance even then. On occasions, Watanuki has asked to walk Himawari home, just to spend time with her but a majority of the time she always invites Doumeki along with them, claiming that the boys are such good friends and have such a grand ‘comedy act’ but really she worries about something happening to the young man if she's alone with him.

Conditional: Personality development in previous game: At Salkia island she has grown in a bit of confidence, still fighting to keep her smile on her face though, a mask. She met many people who also wear masks to hide their true emotions and feelings, which might be why she tended to get along so well with those people.

Still friendly and caring, she greeted many or offered comments to peoples questions form time to time, but still tried not to get close to people. There were a few however that she did get closer to, having grown in the fact that some people will just accept who she is and she has to accept that.

Character Plans: I’m bringing her in from another game with two others appers and hope they will continue to build a tight friendship over the course of time. I’m looking forward to having her interact with new people and exploring the process of her learning about being able to control her Bad Luck. I’d like to play out her first incident with controlling her bad luck and it brings HER bad luck some time as well. Trial and error kind of thoughts here. I’d love for her to start to get closer to people because of her being able to open up more, only to backfire something, or have them harmed because of her some how. As for a job, I’ve been playing with a few ideas, from as simple as a theater ticket taker and pop corn sweeper to possibly someone getting wind of her Bad Luck talent and conning/poking/prodding/black mailing her into working at the Underground Casino at a card table, passing out tainted bad luck cards and making players lose while they are there. Possibly a waitress.

Appearance/PB: Please look at the icons in her journal for what I will be using for her. I am using mostly manga and anime images of her from the xxxHolic series. There is no need for a PB otherwise.

She has very long dark black curly hair that she either wears in two pig tails or just drawn back in one thick pony tail at her back. When she is pulled from Salkia Island she will be dressed in a simple work out attire, swearing long gray sweat pants with pink and white pin strip down either side, good running shoes and white socks. Her shirt is a simple lose neck turtle neck in light pink with a gray hooded sweater (small pink flowers on the pockets and over the heart) over top. A sword strapped to her back at the time and a small satchel holding a few things hanging over the same shoulder and arm.
