[Saku-nee]

Introduction

Give a two or three word description of yourself. I'm a girl, one that doesn't need your help.

Do you have any nicknames, street names, titles, or nom de plume? Mura

What is your full birth name? Echi Haimura, Yorimi

Where do you live? In some little dorm in Claremont

Why do you live there? It's a school, I'm a kid, and Kou told me it's where I could be free.

What do you perceive as your greatest strength? I think my strength is obviously my greatest strength. Because of it, I don't have to worry about other people in my way.

What do you perceive as your greatest weakness? My emotions, most likely.... I can be... a bit tempermental at times.

Physical Traits

How old are you? I'm 15, though I suppose to an American that would be 14.

What is your sex? I'm a girl...

What is your race? I'm Japanese.

How tall are you? 162 Centimeters

How much do you weigh? 55 Kilograms

What is your general body type, frame, bone structure, and poise? I can't really tell you, people say I'm slender... and I have good poise, but beyond that, I don't know.

What is your skin colour? I'd assume my skin is the same color as every other pure blooded Japanese.

What is your hair colour? Black... I'm Japanese.

What is your hair style? I keep it long, it's most comfortable like that.

Do you have any facial hair? I hope not...

What is your eye colour? Apparently it's purple.

How attractive are you? Fairly, my parents wouldn't have it any other way.

What is your most distinguishing feature? Likely my eyes, purple isn't a common color.

Do you have any scars, tattoos, or birthmarks? I really couldn't, and wouldn't tell you.

What is your handedness (left/right/ambidextrous)? I'm right handed.

Do you resemble some currently known person? I couldn't tell you.

What kind of clothing do you wear? I tend to wear skirts and dresses. It's just more comfortable that way.

Do you wear makeup? I try not to.

What sort of vocal tone do you have? What's that supposed to mean? I guess it's kind?

History

Where is your homeland? Japan; Nara.

Are you aware of its history? Well... yeah.

Are you patriotic or a social outcast? I believe in Japan as it is. That makes me both.

What are your opinion of home? It's the best country in the world.

Where is your home town? Nara

Are your real reasons for becoming an adventurer different from what you tell others? Of course, but I'm not going to tell you either.

How far would you go to keep such secrets from being revealed? What would you do if the truth became known? I'll take my steps one at a time... If something happened and my secrets were let out, I guess I'd have a reason to call up my father.

What do you fear would occur if the truth became known? My parents would freak out and get even more protective than they already are.

Do you have any particularly high or low ability scores? Like on some sort of test?

How have these scores affected your life so far? I'm not that great at school...

What about your race, growing up were you in the majority or a minority? I'm Japanese... from Japan... figure it out yourself.

Did this impact your outlook in any way? I doubt it?

How do you feel about other races? I don't think you quite realize why Race doesn't matter to me.

Were there any traumatic experiences in your early years (death of a family member, abandonment, orphaned at an early age)? I'd say there was at least one minor disappointment in my life.

Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life. When I was told I could fade from view, my life changed.

What stupid things did you do when you were younger? I don't do stupid things.

Which toys from your childhood have you kept? Only one, a stuffed rabbit my grandfather had for me before I was even born.

Why? What do they mean to you? If you didn't keep any, why not? What did you do to them all? It's just soft and furry, and Usagi are cute.

Do you have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt you? I'd guess so.

Are you who you claim to be? I don't need fake names or masks.

Do you have any sort of criminal record? Not that I know of.

How do you view the heroes/legends of your country? Legends are stuff of stories, I've read them all.

Family

Who were your parents? Mom and Dad seems a bit arrogant, but that's all I really know. My parents are disgustingly rich.

Were you raised by them? If not, then why didn't they and who did raise you? I suppose I was, I also had a lot of other people raising me. Teachers, maids, Kou... Hell, maybe even that American kid I played with a bit would count.

What was their standing in the community? They stood above the others mostly. You don't get that kind of money being nice all the time.

Did your family stay in one area or move around a lot? We stayed in Nara.

How did you get along with their parents? Fairly well? I did all they asked and I got spending money, not too hard.

How would your parents describe you? Answer this in the voice of your mother, then in your father's. An angel, a defenseless little girl.

Do you have any siblings? If so how many and what were their names? How did you get along with each of your siblings? I'm an only child.

What was your birth position in the family? 1st

List all current knowledge of family locations, spouses, children, birth dates, schooling, and any important incidents that only you and they might remember. I don't really know much about any of that, I've been sheltered.

Do you stay in touch with them or have you become estranged? Staying in touch is vital to my finances.

Do you love or hate one member of the family in particular? Not really? I suppose I love my parents, but that's normal.

Is any member of the family special to you in any way (perhaps, as a confidant, mentor, or arch-rival)? Kou isn't family, but he's my confident.

Are there any black (or white) sheep in the family (including you)? I'm likely the black sheep, not much I can do about it.

If so, who are they and how did they "gain" the position? I'm blind, and helpless to them.

Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? Not really...

If so, what did this person do to become famous or infamous? They didn't

Do you try to live up to the reputation of your ancestor, try to live it down, or ignore it? Ignore it.

Do you ever want to have a family of your own someday? I'm a bit young for that question...

Would anything change your mind on this issue and if so, what? Maybe some experience would.

What type of person would be your ideal mate? ...That's... none of your business.

Relationships

Do you have any close friends? If so, who and what are they like? Just Kou... and Warren I guess.Kou's a bit of a know it all, but I love him. Warren is a bit pathetic, too kind for his own good.

What is the history of their relationship(s) with you? It's been good so far.

Do you currently have a best friend whom you would protect with your reputation or your life? Kou and Warren, I feel the need to protect them... for helping me live my life.

If so, who are they and what caused you to feel so close to them? What would have to happen for you to end this relationship? They're true friends... They'd have to end it, not me.

Do you have any bitter enemies? I don't know... but this Ionica girl is getting on my nerves.

If so, who are they, what are they like, and what is the history of their feud with you? She doesn't talk right.

Have you defeated them before? We haven't fought... yet.

How might these enemies seek to discomfit you in the future?

Which person(s) or group(s) are you most loyal to? Kou, Warren is a sidenote to it... but Kou is the one I'm most loyal to.

Who is your most trusted ally? Warren, at least he can take a punch.

Who do you trust, in general? Kou and Warren.

Who do you despise and why? I don't hate anyone.

Name seven things you hate in others. Pity, arrogance, loud voices, close talkers, greed, ignorance, and people with loud music.

Is your image consistent? I guess so.

Do you deliberately present yourself differently in different situations, and how? I have to be different around my parents.

What would you die for? That's... a bit much for me.

What is the worst thing someone has done to you? Treat me like I'm disabled.

What is your general reaction to an attractive member of the opposite sex who lets you know they are available? I punch them? I can't tell how they look and wooing me earns them pain.
