Though that may be, she lived her life happily, grateful to her parents for giving birth to her instead of being distant towards them. She's one of the shrine maidens and does her job properly, enjoying it as she does so. When she grew some more, she became interested in bows and arrows. Eventually, she joined a club in her school that is involved in it and has trained herself to become a good shooter. When contests were held, Airi was always present, ready to shoot with her own bow. Though not the best, she is pretty good at it, enough to get her some medals and a trophy. In school, her grades are average. She doesn't really put to much effort in studying as she immerses herself with her sport, but she handles both just fine.

Weight

Shrine
Hikahi Shrine of Hinohara
History
Nikko, since childhood, never managed to stay under the sun for too long. Being an albino, his skin has low tolerance towards the sun, making him prone to sunburn and skin cancer. He's always inside his house and watches the scenery outside his window when he's just at home and has nothing to do. Even with his albinism, he can still go to plenty of places, but he would have to make sure he has less contact with the sunlight. He goes to school, stores, and malls when he feels like it, but he limits himself since he doesn't want to strain his body.

Because he can't stay outside for too long, he learned how to use a computer and there he went to interact with people. From then on, he always online to talk with his internet friends. One of his friends, which he thinks is his best friend, is Yoshimi Kawakami. He always chatted with her and would always learn fun things from her like the times when she goes to karaoke, when she went shopping at the mall, stuff like that. Even if he can't experience what she's telling him, he tries to imagine them with the best of his abilities and is satisfied with just that.

Personality
Nikko is a calm and kind person. His dream is to be able to go anywhere without any worries, but he knows his limits. He always liked looking at stories, images and videos about different places in the world and can be satisfied with just that. Because of him being a very curious person, he learned plenty of things and can be considered as diligent as he excels in school as well.

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 117 lbs.

Shrine: Okutama, the Sakkaku shrine

Personality:

Yoshimi is a very kind, intelligent, gentle and cheerful girl. She has plenty of friends in her current school. Though a portion of them just take advantage of her kindness(they ask her to do their homework for them, though that's mostly the boys). She's a rather social person and usually hangs out with her friends when their classes are over, usually going to the mall, to the park, to a fast food restaurant or, at occasion, to karaoke bars. She likes to sing and has quite the talent.

History:

Yoshimi's clan resides in the shrine located in Osaka. She had a rather normal childhood. She was, and still is, a shrine maiden in their manor. She took a liking to spears when she read a picture story about her clan and how they used spears to fight off monsters. She was amazed at how they handled those weapons with so much grace and dexterity. She decided that she wanted to be like them so she tried to make a makeshift spear made entirely out of wood. She trains with it everyday and is quite skilled with it. She has a best friend that she met through the internet, Tsukiakari Nikko. She's in pretty good terms with Nikko, she usually tells him all about her daily activities when she hangs out with her friends, like her times in the karaoke bar.

Name: Harashi Hanazawa

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 155 lbs

Shrine: Machida's Kurushimu shrine

History:

Harashi was born in a well-to-do family. Even though they were doing quite well they still had some struggles with money. This led to Harashi's dream to finish his studies and be employed in a high-paying company. He always read books, and this habit of him made him quite intelligent. But sadly not all dreams come true. One night a thief broke into their house. He stole almost everything that they had. That night Harashi was sound asleep. But he was awoken by the sound of a scream. He ran out of his room and, to his horror, saw that his father was lying on the floor, still breathing. He was stabbed by the burglar. He had a knife sticking out of his back. Harashi approached him, tears in his eyes. His father, with his dying breath, told him to run with his mom who was still in his parents' room. Harashi did as he said and ran to his parents' room, still crying. But it was too late. His mother had also been killed by the crook. She was stabbed multiple times and died by bleeding out. The thief was still in the room and saw Harashi. He ran to the kid and tried to stab him but he had luckily evaded. He ran to his room, going past the trespasser, to get his baseball bat. He successfully got it and immediately tried to swing it at the thief's head. It hit him and knocked him unconscious, his head bleeding. He dropped the bat, his tears falling even harder. He blacked out. The moment he woke up he was next to the burglar, or should we say the corpse of the burglar. Harashi had killed the thief when he blacked out. There were multiple stab wounds on the invader's body. Harashi fell silent and laid down on the floor, then started crying again.

After that incident Harashi started to live with his grandparents who resided in a shrine. They treated him well. But ever since that happened he became lazy, he was unenthusiastic about everything. He comments about how every single chore he has to do is a pain. His grandparents don't mind since they know what happened that night. He lost his parents. It's only natural for someone to have a sudden change in behavior. But his liking for books is still there, he always reads books when he's bored or when he has finished his chores like in the past.

Personality:

Harashi is a lazy, non-energetic person. He likes relaxing, sleeping and just idling around. He dislikes chores and pretty much any kind of physical activity, saying "This is such a pain" to most activities. Has an affinity for books.

Others:

His parents died when he was 8 years old. He lives with his grandparents.
