[hider=Hikari Mei] [indent][indent] Name:: Hikari Mei Age:: Twenty three Race:: Human Personality:: Hikari is a rather calm woman, she doesn’t seem too let her impairment stifle her personality. A strong willed woman, clever at that. Something she would learn from her grandmother. She had been rather smart actually, keeping bells at her feet, that seem too announce her arrival anywhere. She uses it as a sort of echo location, and because of this she rarely trips, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t trip because it doesn’t help her much in large crowds. Despite this, this doesn’t stop the girl from trying too adventure just the tiniest bit when she has free time, which is rarely. A lot of her activities would typically be done by the entire family, so she is often consumed by cleaning the area. The blind girl mainly likes too adventure because she still is curious too what had happened too her family. No doubt in her mind that they had been dead, but how, and why? Hikari is over all a kind woman, however in crowds she seems almost shy, maybe even distracted most of the time. Crowds tend too put her more on edge, she has too focus harder, often she can’t focus on the conversation at hand, so her responses tend too be slower, or even make her seem disinterested. Often making her seem rude, but honestly she’s just trying too do her best too ‘observe’ her surroundings. When it is Hikari with a couple people, or a nicely sized group she is completely different, rather too the point of things, unless it’s too explain something or correct a person. Hikari isn’t really afraid too ask questions either, or speak out of turn if she feels the need too. This is simply the power of curiosity from the blind woman, after all there isn’t much for her too learn in her isolation, she has learned everything she believes she needed too, but her sense of duty simply keeps her tied too her temple. The woman’s favorite trait of her own, is her own intuition. Perhaps, that was were all the energy went when she was being created, that was why her eyes lacked the ability too see. Her family would turn too her sometimes, when she was [i]younger[/i] because of this. History:: Hikari had been born at a small temple, that housed her family, they were simple temple guardians, her family. Their temple had only been an hours journey from the closest village, where most of the villagers knew of the family. Hikari was the last too be born of the family, and not much know what happened too the family, and Hikari herself doesn’t speak of it. Simply, one day when she was thirteen, they simply stopped existing. Honestly, the woman has no memory of what happened too her entire family, and for the first three years it happened, she went mad. Simply because Hikari herself is blind, she hadn’t heard anything different that night, her ears were her eyes, her bells helped her find people, and there had been no one. Alone, the young girl shouldered the responsibility of taking care of the temple, the best she could. At first it was a struggle for Hikari, she had known where everything had been, and in her m ind she would see what needed too be done. If she sneezed, it was too dusty. If the air smelled dry the windows needed open, the hardest part had been traveling too the village. She never felt quiet welcomed by the villagers after she nearly drove herself into madness. She believed some of them had blamed her, a murderess. That being stated, didn’t mean she had been alone. An elderly man, and an old time friend of her family would look out too her. Akio had been the elderly man’s named, and he had been the only reason why she memorized the route towards the village; after all she still had her family’s treasure. Mostly, she is left alone, the blind Hikari, as the years passed some people seemed to forgive her, perhaps they simply felt bad because she had been alone, however Akio would not seem too stop asking her too move into the village. He had a point, but how could one so defenseless try too live in a world so cruel, and alone at that. For respect of her family, and for her he would always ask her, and she would always state the truth bluntly, she’ll die either way, it’s hurt duty too keep the temple nice; she does a good job at it as well despite her impairment. [hider=The Mei Family Secrets ] A dark curse lay on the Mei family, that the Blind woman has no idea about. A curse that is too be told once a member of the family hits fifteen, and once the member of the family takes the curse. Many, many, years ago, the Mei family had been powerful demon hunters, known through out almost every kingdom. If you had a demon problem, you called the Mei’s. The town in which the Mei’s lived in, had no demon activity, even the Lady of the land had given the town too the demon hunters, it would be easier giving it too them then letting them take it when they felt like it. It was like that for many years, and peace resided with the Mei hunters, until the ruler died and his son, hungry for glory would take his rightful place, he would immediately search and find his path too destiny, and the path of his family’s destruction. Tsukikona Mei, Hikari’s grandmother had been just a young girl when this would happen. The ruler Katsuki, or Kat he had found a powerful demon, a peaceful demon that some revered as a god and he would move too form an all out attack on the beast. Tsukikona’s father had been a wise man, and alive longer than the new ruler too know that this would not end well for the family, and would create almost a civil war within the Mei clan, this would be the first steps too the down fall of the great hunters. Only ten, including Tsukikona would side with her father, and they would leave their family. The Mei clan had in fact, defeated the great peaceful one, however it came with a price. Their auras had changed that day, everyone over the age of fifteen. An aura that attracts demons, many of her family would have been oblivious too this, but Tsukikona’s father, a wise demon hunter would know the ways of the demons, would know that a great being like that wouldn’t just die, and be dead. He studied, and only when he got word that the sector of the Mei clan that left, had been the only ones alive. Those who pursued the route of a demon hunters, died that way. Most hunters use surprise too gain the upper hand against a demon, with this news her father would only assume that following this route would cause them their own death. With this news he would flee with his small sector, arriving at a small village, and setting up a temple only an hour away from it. The temple would be too the slain demon, perhaps if they would worship it as a god the curse would lift. And the curse would not lift, no [/hider] [h2] The Night Of The Disappearance [/h2] [b]Will be added when i figure out all the characters XD; [/b] [/indent][/indent] [/hider]
