Since Rin is gone, I guess I'll add him in. Name: Megumi Kitabatake Age: 17 Appearance: Megumi is tall for her age, to say the least. Tall and fit and maybe a bit intimidating. Her skin is somewhat pale, contrasting well with her black hair and eyes, and she always seems to have a look of disdain. Her face is angular, with thin lips and a small, rounded nose. Her eyes are narrow and seem to be dark brown or black, and it is no wonder why others are so frightened by her gaze as they are somewhat scary. Normally seen in a plain sailor fuku when out on the town, but when Megumi is home she is forced into kimonos and training gear (on mother's order). Personality: At first glance Megumi appears to be a very intimidating and dangerous person, with her angular eyes and tallness and soft-spoken manner, but if one would get to know her they may realize that Megumi is just an extremely timid and kind girl. Very polite, she will not speak out of turn, follows directions well, and tries her best to please others despite them being frightened by her glares. A hard worker, Megumi loves to help others and does her best to finish the tasks she was given no matter what, which also shows that she is extremely stubborn. Due to living and training in a dojo, Megumi is obviously very strong and knowledgeable in the way of martial arts and kendo, but for some reason is rather uncomfortable around men. This was probably brought on because her mother's dojo is strictly females-only, and having her mom speak so badly about her good for nothing father didn't help much. So if she is around a man she will became much more quiet and stiff, maybe even a bit defensive, but she won't out right attack or run away unless she is given a good enough reason. It is very hard to upset Megumi, but when you do it is obvious. She will gain an aura of malice, refuse to speak, and maybe even resort to violence, ranging from petty slaps to oh-my-god-where-did-she-get-that-sword. Megumi has gotten into pretty vicious fights because of her angry streak, which of course gave her a bad name around the school. And if Megumi is anything else besides all that, it would be kind. She is extremely kind and nice, despite how everyone else treats her, and it shows especially when she is around cute things like animals and children. There was once a rumor in school, something about her taking out three delinquents who were abusing a stray dog, though of course it got warped into something else entirely in the end. The words "Gentle Giant" are probably the best to describe someone like Megumi. Occupation at the Bakery: She's a general hand, much like Kiku she does whatever whenever. History: Born into a family dojo, from a young age Megumi was taught martial arts and kendo. Her father, a good-for-nothing scumbag, left a few days after she was born, and her mother (Kasumi) was obviously upset by the whole ordeal (and eventually began to detest all men, even resorting to turning the dojo into a female-only one). She didn't however, run after the stupid man, and instead took over the dojo and raised Megumi herself. Kasumi was a strict mother and an even stricter teacher, often resorting to yelling or hitting after just a few second of disobedience, but Megumi didn't mind. She knew that if she was in the wrong then she was in the wrong, and with that mindset she grew up quickly into a mature young woman. At the age of twelve she was already helping her mother teach self-defense classes, and became well known around the dojo as "Little Miss". School during that time was simple, and she had plenty of friends, but that quickly changed once she caught some kids bullying a defenseless stray dog. In a sudden fit of anger, she sprung, and eventually the three young boys were all crying and apologizing, covered with bruises from her rough handling. Megumi too was harboring a bloody nose and black eye, but she was too angry to stop and it took two teachers to wrench her away from the other children. That was when the rumors started. Rumors turning from "protecting a dog" to "just for fun" and so on, and Megumi's social life plummeted. Friends left, people pulled from the dojo, and her mother had trouble believing that she started a fight over some ratty dog. She became much more quiet, timid, and remained that way all through junior high to high school. Megumi eventually became known as a delinquent around school, and rumors flew like paper airplanes, but she had managed to build up a tolerance against the scared stares and murmurs whenever she walked into a room. She was better, but her mother's dojo wasn't doing so well. They barely got any students, and funds were falling. Megumi felt herself responsible, so after a while of thinking she decided to go out and find a job to help out, eventually coming to a rather quaint bakery looking for workers. She applied in a heart beat.
