[b][color=#AC9BB5]Name:[/color][/b] Kousaka Hikaru
[b][color=#AC9BB5]Age:[/color][/b] 13
[b][color=#AC9BB5]Gender:[/color][/b] Female
[b][color=#AC9BB5]Personality:[/color][/b] 
[indent]At her core Hikaru is insecure and unsettled with her own identity. Being one of the middle children of her family has set her into a path obscurity. Not young enough to be doted on, and not old enough to be given responsibility, she has settled into her role as the invisible child within her home. She comes, she goes, but none of it truly matters. Though many would think this would instill within her a sense of freedom, it's given her quite the opposite. She's caged within her own sense of inferiority, which causes her to work all the harder at seeking attention (and approval, although she would never admit that).  

Hikaru is a very mischievous child and adores playing pranks on those around her. She can be ruthless at times and take her joking too far, and is somewhat unapologetic about it unless you nag her for a true apology. She's above average in her academics, which is a surprise to many who find out what her test scores are – additionally, she's equally above average in athletics as well. She never shines, she just gets by, which probably has fueled her prankster nature. It's almost as if she's saying “Give me attention, now!” And it usually doesn't matter to her if the attention she receives is good or bad.

Handling anger or sadness for her usually involves exercising or beating something up just to get rid of her pent up emotions. She will rarely talk about her true feelings with others, most likely due to her parental negligence. She's been known to lash out angrily at anyone who messes with her during these times, so it's probably for the best to just stay out of her way.[/indent]

[b][color=#AC9BB5]History:[/color][/b] 
[indent]She is the middle child of six, with three younger and two older siblings. Her younger sibling, Asagi, was born premature just before Hikaru could celebrate her first birthday. Due to the needs of a premature infant, Hikaru was pushed off to her eldest sister, Michiru, for her to take care of so that their parents could focus solely on Asagi's well-being. Because of the close proximity of their birthdays, Hikaru and Asagi would celebrate them at the same time – with Asagi usually getting the better gifts to compensate for her poor health. Eventually, their birthday cakes began to read “Happy Birthday Asagi”, with no mention of Hikaru. Her parents would explain it was so Asagi would feel more special, and that Hikaru could go enjoy other things that Asagi couldn't.

As you can imagine, Hikaru doesn't like Asagi very much. 

All other aspects of her life have been normal, borderline mundane. Because of this she has turned to delinquency, provoking reactions out of authority figures on a daily basis is something she gets a kick out of.[/indent]

[b][color=#AC9BB5]Magical Power:[/color][/b] [b][i]Shining Shadow Summon![/i][/b]

[list]
[*][i][color=#AC9BB5]Transformed:[/color][/i] In her transformed state, Hikaru can manipulate her own shadow as well as nearby shadows. From these shadows she can create [i]shadow summons[/i], creatures that can fight for her. Depending on the size of the shadow, she can even summon more goliath creatures. When these shadow summons “die”, Hikaru can either remake them or meld them together to make something more powerful. Along with shadow summons, she can phase into the shadows and travel rather fast within. Her range of mobility during these times is limited to shadows, or her summons.
