[hr][hr][h3][color=4943BA]Style[/color][/h3]
[indent]Pens/quills in his pockets and notepad in hand,
Asahi-san is rather untidily dressed, but through work ethic rather than sloppiness. He really does brush his hair and settle his robe neatly, but by halfway through the day he looks ruffled again after chasing down rumours all over school. He's otherwise handsome, and the only time he doesn't have a smile on his face is when he's dealing with ignorant kohais who thought the newspaper club was an easy extracurricular. 
Usually, at some point during the day, he starts wearing his robe over his shoulders or putting it on chairs. [/indent] 

[color=4943BA][b]Background:[/b][/color]
[indent]Born in the quiet Hyogō town of Himeji, Asahi-san spent much of his childhood on the streets just outside Himeji proper, though he loved the busyness of town and especially loved visiting the Castle and wandering the parks and grounds nearby. Unlike most children, he never really grew out of his "why" phase, instead adding "how", "where", "what", "when" and "who" to his lexicon almost before he was allowed outside by himself. His parents, a nijū father and a witch mother, fed his curiosity with lessons and stories, both those of Japan and the ones beyond.

His first encounter of a magical nature was encountering the fabled ghost of Himeji Castle; Okiku of the well. He saw the servant woman's ghost wandering the grounds near her well, but soon learned that she wasn't the feared creature from the stories after being laid to rest. Her story inspired him to be, at first, a policeman to give everyone justice, but later on he changed his mind to becoming a journalist. All the better to share the stories of those who are silenced.[/indent]

[color=4943BA][b]Electives:[/b][/color]
[indent][list]
[*]Calligraphy 
[*]Talisman Craft[/list] 
[/indent]

[color=4943BA][b]Favorite Class:[/b][/color]
[indent]Calligraphy. Asahi-san finds concentrating on the form and shape of the symbols relaxing. [/indent]

[color=4943BA][b]Least Favorite Class:[/b][/color]
[indent]Transfiguration. While turning someone into an animal sounded cool as a kid, he's realised that it's actually a gross denial of bodily autonomy. [/indent]

[color=4943BA][b]Extracurriculars:[/b][/color]
[indent]One of the most passionate members of the newspaper Club! Henshūsha-san, as he's known, isn't actually the official editor of the Mahoutokoro Report, but he is well-known for helping others with their stories and writing. He's top choice to take over when the current seventh-year graduates. For now,
he's concentrating on being Quidditch and Clubs correspondent, tipping off other club members if he finds a story. [/indent]

[color=4943BA][b]Wand:[/b][/color]
[indent]30cm (11½ inches) long, hinoki cypress wood, aosagibi-feather core. Inherited a [I]kagi[/I] from his mother's side of the family, which he uses to hook the wand onto his belt, making his wand resemble a jitte somewhat.[/indent]

[color=4943BA][b]Pet:[/b][/color]
[indent]Asahi-san refers to the new Newspaper Club kohais as his 'pets' (misunderstanding "pet project"), but personally doesn't have any animals.[/indent]

[hr][hr][h3][color=4943BA]EXTRAS[/color][/h3]

[color=4943BA][b]Patronus:[/b][/color]
[indent]Dragon, although he hasn't been able to cast the spell,
so doesn't know this. [/indent]

[color=4943BA][b]Miscellaneous:[/b][/color]
[indent]Private tutoring has given Asahi-san a great grip on English, and he sometimes imitates J Jonah Jameson when in the newsroom. A particularly well-done impersonation when he was younger earned him the nickname of Henshūsha-san from his senpais in the Newspaper Club.

Sometimes he knocks kohais on the head with his wand, using it like the jitte it resembles. The faint white glow usually disappears from their hair by evening.

Is rather talented with the use of [I]accio[/I] and its counterpart, [I]depulso[/I], to the point where his dorm mates and fellow club members duck reflexively if he pulls out his wand.[/indent]
