Name: Hoshi
Age: 15
Gender/Pronouns: She|Her
Sexual/Romantic Orientation: Unsure
Species: Human
Appearance:Personality: As a child Hoshi was known for her energetic and rambunctious disposition. She could never sit still. This much has, mostly, persisted into her teenage years. Hoshi is generally a lively and exhuberant figure around the town. She possesses an adventerous impulse and an unbound curiosity that spurs her on to venturing into any and every unknown, unexplored corner of her environment; she still searches for remote spots on Destiny Islands, even at her own risk when making her way through thick patches of jungle brush, hazardous rock formations, and rough waters. But to say that she is unfocused or scatterbrained wouldn't be entirely accurate; she is determined and goal-oriented, even as she seems to move rapidly from one task or adventure to the next.
Role(Optional): Female Riku?
World Origin: Destiny Islands
Abilities:- Combat. The seeming common thread among the youth of Destiny Islands their dedication to sparing and play fighting with wooden weapons and other non-lethal arms. Hoshi is no diffetent from her peers in this regard. She spent her early youth rough housing with her friends while watching and sometimes joining an elder sibling in the duels and skirmishes. She is most proficient with a bo staff, but is competent in swordplay; she's good to throw a punch if she needs to as well.
- Speedy. Hoshi is pretty quick on her feet, and is balanced therein. She's outrun the boys on the island at times when they've had foot races.
- Exploration & Navigation. Hoshi is adept in her ability to go out spelunking, hiking, and negotiating terrain. She is notably one of the best at doing the obstacle course in the cove on the small island.
Weaknesses:- Defense. Hoshi has chosen to focus on her speed, agility, and quick thinking to outmaneuver in battle. While she rarely has to take a hit, when something does connect, it does a good deal of hurt.
- Brashness. Moving fast comes with its detriments, and making brash, snap decisions is one of them. Hoshi prone to ignoring conventional planning in favor of trying first and asking questions later.
Keyblade: - Star Cluster. A variation on the Kingdom Key, being darker in color and featuring a motif of five-point stars upon the handguard and blade. Its primarily benefits are in its offensive and arcane properties, endowing the wielder with envigorated strength and heightened magical power.
Alignment: Neutral
Backstory: In her youth, Hoshi was known more widely around Islands through her brother, Kitsu ("Tsu"). Being seven years younger, Hoshi looked up to Tsu as more of a third [cool] parent. She would follow her elder brother around in a way like a puppy would follow its human, constantly at his heels; in turn, Tsu was frequently tasked with looking after her when neither their mother or father could. This meant many walks to and from school, the marketplace, and other destinations. She would also insist, much to Tsu's chagrin, on accompanying him to the small island where kids often ventured out to spend their liesure time. She was quick to tag along in Tsu's adventures with his friends, and joining in on their sparing matches, even though she was like to get left behind or completely outmatched. The worst was always when Tsu snapped at her to go play with the other "little kids."
If there were ever any doubts whether or not Tsu cared about her sister, these would be put to rest in one instance when Hoshi was nine years old. She had ventured out to the small island looking for Tsu, who had gotten off ahead of her. When she arrived and started looking for him, she was confronted by three of Tsu's friends. They had grown annoyed at her constant presence, believing that she was keeping Tsu away from them and getting in the way of their plans and schemes. Under the guise of "testing" her, the trio took their sparing weapons to an unarmed Hoshi. Fleeing, she was cornered on near the Paupu tree, with the drop down into the water behind her.
Just as she prepared to leap into the sea, Tsu arrived and stood between her and his friends. "If you're gonna have a go at someone, have a go at me!" he had told them. What transpired was a three-on-one that Tsu handled with efficiency. Tsu's friends fled and the two spent the remainder of the day by the tree recovering from the incident.
The pair only became closer from that day. Hoshi fell more under Tsu's wing learning better defend herself should his old gang ever stir up trouble again; with extra attentention and practice, Hoshi became more capable. With time she was even able to best her brother from time to time.
Two years later, tragedy struck.
Tsu had gone out in his boat on a fishing venture. A fream storm developed just off of the islands while he was out. In the wake of the storm, Tsu's boat drifted ashore, but Tsu wasn't in it. A search party was formed to find him (or rather, find his body, a detail that Hoshi was left unaware of). But after several days of combing the ocean near the islands, nothing was found. Tsu was, publicly, declared lost at sea. For her part, Hoshi held to the hope that Tsu was still alive, perhaps washing ashore on some distant island elsewhere in the ocean.
Since that day, Hoshi has maintained the physical memory of Kitsu in any way she can. She began taking his old boat to the small island shortly after he was declared missing. Though she has long preferred the use of a bo staff while sparing with friends, she often takes up Tsu's old wooden sword to practice that as well. All the while, she maintains the core belief that Tsu remains alive, and hopes to leave the island to find him someday.
Other:- Alias. Perhaps understated in the shadow Kitsu, Alias has been Hoshi's best friend from an early age. Tsu had always had a fondness for and interest in the boy, ever since he drifted ashore. The fondnesd and interest were reciprocated, and Alias became something of a third sibling, and took a few good hits from Tsu's friends in Hoshi's defense prior to Tsu's intervention. Hoshi's precise feelings for Alias are complicated, and tend to fluctuate as she tries to maintain a sensible sibling-like relation with him. She's only grown closer to Alias since Tsu's dissappearance, the incident having been, albeit sad, source of bonding for the two. They've since put their heads together to find their way off the islands, with Alias fueling Hoshi's belief that Tsu remains alive on another World.
