"Kotori, what's your favorite color?" The girl called Emilie asked this question after they continued to walk around the forest aimlessly. While Kotori didn't found Emilie's cheerful voice unpleasant, this sudden question gave her a headache as she tried to recall this information.
Kotori stopped walking for a moment and placed her hand on her right temple, trying to sooth the pain. Indeed, she recalled a color, the only one that came to her mind when thinking about that question, but Kotori couldn't remember its significance to her. It was he same sensation as waking up alone in that forest clearing, but this time it was sharper and more pronounced, so whatever was it that she didn't remember, it probably was a very important thing.
When Kotori's eye met Emilie's again, she said, "I like the color of the fields of goldenrods swaying in breeze, it's nostalgic color like the sound of a loved one's voice calling for you..."
As Kotori finished her statement another person came in on them from the forest, based on Ian's exchange with the new boy, it was most obvious that he was as lost as any of they were. She wondered if he had lost his memories too, or for that matter if the other two that she was walking along could recall anything of their pasts. However she decided against questioning them, generating distrust and confusion would only be good to jeopardize their chances of survival.
The situation looked unnatural. Kotori couldn't help but feel a slight sense of things being wrong, as the wind in the forest whistled by, she felt that they should probably keep on moving. She wasn't sure of why but knew that the forest they were in wasn't a place they should be spending the night.
As the sensation of anxiety grew on her, so did Kotori's left eye began to ache painfully and as she tried to massage it with her left hand she dropped her sketchbook on the ground, the ominous wind turning its pages randomly, until it revealed a drawing that looked awfully familiar to Kotori herself dressed as one of the dolls she liked so much.
"We must not spend the night at this place, I feel like something is observing us even as we speak. I don't know what could happen if we spent the night at in these woods." Kotori said as she picked up sketchbook, still dazzled by that last drawing.
@MelodyNoirActually, it's 5'1.8", it doesn't makes much difference tough as normally anyone would round it to 2", it's just my engineering student mind talking here, anyway...
Well, I'm working on a IC post now, I'm liking the direction things are going in, that question about colors made me think of a nice bit of background to my character I'll PM @Rakurai about it later.
@MelodyNoir Don't few pressured, I have other things to do too, plus@karamonnom said he/she would not be able to post for a day or two we'll probly end up stuck for a little while anyway.
@Drake Baku Ok, you have a point about that it could have been worse, but I bet Runa is enjoying using her power in that way, that's the second time she gives someone a cold water shower.
That looks interesting, the introductions, I mean. But,@Drake Baku the other girls were very mean to my lil Yuriha, just imagine if when you were a kid your parents did that to you.
Powers: Emiri wished for a dear friend's happiness instead of her own, and thus her true strength can only be manifested when fighting for others sake. When Emiri fights for herself she can't display many of her more powerful abilities, but on the other hand the selfishness saves her mana avoiding the rapid increase in soulgem corruption that comes when she's fighting at full power.
Soul Gem Color: Golden
Weapon:
- Able to create illusions, summon and control fantastic beings and various other types of magic, however the power is limited by Emiri's wish.
Personality: Emiri is a kind and caring person with a view of life that's far too pure for the path of life that she has chosen. She had a selfless dedication to her others and will go as far as she can, and then some more, to help those in need, specially her loved ones and fellow magical girls.
She also does have a motherly side to her personality and will try to take any newcomers under her wings until she's sure they can fly for themselves. Emiri sees this as a way to repay her own senpai who did so much for her, even going as far as sacrificing her own life to allow Emiri to escape from a certain death she she was an inexperienced magical girl.
Despite all this facade, the true face of Emiri's interior only shows when she with people that can fend for themselves. When she has nothing to focus her protective nature on, Emiri crumbles into insecurity and self-deprecation, barely being able to fight for her own survival of need arrives.
Bio: Emiri's past is a mystery, ever since she decided to dedicate all of her being to become a hero of justice, Emiri forsake her previous identity, running away from home when her parents began questioning her always more frequent night escapades and decreasing exam scores.
After that she began to live with her magical girl senpai. They shared an apartment, owned by her senpai for almost an year, growing their bond in many different ways. However, Emiri lost the last person that she could trust and love in one night after a mistake she committed almost took her life, only for her senpai swap places with her at the last instant.
From the on Emiri lived alone at her former senpai's apartment, using the large amount of money that she left behind to live her life in total dedication to others. After some time Emiri meet with a pair of other senior magical girls and came to know and trust them.
With the arrival of a new batch of magical girls at the city, Emiri looks forward to finally achieving the results she's been seeking for so long.
