Heiseina: Memories Long Forgotten

No relation

_______________________________________________ // INFO P E R S O N A L D E T A I L S Full Name - 林純恋 (Hayashi Sumiko) Age - 23 Gender - Female Occupation - Traveling Artist - // PERSONALITY P E R S O N A L I T Y Passionate More than anything, Sumiko is able to pour her entire heart into things she cares about, be they projects or people. From her passion stems both diligence and confidence, as she works hard for results. Her passion is quite obvious when one views her work, and the individuals who have felt her helping hand directed at them say the encouragement can be intense. Pushy Sumiko really likes getting what she wants. Doesn't everyone? But at times she can be a bit forceful in pushing her ideas onto others. She even pushes herself to keep going at something futile, her perfectionist streak showing through. She does have a sense of pride that can prevent her from backing down as well. Free Spirit Since her "liberation" Sumiko has greatly enjoyed doing whatever she likes, whenever she likes. She keeps her options open, as being tied down to one place or idea doesn't suit her at all. Like anyone else she has her rough days, her arguments with others, but ultimately she tries to let everything slide off of her back. Forgive, live and let live. // SKILLSET S K I L L S E T Rhythm and Balance A self-proclaimed expert in traditional dance and hopping back and forth on stage, Sumiko has a very good sense of balance. She has a strong core and her coordination is top notch. She's dexterous and rarely fumbles anything, whether she uses her hands or her feet. Physical Artist Though performance is her greatest love, Sumiko is excellent at working with her hands. Her calligraphy is steady and smooth, her paintings and drawings are detailed and life-like, her pottery comes out even and clean, and of course she can read and write quickly. If you need something written or made for you, Sumiko is your girl - but she can be a perfectionist so it might be a bit of a wait. Persuasive Sumiko has a knack for roping others into doing what she wants. This isn't always aggressive badgering - in fact being a poet Sumiko can be quite cool with her words, and being an actor she can make anything sound like the truth. She doesn't go around lying to people though, that would be uncouth! Tt's just that she can be quite convincing. With some people after a conversation with her they end up running an errand and thinking it was their idea in the first place.

Physical Description Sumiko always stands out in the village due to her taste in clothing: elaborate and stylish. Of course the frames she wears over her eyes are no exception. Even if she didn't dress like that, her shockingly pale hair would make sure that one can always pick her out of a crowd. Her physical appearance is rather plain; her eyes are dull, she isn't the most busty or shapely of women nor is she that tall or short... but she does love to paint herself in varying degrees of make-up. This has the side effect of making her seem more attractive, but the enjoyment of making an art piece of her skin is why she does it in the first place. Although she tries to keep clean its very common to find her with ink stains on her hands, arms, and even her face. Character Conceptualization Painting! Poetry! Pottery! Dance! Drawing! Acting! Storytelling! ...stilling working on the music! Even small towns need entertainment, and Sumiko takes it upon herself to provide that. She's a "jack of all trades" type when it comes to the arts, with the notable exception of song and instrument. Please don't call her tone deaf though, she will vehemently deny it. She was born in Heiseina, her family the last of the dying Hayashi clan. Hers was an old family, once well respected in the valley, so it came as a shock when each passing year saw their prosperity dwindle. No one really knows what happened to the Hayashi family, though some claim that the family's head offended a spirit so badly that it cursed his line for generations. It would explain the sons' early deaths, the daughters' lack of vitality that presented itself through pallid skin and colorless features. Some subsequent family heads were obsessed with turning their luck around. Sumiko's father was one such person, but he died desperate for a son to carry on his name and ended up with two daughters. The clan's fate was sealed. His passing was a sad thing, but for his wife and children it was also a freeing experience. There was a certain liberation in knowing they didn't have to toil on behalf of a doomed family name any longer. Sumiko left Heiseina when she was barely old enough to travel on her own, exploring the valley they lived in and the small hamlets that surrounded it. She met many people and heard many stories - in order to commit them to memory she wrote them down. To keep herself occupied during trips she would doodle pictures to go with her writing. It didn't take long for her to fall in love with art. For her freedom came in the form of a song on the wind, or a brushstroke on canvas. Now, Sumiko is Heiseina's resident artist extraordinaire (self-proclaimed). She's also a decent source of news and gossip, bringing stories and paintings with her all over the valley. She travels very often, taking advantage of not being tied down to one place. When she returns to Heiseina she stays at her family home and mooches off of her more responsible and respectable elder sister. Their mother passed years ago, leaving the large, empty estate to the both of them. She always makes it back in time for festivals, where she insists that she put on the newest play she's written, play a role in local re-tellings of myths and legends, and participates in dance until she can barely move. Though she has a strong passion for all kinds of art, dance and Kabuki are one of her her favorite pastimes, so when she can she goes all out. Lately, life in the valley has been slower than normal. There haven't been as many interesting stories to create art about, so Sumiko has been going out a lot more and pestering others in search of something to spark her creativity. Other Information She likes to drink, but can't hold her liquor The only Sign she knows is Wind Her eyesight has started to get worse

Hayashi Takara

_______________________________________________ // INFO P E R S O N A L D E T A I L S Full Name - Hayashi Takara Age - Eighteen Gender - Female Occupation - Stablehand - // PERSONALITY P E R S O N A L I T Y Bit Of A Boaster Takara likes to brag and boast about her victories. Like, a lot. It's honestly unhealthy how much she does brag. So, if there is a number one spot open to be claimed, you better make certain you beat Takara to the punch. If she happens to win instead—well, don't ever expect her to shut up about it. Gotta Go Fast Takara moves at a break-neck pace practically nonstop. She is always restless, and can't sit still for long. It's probably why Takara loves to race other people; she needs her fix of speed or else she'll go stir-crazy. Just Gimme The Whole Menu Shoveling hefty piles of hay on top of being a hyper, energetic weirdo often leaves Takara hungry to the point some might say that she is a glutton. Takara always appears to be mowing down food as if her stomach is a bottomless pit. Don't be surprised if she starts eyeballing your food asks you if you're plan on eating it. // SKILLSET S K I L L S E T Animal Husbandry Being in charge of the inn's stable takes a particular skill. It requires you to be dutiful in taking care of various animals that come through town, whether it be one's trusty horse or a group of strong, wagon-pulling oxen. As a result, Takara knows the ins and outs of raising and caring for animals, with a primary focus on those that would be classified as "domestic". Heiseinan Cowgirl Takara is someone who could be considered "born in the saddle". Give her a steed, and she can do anything. With or without a saddle. Canter or a full-on sprint. Broken-in or wild and free. It doesn't matter what. She is simply unstoppable with the reins in her hands. General Upkeep Given that her family runs the village inn, sometimes it requires Takara to help around the place during busy hours. Simple things like cooking, cleaning, etc. are easy enough tasks for her to handle. Not that she actually enjoys doing them, though.

Physical Description Standing at 5'4'', Hayashi Takara is picturesque of a country bumpkin. Whilst her body appears lean, she does have clearly defined muscle, having been acquired through years of physical labor and horseback riding. Her auburn hair is always cut in a messy bob, mostly in part due to Takara's impatience in cutting her own hair if it bothers her in any way. She does happen to have a minor case of facial blemishes across both of her cheeks, but Takara couldn't care less about trying to hide them with creams, powder, or other such make-up. Attire-wise, Takara tends to prefer simpler, peasantry-esque clothing that doesn't require much effort to wear. Being a stable hand is dirty, rough work, after all, and fancy kimonos and the like would just get in the way. Despite this preference, however, Takara is more often than not seen in a pair of her racing leathers opposed to anything else. Purposefully dyed her favorite color, the outfit is well-suited for rugged work or adventure, allowing Takara ample protection from the elements or any other hazard out there. Typically, the attached hood is already slung over her head, with Takara using the inlaid set of goggles to cover her eyes from strong gusts of wind while out riding. Character Conceptualization Eighteen years ago, Takara had been born to Hayashi Benjiro and Yua. Together, they had named their newborn daughter Takara; their "treasure" or "jewel". For the Hayashis, life had been simple and kind to them. With her parents running the local village inn, Takara was allotted a modest lifestyle growing up. She would often bounce between helping her father in the stables and her mother in the inn, desiring to be as helpful as possible to her parents. Sometimes she'd even receive a tip from their customers, who found the little busy bee worker cute enough to throw some coinage her way for a sweet, toy or whatever she might've wanted. All and all, Takara had a happy childhood. At least, until her life was suddenly turned upside down around her tenth winter. For reasons still unknown to Takara, her mother had disappeared from the village. It was like she never existed, having left no reason why or note as to where she was going. Both father and daughter felt lost and confused, wondering why Yua would just up and leave them behind. Her father grew grumpy and distant, while Takara became a shut-in, wishing her mother would return from wherever she had gone. It was during this mopey, depressive slump that Takara had a stupid yet brave idea. Sneaking out of the house one dark night, Takara stole a horse and raced out of the village. She would her find her mother, no matter what it took. Of course, when you're a ten year old out in the wilderness, you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. She wound up lost early on, and would've probably died out there had her father not led a search party out looking for his daughter. Her father had given Takara a stern talking to that day; that she had been a fool to run off on an equally foolish quest. Regardless of his scolding, however, her father knew he wouldn't be able to shake the idea out of her head. She did have her mother's stubbornness, after all. Therefore, her father forced Takara to make a promise to him. If she still intended to search for her mother, then she'd have to work for it. She'd have to grow faster. Better. Stronger. Anything that could stand in her way of finding her mother, Takara would train until it wasn't. In the end, it ultimately had been a promise Takara readily accepted without a second thought. She'd find her mother, no matter what it took. Other Information Ignore the sword in the picture; it doesn't exist. Signs known: Beckon, Quicken, Water, and Heat
