Description
Guess who's back~
Woo, time for second character! I decided to bring back an old favorite of mine~
Anywho onto the info
Edit: New app art to go along with the new app~
Name: Hikari Otohime
Nickname: Kari [Preferred]
Age: 20
B.o.D.: August 18th
Gender: Female
Pokémon: #181 Ampharos
Nature: Modest [Sp A+, A-]
Characteristic: Often Lost in Thought [Highest Base stat; Special Attack]
Personality:
Simply put Kari is a caring 'mon that will keep to herself at times. To friends, and sometimes strangers, she'll express her caring nature in some sort of way. Whether it be helping them out, or just simply asking if they're okay. Her doing this for strangers, as mentioned before, is rarer. It's not that she dislikes meeting new people, quite the opposite, she just has a rather bad habit of worrying about every little detail. ”What if they don't like me helping them?” “Maybe they'll just be annoyed by me helping them..” The list goes on and on. These thoughts can be rather vivid as she tends to delve far too deep into them. So much so that she might walk into things without realizing it. This can also apply to other situations; vivid ideas for small accessories, plushes, etc. However, for those who do befriend her she'll worry a little less than usual, but still enough to stress the little things. Coupled with how easily she worries is how she can be easily discouraged from doing something. She's easily swayed by the opinions of others and will often base her decisions off of them. If she wants to try something, but is told more than once that she can't do it, odds are she'll likely believe them. From this, one could easily guess that she doesn't think all too highly of her abilities, and they'd be correct. If asked to rank how she sees her skills she'd say average at best. Not amazing, but not horrendous either. Her temperament is rather mild, as she doesn't get provoked very easily at all. In fact her being genuinely angry at someone or something is rather rare.
Backstory:
Hikari was born into a small family in Japan, consisting of her Flaaffy mother, and Ursaring father. Like most members of the Ampharos line in her family, she was born with one less stripe on both of her horns, and her tail. As it was just a physical trait, it didn't cause any harm to the girl. Her life growing up was rather normal, except for two things. One being that she was English at a fairly young age by her mother. The other being that she had a stutter/stammer. This of course caused her to have some difficulty saying some words in both English and Japanese, but she managed to learn.
Her school life was also normal for the most part as well. Things started to change for the more interesting side of the spectrum one day in third grade. On said day she had noticed a seemingly new student sitting next to her in her first class. He didn't look all to comfortable, and she grew even more curious when he didn't stand up to bow to the teacher. As she noticed the Lillipup's eyes getting watery as the teacher wrote simple words on the board, the young Flaaffy blurted out in a quite tone a simple “Are you okay?” in English. For a brief moment after she had spoken up, she was worried that the boy didn't speak English, but after he nodded quickly her worries faded and she gave him a warm smile. Shortly afterward he had asked for her name to which she had whispered Hikari Otohime, and he had whispered back Xan King.
From that moment the two had become acquaintances, and their bond only seemed to grow stronger after the two found out they had lived in the same neighborhood. They did practically everything they could together. They studied, did homework together, hung out, she helped him with his Japanese, and in return he helped with certain English words, they did anything and everything they could. Everything seemed like nothing could possibly go wrong. Of course that would prove to be false when Xan had dropped the bomb about him moving one day in the middle of a conversation as they had walked home. The two had been inseparable for six years, and the, now, Ampharos girl was shocked to say the least. She didn't want her friend to leave, but there was nothing she could really do about it. And so her good friend left for New York while she stayed in Japan.
About a year after Xan had left, Kari had started her first year of high school. The new year had felt similar to the last, well besides all of the stress and larger workload, but nonetheless it wasn't bad. During said year a friend had asked her to join the school's sewing club. Overall it was a small club, nothing too extravagant, and despite not knowing much-if anything- about sewing she agreed to join to give some moral support. Little did she know that such a small club would bring to her one of her favorite hobbies. The club had taught her how to sew of which she quickly took a liking to both it and the club itself. Due to her enjoyment with the club she continued on with it for her next two years of high school.
After graduation she took what she'd hoped would be a two year break from school before going onto college. Things seemed to have been going well until shortly after her twentieth birthday. Hikari's mother had told one of her friends about her daughter's sewing hobby, which, someway or another, had resulted in Kari receiving her first commission. It was just a small Halloween costume, nothing much to worry about right...? Well it would be for someone who didn't worry about every little detail. The placement of each little button, if a thread was out of place she wanted to redo it. As the days passed and the deadline grew closer the more stressed she became.
Though she was stressed to no ends with the deadline she managed to finish the costume it and deliver it on time. And much to her surprise she got pretty positive feedback on it. Hikari herself didn't find it to be all that great, but politely took the review. Once she returned home the Ampharos did a small cheer in joy, but her joy quickly vanished after she noticed her arm from the elbow down was a long blade. In the moment of pure shock she screamed of course which caught the attention of her parents. When they got there her father let out a deep laugh while her mother tried to get her to calm down. After she had finally calmed down, her father explained the world of meisters and weapons, and that she too was a weapon thanks to her grandfather. The weapon genes had skipped over her father, but she was lucky enough to have inherited them. And now she had the option of going to a school filled with weapons and meisters, the Death Weapons Meister Academy. As one could guess she was unsure of how to respond to the influx of information. However, she accepted the offer to attend the school. What else was there to do? Let her arm constantly turn into a blade at random?
Once she had arrived there she was overwhelmed to say the least. There were so many Pokemon around, and none of which she knew. While looking around for a bit she noticed a Lillipup man walking up to her from the crowd. As he got closer he oddly looked familiar. The reason why become clear soon after he had said her name. It was Xan! Kari could hardly hold in her joy when he had asked her why she was there. When she responded that she was a weapon, not that she completely understood the concept, he had asked to be her meister. Of course she had agreed, and from then on the doubts she had with the school disappeared.
