Being who she is, Setsumi has always been quite optimistic; always thinking that her future would be wonderful, not allowing herself to fall within her sad memories; keeping the positive mindset she grew to have. Having patience is a job requirement for Sumi; she has to deal with some customers who have no idea what they are trying to buy; she'd easily able to accept the delays in the purchase without getting angry or upset about it. A curious girl since she was young, she always wonders about people and about their story of how they got to where they were in the present day; she loves learning about people, even if it's good or bad.
Setsumi is pretty darn stubborn, it can prove to be tough to change her mind if she's dead set on something; there are times where she's flexible enough to change her stance on something but it could take a whole lot of convincing. Sumi is very secretive about some of the things in her past; there are just some things she honestly rather not speak of, although it is possible for her to talk about it; she just often times prefer not to.
Having gained disobedience later in life; causes her to disregard most people of authority, also definitely does not like following what people tell her to do. Growing up sheltered to an extent, she can be very naive at times. Not being able to understand certain situation or not having the knowledge about common things most other know. Since she was young Setsumi has been clumsy she tends to fumble and drop things often since she can get a little nervous especially when handling customers; it makes her a little too embarrassed at times since she should be a little more professional.
History:
((Trigger warning before you read!))
Setsumi is the beloved child to Amaya an Alolan Ninetales and Shiro a Beartic, the girl was born in a massive blizzard by her father, he was a healer so there was no worries in his mind. Although Amaya had some complications while giving birth to her daughter, thankfully she pulled through and was able to watch her child grow up.
As Setsumi aged, the girl had a deep love for the snow, she was always seen playing in it with other children in the village. But when she reached the age of seven, her mother started to forbid her from going outside to play; she was to learn all the vital tools to become a good wife. Sumi of course thought this was unfair, she just wanted to be a kid and play with the friends she had. There were days she refused to do as her mother asked, she didn't want to learn how to sew, how to do laundry or even cook but it was forced upon her; no matter how stubborn she was against it, her mother wouldn't back down either. It took a while but Setsumi gave in and allowed her mother to teach her. The girl's father was gone a lot since he was a healer he had patients all over the Winter Kingdom that he had to visit frequently.
When Setsumi was fourteen, a man came to her village, looking to speak to her family. Finding them, he was there to retrieve Sumi due to a deal the families had made before she was born. The deal was Amaya and Shiro would offer their first born daughter as a wife to the man's first born son, in order to keep Shiro's business running. Now that she old enough, he had come to take her but Setsumi didn't want to leave she wanted to stay in her village and with her parents. Unfortunately no matter what she wanted, she was taken away; it broke her parents hearts but they knew the day would come where this would happen.
Reaching the man's village, he finally revealed his name as Kyo and telling her his son was named Daichi. Setsumi was scared but listened anyways, she hardly knew what was going on; everything was explained so quickly to her, she had no time to understand before she was set to leave her village. When they made it to their family home, servants came and took Setsumi; getting her cleaned up and prepared to see the man she was now arranged to marry. Sumi felt upset that this was happening; she was ripped away from her family and brought to another to be wed. Setsumi was dressed in quite the expensive looking Yukata, she felt a little out of place in it but it wasn't like she could just escape; bad enough she was just too scared to even attempt to do that. The girl was brought into a room full of people seemingly from the village, the girl felt extremely nervous and ended up tripping over the Yukata, landing onto the floor. Setsumi quickly picked herself up and brushed off any dirt; tears had formed in her eyes, she didn't want to be here, she just wanted to go back home. Within five minutes of sitting in the room full of chatting people, servants came through swung open presenting a man who looked like he was in his mid-late twenties. He was an Absol, very tall and quite intimidating; the girl's nervousness skyrocketed, before it was all talk but now it's really happening. Her heart sank as he came forward and introduced himself as Daichi Hirashigo; Setsumi was nudged and told to introduced herself, she did but it was quietly. Daichi sat himself next to Sumi; a date was set for their wedding, the girl had to bite back her words of disagreement.
After the public announcement for the wedding, Setsumi was moved to another room, where soon after Daichi entered the room to actually speak to her alone. Sumi didn't talk much just answered questions he asked her, he had mentioned how he couldn't wait until after their wedding; when she questioned why Daichi only answered with a smirk, she didn't know what that meant but she felt disgusted by that expression.
Before she realized it was the day of the wedding, Sumi has had the urge to just try and run away but she wasn't sure what would happen to her parents if she did; she just didn't want to marry a man she just met, even from the small amount of time they had spent together, Sumi could tell she wasn't going to like him at all. The servants that were assigned to Setsumi started to get her dressed for the day, in a very white kimono; it was beautiful but Sumi would have been happier to wear it for someone she loved. It wasn't much longer until she was walked out to the shrine on the property, where Daichi was waiting for her; due to the long kimono Setsumi tripped but luckily was caught by the servants that brought her out. Just in case they walked her the rest of the way to the shrine, there she stood in front of Daichi; refusing to look at him opting to stare at the snowy ground instead. The wedding progressed, Setsumi mumbling her answers making it more than obvious that she didn't want to be there but it didn't seem to be helpful in any way. They officiated the marriage and it did take much time that the guests went off to where they were meant to eat. Soon after the reception was over and the property had fell silent. Sumi had been in her room getting out of the kimono and putting on something more comfortable when Daichi came into the room without knocking. Since she was in the middle of changing the girl quickly covered herself but that seemed to be what Daichi didn't want; backing herself into a corner was the worst idea as it just made it easier to grab her, what he said made her scared. Having hardly any time to react, Daichi threw her onto the bed and stood above her; telling her about the things he was going to do now that she was his wife.
Four years had come and gone now, Setsumi had a burning, disgusting hatred for Daichi for the things he had put her through; however in the meantime while she was living in his home, she studied herbal plants and berries for medicinal purposes. She had always had an interest in them since her father was a healer; as she read the books she had come to know of many plants and berries that were toxic to people like her. That put a morbid thought in her mind, if something were to happen to Daichi; it would stop. Everything would just stop. Putting on the sweet smile she was known for, she asked one of the servants to obtain a certain berry that Setsumi said as great for skincare. Without a second thought the servant went off to gather what was asked of her. Setsumi didn't have to wait long for the servant to return the young Ninetales thanked her before heading off to her room, staying in there for only a few minutes leaving behind some berries so it wasn't suspicious. Taking only two berries, Setsumi went to the kitchen to make some tea for her husband. While the herbs steeped in the water, she squished the berries and added them to the water hoping they'd do the trick. Knowing that Daichi was in a meeting, he wouldn't be mad if she came in with tea for him; her heart almost raced at what she was about to do cause in her mind it was the only way out. Setting down the tea she bowed and then left, she listened for the commotion of people freaking out. It was only a minute later that it happened, Sumi knew that this as her only chance; she rushed to her room and grabbed the items she gathered beforehand and made a dash for the treeline as people were frantically trying to save Daichi. She did it, now finally away from him.
Now at twenty-three, Setsumi is doing a lot better, she's been free from her forced marriage and is now working as a travelling merchant that sells healing goods; whatever people need she's most likely to have it. She's just happy to be able to help people and not be locked up within walls. Sumi knew this is what she wanted to do from the beginning, she'd just glad to be away from the people who did hurt her and now she hopes to find friends along her adventures to the other kingdoms.
