wow i apologize forever for that uselessly detailed shawl i might never draw it like that again myself

hikkikomori girls represent

Name: Makihara Sagiko (槙原　鷺子)

Age: 26

Height and Weight: 173cm (~5'7") & 54 kg (~119lbs)

Voice: Nazuka Kaori

Race: Spirit World Warrior

Occupation: Spirit World Warrior (unregistered to a clan)

Level: 1

Stats: VIT = 6; SPT = 26; PHS = 10; SPD = 9; DEF = 5

Rank: F

Expertise: Reading an entire book in a day, Extreme budgeting, Avoiding her problems and responsibilities

Elements: none

Weapon: The two bracelets on her right hand (that apparently belonged to her mother). When struck together, they produce a high frequency sound wave capable of stunning youmu (when controlled properly).

Skills:
Audiokinesis - the ability to control sound at will. She's still very inexperienced with this as she doesn't practice in real life situations often, and as a result is only able to produce concentrated sound waves in a 30cm diameter around her arm after striking the bracelets. Because of this, she needs to get in very close to a Youmu to be able to stun it with the sound. She's also working on figuring out how to make herself completely inaudible, but for the time being is only able to make herself not hear anyone around her.
Clairaudience - the ability to hear sounds outside the normal spectrum of possibility. This can be considered a side effect of her Audiokinesis and she does NOT want it at all; sometimes she can hear Youmu nearby before she can see them and to her that's much more terrifying. Unfortunately, her audiokinesis powers aren't strong enough to be able to cancel out the effects of this skill, and she sometimes ends up staying up all night because of a youmu down the block that won't shut the hell up and she just does not want to fight it u feel me.
Space Generation - The ability to generate three dimensional space. This is a work in progress, as she had only recently discovered her affinity for this power herself on her quest to learn new powers in an attempt to stop being so broke all the time. All she's figured out how to do (in theory) is to be able to add a maximum of 3 metre space between two points on contact (ie. her hand and a youmu). In adding this space, she could either move 3m away from the point on contact or compress the 3m of space inbetween the two points without increasing distance, allowing her attacks to gain extra power due to the spatial pressure being exerted in the (hopefully) outwards direction. However in practicing this she broke her kotatsu and had to eat cup noodles for the whole two months saving up for a new one. She prefers not to use this skill practically because she's still trying to teach herself how to use it in the first place... During her previous encounters, she's been able to become at least a little bit more competent with this skill. However, its range is still to be desired.

Personality: She had apparently been "such a caring and energetic girl" in the past according to her relatives. Most things she does now, however, she does for the sake of money. After her mother's death, she'd become apathetic towards all things that didn't have to with her mother's mysterious death, and would only talk to someone that had any clues (which of course, there weren't any). Since then, she accidentally became apathetic overall, and finds herself wasting away on the internet. She's easily bothered by many trivial things now, like people that stand in her way while she's walking or that one shoelace that won't just- I suppose it's best to say that she's too easily annoyed. Shutting herself in for so many years has also made her very shy as she hasn't interacted with anyone in a while, outside of the occasional chat with the shopkeep. Not talking for a while either, she has trouble finding the right words, and talks with a slight stutter (which of course she annoys herself with). She's also very reserved, being careful not to stand out too much. She's never dressed too flashy before, and it's apparent in her current choice of attire. She believes being so reserved will allw her to go about her way in peace without being approached.

History: After her mother's death, she quickly became apathetic towards all things that didn't have to with the mysterious circumstances surrounding the casualty; the only people she would consent to talk to were those who had any clues (of which, of course, there weren't any).

Prior to the accident, Sagiko was well on her way to finishing high school and entering her last year of studies. She was vice president of the Tennis Club at her high school and had a promising future ahead of her on her way to Tokyo University. Of course, that meant that from living such a normal high-school-girl-lifestyle, the telephone call from the police informing her of her mother's murder devastated her. The funeral was the following week, with a closed casket; she had apparently been bludgeoned to death by an unidentified blunt object. The police report hadn't given many conclusive details besides that. It was chalked up to a random act of violence with no clear solvable case present.

After that, Sagiko slowly gave up on life. She and her mother had been very close; the entire week before the funeral, she refused to leave her room. She began hearing things that weren't there in the interim week, otherworldly noises that couldn't be described through conventional terms. It took a steep toll on her psyche; she was unable to sleep most nights, the questionably real or imaginary sounds fuelling her nightmares. After the funeral service, Sagiko attempted to return to school and commence her regular routine; however, she felt like there was no point trying anymore if her mother wasn't around.

She started skipping more classes, escalating to the point where she stopped going to school for weeks on end. Her mother was her only family, after all, so she was given some compensation. For one, her mother had relinquished their entire house, and her money, to Sagiko. Sagiko doesn't want to touch the money, though, since she feels like it wouldn't be right to use the money her mother left her for selfish things. In addition to the house, she was given two bracelets with a note from her mother reading:
My dear little heron,
I know everything happening to you right now is strange and confusing. I'm sure you might have run into "them" already, with me gone, haven't you? I feel like there's just so much I have to tell you, still. For one, I'm sure you mustn't be taking my death very well, are you? You shouldn't find yourself worrying about it. You see, I've been scared of dying nearly every day, because of my job. I only think it was a matter of time before I told you what I actually did for a living, but the fact that you're reading this means I didn't get to break it to you in a more comfortable way, I suppose? I had wished that I wouldn't need to give you these bracelets at all, really, but you were born with a great power. I just wished I would have been around for you to awaken to them on your own. At least, I hope by the time you're reading this letter, you'd have awoken to them already. Why, I found out I was able to use my power at around 19, so it was a very awkward university life I lived! Anyway, these bracelets can help you learn more about this power of yours, so I'll just give you a big hint: it's got something to do with "sound," you hear that? I wish you the best of luck for the rest of your days, and I'm sorry I won't be around to guide you through the training process! It's very tough to figure out, this power. Trust me, I had the same one! Although I didn't use bracelets...
With love, Mom<3

On one hand, the will seemed a little bit too planned-out? Did her mother know she was going to die soon? What was her real job? What did she mean by "them?" Did it have to do with the noises she hears before she goes to bed? What exactly was this "power?" These questions passed through Sagiko's mind for an instant, but more pressing was the concern about the bracelets and what she decided to do with them. She couldn't bring herself to refuse a direct order from her mother, even after her passing, so she decided she would wear them from that day on.

She eventually ended up barely passing high school, somehow working up the strength to write her final exams. She didn't apply for university or a job. Instead, she decided to devote herself on figuring out what this "power" of hers was. Going on the idea of "sound," she figured that the noises she heard at night were somehow related to them. From here, she ended up discovering that she was able to actually see sound waves coming from her bracelets when they struck together (that is— after sacrificing three days' worth of sleep researching powers related to sound). Not long after that, thinking that it was a terrible side effect of her sleep loss, she found that she was able to control these sound waves, albeit weakly. This must have been the power that both she and her mother shared: audiokinesis.

When she thought about it then, she didn't know much about what her mother did. Her mother always told her to stay away from "them," but she never knew what that meant. She used to hear strange noises from time to time, but her mother simply told her to avoid whatever it was that she was hearing. As a result she'd been able to avoid directly seeing Youmu for most of her childhood, but she was able to recall the few instances in which she was scared by what she thought were simply ghosts and her mother comforting her as she sang a song that made them "go away." Looking back on it, were those "ghosts" what her mother was referring to in her letter? Does that mean her mother was able to use audiokinesis to drive the ghosts away with her songs? She realized her mother was probably hiding much more than she thought.

She decided then that she would move on to the next step and figure out what the sounds that kept her up at night were in the first place. She hadn't wanted to pay them much mind before, but after noticing that she had always been avoiding sounds like these due to pure instinct and her mother's instructions, she steeled herself to take a step forwards into the unknown. This was, of course, a bad choice. She finally found the source: a large Youmu that was lurking around in a playground just down the street. Such an alien creature was horrendous in her eyes, and she couldn't help but scream. These kinds of things must have been what her mother was protecting her from; she recalled the times she'd seen ghosts in their house to be less terrifying than this creature before her. Of course, since she went out looking for it during the night, there was no one else around but the Youmu to hear her. Which it did. Very clearly.

Sagiko came very close to dying at the hands of a youmu; just in time, however, she successfully stunned it with soundwaves from clanging her bracelets together. Before she was able to run away, another person showed up and killed the Youmu with a simple punch to the face, leaving behind an odd stone. She doesn't remember much about what happened after that, but the person, seemingly very happy that day, decided to let her keep the stone and showed her where she could go to have it appraised. All of this was very strange and new to Sagiko, and after staying inside for so long studying she had definitely not looked up to par, being embarrassed by the entire encounter.

Fortunately, the stone was actually worth quite a bit of money (around ¥10,000), leading Sagiko to believe that whatever this person was doing with these terrifying creatures, it earned a nice amount of cash. Perhaps why this is why her mother always had a nice bit of extra money lying around? Was this what her mother was doing all the time? She questioned the store's owner and led to her to the path that would hopefully answer all her questions: become a Spirit World Warrior.

... Too bad she's too scared of Youmu to actually fight them, though. She now only goes out to fight Youmu if cash is really dwindling, and it is. Most of the time she simply stays in her room and researches on the internet to figure out how her powers work and what she could try to do with them, putting it in practice in the real world. The only reason she was able to keep a "stable" income all these years is because she was helped by the strangely competent Spirit World Warrior she met that day that's strangely disappeared since then. The only thing she was able to learn from her was the ability to generate small amounts of space to help her fight, but it's so hard to pull off that she doesn't really want to put the effort in to try any harder at it; she'd rather slowly learn about her Audiokinesis instead.

Miscellaneous:
Her favorite snacks are sweet senbei
Her food taste is pretty traditional in general. Her favorite desserts are red bean yokan, dorayaki, and mizu manju (with black bean filling)
She finds herself eating confectionery more than real food on some days, though.
She at least knows how to cook on her own. She would make dinners for the family when her mother was still around, and considers herself a pretty impressive cook. She only knows how to make Japanese food, though.
Her current goal is to get enough money to afford making a sukiyaki dinner or two (with some money left over).
She isn't nearly as impressive as this app is making her out to look go d her expression is definitely not usually that determined...
