There will be times when her most dramatic inner thoughts tend to stir and speak. Depending on the situation, this will cause her to create outlandish, worst-case scenarios in her head. Often times she will believe them.
Smart, and a bit creative. With her intuitiveness, she often doodles what she is feeling or what she perceives people are like through her eyes.

Family
Father: Musashi, Hamazaki - Shiro's father is a fisherman, he comes from a long line of fishermen that have been looking after the coastlines and rivers for generations. Like Shiro, he is blunt and speaks his mind with a grin on his face, but his aggressive demeanor tends to intimidate others, he can sometimes be stubborn. Beneath the rough exterior is a calm, kind and wise man.
Mother: Yumi, Hamasaki - Yumi was a noble and devoted woman, looking after three children in all on her own while the father was absent. Shiro's kindness and caring came from her. Yumi died in a accident when Shiro was a very young girl.
Siblings/Brother: Kaito (Kai), Hamazaki - Eldest brother to Shiro. Kaito is rebellious, laid back and shrewd, but he is very caring to his younger sister. When his father is around, he will travel with him out near the coast or to sea. When Kaito finds out that his father didn't catch enough fish for the day he will drag his brother, sometimes his sister, out in the middle of the night to catch bigger fish.
He tends to tease his younger sister, saying she acts more like a boy than a girl. When it comes to physical contact though, Shiro can and will dominate him.
Kaito and Hanataro were on a swim team together when they were younger, it was thanks to their experience that helped their sister get over her fears by teaching her to swim. He also does scuba-diving on occasion. He attends college and studies biology in both marine animals and humans. He wants to be a marine biologist.
Siblings/Brother: Hanataro (Hana, Taro), Hamasaki - Second eldest to Shiro. Hanataro is much more kind and caring, like his mother. He is often forced to join his brother, along with Shiro, whenever Kaito wants to help his father with fishing. Hana cleans and cooks and keeps order in the household, as well as making sure Shiro's and Kaito's arguments and teasing don't get out of hand. However, Hanataro will occasionally argue with Kaito over his bad habits and his procrastination.
Hanataro loves math. Probability and formulas are his strong fort, so he claims. Whenever the weather is on he spends his time calculating numbers to prove the weather's accuracy. About 70% of the time he is wrong. He dreams of predicting the perfect storm.
Hanataro and Kaito were on a swim team together when they were young, him being faster in breastworks then his older brother. Both Kaito and Hanataro are on a swim team again, but he is less competitive than before, focusing more on his own studies. He attends college with his brother and studies math and meteorology.
