[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Appearance: Hotaru has straight, silky black hair that is cut at her chin and parted sideways, often covering the left side of her face. She is only 1/3 Japanese, giving her light blue-gray eyes. At 5’3”, she is of shorter build and has a very skinny physique. While some people might envy her for only weighing around 90 pounds, this prevents her from having much of a womanly figure, and she has been cursed with being mistaken for a pretty boy when she’s in baggy clothing. She is also rather pale and often looks tired.
Personality: Hotaru was a very sickly child growing up, allowing little time to interact with other kids her age. While friendly and happy to chat with anyone, she has very few friends, and even fewer people she is willing to trust. She does not usually understand when she says something strange or rude. While not overly blunt, she has never mastered the art of political correctness, and will often do or say whatever comes to her mind without regard to the opinions of those around her. She loves children and, like a child, will sometimes display a strange amount of empathy towards a person or situation, although the occasion is rare.
Likes: Drawing, Singing, Dancing, and Formal Wear
Dislikes: Writing and Housework
Background: Growing up in a workaholic home, Hotaru spent the first three years of her life with various nannies or at a Day Care centre, never getting the time to really bond with either of her parents. At four years old, her immune system began failing and her body had a difficult time absorbing nutrients. She spent the next 12 years in and out of various hospitals, with brief visits from her parents the only true company she received. To pass the time, she turned to drawing, and soon enough her room was filled with sketchbooks and art supplies. The doctors and nurses loved her for outgoing personality, and the way she never afraid to try or do anything. At 16, the hospital visits came to an almost end, with only very rare visits and check-ups the reminder of her weak body. After that, she hit the books hard to get into a decent University, studying Art to become an Elementary School art teacher. Unable to make the full time commute, she is only a part time student. She has never had any romantic experiences of any kind, making her very ignorant in the ways of love, or any close bond of any kind for that matter. One year ago, an unidentified man cornered her on her way home from school. He attempted to explain the Sacrifice/Fighter bond, and why she has the name Shameless imprinted on the inside of her right wrist, but she ran away before he could tell her much beyond the fact that her role was the Sacrifice. She is still unfamiliar about the Seven Moons, the Bonds, or much of anything beyond she is missing someone who should have the same name as she.
