Name: Saya Kobayashis
Age: 21
Favourite computer game: League of Legends
Colour: Dark Red
Appearance: [Click] She's about 5'6 weighing in about 120 lbs, which isn't bad for a girl in her height, for her body isn't too skinny, nor too husky. Along with 5 slim fingers on each hand, and 5 slim toes on each of her feet, she has lightly tanned skin along with short black hair that reaches to the top of her shoulders. She also has light blue eyes, a fairly small nose, and a fairly-sized mouth. Saya is a pretty hygienic person when it came to her body. Her fingernails aren't too big, as she regularly cuts them every now and then when she feels that they're just too big, and her skin is overall pretty smooth from conditioning regularly as well.
When it comes to clothing, Saya isn't very modern with her clothing, however, she regularly still loves to wear what she thought was most comfortable for her. Her family traditionally wears the traditional Japanese dress of a miko. It consists of a pink jacket with sode-kukuri (cords) through the sleeves and open shoulders. She also wears strings called muna-himo which are attached to each lapel and tied in front to keep the garment closed. Natsumi's kosode would be very much like a modern Kendo or Naginata Keikogi, with the sleeve fitting somewhat closely like a modern loose shirt and extending slightly past the wrist. The slits on the side of her hakama, and the openings at the sleeves and shoulders of her hitoe (jacket) showed the white kosode she sported. Natsumi also wears a bright red nagabakama (a very long hakama), which includes the small board on the lower back. Finally, Natsumi wears common tabi (socks) and black sandals. It's all sported by a blue Obi, or belt, over all her other garments.
Personality: Saya is pretty warm-hearted, gentle, and polite. Conversing with people is no problem with her, as she was always interested on what other people had to say, because she always believed that there was always a certain degree of knowledge that comes from the wisdom of others' experiences. On the other hand, while she may be an actress, her acting skills are pretty poor, and she is really, really clumsy in general. Slipping, falling down on the floor are just a few common occurrences with her, but, she never really let her bad luck bother her that much.
A really irritable side of her is that she's pretty sassy when it came to things that people say that she disagrees with. Perhaps this is just a habit of her, but it happens. She also often gets jealous of other people's successions, or maybe other personal things like love, ability, or otherwise, and her jealousy can often misguide her to push her beyond her abilities. On the other hand, she also has a strong sense of justice when it came to helping people do the right thing, when they have done a bad thing. Sometimes people say that her sense of justice can be misguided, as in, "what people won't know, wouldn't kill them", but, Saya did have a habit on insisting that one should make amends for bad deeds.
A weird side of her is that she's quite the eccentric when it comes to the occult, meaning she believes in ghosts, spirits and so on. She doesn't have a natural fear of them, in fact, she loves talking about the different ghosts, and spirits, in which in this case, she refers them as 'yokai', as it was a term used in her family. She has different waring charms for these yokai, as she believed that they would drive out the evil spirits from people, and only replace it with the good spirits. Of course, she would naturally look weird in the end, but, she only believed it was for the good of others, and for the spirits.
Brief History: Saya was born in a small part of Okinawa, Japan, where cherry blossom trees grew during the season. She was born in a fairly small family: her mother, her uncle, her grandfather, and her grandmother, in a household where they lived in traditional means. Saya lived a simple life, until she turned 10 years old, when she became interested in performances. She joined as an actor on recreation of the play, Cinderella, where she got the lead role of Cinderella. Of course, preparing for this role was a tough step with her. She was really clumsy when it came to remembering her lines, as well as trying to stand up without slipping on her Cinderella dress. Soon she became more and more discouraged, until she got a visit from her family. She was given a magatama, a charm that was used to ward off evil spirits in which her mother explained that the thing that was holding Saya back was the evil spirit in her heart - the spirit of doubt. Finally, Saya racked up the courage to perform in the play, where she was praised for her performance. From then on, she kept the magatama and always returned to performing for audiences.
Despite her family living in traditional means, modern technology wasn't uncommon with the Kobayashis, as they still liked to use cell phones, cars, and even computers. Saya often loved to go on the computer after a hard performance, where she got to unwind to play video games with her friends. Finally, one day when she turned 21, she found out about the PokeLink MMO. It was time for her to play a game she hasn't experienced before...
