kαtσ chunjírσ

"If my only strength is my sword, even so, I'll surely protect the ones I love!"

Name: Kato Chunjiro (Surname first)
Nickname: "Chun" or "Chuu-kun"
Age: 17
Favorite food: Ramen 🍜
Occupation: Samurai
Appearance: Trained by his father from his youngest days, Chunjiro is confident in his strength, yet doesn't look too imposing upon first glance. He's a little late to start growing, and his arms and legs are generally a bit thin. Other than that, his face is kind, with much boyishness still visible in his features.
Background: Chunjiro's father runs a dojo and was very strict on him as a child. His mother is a beautiful and well-mannered women who is highly thought of in the village, but a truly frightening mother. He loves ramen with fried fish. Has more than a few younger siblings and is used to working hard for other people. Nervous around women. As the eldest, he has been betrothed since birth and was expected to become a samurai like his father, a responsibility he has gotten used to.

• Gender | ♀
• Age | 17
• Height | 5'
• Weight | 126 lbs
• Ethnicity | White
• Hair Colour | Blonde
• Eye Colour | Blue with hints of purple when hit by the sun.

Appearance Details:

Elegant, carefree and rather cheerful, Haru is a humble girl who adores her family. At times she can appear quiet, shy almost, but she is around new people. Finding it awkward at first to make conversation Haru tries but often flusters, however once she opens up you see another side to her. A fun, passionate young lady who has strong beliefs.

Character Synopsis:

Haru is the only child of her family, her mother Hanae passed away in childbirth leaving her father Hiroshi to raise her on his own. They were a well respected family in their village and Hiroshi had promised his daughters hand to the first born son of another well respected family in the village. As soon as they were of age they were to be married.

Growing up Haru was well educated by her father, he wanted nothing but the best for her and always put her safety first. Needless to say the loss of his wife had him holding onto her as much as he could and if it meant money or food out of his own pocket he would do that for her.

Mother and Father

"Be patient."

"In this house, we do our chores BEFORE going outside to play."

Name: Kato Jin
Nickname: N/A
Age: 36
Occupation: Samurai
Favorite food: Rice.
Background: A respected samurai who runs a dojo in addition to his daily duties, Jin is well-known as a someone you don't want to cross. His skill with a sword is second to none, and his training is so harsh he's known for having only one or two pupils at a time. How such a stern-looking person like himself got a beautiful wife has been the ongoing talk of the town for as long as Chunjiro can remember. Jin was especially harsh with his eldest, and Chunjiro has many painful memories of being forced to walk mountains barefoot, or duel until his hands bled. In summary, Jin is a man of few words and tough love for his children.

Name: Kato (maiden name Sayo) Chinatsu
Nicknames: Natsu or Sayo-san by close friends, Oka-san by her children and husband
Age: 34
Occupation: Housewife
Favorite food: Miso soup (with soba noodles)
Background: Beautiful, well-respected, and easily the most eligible maiden in the village, Chinatsu enjoyed a good education in her youth, and once had dreams of working for the government. However, her status as a women of marriageable age led her to enter into an arranged marriage at the age of 17, just like Chunjiro. She's made what she can of her position, but many rumors abound about her love life. She, like Jin, is strict on her children, but loves them dearly. It can just be hard to tell sometimes.

Eldest Sister

"It's not polite to eat with your mouth open, Maika."

Name: Yua
Nickname: Yu-chan
Age: 16
Occupation: None
Favorite food: Mochi 🍡
Background: Demure and beautiful, Yua is waiting for the day--no, the hour--when she will be married. Taught by her mother in all the ways of a good wife, she is perfect is almost everything she does, and has become quite popular in the village. However, the condition of her father--that they must beat him in an honest swordfight--has made winning her hand difficult. A loving older sister, she worries over Chunjiro, but has been soothed by the reports of her mother that he is doing well on his own.

Second Sister

"I want to be just like big sis!"

Name: Maika
Nickname: Ai-chan
Age: 14
Favorite food: All of them! 🍚
Occupation: Cook
Background: Like her older sister, Maika is eagerly awaiting the day she grows up, but unlike Yua, has a ways to go. She's childish, clumsy, and butts heads with Takeru constantly, but her aspirations to be as elegant as Yua have spurred her to study the ways of tending to a home. As a result, she has become a very good cook, at least in the eyes of her family. She takes care of much of the shopping, and is regarded by the village as a cheerful, if slightly immature girl who loves to talk.

Second Twin

"Th-that's not fair! YOU'RE CHEATING! WAAAH!"

Name: Takeru
Nickname: He hates them, but "Take-kun" is common.
Age: 11
Favorite food: Onigiri (rice balls) 🍙
Occupation: Woodcutter
Background: Patience is not usually the first word to describe Takeru, nor the second, nor the hundredth. Indeed, the boy is so stubborn that even his famously patient father has lost his temper a handful of times when dealing with him. His hot-headed nature has denied him the spot as Jin's next successor, and seeing as he throws a tantrum every time Reo wins a Shogi game against him, he's not regaining it anytime soon. Looks up to Chunjiro the most.

First Twin

"...Even if you cry, it's not going to change anything."

Name: Reo
Nickname: Re-re (by Himari)
Age: 11
Favorite food: Squid sushi 🍣
Occupation: Apprentice scribe
Background: The older twin, Reo is much different from Takeru, both in looks and personality. Being a cool and collected soul like his father, Jin had hopes of training him to become a samurai like he did with Chunjiro, but Reo requested specifically to study under the local goverment scribe. His level-headedness and willingness to learn makes him a good pupil and it seems to be something he enjoys as well. He and Yua get along well, both being the quiet sort.

Fourth Brother

"What are you guys yelling about...?"

Name: Izukaze 🎐
Nickname: Kaze (by his siblings), Zu-kun (by Yua)
Age: 7
Favorite food: N/A
Occupation: None
Background: Yua and Reo are quiet. Takeru and Maika are not. As the second-youngest, Izukaze places somewhere in the middle. He gets along with his friends and family, but many have exclaimed over his grown-up way of speaking and "precocious" intelligence. Indeed, he seems almost too smart for his age, and some wonder if his laziness is merely an act. Whatever the truth, he's shown interest in becoming a samurai and Jin has admitted he shows promise. At the moment, he sticks close to his mother and his baby sister, Himari.

Youngest Sister

"Kaze, Kaze, let's play hide-and-seek!"

Name: Himari
Nickname: Mari-chan (by her friends), Hi-chan (by her siblings), Mimi (by Chunjiro)
Age: 4
Favorite food: Shaved ice 🍨
Occupation: Child
Background: The baby of the family and a very cute one at that, Himari elicts smiles from everyone, everywhere she goes. She's a joy inside and out, although like any young child, she throws tantrums and sobs a bit when things don't go her way. But nobody faults her for it--nobody faults her for anything, her siblings would say. The youngest is usually the least punished, and Himari is no exception, but she's still loved by her siblings, especially Chunjiro. Unlike her siblings, Himari's hair is light in color, making her stick out even more.

Although it would have been okay to remarry, he felt he could not open his heart again and instead focused all his time in raising his only daughter.
