Name: Kaori Mori
Age: 15
Grade: 1st year
Disability: Double Amputee (Both legs were surgically amputated just below her knees)
Personality: Kaori is soft spoken. She keeps her past to herself mostly although she enjoys socializing with people she knows. She is still hesitant to talk about how she lost the lower part of her legs and usually avoids any questions that might lead to what happened to her as the incident still haunts her memories. The trauma hasn't taken away her passion for photography or art however as these are the few things she finds peace in. Kaori also despises bullies of any kind.
Background: Kaori was born as a boy to a family of four. From an early age it was obvious that she was special but it wasn't until she was four years old that she was finally able to articulate her feelings to her parents. Kaori was blessed with parents who supported their daughter for who she is and encouraged her to live the way that felt most comfortable to her. When Kaori turned ten her parents were finally convinced that she wasn't going through some sort of phase they allowed her to live as a girl full time. At age twelve she started taking beta blockers to prevent male puberty and gradually began taking estrogen supplements to facilitate female puberty later. All was not well however as she was ridiculed constantly in school by other students.
At age fourteen she was being bullied by three of her classmates. They had cornered her on a bridge overlooking a river and were pushing her towards the edge. Kaori, having had enough, decided to push back by kicking one of them in the stomach. Unfortunately, this prompted the others to escalate the situation and hold her over the edge. The boy she had kicked became enraged and forced her over. She landed feet first and was swept up in the current. She was found half a kilometer down river with her feet mangled and broken.
When she arrived at the hospital her parents were there to meet her. Kaori's legs had suffered the most from the incident and were so badly damaged that she would never walk on them again. The majority of the damage was on the feet and below the knee which were amputated to make way for prosthetic replacements. Kaori is still learning to use her new legs.
Other Info: Kaori is an avid photographer and digital artist. She hopes to put that talent to good use one day.
Understandably, she has developed a psychological phobia of bridges and bodies of water as well as anything swimming related (showers are okay, baths are not).
She has yet to undergo SRS and so she still has her "boy bits".
Her camera is a Sony Alpha a65
Her tablet is a Sony Xperia Z2
