Shizuka Otonashi || Warakuma Train Terminal || August 1 SAT: Morning

Upon having been introduced to the newest member of their investigation group, Shizuka lowered her head for a bow and flashed a welcoming smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kanna-san. My name is Shizuka Otonashi, a first year from Warakuma High. Welcome to our little group!" Looking at how nervous the teen seemed to be, she painfully understood how it felt to be the new member to the group. Would I be of any help? Would they accept me even after witnessing my shadow? All sorts of thoughts wandered through her mind then, it could be a similar situation for him as well.

A familiar voice greeted her in response to which the freshman turned her attention to. It was Kotori, Shizuka's upperclassman and fellow Agriculture Club member. "Glad to see you're going to the trip as well, Shirohane-senpai." It was reassuring to have someone familiar to go out on a trip with. Speaking of, once she took a moment to survey her surroundings, there were quite a number of familiar faces here and there, to her relief. One of which was Ryan, who commented to her mother's decision against the original swim wear. A confused expression was all the maiden could respond with, was there something questionable with her tastes?

“Sorry…. I'm… late.. Woke up late.” Thump. As if her heart was about to leap out of her chest, Shizuka flinched in surprise merely at the sound of his voice. Subconsciously, the girl's eyes searched for him upon her arrival and hid the disappointment upon her features when the boy was nowhere in sight. Unable to contain the joy she felt, a slight curve made its way upon her lips with a turn of her head towards the upperclassman's direction. Matt and Shizuka's eyes met for a split second but that was all it took for the two to avert their gazes away from each other with cheeks tainted with a rosy hue. The soft smile of joy grew into a lonely, melancholic smile instead as the group moved towards the train to the beach.

Shizuka Otonashi || Sadaomi Beach || August 1 SAT: Morning

Arriving at the beach, people scattered to either scout for a spot upon the sands or to change into their swim wears. The freshman decided to follow the latter idea, seeing the blazing hot sun and the glittering blue waters were more than enough to tempt anyone into splashing into the water. Finding the changing rooms along with the others was an easy task with all the sign boards leading to them. Taking a good couple of minutes to get changed, Shizuka emerged from the changing rooms with a pure white bikini top adorned by a ribbon at the center and a colorful tropical skirt that covered her lower bikini piece until it was the appropriate time to swim. It took more time to cover her skin in sun block lotion as the sun seemed bright enough to sun burn anyone in a matter of few hours.

Walking along the shore with a parasol to block the rays of the sun, Shizuka started towards the group not too far off from where she was.

Shizuka Otonashi || Warakuma Train Terminal || August 1 SAT: Morning

"A pleasant morning to you!" A familiar feminine voice called out to the group of teens who stood around the entrance to the ticket area. With a slight wave of her hand, Shizuka greeted her peers who were present at the moment. The girl wore a straw hat, a must for any beach outing, white loose blouse with a mid-length, pleated sky blue skirt. For the daughter of a fashion designer, it almost came natural to her to stay in trend with the season's wardrobe. ...Or so everyone thought.

"I-I do apologize for my slight tardy to the meeting time! I've originally intended to bring my sailor uniform themed swim wear as a form of cosplay bu-but mother upon hearing of it advised against it. Somewhere along the lines of men with peculiar tastes...?" Slightly tilting her head in confusion at the explanation given by her mother, she shakes her head to put away thoughts of potential reasons. Remembering what she had brought along for the group, the freshman lifts the basket in her possession for the others to see. "Oh! For the short trip on the train, I brought some sandwiches and tea as snacks!"

At the corner of her eye, Shizuka noticed a silver haired boy watching the group from behind a trash bin. Wondering if he were a new member of their group, since she had not personally met him, the teen simply waved at him. "Hello, are you part of our group?"

Rumi

Outskirts of Ordon Village

"... A hollowed gaze, of eyes cold to life...~ I felt the eyes fall apon me, yet within they felt no more...~" A serene voice sounded from within the depths of the forest, approaching closer to the village by the river. The blue figure adorned in a gown of dark violet shade, to whom the voice belonged to, ceased in her path towards the settlement when a pair of distressed voices seemed to seek help. Rumi, the female Zora singer, was typically not the type to be generous to strangers (with the exception of children) unless there were any merit to be earned in doing so. As she was deciding to pretend the plea for help was not heard from her current location, a phrase paused her train of thought, 'spineless knight'.

'A knight? Perhaps a Hylian knight?', the songstress thought to herself with a scheming smile upon her lips. If the assumption that the knight seeking help was of Hyrule origin, it would be convenient for Rumi who had been traveling towards Hyrule to earn a debt to be owed to. The least she could get out of helping the knight would be an escort into the city, a must for a frail diva such as her. After the change of mind, the songstress at least decided to see what sort of situation they were in and followed after the screaming.

Upon arriving at the source of the voices from a safe distance, Rumi sighed at the shameful scene before her. A knight garbed in green with a little Korok were stuck atop a branch, literally hanging for their lives from the vicious canines just below them. It was almost painful to see how cowardly the knight seemed to be, the thought of just leaving the unreliable knight had crossed her mind but out of pity, and he could maaaybe still offer something worth, the Zora Siren stepped forward out into the open. The wolves sensed another presence among them and turned their heads towards the Zora as their expression remained hostile. Despite facing the hostility and sharp fangs head on, Rumi kept a confident expression.

The Zora's lips parted, "I call on you now, devoute thyself for my need ...~" As if by trance, the once enraged wolves withdrew their fangs and claws, bowing obediently towards the songstress. A soft chuckle escaped her lips before she spoke to the two above on the tree, "Do not be afraid, they're under my command. If you two so wish to, I will order them to leave."

Rumi the Siren

"Oh how I do so admire that will of yours,
I would love to have it for myself~🎵"

Name: Rumi
Age: 24 (human age equivalent)
Gender: Female
Race: Zora
Personality:
Rumi typically comes off as a mature and mysterious female Zora, especially if one were to listen to her mellow, mesmerizing yet melancholic singing voice. Due to her career as a songstress, the Zora learned to use her songs to influence her opportunities with allurance. Despite Rumi's flirty, seductive approaches, she holds no interest for love, companionship or the like but there was once a rumor about a former lover...

While the Siren holds no interest in serious romance, however one source of fondness she shows is one for children, especially orphans. After what she had gone through as an orphaned child herself, Rumi holds sympathy and a strong maternal sense of protecting them. If she is not performing or practicing her songs, the Zora can occasionally be seen playing or caring for the children in the area.

Biography:
Not a lot is known of Rumi, but those who have known her since the days of her youth would remember the poor child as one of the survivors in the poisoned sea incident 15 years ago. After losing both her parents to the tragic incident, Rumi had become afraid of the sea and left the Zora's Domain despite all the protests from the concerned Zora citizens who knew her family. Without a place to stay, the orphaned child huddled at the side of a local pub situated not too far off the coastal area. Found at such a pitiful state by the pub owner's welcoming wife, Rumi was taken in with an exchange of helping around the place.

It was during the songstress' teen years when Rumi's adoptive parents, the Hylian couple running the pub, discovered her graceful voice fit for a singing talent. Beautiful humming and singing while doing her chores around the pub were not only noticed by the parents but the customers who frequented the place as well. It was not too long before Rumi was asked to perform a little song as some form of entertainment by one of the customers and to her surprise, it was well received by the customers present at the pub. The Zora singer became a sort of an image for the pub from then on, having the young Rumi sing for the customers with words arranged by her own. Majority of them would be about the sea and there was always something melancholic about her tone when she did.

By the time Rumi was known as the Siren by the sailors and visitors around the area, the old couple decided it was best that her talent was to be shared to the rest of Hyrule if she herself desired so. It was a difficult decision to make for the young Zora, while she wished to stay by her adoptive parents' side to repay their kindness, the ambitious part of her desired to travel the lands to spread her name. After a long period of consideration, the songstress chose to start out the journey and leave her home with the promise to send shares of whatever she earned and that she will surely visit whenever able.

Currently, Rumi is hopping from bars to occasions, even to public places, to present her graceful yet melancholic singing voice.
