Hᴀʀᴠᴇsᴛ Mᴏᴏɴ: A Nᴇᴡ Yᴇᴀʀ

Olivia Frenwich

---

Olivia stretched her arms out, yawning while rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She hopped out of the bed, made her bed, put on a white robe, and opened the windows. The soft glow of the sun was the first thing that greeted her in the morning, something she often took as a sign that this will be a great day. From her bedroom at the second floor, she could see the vast lands of Valibree, a small town yet so brimming with life. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of newly-blooming flowers and the soothing grape smell that comes from her orchard. She was very thankful her parents let her live on her own in this beautiful town. Living for a long time in a city full of tall, steel buildings where people were always on the run, Olivia felt constricted as if she couldn't breathe. This place right here is where she truly belongs.

Another day, another chance to live, she thought to herself.

She went downstairs and could already hear the heavy thumping of Humphrey's paws. He bounded over Olivia, jumping energetically around her, as she knelt down to hug and scratch his ears and chin which the St. Bernard really enjoys.

"Hey boy. I see you're excited to start the day as me. That's the spirit!", she said to the dog.

Humphrey responded with happy barking and tail-waggling. Olivia chuckled and rubbed his head before going to the kitchen. She took out his favorite biscuits from one of the cabinets and put a healthy amount on his food bowl while putting milk on his drinking bowl. Humphrey barked excitedly before eating. Olivia simply got a bowl and put cereals and milk in it. She sat down and ate, admiring Humphrey as he quietly and patiently took his time on eating his meal. Well, as quietly and patiently as a dog could do.

Olivia suddenly straightened her back and hurriedly dashed outside the house. If she can’t find them inside the house then it means they're only wandering outside near it. True enough she found what she was looking for. She breathed a sigh of relief as she found Winda the Hen and Claud the Rooster at the doors of the coop. She walked over to them and knelt down to greet them. "Hello, Miss Winda! Greetings, Sir Claud! Wonderful day we have, isn't it? I'm sure you're very hungry as well. Hold on, I'll be right back", she said to the chickens as she opened the coop and heard Humphrey bounding over, no doubt to play with the chickens. She went to the supply room at the back to get chicken feed. While walking out, she can't help but feel sad about how spacious and empty this coop is. If only she knows how to properly raise farm animals then she would've been the town's farmer herself. Alas, the only thing she knows how to grow are grapes. Since she's not technically the farmer, she took it upon herself to clean the farm and ask for carpenters to keep it nice and sturdy.

She went outside and spread chicken feed as the two chickens walked over and pecked on their breakfast while she sees Humphrey barking and chasing a butterfly. Olivia smiled at the heartwarming scene as she went back to her house to finish her breakfast. She picked up her bowl and ate as she went to her message machine to hear any news for today. Olivia was very delighted to hear the mayor is hosting a feast for everyone tonight at his house. She rolled her eyes whenever the mayor would say something narcissistic. He may be self-centered at times but for her he's really a kind-hearted softie usually. For her. Usually.

She raised her brows as the mayor said something about bringing anything for the potluck tonight. Olivia pondered. She's been in the town for quite some time now but the only thing she brings for a feast is wine. She's worried the people might be quite sick of her bringing wines every single gathering so she thought of something different to bring. While thinking, she caught a whiff of aroma coming from her vineyard from the open windows. "Ah hah", she said.

Olivia washed her utensils, picked a basket, and then went outside to her humble frontyard garden. It may be a bit small for a vineyard but it's always been enough for her to create an ample supply of wines. She paused at each grapevine, admiring and complimenting how green their leaves are and how plump their grapes are. They say plants grow more wonderfully if you compliment them so she decided to do it ever since they sprouted from the ground. Other people might say that's a crazy idea but hey, all the best ideas are.

She picked out some grapes and put it in her basket. Humphrey was near as well, barking and chasing around a bee this time while the chickens are pecking around as usual. She went inside the coop and went to Winda's stall to get some eggs. She went at the back again to light a candle. She placed each of the eggs near the flame of the candle to know if they're fertilized or not. Olivia was quite bummed when she found out all the eggs are unfertilized. It would've been cool to see a whole flock of chicks playing around the farm but she's sure one day Winda and Claud will be comfortable enough with each other to make them.

Olivia went outside of the coop after she blew out the fire. She went inside the house and placed the ingredients at the kitchen counter. The problem is she has no idea how to bake and ff she wants to make some grape pie then she better do it right just in time for tonight. The cafe owner crossed her mind. Cafes not only serve coffee and tea, but also cakes, muffins, and more too! She took a shower and put on her clothes. As she locked the house's main door, she whistled to call over Humphrey. "Hey Humphrey, why don't you say we go for a walk?", she said to the dog as she rubbed her head. Humphrey happily replied with a bark and followed Olivia towards the town to visit the local cafe.

@Avanhelsing Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but since you are the town doctor, are you also the vet or will there be someone else to be the vet?

She has a male St. Bernard named Humphrey and she also takes care of a hen and rooster named Winda and Claud respectively.

H O M E L I F E

She currently lives on the house that's beside the town farm. She figured the farmland has good soil to plant her orchard not too mention the farm already has a wine cellar she can store her other wines into. Once a month, she gives all her time for the day to clean the vacant farm to maintain it. She'd gladly take on the farming for the town herself but she only knows how to grow grapes and has very little knowledge about farming in general.

Whenever she has free time, she would go to the Harvest Goddess at night with Humphrey, Winda, and Claud and just admire the fireflies flying over the pristine lake and the view of the moon in all its glory. She also has a mini-library in her house and would often read books as well.

Despite all this, she still keeps the spacious house clean and orderly just in case her usual clients would come by and buy wine from her or if someone would be interested enough to move in with her.

S T O R Y

Olivia's mom is the mayor of a city she used to live in. The city prospered and greatly improved under her mother's rule. Even if they are very wealthy, they are never arrogant and prideful and would give back to the community whenever they need help, a trait that made them admired by all.

Aside from that, her father is world-renowned due to his impeccable taste and knowing the best wine from the rest. Her brother and sister were more interested in politics, but Olivia was captivated by the wonders of wine and ask her father to teach her how to grow her very own orchard.

As time passed by, Olivia felt that something was missing even though she lived in luxury ever since she was little. One day she mustered up the courage to talk to her parents as she wanted to go to the province to live separately and independently from them. One would expect them to be harsh and cruel like stereotypical rich parents would be, but they have the softest hearts in the world. Of course they are sad their little girl wanted to live far away from them but they also knew it is what their daughter wanted and letting her go was the best for her. They agreed to let her leave but for two conditions: one, she will visit them once a month and two, bring grape seeds with her so she can have her own business in the countryland.

Olivia had lived in Valbree for quite some time now, able to make a name for herself for being the town's wine stewardess and its supplier of the finest, homegrown wine using all the knowledge and skills taught to her by her dad.

Justice League Unlimited vol. 2 iCheck

repost repost!

Kistune vol 2

Name: Naomi Yamanaka

Alias: Kitsune, Yokai Princess, Maiden of the Sakura

Age: 22

Personality: Mischievous; Compassionate; Free-spirited; Courageous; Selfless

Archetype: Mystic/Supernatural

Powers:

Soul Warrior

Soul Manipulation = Naomi has the ability to freely manipulate her own soul. She can release her soul in the form of energy blasts that can affect the physical body of the target as well as its own soul. Additionally, Naomi can incorporate her spiritual energy in her physical attacks which she mostly uses offensively against her enemies. When a spiritual energy in the form of a beam or in her physical attacks hits a target, effects may vary:

+ If target is a human = it will be affected both physically and spiritually, meaning the target will become more fatigued the more it is hit by her attacks in addition to feeling physical pain.

+ If target is an entity/deity/spirit/pure force of nature = target will be affected spiritually of course, but instead of being more fatigued it will experience pain.

Yokai-Crafted Seimei Umbrella = The various yokai who took her in and guarded her when she was lost in the woods made her this umbrella as a parting gift. Although she is adept at releasing spiritual attacks on her own, like magicians with their staves, Naomi uses a seimei umbrella that helps her focus her spiritual attacks and make them more precise. It is bound to her and will always reappear near her even when it is lost, broken, or stolen. She can use the umbrella as a mode of transportation similar to Mary Poppins, teleport to its location when far from her, and control it telepathically to fight with her.

Exorcism = Naomi can exorcise spirits from humans and other objects. Performing an exorcism in daylight with the sun shining makes the process easier for her.

Soul Tracking = She abandons all five senses as she uses her sixth sense to locate nearby souls in the area. While tracking, each soul has a different color corresponding to their categories: White for pure souls or literally just souls without a human body, Blue for human souls with a physical body, Red for animals, insects, and beasts/monsters, Green for nature spirits like dryads and nymphs, Black for tainted souls and demons, Gold for gods and deities, and any other color aside from the ones mentioned if they are of unknown origin. Something that is innate for her is that she can see and talk to yokai and any other types of spirits.

Physical Prowess = Naomi has been training in various martial arts as well as gymnastics since she was a kid, resulting in her being a very skilled fighter and having fast reflexes to be able to attack and counter her opponents faster than the others.

Empath Persuasion = She developed an uncanny ability to persuade others much like her namesake, Kitsune, which are quite infamous for tricking mortals. Her version of persuasion deals directly to her target's emotions as she became more of an empath as time went by, being able to sift through her target's memories to strengthen her persuasion.

Weaknesses:
+ Naomi is in grave danger when in combat with a demon or another tainted spirit warrior as she has a great chance of being tainted herself. If she does become tainted, she can only be purified when bathed in cherry blossom oil, by a priest or another pure soul, or by being basked in natural sunlight.

+ As much as she is skilled in martial arts, she may have a hard time when battling against an enemy that has a greater physique than her.

+ Naomi cannot revert from Physical to Spiritual Mode and vice versa if she is cursed by a more powerful magician or is unconscious. The more she stays in Spirit Mode, the more fatigue she will feel once she changes back into Physical Mode. To compensate, she has to sleep and eat a lot.

+ Her spiritual attacks are ineffective against soulless beings as well as her soul tracking for she is unable to see incoming bullets, missiles, and the like when she uses it.

+ Naomi must not be disturbed while performing an exorcism. One small mistake will unravel the incantation and completely cancel out the exorcism's effects no matter how far she is in the process.

+ She has teleportation sickness (poor soul).

Appearance:

Before she joined the League

Official League outfit

Character Evolution:
Naomi is pretty interested about having a boyfriend. She joined the Justice League because her father is one of Superman's many fanboys and she wanted to follow in her father's idol's steps. Though her parents are very skeptical of her joining the League with her mother being completely against it, Naomi's mom saw so much compassion in her daughter that it moved her to agree so long as she comes home before dinner. I think it would be an great place for her to learn from her other mature teammate's perspective and grow as a person. Naomi also thinks that having superhero friends would be super cool.

Altered History: Naomi has developed her powers as time went by. She has just finished college and is now presently working at a tech company. She also has a younger brother named Jin who, by some reason, seems to also have the ability to see and interact with spirits even at his age. Even though she's a member of the League for quite some time, she admits she still has a lot to learn before she can truly say she's a well-rounded heroine.

Recommended Background Leaguer: Zatannah

BRIEF Bio:
Back when she was a little girl, Naomi was lost in a forest and went completely off the radar for six days during a camping trip with her class. Little did they know that little Naomi accidentally discovered an entrance to the spirit world. Various yokai contemplated on what to do with the child as no human has ever entered the spirit world in centuries with some of them even suggested on killing her to prevent her from spreading the information regarding a portal to their realm. But they were baffled because where other humans would run in fear and hunt them down, Naomi was just filled with curiosity and excitement towards their weird but unique looks. What really changed their minds, however, is that they all sensed her pure heart as no matter how Naomi was bullied and left alone, she will always treat others with kindness and never let them affect her.

The yokai celebrated for the arrival of a very rare pure-hearted human and took her in as one of their own. But they sensed that the longer she stayed, the more she loses her humanity and becomes one of them. Most of all, she began to feel very homesick, deeply missing her parents. Also sensing the various humans who were looking for her, including her parents, they decided to bade farewell to her: they all gave her the blessing of the spirits and named her Yokai Princess, making her every spirit's friend and ally. They returned her on the seventh day, where the authorities found her peacefully sleeping under a cherry blossom tree with a seimei umbrella beside her. Naomi's parents tearfully hugged her and returned home, but much to Naomi's parents' surprise, the umbrella was waiting for them in her bedroom, along with a bowl of goldfishes they never had before.

No matter what they do, the umbrella always reappears near Naomi. Because of this, they concluded that a malicious yokai might have possessed the umbrella or worse their own daughter. Sensing the right time, the two goldfishes leaped out of their bowl and transformed into yokai themselves. After hysterical screaming and the panicked parents began to calm down, the two spirits began to explain the cause of her disappearance. They also said that they were assigned as her guardians due to her status as their Yokai Princess.

It was a rough start, but Naomi's family began to slowly adapt to their new lifestyle of living in harmony with spirits. A few years later, Naomi's dad received a call from his company: he got promoted and is said to move to their company's branch at Metropolis as soon as he can. He was very exited to move into the base of operations of his idol the Superman himself, but he thought of his daughter's newfound friends at Japan and how they will react. Fortunately, the yokai agreed. Though sad they'll never get to see their beloved princess again, they are happy as long as they know Naomi is happy.

Notes:
+ She has two modes, Physical and Spirit. In Physical Mode, her hair is black and her eyes coffee-brown. While she retains her physical abilities, she can't release soul-based attacks and her seimei umbrella is as useful to her as any other umbrella (though it will still return to her like normal). In Spirit Mode, her hair becomes pink and her eyes bright yellow, she can release spiritual attacks as well and she has full usage of her umbrella as well.

+ She always releases sakura flowers and petals whenever doing her spiritual attacks, earning her the nickname as the "Maiden of the Sakura".

Sample Post:

changed to (hopefully) suit the main theme

As soon as Kitsune teleported to the Headquarters, she experienced vertigo and dropped to her knee while using her seimei umbrella as a cane stick. She doesn't know why but first time she used a teleportation device, the world suddenly back-flipped and she decorated the polish steel floors of the HQ with her breakfast. Having teleportation sickness is probably the only thing Kitsune hates about being a member of the Justice League. She was so embarrassed that she went home as soon as she finished doing all the things she has to do at the HQ and didn't come out of her room for the whole day. She shut herself out from the outside world, not responding to any messages from the HQ, and went on a How to Get Away with Murder marathon while sulkily eating sushi.

One would think someone like her who's been a member of the League for quite some time now would get used to what she calls the teleportation-thingy but life, as we know it, isn't full of rainbows and glitter-pooping unicorns. On the bright side, she managed to not completely vomit this time but instead dry-heaved, using her umbrella as a cane to stand up despite the world continuing to spiral wildly. Anyone who would see her right now may mistake her for being a young woman who's just been drunk for the first time.

But despite in her nauseated state, she managed to think comprehensively. Where is everyone? The HQ always has someone to monitor it in case most of the members are on a mission, so where's the monitor? She looked around and saw no signs of life. Using her soul tracking would be a peace of cake as she could already tell if there's someone in the vicinity, but along with the teleportation sickness, she's heavily mentally tired due to her efforts in freeing the innocents from Brainwave's mind control. She made a mental note to continue improving on this newfound skill of hers but for now she could really use some rest.

Naomi walked to her personal quarters using her seimei umbrella to support her while walking. She doesn't dare to change back to her Physical Form as the longer she stayed in Spirit Form, the more fatigue she will feel once she reverts. If she changed right now, she'll immediately drop face-first into the floor, hugging her umbrella and snoring loudly.

After years of torment, she finally made it to her room. Making sure the door is locked and secure, she removed her fox mask and placed it under a pile of clothes in her drawer. Naomi puts her seimei umbrella against the wall and changed into comfortable clothing then she floats over the bed, ready to literally drop on it. With a final exhale, she closed her eyes and changed back into Physical Mode, her hair black and her eyes dark brown, as she dropped on the bed and immediately began to snore loudly while cuddling her big ol' teddy bear.
