Name: Manami Kotone
Age: 9
Physical Description: Kotone is a small girl averaging at about 4'7". She wears an overly-large sweater given to her by her mom and makes it a rather unusual habit to bury her face into her sleeves at random points in time during the day. She wears glasses, not because she can't see but because her mother tells her that it makes her look sophisticated and like a woman.
Mental Description: Kotone has a very strong connection with her mother, she makes it a habit to do everything she can to please her. She is always on time to events, making it a habit to always arrive early at things. She is rather inquisitive almost to a fault, and gets constantly in trouble with other authority figures for asking one to many questions. She is pretty scared of boys, as she thinks they are untrustworthy. Probably stemming from the fact that her father cheated on her mother while she was very young. (Her mother told her, as there relationship is honest and open.) She likes to get to the bottom of things and won't stop until the questions have been answered.
History: Kotone doesn't come from a complicated child hood. She was conceived on a beautiful spring day. One that her mother describes with what seems like even more detail every time she asks to hear it. Her father worked at a day spa in town, and her mother ran a laundry service. For years the marriage worked Kotone loved both her parents equally, but whoever said there is no bond stronger than a father and his daughter obviously never met Kotone and her mother. They were inseparable, they always talked about everything and nothing. This close relationship though is what caused the rift between Kotone's mother and father. He blamed Kotone for taking the spark out of their marriage and taking too much of the mothers time. He didn't feel like he was needed anymore, and nothing is more damaging to a man than a hurt pride. He Spent large times away from the house coming back in the dead of the night, arguing with hermother while they thought Kotone was asleep. Kotone's mother later explained that she had accused him of being unfaithful when some women who had come to the laundry mat had been talking about seeing him with another woman. Kotone's mother was not a vengeful woman, she instead pleaded with her husband that they should try to work it out for themselves and Kotone. This was the straw that broke his back, as so as she mentioned that it would also be for Kotone he snapped and left never to return. Kotone and her mother were left to fend for each other, putting their mother daughter skills to the test, and ever since then Kotone has looked up to her mother.
